Track List
Album Reviews:
Q (5/97, p.138) - 4 Stars (out of 5) - "...OCTOPUS is from the band's full-blooded 'prog' heyday...be assured that there was no-one like them..."
Mojo (Publisher) (3/01, p.59) - "...Conceived as eight pieces, each reflecting the character of a member of the band....an early Giant piece could hurtle from jazz-rock to medieval madrigal, via an a cappella section, a recorder duet and a vibraphone solo....dexterously performed and likely to baffle as enthuse an audience..."
Album Notes
Along with THREE FRIENDS, OCTOPUS is a fine example of Gentle Giant 's early-1970s heyday, which featured the oft-underrated British progressive-rock ensemble deftly balancing complex arrangements with catchy melodies and intriguing multi-part vocal harmonies. While the frenetic instrumental "The Boys in the Band" showcases the group's tight-knit musicianship, "Knots" finds the Schulman brothers (Derek, Phil, and Ray) and company venturing into Queen-like a cappella moments, albeit with an even quirkier approach. For listeners wanting to sample Gentle Giant's considerable '70s catalogue, OCTOPUS warrants an extended visit.

Sawbones is a novel for children and young teens, centring on young Ezra MacAdam, a surgeon's apprentice in 18th-century London who is also "mulatto" (mixed race) and a freed slave from Jamaica.
It's part of his job to help his master dissect corpses (cue lots of gory descriptions), and one day an unusual cadaver – a black man with his tongue pre-removed – is delivered to the dissecting room. Chocks away for an entertaining crime caper, involving the Ottoman Empire, an exiled Turkish prince, Russian spies, resurrection men, smuggled gems and murders galore. Loveday Finch, a red-headed, rapier-wielding conjuror's daughter becomes Ezra's friend and detective partner. One is reminded a little of Jamila Gavin's Coram Boy – this isn't quite as literary, as well-wrought, or as serious, but it's fun in the same kind of way, so if you or your child liked that, you or your child will probably like this.Reuse content

Before the iconic title ever rolls onto the screen, the new Star Trek (directed by J.J. Abrams, creator of Lost) establishes what kind of film it's going to be. The USS Kelvin is being attacked. A gigantic, black, spider-like ship has appeared mysteriously out of an immense cloud of lightning. The USS Kelvin is undersized, and under-gunned. The anonymous ship looms over the Federation ship like a tarantula about to strike at a helpless bug. The crew has to evacuate. One man stays behind to captain the ship – George Kirk.
This sets the stage for a brand new Star Trek universe. This mysterious ship has somehow altered the events of the original Star Trek universe, creating a new line of events. How the ship alters those events will not be divulged in this review, but suffice it to say that it is a genius way to reboot a franchise, and just about the only way to give it a fresh start.
We witness the birth of James T. Kirk. He grows up to be a sassy teenager who steals vintage cars and then into a self-absorbed, cocky young man who, as one character points out, is the smartest repeat offender on the planet.
After a bar fight with a bunch of Star Fleet trainees, Kirk is asked to join by Captain Pike, who knew Kirk's late father. It's no surprise to us that Kirk joins the fleet and soon finds himself whisked away on an adventure. The true surprise is where that adventure will take us.
Other beloved characters play starring roles here. Zachary Quinto (Heroes) as Spock is a perfect choice. Half man, half Vulcan, Spock from a young age has always had trouble reining in his emotions. The young Vulcans try and illicit anger and frustrations from the young Spock because of his part-human heritage. Quinto plays Spock with a quiet, reserved reverence, without the hint of just trying to impersonate Leonard Nimoy.
"Bones" McCoy, played by Karl Urban (The Bourne Supremacy), steals every scene he's in. This part could have ended up being extremely over-the-top, but Urban nails it. While he's mostly there to interject some humor into an otherwise complex plot, McCoy still has his moments of heroism and isn't just there for comic relief. The main comic relief comes when Simon Pegg (Hot Fuzz) is introduced as Scotty, but he's the perfect man for the job. Every line Pegg has is genuinely funny and timed perfectly.
As we all know, the Star Trek franchise is one of the most storied and beloved of all time. Abrams could have made a film that catered to the die-hard followers, or dumbed it way down for the masses who haven't ever watched a Star Trek episode in their life. The genius of this film is that Abrams has found that thin dividing line. All that is needed is a minimal knowledge of the characters to understand most of the film and even the inside jokes that pop up. Kirk and Spock are such iconic characters, and have so ingrained their place in pop culture, that it will be hard to find someone out there who won't know just a little bit about them, and that little bit is enough to enjoy the film.
If there is a fault with the movie it has to be laid at the feet of the villain, Nero. Played by Eric Bana (Munich), we never get a real understanding of who he is or why his ship is so amazingly superior to any other starship out there. Bana seems a little bored as Nero. It's hard to fear him as the ultimate bad guy. The weapon he possesses is ultimate in nature, that's for sure, but he is more of a pushover.
The film also suffers a little from the 'shaky-cam' syndrome. While it's not as nauseating as some other films that employ this technique, there are times where the action is fairly muddled as a result.
Geeks and non-geeks alike will be able to enjoy this film. Its 126-minute running time feels more like ninety. There are some holes in the plot, sure, but no one has ever questioned Star Trek science, so why do it now? Thinking too much about the plot may induce a migraine.
While this version of Star Trek relies heavily on amazingly rendered special effects, there is a story with some depth and substance here. It isn't just a glossy veneer of CGI held up so we don't discover that the film really has no depth. Spock and Kirk must find themselves, and build a lasting relationship if anything is going to work out in this new universe. We care about these characters, because we cared about the old characters, but also because these new people have embodied these roles and made them their own.Powered by Sidelines

