12 Best Games For Flexing Your PC's Muscle
Here are 12 games that'll have your friends going green with envy at your bleeding-edge PC's bulging Tech Biceps. Jump past the break to see them all.
Realistic Graphics (Tie): Crysis 2
Regardless of how you feel about the game, there's no denying it: Crysis 2 is a looker. Sure, it might have blown even more minds if it hadn't made the nanosuit-powered leap to consoles, but the game's hyper-detailed decaying cityscapes and alien-devoured slices of scorched earth are truly sights to behold. The level of variation in environments, too, elevates this one's showcase potential beyond that of its predecessors.
Realistic Graphics (Tie): Bulletstorm
When it comes to frightening levels of detail, CryEngine 3 and Unreal Engine 3 are at the top of the game. And so, just as CryEngine's most recent product is a clear best-in-class, so too is Bulletstorm. On top of being loud, crass, and utterly unashamed, Bulletstorm's gorgeous. It's also insanely colorful – something once thought impossible from an engine that invented new shades of brown to avoid exploring the visible light spectrum.
Devil's in The Details: Metro 2033
Metro may not be in quite the same league as Crysis 2 and Bulletstorm when it comes to sheer visual oomph, but that's not the point. Instead, the game's locations teem with tiny details – dust flecks floating about, makeshift clotheslines, rotting bar tables, crowds of people. In its own way, Metro is one of the most beautiful games out there. It's a post-apocalyptic world whose every inch hides some new treat for your senses.
Most Characters On-Screen at Once: Shogun 2: Total War
The Total War franchise has always been known for its ludicrously large armies, and the latest entry in the franchise doesn't disappoint. Sometimes, we find ourselves motionlessly marveling at all the tiny men duking it out on our screen. Not-so-coincidentally, those are the same times we find ourselves losing. Horrendously.
Best Draw Distance: Just Cause 2
Fog. It's dreary, depressing, and has rendered many a videogame character all but invisible the second you stepped more than two feet away from them. Not so with Just Cause 2. Near, far, wherever you are, details abound. Lush jungles, snow-capped mountains, airplanes that have been grappling-hooked to other airplanes – Just Cause 2 has it all. 400 square miles of "it all," to be more specific. Also Bolo Santosi, but we don't talk about her.
FIRE: Far Cry 2
Far Cry 2 is far from perfect, but when it gets something right, it goes all the way. Its environments look great, but you know what's even better? Setting them on fire. Smokey Bear would have a field day with this one, but he's not in Africa. Also, fictional. At any rate, Far Cry 2′s fire spreads into a sea of all-devouring orange. It's the perfect game for the arsonist in your life who you'd really like to distract so that he stops trying to burn down your house.
Physics: Red Faction Guerrilla
Physics is the king of sciences. Disagree? Try playing Guerrilla and saying that again. Put simply, everything breaks. And it's glorious. Concrete turns to dust, sheets of metal tumble every which way, and – with startling frequency – something explodes. Really, it's like watching a train wreck, only you're not just watching. Destruction completely alters the way you play, and it's an absolute joy to behold. Also, two words: Ostrich Hammer.
Best 3D: Crysis 2
Love it or hate it blah blah blah we already did that part. Bottom line: Crysis 2 is a tech marvel, and that extends to its 3D implementation as well. The game was designed from the ground-up with 3D in mind, and it shows. Even your HUD pops when the third dimension involved. This isn't some slapdash attempt to catch a ride on the 3D bandwagon. It's the real deal – one of the few games we'd deem worthy of investing in the necessary hardware for full effect.
2D Graphics: Braid
2D's days in the spotlight may be long passed, but that doesn't mean it's a dead form. Evidence? Well, Braid, for one. The time-bending 2D platformer will almost certainly tie your brain in knots with its devious puzzles and bottomless plot, but your eyes will be too busy learning how to love to notice. Rich, warm colors and lavish hand-drawn vistas are the stars of the show here. Are games art? Who knows? But Braid is like looking at a painting.
Sound (Explodey): BF Bad Company 2
Plenty of games toss around fancy words like "surround sound" and "guns that don't remind you of watching flies ping harmlessly off a bug zapper," but few really use them. BC2, however, sounds like an actual, well, battlefield. Explosions pound, gunfire closes in, and each weapon has its own sonic signature. If you want to put your brand new speakers through their paces and probably wake your neighbors (and the dead), this is your game.
