HOMELESS Editorial Reviews: SynopsisLive Life Loud! You passed that same ol' bum on the street this morning. You sat next to some smelly girl on the subway last night. You ordered a burger from a worn-out cashier over your lunch hour. What do you think about these people? What does God think about them? My 30 Days Under the Overpass is not a devotional you will read in your quiet time, then carry on with your day. It's something you'll actually do—all day, every day—because these thirty days will rock you. Intense reflection on God's thoughts and feelings toward the poor, broken, and downtrodden will change you…and you will begin to change the world. Not on your next mission trip. Not at church next Sunday. But right here, right now. Ask It. How do you treat others—those you like, know, don't know, don't like? Those who fall into your comfort zone, and those who shove you outside of it? Read It. Mike Yankoski and his buddy, Sam, chose to become homeless to discover their answer. Think It. Would you go sleep under a bridge in the rain? Would you panhandle for your next meal? Would you help those who do? Believe It. "I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me," said Jesus (Matthew 25:45). Live It. This is not your average devotional. You'll read it, but you'll also do it. Get ready for a life change that will change lives. "Mike takes Christ at His word, and challenges you to summon the courage to live the real Christian faith." Dean R. Hirsch, President, World Vision International Story Behind the Book"Is God enough to sustain me? Is He trustworthy? Is He worth staking my life on? What happens if I die? Will I even survive? Such questions rang loudly in my mind as Sam and I decided to lay down everything in a full embrace of the homeless life. Some experiences were uncomfortable, some shocking, some disturbing, some hilarious, and still others frustrating. But five months of life on the streets has left us, our faith, and our lives forever changed. We've been back from the streets for two years, and now this devotional makes it possible for people to make real-life changes. It contains stories and reflections not included in Under the Overpass ." —Mike YankoskiFrom the Trade Paperback edition. CERTAIN CONTENT THAT APPEARS ON THIS SITE COMES FROM AMAZON SERVICES LLC.

County is fortunate to be part of Ironman
To the editor:
The following are comments heard during the Ironman Triathlon last year:
"We are so glad you are open."
"Sometimes shops in small towns are closed during Ironman."
"What a charming town!"
Gallery 104 was filled with customers the day of Ironman 2008.
Imagine La Grange as a vacation destination for visitors from around the world.This is what we have during the Ironman competition.
I used to play baseball, and my Dad went to the games because he was always interested in whatever his children did. I remember one game especially. It was a tight game, and I happened to get a long hit. I was running around the bases as fast as I could, but I seemed to gain added strength when I heard him shouting above the crowd, "Come on home, Bob, come on home."
There's no place like home to find Miss OC
I wonder if most people realize our newly crowned Miss Oldham County 2009 is from Henry County. I am appalled our county is not represented by a resident who actually lives in Oldham County.
Officials are chugging along to preserve quiet zone
The July La Grange City Council meeting included an uninformed statement that nothing has been done by the city in the past six years to preserve the quiet zone.
Involved residents and merchants know this isn't true.
In 2003, CSX informed city officials that along with overdue safety improvements, the city needed to address new federal regulations related to a quiet zone in the downtown historic district.
The most precious things in life are done by hand. We have marvelous washing machines for clothes and for dishes, but they have never made a machine to bathe a baby. Babies are bathed by hand.
Someone wrote these words:
"I almost weep when looking back
To childhood's distant day.
I think how those hands rested not
When mine were at their play.
I've looked on hands whose form and hue
A sculptor's dream might be.
Yet are these aged, wrinkled hands,
More beautiful to me."
Through the years, I have received far more reward and affirmation for my work than I deserve.
Early one morning I got on an airplane to return home from a wonderful vacation in Hawaii. I was sleepy and tired and trying to deal with the six-hour time change.
I just wanted to rest.
Sitting beside me, however, was one of those talking people, and he kept it up, until we arrived at the airport where I was to change planes to finish the trip home.
Ironman athletes worth celebrating
The Ironman – an inconvenience?
We ought to be celebrating these athletes! What an accomplishment! Swimming, biking and running for 8 to 16 hours or more. Anybody who does that is remarkable in my book.
Homes showcased in Homearama are touted as "green" and "conservation developments."
Yeah, right.
The homes are beautiful, enviable and creative, but let's be clear.
They're not green.
There's no such thing as a 7,800-square foot green home.

Finding a haven from Sandy
Church builds temporary homes for storm victims
NEW MILFORD — Maryann Daino tried riding out Hurricane Sandy on Staten Island with her five cats, but within 10 minutes of the storm's landfall she was swept into the violent tide and found herself clinging to a tree and praying she would live.
She did, and will spend a year here, grateful for a temporary home provided by Faith Church while she figures out what will happen to her sea-swamped house. The church plans to by Dec. 23 have a new mobile home community built and filled with 20 families displaced by the hurricane.

