Mike Webster / Junior Seau
This is 2009 GQ article about brain damage in NFL. After reading this article, I understand better why Junior Seau took his own life and I truly hope that Paul Taglibue will never be inducted into Pro Football Hall of Fame. That man played a huge role in HOW Mike Webster died. bq. It took Fitzsimmons a year and a half to hunt down all of Webster's medical records, scattered in doctors' offices throughout western Pennsylvania and West Virginia. He sent Webster for four separate medical evaluations, and all four doctors confirmed Fitzsimmons's suspicion: closed-head injury as a result of multiple concussions. Fitzsimmons filed the disability claim with the NFL. There are several levels of disability with the NFL, and Mike Webster was awarded the lowest one: partial, about $3,000 a month. Fitzsimmons said, "Oh, please." He said if ever there was a guy who qualified for the highest, it was Mike Webster. The highest level was "total disability, football-related," reserved for those who were disabled as a result of playing the game. It would yield Webster as much as $12,000 a month. Fitzsimmons said to the NFL, "Four doctors—all with the same diagnosis!" The NFL said no. Four doctors were not enough. They wanted Webster seen by their own doctor. So their own doctor examined Webster…and concurred with the other four: closed-head injury. Football-related. The NFL pension board voted unanimously for partial disability anyway. Fitzsimmons said, "You have got to be kidding me." He filed an appeal with the U.S. District Court in Baltimore, where the pension board is headquartered. The judge reversed the decision of the NFL pension board—the first time in history any such action had been taken against the NFL. And yet still the NFL fought. They took the case to federal court. They said Mike Webster—who had endured probably 25,000 violent collisions during his career and now was living on Pringles and Little Debbie pecan rolls, who was occasionally catatonic, in a fetal position for days—they said Mike Webster didn't qualify for full disability.*

While Nokia's recent acquisition agreement with software giant Microsoft means we might not be seeing devices bearing the finish firm's name for much longer, the company still has a few left to unveil.
While not yet official, reliable tech rumour source @evleaks has suggested that Nokia will release a Windows tablet in the near future, calling it the Lumia 2520. Previous rumours have suggested that the device has had a working title of Sirius, but the latest report suggests that it will be named as a part of the company's leading smartphone range.
This isn't the first we've heard about a Nokia tablet, and previous leaks point towards the device having a 10.1-inch display, albeit with a surprisingly low ppi of only 156. Other rumoured specs include a Qualcomm Adreno GPU, 32GB internal storage and 4G LTE connectivity.
Nokia has lined up an event for 22 October when it is expected to launch the Lumia 1520 smartphone, which is widely thought to be the firm's first phablet device. We wonder if the Lumia tablet may also emerge at the planned event.

The Malacanang of the North built at the shores of the Paoay Lake was one of my major destinations in Ilocos Norte.
I spent half a day for this trip since it was a bit out of the way. The experience was well worth the effort though.
Commuting to Paoay Lake took a while. Most tourists visiting the Malacañang of the North usually have their own ride or rent a tricycle / van from Laoag.
I didn't have that kind of luxury. The locals pointed me to a jeepney stop located near the approach of the Marcos Bridge. It was just a short walk past McDo.
A full jeepney had just left. The next one waited a loooong hour before leaving. It seems I'd have some commuting problems because of scarce transportation options.
View of the Marcos Bridge while waiting for the jeepney to leave.
Commuting to the Malacanang of the North
The jeepneys bound for the Malacanang of the North and Paoay Lake passes by the coastal area of Paoay. It's a different route from the more frequent jeepneys bound for Paoay town proper.
The actual jeepney ride from Laoag to Paoay Lake took only 30 minutes (P20 fare). The jeepney dropped me off right at the entrance of the Malacanang of the North. It was the jeepney's end of route.
Road leading to the Malacanang of the North
Malacanang of the North, at last!
The Malacanang of the North used to be the official residence of former President Ferdinand Marcos and his family whenever they are in Ilocos.
It also provided a venue to entertain affluent local personalities and foreign dignitaries.
Set at the shores of the idyllic Paoay Lake and built in grand Spanish-colonial fashion, the Malacanang of the North certainly seemed like a fitting reflection of the lavish life of the Marcos family.
After the Marcos Regime ended, the Malacañang of the North was transformed into a museum.
Front side of the Malacañang of the North
Over the years, the interiors of the Malacañang of the North gradually lost its luster. It's probably very expensive to keep maintaining the building to a more pristine state.
The hardwood details, marble floors, spacious halls, and capiz shell windows are enough to give visitors a glimpse of how grand it looked during its heyday.
I loved this large painting of the Paoay Church. I wanted to bring it home! It's probably waaay beyond my price range. Who am I kidding? of course it is!
Decided to "own" it in a photo instead.
For an entrance fee of only P10, anyone can already go inside the Malacañang of the North and feel like they own the place for the day.
Paoay Lake
The best part of the Malacañang of the North was the luxurious view of the Paoay Lake.

An 18-hole golf course was located nearby
Huge houses across the lake

Commute back to Laoag
After a tour of the Malacanang of the North, I waited for a jeepney back to Laoag. I waited for ages but still no sign of a jeepney, not even a single tricycle.
I decided to walk to the highway. It took around 15 minutes.
Clubhouse of the Fort Ilocandia Golf Club
Ilocos Norte and Convention Center
Flagged a tricycle after waiting at the highway for 30 minutes. Good thing the driver only charged me P35 for a ride all the way to Laoag City Proper.
Dawang's Place
Packed my bags just in time for the 12nn check-out at the hostel. Before leaving for Vigan, I decided to drop by Dawang's Place for lunch.
Dawang's Place is a carinderia, which offers several Ilokano dishes. It was located along the highway at San Nicolas town … further ahead of Robinsons Place Mall if coming from Laoag.
Built at a garage, the place itself looked very unassuming. The line of cars parked at the roadside said otherwise. I would've easily missed it if not for their huge signage.
Ordered a very fulfilling meal of Pork Adobo, Lauya (Boiled Pork Ribs), Igado (pork tenderloin and pig's innards such as liver, kidney, heart), Rice, and Coke. Total bill was only P102.
The buses headed for Vigan and Manila pass by the highway in front of Dawang's. After crossing the street and a couple of minutes of waiting, I was already on my way to the World Heritage City of Vigan in Ilocos Sur Province.