Sound (Scary): Dead Space 2
Generally, we consider ourselves mature, well-adjusted adults. There are certain things, however, that will reduce us to cowering children in the blink of an eye. All of them are Dead Space 2. Every gory piece of the game is horrifying in some way or another, but incredible sound design stitches the experience together. Pained screams, clumsy thunking sounds, and so much more create a haunting aural landscape that feels like it's out to get you.
Music: Audiosurf
We're not including this one as a game so much as we're considering it a really awesome visualizer. Audiosurf takes your music, chews on it for a couple seconds, and then spits out an entire racing track based on your music's tempo, variation, etc. It's an incredibly fun (and often relaxing) way to experience music, making it the perfect way to break in a new speaker system.

Rediscovering PHP
So last night, armed with my nifty new font, I decided I'd get a move on with the next top-level version of Enthusiast. (Yes, I've started working on Enthusiast 4.0.)
(For those of you interested in it, it will probably be slow going, as whatever free time I have needs to be spent juggling between rest/recreation/social/family/other hobbies… and because I'm putting in a lot more effort in the backbone, and in usability.)
One thing I've always believed in is that you only get as good as what you actually do. That one might read a lot of tech blogs, a lot of white papers, a lot of those hifalutin framework blueprints… but if you don't get down and dirty with code, you can't expect to get better. It's a given that the first few codes you churn out will be riddled with flaws. That's normal, but that's better than never getting over that simply because "I can't fully understand OOP yet, I need to read more about it". Ugh, get a grip, and get on with playing with code.
My first PHP project, way back when I was doing self-studying, was actually the precursor to Enthusiast. It was the script that handled my then-fanlisting, Bubblegum Crisis. After it was working, I moved on to the first "system" — an admin tool for handling my directory for NeoPets galleries. I actually put up that site, got a pretty nice following for it, and then when I weaned off NeoPets, I shut it down.
And then I started working on Enthusiast (the single-fanlisting version).
Without these first projects, I'd never have learned PHP. And this time, with PHP4′s End of Life looming in the distance, Enthusiast will be bringing me forward to PHP5. OOP, Exceptions, and many newfangled stuff in PHP isn't new to me, but it's been a while since I've actually handled PHP code continuously (almost eight months–the same time I've been with Yahoo! as a frontend engineer). I will be getting personal with a lot of these new things, in order to do what I need for it to do. And that's quite exciting.
For anyone who's thinking of learning PHP, the best way to learn really is by doing something you're passionate about using PHP. I was passionate about NeoPets galleries; I was passionate about fanlistings. The passion drives you forward, and that's a great thing to have.
I will probably be blogging here occasionally about new things I find out while working with PHP, or thoughts on development in general — what would you like to hear about?
I don't know if you're up for this, but maybe an implemented news script in Enthusiast itself? Currently I'm using FanUpdate for that and although it works great, I would rather have it all be implemented in one system. I know this might take a hell of a lot of work and you might not be up for it, but it's just a suggestion.
I'm very glad with the way Enth is so far, but a KIM list would be a nice idea too. Thanks for the wonderful script.
@Nelson: I'm using PEAR for the mailer, and I'm basically echoing what settings it needs. I remember working before with SMTP servers that don't require authentication for sending, hence I do allow that in the settings page. Whether people check or not is up to their server's settings :)
I've never had problems with affiliate images paths personally, and I do use absolute paths, actually. If you're having problems with images, you might want to ask at CodeGrrl.
Looking forward to this one. I've been having errors with 3.1.3. lately.
In SMTP authentication settings, the checkbox with label "Yes, SMTP server requires authentication" should always be checked when SMTP is chosen as the mailer option. It may be left unchecked sometimes you know. Sometimes, when I approve a new member I don't see any message in the error log. The next time I see it, it's already loaded with two or three.
Paths to images doesn't seem friendly to me (I don't know with the others) at all. For instance, affiliate images are visible in the administration panel but are not when called by the function that lists them down. I think this can be resolved by allowing absolute paths.
Quite related to the previous query, there seems to be small bugs lurking behind uploading.
I'm glad to hear that you're developing Enthusiast 4! Everything's running well at 3 so I couldn't think of that much to suggest.
