::UPDATE:: SUPER CUPCAKE MODE! Arrow key moment, check points, and general nerfing all around. Enjoy! For those manly enough to miss the old version. I am going to keep a copy of it here for a little while.
"Dracula's castle has once again appeared, and Johnny Belmont knows that can only mean one thing! Dracula is back!!! And it's only a matter of time until the towns folk start acting all emo and goth. Drinking there coffee and smoking cigarets, reading poor me poetry to each other. And seeing how Breaking Bad is over now, Johnny really doesn't have anything else to do anyway, so it would seem a battle is fated."
Okay, so I wanted to create this game, but it quickly got out of control. So I decided to scale it down and rebuild it... and it got out of control again. ENJOY!

There are certain points in the game where I can't jump. I can do everything but jump. It happens randomly. Wasn't happening a day ago.
(Please read, because I have a feeling the creators won't care about this comment, and I would really appreciate someone taking 30 minutes to fix something.)
Like I said in the video comments for the video of Asslvania, the theme that loops at the end of the Asslvania video (not this game, the 'video!') plays during the credits perfectly. But the mp3 of this games theme, when you download it from newgrounds, has a moment at the beginning of the track where the music's volume is lower, and then peaks back to the normal volume for the rest of the song. This isn't 'wrong' in some music, but when something is supposed to loop, it makes a terribly notable mess up in the song, and it bothers my ears. I would reeeeeally like if you guys would re-upload a version of the theme's mp3 where the entire track has the same volume.
Why didn't you make an entire 3 minute version of the song? If you were going to just make a 1 minute loop, then it should have at least all been the same volume. It's so noticeable it makes it un-enjoyable for me. PLEASE upload a version of the Asslvania theme that loops, without noticeable differences in volume from the beginning of the track to the end, so it loops properly.
Other than my complaint about the song upload (which didn't affect my rating of this game) I LOVE IT! 100 out of 100. A 'perfect game' does not mean it is part of the impossible standards of a hypothetical idiot who thinks 'perfection' cannot be achieved in reality. A "perfect game" is one without faults, like glitches, bad control/handling, has good replay value, and music. Basically, the elements in-which it was meant for are properly utilized to the fullest of their NEED for the package to be 'complete.'
By the logic of a person who knows what it means to develop a video game, THIS IS A PERFECT GAME. I love it!
Love the game, i gotta say. Music's phenomenal, graphics are comedic, voice acting is awesome. Though my only complaint is the first green ghost. Kinda a dick move. He moves to fast to be spawning right next to you and with the big room you can fall and the spinning dick pillars it's pretty hard to get past. Other than that, it's a great game with a great sense of humor.
-2 stars for making the game easier.
You have done what all game developers in today's time seem to have done. Make games ridiculously easy so that everyone can beat them.
I thought it was funny and a fun game, but I disagree with you making it easier.
Haha, there is still the original unaltered version in the description. Personally I think the original version is very easy too. The challenge is meant to be real mode. Thanks for the review :)

Shaft (1971) Review
He's one bad-ass mutha -- shut yo mouth! Shaft is, was, and will forever remain the definitive blaxpoitation film, utterly and without question. From the Isaac Hayes composed and performed soundtrack (and Oscar winning, mind you) to Richard Roundtree as the titular bad-ass to the crazy plot (Shaft takes down "Bumpy" and his black crime mob), Shaft is nothing short of a classic. Be sure to see it with a date.

- Abstract
- Cited By
This study examines the content of European nationality stereotypes held by adolescents from six Central and Eastern European countries and in-group favouritism on the dimensions underlying these nationality stereotypes. It was found that the content of nationality stereotypes reflects a competence and a morality dimension, and that each dimension is related to perceived structural or relational features of nation states. The attribution of competence-related traits to out-group nationalities is strongly related to the perceived economic power of the nation states and the attribution of morality-related traits to the size of the nation states, as well as perceived conflicts of interests, nationalism and economic power. The participants did not blindly favour their in-group over all foreign nationalities on competence or morality. The tendency to perceive Western European nationalities as more competent than the in-group reflects a social reality constraint due to lower economic status. Furthermore, in-group favouritism on competence decreased as a function of the economic status and size of out-groups, while ingroup favouritism on morality increased as a function of economic status and size of out-groups. These results are interpreted in terms of self-categorization theory and social identity theory.

No 57: Monkey
campaignlive.co.uk, Thursday, 14 March 2013 08:00AM
Things you need to know
- Monkey is voiced by Ben Miller, one half of the comedy double act Armstrong and Miller with Alexander Armstrong.
- A Monkey soft toy, put up for auction at a Nabs boxing night in 2002, resulted in a three-way bidding war. The winner was Garry Lace, who stumped up £3,500.
- In 2003, the BBC commissioned a variety show hosted by Monkey featuring Dawn French and the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain. A pilot was filmed but never aired.
He's known simply as Monkey, although he isn't a real primate. Just an animated knitted sock that can stake one of the oddest claims to a place in adland's annals.
What's remarkable is that Monkey is probably the only character in modern advertising history to have been used to promote one brand then reused to market another.
