Lower your texture resolution in Options menu. It works.
P.S. Nice ending tho, but the game is way too short...
An a very awesome ending well worth the hastle.
perhaps your 'version' of the game has problems-
AMD 64 Duel Core(runs at 3.4)
12 GB ram
2 Radeon HD 4800 X2 linked(8 GB GPU total)
Windows 7 Ultima
Also i've updated my game the best I found so far, forgot what Ver. i am on but every sense I patched the game the crashes happen more and more for some reason. I tryed it with out the trainer and still crashes, anyone have any ideas?

Hina Panchal shocked everyone on India's Got Talent last weekend, as she appeared on stage looking exactly like judge Malaika Arora Khan! Yes the pretty dopelganger to the hot and sexy judge, Malaika not only resembled her, but also replicated her moves on stage, leaving Karan and Kirron puzzled! Now can you spot who the real Munni is?

Bobby Valentine is doing his best to end the season on a positive note.
posted by feloniousmonk at 07:36 PM on September 14
God, what a mistake it was hiring that guy; I'll be devastated if for some inexplicable reason he's not fired as soon as the post-season is over.
His sole reason for existence was to replace Tito's ability to keep the veteran players/stars in line and productive (when they and the team ungraciously ran him out of town on a rail). However, since he was a complete and total clusterfuck in that regard, and since the front office has signaled that they're going to try to return to the kind of statistical, Bill Jamesian analysis that got them two World Series rings... a retrograde nitwit like Valentine has no place on a youthful rebuilding team in 2013. He honestly has no place on any major league team, but for some reason every few years some suckers give the guy a contract...

1-2 For Parkes And Salom In Motorland Qualifying
June 18, 2011
WSS, Motorland Aragon, Spain, 18 June 2011 - Championship leader Broc Parkes and his team-mate David Salom dominated qualifying at Aragon, with Parkes setting a new best lap of 2'02.093 and Salom finishing close behind on his own Ninja ZX-6R.
The Provec Motocard.com team used the knowledge gained from a relatively recent test at Aragon to be in the leading mix from the very first session this weekend, with Parkes riding a wave of confidence that delivered him a first pole position in partnership with Kawasaki, and the 12th pole of his career. Broc has fallen twice in qualifying but his self-confidence and smart teamwork in the pits mean that he recovered from each with no harm done and he is fully prepared for Sunday's 18-lap race. Broc is confident in his pace in both race and qualifying trim as he goes for back-to-back wins.
Had Parks not been baulked in the final qualifying session, he may have set a time under the 2'02 barrier, such was his ability to deal with the blind corner entries and changes of elevation, as well as variations in track temperatures at this circuit new to the championship itself.
The only close challenge Broc had after two qualifying sessions came from his team-mate David, who was second in qualifying at his 'new' home track. Salom ended up only 0.361 seconds from Broc, and 0.254 seconds ahead of third placed qualifier, Sam Lowes.
Lorenzini by Leoni Kawasaki rider Massimo Roccoli also had a strong qualifying performance, going sixth on the grid, starting the race from the second row. Vittorio Iannuzzo (Lorenzini by Leoni Kawasaki) was also in the right half of the qualifying rankings, 13th from 29 riders.
Broc Parkes: "We had a little bit in the bag, I think, and we were always going to put on that last new tyre. I had a couple of downs this weekend so I did not want to use the last tyre too early in the final session. Even on my best lap I had a little bit of traffic at the end so maybe we could have made a 2'01 lap time. Anyway, I am really happy to have pole and it's the first one for Kawasaki and I together. I really enjoyed winning the pole but most of all we need to be there for the win tomorrow. The pace looks good for us but the race is 18-laps long, it is going to be hot, so it is will be another challenge tomorrow. There is one choice of rear tyre for all of us, I think. It is working pretty good and we think it is going to go the distance. Things look OK after qualifying."
David Salom: "Very good! I am very happy for the team with two riders in the first two positions. I think for tomorrow it will be a good race for us. The bike has been working well and we have a strong race pace. Our consistency has been the way we wanted it. I think we will all be using the same rear tyre as the rest and the team has done a great job during our tests here and then again in qualifying. It is also nice to be racing in Spain this weekend."

Since its inception, there has always been a base level of friction within the Linux community.
For the most part, this friction has led to new ideas that have provided ease of use and in some instances, improved functionality. Distros such as Ubuntu best showcase this example, despite the grief it gets from parts of the Linux community. Digging deeper beyond the surface, however, some of this friction has proven to be more divisive than productive.
One of the most divisive situations I've seen in the Linux space is how proprietary code within the Linux space is viewed. For someone like Richard Stallman, there is no debate. His view is that Linux (or GNU/Linux) must be free of any proprietary code and anything that is misaligned with the GNU philosophy.
On the opposite side, Linus Torvalds believes in the "best tool for the job" philosophy. Linus points out that his desire to use open source software comes from his need to sometimes tweak an application to better suit his needs. Linus cares about the end result of the software provided, whereas Richard cares about the perceived ethics of software. Sometimes this leads to the two men using the same tools, yet they are using them for very different reasons.
Where does this leave the casual user? While this point will undoubtedly be disputed, I believe most people use Linux on the desktop for reasons closer to what Linus finds to be worthwhile. Yes, there are ample folks who feel the same way as Richard Stallman, but in the end, I believe most people see Linux as a layer that enables us to "do stuff" and get work done on our computers. I myself fall into this camp.
In my eyes, both men have made significant contributions to getting an alternative to Microsoft and Apple software to the end users. But in recent years, Linus' contributions appear to be having a far greater impact for those of us looking to simply get stuff done. Richard, by contrast, contributes these days by sharing his vision as to the dangers of relying on anything to do with DRM and proprietary software.
As to whose contribution is more important? That's a question that can't be answered for everyone in the Linux community as a whole. But instead, something that would require each one of us to reflect on at a personal level.
Over the past few years, the debate has largely grown around practical areas surrounding the Linux desktop. One of my personal favorites is whether or not PulseAudio was a good idea or even needed.
Most people I have spoken to on the matter dislike it and claim it doesn't work right. Others still, myself included, have found it to be rock-solid stable in its recent releases and prefer the granular sound card control it provides. Going further, I have experienced nothing but success using multiple devices with PulseAudio. With it, I can finally enjoy diverse audio destination options to the devices of my choosing, without opening up a text editor.
To be fair, I have seen first hand how others have had legitimate problems using the PulseAudio server. So I would be remiss if I didn't address this head on. There have been instances where PulseAudio fails to capture, say, a line-in device despite showing up correctly under the ALSA mixer. Honestly, most of the time this is a toggle on/off issue that is left to something not GUI-based to trigger.
Does stuff like this fall directly onto PulseAudio? If you've been struggling with it for hours, I can see how it might feel that way. But in reality, PulseAudio remains the king for advanced audio routing. That's not just my opinion, it's based on years of recording, playing and enjoying audio on my Linux boxes.
The next Linux debate involves video and, more specifically, video drivers. To date, there are still those who believe that open source video drivers are good enough for most purposes. Excluding gaming, I would whole heartily agree that most PCs will run Linux applications just fine using open source video drivers.
Where things in this space begin to break down is when we talk about gaming. Factually, proprietary video drivers outshine those of the open source variety in providing a vastly superior level of video game performance. In years past, this wasn't really a big deal until Linux gaming received a serious shot in the arm from the Valve Corporation. Once Valve brought Steam onto the Linux platform, an already heated debate about Linux gaming became a whole lot louder.
My view of this issue is this: if you don't play video games under Linux, you're free to use the open source video driver without issue. On my writing rig, I'm connected to a dual monitors and happen to be using the AMD compatible open source driver. Thanks to my desktop environment's display configuration GUI, I was able to do this quite easily.

