Crushing Strength of Cemented Tungsten Carbide Pistons
Haygarth, John C.; Kennedy, George C. Review of Scientific Instruments, 1967
The crushing strength of various models of cemented tungsten carbide pistons has been determined as a function of the ratio of unconstrained length to diameter (L/D). There was little effect for pistons whose ends were unsupported, but a dramatic increase in crushing strength with decreasing L/D for pistons whose ends were supplied with interference‐fitted binding rings. Tests with pistons of ...
Evaluation of low cyclic thermal fatigue life and safety for diesel engine's pistons
Wenxiao Zhang; Xiaofei Ding; Guodong Gao Consumer Electronics, Communications and Networks (CECNet), 2011 International Conference on, 2011
The axisymmetric temperature fields and cyclic elastic-plastic stress-strain fields and Mises' equivalent stress-strain fields of 12V180 and 42-160 engines' pistons were calculated by the program "ADINAT/ADINA". The tests of thermal-mechanical and isothermal low-cycle fatigue at elevated temperatures were carried out with the cylindrical notched specimens according to the "start-stop" wave. The results of tests and calculations showed that the relationships ...
The Reliability Analysis for Pistons on Fracture Mechanics

The cutting tool driven directly ...
Improving the piston assembly by machine vision recognition technology
Xiao-feng Yue; Yan-wen Ren; Song Lei; Wang Wei Computer, Mechatronics, Control and Electronic Engineering (CMCE), 2010 International Conference on, 2010
The things of missed assembling, reversed assembling and mixed assembling of the pistons happen from time to time. The assemble quality of pistons has severe influence on the performance of vehicle engine. With the aid of machine vision recognition technology, these mistakes could be successfully avoided; it makes the piston assembling quality stable and labor intensity lower.

"These are the songs that people ask for when we're on tour," says vocalist/guitarist Brian Sella of THE FRONT BOTTOMS, about their new six-track ROSE EP (Bar/None Records; release date June 17, 2014). "They're songs that we've either played live at shows or had kicking around that we couldn't let go of."
"I suppose some would call me a control freak, but on the other hand it's completely imperfect, and low-fi, like me. I'm a control freak about keeping things dirty."
Drgn King's sophomore LP frontman Dominic Angelela tells the story of growing up in Baltimore, "Mobtown" (these days they like to call it "Charm City.") The songs revolve around a community of disenfranchised kids looking for kicks while trying to make a world they can call their own. An underground punk rock scene in a church basement flourishes until drug abuse and other mayhem derails their DIY dream.
The twin-guitar attack of songwriters and founders Glenn Mercer and Bill Million is the infectious sound of the group. Paired with driving drums and percussion, it has left an indelible mark on the landscape of rock and roll.

Despite having the legendary, rally-ready STi WRX in its lineup, Subaru just can't seem to shake its image as the car of the liberal, outdoorsy baby-boomer.
Indeed, when I mentioned to a friend that I had a new Subaru for the weekend, he blithely suggested I troll farmers' markets with it and maybe catch a rerun of An Inconvenient Truth.
Not in this Subie, buddy.
An hour later, my pal was lashed into the passenger seat of the BRZ's dark, fighter-jet interior, with a look of disbelief on his face as I shifted into fifth gear after reaching 80 mph with alarming speed.
"What's this thing cost? Sixty grand?" he finally mustered.
"Nah, it starts at 25," I shot back.
No, the 2-door, 6-speed, rear-drive BRZ is definitely not your parent's or your college professor's Subaru—but somehow, it's priced like it. Subaru's goal was to create the essential sports car: quick, agile, stable, and most importantly, fun. For that reason, they started with a high revving, 200-horse power boxer engine. Then they put that engine as low to the ground and as close to the center of the car as possible. Stand next to the car, and it's clear that they achieved that feat—the engine sits at shin height.
Besides giving the car exceptional pickup, that placement rendered a vehicle with an extremely low center of gravity, which translates to insane stability and handling. This baby hugs a turn like a wife welcoming her solider back from war.
