Nov 25, 2010This is one of my favourite games of all time, it really capture los angeles and the california area i reckon, the gameplay was awesome and the story surpasses any other game made during its time, 10/10 yes, grove street for life.
Dec 17, 2011Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas has several flaws that are hard to overlook. The basic idea of the Grand Theft Auto Series is to complete task for different people that for the most part are illegal. You have to kill, steal, and commit other crimes to make more money all while avoiding the cops. Past games have been very successful but San Andreas is not. First off, the City of San Andreas is simply too big. Bigger is not always better. It takes ridiculous lengths to travel to some parts of the city, and there really is no actual reason to have such a big city. There is an actual highway system which is basically the developers saying "Our city is too big and boring to drive through, so we make this nice highway to speed up going through all the horrible travel times." Why not just make a smaller city that you actually enjoyed driving through? It may seem not like a big deal, but really it blows my mind that players have to sit there and hop on an express way to their next objective. Going on the same theme of the massive city, there is simply too many pointless things in this game. One feature is having to eat food or else you get thin and weak. This doesn't add anything to the game, just giving players an annoying task to go find food every so often. Also buying food actually take an absurd time, walking up and taking your order. Why have this? All this is doing is wasting my time when I want to be driving the express way for 10 minutes. Every skill has a level feature. The more you use something or do something, the higher your skill becomes. Yet again this adds no strategy or use to the game. A better feature would have been having to pick and choose which gun skills to increase, like pick the shotgun skill and you can do amazing damage up close, but are penalized for far range shots. You know, make the player actually have to decide something. Not just driving around and leveling up your driving skill randomly. Its like "oh thats cool I guess." One feature is the ability to swim, which actually is useful simply because you don't instantly die if you fall in water. Most others are gimmicky nothings. You can have a girlfriend and go on dates, which is completely retarded. Would you rather get into a high speed police chase, or go out with an npc to a hamburger joint? What is the point besides "Hey look at ANOTHER thing you can do besides play the actual game." There are bars where you can play a badly implemented pool game. You can literally ride a bicycle faster then most cars. You can buy houses, which is useful because you will need many places to save or else you are spending 7 minutes driving down Los Santos Freeway to save. You can go try and find all 100 graffiti points, or the 50 oysters in the ocean, or the 50 horseshoes hidden in the game. Isn't that great? Over 200 collectables that you are expected to find in a city that takes a good 20 minutes to drive from one end to another. Basically the developers way of saying "Here is something for you to look up online." Hiding 100 packages in GTA3 was feasible because you could spend 15 minutes and have checked a decent portion of the map off. If they literally expected players to find 200 small items in San Andreas then I truly don't know what to think. ANOTHER feature is the ability to fight rival gangs in turf battles, which is great because your turfs will be attacked and taken over when you're stuck on the freeway 10 minutes away. If you like Dance Dance Revolution type games, then don't worry because you can load up GTA:SA, drive to a certain location, then play the dancing mini game. Why? As the developers must have thought, why the hell not? More and more is better. With all this added nonsense, there IS a GTA game in there, but its hard to find. GTA: SA is not good. All the extra features are irrelevant, and the map size alone is enough to ruin the game. Don't buy this game even if it's on sale for 50% off at the dollar store.… Expand
Aug 22, 2010In an overall fantastic game. GTA: SA puts you in the shoes of Carl Johnson (CJ) as he looks to make a name for himself in the state of San Andreas (based on parts of California and Nevada). The graphics are good, the storyline is epic, with 20+ hours of storyline missions, not to mention side missions, games, races, exploring, having fun, etc., etc., etc. GTA: SA has a little something for everyone (over the age of 17), and it's a fantastic game. One of the most fun that I've ever played. This is like every preceding GTA on steroids, with voice talent including the likes of Samuel L. Jackson, Ice-T, Peter Fonda, and James Woods. The plot is fantastic, and one of the best in video game history. It's a better plot than any preceding GTA, and any one following it, including IV. Hey, the 20 million people who bought this can't be wrong, right? A masterpiece from all accounts.… Expand
Nov 15, 2011Still the best gta to this date. GTA IV sucks compared to this and watch gta 5 suck compared to it also. Comparing GTA IV to SA is like comparing a potatoe to a computer. SA is a very very good game. So worth the 10 if you ask me. Im hoping R* does something good for its 10th ani unlike the crappy 10th ani for GTA 3 where all it got was ported to mobiles and not ps3. I love SA and still play it to this day. Who says classics are bad?… Expand
Nov 25, 2011Missions, side missions, taxi missions, paramedic missions, vigilante missions, freighting, courier missions, tags to spray, snapshots to take, horseshoes to find, oysters to find, gang territories, shops, unique jumps, clothing choices, gym workouts, girlfriends, guns, safehouses, casinos, a HUGE map, and, of course, whatever the heck you want!! My favorite video game of all time, by far...
