The Getaway - Mission 12 - Aboard the Sol Vita (2/3)
The twelth mission in the game The Getaway. Mark and Yasmin arrive at the boat and climb aboard to find all the gangs are there and are all fighting one another. Mark and Yasmin battle their way through the gang battle and then Mark parts with Yasmin because she wants to kill Charlie and Mark wants to get his boy. Mark goes down below the ship where he takes on the Bethnal Green Mob and kills a lot of the gang members. Finally he gets to a room where there are loads of crates and a forklift and he has to dodge his way through the storage area. At the end of the mission Mark faces his nemesis Harry who was the one that killed Suzie. Mark battles Harry who is using a sawn-off shotgun and eventually brings him down and kills him. Harry is the 3rd boss in the game and is the final enemy you have to kill as Mark Hammond. The best way to kill him is to shoot his body guards, rest and then face him head on. He uses a sawn-off shotgun which has limited range so i reccomend you stand back and then you'll be out of his range. Shoot the guy in the forklift truck or he will run you over and dodge the hanging crate. Easily the hardest part of the level and hardest section in the entire game, Good Luck because you'll need it! "It's all over Harry!" "Fucking muppet!"

Rigs of Rods 0.36 - Lifters Monster Truck Mayhem at Baker Ranch!!!
Well I decided to take Lifters Monster Truck out for a spin one afternoon over at Baker Ranch, mostly over a lineup of brand new chevy S10s. What follows is a demolition disaster when the I land unbalanced on one of the rear tyres and flip out, rolling and then slamming side on into a fence busting up the entire truck. Luckily I wasn't hurt this time due to the safety roll cage and harnesses. Within a few minutes, a crane and rescue truck were on hand to take my vehicle back to the workshop for some much needed repairs. Better luck next time?

Driver San Francisco - gameplay
The game takes place six months after the events of Driv3r. It is revealed that both John Tanner and Charles Jericho survived the shootout in Istanbul. In the game's trailer, it is revealed that since then, both men have recovered and Jericho has escaped to San Francisco, while Tanner and his partner; Tobias Jones have pursued him there. Jericho is shown being transported in the back of a prison truck, but manages to escape with help of hired assasin Leila Sharan, who hijacks a KEOC news chopper and fires an RPG at the convoy, and a vial of acid hidden within his mouth by a paid off guard. He overpowers the guards, and hijacks the truck. Tanner and Jones witness this from Tanner's car, pursuing Jericho as he causes havoc on the streets of the city. Tanner ends driving in front of Jericho in an alleyway, who, using the truck rams Tanner's car into the path of a tractor trailer, resulting in a devastating crash, putting him into a coma. The majority of the game takes place in Tanner's coma dream Whilst in a coma dream, Tanner soon discovers his ability to "shift" into another person's body, retaining his persona but, to everyone else, looking and sounding exactly the same as the person he has shifted into. Using this confusing power, Tanner helps some teenagers win street races to get money for college fees, aids some vigilante ex-cops remove fake medicine from circulation and lends his driving abilities to police officers hunting down criminals whilst trying to figure out ...

Ronaldo wrecks Ferrari in smash
just so u noe, wen i first read this,i was in tears!!!! CRISTIANO Ronaldo obliterated his Ferrari after losing control of his £200000 supercar. The lucky Manchester Utd winger escaped without a scratch after the Italian sportscar was smashed to smithereens in a crash early today. Witnesses said his car was a "mangled wreck" and police say it is a write-off. Ronaldo was travelling through a two-lane tunnel at Manchester Airport when he hit the wall sending parts of the barrier flying across the dual carriageway. Ronaldo was able to get out of the vehicle himself and was spoken to by police at the scene after the smash at 10.20am. A witness said: "The front of Ronaldo's car was completely mangled. There was metal all over the road and debris - and we had to dodge our way through it. Ronaldo was just standing at the side of the road looking forlorn and bewildered. My daughter said to me, 'Oh my God - that's Cristiano Ronaldo!' It's amazing he was okay because his car looked so bad. A club spokesman said: Cristiano was involved in an incident this morning. No other cars were involved. Hes fine and is training as normal with the team this morning. The crash happened in the tunnel which takes traffic under the airport runways between Wilmslow and Hale.

One of the wheels had come off in the incident and was about 200 ...
Cristiano Ronaldo's Death Defying Road Crash Accident
manchester-united-latest.blogspot.com Manchester United right winger and soccer god Cristiano Ronaldo completely destroyed his $400000 Ferrari F599 GTB after he hit a wall in a two-lane tunnel underneath the Manchester Airport earlier this morning. Ronaldo was on his way to training at the Carrington training ground when the accident occurred. No word on how fast he was going but the speed limits in England does not apply to Manchester United's players judging from the wreckage. Witnesses said the car was a "mangled wreck" and one of the wheels was found 200 yards away from the vehicle. Oh, and by the way, Ronaldo walked away without a scratch. The 23-year-old Portugese soccer star crashed his Ferrari into a roadside barrier and no one else was injured. I've seen car accidents with less damage then this where people have died, so Ronaldo's lucky. The Sun reports Ronaldo was travelling through a two-lane tunnel at Manchester Airport when he hit the wall sending parts of the barrier flying across the dual carriageway. Ronaldo was able to get out of the vehicle himself and was spoken to by police at the scene after the smash at 10.20 am. A witness said: "The front of Ronaldo's car was completely mangled.