Close Firefox dialog box
One window that can appear on start up is the "Close Firefox" dialog. Things we can do to avoid this dialog (that are more advanced then giving the user a problem and a list of instructions) are:
1) wait a second or so and see if Firefox has closed, often Firefox was in the process of shutting down and the user decided to reopen it.
2) actually kill the process ourselves, it's unreasonable to expect the user to know how to kill an hung process.
See also bug 295693.
I think it is important that any automatic actions (even waiting) are visible so that the user knows what the problem is and take measures to avoid this in the future if possible.
FWIW, the "kill the process ourselves" solution is covered by bug 286355 (on Windows) and is probably technically infeasible.
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 401301 ***

Himalayan salt
Himalayan salt is rock salt or halite from the Punjab region of Pakistan. It is mined at the Khewra Salt Mine in Khewra, Jhelum District, Punjab, which is situated in the foothills of the Salt Range hill system in the Punjab province of the Indo-Gangetic Plain. It is located approximately 310 kilometres (190 mi) from the Himalayas, 260 kilometres (160 mi) from Lahore, and 298 kilometres (185 mi) from Amritsar, India.[1]
Mineral composition[edit]
Himalayan salt is chemically similar to table salt plus mineral impurities. It consists of 95-98% sodium chloride, 2-4% polyhalite (potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulfur, oxygen, hydrogen), 0.01% fluoride, 0.01% iodine, and micro-amounts of numerous trace minerals.[2][3]
The salt crystals have an off-white to transparent color while impurities in some veins of salt give it a pink, reddish, or beef red color.[4] The reddish color is due to the presence of elements in polyhalite and trace minerals.[5]
It is commonly used in cooking, in place of other table salt, in brine.[2] Numerous claims have been made concerning ingestion of himalayan salt, but there is no scientific evidence that proves it provides more health benefits compared to common table salt.[6]
Blocks of salt are also used as serving dishes and in the preparation of food. Fish and some meats can be preserved for use in certain dishes, and blocks of salt can be slowly heated to a temperature of around 200 °C (392 °F) and used as a cooking surface thereafter.
Bath salts[edit]
It is sometimes used in bath salts.[2]
Salt lamps[edit]
A salt lamp consists of a large salt crystal, often colored, and lit with an incandescent light bulb, LED, or candle inside. Most of such lamps on the market are made of coloured salt rocks mined in Poland (Kopalnia Soli Kłodawa), Pakistan (the area of Kashmir), and Iran (Esfahan).
The lamps give an attractive glow and are suitable for use as nightlights or for ambient mood lighting.
Numerous claims have been made concerning salt lamps, but there is no scientific evidence that prove these beliefs or benefits.[7][8]
- no proof of air cleaning
- no proof of medical benefits
- no proof of ions emitted
- no proof of positive energy waves
- no proof of neutralizing electromagnetic radiation

We have synthesized single crystals of FeTe1-xSx and investigated the structural and physical properties. The actual S concentration was found to be significantly smaller than the starting nominal value. The solubility limit of S for the Te site for the crystals grown using a self-flux method was estimated to be around 12%. Although a suppression of antiferromagnetic transition was observed by S substitution, bulk superconductivity was not observed. A phase diagram of as-grown FeTe 1-xSx single crystal was established on the basis of the structural and physical properties. © 2010 IEEE. Source

Unwrapping the hottest titles for the season, and beyond
In the months following the annual Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles, we anxiously await the release of the latest automotive game titles like fuel-weaned track brats with too much time on their hands. Many of the titles have reached the market, and we've given them a thorough test drive. There are a few that won't quite make it in time for the December holidays, but would be well worth saving a gift card for.
These early '05 titles promise to reinvigorate and reinvent racing simulators. Long-time benchmark franchise Gran Turismo dealt gamers a painful blow by announcing its U.S. release was postponed from December 14, to first quarter '05. In doing so, it left newcomers Enthusia and Forza Motorsport in the hunt for enthusiast dollars, both launching in the same time period. All three promise more realism and depth than previous competitors, with GT4 wielding a 600-plus stable of licensed cars. We've given these future titles first drives and are quite anxious for their release.
It's a great time to be a car enthusiast and a gamer. Read on to learn about a few pacesetters that may endear themselves to your gift list.
Burnout 3: Takedown
Invite a couple friends over — or join up online — with any street-race title and the structured gameplay inevitably breaks down to full-throttle mayhem, with crashes and laughter. The latest installment in the Burnout franchise makes it easy to cast aside any pretense of serious racing, and just have pure, unruly fun. The numbers are as big as the crashes, with more than 40 tracks spanning three continents, and over 70 cars from 12 classes, such as American muscle, European exotics, and semi trucks. There are numerous game types, with single events in Race, Time Attack, Road Rage, and Crash form spanning from actual motorsports competition to under sheetmetal carnage.
Hosted by LA-based KROQ disc jockey Stryker, the game starts with race training, starting the process of rewiring your brain to focus on causing damage. The alternative rock soundtrack with snarky Stryker commentary give the game the appropriate irreverent attitude certain to tap the Mt. Dew-fueled pulse of Gen Y gamers. It quickly becomes apparent that winning isn't measured by finishing order, but rather the balance of style and crash points. Progressing through, players can quickly unlock cars and events, opening up a bigger world ripe for four-wheeled chaos. The "generic" cars look more like real cars than most unlicensed games, making it easy for an enthusiast to name the make and model. In choosing cars for competition, information is limited to Top Speed and Weight for making a selection. A simple Handling rating would help.
The infectious, often hilarious, gameplay encourages progress through the Burnout 3 World tour with 55 U.S.A. and 173 world events. A great points system, rewarding each aspect of destruction, and detailed damage modeling give this arcade racer real life. There is even the ability to slow time during a crash to influence the vehicle direction in slo-mo to cause more damage. With sparks flying, doors dangling, and laughter wailing, Burnout is a party game best enjoyed with others. The simulator antidote, Burnout 3 is pure automotive anarchy for drivers who prize entertainment over trophies. —Jeff Bartlett