Thousands protest in St. Paul
Thousands of people are protesting here in St. Paul, making it difficult to get around.
I walked by a building with smashed in windows, one of which looked like a bullet had poked through it. Police are in riot gear, and the Star-Tribune reports that 53 have been arrested so far.
Most of the TVs are showing waves from Gustav crashing against the coast, but the Xcel Center is relatively quiet.
First Lady Laura Bush was greeted with a standing ovation, where she said, "Our first priority for today and in the coming days is to ensure the safety and well-being of those living in the Gulf Coast Region. And to all of those living in the Gulf States, please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you."
Terrorists arrive on the streets of American cities under the guise of many names. The most stealth is the Peace Advocate with his sign of "No More War." He crashes the windows of businesses in order to get our undivided attention. Isn't this the reason the militant Muslim crashes whole buildings down? Isn't he also tring to get our undivided attention so that we will bow to his request and ideals? There seems to be little difference outside of the magnitude of the action's result. Should we not treat them the same? Chaos has never been the friend of order.
How can violence promote peace? These so call peace protesters who destroy property,etc., by their very actions, prove to the world who they really are.
Oh, I take extreme issue with those who place order over justice.
Those protestors are by and large decent, law abiding people who aren't congregating to smash up a city or 'incite riots'. They are fed up with the murderous policies of this supposedly christian president.
It makes me SICK to think how few among us would actually recognize Jesus, were he here in the flesh. Yet so many of you CLAIM to 'know him'.
Jesus WAS a radical for his time. And he didn't look the other way when he saw injustice.
What is wrong with you people?
Your privileged lives and superpower status go to your heads?
You think you actually have the corner on what's RIGHT in this country?
Christians more than any other group shame me these days.
Narrow minded, uncharitable and so assured you are in the right.
No wonder God says many of you will be surprised and left behind.
I think it is sad that people think we Christians think we have it all together and have no need of God's presence in a fallen world where the cultural and spiritual battles are so evident. Why does it bear repeating that whatever good that comes from the lives of Christians is really due to God's presence and influence. It bothers me when people don't look at the whole life of Christ when he lived as a human. He didn't solve all problems, he didn't heal all the sick, he didn't establish an earthly heaven, he didn't write all the rules and parameters of the still to be developed Christian faith. He left that for his people to deal with over the centuries. We don't always get it right; however, we get it right a whole lot more than wrong. And whole lot more than other religious groups in the world (charity, adoptions, missionaries with a goal of making life better, literacy, to name a few).
Karla, the Christians of America are a mixed group. We have different priorties and different desires, needs and aspirations. Just because they don't fit in well with your's doesn't make it somehow defective. I couldn't see Jesus behaving like so many this article is describing.
Your statements say a lot about you and your confusion. However, you are right about those who present Christianity in an arrogant way. There is a difference between confidence and behaving as though one is better than others.

I know I'm coming a little late to this party, but I now feel the need to comment on the pregnant woman who has been grabbing headlines as the "pregnant man." (I wonder how many infertile women looked at the headline last week and thought, "Oh, great.") I am not even going to get into what that child may think when he or she learns they came down their father's birth canal, or how I personally feel about using a turkey baster to create the pregnancy. No, I am simply annoyed by one thing. As an otherwise healthy woman whose reproductive organs don't seem to be working, I am so tired of hearing that a man was able to conceive. It's like pouring salt on my wound (and this is coming from an infertile woman whose testosterone levels are high.. actually, should this give me hope?). For the record, she's not a man. She's had no surgery and still has all her lady parts, so it's a little nuts to dub this a miracle (now me getting pregnant, that would be a miracle). I understand the concept of respecting someone's wishes and calling them by the pronoun they believe fits them, but when it comes to discussing that person's pregnancy, let's refer to their gender from a medical standpoint, please. Media, I am talking to you.
Okay, sorry to rant. Speaking of the media, I heard on the Discovery channel today a wonderful little stat that just brightened my morning - the fact that 250,000 babies are born each day. A quarter of a million! In one day! Hearing that stat really made me realize how absolutely commonplace pregnancy is, and how that is what our bodies are supposed to do. I know this is all very obvious, but when you are unable to give birth to one of the 91,250,000 babies born each year, hearing how many other people are able to isn't exactly fun. I mean, millions upon millions of women are trying their darndest to not get pregnant right now!
Here's an example of how bad it has gotten for me.. It's one thing to see babies everywhere to remind you of your infertility, but has anyone ever looked at a crowd of adults and thought, 'every one of these people were born to a fertile woman'? That's right - I even see adults as a reminder of my infertility. Heck, I am a reminder of my infertility in that my mother was fertile. That's bad. Actually, it's not like I am in a bad place right now. I'm not. These are just some of the thoughts that swirl around in my head on a good day.
As for how my chart is doing, I'm on day 11 and I had three days of spotting following my period. That was a bit excessive, even for me. I had some mucus yesterday. And I just finished my first month of parlodel, which I'm taking for my high prolactin. I'm still taking it, it's just significant because I heard it might take a couple months to start working. Not much else new.

I have become SOOOO frustrated by this whole he/she pregnancy thing. Seeing the pictures make me so sick ...like when I log onto yahoo to check my email and the picture is right there as "Front page" news. I feel horrible b/c I know we are called to love one another as Christians. The whole thing disturbs me though and is yet another example of how our society views life. Argh.ReplyDelete

New Zealand is a place that puts a huge amount of value in national symbols. The silver fern is the most prominent among these - as you'll see in this roundup, Kiwis find many ways to work the fern into their logographs, from the straight-up implementation in the All Blacks logo to the clever integration of grapes and fern in the New Zealand Wine logo. Others play on symbols of the Maori, the indigenous people of New Zealand - otherwise known as Aotorea in the native tongue - as you'll see in logos such as that of the New Zealand Warriors. Check out these thirty Kiwi logos for some Down Under inspiration.
Sidebar: Okay, we know the Rugby World Cup isn't a Kiwi logo strictly speaking, but given the tournament has reached a state of fever pitch in 'the island of the long white cloud', we couldn't help but include it. If you're rugby mad like us, please check out our blog post on 20 Rugby World Cup Designs!