Maybe a mini userpic/gravatar on the fan pages for each fan? =)
Oh, it.. it is? I might not have done a proper upgrade then. I'll download a fresh copy and see. :)
Hello Vickie, #3 and #5 is already in the latest Enth version. :)
Angela, thank you so much for your hard work. I love Enthusiast! :D I'm so glad to read that you haven't abandoned the project. Hmm, I don't have time to read through what everybody else said so they might already be mentioned, but here's a few things I would personally love to see in Enth 4 without us having to go into the files and edit them every time we upgrade.
mass delete function
option to edit timezone from server time
option to completely take out target in links
additional fields in update form to follow addform.inc
show sort option and country, fave, etc. on all pages of fan list
That's all I can remember for now. Thanks so much again! :D
I can't thank you enough for putting so much hard work into Enthusiast! It really makes life easier. :) That said, I'd like to echo the request for increased spam protection and/or a mass-delete function. As I type this I'm in the middle of deleting over 400 spam submissions to my fanlistings…one at a time. I keep avoiding updating my fanlistings because I don't want to have to deal with it. I realize you're on a deadline to get out the initial release, but I'm crossing my fingers that you have time to throw in an image verification! Or better yet, a virtual laser gun that will shoot spammers in the head through their computer screen when they press the submit button. Too much? ;)
The markup Enth will be using in the next version will definitely be more semantic. That's actually one point that I'm still deciding on, if I will be staying with XHTML or HTML… still no decisions there yet. :)
I've something to add, also. :)
I would like to see labels added to the input fields, please, such as on my custom join pages (http://www.tyomnaya-noch.net/knopfler/join.php). Every time I upgrade Enth I go through and recode the join form which can be quite time consuming, but it would make the forms very accessible and even easier to use. Just a thought :)
Hi Kya, thanks! I won't promise these will be in the new Enth, but I appreciate the feedback. :) Right now the biggest priority for me is to get it out the door with the new code rewritten to make it easier to add on to, and to make sure it's out before PHP4 EOL hits. This might even mean some current features won't be included in the initial release — it all depends. :)
I was randomly thinking of some ideas for things I would love on Enth and decided to write them down. I wasn't going to share them for some unknown reason but thought I will. Some might be totally silly, but they might have some interest. :)
- Make it multi user, so people can log in and have different levels. For instance if you wanted to co-own a fanlisting with someone you could create an account for them and set them so they have access to manage certain fanlistings.
- Manage codes for the site. CodeSort is an amazing script and manages the codes awesomely, but you have to have an addional script installed and if you could take what was great with that script and work it into the framework of Enth (either in your own way, or what already exists) that would be cool. You would also have the ability to say 'we have 105 codes in 4 categories' so you could have stats displayed.
- Affiliate form or approval system. If you could have some type of approval system for affiliates this would just be wonderful. You could have a 'join' type of thing, where affiliates enter a form (possibly uploading a code) and you approve or reject them and they are emailed and added to the site and the database.
- Stop the spam. This is one problem I have a lot of. Spam members harassing the hell out of me. Maybe a verification image needs to be used, or at least adding that feature and having the option to turn it on or not. I think that would stop a lot of nightmares for people. Or even having the option to 'reject all' I know you have said this is a bit iffy, but if all options fail it would be good.
- Owned, Upcoming and Pending Templates. I would like to see the option to be able to edit the owned, upcoming and pending templates in the admin panel, and by this a mean a separate way of being able to display them. This would just be another way to customize it to perfection.
- KIM section. I am not 100% about this one, but a KIM type of section might be a good idea. You could have a form that would allow people to be added to a list, like some random scripts that suit this purpose. I am not sure how well this would go.
All done. XP
I'd been meaning to write another tutorial at some point — maybe an Enth one would be good for the next one. ;)
All good points that I never would have thought of because I never really think about enth that much (which is, imho, the mark of a good program… something that can be used without really having to think too much about it). I might play around with a few things when I have some time and see what I can come up with, but my tweaking abilities only go so far. If I figure out a little more about PHP, I might be able to whip something up, but I'm not holding my breath. Maybe that KIM script I have stashed away will give me some insight on how it works. Hmm. Thanks for the suggestions, though. This all might eventually point me in the right direction (hopefully without screwing anything up… maybe I"ll just use a dummy installation to play with it).
Ooooh, I'm so exited what the new Enth will bring, because the ooooooold *ironic laughter* Enth 3 is already perfect and so complex.
The only thing I would wish is an affiliates crosslisting. F.e. that I can add an affiliate to all of my Star Wars fanlistings at once. KIM would be great also.