Mar 14, 2012This is the best GTA game so far and no other has beat it. I love this game, and it loves me back. We like to cuddle and touch each other in the wrong places, we smell each others bawls, we suck each other, OMG! But really, this games awesome.
May 19, 2012Awards: The Best Game of 2004, The Best Sandbox Game of 2004, The Best Single Player Experience of 2004 . The best selling game of PS2 is even one of the best game ever. GTA San Andreas is an open world game, that deserves the place for one of the best GTA ever. Story with gangsters never been so awesome, and the gameplay is a terrific sandbox. This game is even drama, because of the murder of CJ's mothers, and some secrets. It haves some cool extras: drive an transportation airplane, a huge beautiful world, new weapons etc. This game is almost perfect! (9.8)… Expand
Jun 19, 2013Wonderful game from start to finish. Great characters, story, controls, graphics, everything about this game is wonderful. Easily the best game ever made on the PS2. Wish Rockstart would up the graphics to release on PSN, but again, best game ever made on PS2.
Dec 23, 2012It's alright. Very fun to drive around and explore since the map is so large. The voice acting story and soundtrack are top-notch as well. However, the shooting mechanics are the worst I have ever seen. It's almost impossible to hit someone.
Jun 19, 2013This game is perfection and my favorite ps2 game. The multiplayer, the free roam and the story made me spent so many hours of fun in this game, and now i still play it and love it. You could do everything like doing a tattoo or changing your hair style. Having a gang and the cheat codes where also some of the factors for this perfect game. How to describe this game by words, good action and great gameplay made this so fun and enjoyable to play to everyone and it's easy to see why everyone love this GTA game in particular. The city was so big and interesting to explore and you just couldn't get enough of it!… Expand
May 16, 2013One of my favourite games.Very fun to drive around and explore since the map is so large. The voice acting story and soundtrack are good However, the shooting mechanics are the worst I have ever seen. It's almost impossible to hit someone.best gta game ever.
Apr 22, 2013This game in my opinion is R* BEST WORK. The amount of things you can do in this game is phenomenal. There is just so much replay value in this game. If tired of missions, ride in a tank blowing stuff up. Tired of riding tanks, take to the air.
R* has taken the best of GTA3 and VC to make one of the best games of all time.
Jun 5, 2013Not only the, besT PS 2 game. Its the best gamr ever. Gta iv was a setback. San andreas is gonna be remember forever.....foreals no Denning it..best story in gta
Jul 3, 2013It's the best game in the series, there are lots of activities to do, though CJ is not as convincing as Niko, San Andreas proves to be better than GTA IV. A fascinating story with three huge cities and vast rural areas, solid gameplay, variety of vehicles and transportation, the player can travel on foot, by car or by plane and by boat. Immense missions that are not repetitive and impressive cast with excellent graphics for the PS2, and a spectacular voice acting. San Andreas is one of the greatest games of its generation.… Expand
Jul 6, 2013GTA San Andreas is a masterpiece, I can easily say it is the best game I have ever played. If you have not played this game you must try it. Below I list why I would highly recommend this game.
Story: This game has a huge and interesting story with excellent voice acting from some famous actors It also has great humour and shocking plot twists.
Music: The music selection is excellent with amazing music from all genres but specificity 90s gangster rap.
