On May 10th, 2011, roughly 25,000 Angels fans broke the Guinness World Record for most costume masks worn at one gathering. The previous record of 250 masks was blown away, and this new record is going to be one hell of a challenge to break.
The Angels have always been a gimmicky team, with their thundersticks and Rally Monkey, but this definitely tops the charts. The event was planned by John Rozak, a marketing associate for the Angels, who hired teams to hand out costume masks to attendants entering Angels Stadium. Somewhere around the fifth inning there was a countdown to a 10-minute period of time when the masks would be worn and the record would be officially recorded. Coincidentally, the 10-minute period occurred as Howard Kendrick hit a double, leading the Angels 6-1 over the White Sox.
If the score wasn't bad enough for White Sox moral, the sight of 25,000 Angels fans wearing the same costume masks must have been horrifying. Better luck next time, White Sox?
The costume masks section is relatively new to the Guinness World Records. When asked about it, Amanda Mochan of Guinness said, As long as something is measurable, breakable, and interesting, then we're definitely open to taking a look at it. And this [event] fits all of those criteria.
A brief look at the official Guinness World Records website brought me to this interesting record: Gerold Weschenmoser of Germany owns more than 5,385 different masks, as of March 2010. He has been collecting costume masks since 1957. If anyone plans on breaking that record, they better start stocking up on costume masks, because you have a long way to go.

From newbie to Cat 1, the SuperMagneto has the right resistance.
The CycleOps SuperMagneto Pro is an ideal indoor trainer for the multiple-cyclist household. The Flexible Power Curve Technology offers four distinctly different power curves by changing the location of the four resistance magnets; as they move away from the trainer's axis, resistance increases. "Easy" allows you to warm up before a workout. The "Road" setting offers a sharper resistance curve to more convincingly mimic road conditions. The "Interval" setting features a sharp contrast in resistance between low and high speeds, making intervals harder and recovery easier. "Mountain" simulates riding a World Cup course with the resistance of steep, high wattage climbs followed by the skill-focused recovery of a descent. Each flywheel is individually balanced for reduced bearing wear and concentrates its mass at the flywheel's outer edge to maximize inertia; a pause in your pedal stroke won't cause the unit to come to a stop. With the Pro Series frame you get a wider base to back up your biggest efforts, the ability to level the unit, and one-sided installation for quick setup and removal. The CycleOps SuperMagneto Pro is also foldable for easy storage.

great trainer
got the cyclops and love it ,quiet with a lot of setting well worth the money
Janette Tank
Excellent Trainer for Sprints / Variety
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
I love this thing. Very realistic road feel compared to the trainers under this level. Outstanding for sprints. When I sprint and accelerate quickly, it handles the change in speed very, very well. Solid base even when I'm giving it everything I have. 4 different difficulty settings including road, interval, mountain, and easy... The mountain setting is ROUGH. I'm going to use that to rev up the legs for cyclocross season. I'm a bit weird in that I use my trainer throughout the year. Sometimes it's easier for me to focus on a maximum-effort sprint session if I force myself onto the trainer with no distractions from the outside. I have access to a Fluid 2 at my job during lunch, but it's absolutely horrific for sprinting. It builds up a tremendous amount of pressure very suddenly, locking up your legs and dragging you under during your sprint. I love my Super Magneto so much that I will lug it up the stairs to work on the days that I know I will be forced to train indoors.

What other accessories Coe with this unit? I see on different site that there is a video come with it . All I received was the trainer and skewer.
Ben Towery
Our version of the trainer only comes with the skewer. Let me know if you have any other questions.

great trainer
- Familiarity:I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I shopped trainers pretty hard and decided on the Super Mag Pro because it has 4 resistance settings and it's advertised as super quiet. There is definitely a difference in resistance among the four levels, and then shifting the bike of course fine tunes a bit more. Standing for 10 minutes really burns the thighs---just like on a hard climb. I'd been using a CycleOps wind trainer for 10 years and it's just incredibly noisy. My new one is whisper quiet in comparison and makes listening to music or TV easy. I'm very happy with my choice and glad the search is over!

