A new software update for Gran Turismo 5 has been released, version 2.14. At only 13MB in size, it's even smaller than version 2.13, and once again appears to "fix minor issues" according to the only documented changes published by Polyphony Digital.
Users in our message boards have noted, however, that some "hacked" car modifications have been removed or reverted. As always, keep an eye on this topic in our forums for more discussion on any undocumented changes to the game as they are discovered.

Yea I hack, but when it comes to putting down some laps with people, I run fair and square. It's best for everyone.
Blocking hacks was a terrible idea. Hosts did more than just a good enough job policing the lobbies. Also hackers generally respected lobbies that said "no hacks". It brought some life back into an old game that people had stopped playing months ago. Also why even bother blocking the hacks when GT6 was right around the corner anyway?
and i keep getting disconnected for no reason
gt5 has made a big mistake blocking hacked cars
I'm sure they haven't…
And I'm sure you meant to say PD and not the game they make…
Since this update, playing online is much more unstable, players with lag as never seen before, listen to players while racing with them but without seeing their cars, falling of gameroom for no reason, etc :(
I actually went online for the first time over the weekend and it was the most stable I've ever seen it – twelve on track for 48 laps plus and hour beforehand of general tuning – never a problem the whole time.
So sick of the hacker vs legit racer argument
So yea people will always find ways to mod games and data,
You guys are like Ferrari in f1 someone develops a new part that they never thought of, they run to the fia. And say its illegal, pd should enable parts to everyone. Forget the hybrids and we can all have more fun from an old game,
But I for one was getting sick of tyre smoke everywhere and getting rammed from behind by a cheat
Just noticed on b spec that the first lap best lap now counts, fix this pd please
Not really sure what you are talking about. Could you explain further please.
…apparently not – just another random blurt then.
The update messed up my game. It freezes on the startup menu where you choose gt or arcade mode. Anyone know how to reinstall or fix it?
Exactly as Mr.Sulu said:::: Maybe they could have given us more improvements in updates, but instead they have had to waste god knows how much time fixing the exploits A-holes like yourself have made against the terms of service. So give yourself a good hard pat on the back. It's you who is killing GT5, not polyphony.
"Waaaaah I broke the T&C and now PD is removing their secret parts that were secret for a reason! Why are they doing something they have the right to do?!"
^^ Thats how y'all sound like.
Well really i thought we were expecting DLC but i really don't like these minor issue updates because we don't get anything new from any of the latest updates, i think they should replace this update with something we haven't got.
People rarely expect actual DLC from updates anymore – the excitement level here can lead to think that it might be coming…but that's all really.
What happens when hybrids are part of those "agreed upon" rules? That was already happening online, and a simple filter would have sufficed.
Obviously the seasonal time trials should have been locked for hybrids. Just a little bit of intelligence goes a long way.
Love the silly hyperbole, though. TdF, lol.
That's it. I will now definitely order GT6 as soon as it's available. I applaud PD's latest update. Call it whatever you like, doping in the Tour de France, steroids in MLB or "hacking" in GT5 – it's cheating, pure and simple. And it's unfair to those of us who compete following the agreed upon rules.
Hacks are still around – and the worst ones – the 30,000hp+ cars. I can't applaud an update that removed parts in the game code and not hacked cars.
Just release gt6 as and update on top of gt5 and be done with it
Nope, sorry. No can do. :sly:
Dumbest idea yet.
Ohhhh burn SaintSaiya haha. XD
I only did the hybrid stuff at its height. once i the first patch came i was" ok, shows over". deleted the save data, brought back my backed up virgin data, then played like everyone else. All great things must come to a end at some point. Besides once GT6 and GTA 5 are out. the hackers will return, like with cod. The previous installment becomes a hackers paradise.
But GT5 is just one game in many. I bounce back between my PS3, Gamecube, PS2 and other things. ass long as a games are online, and as a large enough following, their will be hackers. no matter how good the Anti-hack, codes, patches are. Their will be that one person, one group dedicated to breaking the code.
It doesn't bug me, why let something so trivial in this life make us mad?
Why? Gran Turismo 6 is coming out at the end of the year and Polyphony would probably stop updating Gran Turismo 5. Let Us enjoy hacking Gran Turismo 5 for chris sakes and let people do what they want to do to make the game fun to play.
I think since gt6 is almost out let us be us put out 2.15 update restore all the stuff you have taken away put all the parts on the game what's wrong with having stage 5 turbo stage 5 engine this game is a sinking ship if you keep messing with the hackers they are going to find more loophole find a way around your patches you gt5 community are playing a cat & mouse game I am tired of tuning the same old boing tune cars keep evolving look at the ferrari f70 968 hp & Ferrari f12 730 hp those are innovations to the world they didn't look & say lets keep it simple slap on a different paint job kick up the price call it something different like pagani zonda!!!!!!!!!!!! Gt5 is like zonda ugly & stupid used to be worth the money but. Not anymore you keep taking everything away what made this game so fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Holy wall of no punctuation Batman!
TL;DR Please
The dot on your keyboard. It's important.
Even with good punctuation, this OP would make no intelligent amount of sense.
This is not a PC game that you can mod to your hearts contentment. Is a console game and use of such is strictly regulated by the creator. By buying and playing the game you're agreeing to the T&C of the game and that means you're agreeing that you've bought the right to play the game, not become a Jr. Programmer.
There is virtually NO outcry from the community to let the game be an to return it to its hack-able form. Just an outcry from a very few sore teaty-bebe players who have lost their ability to modify the game to their own purposes – nefarious as those purposes may or may not be.
As for "challenging" the hacker types and the thinly implied threat there in and with the eminent release of GT6, PD could choose to stop supporting all online aspects of GT5 leaving the game hackers with nothing to do but play with of by themselves.
You can still hack, the parts are useless though.
Zonda……. Ugly…….WTF. Please man, specsavers please. I give you Zonda R, best track car ever (bar 599XX). Tricolore, special road R painted in italian air force display team colours. Originals juat changed the game and the roadsters where one of the fastest convertibles. Yes they seem the same but each one had either more power, lighter body, no roof, track spec etc.
and your right, GT5 is like a Zonda……if you look hard enough
I'm trying very hard to be civil about it. There is no way PD would do what you are suggesting, it wouldn't even make any sense. If the patches bother you so much, then you should have stayed at update 2.11.
i'm still on 2,11 ;)
it's sometimes hard to play alone but i always feel like i really have the freedom ( and luck ) to create crazy cars.
that is priceless.
*comes out of cave with long beard*
Can I use my drag tunes now? Can I know now that if someone beats me it's because of legit tuning? And not some hidden parts?? :O
if you lose, round everyone up and complain on here so that maybe PD can change the transmission back to being unchangeable like when we first got the game,yea, then that would be AWESOME AND FAIR and we can enjoy this magical real driving simulator
It blows me away how bad people's spelling on this forum, especially with spell check really is???? I have no issues with some of the home skillets on here wanting to look cool or what ever. But FFS and the love of the English language please take a sec to correct your words so that the rest of us can get what you are saying with out having to try and decipher the Da Vinci code.
Dude remember a lot a posts on here, as with all online forums, are written by folk who don't use English as their first language. Translators aren't yet that hot on sentence structure, grammar and punctuation.
Add to this the amount of bods typing on their cell phones from trains or on buses or quickly trying to bosh out a post on their break. Typos will happen.
Political correctness and inclusivity boxes ticked.
hahaha, ok pepps clemency granted to the non English speakers, I understand the ones on trains and buses ect but there are those that are just plain lazy and can't be bothered
Well said mr_pepps.
I learned english from watching TV, so you can not expect me to write correct all the time.
But i do my best to make myself clear.
sayba2th you should try and write Dutch.. or french.
GT Planet is the largest site that gives accurate info.. Lots of other sites come whit crap or they copy from GT Planet and thats why so many foreign come to this site.
Get used to grammar like this, there are other thing to worry about.
Even so, there are many here whose primary language is English, who frequently make the their/there, they're/there or to/too kind of mistakes. A lot of those whose second language is English and regularly post here seem better at that kind of thing. So unfortunatly it'll be down to the individuals to improve.
It would make life easier though ;)
Haha try coming to Scotland. You wouldnt understand the language we based on english never mind people typing the words lol.
I get what you mean though. Decipher is the word of choice.
Potato potato
Interesting point sayba2th, considering "without" is 1 word. Follow your own advice before correcting folk on their spelling.
I'd worry less about spelling if my grammar and sentence structure were as bad as yours.
Actually, without is good in original English – having two meanings: without – the outside of something or meaning a lack of something being the shortened version of without that.
@tpark103 I'm not irish nor irish descendent.
Which is fine MeanElf except in the OP he spelled it as 2 words, With Out.
Sorry PC – I wasn't paying attention…again
All good Mean Elf. We getting old bro lol. :)
Sadly, that's true ;)
pd should allow hack better yet they should promote them
are you bored brah?
Promote them for what??
Apparently you didn't read the terms/conditions, why are you surprised?
Just GTFO,
Not promote hacks…..why would anyone do that. Companys do allow mods but only with ammended T&Cs but can be uploaded to share. These are personal hidden changes that no one else knows.
They should just unlock the further modification that they never applied to the final game ie RSS tyres, twin turbos, double clutch etc