A creation of Jim Henson's Creature Shop, Monkey was brought to the screen by Mother to rebrand the then ONdigital, a pay-TV service, as ITV Digital. A series of TV spots that paired Monkey with Al, played by Johnny Vegas, proved highly popular. So much so that ITV Digital purchasers were sent a soft-toy Monkey when they took out a subscription.
However, Monkey was arguably the only successful thing about ITV Digital, which closed in March 2002. Monkey, though, not only survived but thrived. Demand for promotional Monkey toys was so high – and supplies so short – that one sold for £150 at the ITV Digital bankruptcy auction.
Meanwhile, a lively trade grew in Monkey knitting patterns. But nobody could capitalise on the character because of a legal dispute between Mother and ITV Digital over the rights to him.
It was eventually resolved when they donated his intellectual property rights to Comic Relief. In January 2007, Mother brought back Monkey and Vegas to launch new advertising for PG Tips. It was seen as a possible answer to PG Tips' search for a replacement to its chimps advertising, which began in 1956 but ended in 2002.
PG Tips marketers feared using Monkey and Vegas due to their previous associations with another brand. They need not have worried: the brand currently has almost 28 per cent of the £606 million UK tea market – its best performance in ten years.

Bolen, Morris, 11]., assignor to The Northwestern Corporation, Morris, 11]., a corporation of Illinois Filed July 18, 1967, Ser. No. 654,132 U.S. Cl. 221154 Int. Cl. G07f 9/06 9 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates generally to merchandise vending machines and to vending machines mounted on the shelves of stands with coin boxes removably positioned beneath said shelves, such as disclosed in applicants pending patent application entitled, Vending Machine Assembly Including a Stand With a Coin Box Therein, Ser. No. 571,751, filed Aug. 11, 1966, now Patent No. 3,390,753. More particularly, the invention relates to improvements in said cash boxes in which the cash box is provided with a cover which may be locked thereon but which has slots for admitting coins therethrough from the vending machines. Means is provided for automatically closing the coin slots as the coin box is removed from the vending machine or the stand. Heretofore, the vending machine operator or serviceman who serviced the machines on location necessarily had access to the interior of the coin or cash box of the machine and to the coin contents thereof. Misappropriation, theft and loss of collected coins by such servicemen employees and/or others was not uncommon. However, with the introduction of the vending machine assemblies with removable coin boxes such as disclosed in applicants above-mentioned pending patent application, it was no longer essential or necessary for the servicmen to have access to the coins of the coin box. The filled coin boxes could be entirely removed from the machine or stand and an empty cash box substituted for the filled one. However, it was obvious that unless the cash boxes were provided with covers the removal of which could be independently controlled, i.e., locked or unlocked, the problem could not be solved. Furthermore, it was necessary to provide access means to the interior of the boxes for the coins from the vending machines. Moreover, it was necessary to afford a structure which would provide independent means for controlling said coin access means in order to safeguard against unauthorized removal of coins from the cash box through said access means. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The cash box of this invention comprises a container of suitable configuration, size and construction adapted to be removably positioned in a vending machine or in a stand for a vending machine so that the coins from the coin chute of the vending machine may be deposited in said coin box. In the embodiment chosen for illustration, the coin box is of the type for use with vending machines mounted on the shelves of stands of the type disclosed in my aforementioned co-pending patent application. The box may be slidably positioned beneath the shelf of the stand on which shelf the vending machines are mounted. The box is provided with a removable cover which may be locked in position and the means for unlocking said cover may be retained by the owner of the machines or the employee in charge of coin control at a central location. The cover is provided with slots positioned in alignment with the lower end of the coin chute of the vending machines to enable the coins from the machines to drop through the slots into the cash box. Means for blocking or closing said coin slots is provided on said cover, said means being controlled by actuating means likewise contained or mounted on said cover. The actuating means is in turn controlled by trigger mechanisms mounted in the machine or in the vending machine stand shelf so that removal of the box from the stand or machine automatically enables the triggering mechanism to cooperate with the actuating mechanism to release the locking means thereby closing the coin slots. Hence the coin box which the serviceman removes from the machine or stand is in a completely closed and locked condition. The Serviceman then replaces the removed box by an empty box in which the coin slot locking means has been pre-set in open position prior to said cover having been locked on the box preferably at the central location by the coin control employee or the machine owner. The filled coin box is then transported by the serviceman employee to the oflice or central location where the coin control employee may unlock the cover and remove the coins from the box. Means for locking the cash box to the stand or the vending machine is incorporated in the box, the key or control means of which may be in the possession of the service operator. It is therefore an important object of this invention to provide an automatic self-locking cash box for vending machines and vending machine stands. Another important object is to afford a cash box having means for admitting coins thereto but designed so that access to the interior of the box may be controlled by someone other than the vending machine service employee. Still another object of this invention is to provide a cash box and vending machine or vending machine stand in which the triggering mechanism for closing the coin access means of the cash box