Hector Parra
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
Well, first, it survived the trip from the US to Colombia via UPS, so great packing. It was very easy to assembly and start for the first use. Is a great option for those that, like me, can only ride outdoors on weekends. Is very quiet and the sensations are very similar to real riding.
I also got the "Trainer Accessory Kit", which proves to be very useful.
Lexi Dowdall
Gald your trainer arrived safe and sound Hector!

Great trainer
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
The trainer lived up to all the other reviews. Well made, in the USA ! Worth the money. Quiet and sturdy. I recommend it.
Jason C.
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
Better than expected. The settings dial for "flat" or "hills" really works but really just means it pushes harder against your pedals the faster the RPM your wheel spins. Sound is reasonably quiet (in comparison to other brands and older models anyway). Its just great...if its snowing, this is the next best option.
Awesome Workout
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
I recently purchased this trainer and loved the quality of workout I can get from it. The tension can be adjusted to simulate flat roads,rolling hills or mountains. It very quiet and Cycleops makes it super easy to install your bike on it. Its fairly light weight too so super easy to transport to races,ect. This one is highly recommended.
Easy to install and adjust resistance.
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
I installed it in my living room on an old yoga mat and it is not as loud as I thought it was going to be, or at least my downstairs neighbor has not complaint.
It has been great to recover an injured knee.

Re: New People, Please Introduce Yourselves
Hello all,
My Name is Suzi, and I have an addiction for dragons.. games, pics, movies.. you name it..
Loved Moria (my introduction to dungeons and dragons games way back in my student years) even though now it would probably not rate with today's techies.. for me it was great.. my imagination had to recreate the X's and Z's etc.. into the fierce Ancient Dragons, or the evil iggy - which used to pee on your leg and steal from your backpack.
I have a vivid imagination and used to make them fierce indeed!!
Have played other games, but the ones like this are my favourite. Currently playing the FATE series 1 - 4. However, at present I have come a cropper in 2 as I can't go anywhere.. if anyone else plays this game could they maybe help without cheating?
Am at level 14 at the forest, go down to level 15 and I am stuck in a pit! No way out except up back to level 14! Never seen that except in Moria, but then you could smash your way out with bashing spells... not so in this game...
I can't go any further with the ice caves either as they say that I get a feeling of dread and won't go down.. grrrrrrrrrr
Anyway, help would be appreciated.
Suggestion to moderators... maybe you could reverse the posts? It is a bit disconcerting to read posts that are from 2009 or earlier first.. surely should be latest first so that you can get to know those who are currently using system? Sorry... just a suggestion..

Welcome to
Jace Hall has made a lot of us nostalgic for the games of yesteryear. There's an entire generation of people out there that know what a Nintendo64, Dreamcast and what Pocket Gaming is. Then there's that same generation plus one that remembers Playstation one and Amiga, might even still have one and the days of modding for Planet Tetrinet – Quake 2, building a Quake 3 map and spending all day in a Quake 3 Arena.
Now in 2011 we are seeing 3D free casino games, with virtual dealers, and there has really been a huge development in the online casinos gaming software.
The next story we will write about, will be about the new 3D games. Some of the best 3D games has to be the new slot machines, these new games use the newest 3D, and they are simply some of the best 3D design we have seen.