Gameplay: This is the biggest reason San Andreas is so highly rated, you will never get bored because the story missions never feel repetitive or boring and it includes a huge list of side activities which I cannot list in this review because their is just too much content in this game.… Expand
Sep 29, 2013Lo inmejorable ha sido mejorado en este increíble y un de mis juegos favoritos de todos los tiempos y de muchos también: "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" es uno de los videojuegos más impresionantes de todos los tiempos, Rockstar se lució como ninguna otra compañía: gráficos mejorados e impresionantes, mejor jugabilidad, impresionante mapa (que es gigante) y puedes hacer cualquier variedad en ese estado que abarca Los Santos, San Fierro y Las Venturas. San Andreas es pura pasión y llorarás de la majestuosidad de este tan deseado videojuego.… Expand
Jun 1, 2014I´ve been playing this game since it came out (and this is 2014), and guess what? Still playing it. The game is a legend. Even some books (all kind of) refers to them. This game is a game, that probably started the (WHOLE) thing with being interested in making RPG Games like this. Everytime im playing this, im always think "Sigh.. Where are all the good GTA Games like this anymore?" And this game, even if it´s 10 years old, it still beats GTA V.… Expand
Sep 15, 2011The best Grand Theft Auto game Rockstar has ever made. Period. Huge world map; probably the biggest in the series, almost unlimited freedom, huge loads of content that plays with its ridiculously good replay value, very robust character customization and a really good representation of the early 90's west America. Sure, the character designs and set pieces look like crap in today's standards but that's what adds to the charm of this timeless classic.… Expand
Dec 4, 2012GRAND THEFT **** AUTO: SAN ADNREAS, **** Yeah! It's awesome in so many ways. I could tell you all day about all the great things in this game. It made me glad to play games and not go out and hang with friends.
Dec 31, 2010People should look past the controversies of violence, sex and disturbing mods of the game. As a platformer fan, San Andreas is the best action game I had played. You don't need to read too much to know there's a lot of features. From shooting, driving all kinds of transport (cars, bikes, planes, choppers, boats), gym training, side-jobs and still a lot more. The missions and story are great. The story is about CJ returning from Liberty City to San Andreas after 5 years in Liberty City to visit his family and help his gang, but he is also forced to help the cops. To stop the corrupted the police, CJ goes around San Andreas in search of trusted people to fight back the police. The graphic and audio are dated but very clear. What I love very much about San Andreas is the best soundtracks, which makes the game nostalgic for the memories of your entire life. I hope I get to play this again after so many years not playing it.… Expand
Jan 26, 2011Dude this game is pretty sweet. Like its not "the best game ever" (but close to it), but it probably is the best game on PS2. Ya ya, you can't see there emotions, but at least there heads aren't boxes! Its probably one of the best GTAs, because of the cheats (perfect for hanging out with your friend) and for some other aspects. Great game! Really cheap, so I bought it.
Jun 14, 2011Fantastic game. Great gameplay and very enjoyable. Only reason I'm giving it a 9 is because it's a bit glitchy compared to GTA IV and the graphics aren't the best but it's a masterpiece of a game you'll never get tired of.