Speed wise, it won't melt your face like a Porsche, but it's no slouch, either: 0-60 in 6.3 seconds, 14.9 second quarter mile. All that while raking in 34 miles to the gallon on the highway, which makes the car even more wallet-friendly.
Numbers aside, the BRZ's torquiness, lowness to the ground, and stiff suspension make it feel faster than it actually is. Time and time again, I'd accelerate at a green light, feeling like I was coming off the line aggressively, only to look over and see that I was neck and neck with the old guy driving the Buick in the lane over. Then the speedometer would confirm that I was going exactly the speed limit. In this car, 25 feels like 40. 60 feels like 80. It gives you the feeling that you're driving recklessly fast when you're not actually, well, driving recklessly fast. You decide if that's a good or bad thing.
On the outside, the car screams speed—it's long, low, and sleek. The lines almost seem inspired by Ferrari. Again, the BRZ fronts like a much more expensive vehicle.
The interior is supremely adequate. Buttons and triggers abound, and the six-speed clutch is short and stubby, making for quick, fluid shifts (Subaru also offers a six-speed automatic.) A 6.1-inch screen, which commands the center of the dashboard, features voice-activated GPS, Bluetooth Connectivity, and Satellite Radio, all standard. A couple more grand will buy you nicer trim in the interior, along with fog lights and a spoiler.
All that said, its bucket seats do seem to have been designed by chiropractors in dire need of business—within 30 minutes your lower back will be on fire. And the sound system and GPS need a tune-up: any speed over 70 required the volume of the car's Sirius/XM radio to be dialed all the way to the top, which still wasn't enough to really shake some glass as you'd want to do in a sports car. Talk-radio fan? Forget it … Finally, after dialing a location into the GPS and driving half way there, the unit hiccupped and rerouted me back to my previous destination. See how happy you'll be if that happens on a long trip.
Bottom line: The BRZ may not be as fast as other sport coupes out there, but it's close enough, and it sure gives off a legit vibe. Which is great when you consider the car's $25,500 starting price—ten grand cheaper than its nearest competitor, the Nissan 370Z. The BRZ is a great option for a guy who wants a pure sports car driving experience, yet doesn't really want to pay for it.

Men's Basketball Home
Home of the Spartan Men's Basketball Team. Come back to see all the latest scores and game summaries. Remember, if you can't make it to campus for the game, you can still watch the Spartans play at home live online!
T.J. Bower, the all-time leading scorer in Nodaway Valley history, has signed a National Letter of Intent to play for Southwestern. Bower's numbers are gaudy. He ranks number one all-time with 1,463 points and 245 steals. He is second on the all-time list with 627 career rebounds, and third in assists. Bower averaged 20.4 points per game in his senior season, but scoring is not what Head Coach Mike Holmes feels is his greatest asset.
Brendan Rockwell (pictured in center), a senior at Millard South High School in suburban Omaha, has signed a National Letter of Intent with Southwestern men's basketball. Rockwell, a 6'7" post, will bring additional rebounding and post presence to the Spartan's interior game next season. Head Coach Mike Holmes indicated that Rockwell really sold himself during his visit to campus. "I expected an adequate post player after seeing Brendan on film," Holmes said, "but when I met him and saw him play live, I concluded that he was twice the player I thought he was."
Rockwell brings a soft touch around the rim to the systems, as well as strength underneath. Holmes feels the team has now addressed major rebounding concerns heading into the 2014-15 campaign with the additions of Rockwell and 6'6" power man Kris Goettert. They will join Mataika Koyamainavure and Nikola Drobnjak in the post rotations next season.
Brenen Roebuck, a high-energy guard from Ralston, NE, signed a National Letter of Intent with Southwestern yesterday. Roebuck caught the eye of head coach Mike Holmes with his understanding of the game, especially on the defensive end of the floor, and his consistent hustle. Roebuck is a guard who can get to the basket, handle the ball, and hit the outside shot on occasion. Despite several verbal commitments, Roebuck is the first official signing for the Spartans. He will join eight incoming freshmen in this year's recruiting class.