Colin McRae Rally 2005
No driver is more synonymous with World Rally Championship racing than Colin McRae, and again he has teamed with Codemasters to create a defining race sim. Developed while Colin was between rides, the latest game offers more than 30 cars, including WRC legends Audi Sport Quattro, Citroen Xsara, Ford Escort RS Cosworth, Ford RS200, Lancia Stratos, Subaru Impreza WRX, Volkswagen Golf Mk5, Toyota Celica VVTLi, and Volkswagen New Beetle RSi. A non-linear career mode sees players climbing from amateur status to professional, over 23 events, broken down to more than 300 stages. Along the way, drivers will pilot all manner of cars, including 2WD, 4WD, 4WD Classics, Super 2WD, RWD, Distinctive, and 4×4 Classics. The Career mode is huge, though Championship is more approachable. Here, you compete as "The Flying Scotsman" himself through a WRC season, either as a single player or via XBox Live. With famed navigator Nicky Grist barking out commands, the game is immersive in the dirty world most only know through Speed Channel.
RalliSport Challenge set a high mark for XBox graphics, and CMR05 answers the call with stunning visuals. Terrain, grass, car, and even the active driver are all rendered with convincing, even impressive, clarity. Dirt accumulates with the subtlety of spray paint, rather than clumps depicted in most games. Where RSC straddles between arcade and simulator, CMR05 is pure sim. The greater complexity requires a light, careful driving touch, car tuning, and stage practice to excel.
Players would be wise to start with a few Challenges: single races that can build skills and confidence in equal measures. Going against a ghost car in the time trials provides a suitable pace target, often reminding that smoothness and consistency are the keys to winning, not all-out, tree-crunching speed. CMR05 may be the best rally simulator to drift sideways on a console, but its all-business attitude may appeal more to mature, WRC enthusiasts than those players who expect an in-your-face game and rockin' soundtrack. —Jeff Bartlett
Codemasters — Platform: Xbox
Driv3r (Driver 3) is not your father's Driver video game. Over the past few years the success of the original Driver and Driver 2 games had people screaming for more. But when Atari and Reflections released Driv3r earlier this year the long wait for the latest iteration of chase driving madness had somehow been for nothing. Driv3r has turned the classic tale of Tanner, the undercover "wheel man," into a clone of the Grand Theft Auto series.
In the first Driver game Tanner's undercover status meant he had to run from the cops chasing him. In the second game, Driver 2, Tanner could exit his vehicle and commandeer another to continue his mission. Game upgrades included curved roads, more cities, and expanded story lines, which made the second game even better. But Driv3r has gone in a slightly different direction: a more violent one.
Where the first two games were simple smash up, car-chasing fun, Driv3r has taken on a more gritty feel with Tanner carrying weapons. In a disappointing turn, the game allows the shooting of police officers and even the running over of pedestrians. While Carmageddon it is not, if you're not a fan of the GTA games then Driv3r may not be for you. Driv3r is still a driving game at its heart, but the on-foot missions and shooting damped the fun.
What the crew at Reflections should be wholly applauded for is their extensive reworking of the game engine. The full-motion video cut scenes are movie quality with A-list actors voicing major characters in the game. The three cities in the game, Miami, Nice, and Istanbul are detailed and digitized replicas of their real counterparts with famous landmarks and real streets. Vehicles in the game are not licensed, but you can figure out what you're driving for the most part. We recognized Shelby Mustangs, GT-40s, Ferraris, old Mopars, and more, with just a tweak or two to avoid the licensing fees.– Mark Houlahan
Atari — Platform: PS2, Xbox
Enthusia Professional Racing
Konami has set its sights on such popular and successful games as Gran Turismo, Sega GT, and Project Gotham Racing with its all-new simulator. Their secret weapon is a unique Visual Gravity System that measures and visually expresses G-forces as they are applied to the car when accelerating, turning, or hitting bumps in the road to allow the racer to better see and "feel" the pressure exerted on a car during racing.
Promising to challenge the sim elite by focusing on delivering absolute racing realism, Enthusia will be more about driving cars than it is about modifying them. It promises a full stable of hundreds of licensed vehicles from more than 40 manufacturers, as well as a large assortment of tracks that encompass a variety of terrain and weather. Fictional tracks offer randomly-generated courses for new race experiences with every contest.
While it will offer single- or two-player modes, there has been no declaration of online play, nor has a specific release date in 2005 been announced. Advance video samples and our hands-on experience reveal incredible scenery with beautifully rendered vehicles racing at full speed. Competition will be fierce the first half of '05, with car enthusiasts being the only guaranteed winners.–Brandy Schaffels

Forza Motorsport
Forza Motorsports has been in development for more than three years and is stuffed with over 200 real-life production cars, racing on six real tracks (including Nurburgring, Laguna Seca, and Tsukuba) and three fantasy tracks based on real city streets. Taking advantage of the platform's awesome computing power, it offers gorgeously detailed backgrounds, textures, light bloom, and shading, as well as astounding damage modeling, with graphics rendered at 30 frames per second for an incredible sensation of speed. With tire physics provided by Toyo and aerodynamic assistance courtesy of Ferrari, handling and dynamics are processed at twice that rate, updating at 60fps to offer seamless racing realism.
Cars are completely customizable in performance and appearance, from the engines, suspensions, and tires, to the body parts, paint, and decals. While most mods are packaged as kits to simplify the process and assist performance, racers can visually transform their car with hundreds of layers that include colors, shapes, stripes, and text, creating virtually infinite options and allowing rides to be more easily recognizable in the Xbox Live arenas.
Forza offers single-player to head-to-head racing options with up to eight players online. Its 'career mode' tracks users on and offline, with a ranking system that ensures evenly matched online racing across all skill levels. Varying risk/reward physics allow racers of every skill level to enjoy the game, with higher incentives awarded when racing with fewer assists. And, the game's Artificial Intelligence allows racers to train "Drivatars" which can duplicate their driving techniques to race on their behalf in competitions.
Finally, the rarity of specific vehicles is based on whether the player chooses to collect North American, European, or Asian models, so what is easily and cheaply obtainable in one market might be a valuable commodity in the worldwide online community. Think Corvette, or Skyline, or Modena…
Forza Motorsport is projected to be on sale February 1, 2005, about a month before that PlayStation game is due. Xbox racers should be frothing at the mouth by then. –Brandy Schaffels

