We listened - new version with no ads - update now!
o Controls are fully customizeable - move buttons, sticks,
where you want it!
o Episode 1 included, episodes 2 and 3 can be purchased for 99c each
THE ORIGINAL KING OF ACTION RETURNS!
Los Angeles. Under attack by aliens intent on stealing our chicks for breeding. Duke Nukem springs into action dealing damage like only he can, making his "insightful" comments along the way. If you've never played a Duke game, this is your chance to see why he's been a fan favorite since 1991, with over 18 original Duke Nukem games since that time.

THE PRESS HAS ITS SAY!
Metacritic Player Rating: 9.4 of 10.

"It's more inventive, and more entertaining, than "Doom." I know they've had long enough to get it right (but so have many others, who've tried and failed)." -- Computer and Video Games
"It's rare when a game comes along that really kicks your ass. With its free-flowing 3D action, over-the-top weapons, and ruthlessly attitudinal protagonist, Duke Nukem will have PC gamers worldwide rubbing their rumps with spine-tingling glee." -- Gamespot
"I couldn't stop laughing while playing this extremely enjoyable trip through what unfolds like a 1950's science fiction B-movie: Space Aliens Invade Earth for Women!...Duke Nukem has what most first-person shooters don't - character!" -- PC Gameworld

Wale Feat. Miguel – “Lotus Flower Bomb”
Three singles in and it’s more than apparent that Folarin is going directly for the hearts and lips (both sets) of his female fans. Snagging Miguel, Wale liberates what appears to be the next look into his November scheduled project, Ambition. Where “Best Night Ever” was essentially “That Way Pt. 2″ (not a bad thing), “Lotus Flower Bomb” is equally as laid back, but with a different, yet receptively inviting twist. MMG’s Chocolate City representative could have stumbled upon a nice little ditty here if given the proper push; an issue which has always seemed to be the biggest x-factor as it relates to Wale and his career.
Still, “Lotus…” feels like it will spawn into one of those records that’ll get hotter as the temperature gets colder

6 Tips on How to Shop for the Cheapest Travel Insurance
While you spend most of your travel budget on plane tickets, hotel accommodation, restaurant bills, car rentals, and souvenirs you can bring home, you should not disregard the importance of your own protection. This is the reason why you need to buy travel insurance.
But the common misconception that travel insurance is expensive and that you are more likely to survive the trip in one piece has caused much disregard on buying insurance. Because in as much as you would want your trip to be a little under your targeted total expenses, you will completely neglect buying travel insurance. And when you do this, you might be at risk of spending more because you will never know when accidents may strike prior and especially during the trip. That is why, you should allocate a portion of your travel budget to travel insurance.
Now you may ask, "If I have to spend so much on other things, how can I get cheap travel insurance that would not cost too much?"
Shopping for cheap travel insurance can indeed affect your whole budget for the trip but with these 6 following tips, you can have the cheapest travel insurance that covers everything you need.
1. As much as possible, do not buy from travel agents. While they may provide the fastest and easiest way to get you covered, they can offer high insurance cost since they earn commission. They also may not give you discounts and could dictate the coverage of the insurance. In addition, some travel companies offer trips with "free" insurance- but actually not free. The cost of the insurance is included in the total price.
2. Instead, buy cheap travel insurance directly from insurance brokers or insurance companies. They often charge insurance at half the price compared to travel agents and could offer the cheapest travel insurance.
3. Check on several cheap travel insurance companies and select one that you think can give you the best coverage. Select your coverage, consider your destination, duration, type of activities you will perform during the trip, and the probable risk. From these, you can decide if you will get emergency medical expenses, emergency evacuation, personal property coverage (lost, delayed, or damage luggage), document coverage, trip cancellation, and others.
For example, if you go to a place where you will spend most of your time doing outdoor activities, which you think would give you better chances of encountering accidents, you can get emergency medical expenses coverage. Or, if you go to a place where there is a risk of the trip being cancelled because of local crisis, you might opt to get trip cancellation or travel interruption coverage. Furthermore, if you are not sure about the status of your air provider, you can opt to buy for bankruptcy protection. The key is, you should know how to prioritise your need according to your situation.
4. If you go on trips more than once a year, it is advisable to get annual travel insurance. You can save more on this than buying travel insurance on every trip.
5. If you have home insurance, you should first check if they have any provisions for out of the country trips. In this way, you can get the "avoid redundancy" and get the cheapest travel insurance possible.
6. Finally, never hesitate to ask for discounts. There are several insurance companies who are willing to slash a portion of their travel insurance price.
All these tips can help you get the cheapest travel insurance possible. Happy shopping!