Kris Goettert, a 6'6" post from McArthur High School in Florida, known for energy and rebounds, has given a verbal commitment to the Southwestern Men's Basketball program. Goettert, who has only been playing organized for three years, is still hitting his potential, but already brings a rebounding presence to the rotation for 2014-15. Goettert was selected for the Dade-Brevard County All-Star game, and was a member of a district champion this year at McArthur High School. Goettert plans to study physical therapy in college, and chose Southwestern because he feels it is different and fits his skill set well.
Head Coach Mike Holmes said, "Kris continues our recruiting theme this year of pursuing guys who have a motor that won't quit and who are competitive. I was really impressed when I watched him that he never stops competing for rebounds and loose balls. He also has a nice touch around the rim and can do things with both hands."

White Sox' Adam Dunn disputes Yahoo! story, says he's no quitter
BY DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN email@example.com July 23, 2011 12:29AM
Adam Dunn said he still enjoys coming to work every day. He had two singles in the Sox' win Friday. | Nam Y. Huh~AP
Updated: October 27, 2011 12:33AM
CLEVELAND — Adam Dunn hadn't seen the story, so he was stunned to hear about it when reporters followed up in the visitors clubhouse at Progressive Field on Friday.
''I did? What did I say?'' Dunn asked.
Dunn apparently told a Yahoo! Sports columnist he would walk away from baseball if he was no longer enjoying the game. He was quoted later in the story as saying he wouldn't do that.
''Yeah, no chance," Dunn repeated Friday.
He glanced up at the Cubs game on the clubhouse television in amazement, and not because the Cubs were beating the Astros.
''That's unbelievable," Dunn continued. "That's why you don't talk to those kind of people.
''Yeah, I guess I could chop up and write whatever I want and make it sound however I want. How I meant it was, if I have to continue and sit there and not have fun doing what I've done my whole life, I'll go home. But that's what I'm saying — I'm having too much fun.
''I enjoy playing the game, so I'm not doing it. It's stupid. I don't know what this [reporter] is trying to accomplish.''
Baseball's fun meter moved up about three notches for Dunn in the Sox' 3-0 victory against the Cleveland Indians. The big lefty had two sharp singles, scoring after the second one on Carlos Quentin's three-run homer, and he flied out to the warning track in right field. With Gavin Floyd pitching 72/3 scoreless
innings, the Sox claimed an important series-opening victory against a team they're chasing in the AL Central.
''I thought right before the [All-Star] break he was starting to look like himself,'' hitting coach Greg Walker said before the game.
Dunn was coming off a three-day rest, sitting out against two left-handers in Kansas City before an day off Thursday. On Monday, he had his sore left knee drained, but no thought was given to going on the disabled list.
Walker said there's nothing physically wrong with Dunn, who is batting .163. And there's nothing wrong with his bat speed, as some have suggested.
''There are times when his body is in the wrong position where you don't see as much but that's with everybody," Walker said. "If you're uphill or have a sweeping swing, your bat speed is going down. But for a man of his size, he has tremendous bat speed.''
After leaving two runners on base in each of the first three innings against Carlos Carrasco (8-8), the Sox exhaled after Quentin hit a 409-foot homer, his 20th of the year.
''I saw him pretty good the first three pitches, I knew he didn't want to get behind 3-1,'' Quentin said. ''Got a pitch middle in and put good wood on it. Gave my team a chance to win today. But Gavin was the story of the game.''
Floyd (8-9, 4.11) left in the eighth with runners at the corners and two out. Ezeqiel Carrera hit Matt Thornton's first pitch deep into left-center field, but left fielder Juan Pierre made a running catch on the warning track. Floyd gave up four hits, walked none and struck out five.
Thornton got two outs in the ninth and Sergio Santos got the last one for his 19th save.
Seeing Dunn just miss a homer and get two hits fired up the Sox dugout.
''These guys, they're part of your family,'' Walker said. ''The last thing you want to see is somebody you care about going through this. But he's going to figure it out and, when he does, he's going to carry us, contribute to the second half. And he's going to be here for a long time. The people of Chicago are going to see Adam Dunn. He's going to do some great things for this city.''
Through the horrific slump, Dunn has kept his head up.