Oh, and maybe it would possible to add the dashboard function to show overdue fanlistings on every site, but at least the members approving site? Because I use that as favourite, so I can approve right away.
Happy coding!
With a bit of modification, using a special country list wouldn't be too difficult. Only, what happens when someone wants to be on the KIM list for multiple fanlistings you have? There's no way to have someone listed under two countries. It's pretty much the same "issue" with just using an additional field and hiding the country. You can use an addform.inc.php file to change the additional field into a dropdown box for sure, and change the "Sort members by" field to your additional field name, but you're still limited to one fanlisting/value for each person who signs up.
Wow, I had no idea it was so complicated. :3 If there's a way to modify the 'country' list into a list of fanlistings, that would probably work too, but it would probably be more trouble than it's worth for everyone. From poking around the enth coding, it probably wouldn't be the easiest thing to alter because the 'country' list would be something different for that specific fanlisting, and I'm not sure if there's a way to set that up. Then again, I don't know anything about writing code, so that may not even be an option.
KIM lists should be easy to do in Enth as another fanlisting when a feature such as allowing a checkbox in additional fields is done — this has been on my mind for a while now as something I need to implement (useful for favorite movies by an actor in an actor fanlisting, that sort of thing) but haven't gotten around to (and now it's moving on to Enth 4.0! whew). There are a number of limitations with that sort of implementation, though — well, not the least of it is because Enth (as it is right now) can't use checkboxes. LOL XD
I've looked at a lot of fanlisting scripts, and nothing matches up to enth. The only thing I think of that would be useful would be a "keep in mind" list feature. I've got a script for it, but I haven't set it up yet. I'm sure it's fine, but I've been overly cautious because of the fiasco with the security flaws in another fanlisting script I used a few years back.
@Lia: Thanks! I'm glad Enth continues to be useful :) I'm half thinking that by this time (due to my inactivity with Enth and in the fanlistings community in general) Enth would be slowly becoming less useful/important. IT is a fast-paced industry, so it's possible the useful tools one day would be so-ten-years-ago the next.
@Hikoto: True, it's all a matter of what you're passionate about ;)
Well, take it at your own pace, Angela! There's no rush! ^_^.
Sometimes I feel that it would be great if I knew PHP, then I could write custom scripts for my sites tailored to my needs, but ahh, I guess I have passions that burn stronger than that desire, so I'm really grateful for having Enthusiast sitting on my server! (:
I'm so glad you've got your mojo back (er, so to speak) and are working on a new version. I've loved enth since I started using it years ago, and I'd never use anything different for my multitude of fanlistings. Thanks for all the hard work you do, you've made something really great that I couldn't function without.
@Kya: Thanks!
@Mosey: Enth3 does work for me well, hence the delay and foot-shuffling before getting a move on with the next version. Plus there's obviously a bit of learning curve to be overcome, as I'm doing OOP for Enth 4.x — obviously PHP5 will be a requirement. :) But I'm pretty psyched myself at having shiny new things to tinker with, that's for sure! And, you should try PHP ;) 'tis fun. Hee!
To put this cheesily – you are uber cool! :) I'm very glad to read the news about Enthusiast 4.0 being in the works, not because I'm not satisfied with the 3.0 series (it works just the way I love it!) but because of the new PHP5 being so amazingly amazing? Although I avidly follow tech blogs and bone up on the latest developments of WordPress, freewares etc. I still have little-to-no-coding experience beyond HTML/CSS, but it's always exciting to read that a good yet dormant project has become active again!
Maybe one day I'll find that passion to learn PHP properly! If not, at least design a WordPress theme properly! :D
Good luck! I know whatever you create is going to be amazing and I can't wait, but I am happy to be patient because you do have many other things that are important. That is the one thing about having a passion or true love for something, it seems to bend through space and time. You can spend hours on end doing things for your desires and you don't even notice a second has passed.
Good luck! :)

Merchandise seen in this episode:
Those in attendance not only got a chance to participate in a Q&A with Michael, but they were also able to view costumes from films he's worked on, and costume design illustrations never shown to the public before.
Wilkinson was able to attend the event during a break in filming on "Batman v Superman", before he headed off to New Mexico, where he has his work cut out for him creating costumes for 60 extras...
Superman, The Flash, Bane, The Joker and other characters are available. Which one you get with your Kids Meal purchase is up to chance (or so I've been told).