Gran Turismo 4
We got it, we played it, we love it. Polyphony Digital's latest Gran Turismo introduces a toolbox full of new features that'll have you playing for weeks. Ever want to race in the Grand Canyon or around New York City? Now you can.
GT4 offers over 650 cars from 80 manufacturers and up to 100 tracks along with a variety of race modes. GT Career Simulation Mode and GT Arcade Mode are still available, but also added are GT Director, B-Spec, and GT Photo modes. GT Director allows players to take the role of race team manager. Not in the mood to drive? B-Spec lets the computer take the wheel while you sit back and watch the fun unfold.
GT Photo gives you a shot at two different types of photography: Photo Drive, where you can photograph your car during a race, and Photo Travel, where you take your favorite vehicle to one of 15 locations around the globe, set up the shot, and take the picture.
The cars in GT4 have been designed to emulate the real-life driving dynamics unique to each particular vehicle, based on manufacturer data and hands-on testing. Classic hot rods have that floating yet heavy feel, and high-horsepower, mid-engine cars get spooky when throwing them around.
Two new engine modifications, superchargers and nitrous oxide, are sure to add plenty of sparks to the racing action, while active steering has been added to help keep you on the road.
Unfortunately, GT4 is still missing three key players: Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Porsche. Online gaming (one of the game's original goals), which would allow players to compete against any one, anywhere, has not yet made it into to the package. But given Polyphony's goal to develop a community feel, we expect this significant feature to be included for the Winter 2005 launch.
GT4 also offers a seemingly endless variety of courses: rally, closed circuit, and cities covering real life and fantasy locations. With its depth, accuracy, and true automotive passion, Gran Turismo 4 sets a standard that will likely go unrivaled on the current generation console systems. —Scott Mortara

NASCAR 2005: Chase for the Cup
With NASCAR's premier league taking on a new title sponsor and making a significant change in the points-based championship format this year, it is no surprise that EA's 2005 title would be overhauled. Several new game modes add significant depth to a series known for value. Of course, there's a Chase for the Cup mode with a ten-race shootout for the Nextel Cup championship. In addition to Nextel Cup, players can progress through Featherlite Modified, Craftsman Truck, and NASCAR "National" (aka Busch) series to ultimately compete with the stock car elite. These features combine in the Fight to the Top mode, where the player develops a career as a driver or owner, making decisions on where, how, and what to drive. Adding to the career aspect is the ability to build a fan base, as track performance and even autograph signing plays a roll.
The next evolution in the respected Grudges and Alliances feature from last year's game allows drivers' to become heroes or villains. In a tip of the helmet to the late Dale Earnhardt, drivers' can use the "Intimidator" feature to encourage a competitor to make an error and allow a pass. Ultimately, the fans love heroes and villains, rewarding both with product sales that will help a career. As on-track rivalries develop, the conflicts can take to the streets in a fun new feature. American muscle cars, such as Corvettes, Vipers, and Ford GTs, race through city streets. In fact, the game kicks off with such a race against Ryan Newman, who is easily beat. Impressed Ryan offers to get a race career started. Cell phone calls start the challenges rolling in a very infectious way. Core features have all improved, with this year's game featuring more than 60 drivers, 39 tracks including 13 road courses and eight fantasy circuits, and 37 Lightning Challenges with pro drivers hosting real-race-based scenarios. All the sights, sounds, and voices of NASCAR bring this game to life. To top it off, the Xbox edition offers online game play for the first time. The best console NASCAR game ever to capture a checkered flag, NASCAR 2005 packs the horsepower to enthrall even a casual fan until the next season begins in Daytona.–Jeff Bartlett

Need for Speed Underground 2
Sequel to the original critical and sales success Need for Speed: Underground, NFSU2 expands upon every attribute that made the original the import racing benchmark. The new game is set in a sprawling city with 125 miles of roadway and five distinct, connected neighborhoods. The core concept is for players to explore the massive environment, interacting with local racers who can groom their skills and turn them on to competitions.
True to form, the game features dozens of tuner-friendly coupes, sedans, and even SUVs ripe for personalization. These vehicles can be enhanced through hundreds of aftermarket component, from pure performance to magazine-worthy cosmetics. There are now more than 50 go-fast components to upgrade across nine categories, with hundreds of licensed aftermarket pieces to choose from. Likewise, the available exterior enhancements double the previous game's offerings.
The original title had circuit, spring, drift, and drag competitions. NFSU2 adds downhill drift, StreetX, and Underground Racing League to the mix. Even the groundbreaking, Hollywood FX-grade graphics have evolved, maintaining the franchise's claim to being the most visually stimulating race title.
Like the numerous NFS games before it, the ultimate key to this game's success is the sheer accessibility. It is easy to be drawn into its quick-rendering world and hard to escape. The different modes are intuitive, modifications fun and easy, driving is predictable, and game play is infectious. A true genre-defining title, NFSU2 sets the standard for multi-platform import racers. —Jeff Bartlett