text: Raise you hand if you have been bummed out all day after finding out that Bonny's would be closing this weekend. Quite frankly, I haven't been this sad about a bar closing since Sonotheque. Bars and restaurants close all the time in Chicago, but when it's one that you frequent, it hits you in the gut. I have danced at Bonny's to the point where I sweated through my shoes. I've made out in the bathroom. I've watched a lot of women wait ridiculously long amounts of time to use the bathroom because like 4 girls were in there at once doing God knows what. (What's the deal with that, by the way? Is it a cocaine thing?) Last night, I even DJ'ed there. The bartender and a small group of us talked about well whiskey and how sometimes it's better than the expensive stuff. Then a guy bought me a shot of Malort and I danced to Ginuwine. I love that damn place.

Animal Sacrifices
Religious Perspectives on the Use of Animals in Science
Publication: May 88
Publication: Jun 86
Ebook: $30.95
288 pages
The issues of animal rights and the use of animals in scientific experimentation are fraught with controversy. In an effort to define the bases of such strong emotional response towards an ethical issue, this book presents the teachings of the major religions of the world concerning animals and, more specifically, their use in science. Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, and Confucianism are represented in this collection of eight essays by religious authorities.
Scriptural writings, written and oral tradition, law, religious parables, and even folklore are used to illustrate the position of each religion on this question. When there are no specific teachings regarding the relatively recent use of animals in scientific research, conclusions are derived from the view of man's relations with the rest of the world.
In addition to the essays dealing with specific religions, there is also a chapter detailing recent uses of animals in scientific research throughout the world. It is estimated that 500 million animals a year are sacrificed to science. This volume attempts to find out for what purposes they are used, under what conditions, and with what legal protection.
Based on a conference which explored the views of religion toward scientific experimentation on animals, this collection of essays addresses an explosive issue from a number of different perspectives. Animal Sacrifices is a fair-minded and informative discussion of a contemporary ethical dilemma.

Before the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing I read about various things being done for the sponsors and I was horrified. For example, the athletes couldn't bring their own food and beverages into the Olympic Village. To make things even worse, the sponsors were McDonald's and Coca-Cola, who offer so much unhealthy food and beverages. It all seems so out of touch with ideas that are supposedly associated with the Olympics.
It seems that the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver will be just as bad if not worse. They've already trademarked lines from the Canadian National Anthem and passed a law protecting various phrases which cannot be trademarked, such as 2010 along with winter. Oh, and guess what: Coke and McDonald's are sponsors again.
Ideally this corporate pageant needs to end, and a new organization needs to take over. I'm not counting on it though.

Outspoken rapper Kanye West showed off his kinder side over the Thanksgiving holiday by giving away concert tickets to a group of unsuspecting fans.
The Stronger hitmaker was enjoying a post-Thanksgiving Day meal in Miami, Florida on Friday (29Nov13) with his fiancee Kim Kardashian when he stopped to talk to a group of fans.
West then handed out tickets to his Yeezus show at the American Airlines Arena later that evening.
A source tells New York Post gossip column Page Six, "Before sitting down, he stopped to pose with fans. He seemed in great spirits and halfway through dinner he... surprised another group of fans with tickets to the Yeezus Tour."

Company news: Biogen-Idec, Bristol-Myers Squibb and Pfizer
Biogen-Idec is submitting its multiple sclerosis drug BG-12 for formal FDA scrutiny. The oral treatment is intended for relapsing-emitting MS. The company is also setting the twice- or three-times daily drug before the European Medicines Agency over the next few days. If approved, it would be Biogen's third entry into the space -- the drugmaker also markets Avonex and Tysabri. BG-12 would be only the second of the nine available therapies that is not an injection or an infusion, after Novartis' Gilenya. "There is still a significant unmet need for new and innovative therapies that target the disease in different ways," Biogen president of R&D Douglas Williams, PhD., said in a statement.
The FDA is being hush-hush about its agenda for an upcoming meeting of its Cardiovascular and Renal Drugs Advisory Committee, set for May 23, but the Sanford Bernstein analyst Tim Anderson, MD, has a strong suspicion that Bristol-Myers Squibb/Pfizer's Eliquis will be discussed. If so, predicted Anderson, this could suggest a delay in the approval of Eliquis beyond its current March 28th PDUFA. That's despite the agency's having granted the investigational drug, which many expect will become the front-frunner in the new crop of blood thinners, six-month priority review status. "Our best guess remains that FDA may be seeking cover," Anderson wrote in an investor note today, given safety issues with Boehringer Ingelheim's Pradaxa, a related drug approved in 2010. Product labeling and claims could also be up for discussion. At any rate, a small delay shouldn't hurt Eliquis' commercial prospects much. Anderson predicts sales of $395M in 2012, ramping to $2.5B in 2015 and $3.7B by 2020.