is incorporated in the machine or stand. Still a further object is to afford a cash box with a removable cover having separate means for locking the cash box in operative position and separate means for locking the cover on the cash box. Yet a further object is to provide means in the cover adapted to cooperate with the triggering means for releasing or actuating the coin access closing means. With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention'consists of certain novel features of construction, arrangement and a combination of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and particularly pointed out in the appended claims, it being understood that various changes in the form, proportion, size and minor details of the structure may be made without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS For the purpose of facilitating an understanding of my invention, I have illustrated in the accompanying drawings a preferred embodiment thereof, from an in spection of which, when considered in connection with the following description, my invention, its mode of construction, assembly and operation, and many of its advantages should be readily understood and appreciated. Referring to the drawings in which the same characters of reference are employed to indicate corresponding or similar parts throughout the several figures of the drawings: FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a coin box embodying the principles of my invention mounted beneath a pair of vending machines in turn mounted on a stand, a fragmentary portion of which is shown and showing in dotted outline the coin box being removed therefrom; FIG. 2 is a top plan view of the shelf of the stand of FIG. 1 with the coin box mounted thereunder and showing in dotted fragmentary outline the coin box being removed therefrom in the direction shown by the arrows; FIG. 3 is an end view taken on the plane of line 33 in FIG. 2 of the drawings and viewed in the direction indicated; FIG. 4 is a bottom view of the cover of the coin box showing the coin slot blocking mechanism held in fully open position by the actuating mechanism; FIG. 5 is a view similar to FIG. 4 but showing the slot blocking mechanism cocked or preset preliminary to being triggered for closing the coin slots; FIG. 6 is a view similar to FIGS. 4 and 5 but showing the coin slot blocking member in fully closed position with the actuating mechanism in operative position after it had been triggered and released; FIG. 7 is an exploded partially sectional and partially end view of the vending machine stand shelf and coin box assembly showing in FIG. 7a the bottom portion of the vending machine with the coin chute therein, in FIG. 7b the vending machine stand shelf, in FIG. 70 the coin box cover in section taken on the plane of line 70-70 in FIG. 4 of the drawings, and in FIG. 7d the coin box in section taken on the plane of line 7d7d in FIG. 4 of the drawings; FIG. 8 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view showing a detail of construction; FIG. 9 is a fragmentary sectional view showing another detail of construction; and FIG. 10 is a fragmentary sectional view, taken on the plane of line 1010 in FIG. 2 of the drawings, showing a detail of construction. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION In FIG. 1 of the drawings, reference numeral 10 indicates generally a pair of coin controlled bulk vending machines mounted on a stand or pedestal, a fragmentary portion of which is identified generally by reference numeral 14 and which pedestal may be of the type disclosed in my aforementioned co-pending patent application. Stand 14 includes a support column 15 and a shelf 16 mounted thereon. The shelf 16 may be formed with a bracket member 17 of triangular configuration extending rearwardly therefrom. The bracket member 17 may be formed with a tubular collar 18 opening downwardly therefrom and internally threaded so that it may be readily mounted on the top of column 15. A set screw 19 may be provided to lock the shelf in place. Shelf 16 is formed with a continuous depending flange 16 encircling the marginal edges thereof. One of the end wall flanges 16' is formed with a plurality of spacedapartrecesses or cutouts 16" opening to the bottom edge thereof. The function of these cutouts will be disclosed as the description proceeds. As in the aforementioned co-pending patent application, the shelf 16 is provided with a pair of rectangularshaped upstanding rims 20, 20 adapted to receive thereon in encircling relationship the bottom marginal edges of pedestals 21 of the vending machines 12. The areas of the shelf 16 circumscribed by the rectangular or square shaped rims 20 are substantially open except for a plurality of cross arms or support members such as 22, one of which 23 is obliquely or angularly disposed with relation to the pair of cross arms 22 positioned in alignment. This then provides an open space 24 of somewhat larger area than the other spaces 25 defined by the various cross arms 22. The purpose of this space will become apparent as the description proceeds. Directing attention to FIG. 7a which illustrates the pedestal 21 of the vending machine 12, it will be noted that a coin chute 25 is positioned therein with its bottom end 26 depending below the bottom edge of the pedestal 21. Thus the bottom end 26 of the coin chute 25 extends down through the open space 24 until it almost abuts a coin slot 27 formed in a coin box cover indicated generally by reference numeral 28. The cover 28 is designed to lock on and close the top or open end of a cash box indicated generally by reference numeral 30. The coin box 30 is of generally rectangular crosssection as defined by side walls 31, 31, integrally formed bottom wall 32 and a pair of end walls 33 and 34. The top marginal edges of the side walls 31 may be outwardly flanged as at 34' (see FIG. 7a). The purpose of this will become apparent as the description proceeds. Coin box end wall 33 is provided with means indicated generally by reference numeral 35 for locking the box in position under the shelf 16 (see FIG. 10), and end wall 34 is provided with means indicated generally by reference numeral 36 for locking the cover 38 onto the box 30 (see FIGS. 7d and 9). Both locking means are independent one of the other and will be disclosed in greater detail as the description proceeds. Turning now to the novel cash box co ver 28 and the triggering, actuating and lock-out mechanisms associated therewith, attention is directed to FIGS. 4 through 8 inelusive. The lid or cover 28 comprises the top wall 37 the marginal edges of which are bent perpendicularly downward to form flanges 38', said flanges encircling the top wall 37. The coin slots 27 are formed in spaced relationship in the top wall 37 and positioned so that when the coin box is in operative position, said slots are positioned one directly under each of the coin chutes 25 of each vending machine 12. It shouldbe noted that when the cover 28 is locked ont'othe cash box 30 by the locking means 36 the only access to the interior of the box is through the coin slots 27.