Military heritage
Military heritage
As a fortified village ever since the Gallo-Roman times, the Dauphinoise capital expanded several times until the end of the 19th century. Today, many witnesses to the different expansion phases can still be found throughout the city.
Vestiges of the Gallo-Roman wall
Grenoble has preserved numerous vestiges of its first urban wall. Here are the places where we can still see remnants of this wall:
- Beginning of the rue Lafayette, on the end near the rue de la République : curtain and semi-cylindrical tower section.
Built at the end of the 3rd century under the reign of emperors Diocletian and Maximian (from 286 to 293), the Roman-Gallo wall mesured almot 1.5 km in length, had 39 semi-cylindrical towers, and 2 gateways. It protected an urban surface of 9 hectares, playing the role of both protective wall and status symbol.
Its construction signalled the new status of "civitas" that Diocletian had just given the city, thus marking it as an administrative capital.
The construction of the wall was very carefully carried out. The largest part, around 4 meters thick, was made of limestone rock, pebble, and tuileau rubble held together with very hard mortar.
A remarkable bonding made of small carefully extracted limestone blocks makes up the facing wall. This wall was covered with plaster. In the city, only the stone bonding remains today. The carved stones of the facing wall disappeared during the various expansion phases of the city, as they were carried off and reused by the city's inhabitants.
The rounds walkway of the cathedral chevet
As part of the cathedral's great reconstruction and enlargement campaign in the mid-13th century, the chevet was rebuilt as far away as possible, meaning partly on the Gallo-Roman wall.
This situation, which prevented the city guards from circulating along the entire rampart, made it necessary to build a rounds walkway at the top of the cathedra apse.
Built of brick in the 14th century, arrow loopholes pierce the walkway.
Keeping in time with the changes in artillery, and notably the invention of the musket, the arrow loopholes were themselves modified in the 16th century, when circular shaped gun holes were added.
The Island Tower and the vestiges of the Lesdiguières citadel
The tower is the only still-visible vestige of Grenoble's medieval fortifications. Their construction began in 1374 to the east of the old city to protect the Island suburb and the tower was completed in 1418.
This massive, rectangular-shaped construction, topped with a machicolation, remains above all a defensive structure with a very rudimentary design.
It didn't take long for the City Council to begin holding meetings here and the municipal archives soon came to be stored here, including the famous book of chains.
This was the book in which all of the city of Grenoble's charters, liberties, privileges, and rights were recorded. It was attached to the wall by an iron chain in order to prevent its theft. The Island Tower was thus in a way the first city hall.
As soon as the Duke of Lesdiguières arrived in Grenoble in 1591, he requisitioned the tower, transformed it into an arsenal, and built a military citadel around it. Nearby, two sections of the military wall still exist, featuring short arrow loopholes and an elegant overhanging turret on the corner of the wall at Jongkind quai and Lavalette square. It was at this time that the first flat-mullion windows, which are still visible today, were constructed.
Since 1994, the tower has been linked to the museum of Grenoble, of which the tower is an extension.
The Gateway to France
The new fortified wall, built by Duke of Lesdiguières from 1591 and 1620, included five gateways.
The Gateway to France, one of the entrances into the city, was completed in 1620, was the last to be built and was one of the most ornate.
The passage beneath the gateway, which used to be an entrance into the city, now houses the veterans' monument of the City of Grenoble.
Saint Laurent Gateway
The Saint Laurent gateway is the city's second preserved entrance from the 17th century. It was built in 1615 and allowed travelers to get to Savoy by following the right bank of the Isere in the Gresivaudan valley.
Integrated into the new fortifications built towards 1830 by general Haxo, the gateway saved from destruction in the second half of the 19th century by the construction of the Isere quais which absorbed traffic along the river. The Saint Laurent gateway remains a great example of 17th century defensive architecture. In this regard, the exterior façade, on the side of La Tronche, is the most interesting. We can still see the machicolation that protects the vaulted passage and the two brattices designed to protect the pedestrian doorways.
The Saint Laurent Gateway is also the only to have conserved its heavy wooded doorways, dating from the 19th century.
Until 1864, the city gateways were closed from 10p.m. to 7 a.m. The Saint Laurent gateway, however, opened at 5 a.m.
The structure was registered in 1931.
Vauban gun powder store, 10 rue du Commandant l'Herminier
Even if Vauban never got the chance to build the imposing fortifications that he had planned for Grenoble, he did manage to construct two gun powder stores, of which one still exists today.
Construction on the eastern powder store began in 1698 in the center of the former Morges bastion. This gun powder store was mainly a vast storage room protected by very thick walls.
While the lateral facades, with their massive buttresses, are original, the main façade was modified in the 19th century by General Haxo.
A high wall was built just in front of the facade, with its entrance diagonally placed in relation to the entrance of the powder store. This was to create a security area and to avoid a direct entrance way into the powder store.
The structure was registered in 1973.
Vestiges of the Haxo fortifications
When the army decided to build a new wall to replace the Lesdiguièrs fortifications, Hugues Berriat, mayor of Grenoble, obtained autorisation to expand the city at the same time, but only after very bitter discussions. The new fortifications, built under the surveillance of General Haxo from 1830 and 1840 allowed Grenoble to double in size by stretching further south.
Several vestiges of these 19th century fortifications are still visible in the eastern parts of the city:
Further south, and entire bastion is preserved and it goes all the way to the former Très-Cloître gateway. The northern part of this gatewas is also still visible on the side of the rue Malakoff. Built around 1840, the Très-Cloître gateway was modified at the end of the 19th century. The passage way was enlarged and metal grills replaced the old wooden doors.
Former Division Headquarters (currently the Mountain Troops Headquarters), Verdun square
In 1860, after Savoy was attached to France thanks to the efforts of Marshall Randon (Grenoble native who served as Napoleon III's war minister), Grenobel once again became the seat of a military division. The army thus had a prestigious headquarters built from 1864 to 1868, that would welcome the new 27th division.
François Delarue, a Parisian architect, designed a superb building which was a veritable copy of a 18th century townhouse.
The honor stairway leads to the second floor where the grand salon is decorated with beautiful Louis XV style.
A garden, decorated with a neo-Baroque fountain, is located behind the building.
Vestiges of the northwest fortifications, Route de Lyon and rue de la Résistance
These stone fortifications, constructed from 1879 to 1884 were the last to be built in Grenoble.
They completed the city's defensive system and stretched from the Bastille to the Drac river, on the northwest side of Grenoble.
Several sections of the curtain with a small guard post are preserved on the Route de Lyon side and further on, a part of the gateway tot he city on the Rue de la Résistance.