The next meeting of the Suwannee River Garden Club will be held Monday, Sept. 27, at 7 p.m.
William Brown stood up at Tuesday's Levy County Commission meeting, and by the time he yielded the floor he had three accomplishments to his book.
Brown, co-founder of The Children's Table, first introduced the commission to Tyler Beauchamp, son of Mickey and Cheryl Beauchamp, of Bronson.
Young Beauchamp is a member of the Future Farmers of America and as a project planted and harvested seven acres of peas for Children's Table to be distributed to feed families in need. Brown presented Beauchamp with a plaque honoring his gift.
Farm Credit of North Florida, Farm Credit of Southwest Florida and Farm Credit of South Florida are pursuing a merger.
The associations have signed onto a Letter of Intent to Merge — the initial step in collecting, analyzing and providing information regarding the merger's advantages and disadvantages.
Farm Credit's cooperative structure allows its' members to have the final vote of approval through a proxy mail voting process.
Nancy Bell, the incumbent County Commissioner for District 2, has announced her candidacy for re-election as a Democrat in the Nov. 2 general election. Bell has been chair of the Levy County Board of County Commissioners since November 2008 and was re-elected in 2009 and 2010.
In her announcement, Bell said:
I pride myself on my integrity and I strive to always do the right thing when representing the residents of my county. For years, I have voted to keep your taxes low by fighting for fiscal responsibility through prudent spending of your tax dollars.
Levy County's unemployment rate for August nudged up to 13.6 percent, meaning 2,227 residents were out of work out of a workforce of 16,399 people. That's up from from 2,190 in July, when there were 16,322 people in the county's workforce.
But the county is not alone as Workforce Connection reported that the Levy-Citrus-Marion counties area it serves posted a 14.2 percent unemployment rate, up .3 percent from July and a full percentage point higher than the same time last year.
The Print Shop and Southeastern Integrated Medicine were named the "Business of the Year" by the Greater Chiefland Chamber of Commerce during the group's annual banquet Tuesday evening at Tommy Usher Community Center.
The Chamber annually honors a business during the state' Industry Apprciation Week, but this year the group's Board of Directors decided to honor two businesses this year. Nominations were solicited from the community.
County employees will go a fourth year without a pay increase under a budget approved last week by the Levy County Board of Commissioners.
The commission voted 2-3 on a motion to grant the pay raise by Commissioner Danny Stevens of Williston and seconded by Commissioner Lilly Rooks of Rosewood during an evening meeting on Thursday, Sept. 9, that was attended by about 25 county workers and their spouses.
Dissenting in the vote were Commission Chair Nancy Bell of Chiefland, Commissioner Chad Johnson of Chiefland and Commissioner Marsha Drew of Yankeetown.
Chiefland Mayor Teal Pomeroy says he's always been proud of the city's low water rates. They haven't been adjusted in seven years.
"Outsiders have come in and said, 'Oh, you have to raise your rates,' " Pomeroy said at Monday night's commission meeting. He said his response has always been, "Well, no we don't."
The School Board of Levy County unanimously voted on Tuesday to change the language of the school district's contract with the Levy County Education Association, altering it so that automatic salary step increases for teachers and employees will now be negotiated annually.
Both sides argued their cases before the board during an impasse hearing at the School Board's offices in Bronson. The decision alters an agreement that has been in place for 30 years in the school district.
Visitation is from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 10, for Pfc. James Anthony Page, killed during a roadside attack on Aug. 31 in Logar Providence, Afghanistan. He was one of four to die in the attack, according to the U.S. Department of Defense.

Technology has been moving at a fast pace and many companies have come up with new inventions and ideas that have changed the way people interact with their environment. One of the innovations that have changed the technological landscapes is the introduction of internet of thing.
Jason Hope, a renowned futurist and technologist who has been spending his time reviewing different technologies, offered his opinions and reviews regarding the development of internet of things and other technologies. He explains that internet of things will make the future of the tech industry interesting and could define how people will be managing their environment in the near future.

Internet of things offers one the capability of connecting several devices together and allowing them to use the internet to perform various functions. Many homes today are connected through a system that allows the homeowner to control functions like lighting from remote locations. Cars can also be connected to mobile devices and without necessarily moving close to the car, one can make several changes using a mobile device. This also applies to home security systems and appliances that can be connected with other devices using the internet.
Supporting innovation
Apart from taking part in the development of new technologies, Jason Hope has also been offering insight into the growth and development of innovation. He runs a facility that incubates young entrepreneurs who prove to have great ideas. These entrepreneurs are allowed to submit ideas, which are reviewed by a panel and those that pass are adopted to receive support from experts.
Most importantly, Jason Hope has been supporting the growth of bodies that support humanity and those in marginalized regions. He has joined several philanthropic foundations that extend a hand of support to the needy in different regions. This is a role he feels inspired to pursue as a successful entrepreneur.