What Is Travel Insurance?
Travel insurance is almost a necessity for anyone who does a lot of traveling. Even though it can be great for infrequent travelers (depending on where you're going), it really shines for the road warriors.
So what is the definition of travel insurance, exactly? Basically it's a way to make sure that if you pay for a bunch of things related to travel (such as a plane ticket, baggage fees, etc.) and then for some reason you have to cancel, your insurance will refund you part of the money you lost.
To be honest though, that's just one type of insurance you can purchase. That one I just discussed is called trip cancellation and interruption insurance. You can also purchase other kinds such as flight insurance (which tends to not be worth the high cost).
Another form of travel insurance is travel health insurance. This really shines if you are traveling overseas. In the case of some kind of accident while you're in another country, this insurance will help take care of the medical bills you incur in that country.
Yet another type of insurance is baggage insurance. Taking lots of expensive things (such as nice suits or dresses) in your baggage? Then this can be a great choice. But if you don't have anything too expensive in your bag (keep jewelry on you during the flight), then baggage insurance usually isn't necessary.
With so many types of insurance to choose from, it can be confusing to decide which one you should take (if any of them), and how much coverage you should get.
The best way to make this decision is to weigh up the positives and negatives of the policy. To make things easier, we'll discuss all types of travel insurance rolled into one, rather than evaluating each type of policy.
One of the main disadvantages of this form of insurance is the cost. Like most policies, you will probably never have to use this insurance, so why pay for it? After all that's like paying to get your car repaired without it actually getting repaired, right?
Depending on how much you fly, these costs can add up fast. Just like auto insurance goes up the more you drive, travel insurance can increase the more you fly. They have to do this to cover your increased risk of having a trip get canceled or having a medical issue at your destination.
Another factor to consider is just the stress. Is it really worth sifting through all these insurance policies and plans to decide which one is best for you? If you stress out about little things easily, then you may want to try a different path. Nobody likes dealing with insurance companies, and adding more stress to your life isn't a good thing.
Plus we all know that salespeople can be a little scammy sometimes. They might push you to have this expensive, premium policy that you really don't need! Watch out for this if someone is pushing you to get baggage insurance and it's REALLY obvious that your bag isn't worth nearly as much as he's pushing you to believe!
That said, there are a lot of reasons why travel insurance can be a good thing. Again, those who travel often will benefit the most from these policies, but other people can definitely benefit as well.
For one thing, insurance actually helps a lot of people sleep better at night. They know that since they're insured, they don't have to worry about losing a bunch of money on their travel plans. Whether a snow storm cancels the flight, they get sick while on that business trip to China, or their baggage with $500 suits gets lost somewhere- they know they're covered.
Another example of the advantage is that in the long run, the finances might work out better for you. Although usually we end up paying much more for insurance than we'll ever need, you'll be glad you have it when that hospital bill overseas is $5,000 and your insurance can pay 95% of it!
Finally, some people don't get too stressed out when going through different policies. They might even find it interesting and exhilarating to get the best deal on the market by shopping around from policy to policy!
Is travel insurance for everyone? No, not really. Many people don't like the extra hassle, and just don't think the benefits are that great. But if you're considering getting travel insurance for an overseas trip or long string of trips- do it!
So what is the definition of travel insurance, exactly? Basically it's a way to make sure that if you pay for a bunch of things related to travel (such as a plane ticket, baggage fees, etc.) and then for some reason you have to cancel, your insurance will refund you part of the money you lost.
To be honest though, that's just one type of insurance you can purchase. That one I just discussed is called trip cancellation and interruption insurance. You can also purchase other kinds such as flight insurance (which tends to not be worth the high cost).
Another form of travel insurance is travel health insurance. This really shines if you are traveling overseas. In the case of some kind of accident while you're in another country, this insurance will help take care of the medical bills you incur in that country.
Yet another type of insurance is baggage insurance. Taking lots of expensive things (such as nice suits or dresses) in your baggage? Then this can be a great choice. But if you don't have anything too expensive in your bag (keep jewelry on you during the flight), then baggage insurance usually isn't necessary.
With so many types of insurance to choose from, it can be confusing to decide which one you should take (if any of them), and how much coverage you should get.
The best way to make this decision is to weigh up the positives and negatives of the policy. To make things easier, we'll discuss all types of travel insurance rolled into one, rather than evaluating each type of policy.
One of the main disadvantages of this form of insurance is the cost. Like most policies, you will probably never have to use this insurance, so why pay for it? After all that's like paying to get your car repaired without it actually getting repaired, right?
Depending on how much you fly, these costs can add up fast. Just like auto insurance goes up the more you drive, travel insurance can increase the more you fly. They have to do this to cover your increased risk of having a trip get canceled or having a medical issue at your destination.
Another factor to consider is just the stress. Is it really worth sifting through all these insurance policies and plans to decide which one is best for you? If you stress out about little things easily, then you may want to try a different path. Nobody likes dealing with insurance companies, and adding more stress to your life isn't a good thing.
Plus we all know that salespeople can be a little scammy sometimes. They might push you to have this expensive, premium policy that you really don't need! Watch out for this if someone is pushing you to get baggage insurance and it's REALLY obvious that your bag isn't worth nearly as much as he's pushing you to believe!
That said, there are a lot of reasons why travel insurance can be a good thing. Again, those who travel often will benefit the most from these policies, but other people can definitely benefit as well.