-To 'insure automatic closing or lock-out of these slots at all times when the box itself is not in operative position beneath the vending machine or stand, novel lockout means is provided which will now be described in detail. The lock-out means comprises a lock-out plate or strip 38 slidably mounted to the under surface of the top wall 37 by means of brackets 3939, the inner marginal edges 4040 of which are struck from and bent outwardly from the brackets 39 so as to support the marginal edges of the lock-out strip 38 in sliding relationship. A pair of coil springs 40-40 are mounted and positioned to maintain the lock-out strip in a normally coin slot blocking relationship as shown in FIG. 6 of the drawings. To insure the normal coin slot lock-out positioning of the lock-out strip 38, a lock-out leaf spring 41 is afforded. Said leaf spring 41 has one end 42 affixed to the inner surface of the cover 37 and has an intermediate portion bent inwardly in a direction toward the top wall 37 so as to afford a vertical surface or segment 44 (FIGS. 7d and 8). Normally this vertical segment 44 abuts the adjacent edge 45, thereby maintaining the plate 38 in the lock-out position shown in FIG. 5 of the drawings. In order to permit the plate 38 to be moved to a position unblocking the coin slots 27, the leaf spring must be bent away from the plate 38 to disengage the vertical segment 44 from abutting the edge 45 of the plate, as shown in FIGS. 7c and 8. To maintain the lock-out plate 38 in a position whereby the coin slots 27 are open or unobstructed (see FIGS. 4 and 5), a novel locking or actuating mechanism is provided. This mechanism comprises a cooperating cam and pawl arrangement indicated generally by reference numeral 46 and includes a pair of lock-out pawls or hooklike members 47, 48 adapted to cooperate with a cam 48. Pawls 47, 48 are pivotally connected to the lock-out plate 38 as at 49, 50, it being noted in FIGS. 4, 5 and 6 that pivot 50 is positioned closer to plate edge 45 than is pivot 49. Consequently, since the pawls are of equal length, the hook end 51 of pawl 47 is positioned below the plane of hook end 52 of pawl 48 (see FIGS. 4, 5 and 6). The reason therefor will become apparent as the description proceeds. Intermediate the length of the hooks 47, 48 the same are joined together by a coil spring 53 (see FIGS. 4, 5 and 6 of the drawings). The cam 48 is pivotally mounted to the plate 37 by a centrally positioned pivot member 54. The portion of the cam 49 adjacent the pawl 47, 48 is formed with two indentations 55 and 56 respectively, each opening to opposite sides of the pawl with indentation 55 being positioned further from the outer end of the cam than indentation 56. The hook ends 51, 52 of the pawls 47 and 48 are adapted to cooperate with the indentation 55, 56 to hold the lock-out plate 38 in unobstructing positions as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 of the drawings. When hook end 51 is in operative position in indentation 55, it will be noted that the lock-out plate 38 is positioned further from the coin slots 27 than when the opposite hook end 52 is in operative position in the indentation 56. Again the purpose thereof will become apparent as the description proceeds. The cam 48 is maintained in a normally upright position, the plane of which is perpendicular to the major axis of the plate 38, by a pair of coil springs 57, 58 disposed in angular relationship one to the other and connecting the cam, at a point 58 below the pivot point 54, to the edge of the cover 37 as shown in the several figures of the drawings. The cover top wall 37 is formed with an arcuate slot 59 positioned above the cam 48' as shown in FIGS. 2, 4, 5 and 6 of the drawings. Through this slot protrudes a lug 60 formed or connected to the cam 48. It will likewise be noted in FIGS. 2 and 4-6 of the drawings that a straight slot 61 is also formed and spaced apart but in aligned position with the slot 59 in the cover top wall 37. Through this slot 61 another lug 62 protrudes, this lug being mounted on the lockout plate 38. Lugs 60 and 62 respectively are adapted to cooperate with triggering members or lugs 63 and 64 respectively, which depend in aligned positions from the shelf 16 (see FIG. 7b), when the cash box with the lugs 60 and 62 protruding therefrom is slid into operative position in the shelf 16 and when the same is removed therefrom in the direction of the arrows shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 of the drawings. The operation of the triggering and lockout mechanism will subsequently be disclosed in greater detail. As was previously indicated, separate locking mechanisms are provided for locking the cover to close the cash box 30 and to lock the cash box itself in position beneath the vending machine or the shelf 16 on which it is supported. Referring to FIGS. 7d and 9 of the drawings, it will be noted that the cover locking mechanism 36 comprises a slotted lug 65 mounted on a rotatable shaft 66 channeled through the end wall 34 and terminating on the outside thereof in a locking member 67 which may be controlled by a key (not shown). The lug 65 is slotted as at 68 so that when the same is rotated or turned by the key to the upright position shown in FIG. 9, the slot embraces the edge of a horizontal leg 68 of a bracket 69. The bracket is mounted on the flange 38' of the top wall 28 so that when the slotted lug 65 is moved into upright operative position and engages the bracket leg 68, the top cover is securely locked on the coin box 30. The opposite end of the cover 28 is formed with a rectangular opening or cutout 70 and aflixed thereto or integrally formed therewith and depending therefrom, is a housing 71 having a wall 72, bottom wall 73 and a pair of end walls 74. These walls define an enclosure open to the