Sad thing is I had a 1150hp 3kgt vr4 with a stage 5turbo and it was knocking on a veyrons door.pd u have awoken a sleeping giant.u just don't know it yet
PD has done it for me. I am canceling my pre-order of GT6. The special parts were already coded in the game PD just chose not to let us have them. I wasn't happy with the 2.12 update because I could understand the "illegally" modifying the the software though I do miss my hybrids. Why to they continue to do this sneaky s**t when GT6 is just a few months away? Do they seriously think that what they have done is going to encourage people to buy GT6? I for one am not going to buy GT6 until after it comes out so I can see for myself if it is really worth another $60.
GT6 had better have enough customization to make it worthwile. I have been doing the GT Academy demo and I am not in the least impressed with this so called new physics. Watch a replay of your 370Z when braking and watch the nose dive a good 10 inches or the body roll when taking a turn. Yeah right this sure is real. My SX4 doesn't pitch and nose dive like the Leaf or the 370 with stock suspension. My 240SX doesn't roll over or nose drive under braking and it is tricked to the max. So I am done with GT5 for now. I am not holding my breath for GT6 either.
so the data captured from sensors on real world cars on real wold environments that power the physics is incorrect? Cool story bro tell it again…..I got money down that says it will be in your collection eventually
*real world environments*
No its for players who want more than the same pitiful skyline everyine else has creative custom cars not a 450 hp riceburner!!!!
So they finally finished killing GT5 geez leave it alone for gods sake the "hacked" parts only bumped the HP no moe than 75bhp making most cars more realistic & better handling a game is suppose to be fun GT5 isnt even fun anymore its like a digital hot wheels collection & if not for photo mode it would be worse & if the driving phisics for 6 arent any different or better then it wont be worth 6 bucks much less 60
Maybe they could have given us more improvements in updates, but instead they have had to waste god knows how much time fixing the exploits A-holes like yourself have made against the terms of service. So give yourself a good hard pat on the back. It's you who is killing GT5, not polyphony.
+1 MrSulu, +1
And yet another breathless (well, I assume so from the lack of punctuation used) comment. You know, you guys getting angry are not furthering your cause by such rants – it doesn't come across well.
Theirs no point having physics if you don't stay within the relmse of reality !
If you don't do reality well a big black ? Over your car saying modifide?…that's cool…but stay out the live and seasonal events..what's the point?
But better still lets hope fore lot more interchangeable parts..many more variations..to make your car unique ..lots more colaberation s with real world manufactures parts and data……I'm hopeing that parts will be a lot less obtainable or a lot more exspencive…lots of wins = lots of money….and the money you spent should be reflected in the car increased value….for being ladgitamently modifide …more traiding. Could of been a lot better in GT5. apart from the duplication over site….but was a well setup system for items gifting and receiving ..if we're talking reality then why not lets av all of it….the car world means many different and varied things to different people…here's looking to a much more colourful and varied GT6…
I hope English isn't your first language.
Quicksilver….boring….did you learn how to right and forget how to communicate?
I think QuikSlvr's post was very clear and communicated it's message perfectly – your post on the other hand was close to an illiterate mess. If something is worth saying, at least make the effort to make it understandable.
Try typing it out in Word first – there's reasonable grammar built in and it'll spell check for you – then paste the corrected version.
I think nothing here is ever worth saying and I doubt either of you found it interesting …because you are boring grammar freaks…when you lift your heads from your schooling you'll find the world is a colourful and complex place and not the English speaking /righting utopia you think it is… Communication is about understanding as well as being understood…in any made up language …if all you can do is troll around correcting people…then your education was money well waisted …
Made up languages are fine, but you need to get your message across fella – that's my point.
And as for the world being wider than the English language, yes, I know – I've lived in five countries…been about a bit and can speak more than one language.
some of the hacks to me are ok. like the 500hp Hondas are fine because a Honda can actually get that much hp.what do you guys think?
After this stupid update its taking forever to load.
if anyone wants hacked cars dd JDM_Modz666
gt5 need to add new modifications to the game because th rims and the body parts are so old and boaring now. we need more choises for the cars we want to mod or upgarde
The game is old now bro, why would they add things like that to GT5 when GT6 is about to come out.
500, he's baiting you check the name, here we see eye to eye ;-)
The game was old and boring a year before it was released. It is outdated, boring, bland, and tired. I'd say dead is a good choice of word to use to describe GT in general.
And here comes BWX again, who apparently has nothing better to do than complain about a game that he has (apparently) long since forsaken. They must have hurt you really badly fella for you to keep coming back on here to check for things to whinge about.
BWX wants to try and get people to not play GT5 by saying "Oh its boring blah blah blah." Why does he even care, he said he's going PC gaming, but yet, he still comes here. This place is so much better when he's not here whining all the time. He's a troll who needs to go away and not come back.
Oh, and love how people say GT5 is dead, when theres people still playing the game. Why are they so stupid? People need to get over themselves and stop hoping GT is dead and crap just because of GT5, so dumn.
Hah – well the problem must lie with his expectations then, as the PC games are clearly not meeting his requirements either, or he wouldn't have the time to come here – he'd be playing them…
^ Yeah excatly, you're so right MeanElf. :tup: It's just funny how not even PC gaming can keep "him" out of GTP. XD
The problems of hacked cars is that the people who use hacked cars dont admit using them they say this is just a 'tune' plus they also lie and join lobbies that say plz no hacks. Another thing about hacks is that 99% of the ones I see are ridiculous and fake. Plus the key word of the last sentence was SEE, its easy to see the ridiculous ones but what about the subtle ones you cant see. The problem of hacked cars arent the hacked cars and its not the people who use them its the LIARS that use them. It makes it unrealistic to trust anyone. Even close friends. Ive deleted some people i trusted fully (because they taught me to tune and are legit clean racers but i caught them lieing about using hacked cars). Its ruined online racing almost.
Well said. This update keeps the liars out of public lobbies. It is a shame PD did not include proper support for more mods to begin with, but for where GT5 is at right now, it makes sense to prevent all online cheating and banning these cars
Come to think of it, why does "BWX" even have a GTPlanet account?
Seriously guys…I've been playing GT5 since the day it came out and it's about to see it's own light when GT6 comes out. I've been complaining about rim selection. It's been the same 10 rim selection since day. Why couldn't Polyphony kept the rim selection from GT4? They did it with the 800 something standard vehicles. I don't think the GT4 rim selection would take a bunch of space.
People conplain about removal of "Hacked Cars" but guess they never read the Terms and Conditions then.
The more you hack, the more PD have to spend time and effort fixing gt5 rather than spending time and effort on making gt6 better. So I say let them get on with gt6.
It's going to be so funny when people blame hackers in GT5 for any issues GT6 has.
Deedub777 is right, they've been dealing with this for like 6 months now when they could very well be doing better things. No hacker is aloud to complain about what they get in GT6, I swear.
You guys do realize that software security teams don't do anything like: model cars, tracks, music, any of that. All they do is security! How would that interfere with GT6? If anything, them trying to fix GT5's security is nothing but good for GT6.
@Bluntifird: I agree, which is why it's so funny how people think this is affecting GT6 development.
So you think PD has a software security team? Sony, yes but the game software isn't theirs which is why updates and DLC need to be tested by Sony before release. Given the size of PD (way smaller than most other dev teams) I'd say that it's done in-house but not by a special section that has no other function.
It's so unfortunate how the "Hacked" car thing has divided this community, even more then it already was…:(
Hey PitCrew. No one dislikes hack jobs more than I. But the blame starts with PD for two reasons, imo.
First are those spec4 mods PD decided not to let us utilize BUT still distributed the mods intact on the disc. Laziness?
Second is the 50% hp modification that they ALLOW when tuning is "prohibited." Shouldn't be allowed at all.
IDK what they could have done to avoid stuff like engine swaps so I blame the hack jobs for those violations. Would a FWD car gain 1500kg with a V10 engine swap? IDK such things.
But debate can be a good thing when it's conducted in a none combative discussion. I am guilty of at least trying to insult the hack jobs in earlier post, but now I don't bother. Bored and tired of what PD started in the first place, imo.
Also, if PD repeats the habit of coding parts that are not recognized under the normal filtering process in 6, then we'll be continuing this debate for the next few years. I get the feeling that PD may be just "moving on" and focusing on 7's development.
It is software and easy to give everyone exactly what they want! Let them opt into the hacking rooms or out of them. For the purists like myself, there is a simple fix to fair racing; shuffle and no-tuning. I'd just like to see these as filters in the online gaming options. I would like a filter for shuffle, non-tuning, and spec rooms.
More importantly, make it easier to change from a 300pp or 800pp car to a 525pp car online. It takes A LOT of lame scrolling. What is the result? I miss many races trying to find a car before the next race starts, because the only warning is a skip once the race has started, oh and if I was tuning I lose my current changes as well!
Tuning can be prohibited. Great option for Spec 1 make events.
I know, but the only way to find a non-tuning room now is to read through every room name. I have a regular group of racers, but it is also fun to race people you don't know, or if you're racing outside your normal "business" hours. :)
Ok, I'm involved in a room of racers that does not usually change but, being in an open lobby means that ANYONE can join, so we DO get to race against other people! If they bring out a hacked car, they're out of the room!!
I'm an Australian but the vast majority of people I race with are American, Canadian, English or Irish. I work outside of 'normal' business hours and this is reflected in my friends list.
Hey PitCrew. Modified hp IS a tune… or detune, if you prefer ;)
hawk2201 great pic!
Jordan, T-12, Famine, I have a suggestion; lock the comments section on any news stories concerning "hacking" or whatever you want to call it, it simply brings out the worst in the community…
That and "skid recovery".
No it dosent, it brings out Nice Stance cars
Before long every article written would disallow commenting for some reason or another, so it's best we don't do that.
I am really sick of these updates this game is just like call of duty haha release an update give it about a month and someone will find a way to get around the patches
