Flipper (I)
Flipper was played by five female dolphins; Susie, Patty Squirt, Scottie and Kathy - female because they were less aggressive, and therefore less likely to have scratches on their skin from altercations with other males. The original 1960s Flipper show was filmed in a time before there were laws against capturing wild dolphins for entertainment ... See full bio »

Suddenly they were shaken awake by the wail of police sirens and the rumble of a helicopter above their suburban Southern California home. A criminal must be on the loose, they thought.

Borrowed the PS3 version from a friend last week. Despite it being 20 hours long I managed to power through it in 2 sittings. This does not happen. I was going to pick up my own copy because it's honestly one of the best games I've ever played. Glad I hesitated though because now I'll finally have something to show off my shiny new PS4 with.
Funny story though, I was playing it last weekend and my wife came in and asked me what I was watching. I showed her it was a game and that I was actually controlling it and her draw actually dropped. :D

Connor Evans - Home to the West
Artist: Connor Evans
Producer: Tellingbeatz
Album: #GreenLightLife
Avg Rating: 4.6 ( 17 votes )
Way back in 1865, long before B.I.G took a trip back to Cali, American newspaper editor Horace Greeley once said, "Go West, young man." A great sometime later, Connor Evans is following in the footsteps of Greeley and Biggie and is headed back Home to the West. The Redlands, California native isn't taking a car or flight like most, however, as he prefers to rough it, walking and hitchhiking his way back to the crib. As he travels, the emcee graces a Biggie-sampled, Tellingbeatz production with his refreshing, sung/rapped style. Evans' vocals might have a slight pop lean, but there is no denying the heartfelt and soulful vibes that he emits on this hometown ode. This effort will not be placed on Evans' forthcoming, full-length summer album The Road to Coachella, but it can be found on his Booth-hosted EP #GreenLightLife, available for stream of free download.