"This isn't quite the easiest of things but it's still a game," Dunn said. "I still enjoy coming to the park every day and working.
"It felt good today. I was using my legs a lot more and stayed back on some pitches I would have been way out in front of missed. Hopefully I'll stay the course.''

You can attract a variety of birds to your yard by knowing what to feed wild birds. Find information...

Yes, you can keep your birdbath from freezing during the winter. Here's how.
In hardly any time, and with a little help from your feathered friends, you can make a lightweight bird kite. This tiny toy is attractive and also quite simple to assemble, because the body is plastic foam and each wing is a feather. It may not fly high, but will fly very well.
Start by cutting a polystyrene foam ball in half, and then carving one section into the shape of a bird's body (you can follow the design in the drawing or make your own, as long as it's symmetrical).
Next, stroll on out to the chicken coop (or duck pond) and gather some feathers. You'll need three or more tail plumes — all straight, none too long — and two fairly large wing feathers; get one from a left and one from a right wing, though (they'll curve in opposite directions), or your kite will be a whirly bird!
Now, insert the wing feathers into the foam body. The outer sides of the feathers should face forward, and they also need to tilt slightly upward so they'll catch the wind and lift the bird. Do not glue anything together yet, however. Instead, stick the tail feathers in place and give your kite a first test flight by dropping it from arm's length. If it spins, the wings need to be adjusted or maybe even replaced. If it takes a nose dive, add more tail feathers. When it floats smoothly, you've got it and can glue the feathers in position and decorate your bird.
The best string for your kite will be thread on a fairly full spool. With a needle, insert the thread completely through the body and knot it on the other side. Finding the correct point of entry is mostly a matter of trial and error. So needle up and take your first stab at dead center. If — after a little wing twisting — you find that the critter just doesn't fly right, you'll have to run the string through again at another point. (You may even need to connect a center thread from the wing tips. If so, make it four times the length of the wings and tie it, at its midpoint, to the main thread.)

The weight is around 6.39 pounds and it comes with latest Windows 8.1 and Intel HD graphics 4400 display.

It comes with 4th generation Intel Core i5 1.7GHz processor with 3MB cache. Not only that, but also 8GB DDR3 RAM and 1000GB Hard driver. What else we can expect from a laptop under 500 dollars?.
It comes with 15.6 inch screen size and Intel HD graphics 4400 where you will not feel anything wrong with the display quality and screen size since the display is having 64MB separate VGA memory. You will be getting Windows 8.1 and incredibly Acer claims that this laptop battery life is 7 hours.

Topic Outline
Persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of infancy (PHHI), previously called familial hyperinsulinism, congenital hyperinsulinemia, and primary islet cell hypertrophy (nesidioblastosis), is the most common cause of persistent hypoglycemia in infancy. PHHI is a genetic disorder with familial and sporadic forms, both of which are characterized by dysregulation of insulin secretion. Early recognition, diagnosis, and treatment are necessary to prevent or minimize neurologic damage from recurrent or prolonged episodes of hypoglycemia.
PHHI is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorder [1-4]. The clinical manifestations range from life-threatening hypoglycemia presenting on the first day of life to only mildly symptomatic hypoglycemia in a child or adolescent that may be difficult to identify. The response to medical and surgical therapy also varies [1-3].
The treatment and complications of PHHI will be presented here. The pathology, genetics, clinical features, and diagnosis of PHHI and a review on islet cell tumors (insulinomas), which have similar clinical and biochemical features to PPHI, are discussed in more detail separately. (See "Pathogenesis, clinical features, and diagnosis of persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of infancy" and "Insulinoma".)
The primary goal of therapy in persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of infancy (PHHI) is the prevention of acute neurologic symptoms (eg, seizure, lethargy, coma) and long-term sequelae (eg, epilepsy, cognitive deficits, microcephaly) of prolonged and/or recurrent hypoglycemia [1].
●The immediate goal is to increase and maintain the blood glucose concentration in a safe range (above 70 mg/dL [3.9 mmol/L]) via intravenous administration of glucose and/or enteral feeding.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Blu-ray Review
Nobody's perfect, but not everybody's a creep.