top and one end of the cover plate. However, when the cover is operatively positioned, the end wall 33 of the box effectively closes the open end of the enclosure leaving only the opening 70 at the top thereof. The enclosure 75 is adapted to house therein the means 35 for locking the box in operative position in the stand. Simultaneously the walls 72, 73 and 74 complete the closure of the coin box while at the same time affording access for the locking means to the enclosure 75 through the top opening 70. The box locking means 35 comprises a tongue 76 mounted on a rotatable shaft 77 positioned through a locking tumbler 78 journalled through the cash box end wall 33 and terminating in an outer boss 79 having a keyhole formed therein adapted to receive a key 80. The locking tongue 76 may be rotated in and out of operative position by said key. Thus, the tongue 76 may be rotated from a horizontal position to a vertical plane after the cash box has been moved into operative position. When positioned in said vertical plane, the outer end of the tongue abuts the depending flange 16 of the shelf 16, thereby locking the cash box in immovable position on the stand. The cash box 30 may be slidably supported beneath the shelf 16 by any suitable means but, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 7 of the drawings, comprises a pair of channels or brackets 81, 81 of inverted L-shaped cross-section mounted to the inside of the depending flange 16' with their horizontal legs 82, 82 in spaced relationship with the bottom of the shelf 16. The cash box 30 is slid into position by first inserting the ends of the side wall flanges 34' in the space between the bracket leg 82 and the bottom of the shelf 16 so that the cash box is supported by the flanges 34 and the bracket 82. It should further be noted that as the cash box is slid into position beneath the shelf 16, the recesses 16" formed in the depending end flange 16 of the shelf permit the upwardly protruding lugs 60 and 62 to pass therethrough without obstruction. OPERATION The empty cash box is furnished to the Serviceman or operator by the vending machine owner or the coin-control employee at the central oflice or service location of the owner. The cash box as supplied to the employee has the cover 28 locked thereon and the key of the lock 36 is retained by the owner or coin-control employee. However, prior to locking the cover in position, the lockout plate 38 is set in the position shown in FIG. 4 of the drawings with the lockout pawl 47 engaged in the recess 55 of the cam 48'. When the service operator reaches the location of the stand 14, he inserts the cash box endwise so that the cash box flanges 34 are inserted with the flanges 34' supported by the bracket 81. The box is pushed or slid in a direction opposite to that shown by the arrow in FIG. 1. As the cash box slides into position, the lug 60 mounted on the cam 48' is brought into engagement with the depending triggering lug 64. This causes the cam 48' to rotate in an arcuate path, moving the recess 55 of the cam so that the hook 51 of the lockout pawl 47 is disengaged therefrom. This, of course, releases the lockout plate 38 so that the springs 40 draw the same toward closure of the coin slots 27. However, before the upper edge of the plate 38 reaches the coin slots 27, the recess 56 moves into engagement with the hook 52 of the other pawl 48, thereby cocking the lockout plate 38 in the position shown in FIG. with the coin slots 27 remaining unobstructed or open. The rotation of the cam 48 is accomplished against the action of the spring 58 so that as soon as the box has moved sufficiently for the lug 60 to have passed the position of the trigger lug 64, the cam 48' is returned to its upright position. The coin box now having passed the triggering lugs 63 and 64, the box continues to slide until it reaches the full operative position with the end wall 34 in abutment with the end portion of the depending flange 16' of the shelf 16. In this position the coin slots 27 are positioned directly below, and in alignment with, the bottom ends 26 of the vending machine coin chutes 25. The key 80 is then used in the lock 35 to rotate the tongue 26 into engagement with the depending flange 16' of the shelf, thereby locking the box in position under the shelf. When it is desired to remove the cash box, the key 80 is inserted into the lock 35, the tongue 76 is rotated thereby to a horizontal position disengaging the same from the shelf flange 16 so that the box may be pulled out in the direction indicated by arrows in FIGS. 1 and 2 of the drawings. When it is pulled out sufficiently so that the lug 60 is brought into engagement with the triggering lug 64, cam 48 is again rotated arcuately but this time in the opposite direction and against the action of the spring 57. This time the recess 56 of the cam 48' is rotated out of engagement with the hook end 52 of the pawl 48, thereby completely releasing the lockout plate 38 so that the springs 40 move the plate into the position shown in FIG. 6 of the drawings and thereby effectively locking or closing the coin slots 27. Thus, by the time the cash box 30 is removed from the stand, the coin slots are closed. They cannot be reopened, except by removal of the cover, by virtue of the bottom edge of the lockout plate engaging the vertical segment 44 of the release spring 41. 'It should be noted in FIG. 8 of the drawings that a portion of the lockout plate 38 is formed so that the same is spaced from the cover top wall 37 sufliciently so that a firm immovable engagement between the lockout plate 45 and the vertical segment of the release spring 41 is insured. The filled cash box may then be transported to the coin-control operator who has retained the key to the cover lock 67. To facilitate transportation, a carrying handle such as 84 may be pivotally mounted on the side 31 of the cash box 30. From the foregoing description, it should be apparent that I have provided a novel automatic self-locking cash box for vending machines which enables the machine to be serviced without affording access to the contents of the cash box to the serviceman but which provides access for coins to drop into the cash box from the coin chutes of the vending machines. These coin access means, however, are automatically closed as the cash box is being removed from operative position beneath the vending machines and/ or the shelves of the stands on which they may be mounted.

