The publishers of Grand Theft Auto 3 are back with another game geared towards a mature audience. But fans of GTA3 should note that while State of Emergency also contains adult themes and extremely violent gameplay, that's pretty much where the similarities end. Whereas GTA3 was about creating a deep experience unlike any other video game, State of Emergency is a throwback to arcade beat-'em-ups like Smash TV and Double Dragon. However, the game takes the genre to a new level with mind-blowing graphics. You play as one of five selectable characters that's going up against The Corporation--a tyrannical group that has the city in an iron grip. The city is in an utter state of disarray and the citizens are rebelling. Amazingly, up to 250 characters can be rioting on screen; it's very surprising that the developers were able to render so many moving characters while keeping a smooth frame rate. Basic gameplay consists of picking up numerous weapons and objects to cause as much damage as humanly possible. Providing context to the mindless violence are Revolution and Chaos modes: the former is the game's story mode, with over 175 missions, while the latter is a single-session mode with a few variations. For the most part, State of Emergency is an enjoyable cacophony of senseless violence, but there are some flaws: although Revolution boasts an impressive number of missions, they do get repetitive; the game screams for a multiplayer mode, but it's strictly one-player. In spite of these flaws, the game remains addictive and fun. It bears repeating that gamers looking for another GTA3 will not find it here: this game provides an arcade-like experience that's excellent, but in a very different way. Parents should note that this game carries an 18 rating for violence and gore. --Raymond M Padilla Minimize

The Alpinestars Bionic Neck Support (BNS) is a structure which is designed to work with a helmet to reduce the risk and severity of a catastrophic neck injury (i.e. a paralyzing injury) while riding motocross or off-road. While no product can guarantee protection from all motorcycle injuries, due to the varied dynamics of accidents, the BNS is designed to substantially reduce the likelihood of a career ending neck injury although it must be stated at the outset that it, as with other such systems, may not prevent injuries occurring in all cases. The BNS comes with its own carrying bag for extra convenience. The Alpinestars Bionic Neck Support (BNS) is a structure which is designed to work with a helmet to reduce the risk and severity of a catastrophic neck injury (ie. A paralyzing injury). -- While no product can guarantee protection from all motorcycle injuries, due to the varied dynamics of accidents, the BNS is designed to substantially reduce the likelihood of a career ending neck injury although it must be stated at the outset that it, as with other such systems, may not prevent injuries occurring in all cases. -- The BNS functions by providing an alternative load path for the energy that compresses the neck. -- If the helmet is in contact with the Bionic Neck Support at the moment of impact the overall load passing through the neck can be reduced, which may prevent a fracture from occurring. -- The BNS also helps reduce the chance of muscular injuries associated with extremes of head movement. -- While it is not possible to eliminate the risk of any form of injury, the BNS is designed to help prevent the most serious damage and minimize the risk of collateral injury as the impact load is channeled away from the neck. -- When compared to soft ‘neck roll’ devices the protection afforded is signifi cantly better because being soft, these devices simply deform, offering no protection against the damaging compressive forces. -- As with any riding equipment, fi t is critical to ensuring the most effective protection possible and riders should choose the equipment that is best suited to their body. -- No neck device should roll around over the shoulders. -- Pivot Key system: A special magnesium key located at the rear allows the convenient front opening of the device while also allowing it to be dismantled in an emergency. -- Fitting System: Fine adjustment of the shoulder height allows a more personalised fi t – particularly for individuals who have a shorter than normal neck. -- Rear Stabiliser Failure system: In the event of large loads being channeled onto the rear stabiliser (the part that sits on the back) there are a number of deliberate bending and fracture points designed to relieve extreme loads that may be transmitted down the back. -- These include: - Defl ection of foam tail - Grooves to allow defl ection of support structure tip - Fracture area of support structure tip - Fracture of supporting members (also fracture if subject to side loads that could cause a large rotation to the head). -- Collar Bone preservation 1: All parts in contact with the body use an expanded foam compound to distribute the impact force over the widest area yet remain light in weight. -- Collar Bone preservation 2: A continuous frame member runs over the shoulders – this means there are no weak points in a critical part of the frame and that there are no metal pins or screws sitting directly above the shoulders which could be dislodged into the shoulders or collarbone during an accident. -- Choice of Strap Systems. The BNS is supplied with the X-Strap System which allows a small, light strap (worn over or under the jersey) to secure the device to the rider. -- The larger A-Strap assembly (available as a separate accessory) provides a traditional chest strap for those who like to wear the protector tight to the body. -- Carbon Composite frame to maximize frame stiffness and minimize weight. -- Mounting points for accessories which Minimize

The LED ECO LANTERNTM is a new and unique idea from the Ventus design team. It can be hand wound anytime, anyplace! It also features 3-way power, can recharge from windup, recharge from 12/24v car socket, or from any USB computer port. It utilises state-of-the-art LED technology and an eco-friendly winding mechanism to create 20 minutes of ambient light from every 1 minute of winding. A full charge gives an incredible 4 hours of continuous light and you will never need to replace a bulb or battery - so no future costs and guaranteed light when you need it. Standby mode illuminates two small amber LED's for pleasant comfort night-lighting - over 48 hours on a full charge, or 6 hours on a 1 minute wind! A folding handle is incorporated within the base for pendant use, or for easy carrying. Recessed lug under the base permits wall mounting - ideal as an emergency light at home, in the shed, or camping. In typical Ventus fashion, attention to detail is unparalleled. The eco lantern has soft rubber feet under the base and the winding handle telescopes in length to minimise winding effort. On the technical side, each lantern is equipped with the latest Ventus generator, which uses an amazing contactless triple-phase induction system that achieves very high power for minimum physical effort. The gear transmission system uses dissimilar polymer composites specially created to minimise wear and noise, with internal bearings made from stainless steel and phosphor bronze for accuracy and durability. Ventus take a responsible attitude to the environment, and this is carried through in the product packaging which is eye-catching and innovative, but substantially formed from recycled materials, and is totally recyclable.