My obsession with tablets started long before I ever owned one. Now, though, I have been through more tablets than I care to admit – more than anyone else I know. I've lost count, but I do know the number is well into the double digits. The very first one I owned was an Archos 5 Android tablet. I graduated from it to the iPad after it launched, then back to a slew of different Android tablets, the TouchPad and I will eventually give Windows 8 tablets a whirl.
Just over a week ago, I finally decided to sell my Galaxy Tab 10.1, which I had bought sometime last summer while it was on sale. In my time with it, the Galaxy Tab served me well. But in anticipation for newer tablets at Mobile World Congress, I decided it was best to part with it. I was able to let a good friend of mine (who had been in the market for a tablet for a while) have it for a good price. It was a win-win, I suppose.
However, after parting with the Tab, I began to remember just how much I actually used my tablet from day to day. My tablet usage is sort of like a roller coaster, to be honest. But there are things that I use my tablet for exclusively, like Gmail and Google Reader. I use it for a lot of productivity apps and for casual browsing after I'm done working.
Once it was gone, though, I realized that I needed something to take its place. So I took it upon myself to load my dust-covered Kindle Fire with Ice Cream Sandwich – something that was long overdue. It only took about 15 minutes, but it didn't take long for me to realized that it wasn't going to do the trick. Typing on it, albeit better than the stock Kindle Fire software, was a chore. It was uncomfortable to use and dare I say ... too small.
I had been on the fence about the Transformer Prime since long before it launched in December. I pre-ordered the original Eee Pad Transformer and loved every second of owning that tablet and I never should have sold it. But my mother was dying for something to replace her XOOM (she's almost as bad as I am when it comes to tablets) and nagging me over the Transformer since they were virtually impossible to come by. So I figured I would be a nice son and sell it to her. (Now she's asking me to offload that tablet.) But I digress.
All of the local Best Buys had been sold out of the Prime for weeks due to ASUS' stock issues. But I had read a headline somewhere stating that Primes were slowly returning to stock at several retail locations. I decided to test the waters and see if I could find one in stock. Long story short, after about 10 minutes of waiting and several workers telling me they had the tablet but no keyboards, I slapped seven big ones down and walked out with both the Transformer Prime and the keyboard dock.
I have been using it almost religiously ever since.
I hear a lot of people saying that keyboards defeat the purpose of tablets. I strongly disagree. The keyboard dock for the Prime is what makes it so versatile. I have actually typed most of the articles that I have written in the past week from my Prime. And there's no turning back now. I don't want a tablet without a similar keyboard attachment again.
With my first iPad I had bought a ZAGGmate, which is a Bluetooth keyboard for the iPad that doubles as a case. And with the Galaxy Tab, I used a Microsoft Bluetooth keyboard for typing. While both of these options worked as intended and were very functional, they were not quite as integrated as the keyboard dock for the Prime. And, of course, Samsung has an optional keyboard dock for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 that can be purchased separately, but it's hardly as svelte or as functional as ASUS' option for their Transformers. Not to mention, our own Evan Selleck had a bad experience with the Samsung dock – it bricked his Galaxy Tab. Needless to say, I was always wary of that one.
But ASUS' keyboard dock for their Transformer models is about as integrated and slick as it can possibly get. It's not just a keyboard for a tablet. It actually makes the tablet feel and operate like a netbook ... only much better than any netbook I've ever used without the full desktop functionality.
It's difficult to explain the tiny differences between using the dock for the Prime versus just any ol' Bluetooth keyboard option. They're minute, really. For instance, when using a Bluetooth keyboard, the keyboard will sleep after several minutes of inactivity to preserve battery life. When you want to resume, you have to wait a couple seconds for the two devices to establish the connection again. With a dock, the keyboard acts as if it is part of the machine – there is no latency between powering on the device and using the keyboard. And instead of carrying two devices separately (or in the case of the ZAGGmate, popping the tablet out of the case part, flipping it around and propping up the stand), you can simply open the lid and the two are ready to be used. Likewise, closing the lid and stowing the tablet is just as quick and easy.
On top of that, you have other benefits like additional ports – a full SD card slot and a USB port – and extended battery life. The trackpad doesn't hold a candle to that of, say, my MacBook Air's trackpad. But a USB wireless mouse does the trick quite well.
None of this is to say that I will never buy a non-ASUS tablet again, or that I will never buy a tablet without a keyboard dock again. That said, it will take some serious convincing to make me let go of my Transformer this time around. And after MWC, it doesn't look like any other manufacturers are doing anything particularly groundbreaking with tablets anytime soon, unless you want to consider Samsung's S Pen groundbreaking. But I guess we'll have to wait and see what Apple has to say about their latest iPad, which will be announced this Wednesday, before we can say that for sure.
What say you, tablet owners? Have you used a keyboard with your tablet before? How did you like it? Have you compared it to a Transformer with the keyboard dock? Better yet, if you've owned a Transformer, how do you feel it compares to the other options out there? Could you do without a keyboard dock?