President Jakaya Kikwete has called on Africa to improve airline industry, in order to attract more tourists from the developed world.
Addressing the 47th Annual meeting of the African Development Bank and the 38th Annual meeting of AfDB here, Kikwete said: "It is astonishing to see that there are limited direct flights landing in Africa from developed countries like the US, European countries and as far as Asia, despite of our thrilling tourist destinations."
He said in the past, major international airline companies like Lufthansa used to land in Africa but today there are very few and some of them no longer land in Africa.
"This is a very serious threat to Africa's tourism, which if well developed could employ millions of people," Kikwete said, adding that US-based airline — Delta now lands only in South Africa.
"High airfare in Africa's airlines is a challenge that thwarts development of tourism industry in the continent," Kikwete said, calling for the continent's policy makers to work on the matter. "We need to create better environment to attract major international airlines, to initiate direct flights to African countries, so that tourists from abroad land directly in the tourist destinations they want.
"If well developed, tourism will have a big share in providing employment to our people, which in recent days, has become a big challenge," he said citing increasing youth unemployment in Africa and warning that it could trigger political turmoil.
"What happened in the Arab springs, will likely to affect other African countries. Unemployed youths is a challenge that needs to be worked on as they can destabilise even the democratically elected governments," he said, urging AfDB to play its role in industrialisation of Africa, through supporting growth of manufacturing and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and the private sector.
"What are required are the financial mechanisms to assist entrepreneurs in Africa to invest in manufacturing. They need finance but also support to develop into effective private sector."
On agriculture, Kikwete asked AfDB to help African countries including Tanzania to transform their agriculture so as to enable the continent to feed itself and the world while at the same time lifting millions of people out of poverty through increased production and incomes.
He also stated that Africa is in dire need of financial and technical support to upgrade and advance, adding that the financing gap to upgrade and advance Africa's infrastructure is a major constraint to the continent's development.
Citing the Tanzanian example, the President said, the country has a road network of about 85,000km but only 6000km are paved.
"We expect to reach 11,000km of tarmac roads by 2015. So, we've a long-way to go," he said, noting that Africa needs more roads, railways, ports and airports and ICT to open-up and increase market access in Africa. He stressed the need for African governments to take bold decisions to address the situation, by investing heavily in vocational training education, whereby youth will be fully-empowered with a wide-range of technical skills.
"It is also time for Africa to start investing in industrialisation, taking the advantage of having large amounts of raw materials," he said, adding that Africa is well-placed and endowed with huge resources, which need to be processed for the betterment of its people.
In his remarks, Cote d'Ivoire President, Allassane Ouattara called for collective efforts in addressing climate, which has been contributing to poor harvests of agro-related products in the continent. He said climate change is a threat towards ensuring the continent feeds its own people as of now there are millions of people who are starving in the region.
Ouattara also stated that peace had returned to his country and it was time for potential investors to go and invest in different sectors.

Stakeholders in the sector of tourism have been urged to invest in cultural tourism as well as promote wildlife and historical sites in the country.
"Tourism has changed a lot and due to a widespread of social networks like Facebook and Twitter, tourisms are no longer sleeping in expensive hotels or going to see wildlife.
They want something unique they can share with their colleagues on Facebook," said Chris Thompson at a sustainable tourism training workshop funded by the British high Commission in Dar es Salaam yesterday.
While believing that capital was one of the critical challenges in the country, Thompson, who works with Travelife as lead consultant, said the country had all raw materials needed and there was a need to access new markets in the tourist industry.
He said the government could still maintain traditional offers to boost its growth but at the same time it had to preserve its cultural identity.
"The majority of tourists coming from abroad are interested in getting personal experience by meeting with local people and consuming local products," he said adding that some tourists failed to come to Tanzania because they missed the uniqueness to share with their friends and colleagues home.
According to a survey on sustainable tourism conducted in Arusha and Zanzibar, Thompson said people needed guidance on how to utilise tourist attractions.
Damian Bell, representing Honeyguide Foundation, said one of the challenges in the tourist industry in the country was public awareness on procedures needed to do business.
He said people interested in the tourist industry had to know what to do and improve in the tourist sector.
"My suggestion is that people should change the way they manage tourism," he advised.
For his part, William Halule, who is Tanzania Tourism Board (TTB) information officer, advised those investing in tourism to be creative, organise and set aside unique areas for promoting cultural tourism.
He said tour operators in the country should change their way of operating from taking tourists from the airport-to-hotels-to-game reserves and be creative by introducing tourists to other attractive areas to enable them to buy local objects and products.

