Top 10 genuinely scary visual novels
[Continued] Page 2
6. Fatal Hearts
This independently developed visual novel from Hanako Games appears innocent enough on the exterior, but cleverly disguises a romantic saga riddled with plenty of ways for the heroine to meet with an early death.
While it's actually a little more depressing than scary, the fact that even one simple wrong move can ensure protagonist Christina doesn't live to see the light of one more day is distressing, heightening the stress level while playing.
7. School Days
To be fair, most of the time you're actually playing School Days is spent shaking your head at main character Makoto's boneheaded decisions. Where the game can absolutely lead to compassionate and warm endings in which all characters are treated respectfully and given a chance to live happily ever after, School Days also plays host to a menagerie of much darker endings, depicting bloody suicides, murders, and other equally disturbing occurrences that will no doubt jar players originally on board for the drama and H-scenes originally advertised.
In a nutshell, when School Days goes south, it goes south -- we're talking people get killed, and plenty of them. Play it, and you'll see what we mean.
8. Gore Screaming Show
As if the title weren't a dead giveaway, you're in for some seriously twisted chills with Gore Screaming Show, which centers around a mysterious being known only as a Gore and the cherub-faced little girl he seems to have sworn loyalty to. We won't spoil the specifics of the plot for players who haven't experienced it, but like School Days before it, if you happen to go down the wrong path be prepared to face up to some particularly grisly scenes involving mutilation, nonconsensual sex, and other disturbing depictions of violence that will chill you to the bone.
9. Umineko No Naku Koro Ni
While this is actually the third in the series (also including the aforementioned Higurashi) it rivals Higurashi in terms of sheer creep factor and some particularly decadent scare chords. Not only is its musical direction superb and supremely disconcerting, it also features many grisly murders and head-scratching plot twists that will undoubtedly leave you guessing.
Perhaps one of the most standout moments involves a simple game with a mother and child that involves "playing dead." Are you a fan of candy? You won't be.
10. Imabikisou
One of the first next-gen visual novels available, Imabikisou relies on real actors and actresses as well as real-world situations to prey on its players' imaginations. While there isn't a full English translation yet so as to find out exactly how horrifying the game can get, simply viewing a few trailers and "let's play" videos on YouTube reveals this novel feels much like being stuck in a dark and atmospheric J-horror film like that of The Grudge or The Ring. And if the trailers can scare you out of your wits, imagine what playing the game will actually do.

Saint Augustine's University lost to Shaw University Wednesday (Feb. 29) for the third time this season, but this game was much different.
The Lady Falcons put a major scare in their crosstown rival during the CIAA Tournament women's basketball quarterfinals, but the Lady Bears closed out with an 80-73 victory at Time Warner Cable Arena. The loss ended the Lady Falcons season at 14-14, but Head Coach Rachel Bullard was proud of her women in defeat.
"Shaw is a good team, but I will take our team any day of the week, especially when they play like that," Bullard said.
CIAA player of the year Keyona Bryant (Sr./Springdale, Md.) finished with a double-double of 17 points and 10 rebounds in her last game in a Lady Falcon uniform. During her career, Bryant became the school's modern career scoring leader and three-time All-CIAA selection. She ended her university career with 1,601 points.
Umeka Benson (Soph./Charlotte, N.C.) added 15 points and Victoria Davis (Soph./San Diego, Calif.) had 12 points and seven rebounds as four players scored in double figures for the Lady Falcons, who outscored the Lady Bears 44-33 in the second half.
Alsea Williams led a balanced scoring attack with 19 points and Kyrie Buford added 15 points and 14 rebounds for the Lady Bears, who were hard on the Lady Falcons during the regular season. The Lady Bears, who won the Southern Division title and posted a league-best 15-1 CIAA mark, took both regular-season games by an average of 42.5 points.
The Lady Bears (21-6), the defending CIAA champions, appear headed toward another rout in the third meeting. They built a 47-29 halftime lead on 55 percent shooting, and the only question left was how much the Lady Bears would win by this time.
The Lady Falcons, the No. 5 Southern Division seed, answered that question with a relentless second half effort, their best against their nemesis this season. The run started after a St. Aug player and a Shaw player were ejected simultaneously early in the second half.
The ejections fired up the Lady Falcons, who trailed 52-33 at the time. They used a 32-14 run to slowly chip away at the deficit. The run was capped by Ebony Spencer's (Soph./Chesapeake, Va.) layup, which sliced the Lady Bears' lead to 66-65 with 5:31 left.
"We wanted to come out in the second half with a sense of urgency," Bullard said. "I told them,' This is it! We've got to fight and we've got to play every single second of every single minute."'
The Lady Falcons clearly had the momentum in the second half, but they missed two chances to either take the lead or tie. That was the closest they would get. Crystal Harris (11 points, 10 rebounds, four steals) was key down the stretch for the Lady Bears, scoring six straight points, including a critical three-point play, which pushed their lead to 72-65 with 3:08 to play.
The Lady Falcons' Denika Harden, who made four three-pointers all year, canned her third of the game to close the gap to 72-68, but Buford responded with a long three for a 75-68 lead. The Lady Bears led by nine points with 17 seconds to go.
The contest provided a glimpse of the future for the Lady Falcons. With senior Brittany Torain (Warner Robins, Ga.) out because of injury in Tuesday's win over Elizabeth City State, freshmen guards Denika Harden (Greensboro, N.C.) and Jasmine Cuffee (Norfolk, Va.) stepped up big in the second half during the Lady Falcons' rally.
Harden scored a career-high 11 points and Cuffee inspired her teammates with non-stop hustle and clever passing. It was her steal that led to Spencer's layup which trimmed the Lady Falcons' deficit to one late in the game.
"I'm always nervous about the babies," Bullard said about her freshmen guards. "But with Brittany down, we had to rely on them. Even though Li'Esa [Barnett] and Morgan [Mitchell] didn't play, I could hear them cheering loudly for their teammates on the bench. They are the future for the Lady Falcons."
If Wednesday was any indication, next season looks bright. The Lady Falcons lose only three seniors including Bryant.
"We fought hard," Bullard said. "I am absolutely proud of the kids."