According to the survey, which was condcted worldwide, Ferrari outperforms much larger manufacturers such as BMW, Volkswagen and Audi, as well as all the other brands. Although one of the key considerations for brand value is revenue, the company's margins, revenue per customer, advertising and marketing spend are also considered. While Ferrari can't compete with the bigger carmakers in terms of size, it excels in areas such as brand affection and loyalty.
Ferrari recorded an increase in net profits of 7.6 percent during the first nine months of 2012, ramping its profits up to £131.4 million (Rs 1,104 crore). Total turnover for the company was £1.52 billion (Rs 12,781 crore). No other manufacturers made it to the top five, with Google, Coca-Cola, PwC and Hermes occupying second to fifth place respectively.
Ferrari chairman Luca di Montezemolo said: "It is always a pleasure to top any list and still more so when the competition includes some of the world's most famous companies. Behind this acknowledgement are exceptional products made by equally exceptional men and women. They made it possible and for that I thank them."

I have a passion for training cellists to a high level of musicianship. I have mentored cellists from the first lesson through professional symphony auditions. I generally start beginners and children with the Suzuki Method. While there are many wonderful facets to the method, a main principal is simple: to nurture. We nurture infants to learn how to speak, walk, love- so then why not apply the same with learning music? More information can be found on the Suzuki Association of the Americas website.

Welcome! My name is Christopher S. and I am a classical guitarist, song writer, and experienced music teacher. I began learning music when I was nine on the piano however by the time I turned twelve I discovered my passion for the guitar. I began by learning songs and playing in band with some of my school friends. This was the start of my journey into music. I started with blues, rock, and pop music but I quickly moved into more complex genres such as funk and Jazz music.
In college I began my studies of the historically endless and huge world of classical music. This is also when I began teaching and taking students of guitar. I studied classical music at Hofstra University and completed my degree at Humboldt State University in Northern California. After earning my degree I began ...

I surprised that the conclusion is that the Ravens front 4 was totally ineffective against Denver. In fact I think that the Ravens did a good job with their front four - PM rarely had a clean pocket and didn't have much time to make most of his throws. The problem for the Ravens was that PM simply has too many options at receiver and is so good in his presnap reads that he was getting the ball out in 2-3 sec on almost every play - he almost never had to go to his second option. The blitz only accentuated the fact that the Ravens could not get to Manning fast enough to give him trouble.
In general I think Suggs and Dumervil did a good job overall, Clady certainly looked rusty although I expect him to shake it off. Franklin was good but too often the Ravens shifted in order to get Elvis 1 on 1 with Julius Thomas or a RB whom he abused.
The Ravens dominated the LOS in the rushing attack. Our success in the running game came mostly to the R with Zane pulling and the combination of Vazquez and Franklin.
I see the Giants especially without Conner as a repeat of the Ravens Defense. Talented front four(although I think not as talented as Baltimore) with a lack of adequate coverage guys in their LB and safety corps.