PIERRE| South Dakota Gov. Dennis Daugaard says he believes the state's current gun laws are good and he sees no need to change them.
Daugaard says he supports the state law that allows people to carry concealed weapons if they have permits. He says he opposes allowing people to carry concealed guns without permits because they could accidentally get into trouble if they carry a concealed handgun in another state without a permit.
The Republican governor also says any plan to improve school safety, such as letting teachers or administrators have guns in schools, should be developed by local school officials and law enforcement agencies. He says law officers believe school entrances should be made more secure.
Daugaard believes Congress is so divided it will not approve any gun control measures.

MY CREEK JOB WAS TURBIDITY=http://
turbidity is the study of the cloudiness and clearness of water.we check for it because if the water is cloudy,it could be toxins,or acids floating in the water!!!The acids or toxins can effect the water by poisening fish and plants.if it is dead plants in the water,it can block the sunlight from coming in then it would make the living plants sick...we used this little machine and you get a small glass bottle of the creek water (or any water) and you put it in.you hook it up to a labquest and then it will show you the level of cloudiness in the water sample.!!! will finish later!!!!

Hi so you want tol learn about our jobs well im in pH. It stands for potential of hydrogen (yes i rememberd).what i learned is that 0,1,2,3,4,5 is not so good 6,7,8 is good (7 is sorta the best to get) 9,10,11,12,13,14 is bad anything above 8 is bad because if its not 6,7,8 then the fish will die and we dont want that. There are other jobs other than pH : there is flow rate,ammonia,nitrates,temperature,dissovled oxygen, turbidity
Hope you enjoyed it

Water Quality Research Questions Research Notes
What is the parameter? (Write a complete description of it.
Flow Rate is it is the measure of cubic feet per second or gallons per second in a creek or river. Cubic feet per second is expressed: ft3/sec. Flow is a function of water volume and velocity. Stream velocity increases as the streams volume increases. Unless the volume of a stream is the same of the other stream they won't have the same Flow Rate.
How does it affect water quality?
Large, swiftly flowing rivers can receive pollution discharges and be little affected, whereas small streams have less capacity to dilute and degrade wastes. Stream flow determines the kinds of organisms that can live in the stream, some need fast flowing areas others need slow,
quiet areas.
How is it measured?
What levels are good?
What levels are acceptable?
What levels are bad?
Flow Rate is measured in cubic ft. per second, or "ft3/sec". Good levels of ft3/sec depends on what lives in the stream. Bad levels are pretty much whats too fast for any fish, macroinvertebrates, ect. Acceptable levels also differ to whats is living in the stream, there really is no good/bad levels, it just depends what the things in the stream need.
How does this parameter affect fish?
How does this parameter affect humans?
How does this parameter affect vegetation?
Flow Rate affects fish VERY much, fish could be washed away, etc. Fish do need either fast streams or slow streams. Fast-moving streams generally have higher levels of dissolved oxygen than slow streams because they are better aerated. This affects humans because streams with a higher flow can wash away eutrophication, waste, etc.

The Police force in Zanzibar yesterday used tear gas to disperse members of the Islamic revival group (UAMSHO) who were heading to Donge constituency where they had a congregation in one of the mosques in a series of their meetings demanding Zanzibar to separate from the Union.
Zanzibar Commissioner of Police, Mussa Ali Mussa said the members were being ferried by vehicles from Zanzibar Urban West region towards North Unguja region when they were stopped by the police and directed to go back.
He said the police force had received a letter from the regional commissioner directing them to stop the group from conducting the congregation in the area, saying ordinary residents were opposed to the group using the mosque for political activities.
"The police force started dispersing them after they arrived at Mahonda area. We therefore ask the residents to shun activities aimed at violating peace and harmony," he said.
The event comes few days after the Minister of state in the second vice president's office, Mohamed Aboud banned the congregation, demonstrations, and meetings which have no government permit following the may 26 violence which led to burning of several bars and churches in Zanzibar.