They say that New York City is 'the city that never sleeps' and with the incredible turnout at the Coffee & Tea Festival NYC, I can certainly imagine why!!
This past weekend, I took my first trip to the Big Apple to engage with thousands of attendees at the festival. Here are some observations from my trip:
Who says kids are the only ones who should get an Easter basket? Gifts are always great, especially if you receive a gift pertaining to something you're passionate about!
I'm a coffee lover, and work with others who are passionate about coffee—that's why we brainstormed some coffee gifts we'd love to receive.
A recent article in the Wall Street Journal titled "Stress-Busting Smiles" proclaimed "smiling could be good for your health."1
This intrigued me. How?
A recent study suggests that wearing a grin can bring benefits, "like slowing down the heart and reducing stress." 1

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.—After barely hanging on during a dismal first half Sunday night, the Bears crushed the Giants with 28 points in less than 25 minutes of the second half for a 38-20 victory over a team that didn't show them much respect before the game.
The result was a decisive road victory against a strong conference foe that had won five straight and had allowed only 16 points total in its previous three home games. If the Bears are still considered overrated at 8-1, they don't much care at this point.
NFL is not a 'rated' league like college," Bears quarterback Rex Grossman said. "I'm not sure where we're rated. What does that really mean?"
First quarter
Disaster came early and often and in much the same form as it had against Miami. The Giants easily sliced through the Bears' defense, exactly as wideout Plaxico Burress had predicted. They started from their 29 with a 17-yard completion from Eli Manning to Burress and runs of 18 and 21 yards by Tiki Barber. The drive reached the Bears' 15 after a 5-yard throw to Barber. But Hunter Hillenmeyer made a leaping deflection of a Manning pass, and the New York quarterback badly overthrew Burress to force a 33-yard field-goal try by Jay Feely that missed wide right.
The Giants then came at Grossman with the same kind of blitz pressure the Dolphins used successfully. With the ball at the Bears' 25, Grossman was hit by Will Demps on a safety blitz, and the ball went into the hands of defensive end Mathias Kiwanuka, who had dropped into coverage. Kiwanuka returned the pick 32 yards before being knocked out of bounds at the 1. Brandon Jacobs scored to give the Giants a 7-0 lead.
The Bears managed a first down on a highlight catch by Muhsin Muhammad, but the New York blitz forced Grossman into hurried throws.
But then the defense created an opportunity. Charles Tillman shadowed Burress perfectly down the sideline, then broke inside and intercepted Manning's pass at the Bears' 44, returning it to the New York 45. A roughing-the-passer penalty gave the Bears 15 yards, but two drops by Rashied Davis, starting for Bernard Berrian, left the Bears with a 49-yard field-goal attempt. Robbie Gould ran his 2006 mark to 23 straight.
But in the closing minute of the quarter, safety Gibril Wilson ripped the ball out of Thomas Jones' hands, and the Giants had the ball well inside Bears territory again.
What went right: Gould's consistency remained a bright spot amid offensive troubles, and the defense refused to buckle.
What went wrong: Grossman and the offense were unable to burn the Giants despite the long list of injuries to the New York defense. They couldn't run the ball well enough to take pressure off Grossman.
Quote: "They came out with a lot of intensity. They hit us in the mouth a little bit." Grossman on woeful first quarter.
Second quarter
Cedric Benson was in for the first snap on three of four drives, but neither he nor Jones was doing much of anything. When the Bears opted for a Jones run on third-and-8 from their 13, the implication seemed to be that the Bears had no confidence in Grossman or the offense to convert anything longer than a dive.
Jones' fumble at the end of the first quarter had turned into New York points when Feely converted from 46 yards. But the offense remained unable to mount a challenge, with consecutive three-and-outs at a time when momentum was theirs for the taking. Chad Morton then broke loose for a 36-yard punt return down the sideline to give the Giants good position at the Bears' 31. A completion to Burress, who was generally being defended well by Tillman, got the Giants a first down. But New York settled for a Feely field goal from 40 yards for a 13-3 lead.
The Bears then gave themselves a chance to turn the game around with one of their more improbable drives in recent weeks. Despite two penalties, the offense moved from the Bears' 26 to the New York 29 in seven plays, picking up first downs on Grossman passes to Jones and Muhammad plus a 26-yard Jones run on third down. On first down inside the final minute, Mark Bradley beat a jam off the line by cornerback Sam Madison, who stumbled slightly and injured his hamstring as Bradley broke free. Grossman lofted the ball perfectly over Madison, and Bradley, playing for the first time after five weeks as an inactive, gathered in his second pass of the season at the 1 and scored. That pulled the Bears within 13-10 in a half that had been completely dominated by the Giants.
What went right: A third-and-22 conversion and the Bears going to a no-huddle offense changed the momentum of the game in the closing minutes of the half.
What went wrong: The Bears were penalized for more yards (35) than they gained rushing (31).
Quote: "Sometimes it helps, when things aren't going well, to go to a no-huddle like that. It catches them in a situation where they're calling basic stuff and aren't real sure what's going on." Grossman on the final minutes of the first half when the game changed.