Apr 29, 2011Gangsters, jetpacks, quadbikes, choppers, planes, three big-ass cities AND one of the best sandbox adventures ever created. How can you not love this game? The sequel to the smash hit Vice City improves in every possible way over the previous titles in the series and ten times over. The missions are fun, nicely paced and not hard at all. The graphics look decent for 2004, but still aren't great. Trust me, you'll get your money's worth with this game, with a storyline spanning over 100 missions and on top of that side missions are aplenty. The game is set in the 1990s and you play as Carl Johnson, a gangsta who returns to his home town due to the death of his mother and must regain his respect and work his way up the ladder to become crime boss of the city. The map is huge, and even the most dedicated gamer would take days to fully explore all the locations. There are three large cities each based on Los Angeles, San Francisco and Las Vegas. There is also an impressive countryside and a desert as well. Many characters are featured throughout, some who return from GTA 3 and Vice City. The vehicles are standard GTA fare, but there are also lots of planes, helicopters and many unique vehicles as well such as the army tank, the quadbike and even a fighter plane. In sum, one of the greatest games ever made and the best GTA in the series.… Expand
Apr 11, 2011Best console game of a generation? Debatable. Best console action sand boxer of a generation? Probably. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, at time of writing, is very old. I played it too much upon release, and even today I still find time to boot up my PS2 between next-gen games, and play this classic. Apart from rather bad graphics, which were mostly down to an old engine, aging hardware, and disc limitations of the time, San Andreas would score high on the charts of any generic rating system. It took the already well established, if slightly repetitive formula of it's predecessor, Vice City, and expanded, refreshed, and improved every aspect. Each gameplay detail was refined, although the basic GTA formula stayed in place. This left some core elements some gamers would dislike, but the masses, the critics, and myself, couldn't get enough of the best offering the GTA series had to offer. Storyline, audio, presentation, all packaged into a game where, with a little progression, you could unlock many more locations, vehicles, weapons, and gameplay elements (Who could forget the jetpack in all it's obscure glory?) than many other games of the time, made GTA one of the best games ever developed for the PS2 system. If you've been living on Mars with your hands over your eyes and ears for the past 7 years, or by some miracle missed this title, It's worth picking up on disc for a PC, or preferably console, at bargain prices. You can also download the original Xbox version onto an Xbox 360. Each version has a few differences, but the PC version runs smoothest on most modern PC's.… Expand
Nov 10, 2013There may are many things to do but nothing thinks to be finished trough. Many of the minigames are boring or/and annoying, the missions get boring and repetitive troughout the game and the story just unfolds one twist at the end. Still it is not a bad game, world is huge and the radio stations are awesome.
Jun 12, 2011San Andreas stepped away from GTA III and Vice City by actually focusing on the gameplay much more that previous titles. The rpg elements added also keep the game fresh compared previous titles. I didn't really care for the story at all, and the ghetto setting is much worse than Vice City's to me... but GTA has never been about plot to me, so that doesn't really take anything away from the game. I give it a 10 compared to other Grand Theft Autos, and an 8 against everything else. Its a fun game.… Expand
Dec 16, 2012I wished the Hot Coffee mod still be in the game. Sex sells. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is one of the my favorite games before Saint's Row and Sleeping Dogs. But I wished Samuel L. Jackson (a.k.a CJ) could've kill every cop and says "F**k the Police!" Even if activist Jack Thompson was in a GTA video game, he wouldn't mind playing it with his kids. It's like having your own personal playground having fun go to the TV, put on the PS2 system, and can't go to sleep because you're watching porn movies than playing San Andreas. Controversial or not, I'm still hooked on Grand Theft Auto. I'm thinking a remake?… Expand
Sep 22, 2011There is not much to tell about this great game, just came out in a time that videogames were too stuck, and San Andreas gave a cyber freedom to all ! Even more than GTA 3
Sep 17, 2011I have played all the GTA games all the way from GTA III and in my honest opinion out of all GTA games San Andreas is the most largest, most involving and deepest GTA game ever. The game's map is just ginormous consisting of three cities Los Santos (based on LA), San Fierro (based on San Francisco) and Las Venturas (based on Las Vegas). The large map also has forest and desert like environments it is amazing how this game captured the feel of three different cities and its citizens but also shows the way the cowboys and villiagers live their loves in the forest and the desert. GTA San Andreas has just a great story which could be confusing early on however the player will understand more and more things as he progresses the game's story is very deep, enthralling and personal also more involving and darker than its predecessors. I also like the main character