I still can't find what is so fun about hacking cars on GT. It's a serious game, on my oppinion hackers are just making such beautiful game look ridiculous at racing comunity.
Don't get me wrong but if you want an ultra powerfull car with ultra shining colors you are playing the wrong game.
I used to love the GT online mode but it's getting annoying because it's filled of noobs with hacked cars who are spoiling the driving experience.
The fun part is pretty much popping a wheelie in a Daihatsu Midget and going the speed of sound down Mulsanne. Can't make that sound boring no matter how hard I try. But going online and crash serious races is a whole other cup of tea.
I cant understand rediculous hacks like 3000hp civics but lowering the car as a mod is more realistic than what it is the now. The cars hardly go down when lowering normally.
That isent wath is fun, the drift car i had was fun, i made a Johan Halvorsson s15 Replica with a 470hp 2jz and Merc SL500 (124R) Chassi, it was not fast, it was a drift car, the smoothest one!
hacking is for losers who couldnt win a race online without them
Have you played GT5, the worlds most boring driving sim? What do you got. You got a game with the lamest, poorest, worst AI on the planet. You got like 5 events. and like 900 Japanese cars from the late 80's to early 2000's. It's no wonder people have hacked it. Because there's not much else left, after you've bought every car you sort of, kind of like, for what ever reason. After, you've raced on-line, off-line, arcade mode, whatever and spent your 20,000,000 over and over. What else is there? Really. What else? Nought, Nada, nothing, zilch, nic, niete, squat, alls ya got left is to start messing with it as best as you know how, and, apparently some are better at it than others. Which I think is really the crux of the problem. ehhh.
H.Keslijinen nailed it. So did kekke2000. Make your own fun, but don't F with anyone else's…
Only for some Kelsijinen – others seem happy enough with it as is. I still get plenty of fun out of the game using the various challenges put up on this site.
This is perfect, this is just what you need to kill a franchise, On PD's part, a developer that isn't delivering what people are demanding and on the consumers' part, people who think they have the right to break the law so they go ahead and affect everyone else, even the manufacturers you freaking people love so much could turn their backs on PD for this kind of crap but you guys won't listen. What does it take for you to listen?, Ferrari leaving the franchise?, PD removing any kind of tunning and customization for future games? If you guys think you have big balls and feel all pumped up by changing a few parameters in a little piece of software and being a "rebel", why don't you guys create your own games?..You say it's the future huh, all this modding, where can I find your work guys?
I can't believe I'm doing this…
I agree wholeheartedly!
(Damn, now I'm gonna burn in Hell)
He's right though, and I agree. I'm really sad that the community has been separated into bases because of all this.
Pepe, normally I don't share your point of view but this time cuz you have nailed it! Lets hope that none of that happens and that the minority don't not procreate this for the majority
Hahahaha Scotte classic
Toko, unfortunately this is the upshot of SPEDs – software performance enhancing drugs. *cue Frankie Goes To Hollywood's Two Tribes*
He's right for the first time. Manufacturers all have in-house rules. At GM, there is a rule no car can beat the Corvette. I don't think they would be too happy to see any of their other cars going faster then that. Plus the game become a hugely inaccurate portrayal of real life when all the cars are performing in the wrong performance group, and what's the point for manufactorers to stay in a game when nobody knows what their cars can really do? He's right, you'll start losing those options to customize if the cars become inaccurate and the manufacturers become upset. If this keeps a livery maker out of GT6 I would become quite an unfriendly person.
It's Kaz and PD's fault for not testing the damn game. Hackers gonna hack.
I agree when PD is asking new manufactures if their interested in being in the next game i think they'll be very put off by all this.
Some of the community here really don't understand how precious car makers are about the products they create, im sure plenty of clauses in those licensing contracts are being breached right now and PD are acting to stop lawsuits or withdrawals from future games.
I remember, about 20 years ago or so. hearing that Rolls Royce would sue anyone that made an unsanctioned mod to one of their cars!
Now, I know that RR are not in GT5, but if that was the case back then, why would it be any different for any other car manufacturer now?
PD managed to add 200 cars in GT6 (probably more with DLC) and Dog knows how many more manufacturers, so if these hackers start working on cars in GT6 we can say goodbye to any hopes of a GT7 title coz all car makers will just pull out and leave PD with only Nissans!
In order to play online, an e-mail address needs to be registered, so how hard would it be for PD and Sony to block an e-mail address? ALL hackers should be blocked, hunted down and sued by PD and the car manufacturers!!! Then lynched!
(I'm really gonna burn for this, aren't I?)
Only in flames of vitriol ;)
I know that car is loud, but no need to shout…
tehe :D
See, he's running a hacked car, that's why they need to ban em. Shouldn't be screwing with em, manufacturers get mad.
It ain't never been that serious lol
*Sigh's and Facepalms*…….. Wow……… this community is slowly going down hill. People arguing like children over stupid stuff.
Anyone who hacked their cars, no matter how they used them should have seen this coming. Don't complain about something that is expected. They've fixed the problem twice now. As long as you people keep hacking the game, PD's going to fix it, and eventually they might ban you people.
You all need to grow up and realize you can't just do whatever you want.
maby PD shuld lisen to the user, in wath they want in gt6, but it dosent look like that, and they are gona end up like NFS!
This is the 3rd update that "fixes" hacked cars and "fixes minor issues". If polyphony digital keep "updating" GT5 every 3 weeks in hopes of "fixing" hacked cars, then eventually GT5 will literally turn into GT6.
what should be done is those accounts associated with hacked cars should be terminated. i know everytime i come across a hack i report it. but it dont seem to do any good
This is just getting ridiculous.
I don't know if it was fixed in an previous update, but after months of not using it, my Trans-Cammer Mustang is finally spitting flames from the side instead of from behind.
I'll check mine out – I'll get back to you on that!
This hacking/hybrid crap is so yesterday. It was never justified so get over it and move on.
I disagree with the hacks and modded save data. So if anyone comes into my Drag lobby with hacks they will get kicked plain and simple. I don't mind if they play fair and play by the rules and bring a n-o-r-m-a-l car online so then knowone has an advantage over someone elses hard work to tune the car properly in the game with the original specs its supposed to have.
Go and create a game yourself with an open licence if you wish to do that, not screw up everyone else experience and hard work by playing the game as is meant to be played.
It's still illegal for anyone to be changing any save data parameters at all which violates the PD' terms & conditions. It infringes a copyright law. Copyright being that only the original author can change the code and not third pary/person who thinks its ok to break a copyright law.
It's their sole licensed content and anyone breaching that is breaking a law whether they realize it or not. I don't care about those people who think that once they have bought some software it becomes theirs to play around with. No it doesn't it becomes yours to use, not change again – as intended by the author.
If you were a programmer who has created an app and release it, would you want your code being messed with. I know i wouldn't and i know lots of geeky programmers who wouldn't either. Its their code, their data, they copyrighted material owned by them. Only the author, creator has sole rights to change the code as they please.
wow congratulations , you learned your 'obeying robot lessons' very well apparently…you must be a righteous man! glad that such people still exist nowadays, in my area i'm mainly surrounded with scumbags deeply into 'TOS violating gangsterism' !!! hardcore zhit my word…thug life 2013
I agree with you wraith don't let the hackers with modded computers and a keyboard try to change your mind. If u want realistic mods but a real car and do whatever u want to it. Don't ruin a game.
People will do whatever they want to their game offline, and there's not a freaking thing Sony or PD can do about it. So please keep crying over something that you can't change.
@BTR well u know it sucks that you live in that environment but u know what, u are the only person keeping you at that place. Doesn't mean u have to follow what the thugs do.
Hah – "obeying robot lesson" BTR? I assume that you do not live in a house, or go to work and otherwise obey the norms of your society? I really fail to see how an objection to a modified console game equates to anything more than common decency born of respect. It certainly is nothing like the robot mentality you are suggesting – look up social development, mores and norms before getting your eight inch paintbrush out, eh?.
it does not matter what age you are the level of ones maturity becomes quiet apparent on forums such as these.
ATTENTION: I just read in the TopGear News app that Nick Hiedfeld's F1 car (or others from 1999) will be in GT6
This of course is the BBC TopGear…
I think they were reporting on the fact in GT6 you can attempt to beat his Goodwood climb record, that he set in a Mcleran Mercedes
I don't know… But it sounded pretty surely that you will have the opportunity to try it in a 99 F1 car
Cool, if that's the case
I would expect them to put the exact same car in the game otherwise that defeats the purpose of trying to beat his time. Having an advantage with a better car is kinda blah.
to many minor updates, I'm gonna hold off from gt5 for a while.
If you don't like hacked cars online, set PP restrictions for lobby. /thread
Didnt have any hacks yet it messed up all my cars. I think that will be the last time i play gt5 now. Goodbye
Ha I told ya'll folks there's no damn spec 3.
Congratulations, you told people who were joking about it being a Spec 3 update that it wasn't a Spec 3 update…
And you probably one of them thinking its spec 3.
Even if that were true, at least I know to capitalise Spec 3. :P
Going to do something much more important than talking to the slow kid, bye.
Who gives a damn about capitalizing Spec 3. What's so important you got to do? Play games 24/7 talking junk? Yeah your so cool dude.
You're the one "talking junk", nobody said it would be Spec 3 apart from as a joke.
You guys are really arguing about this?…..
It reset my BGM settings! Well pissed off!;)
Gees I hope PD fixed the mic lag
Mic lag?
The only thing I can't quite grasp is, I can't have a Toyota FT-86 G Sports with a Subaru flat 6 engine (less powerful than stock flat 4!) and an 8 speed trans out of the Lexus IS-F, but people can still run around lobbies in 100,000 HP X1s.
You want fairness in your leader boards, PD? How about getting rid of those negative PP cars? I wasn't even going to race that FT-86, I just wanted it because I thought it would be realistic and cool, and I already have plenty of race worthy cars that aren't hacked. I absolutely love Gran Turismo, GT5 has the most hours I have ever logged on a game. I'm excited for GT6, I think they are doing an excellent job showing advancements throughout all the games. But please, PD, provide players like me (and there's a lot of us) with better customization of those 1200 vehicles so we don't need to hybrid. Then you can do what you will with the hackers (i.e. DESTROY THEM)
Next time you see a freakin' 3,000 HP Civic, remember this.