Bruce McMahan
The Hedge Fund Guy Who Reportedly Married His Daughter, RevisitedBy John Carney
Remember Bruce McMahan? A few weeks ago we pointed you to the story in the Broward Palm-Beach New Times detailing allegations that high-flying hedge fund manager Bruce McMahan had married his daughter. Well now the New Times is back, responding the denials from McMahan and his family with even more evidence that he really did marry his adult daughter.
The most disturbing/entertaining part of the new story is the New Times recounting of some rather odd defenses of the family. We won't spoil it by summarizing. Here's the details from the New Times.
But getting back to our question: What was it about Linda that allowed her to participate in this kind of behavior?
Oddly, a possible answer to that question may have come from Linda's half-sister, Heather McMahan, who jumped to the defense of her family's honor in a story in the New York Post last week.
"[Linda] was a very sexual person, like most McMahans tend to be. We have a pretty strong libido — all of us," Heather told the Post in a story in which she went on to describe her beloved half sis as a sexual freak show. At a party, for example, Heather said that Linda turned a goodbye peck into a Girls Gone Wild moment.
"She put her hands on both my cheeks and goes right for my mouth," Heather told the Post. "I pulled back, and she said: 'Wait a minute. If you don't let me kiss you on the lips, how are you going to let me kiss you down there again?'"
Now, keep in mind Heather told these things to the Post because she wanted to convince the American public that Linda and her father would never, ever engage in an incestuous relationship.
Let's break down Heather's reasoning: Heather assures us that Linda would never sleep with Dad — and she knows this how? Because Linda made sexual come-ons to her own half sister.
I guess that's the kind of logic that makes sense only in families who control more money than the gross national product of Uganda.
There are more pictures of the alleged marriage and other gross-out, weirdo details at the New Times, so be sure the read the whole thing.

When Linda became engaged in 1998 to a man she met in San Diego, Sargent Schutt, Heather said she spent $20,000 to throw Linda an engagement party at her then-home in Pelham, Westchester County.
"Most of the people at the party were her ex-boyfriends from California. They flew out," Heather said.
I was at that engagement party. I don't recall "most" of the people being her ex-boyfriends from California who flew out. They were family and friends, from what I can recall.

Chris Bell of Big Star Celebrated With Deluxe I Am the Cosmos Reissue
By Tom Breihan on August 17, 2009 at 6:10 p.m. EDT
When Big Star started, the power-pop originators had two frontmen, Alex Chilton and Chris Bell. Bell left the band in 1972, after the release of their now-classic debut, #1 Record, though he did help out on a few songs from the second Big Star album, Radio City.
Bell only released one solo single in his lifetime, 1978's "I Am the Cosmos", before dying in a car accident in 1978. The world didn't hear most of his solo material until Rykodisc released the compilation I Am the Cosmos in 1992.
On September 28, Rhino Handmade will release a two-disc deluxe edition of I Am the Cosmos, which will feature even more unreleased music that Bell recorded before his death.

Sub Pop to Reissue Nirvana's Bleach
By Tom Breihan on August 14, 2009 at 2:20 p.m. EDT
Nirvana's 1989 debut Bleach is a whole lot more than Nevermind's wily, unformed precursor. It's a monster of an album in its own right, a gnarled blast of fuzzed-out frustration that still finds room for some seriously sneaky melodies. The canonized R.E.M. move "About a Girl" is a clear highlight, but so is the snakey Zep-esque stomper "Love Buzz". Really, the whole thing absolutely destroys, and some days it's my favorite Nirvana album.
Bleach turns 20 this year (feel old yet?), and Sub Pop is planning a deluxe reissue on CD and 180 gram white vinyl. (The first run of Bleach was also on white vinyl, appropriately enough.) The 20th anniversary edition is due November 3. Jack Endino, the album's original producer, oversaw the remastering, which was done from the original tapes.
This edition will also include a complete recording of a never-before-released 1990 live show at Portland's Pine Street Theatre, remixed by Endino from original tapes. And there's a booklet: 48 pages on CD and 16 on LP, featuring previously unseen photos.
Check below for the tracklist.
News in Brief: Raincoats, Mugison, Susanna and the Magical Orchestra, Wordless Music Meets Miller Festival