RalliSport Challenge 2
RalliSport Challenge 2 maintains its arcade-style roots from the first version and adds more realism to create a game that feels much more genuine than its predecessor. More than 40 licensed cars including the Audi Quattro RS1, Ford GT70, Volkswagen New Beetle RSi, and even the monstrous Group B cars are on tap. Each car has its own strengths and gamers are able to make minor modifications to tires, dampers, break balance, steering and gear ratios to match conditions or driving styles. Car control is simple, so attention can be kept on the track, but rest assured you will still be slipping and sliding your way through RSC2.
Featuring 90+ tracks RSC2 is set in a multitude of locations all over the world. Utilizing an updated graphics engine, RSC2 is as visually perfect a console racing game as you're going to find. The racing environment looks superb, crashes are spectacular and damaged car parts flay in the breeze, though you'll pretty much have to lose a tire to decrease any real performance. There are minor flaws such as refresh rate and some pixelating when the action gets heavy, but overall the game looks spectacular and these concessions are fair.
RSC2 has four game modes, including Career, Single Race, Time Attack, and Multiplayer. There are also five single rally race modes. Rally, Rally Cross, Ice Racing, Hill Climb and the new Crossover duel. With Xbox Live you can also take your rallying skills to the virtual racing world and set up or search for a rally league or tournament and even track standings and racing statistics.
Unlike Colin McRae 2005, RSC2 is delivers arcade accessibility and style, with broader appeal. If you are gamer who is even mildly interested in a visually stunning and challenging racing (never mind that it's rallying) game that you'll go back to again and again, RSC2 simply can not be missed.–Glen Wilkinson

Street Racing Syndicate
Namco drops the clutch for law-breaking street racing with a long feature roster underhood of SRS, blasting a nitrous shot into the import racer combustion chamber. Midnight Club established the formula, Need for Speed: Underground dressed the set and perfected the interface, now SRS brings more import scene enthusiasm to the party. A loose story structure pulls the player into the underground world of illicit motorsports, racing for money and the allure of perpetual upgrades. Further enticement comes from attracting the support of import racing's hottest female models.
In a rain-slicked world with as many dazzling colors as a pinball table, the player drives licensed cars through the cities, seeking money and dodging police. In a rare twist, the cars take damage.
Enthusiasts will appreciate being able to literally look under the hood of the cars, and see real-world performance cited to help make smart purchase decisions. Pull in to a garage to make modifications, selecting from a wide roster of licensed components. Realistic prices, component descriptions, and forecasted performance gains make this process simple, though time consuming. With a stout car, you can freely roam Los Angeles, Miami, and Philadelphia looking for action, or head direct to crew matches and sanctioned events. Through the SRS experience, you can race for pink slips, respect, and sheer thrills.
Where SRS shines brightest is in conveying the Super Street culture, though its overall gameplay is second to the formidable Need for Speed: Underground 2. Import enthusiasts will consider this essential gear for their crib.–Jeff Bartlett

TOCA Race Driver 2: Ultimate Driving Simulator
Blending realistic and arcade-style play in a racing sim, TOCA Race Driver 2: Ultimate Driving Simulator (TRD2) delivers a veritable smorgasbord of racing delights and variety with 31 championships covering 15 different racing styles. TRD2 gives the gamer a realistic feel of competitive racing and challenges the driver with a good balance of racing sim and arcade-style game play.
There are 31 licensed and fictional racetracks on tap for a total of 48 circuits. For motivation, 35 aspirational cars are awaiting ignition including Aston Martin Vanquish, Ford GT, Mercedes-AMG CLK, and Nissan Skyline. From rally, to GT sports car, to classic car racing, and more in between, TRD2 delivers enough variety to keep just about any racing sim fan grinning.
Career mode features a first-person interactive storyline in which you start as a novice driver aiming for the top. The cars handle like their real-world counterparts and setup adjustability is available. AI opponents are competent, and you'll definitely be bouncing off them. Damage in big crashes is usually quite minimal, which is a bonus for novice racers.
TRD2 looks great as cars, tracks, and the racing environment are very pleasingly rendered. The most glaring flaw is engine noise. Some engine sounds are simply too tinny and detract from an otherwise engrossing racing experience. The voice tracks and background music score sound excellent, but it is the meat of the game, the racing, that needs to be perfect and sound just isn't.
TRD2 appeals the realist in all of us and successfully walks the line between ultra-techy racing sim and arcade game – and does it with enough racing and vehicle variety to satisfy the scrutiny of most racing sim gamers.–Glen Wilkinson
Codemasters — Platforms: PC, PS2, Xbox
Harkening back to the grand days of SimCity and the legions of build-it-yourself titles that followed, TrackMania is a RollerCoaster Tycoon-type game for automotive enthusiasts. Certain to awaken the little kid in anyone, TrackMania allows the player to create custom, fanciful tracks and then race on them.
Just as with SimCity and the like, building can be great fun. Choosing from a broad palette of track types, including pavement, overpasses, dirt, snow-covered surfaces, steep banks, and tunnels, tracks can be built out in limitless combinations. Controls are old-school simple: just select, click, rotate, and voila. Piece by piece, anyone can build a daring course. For even more construction fun, the game has a puzzle mode that provides track-building challenges. A blank screen with Start and Finish markers, and limited number of track pieces, can make for a good, cerebral challenge.
With the track constructed, it's time to race. Pick a car from the stable of brandless hot rods, speed machines, and rally cars, then chase the clock. Or better yet, play online in round, team, and time attack modes. Ultimately, the races are all for time, with no car-to-car collisions. Driving performance is decidedly arcade, providing fast, slippery thrills.
TrackMania doesn't possess the same polish as leading, dedicated race games. But then they don't allow you to build out Rube Goldberg-caliber tracks, either. The soundtrack is weak, sound effects mediocre, graphically competent, and driving dynamics acceptable. However, taken as a whole, the game is quite engaging, especially at its $30 price. Like a child's Hot Wheels fantasy realized on the computer screen, TrackMania brings world-building game play to automotive enthusiasts in an entertaining PC title. —Jeff Bartlett

Somali Pirates Refuse to Board Carnival Cruise Ships Cite 'Unsafe Working Conditions'
MOGADISHU - In yet another public relations setback for the beleaguered cruise ship company, Somali pirates today said they would no longer board Carnival Cruise ships, citing "unsafe working conditions."
"If Carnival thinks that it's going to be business as usual between them and the Somali pirates, they need to have their heads examined," said Somali pirate spokesman Sugule. "We Somali pirates may be bold, but we're not crazy."