Fishbone's unique blending of ska, punk, reggae, funk and metal has long made them one of America's most innovative and exciting punk bands.
This is a band that has never cared to force out commercially successful pop for the sake of sales, and that passion for simply making music they love has weathered the band well for over 20 years, leading to Still Stuck In Your Throat. This, the band's first recording of new material in six years, is easily one of the best albums you'll hear this year.
New Lineup, Same Sound
Despite the fact that this time around there are only two original members in the lineup (frontman/sax player Angelo Moore and bassist/vocalist Norwood Fisher), this album is classic Fishbone, with all of the mad high-powered ska punk that notation would suggest.
Some of the tracks are destined to become canonical Fishbone classics. "Jack Ass Brigade", which could be the band's new autobiographical theme, and "Skank 'N Go Nutz" which doesn't so much urge you to dance as it commands you to do so, fit in with Fishbone's classic party tunes. I have long lauded the high energy of their live shows since I first caught a set on the patio of the now defunct Club Soda in Kalamazoo, and these tracks are destined to be a solid part of set lists for even more manic, sweaty live shows for years.
The goofy yet political "Party With Saddam" is a plea for peace in an inspired fun way that immediately reminds me of the message, if not the sound, of another Fishbone political classic, 1985's "Party at Ground Zero". Moore and company definitely know how to issue a call to action and a call to fun at the same time.
Other themes abound as well. There are tunes about life on the road ("Frey'd F***in' Nerve Endings" and "Forever Moore") which dwell on the positives and negatives of touring and being away from loved ones, and straight-up hilarity about street fights ("Let Dem Ho's Fight") and snowboarding wipeouts ("Faceplant Scorpion Backpinch") that just continue to showcase Fishbone's collective of stellar musicians who play with astounding tightness.
Still Stuck In Your Throat wraps up with a cover the classic Sublime tune "Date Rape", and in classic Fishbone fashion, take it to the next level, making the tune a bit more frenzied and frantic. It's an excellent tribute and improvement on a band that was often viewed as a Fishbone contemporary.
Moore and Fisher have assembled a great lineup for Fishbone this time around, most notably accented with powerhouse guitar from the legendary Rocky George, whose thrash-heavy riffs carried Suicidal Tendencies for years and work just as well with Fishbone's metal-meets-punk-meets-ska sound.
For a long time, Fishbone were synonymous with the So Cal scene that included the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Jane's Addiction, two other powerhouses spawned in a similar timeframe. Years later, one of those bands is gone and one is no longer doing anything good. It's a testament to their passion that, out of the three, while they haven't seen the commercial success of their comrades, they have neither compromised their sound nor stopped creating music in a style that is distinctive, fun and constantly fresh.

Forehand Throws and Foot Turns: Follow-Up on the IO Foot
I tried to dig up a couple pictures of what I was talking about last week with the "IO Foot"; Keeghan Uhl's gallery of Nationals provided a few useful pictures.
Without further ado:
This picture provides one angle on the IO foot. The throw isn't explicitly IO–which is to say, this could just be a flat throw to the open side–but you'll note that the foot position forces the knee to follow and wind up in a position which allows a fairly clean follow-through of the arm in front of the leg.

Forehand Throws and Foot Turns
I was asked last week about foot placement on forehand hucks. I've been meaning to write about foot placement for a while now, and for something so seemingly simple there's actually a decent amount of nuance to it, so this likely won't be the only post on the topic.
Some general points on stepping and throwing a forehand:

Forehand Hucks Revisited: Shoulder Tilt
I recently received a question from a commenter on my old "Forehand Hucks" post asking about how to compensate for the natural OI that comes with the grip I epouse for flicks.
The easiest (and best) way to control for this is with your shoulder tilt. It's easy to think that some wrist tilt can compensate, but the plane of the throw, flat or otherwise, is decided by your shoulders. A throw that naturally comes out OI becomes flat becomes IO if you adjust the plane along which it's thrown.

Team USA's Huddle Entries
Solid gold! And I'm not just talking about Team USA's prospects at the World Games.
- If you read only one thing about cutting, read Bart Watson's piece. Concise but full of useful information; re-reading is certain to yield more information than the first glance. His thoughts on cutting not only echo mine, but exceed them. I especially like his notion of "control[ling] your defender;" it's a nice, succinct way to think about your goals as a cutter, and synergizes nicely with my favorite "create space, attack space."
Zone O, Huddle-Style
The Huddle has an issue on Zone O.
My favorites (Ryan Morgan's assertion that wings are not just a throwaway position for rookies is worth repeating, too); again, they put things a lot more succinctly than I.
I don't see a ton of revolutionary (compared with my experience) information there, apart from the number of endorsements of the two-handler set; this says to me that zone O really comes down to a good, solid fundamental approach/understanding.
On the skill spectrum, a quick catch-throw turnaround and composure with the disc in your hand are great for any zone handler (and by extension, all players) to have–the former can be worked on pretty much anytime, while the latter would come with more throwing experience/confidence, both under pressure (ratchet it up in practice/drills) and in conditions (find it, and do it).
Knowledge goes hand in hand with skill. Recognizing what kind of zone you're facing and where the weak points are, along with knowing what your own team's assets are, likewise will do a lot to prepare for success. Insert Sun Tzu quote about knowing your enemy and yourself.
Absolute and Practical Pivot Ranges
This is a pretty simple concept, but applied properly can make a big difference in your efficiency and effectiveness on an ultimate field. In ultimate, as with many things, knowing your limits allows you to excel while remaining within yourself.
Your absolute pivot range is how far you can get out to throw. Period. How far does your lunge take you? How much farther does your reach and body torque get you on top of that? Can you throw from that far out? Can you throw well from that far out? You have to be able to throw from this distance (or, phrased differently, know what you can throw at this distance), because the only reason you should extend yourself this far is to throw.
Your practical pivot range is how far you can get out while still being able to quickly move back (which is to say, how far you can get WITHOUT overextending, or your effective faking range). This is a range you'll wind up doing a lot of your motion on an ultimate field in–realistically, a lot of situations won't require you to get out to your absolute range to throw successfully. Think open-side passes, or even a quick swing (fake) when you catch the dump ahead of your defender.
Generally speaking, it's good to keep the fact that you can extend further hidden until you have an opportunity to exploit it (for instance, if you have a killer full-extension inside-out pass, there's no need to show it until you can make that killer IO for a goal or to start some flow, etc.). Even once you've shown it, you shouldn't need to fake all the way out to that range to get a mark to bite, assuming you have convincing, effective fakes.
Pivot/extension range is worth paying attention to in any circumstance–just tossing around, drills, even in scrimmage. Developing a sense of not only what you can do, but what you need to do within that range to suit your goals (get a throw off, or make a mark bite), can and will make you a better player.
Handler Defense
Learn it, do it, own it.
Want to be an elite ultimate player? Learn how to play good handler defense.
Handler? Know Thyself.
If I asked you the question,
"What do you look for in a good handler?"
Your list would probably look something like this:
- good throws
- good hands (catching)
- quick
- good hucks
- breaks
- good decisions (doesn't turn the disc over)
I'll offer that, while there is some requisite level of competence required in some of these areas (I'm thinking "good hands") to be a handler, you can actually do a LOT without anything close to a complete skillset.
The most important thing for any handler (or really any player with the disc in his hands) to know is:
- his/her own limitations
That's all. Can't huck it? Maybe learn the fake, but don't sweat it. Always turfing your IO? Shelf it. Always throwing the disc away? Maybe you need better teammates to catch your visionary throws. (I'm kidding). Not quick enough to shake 'n bake your man in two steps? Master the fine art of positioning and timing, instead of dancing in the lane.
Right there with knowing what you can't do is knowing what you CAN. Maybe you don't have a money flick bomb, endzone-to-endzone, but when you get the disc on an upline cut you can put it to Fred where he'll rip it down 80% of the time. Maybe your IO sucks, but if your mark is overplaying it you can make a beautiful leading around pass.
Play to your strengths!!! Maybe your team asks you to do more than you're capable of or comfortable with right now. Instead of simply trying (and failing) to live up to those expectations, think about how the things you WANT to do and CAN do can jive with those same goals. If you're a handler without game-changing throws, but you can move quickly and get open, instead of trying to make that short IO break pass the coach keeps preaching you can instead focus on dishing the disc to the first open man you see as soon as you get the disc and get back to where you're the most dangerous–moving. If you've got big hucks and little else (including good judgment on when to throw and when to hold), consider talking to your cutters and establishing some preferred receivers you can be comfortable throwing to (and make sure the rest know not to make that cut for you, so you're maximizing completions).
I'm sure you've had experiences where you've run up against guys and thought, "I/we are so much better than them, can do so much more," and then get your ass whooped. You can do a lot with a little if you know how to use it. Before you get caught up in all the stratagems, running a ho-stack or a clam because everyone runs one, try running it from the other side–what can you do well? In what setups, or simply "how," can you best utilize this skill or ability? (Or instead of the positive definition you can look at the negative definition–given your limitations, how can you most avoid overextending yourself?)
Nobody has it all. You can be a great, well-rounded ultimate player, but there are bound to be areas where you feel less confident. Sometimes you'll bump up against those limitations–but it doesn't have to be by design! The best offenses are structured to play to their strengths, to feature their talents. Certainly, progressing in your skills and abilities is something to work towards, but when it counts,