-- Postpunk originators the Raincoats probably served as direct inspiration for something like half the bands on Kill Rock Stars, so itmakes sense that KRS will reissue the band's self-titled first album, which includes their devastatingly badass cover of the Kinks' "Lola". That vinyl-only reissue is due on October 13. The band will play a few U.S. shows in October, including their first West Coast dates ever.
-- Icelandic laptop-pop weirdo Mugison really knows how to get his money's worth out of his Metrocard. On August 18, next Tuesday, Mugison will partner with Amnesty International to play a show in every one of New York City's five boroughs throughout the course of the day. He'll start out at noon at Staten Island's Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art, and he'll wind things up at 11 p.m. at the Williamsburg bar Pete's Candy Store. That's a lot of subway time, Mugison!
-- On September 1 in the U.S. (August 24 in Scandinavia), Rune Grammofon will release 3, the (shockingly enough) third album from the melancholy Norwegian pop duo Susanna and the Magical Orchestra. It includes a cover of Roy Harper's "Another Day". Members of Wildbirds & Peacedrums and Madrugada contribute.
-- The Wordless Music Meets Miller Festival unfortunately doesn't involve drinking cheap beer while tailgating before modern classical recitals, but it seems pretty cool nonetheless. The festival will take over Columbia University's Miller Theatre September 9-12. Destroyer, Nico Muhly, Tim Hecker, Do Make Say Think, Grouper, Sam Amidon, Doveman, Charles Spearin, and Julianna Barwick will all take part.
More Saint Etienne Reissues Due
By Ryan Dombal on August 11, 2009 at 10:00 a.m. EDT
Cosmopolitan pop surviors Saint Etienne are set to re-release two of their LPs-- 1993's So Tough and 2000's Sound of Water-- on August 31 via Heavenly/Universal Music Catalogue. (The band's 1991 debut LP, Foxbase Alpha, and the odds-and-ends collection Continental, got the deluxe reissue treatment earlier this year.)
Both remastered editions come with a disc filled with bonus tracks (some previously unreleased) and new liner notes.
The band will play Foxbase Alpha in its entirety at two English dates this October: Manchester's Ritz on the 15th and London's Shepherd's Bush Empire on the 16th.

Jawbox's For Your Own Special Sweetheart to Be Reissued

During the 90s post-grunge sign-everything-that-moves era, a whole mess of underground bands ended up holding major label contracts, even though nobody in their right minds could've ever expected Flipper or Shudder to Think (or, hell, Helmet) to put up Nirvana numbers. Among those unlikely major label bandwagon-jumpers was the D.C. post-hardcore crew Jawbox, who decamped from Dischord Records to Atlantic just in time to release 1994's long-player For Your Own Special Sweetheart.

This game is awesome! And it is intended for Steam which is free to sign up to. You can link up with friends who also have this game very easily so private games are a breeze to set up.
Not sure what the others are complaining about, the 1-star rating about freezing during update is not a problem I have experienced so he will have to look into things on his side.
Ask yourself, why wouldn't you want this game to be part of Steam? This game will be amazing when playing against your friends, but it is not mandatory to play against them.
Sony VAIO NS30 E/S / Pentium Dual Core T4200 2.0GHz / 3GB / 250GB / DVD-SM / 15.4 inch / Vista Home Premium / Laptop / Notebook / Silver

I had this laptop to replace the NR32S which was suffering alot under the strain of Microsoft's fail of the century, otherwise known as Microsoft Windows Vista.
So when I first acquired the NS30 E/S I was left hoping with my fingers crossed that there would be a significant speed improvement, and I was not disappointed.
I should first point out that I acquired this laptop back in July 2009 and it ran Vista without any slowdown until Decmeber 2009, where upon I recieved my free Windows 7 Upgrade disc (20 P&P). But since Windows 7 this laptop has really began to come into it's own. The performance has simply increased since Vista has been upgraded to a superior operating system which if you purchase this laptop before January 31st 2010, you too can recieve for just the P&P price.
The design of the laptop is virtually identical to the NR32, and it still has the Sony Duo Card slot on the front, which is great if like me you also have an older Playstation 3 which has the same Duo Slot. This made transferring my editted video over to the Playstation 3 and testing in 1080p on the HDTV for quality issue extremely easy. Duo cards are also compatible with some Sony Digital Camera's and Camcorders.
There is also an SD Card slot, which again, helped me to no end with my own Digital Camera and Camcorder. No additional USB device with trailing wires! That is more valuable than it seems, if not for only purely asthetic reasons.
The 3GB supplied in the machine is more than capable of punching through the requirements of todays Operating Systems, and with a Dual Core Processor, I have found running several programs at once, one of which is usually quite demanding... Pinnacle Studio 14 Ultimate... the machine is still very fast. I can run Nero Vision, another video editttor, side by side with Pinnacle and both are operable to a good level.
The screen quality is fantastic, it is a shiny surface and so sun reflection can be a problem outside, but given shade it handles the outside light very well and the screen content is visible at midday. Which brings me onto the next point...
Wireless performance, in a word, very good. This laptop comes equipped a Wireless N wifi adaptor, which if you have the right Wireless Router should give you no problems with accessing the internet outside in your garden, regardless of the size of that said garden. Just be aware of the technical abilities of the router, some N routers are not as powerful as others, but all N Routers should, if placed by the outer wall, have an exceptionally large range and support the WPA-2 encryption to keep you safe... just like this laptop, which also supports WPA-2.
Battery is life actually very good for the hardware it carrying, I can get about 2 hours out of the system when power settings are at "High Performance" and playing a game called X3: Reunion. Please see via google as to a representation of the strain that game would have on a battary powered system. For other uses such as internet and email, sometimes 3 hours is possible.
I have noticed one problem, but I do not know if it is me, the laptop or Microsoft that is the cause. The text cursor when writing things seems to jump about the page, and the lines of text you write get messed up. This could be me sliding across the mouse pad or the OS which a patch could fix though.
I can let you know that the hardware feels very sturdy. It doesn't feel like it will break in your hands, and even gives you a sense of confidence that if it fell on the floor it would last longer than another laptop. Although nobody would recommend dropping laptops anyway.
At this price it is great but go to quidco dot com and get further discount through Play.com's link there!