Consumers sitting on billions in old iPhones
Americans are sitting on $34 billion in old cellphones, a survey says. Some people don't realize they can sell or recycle them, and others admit they're just too lazy to do it.
This post comes from Quentin Fottrell at partner site MarketWatch.
Why is an old iPhone still worth hundreds of dollars? New research suggests a surprising explanation: hoarding.
More than half of American consumers say they have two or more unused cellphones in their household, according to a new survey. The trade-in value of all those old gadgets: $34 billion, according to resale site SellCell.com -- which has a vested interest in tapping into this possible gold mine. Old iPhones account for roughly a quarter of that sum.
Apple has been able to release a new model every year since 2007 -- 85 million phones and $50 billion in revenue -- partly because it's easy and inexpensive for customers to sell their old ones for new models.
But clearly large numbers of users never part with their old devices.
"If more iPhones flooded the market, the resale price would drop, and there would be less incentive for users to upgrade," says technology analyst Jeff Kagan. The high price of old iPhones helps fuel demand for the latest gadget, he says.
The retail price of a new iPhone starts at $650, but most people pay wireless carriers a subsidized price of $199 with a two-year contract. Since many resale sites offer $200 for previous iPhone models, customers are often able to upgrade to the new model for free.
While some of the old cellphones people have around the house may be damaged beyond repair, almost one in five of those surveyed say they are just "too lazy" to sell their old devices, the survey found. The same number of respondents was worried about jeopardizing their personal data by throwing away or recycling their unused cellphone, while others didn't realize they can make cash from their old phones, says Colin White, the managing director of SellCell.com. Only 20% sell or recycle them, he says.
Demand for used phones may pick up in the U.S. if T-Mobile goes ahead with its plans to eliminate the standard U.S. contract system and allows users to pay a lower monthly rate in exchange for higher upfront costs for the phone, says Brian Colello, an analyst at Morningstar. But as each upgrade become less dramatic, he says a "bigger risk" to Apple is that customers will hold on to the iPhone 4S or 5 for a longer period of time instead of buying a new iPhone in 2013. (Apple did not respond to requests for comment.)
Apple still has one of the highest upgrade rates in the industry: 83% of iPhone owners in December planned to upgrade, up from 73% a year earlier, according to Morgan Stanley Research. That rate was just 63% for Samsung and 47% for HTC.
But analysts say the company remains heavily dependent on its iPhone pipeline, hence new products like the iPad Mini and recent rumors of an iWatch. The iPhone accounts for about 56% of revenue -- one reason Apple's share price has fallen from its peak of more than $700 last September, Kagan says.
More on MarketWatch and MSN Money:
Are people getting new iphones every year because the old one sucks and they keep thinking it will get better? They couldn't pay me to have an iphone.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - A federal judge says a man exonerated in the 1980 killing of a UW-Madison student can proceed with a federal civil rights lawsuit.
It's the third such lawsuit Ralph Armstrong has filed, alleging civil rights violations in the way he was prosecuted.
Armstrong was convicted in the sexual assault and strangulation of UW student Charise Kamps 33 years ago.
In 2009, his criminal conviction was overturned. Federal Judge Barbara Crabb allowed Armstrong's civil suit to proceed.
In that suit, Armstrong said prosecutors lost evidence which would have helped him in his original trial. He also alleged that State Crime Lab workers and others destroyed evidence before he could be re-tried in his criminal case.
Judge Crabb said a few of Armstrong's claims could not be pursued in his civil rights case. They include alleged witness tampering, and the suppression of an apparent confession by a brother of Armstrong's.