Ten Second Review
Volkswagen's Transporter T6 panel van continues to be a quality and cost-effective offering in the medium range LCV sector thanks to a wide range of common-rail diesel engines and a tangible boost to its safety specification. The interior remains one of the most polished in the panel van class and the wide range of body options should keep most operators happy.
This is the sixth generation T6 version of Volkswagen's Transporter, a medium-sized panel van that sits in the Wolfsburg maker's van range above the compact Caddy but below the substantial Crafter. Throughout all its incarnations, this vehicle has managed to remain simple, effective and well suited to the needs of its operators. There's quite a bit of competition around for the Transporter from models including the Citroen Dispatch, the Vauxhall Vivaro, the Ford Transit Custom, the Mercedes Vito and the Renault Trafic but Volkswagen will be hoping that a vast model range, some clever engine technology and a detailed specification will carry the latest version to glory.
Driving Experience
The Transporter engine range consists of four 2.0-litre TDI Euro6 engines with outputs of 84PS, 102PS, 150PS and 204PS. All 84PS and 102PS engines are fitted with a five-speed manual gearbox as standard, with 150PS and 204PS units equipped with either a six-speed transmission as standard or a seven-speed DSG automatic. So far so good, but what's it actually like to drive? Well 'quietly efficient' probably sums it up. The 'quiet' bit's significant: Volkswagen reckons that drivers used to rival vans will find this one to be much quieter, which'll make a lot of difference after a hard day at the wheel. And efficient? Well, let me put forward the braking system as an example. It features ABS of course, with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution and Electronic Braking Control to maximise its effectiveness and as soon as you use it in anger, the brake lights flash rapidly to alert following vehicles. Once you've screeched to a stop, the hazard warning lights come on automatically. Neat. The Transporter's traditionally precise handling remains, with plenty of feedback through the redesigned steering, a slick gearchange and a Germanically firm but by no means unpleasant ride. It's manoeuvrable too, for such a big vehicle.
Design and Build
The current Transporter looks a sharper proposition than its T5 predecessor - but not by much. In keeping with tradition, this T6 model offers a range of body options and gross vehicle weights to suit the needs of all operators and drivers. In addition to three roof height options; standard (1,410 mm), medium (1,635mm) and high (1,940mm), this Volkswagen is available with four gross vehicle weights (ranging from 2,600kg to 3,200kg) along with short and long wheelbase options. At the wheel, there are the expected driver and passenger airbags, plus a height and reach-adjustable steering wheel. Sliding across the three-seater cabin is slightly impeded by the way that the gear lever is mounted on a moulding that curves out from the dashboard, but the location does make it easy to use. A design touch we weren't sure about was the way the more aerodynamic outside mirrors house the radio, 'phone and GPS antennae: bashing them, as van drivers tend to do, would be expensive. Still, there are plenty of more thoughtful design features dotted around the cab. Each door, for example, incorporates both upper and lower storage bins, the lower one able to accommodate both a 1.5-litre bottle and an A4 clipboard. On the passenger side, there's a storage box under the seat and, on the side of the facia, a net to hold documents. Pull out the ashtray and you'll find cupholders for your McDonalds breakfast on both sides and there's a shelf for your sunglasses above the windscreen.
Market and Model
As usual, there's a choice of Panel Van or 'Kombi' Crew van variants. Entry-level 'Startline' Panel Van models are priced from around £19,000 (panel van, excluding VAT) and include a host of standard features including BlueMotion Technology, a DAB+ digital radio, a 5-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth phone connectivity and a USB connection. Standard equipment also includes Volkswagen's acclaimed Automatic Post Collision Braking system, which automatically applies the brakes after a collision, reducing the risk of a secondary impact. 'Trendline' models get smarter wheel trims, a full-height steel bulkhead (panel van), body-coloured bumpers and rear parking sensors. A Comfort pack consisting of foldable grab handles on A-pillars, additional storage compartments, dimmable cabin lights and additional noise suppression is also fitted as standard. 'Highline' models top the Transporter range. Here, buyers get a leather multifunction steering wheel, a heated windscreen, an automatic driving light control, daytime running lights and 16-inch Clayton alloy wheels. 'Highline' models also come with front fog lights with cornering function and a Thatcham Category 1-approved alarm as standard.

Discussion in 'GBAtemp & Scene News' started by TPi, Jan 27, 2006.
This couldn't possibly be too much fun.
It's not EXTREME!!!!!! enough.
ZOMG! Watch out! I've got a big silly plastic gun that shots blobs of paint. Watch out boxes, you're days are numbered!
It's not just EXTREME, it's MAX'D!!!!
whatever that means
I don't think you'll appreciate until you get it and see why it's 1024MBIT. They start out the game with a lame low quality MPG'ish rap video that is completely unrelated to Paintballing.
Oh, and the 3d.
So is this better than Goldeneye RA?
Of course its better than Goldeneye
can i play this game online? cuz i wanna shoot my balls at people and make them wet & sticky!
GET MAX'D MO FO'S *sPLAt*
these boxes piss me off
Where's my godamn Eyeshield 21 game?
Goody. Let's recreate stag nights and company "team building" days out.
i hear that...that game looks awesome!!!
LOL, I know what you are saying. But seriously have any of you guys played real paintball?
It ain't as pussy as some of you are making out, that shit farking hurts, when me and my mates played in the bush near my town I ended up with round bruises all over my body, and damn if it didn't hurt for like a week later!
Ignoring all that, this game without playing it = poo.
Nobody is ignoring the game, we are just making fun of the title, and our current culture of overusing the word "extreme" in every little thing, like "XTREME KNITTING KIT" or some sorta variant, and the word "max'd" is just pushing it in my opinion.
Speaking of the retarded title, who the hell is Greg Hastings? lol
This game is nowhere as good as golden eye, and goldeneye really sucks. It's just the same as normal gba games that tried to use 3d, and it's way too choppy to even call good.
Greg Hastings must be a real horror for all the heretic barrels
This is WHACKX'd to the MAX'd!
Bah. Barrels? Dye boomsticks are the best.
Arson Stealths are okay.
Hee, who am I kidding, with my BL intimidator, who needs another barrel .
Better than my friends angel which actually exploded in his hand .
AND BETTER THAN THAT DAMNABLE AUTOCOCKER!!!!!! (ugh, I almost lost all reproductive functions because of that gun, not to mention almost half of my face was severely bruised, damned expensive cheap-ass guns)
EDIT: Is this game only speedball, b/c speedball gets really old, really ummm... speedy.

This week on MILF Hunter, we had on Angel Allwood who was thick and thirsty. This lady was as bad as they come. She had it in all the right places. Angel was beautiful, had a big pair of tits and a great round ass. Levi spotted her while he was out cruising. He saw her at the bus stop and had to pull over to talk to this gorgeous blonde. He found out she was a MILF and her car was being repaired, so she was stuck waiting for the bus. Of course that sealed the deal for Levi, so he offered her a ride. Angel was a real cougar and jumped in the car at the prospect of some cock.
They flirted in the car, and pretty soon, Angel was flashing her big tits and pussy. Levi sucked on them and gave that pussy a rubbing. Back at the house, Angel totally let loose. She stripped butt-naked and sucked his cock like only a true veteran MILF could. Levi got inspired and pounded that sweet mature pussy. Angel had a huge and juicy ass, and she loved to be fucked hard and deep. That proved too much for Levi, so he pulled out and came all over her big MILF tits.