Travel And Holiday Insurance
Why in the world would anyone need travel insurance? There are a number of reasons why you might want to purchase this type of insurance, especially if you travel frequently. Let's say you're traveling half way across the country and you lose your luggage. No one can seem to find it, and it doesn't look like you're ever going to get it back. What if you had $10,000 worth of precious jewelry in your luggage?
This is exactly the type of reason why you would want travel insurance. Because you just never know when something valuable of yours could get lost or stolen while you are on vacation. Travel insurance provides you with a means to get those items back. Well, you might not get the items back, but at least you would be reimbursed for the value of your possessions.
Travel insurance covers a number of different things that are associated with vacationing, every day business trips, or other travel reasons. One thing that is covered, which we previously discussed, is personal belongings such as luggage.
Another coverage that is provided with this type of insurance is coverage for your trip expenses in the even that your trip is cancelled for non-weather related reasons. For example, the company unlawfully sold you a unusable ticket, or something to that nature.
You would also be covered in the event of a medical emergency. Your travel insurance would cover medical expenses that you incurred, including helicopter evacuations, as a result of the accident that you were involved in.
You, or your family, would also be covered if you happened do die accidentally while traveling.
So you see, there are a number of reasons why anyone would want to purchase travel insurance. The next time you plan on going on vacation or a business trip, make sure you are covered.

How to Assess Risk
Most jobs come with some element of risk, that’s why it is vital that you have adequate home business insurance to protect your interests whether you work for someone else or you run your own home business. Employers need to take five steps to ensure that an adequate risk assessment has been carried out.
An employer is required to look at and think about what might cause harm to their homeworkers (or others) that might arise as a result of them working from home. It might become necessary for an employer to visit their homeworkers in order to carry out a risk assessment, but homeworkers might also be able to assist by identifying hazards on their employer’s behalf. Small or less-likely hazards are no less important than larger/more pressing ones and should not be ignored when assessing risk. This might mean that issues regarding protecting children from harm must be considered and acted upon even when they might seem more remote than a more immediate danger (for instance, potentially harmful substances and materials should always be kept out of their reach).
Who Could Be Harmed and How
Employers need to consider who might be harmed by a homeworker’s work and how. This isn’t just limited to the homeworker and the direct risks they face whilst working, but also the risks posed to all members of the homeworker’s household and visitors to the home at all times when their work might present a hazard.
Assess Risks, Take Appropriate Action
Should the employer discover a risk that they feel could be dangerous to the health and safety of a homeworker (or to anyone else in the home), then they have to think about what can be done to mitigate the risk or remove completely where possible. The action that will need to be taken will depend on the scope of the risk involved and the likelihood of an incident occurring based on who is likely to frequent the house. This can be demonstrated by understanding that the likelihood of a child getting hold of dangerous chemicals and swallowing them is much higher if there are actually children in the house; if there are no children in the house and none ever visit, the need to prevent children being able to reach dangerous chemicals is far less pressing. If there is no risk, the employer needs take no action.
Record Your Findings
If you have five employees or more, you are required by law to keep records of the more significant findings of your risk assessments. You also need to make a note of any steps you have taken, informing the homeworkers and any others who might be affected by the steps (and any work undertaken to implement them).
Check Risks Periodically and Take Additional Action
It is important to keep up to date with risk assessments after reasonable intervals, also undertaking a new assessment whenever the homeworker’s circumstances or job requirements change. The homeworker should be aware that their home insurance policy might be invalidated if they are doing anything other than light clerical or administrative work from home.
- Identify hazards
- Think about who could be harmed and how
- Assess risks, taking appropriate action to remove or reduce them as much as possible
- Record your findings