Sep 25, 2010Total disaster of a launch. Was so looking forward to this game. Game is good but is so full of bugs, don't they have Beta Testers? Worst of all is the corrupt save bug. I played it for 2 days then started it up again and got the corrupt auto save error. Which, because there is only one save slot, causes u to lose all championship progress and forces you to start at the very beginning. Basically unplayable, do u really want to go through 18 races only to find you lose everything and have to start again. Unforgivable. So what I have here is a game in which I can race single Grand Prix's, do time trials and multiplayer. Think I'll go back to Forza 2.… Expand
Sep 23, 2010When i first fired up the game, i did not knew what to expect, as i know codemasters from their superb rally games, where dirt 2 is being my favorite one, and in the old day's i remember some toy cars in and around the house, where i first saw it on the sega megadrive. so far, i only played codemasters games that could do drifts. so how's formula 1's grip driving going to work ? after a 2 hours ride in one row, i can safely say they did it. just wonderfull. and for the novice players who also like to be in a formula 1 season, rejoyce, as codemasters have put in a lot of options that can be turned on, off, or somewhat in the middle. like auto braking, a row of arrows showing the proper racing line, and turns to red if you enter the corner to fast. also a option for a less nervous car in the shape of stabillity controll, and the computer AI can be adjusted.
so, everything's in there, from the options, to the proper feeling of the drive, but is this game trying to be different ? well, for me, yes. i never have played a formula 1 racer where you get interviewed if you placed 3'rd or better, and you have a lovely girl in your trailer doing all the office stuff, like sweettalking other teams if you want to race for the bigger players on the grid. you will recognize the menue structure, witch, like in DiRT 2, keeps you in the formula 1 mood, as there's people outside your trailer talking, taking notes, and there's the few members of the press that sometimes calls you out for a small interview. those interviews must not be taken lightly, as what you say to them will have a effect on the team. so trashtalking about your co driver won't be tolerated.
ok, lets talk numbers: 19 tracks, the full racing grid, tons of options, and the feeling of being there. lets do the proper review:
graphics: 9.0: considering the huge amount of F1 cars on the track, the trackside is still very detailed, and even the early tracks youll race looks just like a replica of the real track. with grass sticking out instead of being a texture, and even buildings far away are in proper 3D, with details like balkony's and airconditioning. there's only one thing missing, and that's the publick, they are there, but i expected some flash photography, and maybe some confetti, but that's jsut a minor gripe. with a more than solid framerate, this complets the picture. properly done, and no real faults.
sound: 8.5: not all the car's sounds differently, but play this trough a stereo instead of the speakers from a lcd/plasma/led tv, and youll be more than just content. in some cases you feel like being there. sure, not everything is just as swift as the graphics are, like when a car passes you, the engine note does not always swell up properly, but in the heat of the batle, who cares? to bad the music only plays when youre in the menue, as the race only has the surrounding noice, and engine notes. but that may be what the programmers liked the most, as a proper F1 car does not have a stereo.
gameplay: 9.5: with so many options, there's bound to be a way the game feels like you want it to. exept when you want to drift, but then you've got the wrong game. this game feels fast, has wickedly responsive controlls, and just somehow they managed to get the racing feeling transferred to both the MS steering wheel as well as the normal game pad. just love it. hope they will make a sequel.
lastabillity: 9.5: for me, this last longer than the 2010 racing season. with 19 tracks (with variable weather), all the F1 cars, online play, and lots of game modes (time trial, single race, single season, and the big game mode), this game will last me a very long time. i don't mind driving 7 seasons, like i indeed just started.
totall score: 9.5: i don't dare give it a 10, as if codemasters will create a sequel, and use the knowledge of what they did with this game, and what input they might get from players, i guess the sequell may get a little bit better. so that's why i went for 9.5. i'm a racing nut tough, so not everyone will agree. it's a matter of taste. if you love F1, you love this. this ranks from sim racer to sim race teacher (i'm glad there's only auto brake, not auto stearing, as then there would be no reason to really participate :-P). i'm more than impressed with the final product. it took a long time to make, but the end result is done exelent. two thumbs up for codemasters.… Expand
Sep 22, 2010This is a brilliant game, Codemasters have done this justice. If I did have one gripe with the game it would be nice to see some in game commentary from the BBC team, but other than that...the game play, layout, graphics are all fantastic. Cant wait to finish work today to get back into it
Sep 25, 2010Overall this is a sold racing experience. The sim racers will certainly niggle about some of the handling issues, but even the developers said on a scale of 1-10 for sim handling this game was probably a 7, and I'd agree with that. It seems to me to strike a perfect balance of being fun to drive, challenging, but not impossibly hard.
Graphically it's probably not quite as sharp as Dirt 2, (playing on Xbox 360) though with 24 cars on the track there's a lot more going on under the hood as it were, so it's a minor issue. It's still a great looking game. In terms of sound it would seem that the other cars are perhaps a bit loud relative to yours, but they sound about like you'd expect them to.
On the track, the racing is fun, if not spot on. The AI seem sometimes too slow through some of the twisty bits, and perhaps unrealistically fast in some of the long straights. The result is satisfying on balance though, as you'll figure out where to take advantage of them for your overtakes, though that might not always be where you'd expect to see it in a real race.
The career mode is compelling, the zombie agent awaiting you in your trailer notwithstanding, with all the practice sessions and qualifying runs you'd expect, and all customizable if you'd rather run a short weekend than the whole shebang. There are some issues that do hold the game back slightly, bugs which are well documented on the CM F1 message boards, but bear mentioning. There is an issue with the pits where if you pit in a crowd of AI cars you will be held up while everyone else exits the pits. You can adjust your strategy accordingly, and unless you get caught out in a sudden shower this shouldn't be a gamebreaker. There also seems to be an issue with fuel simulation, where the AI cars don't seem to be weighed down with fuel loads, allowing them to outpace you by a considerable margin in the early stages of a longer race. Again, since refueling is not allowed in F1, simply turning off fuel simulation is an option to counter this issue. Hopefully both of these situations can be rectified in a patch.
There are some other issues that have been raised by users, such as tire punctures being too common, but having run several hundred laps without a puncture myself this seems to be either an isolated issue, or a case of over aggressive driving.
On balance, this is an entertaining, though not perfect, racing game. It was aiming for a sweetspot somewhere between simulation and arcade, and at least in my console racing experience hits that target quite nicely. If you're looking for an iRacing experience this may not suit you, while if you're looking for Burnout type racing it may likewise leave you frustrated. If you're looking for a fun racing game in the world of F1 that strikes a balance, and gives you enough options to find the right difficulty for you, this is the ticket.… Expand
Sep 26, 2010This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Il miglior gioco di F1 esistente sulle console di nuova generazione.Immediato, immersivo,appagante.Il motore grafico è eccezionale e i circuiti disegnati alla perfezione ( vedi MonteCarlo ).
I comandi risultano essere ben calibrati sia con il joypad che con il volante.… Expand
Oct 11, 2010In short words, this game is a BETA. The damage system is worse than psx games, your car is practically a tank even with full damage enabled and you can only break the fornt wing. The IA is stupid, CPU controlled cars runs in the same way in non-timed laps or even with damages, the IA is inconstat between tracks, some are really hard and other really easy, and additionally his qualify are fakes, you can find more info about that in lot of websites. The penalty system is also stupid and ignores a lot of F1 rules and also there is no safety car. The car physics are unrealistic even with full simulation enabled, if your car is spining simply push the brake and it magically aims to the right direction again in milisecons, you can also full brake for long without skid, and if you full throttle there is some kind or awful auto-clutch.
The pad controls are bad calibrated, with both xbox and ps3 controllers, the direction respond in abrupt way and the throttle only respond in the last half range.
There is no telemetry to know how good are yours car adjusts so isn't possibe to fine tune your car. Online play works leaky or simply doesn't work.
You want more? waste your money in this game and you'll find thousands of bugs making this game unplayable and a lot of unfinished stuff.… Expand
Sep 26, 2010A good first attempt by Codemasters to bring the world of F1 to all game platforms . There is plenty to like here - good graphics , awesome engine sounds ,immersive career mode with tons of options to tweak the difficulty level , simple but effective and stable online play over xbox Live .
...but the game alas has it's problems - The frame rate is unstable at times , lacking some surprising things
like commentary or split-time info while racing , some obvious bugs which really should have been addressed before release .
A good racer then but not quite up to the standard of Forza 3 or their own Dirt 2 just yet .… Expand
Sep 25, 2010Great game - without doubt. It's very, VERY fast so when you are driving you must be in 100% in the game. Driving feels realistic (if you can think how's driving feels travelling 350 km/h in a car). Look & feel in the game - great - it looks like good old game from Codemasters. My score 9 because of three things - why the hell when you're going to pit stop other drivers pass you through you - like they were ghost cars, but during the race?! - then when you are in the pit your pitman will hold you long enough for all other drivers to pass you ... great, simply great and last thing - why in short racing weekend the "Q" part is shortened to only 1 step - I know it's because "short" weekend... but it looks weird. I hope that those things will be covered in updates... especially first two - if yes I'll definetely score this game 10.… Expand
Sep 29, 2010I got the game for my Xbox360 with high hopes and great expectations. I must say that I was not disappointed. The game presentation is very good, graphics is very good, gameplay (driving physics) is fantastic, the weather system is fantastic and the sound of the cars is great. The game modes on offer are good, and the career mode is fantastic. My first team is Lotus and as in real life I always keep a wary eye on my teammate. Driving for this team I do not hope to win the championship, but beating my teammate gives me great satisfaction as I am the number 2 driver in the team. Also taking part in all sessions over a race weekend is exiting as there is always a sense of competition and excitement.