World Wetlands Day 2005
"There's wealth in wetland diversity
- don't lose it!"
Our theme for World Wetlands Day 2005 is the cultural and biological diversity of wetlands and we have used the slogan There's wealth in wetland diversity - don't lose it! to reflect this on the enclosed poster and stickers. We hope you will find this focus and the materials useful in your activities for WWD this coming February.
The cultural and biological diversity of wetlands together represent a natural wealth that sustains us both physically and emotionally. The cultural heritage in our wetlands is the result of the millennia-long association between people and wetlands, an association that has brought "wealth" to past generations and, with your help, will continue to do so for future generations. It's an association that developed because of the utility of wetlands - in short, the diversity of wetland plant and animal life has provided sustenance as well as many other benefits for people.
The images on the poster and stickers were chosen to represent the cultural and biological diversity of wetlands on one side, with a colourful, vibrant series of images, and on the other side, the result of "losing" this wealth, through wetland pollution and destruction.
The family of Yezo Sika deer at the Kushiro Marsh Ramsar Site in Japan; the clown fish, endemic to the Maldive Islands, hiding in the tentacles of a sea anemone on a coral reef; and the diminutive sundew, a tiny insectivorous plant that inhabits peat bogs (in this case in Slovakia), are testimony to the beauty of the biological diversity in our wetlands. The rice terraces in Laos and the artisanal salt extraction at the Marais salants de Guérande et du Més Ramsar Site in France illustrate the cultural landscapes created by human use of wetlands, while the totora boat from the Suriqui community at the Lake Titicaca Ramsar Site in Bolivia and the fish traps at Hadejia-Nguru wetlands, a Ramsar site in Nigeria, demonstrate the ingenuity of humans in using wetland plants to construct boats and fishing gear for exploiting the wealth of wetlands. And finally, the carved stone in the centre of the poster comes from the ancient Angkor Wat complex in Cambodia, constructed during the 11-13th centuries - this particular cameo in the temple wall is evidence of the close association between humans and wetland species, and it's yet another example of the cultural heritage associated with our wetlands through their utility to people.
We hope you will join with us on 2nd February and celebrate the wealth in the diversity of your wetlands.
Please don't forget to tell the Secretariat what you did on World Wetlands Day for the reports section of our WWD Web pages - last year's can be viewed here. We always do our best to include all the reports we receive but we would really appreciate all reports to be sent to us by May 2005. Photos, text and sample materials are all welcome. Contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

Black/Brown Coalition Fueled Big Union Win
When workers at Smithfield Foods' North Carolina packing house voted in the union on Dec. 11, 2008 the longest, most bitter anti-union campaign in modern labor history went down to defeat. Sixteen years ago workers there began organizing with the United Food and Commercial Workers. The successful union strategy relied on organizing resistance to immigration-related firings, and uniting a diverse workforce of African Americans, Puerto Ricans and immigrant Mexicans.
In 1994 and 1997 the union was defeated in elections later thrown out by federal authorities, because the company created an atmosphere of violence and terror in the plant. In 1997 one worker was beaten after the vote count. Company guards were given the ability to arrest workers, who were held in a detention center in the plant that they called the company jail. Many workers were fired for union activity. And in recent years, immigration raids swept the plant in the middle of the union drive, adding to the climate of intimidation.
It was no surprise, then, that the pro-union vote (2,041 to 1,879) set off celebrations in house trailers and ramshackle homes in Tar Heel, Red Springs, Santa Paula, and all the tiny working-class towns spread from Fayetteville down to the South Carolina border. Union membership in North Carolina is the lowest in the country. But Smithfield workers were not just celebrating a vote count. Their victory was the culmination of an organizing strategy that accomplished what many have said U.S. unions can no longer do -- organize a multi-racial membership in huge, privately-owned factories.
Five thousand people work in the world's largest pork slaughterhouse, where they kill and cut apart 32,000 hogs every day. Efforts by the modern U.S. labor movement to organize factories the size of the Tar Heel plant have not been very successful for the last two decades. In fact, private-sector unionization has fallen below 8 percent of the workforce. The giant electronics plants of California's Silicon Valley have an anti-union strategy so intimidating that unions haven't even tried to organize them for years. Japanese car manufacturers that built assembly plants in the South have successfully kept workers from organizing, in spite of efforts by the auto union.
The price for labor's failure to organize Japanese plants became clear in December's Congressional debate over the auto bailout proposal. Southern Republican Senators demanded that the United Auto Workers agree to gut its union contracts to match the non-union wages and conditions at Nissan, Honda and BMW. The presence of the non-union plants threatens to destroy the union, and the same dilemma exists in industry after industry.
Unions are pinning their hopes on the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA). This proposal would require a company like Smithfield to negotiate a union contract if a majority of workers sign union cards. It would avoid the kind of union election that took place at Smithfield in 1997, where workers voted in an atmosphere of violence and terror. EFCA would also put penalties on employers who fire workers for union activity.
At Smithfield, the company rehired in 2006 workers it had fired for union activity in 1994. But it was only obliged to pay the fired workers for their lost wages, and even was allowed to deduct any money they'd earned during the decade that their cases wound through the legal system. EFCA would substantially restrict the kind of anti-union campaign Smithfield mounted for 15 years.
But EFCA by itself will not build strong unions, which workers can use not just to win elections but to make substantial changes in the workplace. The union at Smithfield wasn't created on election day. Workers had already organized it in the battles that preceded the vote. They did much more than sign union cards. They had to lose their fear, and show open support for the demands they'd chosen themselves -- like lower line speed to reduce injuries, rehiring workers fired because of their immigration status, or giving workers a paid holiday for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday.