1:00 p.m.
On Saturday, June 8, 2013, the Ronald Reagan
Presidential Foundation is honored to host a book
signing for Buzz Aldrin. Dr. Aldrin will be signing his
newest book, Mission to Mars: My Vision for Space
Exploration (publish date: May 7, 2013) in the Reagan
Library's Museum Store beginning at 1:00 p.m*. Books
must be purchased in the Library's Museum Store to
receive signature. To pre-purchase a book, please CLICK HERE or call 805-522-2977 for more
In Mission to Mars, legendary "space statesman" Buzz Aldrin speaks out
as a vital advocate for the continuing quest to push the boundaries of the
universe as we know it. As a pioneering astronaut who first set foot on the
moon during mankind's first landing of Apollo 11--and as an aerospace
engineer who designed an orbital rendezvous technique critical to future
planetary landings--Aldrin has a vision, and in this book he plots out the path
he proposes, taking humans to Mars by 2035.
Selected by NASA in 1963 into the third group of astronauts, Dr. Aldrin was the
first with a doctorate and became known as "Dr. Rendezvous." The docking
and rendezvous techniques he devised for spacecraft in Earth and lunar orbit
became critical to the success of the Gemini and Apollo programs, and are
still used today. In 1966, on the Gemini 12 orbital mission, Buzz performed
the world's first successful spacewalk. Then, on July 20, 1969, Buzz and Neil
Armstrong made their historic Apollo 11 moonwalk, becoming the first two
humans to set foot on another world. Upon returning from the moon, Buzz
was decorated with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest American
peacetime award.
*Buzz Aldrin will only autograph the following three books, all which must be
purchased at the Reagan Library Museum Store to receive signature: Mission
to Mars, Reaching for the Moon, and Look to the Stars. No other memorabilia,
photos, etc will be signed. To get through the line, Dr. Aldrin will not personalize
the books (he will only sign his name). No posed photography will be allowed.

The CEO of ElectriCities, who was interviewed in our stories last week about customers complaining about high utility bills, is blogging about our reports.
Graham Edwards writes, "There's no question that many people across eastern North Carolina are frustrated with the high cost of electricity. That frustration was evident in a story that aired last night on WITN, an NBC station that covers the Washington, Greenville and New Bern markets."
Those high bills are largely associated with the 2.4 billion dollar debt the NC Eastern Municipal Power Agency, managed by Electricities, continues to pay for buying into nuclear facilities decades ago.
Edwards goes on to says, "NCEMPA" has reduced the debt by more than $1 billion since 1993, but the cities remain obligated to repay $2.4 billion over the next 15 years. Until that debt is paid, there's no silver bullet that can magically reduce electric rates - a point that even Gov. Perdue acknowledged at the end of yesterday's broadcast."
You can read more about what Edwards blogged about our reports by clicking in the link following this story.
Tuesday night at 6:00 we'll continue our reports about the high bills and what some in Raleigh want to do.

One thing that has always fascinated me is the art of making charcuterie. For years, I have longed to learn the craft of salting, smoking, curing and drying large, fat-laden slabs of meat. I'd even bought a copy of Michael Ruhlman and Brian Polcyn's, definitive tome on the subject, Charcuterie: The Craft of Salting, Smoking, and Curing. Late at night, I would greedily pore over those pages, lusting after each photo and dreaming of someday presenting my loved ones with my own delicately spiced and perfectly balanced versions of sopressata, guanciale, pâté and confit. I discovered other like-minded, charcuterie-loving bloggers as well – trailblazers in the metamorphoses of pork, duck and foie gras.
Until very recently, I have only admired those adventurous, bacon curing, salumi making souls from afar – never daring to venture into those uncharted waters myself. Then, I found out about Charcutepalooza, a twelve month blogging extravaganza devoted to celebrating the "elegant craft of salting, smoking and curing" meat. Each month, the group tackles a different type of charcuterie, using Ruhlman's book as a guide, and the participants each post about their experiences. With over three hundred members and counting, Charcutepalooza is a great opportunity to explore, learn and share the ins and outs of homemade charcuterie.
I sat on the fence for a long time before I decided to join the group. I worried that I wouldn't have the time or the resources to follow through. I also worried that the hot, muggy climate I live in wouldn't be conducive to hanging and curing meat. And, I was really afraid that I might unwittingly kill someone with my carnivorous creations! However, when I finally found a local source of fresh duck and pork bellies, I threw caution to the wind and signed on.
I had already missed the first Charcutepalooza assignment, which was making duck prosciutto. I decided to start there anyway as the process looked pretty easy. It seemed like a good way to get my feet wet, and the end result sounded pretty awesome.
Little did I know then that my plans would soon go awry. read more >>