I do not want to give away spoilers, so I will say that since F1 97 on PlayStation 1, this is the best F1 game ever (on console) as it captures the same excitement of competing (as in F1 97) and greatly improves on it. Believe me I have played them all. Go get the game if you like F1.… Expand
Oct 1, 2010The graphics and sounds are very good. The handling of the cars feels right (not that I have any first hand experience). Actually taking part in races is great fun, along with qualifying and practice to improve you car and lap times during the season. It's just sometimes you can get held in the pits as the rest of the field is let through by your pit crew or sometimes the AI cars ignore mandatory pit stops. There are no real game breakers that you can't work around. It's just it would be better if these issues had been picked up before release. The engineer can be annoying too by giving you irrelevant or wrong information from time.
A good first attempt from Codemasters, but a lack of polish on the out of **** areas of the career mode and a few annoying bugs and omissions stop this from being a great game.… Expand
Oct 2, 2010This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just great ! Incredible graphics, speed sensations, sound...
Online mode is crazy (no bas driver at yet).
A few bugs, but game experience will make you forget them !… Expand
Oct 13, 2010I'm sorry but for any good things I would talk about in this game they are FAR outweighed by the many many bugs. It's completely unacceptable they Codemasters would release a game with this many bugs. My advice for anyone thinking about buying this game is to wait and see if the much awaited 'patch' that Codemasters are meant to be releasing actually fixes many of the problems. I've never played a game with this many blatant errors and it's a joke they Codemasters can release a game like this so poorly tested. Should the patch fix the many issues, I will of course return with a more balanced review on the game because as I've already said, you can't make excuses for the game just because it 'looks' good or some other aspect plays ok when such glarin Major errors are in place...avoid it like the plague for the moment!â… Expand
Oct 13, 2010This is effectively a "Beta" release as the amount of bugs in the game are unacceptable. In career mode in my first season, problems ranged from other drivers not pitting, most of the time resulting in a HRT finishing in the top 3, AI drivers hitting into me, and i get a warning or a penalty for causing an incident. In the second season for some reason the qualifying is not knockout anymore, just standard quali from years ago. Most of the time i don't know what curbs i can touch and ones i can't because its inconsistent as hell, but most of the time its best not to touch them at all, as just riding over them without touching the accelerator in dry conditions spin you out. This is clearly something they put in deliberately to stop so called "cheating", when it just infuriates someone like me, who is quite a aggressive driver, ala Lewis Hamilton, who wants, and should be able to use the curbs.
The Damage model is beyond stupid, its stonkingly ridiculous. A crash which would in real life take off your entire front wing *may* take off a tiny chunk off your front wing. That is it. Any more than that and you need to crash straight into a wall at 150 MPH, but then you total the car.
The only positives to come out of the game is the actual feel of the car itself, but then you would expect that with Anthony Davidson advising them on that part, shame he couldn't have put a little forceful insight into the rest of it.
Time trial mode can be fun, with no AI around to ruin it, but the curbs, again, will infuriate me. Multiplayer can be fun but 80% of the time you will be in a game where most of the people there think they're playing Mario Kart and spear into you at any opportunity they have. Qualifying in multiplayer is a more serene mode compared to Sprint/Endurance, as the other cars are always ghosts and your free to compete to set the fastest time.
Reluctantly i still will be playing it until 2011 comes out, sporadically though, and hopefully they won't just release that to please the license again, and correct the wash of problems plaguing this rushed release.
They should have either not made F1 2009 for the Wii, that was a waste of time and a awful game, not made F1 2010, and just spent more time on it and let the first release be 2011. It would have been better, more polished, and i would have not lost a massive amount of resect for Codemasters.… Expand
Oct 6, 2010F1 2010 is the game I've been waiting years for, and mostly it hasn't disappointed. The career mode is wonderful crafted to adapt to your skill level once you've decided what that is, I went in gun-ho yet came crawling back to medium difficulty and the racing line to get to grips with the game. The speed of the cars are just right, every track has different bumps and levels of grip to slopes that add realism. It's a true sim racer dream, but if your a causal racer stick with GRID or Split/Second as it takes hours to learn one track and how a particular car handles. There are bad points, the wireless steering wheel is rubbish on this as the steering is far too light, pitting behind cars at times will drop you at the back of the grid for no reason, online racers think it's Mario Kart rather than a serious racer, and graphically on track is great but all else is poor! Overall if you're into F!, get it! If not, at least try it out armed with patience and the annoying music turned off!… Expand
Sep 26, 2010This first attempt from Codemasters at an F1 game gets the basics right; the graphics are great, the driving feels solid (could be improved) and the experience is awesome.
Where it fails though, and this is crucial, is in the details. There are a lot of bugs to be patched, but Codemasters will not let us down surely? Also missing are detailed laptimes and detailed information on where you are in relation to the other drivers in a race.
With the bugs as it stands the game is still enjoyable, but when they get fixed it will make the whole experience a lot better. If you are not a die-hard F1 fan, maybe hold out until the bugs are patched, otherwise this is a no-brainer.… Expand
Nov 3, 2010Quite expensive when I got the game at £43, but still, there is a lot to like about Formula One 2010. Is it better or worse than Forza 3? Well, the first thing of course, is the weather. Not only the rain dramatically affects your tyres, but sometimes the weather changes, and it is impressive to look at when the rain stops, bringing a colourful road up ahead. Secondly, it has a lot of tracks too, with some of them longer than others in the previous years, with the changes to the track updated (Silverstone, for example). The third thing is the extensive career mode, and the fact that for the first time ever you can get interviewed! The only bad thing is there's no split-screen multiplayer, but that doesn't mean that they took multiplayer out of the way. They have a party mode for time trials which supports up to 8 players (Up from just 4 players in 2003). Also, you can't change the grid order of the drivers when in race only mode (although they tried to make it as realistic as possible, it wouldn't be so realistic in terms of proper qualifying times which occured in earlier races such as Schumacher starting 21st in Belgium). However, with the inclusion of split-screen, this would deserve a perfect 10.… Expand
Nov 19, 2010F1 2010 is a fantastic game. It gives you a lot of information and details about race. The commentary is very good and well displayed. The sound effects is very good. The formula one drivers are very detailed. You can control the formula one cars and they are very fast to driver.
Nov 15, 2010The main thing tot he game is the handling and challenge of the game which really are great. Even when you have done alot of laps you still need to concentrate and drive clear lines else you can easily drop through the field. The Difficulty settings are great allowing almost any level racer to get into this game and by gradually dropping certain settings can progress into the harder difficulty levels. Graphically its not bad, i have seen prettier but the main focus has gone onto the tracks and their realism and handling and weather dynamics which really do bring the game forward. Damage modelling on the higher settings is good and creates a real tension if you happen to lose part of your wing and the car can be a very different beast. Each car drives differently which is amazing and means you really do notice the extra pace of the McClaren but the extra grip of the Red Bull. The AI drivers will drive aggressively to overtake and hold lines. I have heard that the car are just made up times when you are not in visual range of them and pople have complained about it and i can see why cause it would be nice to know where they are in split times but it doesnt really take alot away from the game.
The interview sections are a bit boring and repetitive but you can see what Codies were trying to do and in future releases this will be improved. New patches have improved the corrupt saves people have mentioned so unless your a muppet and turn off console during the save process you will be fine.
The game as a whole is brilliant and has alot of car customisation options if you like that kind of thing or the engineer help can be used which does it pretty much for you.
Definately for a Simulation fan racer but worth a go. Would be a 10 out of 10 if a few little flaws were corrected.… Expand
Sep 19, 2011I love F1 but would you really want to make the game so hard for 3 year old's to play? It lacks damage, hard to over take ( sometimes) but as a whole you can play F1 with a smile :)
Feb 17, 2012First thing, if you have the money to buy F1 2011, buy F1 2011 rather than 2010. If not, 2010 is still an alright buy. For a huge F1 fan I got this game and expected it go be good. I thought it was fun for the first couple of races until you realise how stupid the cars are to handle. No, F1 cars do not spin at every corner if you have traction control on, and do not even attempt to prove me wrong. The cars feel so much different in 2011 and they are about as far apart in handling wise as Miami is from Hong Kong. The same cannot be said between F1 2010 and F1 2011 in real life as they are much more similar. Overall this game's multiplayer is awful and the career doesn't really have anything to keep you hooked. The Virgin car feels near enough exactly the same as a McLaren which isn't good. I could set a time just half a second slower in a Virgin than a McLaren which is nowhere near what the actual 3-6 seconds it was in the real season. If you are looking for a cheap racing game try Forza 3 or Midnight Club: LA, this game just isn't good enough in my opinion, however 2011 is so much better and is probably the best racing game I have ever played.… Expand
Apr 24, 2014Another example of Codemasters solid relationship with racing. Ok the main problem with this game is the A.I, It looks fantastic, plays fantastic and is fully licensed but there is a real jump in the difficulty within the A.I settings you go from finishing 1st with 20 seconds in hand every time to finishing last every time as the A.I is flawless across the grid but when you do nail an overtake it is a very satisfying accomplishment which is a major achievement by Codemasters, there is nothing better than starting at the back of the grid in Sao Paulo and working your way through the field for the win. At the end of the day though I think that they have nailed the feeling of being in an F1 car the beauty of the game is trying to beat yourself lap for lap, you could be at this for hours.… Expand
Jan 24, 2011Whilst admittedly rough around the edges in parts, the bulk of the virtual racing experience is entirely refreshing.
Jan 12, 2011F1 2010 isn't for everyone, but if you like it, you'll like it a lot for quite a while.