Whole Life Insurance Choices
What is whole life insurance?
A whole life insurance policy covers you for your entire life, not just for a specific period such as term insurance. Your death benefit and premium in most cases will remain the same. Whole life insurance also builds cash value, which is a return on a portion of your premiums that the insurance company invests. Your cash value is tax-deferred until you withdraw it and you can borrow against it.
Are there choices within whole life insurance?
Yes, the most common choices include traditional, interest-sensitive, and single-premium whole life insurance policies. A traditional whole life insurance policy gives you a guaranteed minimum rate of return on your cash value portion. An interest-sensitive whole life insurance policy gives a variable rate on your cash value portion, similar to an adjustable rate mortgage. With interest-sensitive whole life insurance you can have more flexibility with your life insurance policy such as increasing your death benefit without raising your premiums depending on the economy and the rate of return on your cash value portion. Single-premium is for someone who has a large sum of money and would like to purchase a policy up front. Like other whole life insurance options, single-premium whole life insurance accrues cash value and has the same tax shelter on returns.
What are the benefits of choosing a whole life insurance policy over other types of life insurance policies?
Unlike term life insurance, a portion of your premium money goes toward your cash value which in turn could pay off your entire policy only after a few years. Also, your premium will remain constant during the time you are covered unless you choose otherwise. And, unless you make a change to your whole life insurance policy, you have lifelong coverage with no future medical exams. Whole life is also a good choice because of the tax savings.
Should I purchase a whole life policy for an investment?
The rate of return on a whole life insurance policy is very low compared to other investments, even with the tax savings factored in. Most investment professionals would agree that life insurance should not be used solely as an investment tool and you should judge your policy choices on the protection and not the rate of return. But, if you are in need of life insurance, the tax benefits and cash value is an added bonus when purchasing protection for your loved ones.

A Low Cost Life Insurance Policy Option
Need low cost life insurance? Take a look at the budget friendly option of a term life insurance policy. Term life insurance policy premiums are generally much cheaper than cash-value policies (universal and whole), especially if you are young and in good health and a low cost term life insurance policy does exactly what you expect it to do by financially taking care of your beneficiaries if you die. Here's the basics of a low cost term life insurance policy:
Purchasing a Term Life Insurance Policy
You buy a low cost term life insurance policy with a specified time period, usually one, five, or ten years. During that "term" you pay a specified premium. Your beneficiaries will receive a death benefit if you die during the term of the life insurance policy.
Facts About a Low Cost Term Life Insurance Policy
Seems simple enough, right? Well, as with all insurance, there are little complexities and loop-holes you need to fill. For instance, the death benefit may not be the same throughout the term life insurance policy depending on whether you choose decreasing, level, or increasing term life insurance. And, what about when your term is over? That's where renewable and convertible term insurance comes in. Take for instance you want a basic 10 year low cost term life insurance policy with the death benefit to stay the same throughout the term life insurance policy, and at the end of the term you would like to "convert" to a different term life insurance policy such as a cash-value policy, without taking another medical exam. In that case you would choose a level term convertible life insurance policy.
Deciding if a Term Life Insurance Policy is for You
Term life insurance does not build cash-value or have the tax benefits like universal or whole life, but it can be a great option for someone who would like life insurance, but can't afford the higher premiums. Here is a check-list to help you decide if a low cost term life insurance policy is right for you:
You're on a budget and cannot afford a very high premium.
You are young, and in good health.
You are looking for a simple, straight-forward, low cost life insurance plan to protect your beneficiaries. Talking to Your Insurance Agent About a Term Life Insurance Policy
When checking with your agent on term life insurance, ask a lot of questions. Generally, agents do not receive as much commission on term life insurance verses cash-value policies so you may have to probe a little for more information.