This was and is one of my favorite crafty things to make with paper. Did anyone else do this as a kid? You just cut little squares (1 inch or so) of tissue paper, wrap them around the end of a pencil and glue them onto paper. It is so satisfying to see it come together all frilly and fluffy. I showed the kids how to do it last night so now there are little squares of tissue paper floating all over the house. I think we will make some more tonight. I love Valentines Day!

About the Reynolds brand
In the world of cycling, Reynolds stands as one of a handful of iconic brands. The legendary connection between Reynolds and cycling began in 1897 in Birmingham, England with the introduction of the company's first lugged, steel tube sets. Reynolds has distinguished itself as a brand at the cutting edge of cycling technology ever since. From the prestigious 531/753/853 badges on lugged steel frames, to the revolutionary RZR line of Ultralight wheels, Reynolds' historic contribution to precision, craftsmanship, and innovation in cycling takes a back seat to no one. Reynolds Cycling in Salt Lake City is a branch in the Reynolds family tree that has developed into one of the world's pre-eminent carbon wheel manufacturers, and carries on the tradition of excellence in the global cycling industry. Reynolds has supplied carbon tubing for some of the finest bicycle brands; their components, forks and wheels can be found under many professional riders. In 2008 Reynolds joined forces with legendary carbon fibre engineer Paul Lew. Paul's ideas and innovation have helped transform the way Reynolds manufactures carbon wheels, from layup to moulds. Today, the sole focus of Reynolds Cycling is to produce the best carbon wheels available. When you ride a Reynolds wheel you're experiencing the heritage and pedigree so many champions have trusted to carry them to victory.

Magazine reviews for Reynolds Attack Carbon Clincher Wheelset 2012
Review from Bikeradar
A superb carbon climber that outperforms most aluminium wheels of equivalent price
In conclusion...
What Reynolds has tried to achieve with its Attack wheels is to produce an affordable carbon wheel that will rival top end aluminium clinchers in a similar price range. Essentially the Attacks are a less expensive version of Reynolds' top end 1400g MV32C wheels (£1499).
The rims on the Attacks are made from unidirectional carbon fibre with a scrim layer on the braking surface that improves stopping. With a different lay-up to its more expensive big brother, the Attack rim comes out of the mould a mere 30g heavier. Another notable feature is that Reynolds says you can inflate tyres up to 150psi, which will please those who like a firm ride.
The rims are 32mm in depth, which means they slice through the air, especially on downhill and fast, flat sections, yet they're light enough at 400g to climb like a mountain goat. They're laced into Reynolds-specific hubs using DT Swiss spokes which look good in black, but a bladed version might have made these wheels even more special as well as faster. The internal nipples make truing a bit fiddly, but hopefully the robustness and durability of a carbon rim should help keep this to a minimum.
Up front there are 20 spokes radially laced and 24 on the rear, two-cross on the drive side and radial on the other. This keeps them stiff both when climbing and hammering into corners on descents. Taiwanese hubs help keep the cost down.
They come with sealed bearings and an aluminium freehub body with six individually sprung pawls, and they tip the scales at 120g for the front and 250g for the rear. As far as generic hubs go, these are well finished and should prove reliable, but only time will tell.
Once on the bike the Attacks feel light and when you start climbing they feel super stiff like a dedicated aluminium version, yet these rims are around 100g lighter than most. There are lighter carbon rims out there but they certainly don't have the same ride feel in the hills as the Attack.
Once on the descent they cut through the air for a little extra free time with their 32mm aero shape. And to add to the ride feel, the carbon helps to soak up the road buzz with its damping effect giving a smooth ride with less feedback - a benefit certainly noticeable on longer rides. Braking is fine in the dry although somewhat noisy at times. But you will notice the need for increased braking distances in the wet.
Reynolds has achieved its goal of producing an affordable carbon climbing wheel that not only equals but beats most of its aluminium rivals at this price while offering a great ride - and let's not forget they also have major bling factor. At 1485g for the pair we think the big cost saving over the MV32C wheels is a no brainer for all apart from the biggest card-carrying weight weenies with deep pockets. We love these wheels and the overall ride feel is amazing. The weight isn't far off many tubs yet you still get the great choice of tyres associated with clincher wheels. It's good to see the carbon specific brake blocks you'll need come in the box, as do skewers, tyre levers and rim tape, so they're ready to go immediately.