Here's part of the interview in which Dan talks about the public reaction to the "Death of Superman"...
It's hard to paraphrase, but I think almost every major newspaper had a columnist who wrote something about "What Does Superman Mean To Us?" And "What does it mean when he's gone?" And they might have pointed to a national cynicism or, loss of innocence, or maybe there's no longer a place for a big blue boycott, or maybe e those people who are in charge have no idea what they're doing, or something like that. That's what it got into.
And what was the fan community's response back then? You didn't have the Internet's echo chamber to fall back on. How did you deal with the outcry that followed the issue?
The outcry actually started long before. Once the solicitation catalogs came out, that's when it really started. That's where, you're right, the Internet, while it existed, it wasn't there in the sense we know it today. It was just barely a glimmer in anyone's eye. More than anything, we had the letters. We got them at the office, we got the phone calls, that's how we heard back. In a way, it was a little more immediate. And when I say "immediate," that's because people - it's so easy just to drop a comment on a message board these days. But back then, you had to pick up the phone and actually make a call. Or you had to sit down, write a letter, and send it in. We started hearing from people as soon as the solicitations came out.
Produced and directed by Tommy Williamson.
When I wrote this script, it was all about putting Jay through his paces. I wanted to do a very slow, creepy, what is going... Why would there be money floating around? And then the action of Batman and Superman, the strangeness of Lex Luthor investigating the League, so that Jay would have to do everything in this first issue.
Like the Diana/Lex scene, it's Lex projecting onto Diana all this stuff that she would never do. She just wants to figure this out. That scene in particular scene has a nice subtly of character that Jay captured beautiful.

Sandals Resorts
- Details
Our strong partnership recognized by Sandals and Beaches resorts and our superb customer service will give you 100% confidence when making your reservations with us. Our Sandals Certified Preferred sales staff, who have been to all of the resorts themselves, can help pick the perfect resort for you and give you the best customer service!
Sandals Montego Bay Resort & Spa
The fun never sets at Sandals Montego Bay. Always swaying and smiling and showing off its breathtaking natural beauty, its unbelievably long and perfect white-sand beach and its incredible pulsating energy, this spot will enliven your days, enrapture your evenings and awaken you to a heightened state of being. The very first Sandals to open its doors and invite lovers to fall in love all over again, this place welcomes you into its heart and enters your soul, so completely that, no matter where you roam, you're always drawn to come back home.
TripGuy's Take:
Perfect for the couple who wants convenience to the airport (5 minutes away) for a special 3-4 night stay. SMB is also one of the more active properties where more social couples can enjoy meeting others.....relaxing but also can become a party. Exchange privileges with Sandals Royal Caribbean and it's private island make this a really good pick.
Sandals Whitehouse European Village & Spa
On the untouched South Coast of Jamaica, Sandals Whitehouse European Village & Spa is a 50-acre seaside fantasy within a 500-acre reserve. In an impressive European village, you can stroll an expansive Italian piazza reminiscent of St. Mark's square in Venice... and be surrounded by the sophistication of France, the passion of Italy, and the charm of Holland with restaurants, duty free shops, and magnificent formal gardens bordering an endless stretch of pristine beach.
TripGuy's Take:
Perfect for a couple who wants an oceanview room (all rooms are oceanview), away from the touristy areas in Jamaica. Beach is 2nd best for Sandals properties in Jamaica after Negril. Newest property, built from the ground up in 2005. About 75 minutes from the airport. Lots of natural beauty in this area of the South Coast and quickly becomes a favorite Sandals Resort for many of our clients.
Located in Montego Bay, Jamaica, this resort features classical Georgian architecture, rich mahogany paneling and manicured grounds that welcome you to a place reminiscent of the grandest British manor houses. Sandals Royal Caribbean Resort transports you to a timeless experience of impeccable service, genteel manners and effortless sophistication, all set against the vivid aquamarine majesty of the Caribbean Sea. And, when you're ready to venture even further afield, our offshore island awaits, burgeoning with the exotic allure of the orient.
TripGuy's Take:
Perfect for couples who want the elegance, and the relaxation of Sandals Whitehouse or Negril, but who don't want the 75 minutes driving or more in each direction. Private island off-shore adds some additional excitement to the resort that will soon house luxurious rooms in addition to a great beach, restaurant, and spa facilities. One of our most popular Sandals Resorts for Destination Weddings and Groups due to its elegance and proximity to airport.