KLM 747 Lands with Gear Malfunction Damaging Aircraft [PHOTO] [VIDEO]
A KLM jet landed at Amsterdam's Polderbaan Airport yesterday with is right main body gear out of alignment bursting the tires and prompting an emergency call from the pilots.
KLM Flight 612, a Boeing 747-400, came to a stop just off runway 18R where fire crews met the plane. The passengers disembarked from stairs. There were no injuries reported.
The 747's gear scraped on its wheels during rollout. The damage appears to be only relagated to the gear itself.

A Valley real estate agent, charged with helping clients purchase a home with money made from drug trafficking, was released from custody Thursday.
The judge told Tanya Marchiol at a detention hearing she is not allowed to leave Arizona or make any purchases more than $500.
She won't be allowed to work as a real estate agent, must adhere to a curfew and will be under GPS monitoring.
Federal investigators said Tuesday that the 39-year-old Marchiol was indicted by a grand jury Oct. 8 on 11 charges.
[Click here to read full the indictment (PDF)]
The counts include conspiracy to commit money laundering, transactional money laundering and structuring financial transactions.
According to the indictment, two people approached Marchiol in 2008 about buying a home but helping them conceal ownership.
[Click here to read the warrant for her arrest (PDF)]
Marchiol has been a commentator on business and real estate for television networks, including Fox News and CNBC. On Oct. 9, she appeared on the CBS 5 Start Smart Morning News talking about the housing market.
She co-founded TEAM Investments, and her clients include Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb, according to the company's website.
Marchiol's media relations agency announced Tuesday it was severing ties with the woman.
Goldman McCormick PR issued a statement on Tuesday that said:
"We believe in innocent until proven guilty, however, based on the severity of the charges in the indictment we can no longer maintain a working business relationship with Ms. Marchiol. Ms. Marchiol was indicted by a grand jury on eleven charges on October 8th 2013 but, we just learned of this matter a few short hours ago.
"It came as a total shock and had we known about this information prior hand, we would have immediately ceased all media relations activities the moment it was discovered. As much as we love and respect our clients, we have an even greater respect for members of the media.
"We pride our longstanding relationship with media on the pillars of honesty, integrity, and passion. We would never knowingly allow anything or anyone to tarnish that. We cannot offer any comment on Ms. Marchiol's case."

(WMC-TV) – The Bluff City is considered by some the "foreclosure capitol of America." Memphis leaders are holding a critical event in an effort to provide hope to struggling homeowners.
NACA, the Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America, is holding a five-day homeownership and foreclosure prevention event beginning Thursday.
Dorothelia Fletcher built years of memories in her home in southeast Memphis.
"My husband had just passed," she said. "We were married 44 years and we'd been here 21."
Without her husband, Fletcher could not afford the home.
"It was kind of hard. It was hard because I didn't want to move," she explained.
She happened to be doing custodial work for NACA's Memphis office and learned of a foreclosure prevention event.
"I didn't know what I was going to do at that time. The event just happened to be in Memphis at that time," she said.
NACA worked with her mortgage company.
"God was definitely in the works. Definitely," said Fletcher.
Two years later, she's still in her home, after the group knocked $25,000 off of her mortgage.
"My payments went down from $1,100 to $866," she added.
NACA helps low to moderate income families in home ownership crisis.
"Folks who have unaffordable mortgages, help them stay in their homes at a more affordable, lower payment," said Rick Herrera, NACA.
The organization also helps people buy new homes.
"We have all the major lenders participating in the event so there is no red tape. The banks should be able to make a decision that same day," said Herrera.
In December alone, 1,500 Memphians foreclosed.
On Tuesday, Mayor A C Wharton urged people to take advantage of the services.
"Many of the blighted properties that taxpayers as a whole are paying for now are a result of folks simply not having this kind of relief," said Mayor Wharton. "This is not merely for those seeking the help, but it's for the interest of the city as well."
But you must come prepared with the proper paperwork. Registration for the event can be done online. To register, click here: http://www.naca.com
The event runs Thursday through Monday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Cook Convention Center.