Top 10 Best Resorts in Kodaikanal for a wonderful holiday experience
when ravelers plan a trip to Kodaikanal, they choose to stay in the best resorts for enjoying the holidays. Called as the "Queen of Hill Stations", Kodai is South India's popular hill station only next to Ooty. With hundreds of good resorts located nearby, Kodaikanal offers guests with many options to choose from. Barring the peak season during summer holidays, many good hotels are available at fair prices. The best resorts in Kodaikanal are certainly the ones that are located near the lake where there is much activity day and night.
Kodaikanal sees a lot of guests from other states and hence the best resorts also have staff who can understand both the language and preferences of guests from across the country and the world. Local tourist guides are not to be trusted for booking resorts as they often direct you to the properties that pay hefty commissions. While choosing tourist packages for Kodaikanal by tour operators, always make sure the resorts of hotels offered match your preferences. We have picked top 10 best resorts in kodaikanal as per commonly prefered by most of them READ THIS LIST ONE BY ONE FROM NUMBER 10
Until recently, only a handful of resorts like Carlton and Sterling Holidays provided world class amenities and accommodation. But the increase in tourist spending – thanks to rising income levels, Kodaikanal resorts upgraded their properties with cozy rooms, professionally trained staff and included global cuisines in the food menu.
Hotels near Lake have good views, but barring very few properties, the premium pricing charged is justified by the location while accommodation, amenities and service aren't up to standards. If you choose to look elsewhere, there are numerous good establishments few kilometers away from the lake which offer more value –and available at attractive tariff. During winter, it is advisable to opt for resorts which offer campfire which can be great fun especially if you are travelling in a group.
Resorts near Coakers walk are very comfortable as the lake and Bryant Park are at walking distance –helps to avoid parking headache. Popular among them are Villa Retreat, Club Mahindra – Zest and Kodai resort hotel. Villa retreat is rated as the best in Kodaikanal according to Tripadvisor reviews. Famous for its landscaped and lawns, the nearest attractions include Byrant Park, Coakers walk and Lake. Wall shrubs cover the stone walls of cottages which make the small property look very beautiful. Club Mahindra Coaker's Villa has few well maintained cottages with limited outdoor space. Kodai Resort Hotel right beside Coaker's walk offers honeymoon packages which includes food, stay and guided trips.
Kodaikanal's famous attraction is the large lake –around which the town is built. The Carlton, Sterling's Kodai - By the Lake and Green Lake View resorts are among the best. The Carlton owned and operated by Mumbai based Raheja Group owns a private boat house. Guests can readily avail the boat service instead of waiting for hours in the government (TTDC) boathouse. Green Lake View is a sprawling property located in the less crowded side of the lake. The rooms are average, but the outdoors space is very spacious making it suitable for families with kids. Kodai – By the Lake has beautiful rooms, amenities and serves great food in the restaurant.
For foodies, we recommend JC Residency which serves complimentary buffet two times per day – pick from breakfast, lunch and dinner. Travelers who would love to chill out with some cocktails, wine or beer should opt for resorts with bars. The Carlton has the best bar in Kodaikanal - also the costliest. Le Poshe by Sparsa and Hill County are good resorts with nice in house bars.
Swimming pool is only a good to have amenity in Kodaikanal resorts. Because of the cold weather most of the time, even the best resorts and luxury hotels don't have a swimming pool – though some cheap budget resorts have one. Highland Holiday Homes features a swimming pool with a beautiful hut put at the centre. Guests who are very specific about swimming pool can check out Airbnb which has few listings of private bungalows and plantation estate houses with private pools.
Resorts provide indoor and outdoor games to engage guests during leisure. JC Residency has an artistically decorated kid's game room with a ball pit and many other interesting choices. Sterling Valley view, Club Mahindra and Carlton have fully equipped gymnasium and indoor games like snooker tables, tables tennis and cricket. Travelers who love adventure can opt to stay in farms or retreats amidst plantations in deep forest. Home stays in estates offer a chance to enjoy nature at its best with activities fishing, birding and trekking. Camping in the jungles can help unwind and pop up the funnier side in you with campfire and barbecues.
Kodaikanal is a popular honeymoon destination. Villa retreat Liily's Valley and Le Poshe by Sparsa are preferred choices – Of course, The Carlton comes first if there are no budget constraints. Honeymoon goes well with spa, so prefer to stay in resorts like Hill Country and The Fern Creek. Guests can try Prana Spa if the place you stay doesn't have one. Peak season rates go through the roof and even below average resorts charge double the price during off season.
During peak season, you can consider yourself lucky if you get a 2 nights and 3 days holiday package in a moderate resort for INR 10,000 covering food and accommodation – two adults and 1 kid. The same will cost you about INR 7000 during off season. Luxury resorts and 5 star hotels tariff can cross INR 10,000 per night including taxes.

The Keystone XL pipeline extension, proposed by TransCanada Pipeline to increase capacity of oil from Canada to refining centers on the Gulf Coast, has become a political football over the last several years, a victim of hyperbole and demagoguing, is coming up for a vote on Capitol Hill maybe as early as today. The reason? A runoff election for the US Senate between Democrat Mary Landrieu and Republican challenger US Representative Bill Cassidy, who is so far leading in the polls. Landrieu, an oil industry friendly Democrat, has been fighting for her political life during this midterm election season where Republicans have recently swept both the House and Senate, as well as many state houses and governor's mansions.

Fuel Fix » Statoil may abandon US Arctic drilling leases
Statoil may halt plans to drill in the Chukchi Sea off of northwest Alaska citing the risks and costs. In an interview at CERAWeek yesterday, EVP Tim Dodson said,
"Ultimately, you need more of a collaborative effort," Dodson said in an interview. "I think we all agree that generically, this is not really the place to go it alone. This is the place where you need to be learning from each other (and) where you need to be sharing both experiences and sharing facilities and common costs."
Statoil has decided to watch what happens with the Shell Arctic wells before they make a final decision about letting their leases go.