of this game Carl Johnson he has a very funny. charming and likeable personality a type of person who can be sarcastic and funny along with being a total bada** and serious at the same time. The game also includes some rpg stats unlike 3 and Vice City which include Respect, Fat, Muscle that can change the way CJ looks. The player can also buy different kinds of clothes , different haircuts and tattoos to make the CJ look exactly like he wants, the player can also customize and mod different Vehicles the customization options in this game are just really well done, Sex Appeal, Driving and Gun Skills/Stats have also been implemented in the game the more player drives and the more he uses guns his skills improve and the better the player gets at them for example the player will be able to drive cars easily when his skills improve, and being able to use two SMGS at the same time and move while shooting as the player gets good with guns. The game has so much side stuff that it is impossible for me to cover in all of them in this review but the ones on the top of my head are: car, bike and plane races, car, bike, boat and plane schools, GYMs, girlfriends, gang Wars, Casinos, Quarry missions, some Asset missions as well as Police, Taxi and Ambulance missions thats not even all. The amount of side stuff put the side things in GTA 4 to shame. GTA San Andreas also has great music and songs which are all a great kickback to the 1990s and all the types of music are there Rock Music, Country Music, Rap Music and even talk shows infact the player can just enjoy and have fun in the game driving around in cars and bikes while listening to these Radio Stations alone thats how awesome the Radio Stations are in this game. The voice acting is just perfect there is no other word I can use to describe it, it seems like all the people who are doing the voice acting are deep into their characters. The game's graphics are good considering its ps2, the game is so huge and it came out in 2004 so its graphics are understandable, the environments looks just beautiful, character models are more detailed than previous GTAs but the characters stiff finger attached hands can look really weird at times. There is a multiplayer mode in this game unlike previous GTAs while it is not amazing or anything the player can still have alot of fun with his friends while free roaming with them or doing co-op rampage missions it is not perfect but it is better to have a multiplayer mode which is fun but not perfect than have no multiplayer at all. The game's story is around 25-30 hours long however in trying to do all the sidestuff in this and unlocking all things, getting 100% completion the player can spend hours and hours in this game and completely get lost in it amazing world and atmosphere. GTA San Andreas is a classic and a masterpiece of a game and in my honest opinion the best game in the GTA series and one of best sandbox games of all time. 10/10.… Expand
May 10, 2014I am a huge fan of this franchise, the previous games were excellent, when some friends told me to play this game I was like like OK, I purchased it and the game started, the first mission was ironicaly great, the first missions are excellent, but suddenly and surprisingly, my expectations went from really high to down, the next missions are long, stressing and they have no sense, the cameos of the characters from the other games are dissapointing, indeed the whole game is a dissapointment, the only good thing that has the game are the gang wars, but repetitive, this is the worst game of the franchise, this game makes Chinatown Wars as a materpiece.… Expand
The amount of things to do in the cities of Los Santos, San Fierro, and Las Venturas is absolutely staggering... In my opinion there's no excuse to not have a "save anywhere" feature included.
San Andreas's chief advantage over "Vice City" is size. And for many players, that's good enough. But another group of fans will come to quietly understand that, at least for the time being, "Vice City" remains the high point of the GTA series.
There's so much to do in this game that it's outside of my range of imagination to be able to picture me reaching a 100% complete. Unfathomable.

These two pictures are pieces of a larger series of photos that I did for the European planters of Poinsettia plants. The general theme of the 2014 campaign are Grimm's fairy tales.
Now, my idea was to get this very traditional christmas flower as well as the fairy tales out of their slightly boring and old-fashioned niches. What we did was that we converted Snow White from a shy, obedient girl into a strong and self-confident woman.
The Poinsettia became part of a modern and minimalistic interior design.
Thanks a lot to the amazing team from Zucker Kommunikation, as well as Katrin Werger (head of styling and h&m) and Katrin Schempp (photo-assistant).

Cities, towns and other localities in the AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities program commit to improving their age-friendliness and submit to a rigorous membership assessment cycle.
Communities interested in joining the network are encouraged to contact their state AARP office. AARP state offices also work to identify cities, towns and counties AARP believes can commit to a continual cycle of improvement in the eight domains the World Health Organization (WHO) has identified as influencing the health and quality of life of older adults.
The domains are listed below and are detailed in the AARP Livable Communities Slideshow: The 8 Domains of Livability.