Leicester City Cricket Academy are taking major steps to improve the techniques of young batsmen against spin bowling.
England's Test players showed plenty of frailties against quality spinners in the last few weeks as they slipped to a 3-0 series defeat against Pakistan.
But today, a party of 15 young players from the Academy fly out to India for 12 days of intensive work on playing spin.
They will be based at the Karnataka Institute of Cricket at Bangalore.
They will train with local bowlers, especially spinners, and have individual sessions, including video analysis, with specialist coaches.
City Cricket Academy director Don Bhagawati has arranged for two first-class batsmen – Karnataka captain Bharat Chipley and Manish Pandey, who is based at the Bangalore Academy – to talk to the touring party.
The group includes 15-year-old William Hunt, who has won a free scholarship on the trip.
He was picked out from a short-list as the most promising young player at the Academy by independent adjudicator Kevin Innes, the former Northamptonshire and Sussex all-rounder, who is now a coach.
Hunt, a wicket-keeper/batsman, has been playing at the Academy since the age of seven. He is so dedicated to the game that former Leicestershire all-rounder Laurie Potter organises early-morning practice sessions at Leicester Grammar School, where Hunt is a student.
Potter said: "Hunty is a student of the game. He opens the batting, he bowls off-spin and has developed a doosra, and he keeps wicket for the County under-15s.
"We have four or five lads who are very keen and come in at six o'clock on Thursday mornings and Hunty is very much a driving force behind that."
Bhagawati said: "The first player to win this prize in 2006 was Aadil Ali, who has made it to the County academy.
"It's a great learning experience to tour the sub-continent.
"There seems to be a fear of playing quality spin and, hopefully, this will go a long way towards players overcoming that."
The touring party comprises juniors (aged 13-14) and seniors (17-19).
Top young Leicestershire batsman Shiv Thakor, a student at Uppingham School, is also going to gain some extra practice.
The party will also include former Leicestershire opening batsman Trevor Ward, now a coach at Uppingham, who will exchange ideas on technique and conditions with the Indian coaches.

Personally, I have long been of the opinion that the Magic would not trade Dwight Howard at the trade deadline, and I think irrespective of recent media stories that Dwight is determined to get to the Nets come the summer; I still think the Magic won't trade Dwight.
The first thing people need to realize is that by nature of their jobs, the basketball side (coaching staff, front office) and the corporate side (team president, sales, marketing, etc) will oftentimes be at odds over what they think is best for the team and which direction they would like to go. For the basketball side - they are judged solely by their win-loss record (and maybe to a smaller extent how they develop the young players on the roster) while the corporate side are judged like anyone in business - how much money can you make, how well did you market the product, how much interest have you created, etc. So by nature of the differing job responsibilities, they will oftentimes be at odds with each other.
So while the basketball side (Van Gundy, Otis Smith) may tell anyone who will listen that they want to trade Dwight Howard immediately for whatever package they can get - this has to do with minimizing distractions within the team and being left with a foundation for next season. Yet the corporate side of the business by nature will be less concerned with next season - as their time is now. And selling/marketing a team that is in third place in the East (and last night's OT win over the Heat make this an even bigger gap) with the best big man in the NBA and a chance to make a deep playoffs or even Finals run trumps their concern about the future. Winning a championship sells tickets and sponsorships in advance of free agency. And remember, 95% of professional sports teams are not owned by former players or coaches, but by businessmen. This fact alone is why Dwight Howard is still a member of the Magic and not the Nets.
I understand and can emphasize with the basketball side. I really can. This entire situation not only creates a distraction that has constantly surrounded the team (and if he is not traded - will continue to surround the trade until July 1) but makes a mockery of their sport. And quite honestly, if you are evaluated based upon your win-loss record and you believe that Dwight is going to bolt in Free Agency - do you prefer to start all over with that roster and a late first round pick and some money in free agency (which clearly Otis Smith has not spent very well in years past) or do you prefer to restart with Brook Lopez, draft picks and maybe even Marshon Brooks? It's a no brainer.
But if you are Alex Martins (and DeVos) you look at what cards you have on the table at the moment; the top Center in the NBA, the #3 record in the East in what has been a crazy, unpredictable season, and you just came off a big win against the Heat. The playoffs are a lock (ie...playoff revenues, merchandise, concessions, etc) and the Cardinals are a very recent example of the potential benefit of NOT trading a pending superstar Free Agent and making a run to win the championship. Any Finals run (unless the team is located in NJ) generates much greater fan interest which leads to increased merchandise and sponsorship sales along with increase in season ticket sales. Fans want to be involved with a winning franchise. And on the flip side, ticket sales will actually increase following the trade deadline if Dwight is still on the Magic - as fans will want to get their last looks at him in Orlando. And, who knows - winning championship could lead to a change of heart for Dwight.
So while I understand that the Magic are truly between a rock and a hard place and that there are differing feelings/emotions/thought processes between the basketball side and the business side - I think ultimately the business side wins out and they roll the dice and make an effort to win a Championship and worry about the future this summer.
And as a Nets fan - that is EXACTLY what I want to see. The Nets doing nothing with Orlando between now and tomorrow afternoon and instead focusing on trading for a large expiring (a la Boris Diaw) and freeing up the contracts of Jordan Farmar and Johan Petro next season. In a perfect world - but nobody is this lucky - we would be able to move Shawne Williams as well. And while losing that Houston pick is not ideal in this draft - the draft is still a crapshoot (I know everyone is super confident following Marshon Brooks but the draft by nature is a crapshoot) and removing that cap hold could be the difference between Dwight and Brook and Dwight and filler.