Black Elk Energy Has History of Violations in the Gulf
Good article by FuelFix about Black Elk Energy's history of dozens of warnings and citations from regulators for its Gulf of Mexico operations.
"Circle of Trust" at BP did not Include the Government
We may know later today what criminal penalties the US government will impose on BP for its tragic blowout and subsequent oil spill that polluted the Gulf Of Mexico in 2010. FuelFix, the energy blog for the Houston Chronicle, and Reuters are reporting that settlement has been reached, and the fine could be the largest in US history rising into the billions. Anonymous sources are also reporting the 2 BP employees may also face manslaughter charges in connection with the deaths that occurred on the rig on April 20, 2010. Read the rest of this entry
Of Ice, Whales, and Lack of Leadership.
Exactly one week ago, Shell triumphantly announced the resumption of drilling in the offshore Arctic after a 20 year hiatus. The drillship Noble Discoverer spud (began drilling) the first new Burger prospect well in the Chukchi Sea; less than 24 hours later, they had to shut down and move 30 miles away to allow for a huge ice floe to move through the area. They've been there ever since, monitoring ice. Read the rest of this entry
A New Approach to Hydraulic Fracturing Safety
The recent boom in domestic oil and gas development, spurred by new technologies in geologic interpretation, horizontal drilling, completion techniques, and hydraulic fracturing, has exposed a huge gap between our knowledge of getting oil and gas out of the ground and our knowledge of the long-term damage to the environment these activities could be causing. When Congress exempted hydraulic fracturing activity from The Safe Drinking Water Act in 2005, the exemption, lobbied for strongly by the industry, came before the proliferation of new drilling brought on by new technologies.

Recent Success and Personal Truth
The truth is, however, that I don't much relish the idea of talking about these sorts of things. I recognize this as a part of what I'm trying to accomplish; blogging, tweeting (@tcpowellfiction), tooting your own horn, it's all part and parcel with the "business end" of writing (and, so far as I can tell, modern society). I can't stop from doing it... and in fact, I recognize that I have to do it more, and better. But if there's any truth to having an "inner nature" (and I suspect so), this goes against mine. I've never had a taste for ceremony or celebration... I didn't attend my junior high graduation, and if I could have skipped the high school or college ones, I would have. But I went for the sake of others, and that's something like what brings me here, now.
It's not that I'm not grateful to those who've assisted me in getting where I have, or don't feel a touch of pride at what I've accomplished. I am and I do. But I always feel like there's more yet to be done and that celebrations are premature. I have so much further to travel, and that awareness seems to temper my ability to enthuse about how far I've come.
Anyways, if you'll forgive me stumbling my way through this process, and my awkward attempts to let you know who I am and what I've done, I'd appreciate it. In return, I'll do what I can to become a better writer and a better spokesperson for myself.
For today, I'll announce that I remain a "Writer of the Future... of the future," but that I'm one step closer to achieving a goal I'd set for myself years ago.
And that's not so bad.

T.C., congrats on the finalist nod! Sorry to hear you weren't able to bring it home - this quarter.ReplyDelete
I know how that feels. I know how that feels. (Yup, I said it twice.) In fact, I've created an exclusive club (Forum) where others like us get together and chat about writing and WotF and having not-won.
I'm happy to invite you to join us other non-winners. Finalists all, but I don't know how to do it without sounding like I'm spamming. So I'll leave this comment at this: If you would like to meet and bum around with other finalists who know what that second call feels like, leave a post on my blog: https://dustinadams.wordpress.com/
And I'll re-contact you with the password. (The forum is private, not public.)
Either way, congrats on finalist!

woot! deal: Kindle Touch for $54.99
Thanks to readers Brian and D. Knight for the heads-up on this!
woot! (owned by Amazon) has a deal today (while it lasts) on a refurbished Kindle Touch for $54.99 (plus shipping).
woot! deals tend to sell-out (I was a little surprised this one hadn't yet), so I wouldn't wait if you want one (or more…you can get up to 3).
This is the forerunner of the Kindle Paperwhite. It doesn't have a built-in light…but it does have sound (which includes text-to-speech).
That makes this model particularly attractive to some people…I typically listen to TTS for hours a week in the car.
It has a four out of five star average on Amazon, with 8,358 reviews at time of writing. The Paperwhite does have a higher average: 4.4 stars.
If you were to buy a refurb on Amazon right now, it's $79, so this is about a $25 savings.
Thanks for the heads-up!

text: Barbara Bradley Hagerty After Tragedy, Nonbelievers Find Other Ways To Cope By Barbara Bradley Hagerty • Jan 16, 2013 The Mile High Gliding facility at the Boulder Airport in Colorado is one of Carol Fiore's favorite haunts. And it's a perfect day for flying: clear, breezy and with a gorgeous view of the Rocky Mountains. Fiore used to fly gliders regularly, but a few years ago she stopped. Flying them had become painful. "I felt, in a way, that I was searching for something that wasn't there," Fiore says. "I was looking for that laughter and that incredible time that I had flying with Eric, and he wasn't in the plane with me. I was by myself." Finding New Meaning In The Loss Of A Son By Barbara Bradley Hagerty • Dec 24, 2012 This is a story about loss and meaning. It's the story of a boy who died and a mother who tottered at the precipice of despair. It's about faith — not in God, but in the ability to build from ashes. Mormonism: A Scrutinized, Yet Evolving Faith By Barbara Bradley Hagerty • Nov 28, 2012 Mitt Romney refused to mix religion with politics in this year's presidential campaign, but that didn't repress people's curiosity about Mormonism. His candidacy brought the homegrown faith into the spotlight. Patrick Mason, a professor and chairman of the Mormon Studies program at Claremont Graduate University, says attention paid to his faith has been twofold. On one hand, it's been good for attracting new converts. On the other hand, it's turned Mormonism into something of a cultural punch line. For Religious Conservatives, Election Was A 'Disaster' By Barbara Bradley Hagerty • Nov 8, 2012 Many religious conservatives thought this might be the year of an evangelical comeback, when voters would throw President Obama out because of his support of same-sex marriage and abortion, and his health plan's birth control mandate. It didn't work out that way. "I think this was an evangelical disaster," says Albert Mohler, president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Ky. Battleground States Carry Obama To Second Term By Barbara Bradley Hagerty • Nov 6, 2012 Americans elected Barack Obama to a second term Tuesday, with the president capturing or on the verge of winning all of the key states that had been at the center of his hard-fought campaign against Republican Mitt Romney. "Whether I earned your vote or not, I have listened to you," Obama said early Wednesday at a speech before thousands of supporters in Chicago. "I have learned from you. And you've made me a better president. Voters To Settle Tight And Turbulent Presidential Battle By Barbara Bradley Hagerty • Nov 6, 2012 As Americans go to the polls, one of the closest presidential races in years may be determined by a state in the Midwest and a hurricane named Sandy. After a campaign that has cost some $6 billion, the two candidates are in the same place they started: with President Obama a smidgen ahead of challenger Mitt Romney, so close that differences are in most cases statistically insignificant. Shift In Mormon Age Policy Widens Women's Options By Barbara Bradley Hagerty • Oct 31, 2012 Hannon Young was listening with only half an ear during the General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints earlier this month when Church President Thomas S. Monson started talking about missionaries. But then Young perked up — and froze, as Monson declared that women no longer have to wait until they are 21 to go on their missions. They can begin at 19, he said. "You could hear an audible gasp throughout the whole conference center," says Young, a freshman at Brigham Young University. "It was just this wave of shock." Sisters And Vatican II: A Generational Tug Of War By Barbara Bradley Hagerty • Oct 10, 2012 Fifty years ago, Pope John XXIII launched a revolution in the Catholic Church. The Second Vatican Council opened on Oct. 11, 1962, with the goal of bringing the church into the modern world. Catholics could now hear the Mass in their local language. Laypeople could take leadership roles in the church. And the church opened conversations with other faiths. For American nuns, Vatican II brought freedoms and controversies that are playing out today. Both Candidates Leave God Off The Campaign Trail By Barbara Bradley Hagerty • Oct 2, 2012 Religion used to be everywhere in the presidential elections. George W. Bush courted conservative believers in 2004. In 2008, Sarah Palin excited evangelicals and — unexpectedly — so did Barack Obama. What a difference a few years make. In 2007, then-candidate Obama used evangelical language to describe his Christian conversion: He was a young, secular community organizer who occasionally visited the local Chicago church, when one day he walked to the front of the sanctuary and knelt before the cross.