The pirate said that the recent fire that crippled the giant cruise ship Carnival Splendor "has sent a shiver through the pirate community."
"We Somali pirates face enough risks without dealing with decks bursting into flames," he said. "And don't get me started on the nonfunctioning toilets."
When asked if the Somali pirates might attempt to board Carnival ships in the future, he responded, "I am telling me hearties that if they were thinking of pillaging a Carnival ship of its booty over the holidays, they should make alternative plans."
Carol Foyler, a spokesperson for Carnival Cruises, said that the company "would be working overtime to win back the pirates' trust."
In the meantime, Ms. Foyler said, Carnival would be unveiling a new slogan in the weeks to come: "Come for the fun, stay for the raging inferno."
I'm not sure if Ceasar authored that thing, but remember that he has tried his hand at standup, which ended in disaster on NBC-6's South Florida Today show in 2007. On the show, then hosted by Tony Segreto, Ceasar unveiled some really bad jokes about the recently deceased Anna Nicole Smith's sexual provlivities and breast implants. The jokes were not only tasteless; they were way too soon. It was so bad that Segreto yanked the Democratic chairman off the show. "We wanted to apologize for some of the comments [Ceasar] made," Segreto told the audience after Ceasar was politely escorted from the studio. "We certainly did not expect the comments that he made today to come out the way they did. As it is now, NBC-6 is not planning to have him back on the show."
Yeah, Broward Democrats, that's your leader.

In today's round of voting in the 2010 Reader's Choice awards here at MMORPG.com, we invite you to check out this year's nominees for the Biggest Disappointment of the year. These are the games that excited us and made us desperate for the game to be released. Then that same game caused sleepless nights that made us wish we'd never cared. Check out the list, pick your "favorite" disappointment and let us know why you picked it in the comments below.
This year, our categories are: Game of the Year, New Game of the Year, Most Innovative, Most Improved, Best F2P, Favorite Company, Biggest News Story, Most Anticipated, and the newest, and most dubious, addition to our prizes, Biggest Disappointment.

As much as I think Mortal Online was the worst game of the year... I still think I have to go with STO as my biggest dissapointment. I had such high hopes...
"I should point out that no other company has shipped out a beta on a disc before this." - Official Mortal Online Lead Community Moderator
Starvault's reponse to criticism related to having a handful of players as the official "test" team for a supposed MMO: "We've just have another 10ish folk kind enough to voulenteer added tot the test team" (SIC) This explains much about the state of the game :-)
Final Fantasy. I should have seen it coming with their latest console game, but I held out for this game. This game that should of kept me playing MMOs for a while longer. Belly flop. I'm STILL holding out for this game to get better.
Will it ever happen?
ffxiv is by far the biggest flop
2010 in general wa bad, but NOTHING was worse than Final Fantasy. STO was even bearable in comparison. APB also had its fun moments.
Well that wasn't exactly hard.
Number 1: Star Trek Online !
Number 2: Final Fantasy 14 !
I voted 2010 in general. was looking forward to STO, FFXIV, and ABP. all were bust. Good thing I didn't buy any of them and instead waited to hear from the players.
Can you add LOTRO to the list it will win by far over these other games.
join us on seastone (btw no cash shop to run your bank account dry)