My Kid Is Obsessed! Understanding Your Preschooler's Hobbies and Obsessions
A Passion or a Problem?
Ruth Anan, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist, says your child's intense interest could signal an obsessive-compulsive disorder. Speak to your pediatrician if you're concerned.
You say "He's totally preoccupied with it."
Not to worry
- He complains when you try to change activities -- but doesn't melt down completely.
- He plays with the object in creative ways and in social situations (such as using his Matchbox cars in an obstacle course and to play gas station with a friend).
Worry if
- His obsession seems more about maintaining order (lining cars up perfectly) than playing.
- He's so focused on his passion that he doesn't enjoy doing or playing with other things.
You say "Her fixation seems so odd."
Not to worry
- She quickly picks up on cues that another person doesn't share her passion, and transitions easily to other topics.
- Her obsession doesn't stand in the way of making (and keeping) friends.
Worry if
- She constantly gabs about her fascination, even when peers make it clear that they're disinterested.
- When the conversation changes, she keeps circling back to her obsession.
You say "I find his obsession with guns to be scary."
Not to worry
- He's picked it up from an older sibling or from watching violent cartoons (stop letting him watch these shows).
- If a buddy wants to do something else, he can easily switch to another activity.
Worry if
- Being the bad guy or a police officer is his only form of imaginative play.
- He can't refrain from pretending to "shoot" classmates at school, even after constant teacher reminders.