Reviewed by Martin Liebman, March 11, 2012
I misjudged just how sick you are.
The fallibility of man, individualism, dark secrets, misconceptions, and all sorts of prejudices all play central to the story within The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Director David Fincher's (The Social Network) film adaptation of the novel of the same name, written by the late Stieg Larsson and first published in 2005. The story is populated with any number of characters, characters who are different "in every way" on the surface and behind the scenes alike. The story demonstrates that there are façades and then there are people, the true creatures behind the piercings, the court decisions, the titles, the positions, the wealth. The story turns convention on its head, making a hero out of a misunderstood and mistreated "social outcast" and a promiscuous middle-aged and disgraced journalist who beds married women, younger women, and older women (the latter skipped over in the film) throughout the course of the story. It makes villains of clean-cut people who are upstanding members of their communities and people charged with the delicate task of caring for those deemed to be the less fortunate or the more asocial members of society. The only two characters who are neither evil nor in any way inwardly amoral or outwardly odd spend most, or all, of the film in a sickly, frail condition. Everything in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo seems upside down from convention, but that's why it works so well and speaks so loudly. Life and its secrets aren't defined by the superficial; rarely is the old axiom "what your see is what you get" adhered to in the story, and rarely does it hold true in the real world, away from the fiction of the printed page and the images of the cinema screen.
Journalist Mikael Blomkvist (Daniel Craig) has just been found guilty of libel, the case stemming from an unflattering article he penned in his magazine, Millennium, concerning Swedish business tycoon Hans-Erik Wennerström (Ulf Friberg). As he's packing up for an extensive leave of absence from the magazine -- choosing to leave it in the hands of co-owner and occasional lover Erika Berger (Robin Wright) -- he's contacted by Dirch Frode (Steven Berkoff), calling on behalf of his client Henrik Vanger (Christopher Plummer), a prominent Swedish industrialist. Blomkvist agrees to meet Vanger and is presented with a proposition: uncover the truth behind the mystery disappearance and presumed death of relative Harriet Vanger, who vanished without a trace forty years ago, a case that's obsessed Henrick ever since. His reward: a handsome salary and fresh dirt on Wennerström. Mikael agrees to look into the matter under the cover story that he's writing the Vanger family history. As Mikael digs into the case and uncovers long-buried truths, he comes to need a research assistant. Frode suggests the same person who investigated Mikael before he was offered the job, Lisbeth Salander (Rooney Mara), a pierced and tattooed twenty-something ward of the state who has been labeled a social outcast and a person incapable of handling her own affairs. In reality, she's an expert investigator and a gifted hacker who freelances at an investigative firm. Her own very personal dealings with untoward people gives her greater purpose in the Harriet case, and her dealings with Mikael allow her to experience emotions long buried underneath her hardened exterior and difficult interior. As the truth behind Harriet's disappearance takes shape and as Mikael and Lisbeth's relationship grows, they come under fire from those who would prefer the past be left buried and the present be left undisturbed.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo superbly mixes modern social commentary and classic murder mystery, and it does so in a way never really before attempted, using the mystery to demonstrate not the absolute goodness of heroes and the undeniable evil of villains, but to prove that life is a far more complicated challenge than the righteous condoning the unrighteous, the well-dressed and clean-cut hero piecing together the evidence and loudly proclaiming the unflappable findings in an authoritative voice and going home once the culprit is placed behind bars. No, this is a cutting-edge tale of 21st century anthropologic analysis where nothing is clear-cut or black-and-white, save for the cold, inhospitable Hedestad winter. The story is dark, disturbing, and deranged -- many of the characters, too -- but it's the comparative case study of who makes up the heroes and villains that's the draw. The picture speaks loudly against preconceived notions, blind judgments, and other classic prejudices as it draws largely unconventional heroes. Lisbeth's life is shaped by those who either see and accept the person behind the piercings, tattoos, and cold exterior or who refuse to get to know her because of her appearance, age, and gender and who take for gospel the story of her life as it's recorded in a folder penned by and for bureaucrats who treat her as a file number -- or worse -- and not as an evolving, self-sufficient individual, a state in which she exists, it would seem, largely because of the very same judgments of others and not exclusively by her own actions. The story necessarily forces its audience to look beyond the external, see past moral disagreements, and judge others on actions, not simply outdated "norms." Certainly neither Lisbeth nor Mikael travel the high road in all that they do, leaving much of the story in a soupy sort of moral equivalence dilemma, but then again, that seems to be the standard for life, for better or for worse, the story making gross exaggerations and working on extremes but certainly making its point, as sharp and yet eloquent as it may be.