Stuck in the snow overnight.
12 Jeeps and one Ford snow Wheeling December 28, 2008. The Motherlode Rockcrawlers found a couple with two small children(both in daipers) stuck in the snow. They had got stuck the day before and spent the night. They started a fire and ran the vehicle to stay warm. They had just a few snacks and not much to drink. These people were lucky help came along. A good reminder to never venture into the backcountry alone, especialy in the snow.

Switchback
Scripter Jeb Stuart (Die Hard) made his directorial debut with this thriller about an FBI agent in pursuit of a serial killer. Politically ambitious Amarillo police chief Jack McGinnis (William Fichtner) uses a local murder to gain votes in his campaign, a setback for Sheriff Buck Olmstead (R. Lee Ermey), up for re-election. The situation looks better for Olmstead after FBI agent Frank LaCrosse (Dennis Quaid) arrives to track the killer. LaCrosse has a personal agenda: he's convinced this killer is the man who kidnapped his son. Meanwhile, ex-medical student Lane Dixon (Jared Leto), hitchhiking across New Mexico, gets a lift from friendly Bob Goodall (Danny Glover), a former rail worker who later rescues Dixon from menacing miners in a bar. Red herrings throughout conceal the true identity of the killer. Some scenes were filmed at an altitude of 10000 feet in Red Cliff, Colorado. Working titles include: Going West in America, Going West. Shown at the 1997 Denver Film Festival.
Authors@Google: James Magner, MD
Author Jim Magner visits Google Cambridge to discuss his book, "Chess Juggler." From the book's description: "How does one cope with devoting sufficient time to family and career while occasionally trying to fit in the odd game of chess? Is your schedule getting more crowded and accomplishments less satisfying? Then take a journey with Jim Magner, physician, husband and chessplayer. Dr. Jim went through college and medical school, married and raised a family, and still was able to get in some serious chessplaying. It was not always easy or convenient, but he persevered and fulfilled most of his life's goals, all the while maintaining his sanity and perspective. He is an average (Class C) player who developed a curious, yet often effective way of dealing with opponents who outranked him, sometime by hundreds of rating points. He shares with the reader his methods and madness, with 31 annotated games dotting his autobiographical narrative. These games are entertaining and instructive, and often somewhat unusual as they illustrate how one may prey upon human weaknesses. If you enjoy rooting for the underdog, then this is the little chess book for you! Over the years Dr. Magner also has provided advice about life and career to countless medical students and trainees, and in this heartwarming book, he also shares his tips for success in family, finances and life itself."
Interview with Luis G. Arguelles, OIF veteran. CCSU Veterans History Project
Interview conducted by Eileen Hurst. Luis Arguelles enlisted in the US Army in 2003. He went to basic training at Fort Benning, Ga., and was then transferred to Fort Irwin, Ca., a training base for soldiers who were going to be deployed to Iraq. In the January of 2005, Arguelles was deployed to Iraq where his units' first assignment was in Northern Iraq (Taji). One of their jobs in Taji was to support the effort to look for weapons of mass destruction (WMD's). However, his main job was as a gunner for the truck that held the units 1st Sergeant. He also held this job when his unit was transferred to Abu Ghraib prison after six months. The shifts for this duty were 12 hours long, and much of the units' time was spent in the truck. Arguelles describes the conditions that were part of their daily life, including the temperatures, the food, and the supplies. When the soldiers were able to sleep and relax, their barracks were in the prison cells at Abu Ghraib. During his time in Baghdad, he also witnessed three IED (improvised explosive device) explosions, in one of which he was injured. When he returned to the US in January of 2006, he was diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury as well as a severe back injury due to this incident. The remainder of Arguelles' active duty was spent at Fort Irwin, where he was discharged from in the summer of 2006. After his discharge, he traveled to Florida, and then moved back to Connecticut to find a job. At the time of the interview ...
Faces of the Oil Patch
Faces of the Oil Patch describes the new visage of the oil patch—the areas in and around Williston, Watford City, Tioga, Stanley, New Town, Parshall, and Fort Berthold—in the words of the people who live and work in these communities. The 60-minute documentary shows us the towns that don't have the infrastructure to support the uncontrolled and dramatic growth, the ranchers who now view bumper-to-bumper traffic all day rather than the rare vehicle traveling along the two-lane horizon to horizon, and the oil workers who earn huge salaries but live in makeshift housing without hope of finding homes suitable for their families. The narratives and stunning video are woven together with visual images captured by noted still photographer Wayne Gudmundson to show everyday life and the changing vernacular landscape of northwestern North Dakota. Producers Bob Dambach Wayne Gudmundson Associate Producer Kim Stenehjem Editor Dave Geck Videographers Dave Geck Ryan Sailor Executive Producer Bob Dambach Production funding provided by The North Dakota Humanities Council and by the members of Prairie Public.