Already much praised in the new Captiva, the latest diesel engine from Chevrolet Europe is now to be built into other model series, too: From spring 2007, the two-litre common rail unit will also be available for the midsize Epica sedan. The 110 kW/150hp diesel version will celebrate its world premiere at the Paris Motor Show.
As standard, the powerful diesel (maximum torque: 310 Nm at 2,000 rpm) is mated with a manual five-speed gearbox, but it can optionally also be paired with an automatic transmission. The Epica Diesel travels from 0-100 km/h in just 9.7 sec (automatic version: 10.1 sec) and has a top speed of 201 km/h (automatic: 208 km/h). Despite this excellent performance, the new unit is very frugal indeed with an MVEG fuel consumption of only 6.1 litres /100 km (automatic: 7.7 l/100 km).
The four-valve engine boasts a latest-generation common rail system from Bosch, in which the injectors inject the diesel fuel into the combustion chambers at a pressure of up to 1,600 bar. Other technical features of the SOHC unit include the aluminium cylinder head, a balance shaft and the turbocharger with variable turbine geometry (VTG).
Alternatively, buyers of the new 4.81m long sedan will be able to choose one of two transversally installed, in-line six-cylinder gasoline engines. The two 24-valve units with capacities of 2.0 and 2.5 litres (105 kW/144 hp and 115 kW/156 hp) are noted for their particularly smooth running. Equally convincing is the way the powerful six-cylinder gasoline units develop their power. They take the Epica from zero to 100 km/h in 11.8 and 9.9 seconds respectively, and both have a top speed of over 200 km/h. The 2.0-litre engine has been mated with a five-speed manual transmission as standard. The top model comes with a new five-speed automatic transmission, an option that is also available with the smaller engine. The MVEG consumption for the 2.0-litre model is 8.2 l per 100 km (automatic: 8.9 l), and with the bigger engine, 9.3 l.
With its sporty yet elegant contours, the Epica complies exactly with the taste of Europe's car drivers. In the distinctly arranged front section, particular highlights include the large wrap-around clear-glass headlamps and the substantial cross bar carrying the large Chevrolet bow tie in the chrome grille.
The side view of Chevrolet's new top-of-the-line sedan is strikingly modern with its rising, wedge-shaped profile. It is marked by a striking character line that extends to the front and rear wings. The designers have positioned the grip-type chrome door handles and the large outer mirrors with integrated indicator lamps precisely on this character line. The rear is dominated by the large bumper and the dominant chrome strip that joins up the two tail lamps with their circular lenses.
The generous amount of space is one of the strengths of the front-wheel driven Epica (length/width/height: 4,805 / 1,810 / 1,450 mm, wheelbase: 2,700 mm). The trunk has a capacity of 480 l (VDA standard). Extra space can be created by folding the rear seat backrest down onto the seat in the ratio of 1/3:2/3, and longer items such as skis can also be transported without problem.
Passengers also benefit from maximum safety and drive comfort. The modern chassis is equipped with McPherson struts at the front and a multi-link suspension at the rear. The Epica is also fitted with four disc brakes (ventilated at the front), four-channel anti-lock braking system and electronic brake-force distribution. The standard safety package in the Epica includes many passive safety features like the stable passenger cell (made 40% of high-strength steel), front airbags for the driver and passenger plus side and head airbags, belt force limiters and belt tensioners.
The equipment in the new Chevrolet conforms to the level of the upper mid-class. Even the basic LS version has a height-adjustable driver's seat, electrical window raisers at the front and rear, remote-controlled central locking, thermal insulation glass, air-conditioning and an audio unit with MP3. The top model, the Epica LT, has a number of additional comfort and safety features like the standard leather upholstery, electronically controlled automatic air-conditioning, heated seats for the driver and passenger, cruise control, traction control and a sensor-guided parking aid at the rear.