Noise on stand-by is the PS3's Hard Drive spinning. This happens when you set the PS3 to allow "Remote start" via a Sony Playstation Portal.
It doesn't damage the PS3 or HDD as the needle is raised but it does consume energy.
PS. I have had PlayTV since it was launched and now that the first 2 updates hve already been handed out by Sony I have to agree with WhatTV? Magazine..... PlayTV for Sony PS3 is the best PVR in the world.

First of all, forget the bad reviews because people are already slating this game when nobody has played it. Which goes to show that they shouldn't be allowed to produce reviews as this is abuse of the system.
Now I can tell you about the Private Demo that was given out by Sony, and so far the game looks absolutely amazing. It wasn't even 80% complete which meant that with 1/5th of the game yet to be designed they delivered a Demo that looked better than 99% of finish products.
The AI was amazing, read ProjectJAY's review of bad AI... sorry but because you cannot play well enough that is no reason to judge a game bad. The fact is that if youpractice this game you will find the AI is better than in any other racing game. It is challenging and that is why the Motorstorm series is regarded as one of the best racing series in gaming history.
I hope the online is going to be a runaway success like the last Motorstorm, the AI and gfx are already perfect from what has been seen so far and with 1/5th of the game still be touched up it can only get better.
The Demo was 4/5, I expect the improvements to drive this title upto 5/5.
ProjectJAY, do not do reviews if you are just going to abuse the review system.

There is no game that looks as realistic and handles as realistic as this! FACT!
Don't expect much depth to the game, it is simply a very large demo but is it worth paying £20 for a demo? For the first time ever... the answer is yes!
From the first time you see that Clio in front of you, you will instantly think "Hold on, I saw that exact same car on the [insert date here]"
Only the PS3 (apparently) can deliver this kind of detail, and going on the current title's available to buy they are right. There is simply no other game on any system (PC or console) that is as amazingly true to realism as GT5:P

This is by far the best racing game out there. One second you are trailing a rally car going at high speed across a desert and out of both your of your blindspot a racing truck will cut into both of your racing lines and knock the rally car into a rocky wall, you watch in amazment as the rally car is torn to pieces as it smashes in to the walls surface before tumbing bonnet over tail as more piecies continue to fall of in every direction... look to the side as you overtake and see the rest of the crash spectacle, then look behind you and there a chance you see another vehicle that was trailing all of you hurtle into the destroyed rally car ensuring even more destruction. This game is total carnage and the upbeat country music provided by the likes of Primal Scream suits the high-adrenaline action to a tee. Yup, Primal Scream... doing upbeat country music, its a freakingly awesome match up. The other music genre's are fantastic as well!
The vehicles look out of the world, the AI is ultra intelligent and it doesn't really matter if you are a great racer or in need of practice. The PS3 ensures the pack stays around you giving an immense spectable of aggressive racing. Its enough to keep you entertained for many many many hours.
Those that don't like it do not know how to play it, you have to look infront, to the sides and behind you to see the scale of what is unfolding in the race. Bikes, Quads, Buggies, Rally Cars, Racing Trucks, Mudpluggers and Lorry's are chasing you... hounding you... crashing all around you as the do everything possible to stop you and each other.
Using the multi-directional view through the mud section on the Grizzy race track feels like watching a Jason Bourne car chase, except you are actually in it.
There seems to be some sort of random generator in the game as the AI takes different routes from the last time in a bid to keep up with you, the routes that you and they can take is really impressive. On some tracks you can be alone for 30 seconds on a certain route by yourself, next thing all of you are bottlenecked into a section of track that is the only option to go before splitting off, but generally you are either always followed or you find yourself catching up with a vehicle that just so happened to choose the same route as you! The game and its race tracks is so amzingly designed that this is the first racing game spectators will love to watch and not care about not actually playing it themselves. Always go for the in-car view and experience every bump in the road from the from shaky rocks to ramps.
Gran Tourismo move over, this series is the new daddy of racers! People, get ready to make your very own race movie on the go and Enter The Storm!!!!!
Oh, and don't eyeball the bigger vehicles. If they give you the cut-throat gesture, or the V sign etc from behind thier shattered windows they are going to put you in your place!!!!

