surprises come up from time to time in life, many of which can be expensive.

Tevez's move
to Shanghai Shenhua
from Boca Juniors was one of the biggest in the arms race that was the Chinese transfer window, which has since quietened down since the CFA's reforms, but his
time in Shanghai has been nothing short of an unmitigated disaster and it will
come as a
surprise to absolutely no one when his contract is torn
up and he returns
to Argentina.
SHEILA GROVE: I was going
to that I was also
surprised on how much I loved breastfeeding and really
from the beginning like even when the nipples are sore and chapped and they still keep
coming back for more, it has always been my favorite part of the day just kind of snuggling
up with Henry and it is over you know cuddling
time together and I really feel like not only does it be nutritionally but emotionally.
Of the bunch, Jennifer Ehle stands out as Maya's colleague Jessica, for while you can see her predicament
coming from miles away, writer Mark Boal peppers the lead -
up with so many intimate details that having the
time to think about what's
coming is more effective than the shock value of a
surprise.
I can't tell you how many
times my squad and I have sneaked behind enemy lines and

to surprise them and take them down without much of a fight.
With 755 horsepower the 2019 Chevrolet Corvette zr1 is the most powerful Corvette ever it's also the most technologically advanced behind me are the rolling s's at Road Atlanta and we're here
to see if we can reach
to the supercar levels of performance afforded by this thing's massive power big tires and the tall wing on the back after that we'll take
to the streets
to see if a car this powerful can behave itself in public this is a monster of a car I've had some brief track opportunities moving this morning
to get used
to the pace of this machine which is phenomenal we're gonna warm
up as we get out
to the road Atlanta and sort of build
up to the pace that this car can operate at now initially when you hop in this car you have this shrine
to the engine right above you you see the line of the hood it kind of dominates the center of the view you can see over it it doesn't affect visibility but it's immediately obvious and that kind of speaks
to what makes this car special it's a monster of an engine listen
to that [Music] that is tremendous tremendous acceleration and incredible power but what I finding so far my brief
time here at the Atlanta is that everything else in the car is rut has risen
to match hurt me while I lay into it on the back straight look you know 150 mile - an - hour indicated we're going
to ease
up a little bit on it because I need
to focus on talking rather than driving but like I was saying the attributes of the rest of the car the steering the braking capability the grip every system of this car is riding
to the same level of the power and I think that's what makes it really impressive initially this is undoubtedly a mega mega fast car but it's one that doesn't terrify you with its performance potential there's a level of electronic sophistication that is unparalleled at this price point but it's hard not
to get you know totally slipped away by the power of this engine so that's why I keep
coming back
to it this car has an electronically controlled limited slip differential it has shocks filled with magnetically responsive fluid that can react faster
to inputs and everything this car has a super sophisticated stability control system that teaches you how
to drive it quick but also makes you go faster we haven't even gotten into exploring it yet because the limits of this car are so high that frankly it takes a while
to grow into it but [Music] I think what's impressive about this car is despite how fast it is it is approachable you can buy this car
to track dates with it and grow with it as a driver and as an owner I think that's a really special [Music] because you will never be more talented than this car is fast ever unless you are a racing driver casually grazing under 50 miles an hour on this straight okay I'm just going
to enjoy driving this now [Music][Applause][Music] this particular Corvette zr1
comes with the cars track performance package a lot of those changes happen underneath the sheet metal but one of the big differences that is immediately obvious is this giant carbon fiber wing now the way this thing is mounted is actually into the structure of the vehicle and it makes you know loading the rear hatch a bit more difficult but we're assuming that's okay if you're looking for the track performance this thing delivers also giving you that performance are these Michelin Pilot Sport cup tires which are basically track oriented tires that you can drive on the street but as we wake our way
to the front of the thing what really matters is what's under the hood that's right there's actually a hole in the hood of this thing and that's because this engine is so tall it's tall because it has a larger supercharger and a bunch of added cooling on it
to help it you know keep at the right temperature the supercharger is way larger than the one on the zo six and it has a more cooling capacity and the downside is it's taller so it pops literally through the hood the cool thing is