Do you ever really get over your first love? There's no research or stats to back up that claim.
How about after years of being married to someone else, having kids and losing contact for more than 20 years? That's exactly what happened to Andrew and Doris Daniel in Smithville.
Recently the two got married in Americus, and it happened right on time. "I'm 79 years old, And She is 78 years old. We're nine years apart. I mean nine months," said New Wife Doris Daniels.
Andrew and Doris Daniel may forget their age. But they always remembered the love they had for one another. "I always cared for him. Even though I was married; I still thought about him," she said.
The two grew sweet on each other, at Stanley High school more than 60 years ago. "I use to love to watch her on stage at school. It would be six of them dancing and kicking all over the place," said New Husband Andrew Daniels.
After losing contact for more than 20 years. They reunited and tied the knot. "We thought let's get married and stay together forever," she said.
The Daniels share that made for TV love, like on the Dick Van Dyke Show. Their union makes a one big Brady Bunch. "I have 10 kids, 20 grand kids, and eight great grand kids," she said.
"I have nine kids and 20 grands. I also have 12 great grands," he said.
Back in the 50's in Americus, boys would play the sitting game to try and win the girl. "They would try and out sit each other," she said.
Her new beau, the Korean War Veteran himself didn't win that war. "I didn't feel too comfortable about it. I couldn't believe it. My best friend told me she had got married," he said.
Over a half of century apart and to them; it was well worth the wait.

WASHINGTON — After saying he "can't defend" Rep. Todd Akin's suggestion that women can avoid getting pregnant from rape, Mitt Romney stepped up his rebuke yesterday when he called on Akin to drop out of the Missouri Senate race. But archives from Romney's previous presidential bid show that the Massachusetts Republican has supported the person who is the source of Akin's theory, Dr. Jack C. Willke, the father of the anti-abortion movement.
A physician and former president of the National Right to Life Committee, Willke was an " important surrogate" for Romney's 2008 presidential bid. Willke is the oft-cited source of the theory that rape-related pregnancies are "rare." The theory is sometimes used by anti-abortion advocates to argue that abortion laws should not contain exceptions for rape or incest.
Willke says trauma caused by violent rape shuts down a woman's reproductive system. That theory has been widely rejected in modern medicine.
Romney in 2007 touted Willke's endorsement of his presidential campaign.
"Dr. Willke is a leading voice within the pro-life community and will be an important surrogate for Gov. Romney's pro-life and pro-family agenda," the Romney campaign said in an October 2007 statement.
"I am proud to have the support of a man who has meant so much to the pro-life movement in our country," Romney said. "He knows how important it is to have someone in Washington who will actively promote pro-life policies. Policies that include more than appointing judges who will follow the law but also opposing taxpayer-funded abortion and partial-birth abortion."
Willke has not weighed in on the presidential race this time around, but he has rushed to Akin's defense, declaring "the pro-life movement and I unequivocally stand with Rep. Akin."
"How could we not?" Willke wrote of the Missouri congressman. "Rep. Akin will make the U.S. Senate a safer place for the most vulnerable in our nation."

A jury sentenced Rickey Cummings to death on Wednesday afternoon for the murders of Tyus Sneed and Keenan Hubert. The judge said Cummings' death will be by lethal injection, and an appeal for the decision is mandatory, with a court-appointed attorney for Cummings.
On Friday, the jury convicted Cummings of capital murder for the shooting at Waco's Lakewood Villas on March 28, 2011.
Before jurors left the courtroom on Wednesday, the judge thanked them for their service and the "heavy responsibility" they had.
In order to decide on the death penalty, the jurors had to answer yes to the first two special issues and no to the third. The first issue was whether or not Cummings is a threat to society. The second, did Cummings actually cause of the deaths of Hubert and Sneed or anticipate their deaths? The third question was whether or not any mitigating circumstance from evidence, Cummings' character or moral culpability warrants life in prison.
Attorney Russ Hunt Sr. asked Judge Strother to poll the jury after the sentencing; all jurors agreed they answered yes to the first two issues and no to the last, arriving at the death penalty.
More than a dozen law enforcement officials were in the courtroom for security, around and between the victims' and Cummings' families when the sentencing was announced. Judge Ralph Strother told the families to remain composed and that any outcries would require him to remove people from the courtroom.
Six people gave victim impact statements, including Hubert's and Sneed's fathers.
"I see you like tattoos. You like needles? You're going to have one waiting for you," said Hubert's father, Artie Matthews, referring to lethal injection.
"Do you know what it's like finding your own child riddled with bullets?" Sneed asked. "May God have mercy on your soul."
Marion Bible, who was wounded in the 2011 shooting, stared Cummings down and spoke to him.
"You messed up my whole life," Bible said, adding that he walks around Waco constantly watching his back, "I don't feel sorry for you. You didn't feel sorry for me."
The other shooting survivor, Deontrae Majors was working, so his mother read her son's statement.
"We wanted to grow old together, be fathers together," Majors wrote, of his best friend, Keenan Hubert.
Majors wrote that he can't sleep because he hears Hubert and Sneed screaming for their lives.
Hubert's cousin, Aphtan Daniella, showed Cummings a picture of Hubert's son, who wasn't even one year old when his father was killed.
"You're going to have to answer to God," Daniella said, calling him the son of the devil. "You're not a man. You're a coward."
Cummings shook his attorneys' hands, smiled slightly and told his family, "Don't cry."
"They convicted him, in my opinion, on 'He said, she said,'" Cummings' grandmother Erma Richards said.
"I knew today coming into this - I told my family, 'Be prepared, because I am. They're going to come back with the death penalty,'" Elma Richards, Cummings' mother said.
During the trial prosecutors argued Cummings thought Hubert had killed his friend Emuel "Man Man" Bowers III in a Waco park in 2010, and Cummings was seeking retaliation.
Three more men are awaiting their capital murder trials for their alleged roles in the shooting.