Sandals Negril Beach Resort & Spa
Enter the elegantly rustic, jewel-like lobby and immediately come face to face with a beach so magnificent it takes your breath away. A half mile of pearl-white sand arcing in a perfect crescent, kissed by translucent turquoise water-the spectacular sight of the undulating aquamarine sea greets you from every corner of Sandals Negril. The lushness of the gardens, the staff's easygoing warmth and the ever-present, soothing sound of surf - you'll find time slipping away as you become one with the carefree Negril state of mind.
TripGuy's Take:
Perfect for the beach lover who wants one of the most elegant Sandals properties in Jamaica. The new River Suites with butler service are the best that Sandals has to offer in Jamaica.....and also some of the most expensive. Lots of activities available outside the resort including Rick's Cafe. This resort is for beach lovers.
Nestled between luxuriant hillside gardens and the glistening turquoise waters of the Caribbean, this modern-day Garden of Eden promises a veritable taste of paradise. From championship golf and a renowned scuba program to private strolls along Ocho Rios' longest sugar-white-sand beach; from world-class gourmet dining to stolen moments amid the fragrant, jasmine-scented gardens, this exquisite sanctuary offers something to tempt even the most demanding of souls. Who knew that giving into temptation could be so good for you?!
TripGuy's Take:
Perfect for the active couple who wants the most activities Sandals as to offer...golf, rockwall, huge pool, water sports, tennis, etc..Lots of walking involved on property. The renovation completed in 2011 made major enhancements to the overall property and our customer reviews. Quickly becoming a new favorite due to the Riviera/Beach club area.
For the ultimate in exclusivity and indulgent pampering, escape to Sandals Royal Plantation, the only all-butler, all-suite boutique resort in the Sandals collection. Nestled within a magnificent coral bluff on Jamaica's lush north coast, this intimate resort of just 74 ocean-view suites is renowned for its impeccable service, unmatched attention to detail and retro-chic sophistication - complete with all the world-class amenities for which Sandals in renowned. Come explore the quieter side of Sandals at the world's only all-inclusive resort to be granted membership in the prestigious Leading Small Hotels of the World, and the only Leading Spa in all of Jamaica.
TripGuy's Take:
The "Un-Sandals". Amazing white-glove customer service found at the best boutique hotels in the world. Guests here can also use the facilities at Sandals Grand Riviera if you are looking for a little more entertainment during the day or at night. Ultimate in luxury. Amazing service and relaxing feel drives guests to book this property over and over. Great for honeymoons and anniversaries.
Step through double French doors, set directly across from the sparkling azure Caribbean, and enter an island hideaway where you're always at home and you'll never have to lift a finger. Incredibly intimate and dripping with charm, Sandals Carlyle is your very own version of a Jamaican villa where you can stroll barefoot through lush gardens, float lazily in the pool as you sip sinful concoctions and bask in the super-warm and attentive service of a staff dedicated to welcoming you to your sublime sanctuary under the tropical sun.
TripGuy's Take:
Perfect for the couple who wants the Sandals experience, the ability to visit the other Sandals properties, but without the higher Sandals cost.
Sandals La Toc Golf Resort & Spa
Set along a half-mile crescent-shaped beach, this 210-acre enclave spares no detail to bring you an infinitely romantic getaway. Amenities such as one of the largest freshwater pools in the Eastern Caribbean, our own rolling fairways and the magnificent new Villa Suites on Sunset Bluff bring Sandals Regency St. Lucia Golf Resort & Spa to the pinnacle of perfection.
TripGuy's Take:
Perfect for the couple who wants a little of everything...9 hole golf course, most restaurants on the island and even more bars. Great stretch of beach and even some of the elegance found at Sandals Grande. The Sunset Bluff rooms on the cliff overlooking the rooms are just amazing. More and more of our clients are finding this to be their favorite Sandals Resort in the entire chain.
St. Lucia's ultimate beach resort. With its classic Caribbean architecture and magical tropical gardens, it's an open invitation to a true garden party. Three gourmet restaurants are highlighted by the legendary Pier Restaurant, the island's most impressive dining experience set directly on the sea. For in this enchanted paradise time moves at a more languid pace to create halcyon days and passionate nights.
TripGuy's Take:
Perfect for the couple who wants to be able to have a relaxing, mellow vacation on a great beach on a great island. We've found the smaller size of this resort perfect for those looking to both socialize with other guests or being completely private, depending on your goals.