PD should put a virus in the code that would stop and lock the cooling fan inside the hackers' consoles so that they would burn in flames without a chance to save them.
Well that escalated quickly.
Thats why I keep a fan in front of mine;)
Also seems like you need to burn something to calm down.
Rants like that will give you a heart attack.
I agree Allek. Hacked cars are BS. Realistic or not it's still an advantage.
I don't know about you, but my PS3 is made of metal and plastic rather than wood or other combustible substances.
@Snorevette: so I guess in your personal universe plastic is NOT combustible? Interesting.
Plastic melts quite well in my world and burns if you touch it… Ideas… Exploding, melting PS3s? :D
Getting rid of hybrids is one thing, but I don't see the hype about getting rid of the hidden parts. I'm a driver who hasn't used either, but I have friends who have used the hidden parts to replicate RL cars. Their tunes still fall under the pp system, so they still must add weight or detune accordingly, so what's the fuss, especially when they do it mostly for their own offline use? It's not as if they are getting added performance at the same rate. Also those with Supersoft Tires will show up as sports hard online, so if you saw for eg. an FRS/BRZ/86GT with sports hard tires, you would know to kick it immediately. I do not condone the online use of these vehicles, but I do feel sorry for those who have created their replica car list only to have it snatched away.
What's more annoying are those who are paranoid about hacked cars, saying that they should go to hell or get banned forever. Why? If its a game then they should have their own fun(offline), and if its a sim then they should be able to recreate real life cars. If PD could've found a way to restrict it from online use only that would've been nice, but now that things have been reset again let's see if I get kicked out of lobbies when I start with my winning streaks. The excuse that suspiciously good drivers /tuners must have hacked parts is now out the window. Come at me!
I tried explaining this to people so many times . It not worth it bro
There will still be accusations of hacking, I've been accused a few times recently while driving an F2007.
all you guys bitch too much….
I think the driftcommunety is about dead now
still the same narrow mind zhit you have to read , as soon as topic is about hacked cars…why ya'll so sure every hackrider is giving a a f**k about winning ? ok i reckon there are many noobs thinking like that,but ya not need hacks to meet retards,GT online is full of them…but not everybody is getting wet as soon as they see their name poppin' up beside their new gay race suit at end of the race, you're obsessed with winning yourself probably , and ya'll projecting your 'limited mental perspective' on everybody else..i'm full legit racer same as my m8s,realism was our thing, we never cheated we are not f#cking kids,who cares really? do you? I not…win or not,that doesnt change change the fact that i smoke at least 90 95% of people runing online,my friends likewise,but still we enjoyed running realistic mods,just for fun and the new challenge it brought..so wtf? LOL
ok i repost it here for all of ya poor people having to live with a 'mental in constant stadium of deficit'…lol whatever imma go back to beats,beer,n smoke f#ck hacked cars f#ck stock cars f#ck dirty pilots f#uck clean pilots f#ck it all just…f#ck off GT..LOL cheers
I can see your point. I've seen some cars with modded suspension and it looked f****ng awesome! I watched a vid with an mx5 with ferrari wheels that looked quite cool. Dunno why they dont let people just slam their rides.
I feel the same way dude. They want to stay ignorant and as soon as you start pulling away in an online race, here comes the moaning, "He's probably using hacked parts, kick him after the race!"
To be honest I don't care about the realistic mods as long as I don't know about it. But when a car starts snaking its tires in a straight line at 130mph then I get annoyed and the reports start flying. I've probably raced realistic mods no doubt but I can't tell which doesn't bother me. But seeing a ferrari pulling away at speed super fast is ridiculous.
I'm happy I'm still on 2.11 :) Boo-ya!
I don't mind hackers, I slightly support them for what they're doing. They make GT5 more 'vivid', it's quite interesting to see what people can come up with.
They still should get banned from online though, like forever. And they should definitely stop defending themselves. It might be true that you don't use your cars to win races and you only do 'realistic' hacks, but you're still using illegally modified game data, which is prohibited by Terms of Service (to which you agree by playing the game) of like every game in the world.
No, it's modified save data to manipulate the game play experience, nothing's changed about the game data itself.
And personally I'm pretty pissed off PD couldn't leave me my Gallardo with turbo sound and gauge and 1250hp, it had so much lag it was unuseable for racing anyway, but it was great fun to cruise it simply because of the BOV sound. They just can't seem to deal with hacks in a proper way.
Nevermind, PD left those cars where you put FF into the turbo line which means not only my turbo'd Gallardo remains in 2.14 but also all the stupid 2 million HP cars do! The update only removed the hidden parts (e.g. turbo stage 4) which actually were a very interesting thing about hybrids and the only non-glitched modding still available up to this point.
Well done PD, well done…
The only thing to be taken seriously in my post is the first paragraph. I don't want anyone banned, nor do I think it's OK to use hacks.
Maybe I'll get into hacking myself soon…
I only liked to modify the colors of unpaintable cars, everything else was nonsense to me.
That's still around as well, from what I've heard – well, hacked paint chips are still around, so I presume Matte Black Ford Mark IV's are still possible as well.
One more thing, before you people praise 2.14 for getting rid of the people in HP-modified cars – they're still around. Update only removed the hidden parts. Still good because it means there's no more WR stage 5 and Racing super-soft cars, but if you were glad because you could stop having to use HP restrictions in online lobbies, then…
I can't believe some people are actually in favour of hackers, PD made GT5 ' the driving simulator' to be played and enjoyed by people that love cars and racing, of course they would not take kindly to hackers changing parameters and messing with the game, tampering with the game is just wrong on every level. It might be fun but its cheating, braking into game code and messing around with the game, how can that be good ?
I f**** hate hackers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
bann them all!
Useless kiddys who ruin the game for everyone!
If u guys wanna mod go play on a PC!
PD is doing a great job and u guys dont appreciate the hard work.
Damn, even here on gtplanet u guys should be banned.
It makes absolutely no sense how u r thinking about a game, no understanding, just a hole in ur (lobus frontalis)!!!
If u dont know what that means, go to school!!!
You mad?
Grow up.
I would like to add this little bit to your rant : "And if you can't use "you" instead of "u" , go to school!!"
Ooh dear, did I just take away the credibility of your comment while I was just trying to help you get your point across? You can use fancy Latin terms all you want but by using "u" you just shot yourself in the foot.
@Darkcraft *sight* textspeakers…
We be trolled.
I'll be brief: 2.12 and 2.14 I Love you! la la la
Gt5 is a game. A game has rules. Hacking is changing the rules. Hacking is cheating. End of story.
As for the statement that hacking improves programming skills: go program your own game!
Hackers are poor Idiots…
And all should be banned for ever!
good to see they're still working on gt5
I missed my m3 stanced with a Ford mark iv engine… Damn 2000 hp cars :'(
My opinion is: PD / Sony should ban the hackers forever from online-gaming. end-of-message
That'll be almost 80% of the players who still play this game thats already 2 years old. Nice shot big boy.
I have yet to see A true "hacker" in GT 5, (play GTA 4 online its infested with em) , at least in GT 5 you can kick out any unwanted moders, & seeing as Polyphony keeps focusing on "simulated modifications that excluding hp" rather than 2000+ hp modifications, I wouldn't be surprise if REAL hackers start showing up like after the linux fiasco.
80% of the players LOL Way to exaggerate ridiculously to try and make a point, that'll win the argument for you.
and remove the 2.12 patches it makes hacking a lot harder
GOOD! Hacking is childish! If you can't play the game without cheating, 99.99% of the NON-hackers don't want to know you and have NO respect for you!!! Learn to drive a normal car or go get stuffed!
i think hacking should be aloud because its just some people trying to have some fun and they are also learning a new ICT skill.
anyone who has a problem with hacking should take the thumb out of there ass and accept that people hack. if they don't like it then they can request to have the "HACKER" to be kicked from the lobby or just leave them-self. Also there are ways to stop people from using hacked cars like "PP" and "BHP" limiters.so if u don't like hacking don't play with them
Ruins gameplay experience for everyone else who is not a hacker, which is the majority of GT5's players. Not ethical.
They should have made a rooms with standard game and modified , it would all be ok
R.I.P. English Grammar.
My thoughts exactly Freezer.
I think yew sheld gow and learned how to rite gooder english, and furthermore. Hacking someone else's code will usually get you bombed where i come from. If any of you punks stole or modified a real hackers code, your electronic life may become a disaster, luckily you fools, who call yourselves hackers probably couldn't hack your way out of or into a .c hello world.
So thanks to all the elite hackorz with 2000hp civics, the people who just wanted slammed cars and sensible engine swaps have to suffer…
Most of the pro-hacking people are saying 'PD SHOULD NOT REMOVE HACKERS BECAUSE I DON'T RACE WITH THEM!' when it's fairly obvious that there are definitely other people that DO race with them – indeed, they're even using them in TTs and the like. That's not good for PD's reputation.
Meanwhile, most of the anti-hacking people are saying 'ANYONE WHO HACKS ON GT5 DOES SO TO BE UNFAIR WHEN WE JUST WANT FAIR RACES!' despite the fact that it's been stated time and time again that many of the people who hack do so purely for their own use. It can't be that difficult to understand that some people want to hack for the purpose of slamming their cars or repainting their unrepaintable cars – I'm sure we can all agree that neither of those are going to make them any faster than you.
GT6 is coming out. If you enjoyed hybrids, it's not difficult to revert back to 2.11 when you get GT6. If you hated hybrids, then you're free to continue playing GT5 as much as you like and nobody is going to stop you.
tl;dr: Y'ALL OVERREACTIN', STAY CALM YO
I think the people who need hacked cars to cheat win, really need to open a window and let some air in, If you seriously need to cheat victory, then your really not winning at all, perhaps you should learn to drive!
I can not tune a car for the life of me, but I can drive the nugget box to 8 GTP wins, as well as a team member in last years nurb 24 hour, 90% of this game is driving, and if you can drive the nuts off the cars or go in endurance races and strategize your win, you will feel a lot more earning of it,
I love how mad hackers get about their HACKED cars getting remove. They act as if their town has been hit by a sharknado. Sorry that PD is making you play fair!
Heeey! First mention of a Sharknado ;)
Yeah, sucked in – you ba****ds can't cheat anymore!!!
Okay. Keep assuming everyone who made hybrids cared about racing them. I'm sure no one will point out how flawed that thinking is. Oops, too late….
They only removed the secret parts. They didnt do anything about modding with HeX lol…
Hahaha Sharknado… puting together with Atlantic Rim… LOL :p
still the same narrow mind zhit you have to read , as soon as topic is about hacked cars…why ya'll so sure every hackrider is giving a a f**k about winning ? ok i reckon there are many noobs thinking like that,but ya not need hacks to meet retards,GT online is full of them…but not everybody is getting wet as soon as they see their name poppin' up beside their new gay race suit at end of the race, you're obsessed with winning yourself probably , and ya'll projecting your 'limited mental perspective' on everybody else..i'm full legit racer same as my m8s,realism was our thing, we never cheated we are not f#cking kids,who cares really? do you?