Observer review
the observer Sun 23 June 2013
One swallow does not make a summer; one good quality does not make a good man; and not even a thousand good similes make a good novel. Though The Flamethrowers contains such fertile subject matter as political activism, motorcycle racing, the New York art scene in the 1970s and fascist Italy in the 1940s, Rachel Kushner's blazing poetic gifts still fail to give it life.
The main character is Reno, 23 years old and weirdly guileless. Her mother was a switchboard operator, her uncles and cousins shot guns and smelt of gasoline. At the start of the novel, Reno rides a Moto Valera motorcycle. "My hands had reduced themselves to two functions, throttle and brake," she says. As she thunders along the highway, she thinks: "There is no fixed reality, only objects in contrast." Her story begins when she sells the bike and moves to New York with a film camera and "little else".
Under Reno's gaze, New York in the late 1970s is a listless place. There are prostitutes and drunks, there are "Sorry, no credit" signs in the bars and beneath them people tell casual, brutal anecdotes about abandoned babies or talk art with the dead-eyed lassitude of types in a Fellini film. Of her closest friend, Giddle, Reno decides "there might be reason to doubt everything she said", and when Ronnie the artist makes a pass at her, Reno says she doesn't remember his name. "'That is funny,' he whispered back, but did not offer it." As if things weren't colourless enough, the weather gets bad too: "rain and then sirens". "Life and its emergencies," Reno thinks.
It's an estranging first-person narrative with minimal plot and scant emotional range. There are other stories to break it up, but the tough, third-person documentary-style chapters about Valera, founder of the Moto Valera company, do little to kiss it into life. Throughout, Kushner's gifts as a poet war with the more practical intentions of the novelist like perfectly rendered pearls in a life-size portrait, her specificity draws the eye too close and muddles the focus on the whole.
The most successfully realised section takes place in Italy, at the family home of Reno's aristocratic boyfriend, Sandro, son of Valera. Here, Kushner is all novelist, portraying the rich with a cruel rapture that bears comparison with Alan Hollinghurst's. Suddenly, her characters breathe. Even the inscrutable Reno enjoys a moment of primal conquest. Up in their bedroom, as Sandro shoos a moth out of the window, she thinks, "He didn't care about moths. He did it for me. I was the only American girl here, I reminded myself as he chased it around the room in his underwear. The only one."
Sadly, the story heads back to Reno's cerebral and weary New York. At an art show party on a roof, her friend Dogg's band Hookers and Children are playing. Returning to the old wan mode of observation, Reno thinks, "Dogg wasn't bad. In fact he was good." When she finds herself "alone again, like when I first arrived in New York", her insights are meagre: "It was a different alone," she thinks. "Things had happened."
The Flamethrowers has feisty thematic ambitions: Kushner attempts to link early- and late-20th-century movements in art and political activism; there are reflections on time, speed and subjectivity. But for such elevated ideas to belong in a novel rather than an essay, they would have required more than an embroidery of description to suture them to the story. Despite Kushner's immense talents, what she has not achieved in this book is the incarnation of her ideas in character and world that make novels so engrossing to read and so very hard to write.
Guardian review
the guardian Wed 05 June 2013
One of the thrills of riding a motorbike is the sensation of being carried by a machine far more powerful than you. This is how Rachel Kushner's exhilarating second novel moves: deftly, and at great velocity, but with power and precision. It's so good, it's a little frightening.
It begins with two motorcycle races, on different continents and decades, but each one is a point of ignition for the rest of the book. The first is in turn-of-the-century Alexandria, where a teenage boy, libidinous and hungry for initiation into the adult world, sees a motorbike for the first time. When he watches the object of his affections mount this contraption and embrace its rider "man and bike and Marie making an obscene double-humped centaur's profile" he feels both sexual betrayal and a dangerous elation. "'The world is unknown to me,' he said out loud. 'It is unknown.'" Soon, he's infiltrated a gang of motorcyclists and is racing through the streets with them: "The night felt like it would burn. It was burning. Why had he waited so long? He surged into it."
This is Valera, who goes on to found a motorcycle company. A few pages and many decades later, it's on a Valera motorcycle that Reno, a young woman from Nevada, races across the saltflats. Like Valera, she's surging into her own future, but her ride is both sport and art: she's there to challenge the land speed record, but also to photograph the lines her bike scores across the terrain.
As the book roams to the rubber plantations of Brazil, for example, where Valera tyres are made its various settings create a kind of narrative prism, refracting ideas through time and place. Its most substantial and indelible section though, is the downtown art world of 1970s New York. Newly arrived, Reno wanders through this "strange and wondrous and lonely" city, sensing that "what occurred did so because I was open to it, and not because fate and I met at a certain angle".
Kushner has said that "fiction is a space in which you can use naivety to bump up against ambiguities", and this is how Reno functions. Her passivity is partly a narrative necessity, in that we observe this world through her eyes. They are a bewildering crowd, these older, more successful artists, all of whom seem engaged in a complex yet codified wrangling of ego, sexual politics and aesthetic allegiances.
She observes, as one character puts it, like "a little green-eyed cat", "a cat studying mice", but she is also observing herself, a young woman as an object. "I didn't move here to fall in love," she tells Ronnie Fontaine, a magnetic and morally questionable artist. As she says it, though, she feels as if "he'd set a trap of some kind. Because I didn't move here not to fall in love. The desire for love is universal, but that doesn't mean it's worthy of respect. It's not admirable to want love, it just is."
"It just is" also describes the nature of her affair with Sandro Valera, heir to the motorcycle empire. It's as she falls in love with him that she realises, "it was not the case that one thing morphed into another, child into woman. You remained the person you were before things happened to you. [...] You also became the person to whom certain things happened."
There's a quality of iridescence to the writing, particularly in these sections, which isn't just about the lustre of the prose, but the way in which passages seem many-coloured. One thing doesn't morph into another, but many things exist at the same time: tilted one way you see one colour, tilted another, the colour changes.
Later, Reno finds herself once again a "person to whom things happened" when she ends up in Rome. Here, the creative radicalism of downtown New York is matched with the political radicalism of Italy's Years of Lead the city is in a ferment, on the edge of revolution, and when she's caught up in a march she realises she's both witness and participant.
This is a book supercharged with ideas futurism, fascism, Autonomia, industrialisation, American land art, pornography but Kushner's greatest feat is to pull off an overarching radiant coherence without anything ever feeling pat. It's deeply satisfying, too, that a novel so engaged with radicalism doesn't feel the need to experiment radically with form. A formally conventional narrative that's imaginatively incendiary, it makes any fretting over the state of the novel look plain silly.
Early on, Reno is impressed by the "blithe declaration Ronnie once made that he hoped to photograph every living person. Sandro said it was Ronnie's best work and something on the level of a poem: a gesture with no possible rebuttal." This novel can't be mistaken for a gesture. It's also too subtle and too honest to end with an echo of its beginnings to accelerate to some sort of blazing final crash, metaphorical or otherwise. Its ending is radically ambiguous, the way life is.