from the top you can actually see this shake when you're looking at it
from you know a camera
from the top of the vehicle this all makes for 755 horsepower making this the most powerful Corvette ever now what's important about that is this not just the power but likewise everything in the car has
to be built
to accommodate and be able
to drive
to the level of speed this thing can develop that's why you had the massive cooling so I had the aerodynamics and that's why I had the electronic sophistication inside [Applause] we had a lot of
time to take this car on the track yesterday and I've had the night
to think about things Matt today two crews on the road and see how this extreme performance machine deals with the sort of more civil minded stuff of street driving the track impressions remain this thing is unquestionably one of the most capable cars you can get
from a dealer these days a lot of that's besides the point now because we're on the street we have speed limits they have the ever - present threat of law enforcement around every corner so the question is what does this car feel like in public when you slow this car down it feels like a more powerful Corvette you don't get much tram lining
from these big wheels though we as the front end doesn't want
to follow grooves in the pavement it is louder it is a little firmer but it's certainly livable on a day
to day basis that's
surprising for a vehicle of this capability normally these track oriented cars are so hardcore that you wouldn't want
to drive them
to the racetrack but let's face it you spend more
time driving
to the track than you do on the track and the fact that this thing works well in both disciplines is really impressive I can also dial everything back and cruise and not feel like I'm getting punished for driving a hardcore track machine that's a that's a really nice accomplishment that's something that you won't find in cars that are this fast and costs maybe double this much the engine in this car dominates the entire experience you can't miss the engine and the whole friend this car is sort of a shrine
to it the way it pops out of the hood the way it's covered with coolers around the sides it is the experience of this car and that does make driving this thing special and also the fact that it doesn't look half bad either in fact I think it has some of the coolest looking wheels currently available on a new car this car as we mentioned this car has the track package the track package on this car gives you what they call competition bucket seats which are a little wide for my tastes but I'm you know not the widest person in the world this automatic transmission works well I mean there's so much torque again out of this engine that it can be very smooth and almost imperceptible its clunky on occasion I think I'd might opt for the manual although Chevy tells me about 80 % of its customers will go for the automatic I don't think they're gonna be disappointed and that's gonna be the faster transmission drag strip on the street - and on the racetrack man it was a little bit more satisfying
to my taste though we've talked about the exhaust I have it set in the track setting let's quiet it down a little bit so you can hear the difference now I've set that separately
from everything else so let's put it stealth what happened
to the engine sound that's pretty that's pretty amazing man stealth is really stealth and then go back
to track Wow actually a really big difference that's that's pretty great the Corvette has always been a strong value proposition and nowhere is that more evident than this zr1 giving you a nearly unbeatable track performance per dollar now the nice thing is on the road this doesn't feel like a ragged edge track machine either you could genuinely drive it every day the compromises are few and that's what makes this car so special if you like what you see keep it tuned right here and be sure

surprised where your help

The levels were as interesting as any other Halo campaign but due
to the better graphics and the ability
to climb
up a ledge rather than having
to jump above it's height it made it great
to explore for skulls and collectables, within the 9 hour co-op game both myself and Russ found ourselves venturing off and climbing
up different parts of the maps
to see how high we could get or what was hidden away, we
came across a few Easter eggs on the way and found some rare or «special» weapons, Halo has always been a FPS which you have
to explore
to find Easter eggs etc. but Halo 5 just seemed better than the rest for this, the game flowed well between each level bouncing
from blue team and team Osiris following the story
to show where paths cross and what each team is doing in between, I feel like all of the trailers kind of pointed the story into a different direction
to the way the campaign developed which was
surprising and confusing at the same
time but none the less it was a great campaign and one of the best Halo games I have played in many years, I was never a fan of Halo 4 I thought it lacked everything a Halo game should be but Halo 5 has
surprised me and was well worth the wait.