LOL
I run Gt mods only, in the 336-424hp rating.. Myself and the guys I race with have lots of fun, close races… Hacks/hybrids are just ppls way of saying "I have very little tuning/driving ability, and need to compensate".. Now I do believe GT needs more tuning/customization, and this has been extremely apparent for years.. This is why some ppl hack, so PD needs to step their game up and give the masses what we want, a driving sim with real world mods (motor swaps, body kits, rims, ect).. We the gamers/enthusiast keep you in business, get the picture??
PD should just nuke the hackers save files and reset them to day one state. that'll teach them.
Why do you care if it's not effecting you in any way?
I never supported hacking/hybriding, but isn't that a little extreme? Its a good thing you aren't in a position to make decisions for PD.
I would make Hacked PS3's to burn or explode!!! I know I know..
but thats the way we are… :D
I was born in USSR after all ;)
The absolute reason im racing STOCK cars for now on………never know who is modding their vehicles……add me TEAMworkPLEASE if you enjoy racing a variety of vehicles with only paint rims and oil………
Not sure why PD will still want to update GT5, but they sure care for it a lot I must. Hey, as long as PD keeps the game clean and fresh, that's what should really matter at this point. *shrugs* With this, now PD is gonna to keep GT6 fresh too. This is what, IMO, devs are suppose to do, it's really fustrating when some people just don't understand that but only care for themselves…
Oh, and I want to see some bitching in here, I love it when theres crying here and there. Freakin GOOD that devs do this when updating there games. HAhaha. >:)
You can be sure of at least one car/track wishlist, some generic whinge about sounds or a statement that GT5 is dead…
Well I think it's a good thing. If they just ignored a massive problem like hacked cars, then it wouldn't be understandable. They need to support the game because the online community is very much alive and they shouldn't just abandon it.
I think a better compromise would be for them to allow hacked cars in private lobbies only, and anyone that tries to cheat in public lobbies will be banned from public lobbies. I understand some people hack cars for the fun of it, but the problem is most of them are cheating online, and just the suspicion of cheaters has been ruining trust between racers online and that's not cool.
Anybody saying "we wouldn't hack if PD would've given us what we wanted" is delusional. You can't just do whatever you want because you're not satisfied with something.
Quite funny how they only got rid of the secret parts. Theres still way more stuff going on than you think
PD: Taking the fun out of Gran Turismo since 2010.
But not all people like hybrids/hacked cars, dude!
PD: Supporting* Gran Turismo since 2010.
GT: Dead Since Late 2011, Hybrids Brought Life Back Into The Game, PD Kills Them…..Logic.
You all say that but I disagree.
To me, when you hack like that, you are just simply saying: "This game's horrible and the cars in it suck". This is my honest opinion, not going to lie or be a suck up to anything.
BS……Hacking is cheating period! If you don't have the skills to play with the big boys and have to cheat take that elsewhere!
Assuming everyone who made hybrids cared about racing them.
Imari: Taking the fun out of Gran Turismo since he found it!
Seriously, if you have to hack a car to be able to win a race, you have NO SKILLS AT ALL!! You probably didn't even hack the car/cars yourself – someone passed it/them on to you! So there you go, still no skills!
Hilarious how people call GT5 "dead". I mean seriously, when's the last time you've been online? Because I'm a night owl, I can race at the worst times possible, and I still see a ton of races going on 24/7. If that's "dead", you're either delusional or have been playing too much CoD.
Not to mention, you people do realize that a ton of people like playing offline right? or seasonals?
I'm happy to hear you people cry about this because PD did the right thing. I don't care how you people justify it, it's not ok to cheat, and it's against the most basic rules of all video games. You're lucky you people haven't been banned completely yet because this isn't the first time they've had to erase your hacks.
It was never dead. It still gets so much support and there really is a lot of online races. This was always a good sign.
Say bye bye to hybrids again for now!
It's a fact… Pull'em out and they reset.
And to the numbnut who wants to flippen complain about ppl having hybrids gfys!
I don't have 25,000hp cars but I very much enjoy my 1000hp Mits GTO or my slammed Supra and my white Nismo 350z Ztune!
On top of that I wanted to check something out since I noticed this.. I had 3 super turbos to use and hadn't done my Tom's Chaser yet.
Remember I have already updated.. Noticed my Ruf and XJ220 reset. I took a non hybrid Tom's Chaser with 666hp added super turbo and took it to 923hp. Went and did route X off line.. Could tell right away the turbo didn't take even though it said it had. Get bk in the garage and look at it and now it has a max 504hp lol
Did they really have to take like 162hp as payment for having a super turbo on it…
Those b@st@rds!
So far everything I have hybrid wise has reset.
Mits GTO95 690hp to 1027hp
Ruf CTR2 640hp to 897hp
Nismo GTR sky Rtune 794hp 1144kg painted yellow
SvtF150- 773hp 1482k ssrt
Nismo270 518hp 1016k brakes & clutches close to normal painted white
–98Audi S4 515hp to 675hp-
Spyker- kg down to 867 from 9?? Close to normal
O5 stang- racing intake 734hp to 759hp close to normal
Lotus GT 687hp to 1027 ssrt
96 rx7 514hp to 711hp
C6 Vette 638hp to 655hp with big brakes
300zx 695hp to 1086hp
JagXJ220- 1046hp
02ford GT 871hp-894 1208kg-1124
86ruf race cat added
Gt350 race cat
Supra RZ 1027hp extra turbo and slammed
Camaro LMS race cat with ssrt
GTR Tokyo ssrt & turbo 920hp up from 775hp
Lexus LM TC 3??hp-575hp
RS4- weight, ssrt, turbo, race cat 760hp
Sub sti22b with 700hp gone!
You have to really think about this, people were becoming professional racing drivers off this video game. They need there leaderboards to be functional.
Listen.. I'm not complaining..
Just informing some folks who may not have updated and don't wanna lose the stuff.
Believe it or not I'm not the guy online racing ppl with hybrids or cheating seasonal. This was something I did for fun with a cpl of friends to kill the summer waiting for GT6. 3 years of GT5 got stale at times and it was a way to get me interested again.
I'm all for fairness in Gran Turismo.. Honestly.. For me the modding just started by wanting to paint cars that they wouldn't allow. And it went way over board as everyone knows with the crazy HP we've all seen. No question…
I've seen many cool things other then that though.. Would have great for this stuff to have been options to a degree anyway.
Just my IMO… But no love lost here, it is what it is.
I love Gran turismo
Me too <3
Not surprised by this at all.
I agree you cheat you get your things reset. Hackers stop your crying. If you don't find Gt fun there is always little big planet racing.
To many cry baby hackers. There isalways little big planet racing