Yes, but you forget that Star Trek is one of the most popular IP's on the entire planet (next to Star Wars and Tolkien's Middle Earth).
That weights extra heavy on the total dissapointment the game was.
2010 in general was bad. 2011 Looks better and hopefully it will be.
I've been uplinked and downloaded, I've been inputted and outsourced. I know the upside of downsizing, I know the downside of upgrading.
I'm a high-tech low-life. A cutting-edge, state-of-the-art, bi-coastal multi-tasker, and I can give you a gigabyte in a nanosecond.
I'm new-wave, but I'm old-school; and my inner child is outward-bound.
I'm a hot-wired, heat-seeking, warm-hearted cool customer; voice-activated and bio-degradable.
RIP George Carlin.
Yes, 2010 sucked choad but it's funner pinning it on one "game". And that steaming pile of flop is named Mortal Online. I'm still salty I gave them money. Oh boy, the things I could do with that fifty bones instead...
WoW should also be on this list. I didn't think they could make it any easier and I was wrong. R.I.P Vanilla WoW. The days WoW was a great game are over. It was decently challenging. Now its catered to 4 year olds. Cataclysm made it worse. Sad I played for 5 years hoping it would get better. Games are supposed to challenge you. Not be for the brainless and lazy.
I was about to write a troll-post saying "Where can I vote 'all of the above'?".
Then I noticed there's really an option for that. This poll certainly doesn't disappoint!
Hype train -> Reality
I thought FFXIV was by far the biggest disappointment.
At least STO and APB had some fun qualities. FFXIV didn't even have that.
Mortal Online is actually a good game. Buggy, yes. A bit short on sadnbox content as well. But it does provide a different play experience from most of the other MMOs these days.
Hell hath no fury like an MMORPG player scorned.
I had to go with STO as well. The whole year was pretty disappointing but this one caps it off nicely. No other game came even close to disappointing the amount of fans this one did. The Star Trek IP gave them so much to work with and the best they could do was an overly instanced dumbed down spacebar mashin' shooter. This game was just CO with a shiney Star Trek paint job (Another one of their failed games).
"Mr. Sulu, more spacebar!!! MORE SPACEBAR!!!" lol
"Star Trek Online
Gene Roddenberry created a phenomenon in 1966. Scores of devoted fans, known as Trekkers, roam the globe speaking the gospel of Kirk, Picard... and the others, I suppose. So why did Star Trek Online underperform? Maybe it was trying to do too much with epic space battles and land elements. Maybe it didn't pull either element off as well as it should have."
Or maybe, just MAYBE, it was the fact that Cryptic decided to make an MMO of one of the most loved IPs in only 18 months and price it higher than any other MMO released... Makes no sense.
I had alot more fun in the short time playing Mortal than I did STO. There was nothing positive about that game except that the first 10 minutes of space combat was pretty fun.
If WoW = The Beatles
and WAR = Led Zeppelin
Then LotrO = Pink Floyd
2010 in general indeed. All of this years new games were just "okay" for me, but none of them were good enough to fork out chash for. Vindictus was for me the best this year had to offer. And while I see myself playing it for some time, just not all the time, still don't see myself forking out any cash for it any time soon either.
Too bad RIFT isn't out yet, as to me, it too deserves to be on this list, as it is nothing more then a blantant WoW & Warhammer clone. I'll probably be voting for it on this list next year...
Every time I think about Sto I start to well up............/sob........I was...../wiping tear......So excited.......I mean, what kind of a mental do you have to be to mess up Star Trek? All I want to say to cryptic here is "To the last, I will grapple with thee... from Hell's heart, I stab at thee! For hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee"
So in the end I voted for A.P.B.........Just kidding, it was Star Trek online........ Cryptic you bunch of Fu%&ing Idiots!:)
The whole year was a disappointment; all of the games on the lsit failed miserably. STO was a joke, in the normal vein of Craptic. APB after the initial hype that disappeared closer to release was a major brain fart. FF14 couldn't have released any worse. LOTRO suffered for a long awaited expansion. WOW took too long to release such a limited expansion; reskinning zones and adding 5 levels shouldn't have taken two years. EVE suffered through a lot of missteps with their sovereignty mechanics. Not sure how I could vote for anything other than the entire year being a dissapointment.
Especially with 2011 looking very promising. Rift, Incarna, SWTOR, Tera (although I am not looking forward to this), FE's combat/PVP upgrades, STO mnaking improvements, Darkfall amking improvements and so much more.
Gaming since Avalon Hill was making board games.
Played SWG, EVE, Fallen Earth, LOTRO, Rift, Vanguard, WoW, SWTOR, TSW, Tera
Tried Aoc, Aion, EQII, RoM, Vindictus, Darkfail, DDO, GW, PotBS
Tempted as I was to go for all of 2010, I think Final Fantasy XIV took the cake - as far as SE being warned and warned and warned again through beta, and then having to eat crow with constant free time added since launch. Very embarrassing for a AAA company.
FFXIV , was hoping for so much more...
I think STO was the biggest. It was not bad enough that the game launched with a lack of content and the worst crafting system but then Cryptic had to be greedy dorks and charge you for the box, then a premium monthly sub and then another ten bucks to fly the ship you wanted. Cryptic slapped fans in the face by offering more game time to new players and making the exclusive items that many people worked hard for turn up in the c-store a short time later. I understand a lot of these games listed are bad, but for the total package in suckage, STO takes the cake
Who could have thought that WOW could bring super power like USA to its knees?

Im picking on WoW btw because its the beast that made all of this possible
A total dissapointment in MMORPG gaming for 2010. Developers need to get back to the their roots & start designing games that are magical, creative, innovative, challenging, forward thinking & not a carbon copy of whatever is most popular. We need risk takers and not followers that are passionate about what they are working on and not simply the status quo.
Developers need to focus less on how much money they can make, instead; create the best product, in turn they would make more money with a loyal fan base. As it stands now, developers are creating half-ass games & it shows.
I'm hopeful for 2011 with GW2, Tera Online, Rift, or SWTOR.
Wishful thinking........DAOC 2 announcement in the next yr or two.

The Miracle of the $18,000 Rusty Pipe
by Dale Harlan
29 February 2012
On rare occasions our Lord works an eye-popping miracle right in front of a crowd—yet no one notices. It's like a full court, Hail Mary, buzzer-beating winning basketball shot, but the crowd is distracted, doesn't see it, and doesn't know to cheer wildly. So it was in Kauca where the township had been without water for four years.
For days we labored at retrieving the bailer using a wide variety of "fishing" tools. Amazingly, the Kauca community stayed calm, sure that Ingeniero Diego (me) would soon work something out. But after the first month, I wasn't calm.
I tossed and turned and hardly slept at night. After the second month, I had exhausted every bit of my technical savvy and there just was no way left to get it out of that very deep dark hole. With just five days left until we departed Bolivia, time had run out. I dreaded having to tell this poor community that their irreplaceable $18,000 well would have to be abandoned.
We arranged a final Kauca meeting. Just before the meeting I thought to try one of our tools again. No dice. Still stuck.
And then the fishing tool faintly clicked.
And up the rusty bailer came! No cheering crowd, but I cried joyful tears! "Happy is he who is gracious to the poor." (Proverbs 14:21) Only I knew that a one-in-a million miraculous event just happened. Yes, the Lord does show Himself Mighty to those who serve, exhaust their own resources, and get themselves into a really, really tight jam.

The Sextett sounds pretty good too!
Well, the Sextett look more simple that what i used to think, when i looked to the design of it, for me, each one of the sextett was alto an active but smaller driver, but they are only passive, what an interesting idea for the time, why AKG stopped using it on the modern drivers? look like it could bring some benefits even today.
Now there are 3 headphones from aka that i have to listen: the AKG K701, The K1000 and now the K240 Sextett
Money. It was a rather expensive technique.
See also this post: http://www.head-fi.org/t/276791/what-exactly-is-the-akg-k240-sextett#post_3534447
That whole thread is very informative.