Heavy manufacturing, transportation and banking companies are gaining confidence they've put the worst of the downturn behind them, but REITs aren't ready to draw that conclusion. The comments offered by publicly traded REITs through the earnings season suggest executives expect more tough challenges. SL Green Realty Corp. said it doesn't expect commercial real estate rents to start heading up before the second half of next year. At Boston Properties, Chairman and co-founder Mort Zuckerman offered a similarly grim view. "I don't think we're out of the credit crunch," he said.

My brother in law is about to replace his A3 Sport 3.2 DSG and his been eyeing up the S3 so he asked me to come along. We booked a double test drive so that we both can get a go. Here is We both love the new front bumper on the S3. It really makes it stand out next to the Sport and S-line. We both agreed the S3 Side skirts are way too under styled and that the rear skirt was a little odd looking. We where both shocked to hear the engine on start up resembles a TDi, the tappets are really load and you get a Diesel like GERRRRR when pulling away. First up was my Brother in law, now you need to bear in mind his been driving a DSG for the last 3 years so comparing a Manual 2.0T to a DSG 3.2 V6 was going to be hard. First impressions where 'Oh Hello!' you can definitely feel the take off once the turbo has spooled up we both had a smile on our faces. He drove it softly around town traffic to simulate every day driving. More then anything he started to notice the difference DSG makes to a relaxing drive around town. (90% of his driving is around central London) Once we got to the dual carriageway he started to open it up. We both thought the pull in the higher gears was very good, however no different to the V6 in performance. Once on the motorway we where able to test how much speed we could rack on and again it performed pretty much like a V6. Off at a service station, around the quick twisty bends and around abouts and back onto the motor way for the journey back to the dealership. This time driven like he normally does his car (quickly). We swap over and its my go. My initial thought was, where is the power? Oh there you are I thought to myself once I floored it more. Then it was WOW these brakes are **** as I fump a speed bump too quickly. (Realising the brakes haven't been bedded in). First set of lights and I leave it in 3rd gear until I stop like I normally do. I had to press the clutch down much sooner then I would normally. Pulling away off the lights went like this. Select gear,2.5kRPM, gas and take off. Um No more like select gear,2.5kRPM, gas and 2secs I'm just going to make a cup of tea before I decide to overtake that van that has just got a car length in front of me. We stop at a next set of lights 100 meters down the road and I think to my self right the power delivery is obviously different to a V6 lets try something else. Much higher revs this time and take off was stonking. Second gear acceleration is REALLY REALLY fun much better then in the V6 which dies out towards the higher revs. Now on the dual carriageway I tested to see what happens when you floor it in 4th. Again nothing happens for just under 2 secs and then the sledge hammer comes. I didn't go on the motorway instead opted to take the back roads back to the dealership to test the handling out. Without question the S3 feels lighter up front, you don't have to compensate for the weight when your doing a sharp turn into a side road, you just point and it turns. I was very impressed with the transformation. The S3 had the same 20 Spoke wheels as on my car and the suspension is lowered about the same as an S-Line but the dampers definitely felt harsher as the S3 wasn't as forgiving on speed bumps I drive over all the time in my car. The Verdict. Hands down the S3 is a nice package, it fun, quick, extremely well priced compared to the rest of the A3 range, should hold its value batter then anything else in the range and should be pretty rare as well. If you are a 3.2 owner you really don't need to worry, the smooth delivery of the v6 power is in a different league to the 2.0T and the power is much more usage in every day driving. DSG lovers stay where you are as i think you will regret it in the long run. And this is just what my brother-in-law has done. So he has decided to get the 3.2 DSG S-Line. This turned out to be a nightmare! Its impossible to spec up a S-line the way you want. You cant pick half Alcantara seats with out paying £2.2k extra on the S-line. These are a no cost option on the S3! And once you fully load up the options the car comes in at well over £2k more then a identicly spcced S3! And thats not including the Alcantara seats upgrade on the S-line!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Audi are giving the S3 away! Which ever way you look at it its a total no brainer to go for the S3, he almost feels bulled into changing his mind, his sleeping on it, but I think he will. What are Audi up to?
Remember you will get an easy £2k off the 3.2, whereas the S3 will be harder to obtain be tougher to get cheaper. So the pricing will be roughly the same
This actually annoyed the hell out of me when I ordered as I had the Alcantara/Leather seats on my old SE and couldn't have them on the S-Line. They're available on EVERYTHING bar the S-Line - the base, SE, Sport & S3. Err, wtf!?