- Outdoor spaces and buildings
- Transportation
- Housing
- Social participation
- Respect and social inclusion
- Civic participation and employment
- Communication and information
- Community support and health services
See these World Health Organization documents:
- World Health Organization Checklist of Essential Features of Age-Friendly Cities (PDF)
- World Health Organization Guide to Age-Friendly Cities (PDF)
Indicators in the World Health Organization domains that also reflect the social impact objectives of AARP include:
- Increasing awareness about what the age 50+ population needs in order to maintain active, healthy and productive lives where they live
- Fostering dialogue, knowledge and actions that support the development of age-friendly communities across the United States
Being an age-friendly community requires a commitment to a cycle of continuous improvements. The "Getting Started" phase of the program typically lasts one or two years.
Initiating the effort requires the following steps:
1. Obtain the political commitment of the community's elected officials
This includes acquiring a written pledge by the community executive (the mayor, county commissioner, etc.) to commit to a continual cycle of improvement. This letter should be sent to the community's AARP state office. AARP will then advise the World Health Organization's Global Network of Age-Friendly Cities and Communities. (To read examples of these letters and expressions of commitment, see Community Letters of Commitment and Sample Resolutions.)
2. Organize stakeholders
A successful age-friendly initiative is based on broad collaboration. An ideal group of stakeholders would include representation from non-profit organizations, businesses, government agencies and community partners and, of course age-50+ residents.
For suggestions about whom to include, see:
For examples of successful engagements, see the AARP presentations:
- Engaging Older Persons: Georgia's Macon-Bibb Age-Friendly Community Experiences (PDF)
- Engaging Stakeholders: City of Des Moines: Creating Great Places for All Ages (PDF)
3. Conduct assessments to identify needs
AARP has developed a survey that can be adapted by communities to help assess available resources and what residents view as important for successfully aging in place. The survey is designed to capture information consistent with the eight domains of a livable community as identified by the World Health Organization.
4. Establish an advisory committee that includes older adults
AARP state office staff members and volunteers can can help.
The ultimate goal of the AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities is to increase the number of communities that support healthy aging, which will thereby improve the health, well-being, satisfaction and quality of life for older Americans. In an age-friendly community, policies, services, settings and structures support and enable people remain active as they age. This is achieved by:
- Recognizing the wide range of capacities and resources among older people
- Anticipating and responding flexibly to aging-related needs and preferences
- Respecting the decisions and lifestyle choices of age 50+ people
- Protecting and supporting older adults who are the most vulnerable
- Promoting the inclusion and contributions of older adults in all aspects of community life
And, because active aging is a life-long process, an age-friendly community is not just "elder-friendly." Rather, an age-friendly community is friendly for people of all ages.

I'll admit it, I hate wearing a coat. I get "yelled" at all the time by my motherly-type bosses that I'll catch my death, but the four seconds that it takes to walk from my car into work doesn't phase me too much. Until it gets into the 20s. Then all bets are off, and I bundle up like Randy from A Christmas Story.
So, my question for y'all today is, how cold does it have to get for you to put your coat on?

Everyone should make sure that they have enough life insurance to take care of their family should the worst happen, but too many people don't have enough coverage. Don't let your family go unprotected. By following the advice in this article, you can make sure that your family will be well protected.
When it comes to Life Insurance, purchase it when you are young. Typically, a younger person is in good general health, so you will be able to lock in a great rate for the length of the policy. As a person gets older, they start to present more of a risk to an insurance company, and not only will the premium be more but, you may be denied coverage entirely.
It is crucial that you ask if a potential life insurance policy covers accidental death, as some insurance companies will not cover this. Anything can happen to you and want you to be assured that your family will be able to pay for your final expenses. If you are unsure, ask your insurance company.
Lower the cost of life insurance by quitting smoking. Smoking is one of the biggest health risk factors from an insurance standpoint, but some life insurers will reduce your rates with just one year of being smoke-free. After two to three years of non-smoking status, some insurance companies will put individuals into the standard rate class, reducing premiums substantially.
Life insurance can help ease the burden to your family by helping with funeral and burial expenses. Policies also pay your family an amount that you designate. For a relatively low monthly cost, your family can be covered $100,000, $250,000, $500,000, or another amount that is right for you.