See also this post: http://www.head-fi.org/t/276791/what-exactly-is-the-akg-k240-sextett#post_3534447
That whole thread is very informative.
i've read this part, but they could use it on their flagship models and them find a way to produce it with lower costs and later use this design on cheaper models, now the technology is way more advanced, i'm sure they could produce it with 10 time lower the original costs back on the 70's or even more.
A Sextett and a Bottlehead Crack were my go-to pairing for the longest time (until I went to the darkside with orthos...).
More information on the Sextett and a review:
Fitz didn't care much for the Pro 50 nor the K 250, certainly not enough to spend time comparing them to anything.
The Pro 50, which predate the K 250 by a few years, have the Sextett radiators which are not found on the K 250. The K 250 have the DF baffle design and sound signature, in the main.
The picture of the K 250 you showed isn't a K 250 at all.
Seems I stand corrected... Thx vid.
K702's and K550's here.
I own the K240 Studio, my father owns the original K140 from the 70s, and I've tried a K271 and preferred it to the K240.
K612 Pro here. Soon to have the K712 Pro in my hands. Probably will get my old K240 MKII back some time as well.
The K612 Pro is a very nice headphone, but the K712 Pro seems to be even better yet, i must say i like the sound signature of AKG.
Me me,,,K141M and just waiting for k240 sextett.....good to go.

The Suburbs
In spite of more Americans now being suburbanites than city residents, there is very little written on suburbs. In terms of overall analysis (rather than single case studies) there are only a handful of urban histories of nineteenth century suburbs, and most of those were written over a decade ago. John Palen's new text, The Suburbs,, revolutionizes and facilitates the discussion of modern suburbs. It is the most up-to-date, comprehensive overview available of contemporary suburbia and its history. It contains data through the 1990 Census, and is also the only volume to detail and discuss the dramatic increases in African-American, Asian, and Hispanic suburbanization. Additionally, The Suburbs,, tackles such topics as the myths regarding women and families in the suburbs, the malling of America, and planned utopian communities.

Neil Hamburger's Advice to the Youth of Tempe in Video
Neil Hamburger has been referred to as "America's Funnyman," "the world's 'worst' stand-up comedian," and as having a sense of humor "drier than the Sahara." Full of awkward moments, the anti-comedian alter ego of Gregg Turkington (who did, in fact, live in Tempe for some time) comes up with awful one-liners that make fun of celebrity personalities at every opportunity. His distinctly old-man mannerisms -- clearing his throat incessantly and drinking like a fish, in combination with his over greased comb-over and horribly cheesy tuxes -- make him either hysterical or just plain pathetic. You either love him or you hate him. Or better yet, you love to hate him.
Moments before last Saturday's show at Yucca Tap Room, Hamburger took a few moments to lure New Times into Yucca's storage room to discuss his preferred cocktails, cornbread, and advice for the youth of Tempe.
Catch a video recording of the interview after the jump.

Thanks for helping!
This place looks like a dump, but the food and service were very good. If you are looking for pizza in Kayenta, this is the place to go to.
We walked in. Smelt the air and had to leave. Quickly.
Not sure if the pizza was any good, we didn't order any.
The place smelt like really really old cooking oil. It was pungent and really unpleasant. We had to leave. So we didn't order anything.
Go to the supermarket and buy something there instead.
Had the veggie pizza and it was delicious! Very fresh vegetables and lots of cheese. Highly recommend if you're in the mood for pizza.
If a pepperoni pizza medium is 6,99 and extra toppings are 1$ each and you add two... Then the price is 12,99$ and no discussion changes that. Rip off.
Btw, the pizza is of mediocre quality.
Read reviews and options are very limited in this area. Good choice. Kids loved the pepperoni pizza, even ordered one to go to eat later. Shared a buffalo chicken pizza which matched some of the best I have had. Salad bar was surprising for such a small local. Very good selection of veggies, pepperoni, and mixed lettuce and spinach. Salad...
I always love coming here if we're feeling up for the drive from Monument Valley and we're always satisfied with our meal. The customer service is also always friendly.
You would definitely pass this by if you saw it, but don't be fooled-the pizza was outstanding here. We were sorry we didn't order a larger size so that we could've taken some along with us. The prices are reasonable, and as an added bonus is they have ice cream for dessert
The Amigo was closed for some reason. Pleasantly surprised at tasty pizza. Pricing is strange with two small pizzas costing $10 but one medium which is no larger costing $13.
Not many choices for dining in the area. Pizza Edge was close to our hotel. Staff was friendly and the pizza was good.
Excellent pizza; We ate here 2 times. Great value for money if you don't want to eat at the usual fastfood.
It's a must if you visit kayenta!

Concentrations of PM2.5, fine air particulates that pose the greatest health risk, rose to 297 micrograms per cubic metre at 12pm near Tiananmen Square from an average of 195 in the past 24 hours, Beijing Municipal Environmental Monitoring Centre reported. The rating is the second-worst behind "severely polluted".
The US Embassy also graded air quality in Beijing as "hazardous," reporting its reading of PM2.5 at 344 micrograms per cubic metre at 12pm. The airborne pollutants, which are smaller than 2.5 micrometres in diameter, can penetrate deep into lungs and enter the blood stream. The World Health Organisation recommends average 24-hour exposures of less than 25.
Pollution in Beijing rose to a record on January 12 with PM2.5 surging as high as 993, sparking criticism of the government's environmental management. The capital's daily average last month, of 196, was similar to that in an airport smoking lounge. Vice-Premier Li Keqiang called for patience as authorities work to reduce emissions.
Sales of fireworks in Beijing have fallen significantly during the current Lunar New Year holiday as residents exercised restraint to help ward off smog, Xinhua News Agency reported on February 10, citing Zhou Zhengyu, deputy secretary-general of the municipal government.
The level of PM2.5 as measured by the US Consulate in Shanghai was 79 at 12pm and air quality was "unhealthy," according to a post on the consulate's Twitter feed. Haze reappeared yesterday in some eastern regions, reducing visibly to less than 1 kilometre, the China Meteorological Administration said.