MJ Interiors can do you a full retrim (there a lot of PVC in VAG leather interiors, only the seat faces are leather) for circ £1300. Or change the centres to alcantara. The leather is much better quality than factory leather and you can have any colour and any colour stitching. Embosed or emboided logo. www.mjinteriors.co.uk I've also driven the 3,2 A3. Flat out very little in it between it and an S3. However the big difference is PUNCH. Driving normal in 4th or 5th gear and boot it the S3 will leave the 3,2 standing and cog swopping. S3 does sound rough next to that glorious V6. Swings and roundabouts.
Had my third S3 test drive yesterday, this time alone. The engine is fairly well broken-in now, with over 2,000 miles... While throttle response is not as good, in-boost acceleration is much better than with the 3.2. There are 100 fewer pounds on the heavy end and that is definitely noticeable, but I think a lot of the difference in "feel" can be atributed to power steering levels (mine is on 3, the S3's was on 6), different alignment, damper/spring/arb settings. For an all-around car, I think Quattro GmbH got it spot-on. Sad thing about the noise though (and this particular model had already developed the 2.0TFSI's "woodpecker" problem!). Getting back in my 3.2 I once again fell in love with the VR6's sound, low-end grunt, and linear power delivery...
The S3 is way lower than the S line! 25mm to be exact according to the factory specs. What mileage did the test car have on? Mine has just gone over 2k and it flys now compared to 500 ago. I quite like the skirts especially when you stand at the front of the car and lean left or right to look down the side of the car, the way they bulge out then bend back to the rear wheel arch looks good. Admittedly they look straight when the car is viewed from the side but they are more than enough to make the car look different to other versions like the front bumper.
S3 - rare? i don't think so... read these forums, since the S3 announcement a few months back all that i've seen on here is, S3 on order, heres my S3, test drove an S3, got my S3, S3 is at the dealers, picked up my S3, drove my mates S3, found this cheap S3 demo, blah blah blah..... sorry but that doesn't sound like a rare car to me.... think 1.6 sports will be rarer than S3s shortly! (albeit for the simple reason they are ****!)
I never said that. I only called the S3 fun and I never said the 3.2 is as quick , just that the in gear performance was similar at high speed. By you being nasty I can only assume that you have realised you may have made a mistake. You have even said it yourself. Quote: Sprint Blue S3 (i must be mad) on 56 plate
If the S3 was so much better then a 3.2 I would go and upgraded. Notice how i say upgrade as I see a S3 a model up to the 3.2! I'm just saying if you already have a 3.2 or if you love DSG stick with it as you are not missing out on much. I personally am going to hold out for a RS3 which is looking more and more likely with the current talk of a TT RS in the pipe line. And if that doesn't materials in the next couple of years a RS4 will find a new home on my drive.
Chris, the 2.0T frequently develops a rather benign fault: a fuel line that runs near the firewall works itself loose, and with each impulse of the high-pressure secondary FSI pump "pecks" against the firewall. It sounds JUST like a woodpecker, which along with the TFSI's moped noise makes for quite the comical concert :-(
I was going to say the S-Line is not as low as the S3! Steve184 there are so many S3's about on this site because its Audi Sport ie a enthusiasts site, hence people who have one come here and chat. I haven't seen any on the road yet apart from the odd Audi dealer demo car doing a test drive and I'm on the road 10hrs a day.
The must be mad reference was due to buying a 56 plate in Jan/Feb and not waiting until 07 plate comes out. The reason I did it was because the dealer made me an unrefusable offer on my 3.2 which would have been considerably less if I waited until March. DSG - great, not for performance driving though. Great round town as you say. Not missing out on an S3 is you already have a DSG and 3.2? I don't agree with that. The R32 is/was a better prospect than the Audi 3.2. S3 beats them all... Cheaper to fuel too..
I have seen 2 S3's one White and one Yellow, ofc this is going to be a rare car, its one of the most expensive hot hatchback cars around, I agree with you Jam
I have driven the 3.2 a fair few times, and I previously owned an R32 and as far as noise and low down torque your comments are fair enough. I am afraid you have to drive a 2.0T very different to a 3.2V6, I can honestly say to drive and live with day to day the S3 is all round much better, performance, fuelling and handling (not so heavy upfront)
I've only seen one and that was Mr Klauster on the other side of a dual carriageway with his foot down......
I think there is a UK allocation of 1200 cars for 2007. So there shouldn't be too many around. But I could be wrong.
Don't understand that statement ! My 2.0T is as smooth as silk at all times. It is as smooth and refined as the 2.4 V6 I owned a few years ago.
Your reg plate is a bit hard to miss. Wouldn't mind a demo now your remapped. I'm thinking of a cheeky remap too.
It could just be that I have got used to the delivery of a v6 over a 4, I've never owned a turbo before so maybe that could be a factor.
It's great to be discussing between an S3, RS4, A3 3.2 or R32... These are all great cars, and aren't usually seen everyday, unleast in my city. Some of you have a long history with non turbo engines. On the other hand, I have a "long" tradition with turbo engines. Have a 1987 Saab 9000 Turbo T16, have driven a polo G40 that's not a turbo I know, a mk1 S3 and a savage ride in a 993 turbo. A 6 cylinder will always be smoother, with more linear power, torque in low revs, but the four pot turbo has come from a long way, and the 2.0 tfsi is a great turbo engine, always smoother than the previous generation, and if that improves the handling compared with the V6 version, I'll go to the turbo version. Only a boxer from porsche or an inline 6 cylinder from bmw will make me change my mind. Already had another savage ride in a 997 carreraS and that engine looks like it has a turbo! What a car...