VERO BEACH -- When Dale Brandt started his appliance repair business in 1989, he never imagined that it would grow like it has.
"We've come a long way in 24 years," he says, "I'm humbled by it."
Mr. Brandt started Brandt's Appliance Parts and Service as a one-man operation. Brandt's now boasts 32 employees and 20 service trucks.
After spending a few years in Sebastian, followed by 18 years on Dodger Road in Vero Beach, Mr. Brandt moved into a prime location a year ago on U.S. 1, just a few miles south of Wabasso.
Mr. Brandt says he built his business with one philosophy: Treat people like you want to be treated. That's not just lip-service, either. Just two nights ago, he personally went to help an elderly customer whose refrigerator had stopped working at 11p.m.
"I had to transfer all of her food to a refrigerator in the garage," he said.
Unlike most appliance repair companies whose servicemen are specialized for specific types of appliances, each of Brandt's technicians is certified to repair just about everything.
Brandt's techs get service calls from Mims to Stuart and everywhere in between. The business is licensed to service more than 40 name-brand appliances and has a service agreement with Lowes to service their products as well.
Their service is so good, Whirlpool named Brandt's first in customer satisfaction in the Southeast region of the United States for 2011 and 2012.
The new location has allowed Brandt's to expand its services into the area of outdoor kitchens. But they don't just repair them, they build them.
"We realized that there was a void that needed to be filled," says Paul Stokes, outdoor sales specialist. "Why hire three different companies to build your island, do your stonework, supply the equipment and provide service and maintenance when you can just hire one company to do it all?"
In becoming that "one company," Brandt's has hired a stone mason with 31 years of experience and in-house fabricators.
But Mr. Brandt's newest pride and joy is his outdoor kitchen showroom. Displaying their work with two full-length stone kitchen islands, installed with top-of-the-line grills, coolers, ice machines and fireplaces, it's bound to be the envy of every person that walks in.
"As far as I know, there is no one within 200 miles who is doing what we do," says Mr. Stokes. "And I don't think there is anyone in Florida with a showroom like this."
Some attribute Mr. Brandt's success to the family-like atmosphere of the company. Among his employees are his son, Dale Jr. and daughter, Jacaline. Brandt's Service Director Vince Shababy has been with the company for 23 years. There are also husbands and wives who work there. Paul Stokes' wife, Melissa, is the office manager.
"Dale is easy to work for," Mr. Stokes said. "He's laid back and mild-mannered. He has just one rule: Do your job and do it right."
It's easy to see how Mr. Brandt's approach to people and business made him the patriarch of this family.
Brandt's Appliance Parts and Service is located at 6880 U.S 1 in Vero Beach. They can be reached at (772) 562-5759.

BONNERS FERRY, Idaho (AP) -- A pipe bomb exploded outside the front door of a Bonners Ferry residence over the weekend, injuring two men. The Bonners Ferry Chief of Police said the explosion could be heard for miles.
"It was heard over a wide area. Rocked a lot of people out of bed," said Bob Boone, Bonners Ferry Chief of Police.
Boone said 19-year-old Allen Avery was arrested on suspicion of possession of an explosive device and charged with unlawful use of destructive device or bomb. His bond was being held at $300,000. Police said Avery lit the bomb before running away.
Police received a call at 1:18 a.m. Sunday about the explosion. The two injured men said they opened the door, saw the pipe bomb and closed the door as it exploded. The two men were treated and released from the hospital. Officials said one victim almost had his Achilles tendon cut in half.
The pipe bomb went off at a mobile home. Three veterans were home at the time of the explosion. The two injured were watching T.V. just feet away from where the bomb was placed and heard the fuse, according to the men.
"The occupants of the residence had seen the device, and then quickly closed the door which probably saved their life," said Boone.
Boone says an investigation by local, state and federal officials led to Avery's arrest.
"Apparently there was a personal vendetta that occured before. The suspect believed that these individuals were resposnsible for breaking into his automobile," said Boone.

The city of Cortez and Colorado Department of Transportation remove the barriers Wednesday around the area where there was a major water leak at Main and Harrison streets. With the barriers coming down, eastbound Main Street is back to two open lanes and Harrison Street is open again. The barriers were installed after a valve on a water pipe broke on Jan. 24. Workers had to dig up and repair the break. CDOT required the concrete traffic barriers to be installed before work could begin.

APPLETON, WI (WTAQ) - Police in Appleton have arrested four people in connection with a drug investigation.
Authorities say they went to a home in the 2600 block of South Jackson Street around 4:20 p.m. Monday with a warrant for a man who skipped a court appearance.
Police say they were let into the house and met several people in the basement. While there, they saw evidence of drug distribution, as well as drugs and drug paraphernalia. Afterward, they secured the scene and got a search warrant.
After further investigation, police say they arrested 18-year-old Kong A. Vang, 26-year-old Daniel W. Luce, 20-year-old Tyler N. Thorson, and 20-year-old Matthew D. Lenzer.
Vang was the man police say they were originally looking for.
Police are recommending charges involving methamphetamine and marijuana against him, charges involving methamphetamine against Thorson and Lenzer, and charges of bail jumping against Luce.
However, prosecutors have so far not formally charged any of the men with any crimes related to these arrests.

Asset-based financing has evolved into a widely-accepted form of financing. A general characteristic of asset-based financing clients is that the company is undergoing some type of financial transition – rapid growth, recapitalization, turnaround, or purchase of another firm. Other users of asset-based financing include businesses with high inventory ratios, such as retailers in need of working capital, and manufacturers with significant unsold inventory or work-in-process.