Make sure to do all of your research before purchasing a policy or hiring a professional. This can not only save you a lot of money, but this can better help you understand what it is you are looking for and who is best to handle your needs. It's also best for deciding who offers the payment plan that works for you regarding their services.
When you are choosing life insurance quotes, make sure you are only paying for what you need. Think about what your life insurance will need to cover. It may need to pay for the funeral, a mortgage, or college for kids. Or if you have a separate account for your children's college, you would not want to pay for that.
A great tip to lower your life insurance premiums is to figure out how much insurance you actually need. You should determine this amount yourself, and do not leave it to insurance companies because they often will overestimate how much insurance you need. This will lead to higher premiums you will have to pay. Therefore, you should only purchase a policy that has the exact amount of insurance you need.
A great tip to keep your life insurance premiums as low as possible is to be sure you pay your premiums on time. If you do not pay premiums on time, you will lose your current policy and be forced to sign an even more expensive policy. Therefore, you must ensure you pay your premiums by the designated date.
If you're a smoker who was addicted and smoking cigarettes at the time of your life insurance policy, you can actually quit smoking and save money. Most companies will let you reapply for a policy as a non-smoker after a certain amount of time has passed. So there's some incentive in it if you can quit.
Understand the terms of your life insurance policy before purchasing, and make sure you are getting the coverage you need. A financial planner can help with this, but you can also educate yourself easily. Understanding the terminology used helps you make better life insurance choices and ensures your policy provides the coverage you are expecting.
To save money on your life insurance policy, it is important to understand how insurance companies and their associates make a profit. Insurance agents and financial planners that work on commission, are only paid if they sell you an insurance product, while fee based planners earn from sales, as well as fees.
As you have seen, knowing how much life insurance you need to have isn't difficult once you've learned a few basic principles. By applying the advice you've learned from this article, you can take care of your family by ensuring that you have enough life insurance to protect your loved ones.

First rides & tests
14 May 2013 10:50
In this week's paper I report how the heated grips on the Suzuki Burgman 650 could be warmer. Just about every journalist on the launch in Scotland seemed to agree on the point. Some said they seemed to work intermittently. Others questioned whether they worked at all. Suzuki scratched their heads and said they'd look into it. On the ride back to Peterborough, I had them on full blast and my hands were still cold, albeit in summer gloves. So the first thing I did on getting home was fit a pair of handlebar muffs.
I know what you're going to say: 'Man-up. It's May.' But it still gets pretty cold. On an early morning ride in Kent on May 2, the thermometer on the Burgman's dash read 3°C.
With the muffs on, it became clear that the grips definitely worked. I had to turn them down from their highest setting.
But there was a new problem. The Burgman's mirrors are lower than other bikes', looking under your arms . In the top quarter of each one you see your hand on the bar. With handlebar muffs fitted, too much rear vision is obscured. Too much for my liking, anyway, so I took them off.
Now I'm back where I started. Yesterday, on my 80-mile ride home from work, the rain fell heavily and the temperature dropped to 8°C. The grips were on full blast and I could hardly feel any warmth. The short story is: they don't get hot enough.
It's not disastrous just yet but will become a problem in winter. I'm thinking heated gloves. But isn't that like buying a dog and barking yourself?
Otherwise, I could hardly be enjoying the Burgman more. It's the best vehicle in the world for my 160-mile daily commute. More about that in MCN, on sale May 15.

"Manning up"
"Manning up" is stupid, as of course freezing hands, shivering, etc negatively affect your control of the bike. Would you rather look tough or not crash?

WTCC: Tom Coronel shocked by the condition of his crashed car
|By Peter Mills
|Friday, April 18th 2014, 12:04 GMT
World Touring Car Championship veteran Tom Coronel admitted to being shocked by the condition of his car in the Paul Ricard paddock following his heavy accident at Marrakech last Sunday.
The Dutchman will sit out the second round of the season in France owing to damage sustained in a violent start-line accident involving Honda racer Mehdi Bennani in Morocco.