What about a Skoda Octiva Estate i hear they are very good for the price worth a look.
I've got £3700 to spend on a car. I've been searching high and low for a couple of weeks and I think I want a 03-05 Mondeo Ghia 2L Diesel with around 60-80k on the clock, although I have seen some Audi A4s and VW Passats with slightly higher mileage/lower spec for a similar price.
What would you spend your money on? Low mileage Ford or a high mileage German machine?
What about a Skoda Octiva Estate i hear they are very good for the price worth a look.
High Mileage German Machine - No brainer for me, especially when you are talking about a diesel engine.
Even if they are not quite as sound spec-wise as the Mondeo lets face it Fords are so boring!
A Passat or A4 would hardly be a bundle of excitement! To be honest, as much as I like VWs I'm giving serious thought to getting a Ford for my next car because you get a lot more for your money, in the second hand market at least.
I'm looking at a diesel Mondeo for £3000 which will get you quite a good one. I would have been in the market for a VW or Audi A4, but repairs are hideous if something goes wrong, and you get lots of goodies as standard in a Mondeo
What would you say was good mileage for a Mondeo at around £3-4k then? Should I be after 55k miles or are they still ok at 80k+?
After 2 weeks of research, I'm usually completely set on what I want to the exact detail when it comes to Music equipment or PC hardware, but this is really throwing me...
A well maintained modern diesel engine will easily clock over 180k, as for price you can see here what you can get for 2.7k near where I live: 2005 FORD MONDEO 2.0TDCi 130 LX 5dr [6] Diesel Estate
You should also remeber that car prices can be regional as well with some areas being cheaper than others (although not by much sometimes).
Anything with German or Japanese engineering and you are sorted, the mrs has rarely had a fault with her Mazda before she sold it and rarely had a fault with her VW before she sold that. We switched to a Hyundai and have had a fair few problems (car goes through oil like lightning despite there being no "fault").
What I would also say, is look at how they hold their value.....
You get more Ford for your money because they do not hold their value as well in the second hand market whereas both the Audi and especially the VW's do. I have just been looking at the diesel VW Golfs TDI's and even on high mileage ie 140 000 they are still £3k - £4k.
I suppose the question you need to ask yourself Ben is are you wanting to sell it later on for any real money. If not then the Mondeo is a great option, if so then the Audi or VW with over 120 000 on the clock would still sell for at least £2k.
Hope it helps.
Hi all,
Mondeo driver here.
I had the estate version you're looking at for a little while. It was a ghia and had about 60k on the clock and drove like it was new. It was a company car though so had full servicing by ford up to that point.
I've now got a 58 plate titanium mondeo hatch and it's done 90k in 2 years 6 months, and again, still drives like its new.
The only thing i'd say about them (all duratorq ford diesel engines) is they have dual mass flywheels which are known for throwing a bit of a wobbly occasionally. The newer the car is the less likely you are to have a problem but the difference lies between the 130ps engines in the 05 plate type model, the 140ps model on the 07 onwards and the 160 ps on the 10 onwards. So if you can get one that's had a new one at some point, do.
To test it on a test drive, get to about 1200 RPM in 3rd and floor it. Check for engine rumble (you'll feel the feedback through the wheel and your feet) and see if it struggles.
Also make sure it starts perfectly. When they start to go it sounds like the starter motor is disengaging a little too early and doesnt start right.
But, I wouldnt let the above put you off too much. Just worth a check when you're testing the. Otherwise, they're spot on.
As has been said if you want to run it into the ground then a Ford will be fine but you'll get £50 at the end and have to smile, get a VW you might get £600 instead and be happier