Director David Fincher does a superb job of telling the story from both sides, structurally de-emphasizing the character study but making sure to accentuate it within the broader thematic undercurrents. The film potentially runs into trouble considering just how heavy it can be and usually is. It's so cold, so dark, so disgusting that it threatens to alienate segments of its audience almost by default, but that underlying theme of the dark underbelly and the dangers of distant character judgment necessitate a more difficult-to-process visual tone. The film rarely lightens up; it's thematically heavy and structurally gray, with its second half, physically, a little brighter as the mysteries and people become more clearly defined, but at its core The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo plays with an almost unapproachable style that leaves the audience uncomfortable both physically and emotionally. Fincher doesn't prepare his audience for what's to come, either; for as shocking as the story may be, the director plays it straight and shows no hesitancy in doing so. Only his bleak stylings portend what's to come, yet even the seediest details become somewhat lost in translation from page to screen. The story does work a little better with the added breathing room and deeper exposition afforded by the written word, but Fincher certainly paints clearly the dastardly characters and deeds, even when not explicitly following the book. The picture certainly hits all of the necessary highlights, but a read-through of Larson's novel definitely helps in piecing together the themes which the film translation does indeed bring into greater focus, seeing the characters -- namely Lisbeth, Mikael, Henrik Vanger, Martin Vanger, Palmgren, and Bjurman -- play into the broader theme of judging people on their outward attributes rather than their inward traits, of living rightly in all areas, wrongly behind-the-scenes, or as an individual who may not fit socially acceptable criteria but who stay within the confines of basic decency until and unless pushed to do otherwise.
The complex characters require equally complex and nuanced performances, which the cast provides with Ocar-caliber efficiency. Needless to say, the film is dominated by the presence of Rooney Mara and her uncanny and complex performance of Lisbeth Salander. Mara pulls off the superficialities of Lisbeth very well. Of course, it's much easier to paint a character from the outside-in rather than inside-out. It's simple to put on a few piercings, draw on a few tattoos, dye eyebrows, and cast a slender young actress willing to film several brutal scenes and bare her body at several junctures. It's another altogether to so painstakingly create a character on the inside, a character who wears the external oddities with a wounded confidence so well. Mara literally gets under Lisbeth's skin, playing the part in such a way that the personality meshes with the exterior. Her actions and decidedly understated emotions come naturally, and the audience will find the nuanced performance effectively saying much more than is vocalized or physically demonstrated on the screen. Mara opens up a closed-off character without compromising the integrity of who Lisbeth Salander is or the intent with which Larson seemed to draw her. It's one of the most complex and understated but effective performances in recent memory, certainly defined by far more than the immediately-evident external traits that shape, but don't define, the characters. Daniel Craig puts in a fine effort as Mikael Blomkvist, doing well in a role away from the standard action fare in which he normally appears. His character doesn't translate quite as well to the screen as does Lisbeth, largely because time constraints keep him from the sort of intimate development enjoyed in the novel, and partially because Mara's performance is just that good. Still, it's an effective performance but one that's certainly overshadowed by both Mara and Fincher's smooth and pinpoint direction, the latter largely defined by its subtleties. For example, the film's first half borders on black-and-white with one of the first real splashes of brightness and color coming when Mikael first dines with Martin in his wide-open glass-walled house, the relative glow and obvious transparency both making for interesting studies in cinema style as it shapes structure, defines expectations, and helps tell a story.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Blu-ray, Video Quality