Sandals Grande St. Lucian Beach Resort & Spa
Built in the style of a British palace where majestic stone archways lead through a three-story open-air lobby, Sandals Grande St. Lucian is framed by spectacular mountain views and edged by the island's most dramatically perfect beach. Indulge in everything aquatic from scuba-diving to swimming in a choice of four impressive pools - including a creative lagoon pool that lets guests swim right up their rooms.
TripGuy's Take:
Perfect for the couple who wants elegance and glamour on an exotic island. It's called the Grande for a reason. Best beach in St. Lucia. More social atmosphere than Sandals La Toc.
Sandals Grande Antigua Resort & Spa
Set on breathtaking Dickenson Bay,the island's best and most famous beach, this romantic getaway offers the charm of a quaint Caribbean village accompanied by the refined luxuries of a world-class all-inclusive that has been voted World's Leading Honeymoon Resort four six years in a row. Here you can engage in every land and water sport such as water skiing, scuba diving and an impressive fitness center.Then relax at our full-service spa. When it comes to dining, there are five extraordinary restaurants to choose from. Discover Sandals Antigua and rediscover each other.
TripGuy's Take:
Perfect for the couple who wants a different type of island, but still wants the utmost in a Sandals experience. Amazing new Med. Village with very modern rooms with all the creature comforts.
Sandals Royal Bahamian Resort & Spa
Sandals Royal Bahamian, winner of the prestigious Five Star Diamond Award, stands alone as the premier destination for couples who demand only the very best. From our offshore island - a veritable resort within a resort - to world-class dining in 8 gourmet restaurants; from rooms and suites, ranging from the merely sumptuous to the over-the-top lavish, to Versailles - like gardens filled with stunning statuary - you'll know, beyond a doubt, that you've discovered paradise.
TripGuy's Take:
Perfect for a couple who wants the proximity to the US, golf, casinos, and all that Atlantis and other attractions have to offer. Enhancements to the Balmoral Tower in 2012 make those rooms the best on property and some of the best in the entire Sandals chain. Perfect mid-size resort great for groups, weddings, and romantic getaways. Private island offshore is being expanded also.
Sandals Emerald Bay in the Exumas
Amazing former-Four Seasons property that opened as a Sandals property in January 2010. Amazing rooms overlooking crystal clear Bahamas sea. Resort also features an amazing Greg Norman Golf course, huge Red Lane Spa with Lifefitness equipment, harbor for your yacht, 6 restaurants, miles of beaches and more.
TripGuy's Take:
Perfect for a couple who wants the proximity to the US, golf, romance of an exotic island, and to be pampered with butler or concierge service. Very rich and luxurious feel to the property.

I am a newly married man in my middle 30s trying to get serious about the one thing I have wanted to do my entire life -- writing.
Review by:
Imagine Press
on Jan. 04, 2011 :
I'm a bit of a picky reader, partly because I'm a writer myself. While reading, without meaning to, I'm evaluating the writing instead of getting lost in the story.
But with this book by Jarrett Rush, I got lost in the story and there are two main reasons for that.
1. The writing was really, really good.
2. The story was fabulous.
I found his characters believable. His dialogue was perfect; not forced or rushed. The scenes were well written and led me to see the new world he developed. I was surprised by his imagination too because he came up with a story conflict that only this story could have.
Well done Jarrett but I need more. You now have one more faithful reader. Thank you.

This Staten Island singer-songwriter has become an inescapable presence on TV, with her songs becoming background music on numerous morning and late-night shows alongside her many appearances and the inescapability of the warm, sweet "The Way I Am." And though she's only broken through in the last year or two, she's actually four albums into her career with no sign of stopping or slowing down. Anyone want to bet against her for a slot on the revitalized Lilith Festival?

Now this is clever...
My 23 year old Yamaha YX600 Radian automatically senses when it is raining then acts to soften the power delivery to reduce the risk of a mishap on a slick corner . Not that the has much power anyway, but unlike the honda, my bike will sense moderate rain and then drop a cylinder - softening the power! In heavier rain it will drop to two cylinders leaving me with a sedate 300cc twin to safely continue my journey unitil it dries up a bit. When the rain stops and roads are drying, normal 4 cylinder service is restored.
Doesn't anybody else's bike do this?