MIT Researchers May Have Found Cure for the Common Cold, Other Viruses
Tiffany Kaiser

The left panel shows treated and untreated cells in regards to the common cold virus (rhinovirus) while the right panel shows treated and untreated monkey cells in regards to dengue hemorrhagic fever virus
(Source: Massachusetts Institute of Technology)
Double-stranded RNA Activated Caspase Oligomerizers (DRACOs) could be the answer for terminating viruses like H1N1 influenza, stomach viruses, a polio virus, several types of hemorrhagic fever and dengue fever
Viruses like the common cold and influenza are infections that we occasionally must ride out. All anyone can really do is rest and take medications to ease the symptoms, which can range from congestion to fever to vomiting. Other viruses, such as
, can be potentially fatal due to Ebola hemorrhagic fever.
While many bacterial infections can be treated with antibiotics, not many viral infections can be treated with medications. Only a "handful" can fight viruses, like the protease inhibitors to
control HIV
, but most other treatments only relieve the symptoms, and even that can take several days in some cases. Viruses are difficult to attack because they change and replicate in healthy cells.
But now, a team of researchers at MIT's Lincoln Laboratory
may have found the cure
for the common cold as well as many other viruses like H1N1 influenza, stomach viruses, a polio virus, several types of hemorrhagic fever and dengue fever. The team, led by Todd Rider, a senior staff scientist in Lincoln Laboratory's Chemical, Biological and Nanoscale Technologies Group, created therapeutic agents called Double-stranded RNA Activated Caspase Oligomerizers (DRACOs) which have successfully terminated viral infections.
Viruses infect cells
by taking over the cell entirely and multiplying. While making copies of themselves, the viruses also produce long strings of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). This is not found in animal or human cells.
To fight these infected cells, healthy human cells have proteins that bind to dsRNA, which then prompts a series of reactions that work to stop the virus from making copies of itself. The problem is that the virus can block one of the healthy cells' series of steps to prevent its replication somewhere down the line, allowing the virus to change and further reproduce once again.
To remedy this problem, Rider and his team mixed a dsRNA protein with another protein that causes cells to go through apoptosis, which is programmed cell suicide. One end of the DRACO binds to dsRNA while the other end is instructed to launch cell suicide.
Also, each DRACO consists of a "delivery tag" that they received from naturally occurring proteins. This allows it to enter any human or animal by crossing cell membranes, meaning that it can combat a broad spectrum of viruses, possibly including new outbreaks.
The team tested the DRACOs in human and animal cells cultured in the lab as well as mice infected with the H1N1 influenza virus. They found that DRACO left the mice fully cured of the infection, and that DRACO is not toxic to these animals. In addition, DRACO only targeted cells with dsRNA present while leaving healthy cells alone.
Rider and his team are now testing DRACO on other viruses in mice, and hope to eventually test it on larger animals and humans.

Shedding some light
Reading the comments, I can see there is some important details that need to be elucidated about why this is so amazing; and why, unlike other antivirals, viruses won't be able to mutate themselves out of this one.
There are three parts of our immune system. Most everyone knows about the adaptive (antibodies), and some know about the innate (inflammation). But the third part of the immune system is the intrinsic, which is the immune system INSIDE each and every cell itself. It's designed specifically to fight off viruses. There are three main effectors that drive this intrinsic, cellular, immune system; but the core of it all is the dsRNA binding protein. That protein is what this article is about.
dsRNA leads to RNA interference which is how we generally resist most viruses. But what this team of researchers have brilliantly done, is make a fusion protein putting dsRNA binding protein fused to a caspase. Caspases are proteinases (slice up and destroy proteins) that trigger a cell's autodestruct sequence. Autodestructing destroys the intruding virus(es) as well, and is a primary means the body uses to stop acute viral infections before the adaptive immune system kicks in a week down the road.
By using the anti-viral scanner (dsRNA binding protein) and fusing it with the autodestruct protein, these researchers have made a chimera that will detect basically any viral infection (yes INCLUDING retroviruses like HIV, when not in latent phase) and trigger a cell to nuke itself and the virus.
Since this is being mediated solely through HOST factors (your own cells and your own proteins), a virus can do little to mutate and stop this, as it's not targeting anything the virus has, but yourself. Us humans would have to mutate to nullify this method of killing viruses, and that's not going to happen for a very, very long time if ever.
All this together truly makes this a potential cure as revolutionary as antibiotics. You are looking at the potential future: a single pill or injection that can wipe out a viral infection from your body; and to which viruses can't rapidly build resistance.
You what to know what's better? Linking these caspases to other sensor proteins may allow us to target and eliminate all sorts of aberrant cells that have unique signals or states, such as cancer.
"We can't expect users to use common sense. That would eliminate the need for all sorts of legislation, committees, oversight and lawyers." -- Christopher Jennings