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- It feels like the beginning of a New World Order here.
Tampa Bay cleaned Boston's clock in two out of three games, and not only does Tampa Bay now have a couple of Magic Numbers, but those Magic Numbers are extraordinarily, incredibly, impressively ... low.
Here's a sentence that's never before been typed:
Tampa Bay can clinch its first-ever playoff spot by winning two games this weekend against the Minnesota Twins.
The Rays' Magic Number to clinch a playoff spot is 3.
Their Magic Number to win the AL East title is 10.
You'd better believe they sense October is close enough to reach out and touch.
"Minnesota's coming in, and whatever our Magic Number is, we can do it in two days," reliever Grant Balfour, who out-dueled David Ortiz in a key fifth-inning at-bat Wednesday (Ortiz flied to center), said. "We can do it on Friday night. I think the guys know that.
"I think we're in good shape. I've got a feeling we're going to do it pretty quick."
Two wins over the Twins simply gets Tampa Bay an October ticket. But the Rays say they're still gunning to win the AL East title. By virtue of beating Boston on Wednesday, they win the season series against the Red Sox, which would give Tampa Bay the tiebreaker if the two clubs finish with the same record.
But Tampa Bay holds a two-game edge with 12 games left. Boston has only 10 games remaining.
A division title would come in handy, because the Rays have been incredible at home. They're 55-22 at Tropicana Field. And when fans actually show up, they're even tougher: They're 20-1 now in front of 30,000 or more fans at home, and they've got a 20-game winning streak after losing on Opening Day.
When Boston catcher Kevin Cash reached first base in the fifth inning Wednesday, he told Carlos Pena that Tropicana Field was "the loudest place he's ever heard."
"That's great," Pena said. "It really has an effect on the players."
Manager Joe Maddon said he thought the fans were "a little bit more anticipatory. They were really into it even before the first pitch, and it was kind of nice."
The manager also said that the Rays will celebrate as soon as they clinch a playoff spot, even if the AL East title is still up for grabs.
"Sure, that would be cause for celebration, absolutely," Maddon said. "You look at where the Rays have come from. I'm into celebrating.
"If we get to that point sooner, we'll do it in the appropriate way."
Likes: One of Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon's things is to push for Meatloaf series wins. Huh? That's his funky way of preaching to his players the goal of winning two games of each three-game series. As in, you know, the old Meatloaf smash hit from the late 1970s: Two out of three ain't bad. The Rays have responded, too, they own a club-record 32 series wins, most in the majors, and they've lost only nine of their past 41 series. That kind of stuff will get you a division title. ... I hadn't been to Tropicana Field since 1999, and I still much prefer my baseball outdoors. But I will say, they've brightened the place up considerably since I've last been here. ... I figured the White Sox were a lock to win in Yankee Stadium on Wednesday night when, earlier in the day, I checked the pitching probables and saw the Sox were listing kid pitcher Lance Broadway as their starter. How can you go wrong in New York with a kid named Broadway? But alas, manager Ozzie Guillen went with Clayton Richard. And lost. Oops. ... Nice late-morning run on the Jefferson High School track -- home of such alums as Tony La Russa and Tino Martinez. But it is humid and sweltering here.
Dislikes: Milwaukee's Ben Sheets leaving Wednesday's game in Chicago with forearm stiffness. Not a good sign for the Brewers, who need every good fortune they can get down the stretch. ...Very noticeable how many political ads they're throwing on the television in the state of Florida -- at least, in the Tampa area. One after another, John McCain and then Barack Obama, then Obama and then McCain. And the negativity gets old, quick.
Rock 'N' Roll Lyric of the Day:
"You'll never find your gold on a sandy beach
"You'll never drill for oil on a city street
"I know you're looking for a ruby in a mountain of rocks
"But there ain't no Couple de Ville hiding
"At the bottom of a Cracker Jack box"
-- Meatloaf, Two Out of Three (Ain't Bad)

Lapsed & Nonnon "Dead End Stare feat. Buck Dexter"
- Words: Bryant Rutledge
- Label: Ad Noiseam
Producer Lapsed teams up with turntablist Nonnon for his third full-length, and the combination produces an album that's somewhere between the triangle of glitch, electronic, and hip-hop, with an equal dose of machine-made sounds and organic scratching.