Hicks and Habib not abused, says US investigation
Page Tools
Australian terrorist suspects David Hicks and Mamdouh Habib were not abused while detained by US captors, a United States investigation has found.
The US Defence Department investigation said there was no evidence to support claims the Australians were abused while in US custody before or during their detention at the US prison camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
News of the investigation's findings came after Hicks, of Adelaide, faced a US military tribunal at Guantanamo Bay, were he denied war crimes charges against him.
His father Terry Hicks, who met with his son before and after the hearing, said the 29-year-old told him he was physically abused by US troops after his capture in Afghanistan, and had suffered mental abuse at Guantanamo Bay.
Foreign Minister Alexander Downer today said he welcomed the conclusion of the investigation.
The probe was conducted in response to an Australian government request, following claims Hicks and Habib, of Sydney, had been mistreated while in US custody.
A separate investigation into the allegations by the US Naval Criminal Investigative Service was continuing, Mr Downer said.
Terry Hicks said his son had confirmed reports in a dossier compiled by former British detainees - who were released from Guantanamo Bay - that he was abused by US troops before he arrived at the base in Cuba.
The British detainees claimed Hicks was denied medical attention for a hernia and interrogated more frequently than many other detainees after his capture in Afghanistan.
Mr Hicks also said his son had suffered mental, not physical abuse, at Guantanamo Bay.