This is the 4th time I've sat down, determined to finish a blog post. New Orleans (and it's wonderful inhabitants) have a way of offering up enticing distractions. But I will keep trying. I'm going to attempt to finish up my travel posts, considering I got back over a month ago. So, without further adieu…
After a crazy speedboat ride from Belize, we arrived in Livingston, Guatemala drenched but grateful to be unharmed. A fellow passenger remarked that he made the trip regularly but that that ride was "the craziest it's ever been". Lucky us.
We began our way up the hill to immigration, eager dock boys lapping at our feet.
For the uninitiated, dock boys are the boys (and in this case, men) who wait at entry ports for tourists then try to lead them towards hotels that will give them a commission for new guests. They followed us all the way to immigration, hounding us the entire time. "What's your name?" "Where you from?" "Stay at [hotel] it's real nice. Good price.
I take you there!"
It's annoying and exhausting, especially after a long day of travel. And they don't even help you carry your bags.
(Not that you should ever give your bag to a stranger. Don't)
After a lightning quick immigration process, we made our way back down the hill, dock boy lapping at our heels. I already knew where I would be staying if they had vacancies, and I informed him of this. Still he marched in front us and as we approached hotels, acted as a marketing representative for each one. "Real cheap!" "This place is brand new" "Lots of backpackers there"
Our intended destination was a bit of a walk from the town but he stuck with us like a shadow. At one point, as we trudged along, I asked him if he was our bodyguard. He grunted in response.
We finally made it to Casa Rosada, the highest rated Livinston hotel on Trip Advisor at the time. Luckily they had several rooms available. After an exhausting journey, I was eager to check in and drop my heavy bags. But first, I had to get rid of our shadow.
The dock boy/man had followed us all the way to the reception, yammering on nervously about the perks of the hotel. Once cash was exchanged for the room, he began muttering about his "services", not so subtly implying that I owed him money. Tired and annoyed I inquired what exactly I owed him for. For following us to the hotel? The hotel that I had already been planning to check into? For making the long trek to the hotel even more tiresome with his creepy nervous energy? Much appreciated, bro. Safely on hotel grounds, I declined his offer and he slinked away. While I understand that these men live in deep poverty and are trying to make money, I'm not going to support harrassment. During the trip there were dock boys who were genuinely useful in finding a hotel and who were compensated by that hotel (and by me). Following tourists who repeatedly tell you they don't need your help is not behavior that should be encouraged. :End of rant:.
There isn't much to say about the two days in Livingston. I walked into town a couple times but it was mostly just your standard tourist shops and a couple restaurants. The population was a mix of Garifuna, afro-caribbean, mayan and latin residents. I didn't find them to be particularly friendly, as in some tourist towns, mostly they just went about their business. The parts of town I saw weren't particularly charming or interesting. In fact, since Livingston was my first taste of Guatemala, I was nervous that the rest of the country was going to be a disappointment.
One thing in Livingston that was not a disappointment was Casa Rosada. It had lush, well appointed grounds, adorable rooms and a beautiful view of the Rio Dulce. It was such a calming, almost dreamy location. I spent much of the two days there lounging on the outdoor sofas with my cat friend, admiring the view.
The days were warm and sunny until around 3:00 when the skies would darken and the drizzle would begin. It rained off and on for the remainder of the evenings, sometimes a light mist, sometimes a roof pounding downpour. I was completely unprepared for this change in weather, clothing-wise. But after a hot, sticky, rainless month in Belize, I wasn't complaining. I also made a new friend at a local restaurant. This is Erica.
Don't let the smiling picture fool you. Shortly after this was taken, I glanced down and noticed she'd shat on my thigh. Thanks, amiga. Then, after attempting to eat my hair, she climbed onto my head and could not be persuaded to get down. I began to panic slightly as a bird with loose bowels is not my preference for a hat. I calmly attempted to extract her without disturbing the group of Israeli tourists dining beside me. She simply squawked and threatened to peck my hand. Finally I walked into the kitchen and had the owner remove her from my head before her next anal explosion.
So to review, there was a parrot in a dining establishment, defecating on diners which I then brought into the kitchen where meals were being prepared. Health and safety codes are a little more lax in Guatemala. (And the pizza was damn good.)
Livingston isn't somewhere I'd recommend for more than a few days but if you're passing through, Casa Rosada is definitely worth checking out. Please send my best to Erica.