- Preparation Time:
- 2 cups packed brown sugar
- 1 cup white sugar
- Dash of salt
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup milk
- 3 Tb. butter
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- Chopped toasted walnuts to taste
- Combine sugars, salt, and milks in heavyweight large saucepan. Stir constantly over medium-high heat to boiling. Turn heat down to medium-low; simmer *without* stirring apx. 16 minutes. Remove from heat, beat in butter, peanut butter, vanilla (and nuts if using) until mixture begins to thicken. Pour into buttered pan (may use a square cake pan, round pie tin, or simply pour onto parchment-lined baking sheet and allow to set-up freeform). Allow to cool & set-up completely before cutting.
- Fudge, like a favorite pie crust, is something you grow a 'feel' for after making a particular type several times. You may need to adjust cooking time to your own stove. I don't use a candy thermometerfor this recipe, and it's not failed me yet.

Windows 7 ultimate 64
Is is common for a motherboard to get damaged by static energy?
I will have to build my own PC for the first time, and i just herd about static damage to motherboard. How often does that happen? How careful do you have to be?
|My System Specs
|12 Jul 2012
Yes. It is very possible.
Google the topic and you find that the voltage of the static discharge can be unbelievably high.
Always, as a minimum, touch the metal chassis to discharge yourself into the metal chassis/frame.
|My System Specs
|12 Jul 2012
The threat of damage has been way overblown, but there is still a small threat and some truth to it. If you put on wool socks, drug your feet across the carpet, and picked up a motherboard, there's a chance you could damage it. However, if you handle your components properly, there's very little to worry about. I always have my motherboards sit on the static bags they come in until i am ready to mount it in the case. I don't walk around the room while holding it.
I've built hundreds of computers in my days, often in weird places, like living rooms, garages, decks, etc. I've never had an issue.
|My System Specs
|12 Jul 2012
i disagree 100%.
I am an Electrical Engineer with a long career working with, testing, etc at all levels of responsibility electronic equipment.
Did you know that a chip can be "injured" by static discharge? In other words, you don't have immediate failure but the chip dies earlier than planned.
I heard of one incident where a receiving tester managed to destroy an entire shipment by not using grounding when testing the chips. The company where this took place was a 100% tester of incoming components. The company also enjoyed an excellent reputation for quality and reliablity.
|My System Specs
|12 Jul 2012
I also have an engineering background, before moving into the IT field. I've been handling electronic equipment for nearly 20 years now. I am not disagreeing that the threat isn't there, but it is WAY overblown when you read what some people say. You don't need a climate controlled lab with bunny suits to build a computer. I wouldn't run around on shag carpeting in feety pajamas when handling any components, but even the idea of mats and wrist straps have fallen out of favor.
As you mentioned, touching the metal of your case is always a good idea. Aside from that, I like to rest my components on static bags whenever they are free from their computer or original packaging. I always work on a good stable platform, and I don't handle the components until I'm reading to do something with them.

There is a risk, but I have worked on computer systems in my bedroom with carpet and I always touch the side of the case before I start working on the components. since I do that, I don't have any issues.

Do you have to be concerned with static electricity, absolutely. Different people can hold different amounts of static electricity. Different objects and materials can also hold charges.
Watch this video.
EXAIR: Manufacturing compressed air products since 1983
With DIY who know how many times it happens. They just RMA the parts when they don't work.
Static electricity can be many thousand of volts. Why take a chance. Ground yourself. A static wrist strap is around 5 bucks U.S.
Their are thousands of articles when Googled. Just one.

I agree with Deacon on this matter. I always touch something metal before I work on a computer, that that is pretty much the only precaution that I take before working on a computer. As to whether or not lifespan was ever decreased on a component, that's impossible for me to tell. I can say that I don't recall components which I would say suffered a very short or noticeably poor lifespan. For my home computers, I usually upgrade and retire the machine before it just quits working.

^ I am not a disbeliever, per se....but in all of the years that I have been doing this, very little effort whatsoever has been put into protection against this problem. Like myself, I've had technicians ground themselves by touching a chassis, but I've never once seen one put on an anti-static wrist strap. This includes vendors such as Dell, IBM, HP, EMC, NetApp, Liebert, APC, etc.
These write-ups are all interesting, and technically I am sure they are sound and have very good justification. But my real world experience, as well as the real life experiences of everybody know that I know in the IT field also justifies the fact that very few of us have ever done anything more than touch something grounded and then proceed on our way without any undue hardships. And I feel comfortable saying to most people that given what I have seen and done, in my years in the industry, you probably aren't going to blow up your PC if you decide to work on it without using antistatic mats, wriststraps and special shoes.