Did that change the glaze: ie are there chemical components in the water that never settle out that I have now just poured off ?

4 Great Secrets that Can Make You Act on Your Ideas
sesan oguntade
3/28/2009 / Christian Living
Have you found yourself struggling to act on your ideas?
Have you found it difficult laying your hands on that project?
I am about sharing 4 great SECRETS that has made me to act on my IDEAS. Are you ready to learn from these secrets? If you are ready, then you can read on...
Secret 1: LOVE
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life"
John 3:16
God almighty wanted a way His creations can relate with Him. He wanted our many sins forgiven. He wanted His righteousness in us. So He gave us something that was most precious to Him His only-begotten son as a sacrifice for our sins.
God took a great action to give. Perhaps He would not have been able to give this "precious Gift" called Jesus if He had no love for us.
He loves us so He was able to do what He did. The "Love factor" gave Him the special "power-to-do" and He was able "to do" to get the result He needed.
Are you presently doing what you don't love or are you planning to lay your hands on what you know you don't love to do. You should have a re-think. The "power-to-do" which is required to bring result or for you to continually lay your hands on those success tasks can only be active in you if only you love what you are doing or intend to do.
Secrets 2: STRONG NEED FOR FINANCIAL BREAKTHROUGH
When Peter approached Jesus for the money required to pay Jesus' tax and his own tax, Jesus gave him a strange directive. He (Peter) obeyed this instruction not just because it is coming from Jesus Christ but because he desperately needed to pay these taxes to the authority.
The need to be financially free gave Peter that special "power-to-do".
I have seen so many people who have done some great things after loosing their jobs. For me to actually start "doing", God made me to leave my paid employment. When we are down financially, we astound ourselves with what we can actually do.
Secret 3: FAME
.who for the joy that was set before HIM endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of GOD" -Heb 12:2
This is another great power-giving secret. Jesus actually saw it and he was motivated to "endure the cross, despising the shame".
This fame factor can also make you become an actor. You want the fame that comes from bringing that idea in you into reality.
I want you to tell me of anybody who is not pushed or motivated to take actions by this great factor.
Secret 4: Wife Factor
This is also a strong power-giving secret that can make you act on your ideas.
I have used this on a consistent basis. When I am finding it difficult laying my hands on any task, I have always called my wife's attention by tabling my plans before her. During our discussion, I will make her to understand how I planned to accomplish the task before a particular date.
After this type of discussion I know I am "condemned" to act. I am the man of the house and I want to lead by example, so I go to any length to do whatever I planned to do.
You can also begin to use this great secret to do.
These are the some of the secrets i have used to ACT consistently on my Ideas.

Reptar: "Sebastian"
I'm not really sure how this track from Reptar could be any cooler. The Athens, Georgia foursome is set to release their debut full-length, Body Faucet, via Vagrant Records on May 1. "Sebastian" has got jangly guitars, chimes and synths, a cool percussion breakdown, a tropical vibe and plenty of good times to spare. Did I mention that their website is straight out of 1995? Yeah, these guys are all about having as much fun as possible — the goofier the better. I have a feeling that Body Faucet is going to be getting plenty of plays in my car later this Spring when the weather turns warm. Enjoy the taste of it below, where you can enter your email address for a free download, or just stream the heck out of "Sebastian!"

Mark Hansen
- Biography
I have been around website development since 1994 - Mostly started as a hack, throwing together image based websites for friends as I learned more about html. Suddenly, as the internet grew into what you see today, several small businesses and ultimately, larger business associates needed help as well.
I feel my understanding of SEO is strong, applying all the principles can however be challenging at times. :-)
My wife and I both left the corporate world in 2001 to pursue our dream of being self employed, and we continue to do so today. Our website design business has been stalled out, so we can stay small and only serve our existing contract customers of 6 accounts. We also enjoy working in the affiliate marketing web sphere, and currently own more than 600 domains that we are slowly building content based affiliate sites on.

The shoe's history saw it as the follow-up to the popular GEL-LYT III as the Japanese engineered model which originally released in 1989 saw a further worldwide Europe and US drop in 1991.

Crocked Jerry Akaminko excited with rehabilitation; yearns to join Eskisehirspor's pre-season
J. Akaminko
Ghana defender Jerry Akaminko is continuing his rehabilitation at his Turkish side Eskisehirspor who have begun pre-season training.
He underwent a successful ankle surgery in Miami last month after twisting his fibula in Ghana's pre-World Cup warm-up against the Netherlands.
The centre-back landed awkwardly on his left ankle rupturing his fibula and was ruled out of the World Cup.
Akaminko posted on his Twitter page: "Back in Turkey. A bit of work in the pool. Rehabilitation going well. Can't wait to start running again.â€
The 26-year-old made 28 appearances for Eskisehirspor last season in the Super Lig.

sticky Straw says:July 15, 2014 12:13 pmSpeedy recovery now is obvious that the black star central defends is for jerry akaminko and issac Vorsah , awal mohammed ,yayah mohammed, edward kpodo. These are tall ,strong and tactically sound defenders ghanaians can rely on since our koobi coach lied to the whole world that ghanaians are short people and as such we don't have tall defenders in the country infact I was so sad after the press conference .john boye is a good defender but due to his height a tactically sound coach will used him at the right back of the defends as Nigerian coach used embrose a central defender at Celtic as right back during the afcon and world cup and he excelled good another example is Ivanonic of Chelsea team. To your information john boye started in Renes as right fullback so he will not find it very difficult to play that role

Sandy and Zachary's Wedding
"Masen was recommended by another professional photographer. That alone was an indication that he's really good at what he does! I checked out his webiste, loved what is on there, and completed an online inquiry. I received a reply and began correspondence to set up a consultation. He was very flexible in scheduling a time that was convenient for us, since we were planning our wedding while not living in San Diego. From our first meeting, we loved his great personality and found that he was a great match for us. From beginning to end, he is very responsive to phone calls and emails. I can't emphasize enough how flexible he is and so willing to make sure you are happy with his work. He has awesome energy and great vision. His work leaves you speechless. I really wanted to have pictures I could call my own, not the same pictures you tend to see on most photographers' websites. He gives you what you want, but still leads with his expertise. He is very professional, yet not stuffy at all. You won't want anyone else to photograph your special event after meeting Masen. If you want someone who is fun- that's definitely what you will get for your engagement session and wedding day. By no means don't let the pricing intimidate you, his work is worth it. In my personal opinion you are getting bargain prices for such extraordinary masterpieces. Trust me, I did spend time searching for just the right photographer who would meet our needs and he was the only one who met every single criteria. I can't say enough about Masen. You'll feel the same way too! He's the best hands down..no need to look any further!"

Kate out of BB race
Page Tools
Sincerity questioned ... Kate.
Photo: Channel Ten
The battle for Big Brother 2005 is down to just four.
Kate, the confident brunette, on Sunday night became the latest housemate to be booted out of the Gold Coast compound in the fifth series of the reality television show.
Her departure leaves Tim, Logan Greg and intruders Vesna and Melanie vying for this year's competition.
The grand finale of Big Brother will be held in a fortnight.
Kate was popular with many of her fellow housemates and also with viewers, but others questioned her supposed sincerity.
Many thought she was playing the game and she was also labelled a strategist during her time on the show.
But she told Big Brother host Gretel Killeen that she was just "a very determined girl".
The evictee said she went into the house to "make friends in different states" and "have parties".