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo features a gorgeous 1080p Blu-ray transfer, even if the film often appears washed out and gray. Fincher's HD video source appears flat and lifeless, which helps accentuate the literal frigid physical conditions, the figurative cold and long-buried past, and the complex and often not-as-they-seem characters. Despite its lack of brilliance and pronounced colors -- save, usually, for lively hues on the Mac desktop screen, Post-It notes, and other small details -- the image enjoys superb clarity and definition, the latter in particular at least insofar as the natural state of the image allows. Sony's transfer captures roughly-textured walls, skin details, and clothing lines with ease, particularly when the image thaws, winter turns to spring, and things necessarily liven up a bit. But even then, detail is only as good as it may be revealed within the confines and construct of the image. Black levels are critical, and appear deep and true and without signs of crush. The HD video source does produce some unsightly banding, which isn't cause for alarm but that does occasionally distract from the film and the transfer's many other positive attributes. The best thing to say about this Blu-ray transfer of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is that's its stable and true to the source. Certainly, it's not a movie to dazzle audiences with superficial HD brilliance, but it's a suitable vessel through which viewers may enjoy the more nuanced positives of a Blu-ray transfer that may not lend itself to traditional visual enjoyment but that is an example of a modern transfer sourced from modern techniques and that captures a very specific look with impeccable ease and near perfection.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Blu-ray, Audio Quality
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo features a compelling DTS-HD MA 5.1 lossless soundtrack. The track excels at both ends of the spectrum. Whether light musical notes that float about the soundstage with absolute precision or the more boisterous beats of a dance club number or the heavy riffs of hard Rock music, Sony's soundtrack brings all comers into the soundstage with commendable precision, clarity, and spacing, all of it practically transparent and seemingly eliminating the speakers in favor of a highly realistic sensation. Environmental sound effects play with the same sort of effect. Heavy falling rain, the echo of a slamming door, bone-chilling Hedestat Winter winds, and the busy din of the Millennium offices seamlessly transport the listener to the film's various locales, sucking the listening audience straight into the drama. Heavier sound effects are equally precise. Lisbeth's motorcycle zips about the listening area with natural precision. Several gunshots ring out with true-to-life accuracy as the shots linger in the air. The success of this track comes from its completeness, right down to ever-crisp and consistently center-focused dialogue. If there's a negative, it's that bass can be a little mushy, but it would seem that a little inconsistency and roughness was intended, particularly considering the accompanying visual qualities that aren't exactly about the most precise and natural imagery. All in all, this is another brilliant soundtrack from Sony.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Blu-ray, Special Features and Extras
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo contains a wealth of bonus materials. Disc two houses most of them, and the majority are broken into subsets beyond the main-page listings of Characters, On Location, Post Production, and Promotion. Most of the supplements contain extensive behind-the-scenes footage as the core narrative is shaped through interviews. Notably absent are any deleted or extended scenes. English subtitles are available with the supplements. Disc three contains a DVD copy of the film. An Ultraviolet digital copy is also included.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Blu-ray, Overall Score and Recommendation
One could probably write a dissertation about the layers, themes, and characters of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo with only cursory mention of the murder mystery plot. Indeed, David Fincher's latest masterpiece and the source novel both are complexly thought-provoking beyond the confines of a film review. The two compliment one another beautifully; though the film doesn't show everything from the book or follow it quite to the letter (in fact, the film wraps up the story with haste, which is its only real problem), Fincher's vision for the story stays pretty much true to the source. Seeing the people, watching them work, and witnessing their personal failures, positive traits, and places in the world gives an added layer to the story that nicely supplements the written word and helps tie together some of the ideas and themes that are fully explored in the book but that seem a little more obvious when watched rather than read. The movie is expertly crafted and the performances are superb, with Rooney Mara turning in one of the most complex and nuanced performances in quite a long time, a performance certainly deserving of more than an Oscar nomination. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo has the potential to disturb its audiences with its graphic dealings and decidedly adult-oriented themes, but it's one of the top must-see films of 2011. Sony's Blu-ray release of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo delivers stunning video, fantastic audio, and plenty of extras. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo earns my highest recommendation.