Quote "The engineer was also keen to point out that the V4 enjoys the same much-praised crossplane effect as the R1. "Yamaha would have built a real V4 if they thought they had the experience to do it"
I don't think this comment from the Honda engineer is valid. Yamaha prefer to retain the I4 for the R1 because of the inherent advantage of front weight distribution. They incorporated the Long bang angine to have the best of both world.
Yamaha has a real V4..... it's called the Vmax!

As in all these things technology doesnt come free and costs even more for the customer to maintain. the vfr800 has formidable servicing costs, how long and how much for a valve shim check? makes a ducati look cheap. Can you imagine how much a clutch mechanism with ecu would cost?
I think there is some interesting technology here, and I think it is way beyond time that a manufacturer finally grabs the fact that many people want a bike that gives better consumption than a car It is all very well governments dictating pollution levels, they should now be dictating fuel economy levels as well. Not everyone wants to go 2000MPH ! However Honda (car or bike) have never been very good on fuel economy so I am pleased to see that finally they may be addressing that.

Yes they are getting much more complicated and the need of qualified technicians goes with it. The downside is cost. No longer will many service, or be able to service their bikes in their garages. But the proof will be in the riding of this bike. If it is all that it's being made out to be it ought to be quite a ride. Not everyone's cup of tea but I for one think it's well past time that Honda spreads its wings and shows what it can do. Their offerings in this country (USA) have gone stale for too long!

As a previous owner of a V4 but a VFR750 V4, I find this new 1200 V4 a complete and excellent concept of modern tecono. I had 4years of great fun on my VFR and I must say that it just went all the time [and it went very well], always kept up with the big boys out there offering me great reward at the end of the days ride.
I have now moved on as a family member needed to buy my bike, so now I ride the new Honda CBF1000. This bike is a bigger fit for me {not as cramped as the 750 was] and I find it a more relaxed ride. The fuel tank is smaller on it but it still gives the same distance with a much greater speed acceleration and cornering is fab, as the bike just loves the corners [narrower tryes then the 750 had]. The 750 got 300Ks a tank full on tour, the 1000 [in line four] gets the same with 17 lts , the 750 had about 22lts.
If the new VFR1200 is as good as it should be then yes I'll be one to buy ONE. But I do reserve that to the fact that the 1200 should also be of modern sports bike weight [no over the 200kgs]. My 1000 is just about that figure and it feels good on the road. heres hoping the 12's a good one to aim for [as in price as well].

People should expect from this bike only what it is advertised to do. Things like consumption and simplicity are found in so many other alternatives. After all this is meant to revolutionise the biking world with its performane like the VFR400 had done. When the VFR was voted best roadbike for years in the nineties, it wasn't because it was the most economical bike. My '97 VFR750 isn't exactly economical either, but I wouldn't change it for any other bike at present.

This bike pffft.Ok boys lets get a VFR and a Pan throw it in a blender and see if the suckers swallow it.A poor design effort.Is this the company that gave us the RC30/45 ,CB1100R, the Fireblade (excluding the styling disaster of the 08 fairing,the snub nose and the side vents pfft...). Honda why are you wasting money in moto GP and throwing away your great heratige in search of blandness.Give us a modern 1100R, bring back the SP versions.I conceed the need for high end tourers, but Honda go back to what you do best,give us some cutting edge high quality machinery that the company is known for.The engineering is as sound as ever, but the europeans are starting to overtake the japanese with innovation, styling, performance and reliability.

The 2014 Pennsylvania Autism Census Update now estimates that there are over 55,000 children and adults with autism receiving services, which is almost triple the number initially identified. The study found that the number of individuals with autism receiving services in all age groups has increased tremendously since the original census study was released.

Best of Mercedes-Benz Kiev Fashion Days
Even a year ago, we knew that Ukraine had a unique fashion scene. We decided to make the long trek to Mercedes-Benz Kiev Fashion Days to see what people were wearing and what top designers are making international waves.
By Liana Satenstein
Anna October
Cocktail dresses are a dime (or a kopek) a dozen, but designer Anna October has managed to kick them up a notch with her x-ray precision and slick silhouettes. In a collection that was invested in sharp details like thigh-high slits and peekaboo waist and collarbone cut-outs, dresses shimmered in peaches and yellows. Other standout looks included white collared crop tops paired with empire trousers and a '70s style white tuxedo suit. Wearable, classic styles reigned the runway, proving that this golden child of Ukraine is American market ready.