Tom Lawrence netted two spectacular strikes – one surely a contender for League One Goal of the Season – to help Carlisle United to a 4-1 win over Tranmere Rovers on Saturday.
Lawrence's first was a 25-yard volley in the first minute to give the Cumbrians a dream start, but it was his second, described by Carlisle's official website as "one of the best goals ever seen" that will be shown again and again over the coming days.
The 19-year-old forward picked up the ball almost 40 yards out and then jinked, feinted and dummied his way past four defenders before firing the ball into the bottom corner. Not a bad way to mark your first goals in senior football.
In a strange twist, however, Lawrence was substituted immediately, while fellow United loanee Ben Amos completed the full 90 minutes in goal for Carlisle.
Lawrence wasn't the only young Red to find the net on Saturday. Defender Marnick Vermijl scored in NEC Nijmegen's dramatic 4-3 win over Roda JC in the Dutch Eredivisie. The Belgian now has two goals this season.
Meanwhile, Jesse Lingard set up Birmingham's second goal in their 2-0 win at Bournemouth. Michael Keane (Derby County) and Tyler Blackett (Blackpool) were unused substitutes on Saturday, while Ryan Tunnicliffe played 90 minutes in Ipswich Town's 0-0 draw against Nottingham Forest and Federico Macheda 82 minutes in Doncaster Rovers' loss to Leeds United.

Mobile Phones>Mobile Phone Guides>6 of Australia's best, most useful phone plan features
Summary: If it's been a while since you've checked in with your phone plan, you'll be interested to see how things have changed.
Joseph Hanlon
| 5 June 2014
You probably think all mobile phone plans are the same. Each includes calls, data, and if your lucky, a new phone. But there are a number of clever ideas tucked away in some of Australia's better phone plans.
Here are our favourites.
It used to be that a phone, a tablet and a USB modem all required separate accounts: even if all devices were on the same carrier network. Happily, these days are behind us.
Telstra and Optus both now allow customers to sign up for one phone plan and share their data allowance on up to 5 other devices. So, if you sign up to a $130 Telstra Mobile Accelerate plan, each month you'll have 3GB to share across all your devices.
You do have to pay extra for this feature, though. Optus are asking for a once-off $5 fee per device you want to connect, while Telstra charge $10 per month, per device.
(Coming June 10)
Australians love to jump on a plane and travel to other parts of the world. But what do you do with your phone when you get there? How can you avoid the dreaded international roaming charges?
Vodafone is attempting to solve the problem with a unique approach. If you sign up for a Red Plan you can use your phone exactly as you would in Australia for
$5 per-day. That means unlimited calls and messages, plus the same amount of data you pay for each month.
The backbone of this arrangement is Vodafone's enormous global footprint, and while you can't 'Red Roam' in every country, the offer is active in the
most popular travelling destinations across the US, Europe and Asia.
Owning a smartphone is a roller coaster ride; the elation you feel peeling the plastic off a brand new smartphone is quickly sullied by the envy you feel when a friend buys a newer model. Seriously, you only bought it six-months ago, how could it be outdated already?
If you love to stay on the bleeding edge of phone technology, then
Telstra's New Phone Feeling is for you. You pay an extra $10 per month on top of your plan, and then every 12-months you can select a different model from Telstra's range.
When your 'new phone birthday' rolls around, simply pack up your old phone, hand it back in to Telstra and reset your 24-month contract with a brand-spanking new phone.
One of the great risks of using a smartphone is the chance that you'll rack up a huge bill after exceeding your monthly data limit. The problem is so common, we've all given it its own name: Bill Shock.
Optus is one telco seeking to do away with Bill Shock with an innovative concept for excess data use. Rather than billing you for the data you use after you've reached your limit, Optus credits your account with 1GB of extra data and charges you a flat $10 fee. If you hit your limit again, you automatically receive another 1GB and the $10 fee is added to your bill for the month.
The experience of comparing mobile phone plans is typically pretty self-centred. It's all about how much
you get, which phone you want. What if you could contribute to a worthwhile cause and sign up for phone plan at the same time?
Jeenee Mobile is a not-for-profit organisation that provides valuable mobile phone service and assistance to people living with disabilities. They have a number of phone and plans designed to service these customers specifically, but there are also a number of competitive SIM-only options available that anyone can sign up for.
Best of all, every new Jeenee Mobile subscriber makes a contribution towards a donation of a smartphone and service to a person with a disability in need of connectivity. For every 5 customers who sign up for a $40 SIM pack, a smartphone is donated, every month.
When you sign up for a new mobile plan that includes a discounted phone, it is a little known fact that some of the cost of the phone is built into the price of the plan.
But what if you bring-your-own phone? You shouldn't be charged for a phone you don't buy. This disparity in plan prices is one of the reasons no-contract providers, like
amaysim, have become so popular lately.
In response, the big telcos have started offering a discount for BYO customers, and now all the majors offer cheaper SIM-only plans, to a varying degree.
Vodafone offers a flat $15 off the price of any of their Red Plans for BYO customers, bring down a $60 plan to just $45 per month. Optus also offers competitive SIM-only options in its My Plan Plus range.
Telstra customers have even more options, with a slight discount for no-contract plans and an even heavier discount for BYO customers who sign up for 12-months.