"It's unbelievable," said Coronel, "I have just arrived here and I felt my stomach tighten when I saw the car. It is not right.
"The publicity we had after the crash has been amazing, but as a sportsman it is not what you want.
"There was a good possibility to score, and if it ends up like this it just hurts."
Immediately after the accident, Coronel feared that the extensive damage to his Cruze could threaten his season, but he is now optimistic that he will be back in action for round three in Hungary.
"The car will be sent to RML today," he added. "They have three days to repair it.
"It is short - very short - but everybody knows they are very strong. Everybody knows what they are capable of.
"As you can imagine, for Budapest we will not be 100 per cent ready, of course we will have small problems. We have lost a lot of mileage.
"I have to catch up slowly, because if you catch up too quickly you create problems."
Coronel, who will act as a commentator for Eurosport this weekend, admitted to taking comfort in the first-race pace of the Cruze in Marrakech.
"We knew it's best of the rest, that's why I picked it," he said. "At least I am in a better position this year than last year with the BMW.
"To be honest, everybody can drive this car. It is a well-built, easy car.
"I think for newcomers it is an easy car to score points in. RML just built an unbelievably good customer car."

How the Hornbuckles overcame heroin
By Jon Solomon
By Drew Ailes
The "collective" part of Animal Collective's name is meant literally. Although the group is built around a core quartet -- Avey Tare, Geologist, Deaken and, inevitably, Panda Bear -- the musicians play and record in assorted configurations; some tracks feature just one of them, while others include all four. This flexibility encourages contributions from guests such as violinist Eyvind Kang and pianist Kristín Anna Valtysdóttir, who appear on People, the outfit's most recent EP. Despite its brevity, the disc gives a good indication of the act's idiosyncrasies. The title cut, presented in studio and live versions, is a rambling quasi-drone that pits intricate guitar arpeggios against feverish singing/shrieking, "Tikwid" sports a delicate indie-pop feel, and the warped "My Favorite Colors" suggests an alien lullaby. Oddities like these have beguiled so many critics that Domino Records, home of the Arctic Monkeys, has decided to take a flier on the band; a new album is slated for September release. Domino's decision is an example of Collective wisdom or Collective insanity, and perhaps both.

Canonical launches Ubuntu-powered cloud cluster in a box
Summary: The Orange Box cluster is designed to encourage companies to experiment with Canonical's Ubuntu OS and orchestration tools when building cloud and distributed compute clusters.
Canonical — the company behind Ubuntu — is to encourage companies to build clouds around its tools by selling a micro cluster in a box.
The Orange Box is a 40 core, 10-node cluster packed inside a luggable flight case to allow rapid deployment of a cloud stack.
To streamline deployment and management of software across the cluster, it will ship with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64-bit OS and JuJu cloud orchestration tools. And, to simplify hardware configuration, the cluster will also include Canonical's metal as a service software.
Canonical suggests the cluster is suited to deploying software from the OpenStack cloud infrastructure project, the Cloud Foundry platform, Hadoop clusters, and highlights the hundreds of JuJu charms that provide blueprints for deploying common cloud workloads.
Each node in the cluster includes an Intel i5-3427U processor, 16GB of DDR3 RAM, 120GB of SSD storage, an Intel HD 4000 GPU, and an Intel gigabit network interface controller. Four of the 10 nodes will include additional solid state drive and one of the 10 nodes will feature an Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6235 wi-fi adapter and a 2TB hard drive.
Each node is connected to a D-Link DGS-1100-16 managed gigabit switch with 802.1q VLAN support. Six Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports are exposed on the rear panel, as are three USBs and an HDMI. The cluster is served by a 100V–240V power supply.
The box itself measures 290mm by 213mm by 545mm and weighs 17kg when empty and 32kg when loaded with accessories.
The Orange Box is available from Tranquil PC for £7,575 in its base configuration.
Canonical offers two days of training with its engineers on how to use Ubuntu, MAAS, JuJu and other tools with the cluster, as well as consultation on rolling out these tools for use within the business.
Canonical is attempting to position the Ubuntu OS and its orchestration tools as an integral part of cloud stacks.