ST.PAUL, Minn. (KFGO AM) -- Critics have said a higher state minimum wage could make Minnesota employers cut hiring, but studies show that hasn't happened in places that have done it before.
Director of the Minnesota Budget Project Nan Madden says economists have spent years comparing states that have raised the minimum wage to neighbors that haven't and have often been surprised to see that increasing low-end pay hasn't cost jobs.
Some of the studies found businesses make up the price of higher wages though reducing what they have to pay out due to high turnover.
John Puckett, owner of a Punch Pizza, has begun paying new hires $10 an hour, and says it isn't a choice made for the sake of good publicity or a short-term boost to morale, but because it pays off over years.

11 August - Abi is a winner
Abi Flowerday, a 17 year old student from Cosham, is set to zip around Hampshire by bus from now on, as she was named as the lucky winner of Hampshire County Council and First's ZIP Bus Priority Corridor competition which ran on Wave 105 FM recently.
Running during May the competition on Wave 105 FM offered local people the chance to win a FirstYear Hampshire bus ticket, worth £540, with 10 further runners up winning FirstMonth tickets. To take part people simply had to enter a prize draw on the radio station's website.
Of the many hundreds of entries Abi's name was picked out at random, so on Thursday 21 July she met with Councillor Mel Kendal, Executive Member for Environment and Transport, Hampshire County Council; Chris Chester, ZIP Corridor Business Manager, First Hampshire and Dorset, and Steve Power from Wave 105 FM's Breakfast programme to receive her FirstYear ticket, which will enable her to travel as often as she wishes on any First bus in Hampshire.
Talking about the win, Abi says: "I use the bus a lot to travel to and from Southdowns College where I am studying for my A levels, and to get in and out of the city centre. I find the buses convenient - they get me where I need to go quickly and easily and that gives me a sense of independence that I wouldn't otherwise have. I'm thrilled to have won this prize; it will make a real difference to me, enabling me to travel further around Hampshire while saving me lots of money. I previously had a bus pass that just covered travel into Portsmouth, but this is so much better."
Councillor Mel Kendal says: "I'm very pleased to be presenting this prize to Abi who is using the pass to travel to college to study for her A levels. Providing a transport infrastructure which supports access to areas of employment and education is vital in these economic times, and enabling an A level student to get to college independently is a good example of this. The ZIP corridor was launched in November 2008 to provide a priority route for bus services between Clanfield and Gunwharf Quays. Since then it has attracted significant numbers of people who want to take advantage of more reliable journey times while travelling to and from Portsmouth."
Chris Chester, First Hampshire and Dorset's Business Manager for the ZIP Corridor adds: "I'm delighted that Abi has won this ticket, she will no doubt get a great deal of use out of it, using our buses to get out and about over the next 12 months. It's great timing for her too; as she prepares to break up from college for the summer holidays she'll be able to use the buses to really make the most of her summer break. Congratulations Abi."
May 2011 - Real-time bus arrivals now online
Passengers using the ZIP 8 bus service can now benefit from real-time bus arrival information online as well as on-screen in bus shelters along the route.
Just go to www.zipbus.co.uk and click on the route map. From here, you can select your stop and zoom in for real-time bus arrival data for the next four buses, as well as a Txt4times reference for updates direct to your mobile.

Tube top
|This section needs additional citations for verification. (November 2013)
A tube top, colloquially known in the U.K. as a boob tube,[1] is a shoulderless, sleeveless women's garment that wraps around the upper torso. It is generally tight over the breasts, usually by means of elastic bands at its top and bottom, to prevent it from falling. The tube top was popular in the late 1970s/early 1980s and returned to popularity in the 1990s and 2000s.
Murray Kleid created the tube top by mistake but marketed the garment upon realizing its potential. Samples were sent out to distributors, and within two months the tube top was shipped worldwide.[citation needed] Kleid's company S & M Fringing Inc. rose to prominence within New York City's eclectic garment district.
Israeli fashion designer Elie Tahari claimed in 2012 that he helped popularize tube top after his arrival in New York in 1971.[2]

Posts tagged K'inich Yax K'uk' Mo'
In the iconography of the different rulers of Copan, K'inich Yax K'uk' Mo', the founder of Copan, can be recognized by several attributes, especially that of warriors from Teotihuacan. For example, Altar Q, exhibited in the Sculpture Museum in Copan, depicts the sixteen rulers of Copan, but K'inich Yax K'uk' Mo' is easily recognized, probably investing with power the sixteenth ruler. He wears goggles, which were characteristic of Teotihuacan warriors, has a macaw and a quetzal intermingled on his headdress, and his right arm is covered by what looks like a shield.
Tests done to the body that is believed to be that of K'inich Yax K'uk' Mo', show that he had fractures on his right arm, which could have been caused by the handling of the shield. Furthermore, these tests show that he was not from Copan, leading some to believe that he was from Tikal or Teotihuacan. The intermingling of the macaw and the quetzal is an interesting one that could derive from ancient myths. It is known that Quetzals feathers were imported from Guatemala, while Macaws were collected in Copan. Today the scarlet Macaw is the national bird of Honduras, while the Quetzal is the national bird of Guatemala. No other ruler in Copan is depicted with this type of headdress.