- Conflict in women's decision-making about multiple roles
- Author(s)
- Poole, Millicent E.; Langan-Fox, Janice
- Abstract
- Presents a conceptual map of the different patterns of relationships between work and private lives and addresses the serious dilemmas and tensions facing women in coping with the public work-private personal interface. Using results from interviews with 36 women (aged 27 yrs) about their past and present work and family experiences, an adaptation of a typology by P. Evans & F. Bartolome (1984) is used to explain the different role constraints faced by women. The typology is incorporated within the J. D. Krumboltz (1984) decision-making theory to illuminate the problematic nature of the work-family relationship. A life history analysis of a single woman is presented as illustrative. Role quantity in itself, it is concluded, is not a cause of stress and conflict. The ability of women and their families to work together to resolve role conflict is crucial, particularly the willingness of husbands to contribute to wives' career success.

Maybe she'd knock him into reality?
quote:Not talking down to you. Just that I'm likely almost twice your age...I'm 51...and I've dealt with this issue, and the cosequences arising from the lack of adequate coverage,for several decades. You have made a decision to acceopt certain risks and not insure for certain potential liabilities. Fine and as I said before, good luck to you.
Don't talk down to me
Plus I have close to 10k in my pocket from not paying UM for the last 15 years
calundra is going to have to hit me pretty hard considering my transmission weighs more than her car
If it's the uninsured motorists fault, then...well, they're shite out of luck. They are responsible for their own health coverage. It's not up to you to insure others. Why should you buy coverage for person x for the fault of person y...you're getting double whammy'd. As selfish as that sounds
I'm not a lawyer so help me out. How do I get sued by my passengers when an uninsured motorist is at fault?
UM sharts 10k when it sneezes.
I'm not a lawyer so help me out. How do I get sued by my passengers when an uninsured motorist is at fault?
They usually sue everyone involved
throw a lot of shite and see where it sticks
How much have you made off of your UM?
zero thus far, i rejected it a few years back.
you son of a bitch
You have made a decision to acceopt certain risks and not insure for certain potential liabilities.
All scenarios if an an uninsured motorist hits me (let's assume fault is not clear):
My passengers? Covered under my bodily injury liability coverage up to limits. Might be exposed to further if sued by passengers who are injured. Does UMBI kick in here?
quote:No, your UM is not involved in that. Those passengers only look to your liability, the host UM and their own UM.
Uninsured driver & passengers of said driver injuries:quote:or gray area, worst case I guess my bodily injury liabilities would kick in...or would be exposed to being sued. Again, does my UMBI kick in here? If I am not at fault, nothing.
If I am at fault