is it possible
to make an
online retreat?
|A Retreat is a RETREAT FROM our ordinary patterns and a RETREAT TO a "place" where we can be more receptive to the graces God wants to offer us. This online retreat affords us the opportunity to check this site each week and receive some guidance for our retreat from and to. Some of us have access to the web both at work and at home. We can print the weekly pages and review them each week. And because it will be "one week at a time" all we need to do is take advantage of the weekly Guide, with its options and exercises.
kind of patterns
or exercises
will I be adopting?
use this retreat MOST effectively, we'll use 3 exercises:
to let the material, especially the graces prayed for, rest in the background of my daily life.
to use the other resources for that week, as time permits;
to share the graces with a director or others making the retreat (optional)
this like making
the Spiritual
Exercises ?
|The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius are meant to be an individually directed retreat, over the course of 30 days away from ordinary life, or for a longer time in the midst of daily life. The movements and exercises of Ignatius' Spiritual Exercises will inspire and shape this online retreat, making it possible for many of us to grow in our relationship with God and in spiritual freedom.
if I haven't
made a retreat before?
|Not a problem. This kind of retreat is very USER FRIENDLY. The most important thing to remember is that God doesn't need much openness on our part to richly bless us. This retreat offers suggestions for prayer throughout the week, for locating what it is we desire from God, and some ways to let ourselves be open to receiving those graces. And, BEST OF ALL, we'll be doing this in the midst of our busy everyday lives - in fact, this retreat will help our daily lives to have more meaning.
nervous about
finding time for
"prayer" each day.
easier than we might imagine. Look on this retreat as something
we are going to GIVE OURSELVES. And EXPECT IT to be a wonderful
experience. We usually end up doing stuff we LIKE to do.
We'll like doing this.
We may start off with 10-15 minutes the first few weeks or months. Perhaps the best times will just appear: right before we go to bed, over a first cup of coffee.
the weekly retreat Guide page will offer suggestions and helps for how
to do it.
about the
"option" of talking
with a director
or being in a group?
of us making this online retreat will be REVIEWING the week, to try to
pull the week together. Some of the real FRUIT of the retreat
will come as we notice PATTERNS and start putting pieces together into
a whole. Jotting these insights, experiences and graces down will
be very helpful.
Sharing these movements in our weekly journey with a spiritual director we already have, or with one we ask to accompany us on this retreat, is a wonderful way to hold ourselves accountable to pulling the graces together. A wise director could be an invaluable help in sorting our experiences out along the way, as well as in offering helpful guidance.
great way to enhance the experience of this online retreat is to meet
twice a month with a small group of others making the retreat.
This one hour session simply lets each person in the group summarize
their retreat experience or their gratitude for some grace.
Check out our page on how to do the retreat with
a group.
can we
look forward to
happening in us
because of this
online retreat?
|More than we can ask or imagine! God is never outdone in generosity. One thing is certain: we will grow in our relationship with God. Several other graces are very possible: we will grow in an inner peace that comes from a deeper sense of God's love for us; we will grow in a freedom from some of the stuff that keeps us from being very loving or courageous in the face of difficulties; and we can hope that we will be more committed to being of service to others.

In the long and not always glorious history of football there may have been more disgracefully gutless performances than the one put in by the champions of England at Southampton on Sunday.
There may also have been a more bizarre series of utterances than those which came from the mouth of the man who carried the most direct responsibility, the Manchester City manager, Roberto Mancini, but if compelling comparisons are somewhat elusive there is one thing about which we can be certain.
It is that never before can such a miserable example of broken down professionalism, of abandoned self-respect and a total failure to deliver a sliver of value for money (the transfer value of City's starters was approximately 206m pounds, with substitutes James Milner, Alexander Kolarov and Maicon representing another 48m pounds), have provoked less in the way of red-blooded outrage.
Mancini, who before the game lamented the possibility that quite soon very rich men may no longer be able to throw infinite amounts of money at the football team of their choice, did say that "big players" should display rather more convincing evidence that they possess "big balls".
But then given that his extremely expensive team had, in the process of an almost formal defeat by a side whose stars Jay Rodriguez and Rickie Lambert came at a combined cost of less than the year's salary of the missing Carlos Tevez, displayed a collective heart so miniscule the great Bill Shankly would surely have likened it to a caraway seed, it hardly seemed an excessive reaction.
We are told that Mancini will survive at least until the summer, by which time his Abu Dhabi employers might have to conclude that if their rival Roman Abramovich had a well-earned reputation for what might be described as brutal whimsicality, their own had come to occupy precisely the other end of the spectrum.
Sheikh Mansour and his cohorts should have known some time ago that their 1billion pounds-plus investment in City was well on the way to becoming a shocking indictment of an idea nursed so lovingly in the upper echelons of the Premier League. They should have known that they were making a monument not to relentless spending and seamless progress but nightmare entrapment by the prospective demands of Financial Fair Play.
Mancini whined that he had been miserably supported in the summer transfer window and that because of this, rather than a painful lack of evidence that he might be able to develop the force and coherence of by far the strongest squad in the country, his defence of the Premier League title and expansion of hopes in the Champions League had been virtually destroyed.
Another truth was much easier to grasp this last weekend. It is that City have become a parody of a club who might be anywhere near taking their place at the heart of European football. Their dismissal from the Champions League was one shocking development. The tolerance of the Mario Balotelli situation was an affront to professional standards. The reinstatement of Tevez after his Munich mutiny was another compromise to make the flesh crawl. At a vital stage of this season he is absent for family reasons, which are presumably similar to those with which he justified last season's flouting for more than four months of one of the richest contracts in all of football.
After saying that Tevez would never again wear the City shirt, Mancini soon enough agreed that he might well be a powerful asset in the race for the Premier League finish. That, no doubt, helped to deliver City's first title since the one they landed rather more emphatically with the help of Lee, Bell and Summerbee 44 years earlier. But how much should you pay, in money and basic values, for one championship which in less than a year seems as if might have happened in another lifetime?
When Gareth Barry scored his tragi-comic own goal at Southampton he displayed the body language of a zombie. It was also a reasonable way of defining the performance of most of his team-mates. It wasn't a defeat. It was a submission. It was a terrible statement about what happens when a team is separated from any sense that it can still achieve its most basic ambitions.
For many, it was almost entirely the fault of players grossly overpaid and seriously under-motivated. Of course they had their huge responsibilities and it wasn't only Mancini impelled to ask what had happened to the command and the wit of men like Yaya Tour and David Silva? Mancini says: "A player who plays like that should stay at home, not even be on the pitch. I don't want to see a player like we saw on Saturday. Usually, we play well and even when we don't play well, we put everything on the pitch. But we didn't even do that."
No, they didn't, demonstrably not, but then isn't it quite a key part of the manager's job to avoid such disaster. Mancini was recently pictured with his hands reaching for Balotelli's throat. There is another study of him linking hands with Tevez. He is, no doubt, an engaging football man with some notable achievements as both a player and a coach, but this doesn't mean so much now when he has to prove that there is really enough money in the world to make a great football team.
Meanwhile, Sir Alex Ferguson tells us that he sharply strengthened his planned team for the winning game against Everton after watching the City debacle. His reward was a 12-point lead and the latest evidence that his once dangerous rivals surely have to think again.

Housecall for Health: Coffee Helps Heart Health
A new study suggests that your morning cup of coffee could be doing more good than just waking you up—it could help keep your heart healthy.
FOX's Colleen Cappon reports in today's "Housecall for Health":
Audio clip:
Here's a reason to feel good about that next cup of Joe: New research suggests moderate coffee drinking lowers the risk of heart failure. According to Beth Israel Medical Center in Boston, drinking just two cups a day can reduce your risk by 11%.
But researchers say pay attention to how much coffee you consume. Drinking too much coffee on a daily basis can reverse the heart health benefits.

Mitt Romney, the Massachusetts Moderate (or Severe Conservative, depending on the day of the week or the audience) author of the successful RomneyCare the wildly popular Massachusetts universal health care system, declares that America needs universal healthcare to bring down costs and improve quality.
After his London visit, insulting the Olympics while still having the opportunity to view England's universal healthcare delivery, Mitt traveled to Israel and commented on their universal system.
"Romney Praises Israel's Socialized Health Care System"
"Do you realize what health care spending is as a percentage of the GDP in Israel? eight percent," Romney told donors at a fundraiser at the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, speaking of a health care system that is compulsory for Israelis and funded by the government. "You spend eight percent of GDP on health care. You're a pretty healthy nation. We spend 18% of our GDP on health care. Ten percentage points more.
Our gap with Israel is 10 points of GDP. We have to find ways — not just to provide health care to more people, but to find ways to find and manage our health care costs."

Romney will change his mind by the time he hits Poland. Once there he'll declare that polish sausage is the key to good health and get cheers from poles in the US. Conservatives are a funny breed. You get so worked up over what Mitt says. No sane person believes him, why should you?