I would like to understand how an application like AlsaMixer or MixGet, mixer widget with alsa is working.
Specially, I would like to develop an application which makes use of the "/etc/asound.conf" which would be available with ALSA.
Has anyone more knowledge on this? How can I "build" ALSA for every Android-device?
I personally have tested those applications on my own Samsung Galaxy Nexus which natively uses "tinyalsa" and on an "HTC Desire" which uses something with "/dev/msm_audio_out" (don't know what this is exactly).
It seems that those apps require root, ok no problem, but they work without larger modifications and on a large range of devices).
Thanks in advance for your help, I've read hundreds over hundreds of docs and found no real informations.

Watch Couragous Four-Year-Old Blind Boy Make Your Day By Learning to Walk Off a Curb
It's not hard to see how brave Gavin Robert Stevens is.
It's not hard to see how brave Gavin Robert Stevens is.
Harry Styles of One Direction is an ink addict. The singer, recently split from Taylor Swift, has added to his ever-growing tattoo collection. His latest piece of art? A butterfly, smack dab in the middle of his chest, just below the nipples.
At 23, Taylor Swift has the world in her grasp.
It's a boy. Actually, it will be a boy! Jessica Simpson revealed that she is expecting a son while appearing on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' last night (March 6.)
The top 10 for Season 12 of 'American Idol' was revealed on Thursday's episode, the first results show of the season. America has chosen the five men and five women that comprise the top 10.
Here's who's moving on:
Selena Gomez has been tight-lipped about her somewhat recent split with Justin Bieber. As the gossip world wonders about her "Are they or aren't they?" status as one-half of the biggest teen pop couple of the decade, she hasn't given us much to go on.
The top 10 for season 12 of 'American Idol' is up for grabs, with the 10 remaining women and the 10 remaining men competing for those slots on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Taylor Swift covers the April 2013 issue of Vanity Fair and in it, she declares that she has only dated two people since 2010 – One Direction's Harry Styles and Conor Kennedy of that Kennedy clan. While Swift did not speak directly about the implosion of her three-month relationship with Styles, a source was given authority (by her) to do so.
It takes at least a few days, sometimes longer, to receive your refund after you've filed your taxes with the IRS. Some people, though, just can't seem to wait. This almost certainly is a bad decision.
Recently, the Boy Scouts of America organization has been getting more and more flak for its decision to ban openly gay members -- and now you can add 'Call Me Maybe' singer Carly Rae Jepsen to the unhappy masses.
She's expressed her displeasure quite publicly by canceling her appearance at a BSA concert.

Progress In Chicago Teachers Strike
Chicago Teachers Union and school district reps sounding more upbeat than they have since a strike started on Monday.
FOX News Radio's Jennifer Keiper reports from Chicago:
Audio clip:
Both sides say they've made significant progress. School Board President David Vitale says there has been lot of back-and-forth on significant issues including teacher evaluations. While Vitale is hoping that kids can start school tomorrow, Teachers Union President Karen Lewis thinks that is highly unlikely.
(Lewis) "The House of Delegates will not vote on one part of this. So the key is that we really do have to have a comprehensive package for our House to look at and decide on."
Lewis, back in talks today, says there is still a lot on the table to work out.
In Chicago, Jennifer Keiper, FOX News Radio.

Hi all, sorry for not inluding the scientific name of the orange ladybird! I certainly should have. Sorry for any confusion.
Thanks for all your comments! I really hope I catch sight of them again. Merry Christmas to you all and a very Happy New Year.

When looking at Dell laptops for AutoCAD, keep in mind that the system requirements will vary depending on the version of the CAD software program you own.
Since AutoCAD 2013 is the latest program, as of this writing, we will focus on how to find the best Dell notebook computer for that version.
First things we need to know before deciding on which model of Dell laptop to choose, are the system requirements of the AutoCAD 2013 program.
For the 32 bit AutoCAD program:
For the 64 bit AutoCAD program:
With Dell's Workstation Advisor you will be able to input the type of program you would like to run and choose either a laptop or desktop system.
With this basic information, we can now narrow down which of the Dell laptops for AutoCAD is right for you and your needs.
Dell now has an new interactive tool that helps you decide which computer is best suited for what you need to do.
Using the Dell Precision Workstation Advisor we've discovered that the Dell Precision M4700 Mobile Workstation is best suited for our needs with the AutoCAD 2013 program.
Using Dell's custom system builder we found that the M4700 ranged in price between $1300 and $2300, depending on preferences and add-ons.
At $1300, Dell's Precision M4700 laptop proves to be a reasonably priced AutoCAD compatible computer.
Here's what you get with the bare bones laptop:
Note: We used the AutoCAD Architecture program as the application in the Advisor, and it actually recommended building a system with the i7-3720QM Processor (Quad Core 2.6GHz, 6M cache) instead of the i5 listed above, bringing up the price of the laptop accordingly.
With all the above laptop features aimed at impressing the engineer, CAD guru or 3D modeling expert, we were hard pressed to find any lacking features.