Personal Info
Straight-married human male living in Earth's Brooklyn region. Native to the larger John Waters / The Wire metropolitan area. Primarily superpower is ABAO (a cocktail of ADD, Bipolar Disorder, Asperger's Syndrome, and OCD).
Trade: Entrepreneur specializing in the creation and popularization of new, high quality customer experiences.
Entrepreneur Bio
I got my start in 2000 when the founders of CollegeHumor brought me in to do frontend design. I soon became a partner in the company, playing the CTO role but also contributing heavily to product and editorial. We launched several other properties, mostly failures, but two successes: First, Busted Tees, then, Vimeo, which I started as an art project. We sold the whole company (called Connected Ventures) in 2006.
I was fired in late 2007 and went on to start a music company called Normative, which put out some great music with awesome artists. I was not experienced or devoted enough to succeed. I shut it down in late 2009.
For the next year and a half, I worked on some solo projects, including Hybrowse and Pummelvision. The latter taught me that no matter how much discipline and energy I mustered, I simply couldn't build a company by myself.
In mid-2011, I started putting together a new company that would generate other companies. Elepath was born on March 3rd, 2012, creating dozens of prototypes, two of which are now maturing into their own companies: Exposure and Keezy. Sometime after they "leave the house", we'll hire the next wave of Elepath developers, applying the lessons learned so far. I plan to lead Elepath for ten total years - until March 3rd, 2022.
Investor Bio
In addition to creating & running companies, I sometimes invest in and advise other peoples'. I typically get involved in the earliest stages, helping the founders aim their energy in the right direction.
There's some tension around the fact that as an entrepreneur, I public decry the ideal of selling a company, while as an investor I'm proud to have supported companies like Tumblr, Bleacher Report, and MakerBot, whose combined sales account for the majority of my net worth.
In addition to consumer tech, I've gotten involved in several food companies. I'm a partner in Mast Brothers Chocolate, the restaurant Egg, and HowGood, a company that rates grocery quality.
I am not currently seeking new investments and unfortunately cannot reply to incoming pitches.
Productivity Tools
I've build two productivity tools which I use constantly and update from time to time. There are NowDoThis, a task manager that focuses you on one thing at a time, and Standards, a system for managing your habits on a weekly basis.

Deathcore style vocals
0:11 - 0:15
0:43 - 0:45 (really any part of the song)
How do they achieve those types of vocals?
The low in that Oceano song from 0:43-0:45 Is a mid-low(depending on your vocal range)false chord scream with an added filter. I don't have a name for the filter he uses but I can tell you how to create it(or at the very least, something like it) Remember, no two vocalists' screams will ever sound exactly the same-just like with singing. If you are trying to sound like a specific screamer, don't bother. You can try to sound like them, but in the end you won't really be a skillful vocalist until you develop your own style and sound, because developing your own sound is what forces you to learn different techniques through experimentation.
When doing a low false chord scream, put the tip of your tongue on the roof of your mouth. You know how on the roof of your mouth, your mouth sort of curves upward from right behind your teeth to about halfway down the roof of your mouth? Put the tip of your tongue at the bottom of that curve(halfway down the roof of your mouth).
Now instead of having your mouth open normal with your lips kind of in a relaxed state, tighten them(kind of like you are trying to make your lips like a fish's). Make the hole that your lips create as small as possible with as little air coming out of your mouth as you can and then push your false chord scream as hard as you can.
The final step is to keep your tongue where it is, but lean it to the right a bit so that you can feel your right molars on the roof of your mouth with the right side of your tongue. This will achieve a reasonable volume and will give you a nasally filter that Oceano's vocalist uses from 0:43-0:45 in the song you linked to.
It will sound very gritty(which you may like) but if you want it clean, well that is post production sound engineering stuff my friend. Either that, or he is actually doing inhales, which I strongly advise against due to the fact that they are the most unhealthy and unsafe type of vocals you can do.
I couldn't agree more about developing my own style. I dont want to sound exactly like some other vocalist, but that is a neat little technique that I might be able to fit into a few songs. I am going to be sure to try this out whenever I practice my vocals next.
Do you have any tips on holding notes? That is, I seem to run out of breath pretty quickly when recording. I'm pushing the air from my diaphragm, so my throat never hurts, but I find myself taking breaths more often than I feel like I should be. I'd like to be able to do vocals for longer with less breaths.
Breathing technique is something I myself have trouble with man. I try to take any pauses in my songs to breath in as much as possible and just scream on one breath through the a whole screaming part, if I have to take a breath in a screaming part, I try to do it between words. That'll help with performances but other than that I don't think I can help much.

Here are the two beauties that arrived on January 26th,
Given the economic situation, I had not foreseen to buy any new watches in 2009. But who would have thought - Tim really made my day! I was so excited, that I did not even consider to create a unpacking striptease series. I just cut the envelope open and started to photograph right away!
And Tim, being the thoughtful guy as usual, had of course picked these beauties based on the fact that these movements were still missing in my collection. Thank you Sir!

Max Payne 3 delayed till May, pre-order deadline extended
Been waiting for Max Payne 3? If so, it looks like you'll have to wait a little longer. Publisher Take-Two has delayed the release of the shooter till May 2012 – two months later than originally expected.
Gaming fans often see delays as a bad sign, however Take Two says there is nothing to worry about, and that the game has been pushed back to "ensure that Max Payne 3 delivers the highest quality." There is some good news, fans now have more time to get their pre-order in.
Max Payne 3 Collectors Edition available for pre-order
For Xbox 360 and PS3 those new dates are 15th May for North America and 18th May internationally. For PC gamers Max Payne 3 will hit the shops on 29th May and 1st June internationally.
The third part in the third-person shooter trilogy was due to release in March 2012. But, Take-Two believes the wait will be worth it.
"We do not take changes to our release schedule lightly, and this short delay will ensure that Max Payne 3 delivers the highest quality, groundbreaking entertainment experience that is expected from our Company," said Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Take-Two.
Of course, another benefit to the delay is that Max Payne fans now have 2nd April to order the stunning Max Payne 3 Collectors Edition for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
The bundle features a 10-inch tall Max Payne statue, prints, Classic Multiplayer Character Pack with eight playable characters for Max Payne 3 multiplayer, Disorderly Conduct Multiplayer Pack with extra weapons and the Max Payne 3 Official Soundtrack.
Back in October we visited the Rockstar Games' offices to see Max Payne in action first-hand. It is already looking very impressive. Come May, our hopes will be set high for what Rockstar Games told us is the best looking game it has ever made. Will you be pre-ordering?