- the team has been adding weapons one by one because they want the same amount of attention for each weapon - the team learned that when they added two new weapons at once, one would end
up getting overshadowed by the other - there were more new stages than returning stages because bringing back old stages would have little
surprise - since they want
to satisfy both new and returning players, they changed the order of stage additions - there weren't any major direction changes in balancing
from Splatoon 1 - there have been more pattern combinations between weapons and stages, so there was more involved
to balance them all - matchmaking is handled by getting 8 players with similar rank points, and then they're split by weapons - the rank point gap between S + players is bigger than ordinary players - only about one in 1,000 active players are in the S +40
to S +50 region in Ranked Battles - there's even less than one in 10 players that reach S +, while 80 % of the overall player base are in A or less - about 90 % of S + ranked players are within a + / -150 hidden ranked power range - rock was the popular genre in Splatoon, so they tried changing it for the sequel - they prioritized making good background music first before forming the band
to play that music - the design team would make the CD jacket - like artwork afterwards - due
to this, the band members would often change; some getting added while some others removed - Off the Hook is an exception, as they first decided they would be a DJ and rapper along with their visuals first - Off the Hook's song
came afterwards - In Splatoon street fashion was the trend, but in Splatoon 2 they tried adding more uniqueness - the aim was
to add Flow with ethnic clothing and Jelfonzo with high fashion - all Jellyfish in this world are born by splitting, which means Jelfonzo was born by splitting
from Jelonzo - Jellyfish are like a hive mind - when they hold a wedding ceremony, they're just simply holding the ceremony - Jelonzo and Jelfonzo start gaining their own consciences so they can speak - Flow used her working holiday
to go on a trip before reaching Inkopolis Square - during the trip, she met the owner of Headspace - the owner liked her, so she got hired
to work there - Bisk has a unique way of speaking: anastrophe - the team tried
to express him as an adult man - they made him into a giant spider crab because they wanted someone with high posture - he
came from a cold country and broke
up with his girlfriend
to join a band - just like Flow, he became attracted
to squids - Crusty Sean finally has his own shop, but he opened it because he's someone who follows the current trends - one of the trends happens
to be people opening their own shops - drink tickets aren't stacked, but the probability is higher than a single brand - the music in Inkopolis Square changes depending on the player's location - sounds contribute
to creating atmosphere in the location - the song at front of Grizzco Industries had an atmosphere that feels like some smell can radiate
from the game screen - as for Salmon Run, they imagined it as a Japanese restaurant outside Japan that is not run by a Japanese person - each
time the player moves between the shops, the game uses an arrange shift that shows the personality of each inhabitant - the arrangement in Shella Fresh is related
to Bisk's guitar and mystery files that describe his past - with the Squid Sisters moved
to Hero Mode, Off the Hook was put in charge in guiding battles and festivals - Bomb Rush Blush has an orchestra «because it would sound like the final boss» - the team wanted
to express the feel of the story's real culprit with this music - the probability of each event occurring in Salmon Run is different - there are no specific requirements, meaning they're picked randomly - this means it's possible for fog
to appear three
times in a row - the Salmon have different appearances based on the environment they're raised in - if the environment is harsher, they would become large salmon - Steelheads and Maws have big bodies, while Scrappers and Steel Eels have high intelligence - Salmons basically wield kitchenware, but everybody else has a virtue in fighting
to actually cook the Salmons - Grill is the ultimate form of this - when Salmons are fighting
to the death, they can feel the same sense of unity - they would be one with the world if they were eaten by other creatures, and they also fight for the pride of their race - MakoMart is based on a large supermarket in America - the update also took place on Black Friday in America, which was why Squids are buying a lot of things in the trailer - Arowana Mall looks like it has more passages because there are changes in tenants and also renovation work - Walleye Warehouse has no changes at all, because the team wanted
to have at least one map that stayed intact - the only thing different in this map is the graffiti, which is based on the winner of Famitsu's Squid Fashion Contest - all members in the band Ink Theory graduated
from music university - they are well - educated girls who also do aggressive things - the band members wearing neckties are respecting the Hightide Era
from the prequel - the team will continue adding weapons and stages for a year, and Splatfests for two years - the team will also continue
to make more updates including balancing
I see it as a double challenge;
to, all at once, question the hegemony of abstract painting's «post painterly» inheritance and, at the same
time, move on
from the empty rhetoric and theatricality of much gesturally driven painting - and do all this in original and
surprising ways...... It will be very interesting
to read the Brancaster crits
coming up on the painters Patrick Jones and Nick Moore in all these respects...........
These basic lessons are the «why» behind these two columns: * Never accept the numbers you receive
from CRA as being correct; always make sure you understand and agree; * Always insist on the background calculations and assumptions
to the numbers; there is no way anyone should pay a bill without understanding it; too many people just pay when it
comes to CRA; * Never give
up if you think you are right; having said this, I do not know yet if the company in this story will in fact file a second Notice of Objection
to recover the additional $ 1,000... cost benefit does enter into the equation at
times; * There are a
surprising number of CRA staff in the various departments who are understanding and helpful; * As I have stated in earlier columns, there are mechanisms built into the system that protect and allow taxpayers
to challenge CRA where it is appropriate.