Considering Disability Income Insurance
Can you believe that according to some estimates one out of every ten persons will become permanently disabled before age 65? If you became that “one” and you could not perform your current job, what options would you have? For most people this would be a financial tragedy, and unfortunately most rely solely on Social Security, or workmen’s compensation and unemployment insurance from their employers to cover any unexpected disability. The trend of relying solely on these forms of disability income coverage is unfortunate because the maximum benefits from these sources, in most cases, is very limited and most people would have to dramatically change their lifestyle to survive on these types of disability income alone.
Considering a disability income insurance policy from your insurance agent is an alternative to consider for people who realize the risk of becoming disabled and want to protect their current income and standard of living.
Disability income insurance is designed to replace one’s income when they are no longer able to work due to a disability. There are many different elements that make up a disability income insurance policy so it is important to understand when and how one will receive the disability income if the need arises. For example, one will need to know how their policy defines and covers short and long-term disability and total disabilities. In addition, it is also important to know if there is a waiting period for the income to kick-in and how or if the income from the disability insurance policy will affect Social Security, workmen's compensation or unemployment benefits. There are also different types of policies to consider such as choosing a short or long-term policy period. Another key element to look for when choosing a policy is knowing if it covers disabilities from both accidents and illnesses. Here is a list of questions that will be important to ask and discuss with your agent when considering a disability income insurance policy:
1. What is the definition of disability in my policy?
2. How long will I receive my benefits?
3. How much will I receive? (usually a % of one’s current salary)
4. Will my benefit amount adjust for inflation?
5. Is there a waiting period before my benefits kick-in?
6. Can I get partial benefits if I can still work part-time?
7. How will my benefits affect my Social Security, workmen’s compensation, or unemployment benefits?
7. What are the exclusions of the policy?
8. Is the issuing company strong financially?
9. Can I renew my policy without doing another medical exam?
It is best to meet with a few agents to compare policies and quotes and don’t be afraid to ask a lot of questions. If you are working with an agent who does not answer your questions to your understanding, it is best to find an agent who is willing to take the time to help you understand the policy in-depth. Like any insurance policy, disability income insurance has many different coverages that need to be understood and it is especially important that you know what you are getting and when, since this will be the income you and your family may be depending on in the future.

Considering Long Term Care Insurance
Thinking about one's finances 20, 30, even 40 years in the future is becoming more common. Investing in 401K's and IRA's are also common to secure a pleasant and enjoyable retirement. But what if everything does not go as planned and you need help with your daily living activities as you grow older? Do you have enough in your retirement savings to live in the assisted living home of your choice? What if you want home care? Long term care insurance is designed to provide you help with these services due to a long term illness or long term disability.
Average costs for nursing home facilities can range anywhere from $30,000-$70,000 a year. Don't count on Medicare or Medicare Supplemental Insurance to pick up the bill. If you can qualify, Medicaid may pay up to half of the cost. Choosing long term care insurance can help you pay for costs of a nursing facility or home care if the need arises such as a long term disability or other long term illness. The guidelines below will help you determine if long term care is something to look into:
Who Should Consider Long Term Care Insurance?
1. You have a large amount of income or assets and feel you probably would not qualify for Medicaid.
2. You don't want to rely on assistance from the state or other sources such as relatives.
3. You can afford to pay the premiums. (Depending on your tax situation there may be tax benefits.)
4. You currently have health problems or have a family history of a long term illness. (Once you have a long term illness or long term disability you probably would not qualify to purchase a policy.)
If you feel you may fall into any of the categories above, it is important you find out more about where to purchase a long term insurance policy. Your employer may offer long term care insurance as a part of your benefits. If not, you can purchase an individual long term care insurance policy from your insurance agent. As always, every state has different insurance regulations, therefore it is best to check with your state on specific determining factors and qualifications.