The Vapid Interceptor (simply Police Cruiser in-game) is a law enforcement car that appears in Grand Theft Auto V. It is one of the 3 types of police cruisers used by the LSPD and as a result it can be found at police stations as well as be seen pursuing the player or NPC characters. It also can be found patrolling on some areas in Los Santos.
The car's design is clearly inspired by American styling featured on the Ford Taurus Police Interceptor.
The front end of the car is dominated by the presence of a large push bar, with four lights in the top horizontal beam of the unit. The base of the front bumper is trimmed with a polymer. The lower central area of the bumper features a trapezium-shaped air duct and at either side, level with the top of the duct, there are LED strip lights. There is a main grille located in the central area at the top of the front face. Near to the grille there are headlamp units made up of two circular lamps and an amber turn indicator area on the outside. There are hideaway strobe lights mounted in the headlight assembly. The post mount spotlight comes on when you switch to its high beams.
The sides of the car feature the black and white color scheme, with the white area having police markings. The sides of the car are fairly simple with the body only featuring flared wheel arches. The door feature black wing mirrors at the base of the A pillar, with a spotlamp mounted above it. The roof mounted light bar is split into eight sections, with the outer three on each side having either red or blue colored lamps. The central two are clear colored. The C pillar of the car is fairly smooth and at the top corners of the rear windscreen there are small colored alternate flashing lights. The roof also features unit numbers. The car uses black wheels with chrome center caps, wrapped in high profile tires. On the inside of the car there is a protective mesh separating the front occupants from the rear.
Near the top of the car's rear face in the central third of the cars width there is an impressed area where the license plate is mounted. Various badges are mounted near almost all of the vertices of the area (excluding the lower left). Similar in height, at the edges of the car body are the rear light units with inner edges parallel to the outer edges of the license plate area. The rear lights are split into four regions, the central strips are where the turn indicator and reverse lamps are found. The rear lights also have the ability to flash alternately in a wig-wag pattern. At the base of the rear bumper, covering three-quarters of the car's width is a trapezium-shaped polymer insert. Near the top of the insert, on wither side there are red horizontal reflectors. In the lower corners of the rear insert there are twin-circle exhaust tips.
The rear of the car, especially the rear light units, appears to resemble the Australian Ford FG Falcon. This is somewhat ironic, because the Falcon is more popular as a taxi than a police car in Australia.
As the in-game name suggest, it could be a new generation of the Police Cruiser, as the "Classic" Bravado Police Cruiser reappears with the same shape in GTA IV, and another Vapid cruiser based on the model of the Taxi appears.
The rear-wheel drive V6 powered Interceptor employs wishbone suspension for its front axle. The car also features 4-wheel disc brakes. It has good acceleration compared to most sedans, far better than the older platform that it replaced in the LSPD. It also has good braking and above average handling, and it takes a lot of effort to make it lose grip thanks to its stiff suspension.
If it has any flaw, it is its durability. Compared to the Stanier, it takes less effort to bend the axle to the point that the wheel locks, and the new turbocharged V6 is less durable than the old naturally-aspirated V8. Despite its downsides, the car is powerful and controllable. If the car is not an abused, it will be an excellent choice for any officer.

- At all police stations across Los Santos.
- Frequently appear between one-star and three-star wanted levels and patrolling the streets or chasing criminals.
- At least one can always be found at the Mission Row Police Station.
- At least one can be found patrolling around the interiors of Bolingbroke Penitentiary.
- When flipped over, the car appears to have no drive shaft. However, if you look closely, the engine is longitudinal and there is a differential at the rear.
- The turbocharged V6 resembles Ford's EcoBoost turbocharged engines, specifically the twin-turbocharged 3.5L V6 used in both the civilian and police version of the Ford Taurus.
- It is the only police vehicle in game that does not have a civilian variant (the Police Buffalo, Police Cruiser and FIB Granger all have civilian versions, though the Police Cruiser's civilian model is of a previous generation).
- Despite the real in-game name Police Cruiser, many fans prefer to call it Interceptor to differentiate it better from other police cars.
- The on-board computer that is visible inside the Interceptor features the LCPD database screen.
Cultural references
- The inclusion of this car is a direct reference to the Ford Taurus Interceptors that went into use by the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department in 2012.

- The Artist
Theophile Alexandre Steinlen (1859 – 1923) was a Swiss artist whose posters of cabarets and music hall performers were infused with a warm, intimate style. Initially employed as a textile printer, Steinlen became immersed in the avant-garde world of the Chat Noir Café after moving to Paris' bohemian Montmartre section. In Paris, he created over 400 Art Nouveau illustrations for local magazines, as well as advertisements and stylized nightclub posters, which often featured the cats that he loved. Steinlen also drew genre scenes of the working class, which depicted everyday Parisian life in a style that was technically proficient and also exhibited great sensitivity toward his subjects.