If you want to know what turbo'd car feels like! Try a ride in a Jag XJR 11! 3.5L V6 1200BHP and 2.5 tonnes of down forces at 100mph. MEGA.
I have driven a 3.2 on two occasions, the first time I owned 1.8T A3 and thought the 3.2 was OK, 2nd time I owned a Civic Type R, in comparison the 3.2 was awful, poor handling, poor gear change, nice noise, OK performance but poor fuel consumption. I opted for a 20T Q in the end which IMO was a much better car. IMO I do not think there is any way you can compare the 3.2 with the S3, as the S3 is a far superior car, it is faster and handles better. 13.3 seconds to 100mph, come on !!!!
Certainly not, I would be deluded to think so. If that was the case I would never change my car. I am well aware of many vehicles that are far superior to mine, I was merely excercising my right to an opinion and stated that it was ''in my opinion'' . Apologies to any 3.2 owners who may have been offended by my opinions, I am aware you all drive fine cars. Cheers Mark
Having driven the S3 and filmed the accelration through the gears upto silly speeds and then taking my 3.2 upto similar speeds also filmed on mobile. There is very little in it once the pace is upped. I can't seem to download the video files off my mobile. But there are both very quick
can I ask, how many miles did the 3.2 have and the S3, im sorry but the 3.2 is quite abit slower to 60, when I had a R32 the 3.2 was abit slower then that too (the R was remapped mind)
Must admit the 3.2 has 40k and the S3 only 1k so was still tight and not fully loosened up, and I wasn't doing 0-60 more like starting from 60. Just did a general comparison. If money would allow I would have the S3 but its something which I cannot afford at the moment. P.S does anyone know how to download videos from a Sony K750i mobile onto the computer, that way I could load them up. Kris
I think you've got to weigh up all the variables to reach a conclusion on which is the "better" car be it the 3.2, s3 or r32. For just over £16k I bought an 18 month old / 8k miles / leathered up a3 3.2 from an audi dealer. To my mind that represented excellent VFM, certainly compared with a mk5 r32 which would have costed at least £7k more - I know the a3 may not have the sporty pretentions of the golf, but come on, essentially they are the same car + the audi in all other derivatives is the "premium" brand over the VW. As for the turbo vs normally aspirated debate, it's really horses for courses. having previously owned an Impreza WRX, I can appreciate the thump in the back type performance you get from a blown engine, but with equal measure enjoy the poewer delivery from the V6. Sounds sweeter than a 4 pot too.
Would a chipped 2.0T FSI Quattro keep up with a new S3 (standard) in a straight line ? Looking at the specs - S3 265BHP & 258lbs of torque Vs Revo 2.0T FSI Quattro 265BHP & 290lb of torque. I know the S3 has an upgraded turbo and better intercooler and would easily beat a 2.0T on a track but on the move say 40 - 100 I would have thought there would not be much in it.

Aquarium reef fish trade to get new regulations
NOAA and the US Coral Reef Task Force have announced new conservation inniciatives aiming to reduce illegal trade of aquarium reef fishes:
"The resolution calls on the task force to examine the use of cyanide and other poisons in the collection of reef fish on the global market. Although illegal in most countries, the use of cyanide to capture reef fish alive is widespread. The U.S. is the number one market for coral reef fish for the aquarium trade. Previous studies estimate that most live reef fish entering into international trade and imported into the U.S. are collected with the use of cyanide, and thus are illegal."
The agencies plan on developing detection tests to determine if the fish were collected with cyanide. In addition, NOAA announced that it supports the declaration of 2008 as the "International Year of the Reef".
More protection for Caribbean Corals
A new layer of protection has been added to Caribbean reef corals by NOAA:
"The NOAA Fisheries Service announced its decision to list elkhorn (Acropora palmata) and staghorn corals (Acropora cervicornis) as threatened under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The final rule will be published next week, and the listing will be effective 30 days after that date. This will be the first time a coral has been listed as endangered or threatened under the ESA. A species is considered endangered if it is in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range."

Sealux CD200 Underwater Housing for Nikon D200
Colin Gans reviews the Sealux CD200 Underwater Housing for the Nikon D200 digital SLR.
Excerpt: The first thing that struck me about the Sealux CD200 housing for the Nikon D200 camera is that it is actually no bigger than the Sealux CD70 housing for the Nikon D70 camera. In fact it is marginally smaller… Fitting a slightly larger and heavier camera into a marginally smaller housing is an interesting approach…

Now here's a treat, albeit on short notice. We're invited to a press screening for "The Conjuring", James Wan's ("Insidious", "Saw") new film starring amongst others Vera Farmiga.
Please read carefully!
Showtime is 8pm at the AMC Metreon tomorrow.
We only have a few reserved seats so please only respond if you are sure that you can make it and intend to stay for the Q&A after.
Usually I don't care too much if you can or cannot make it when you RSVP but this is an exception since I've promised the studio that we'll fill up our seats. So again - before you RSVP please be sure that you can show up on time. We'll meet at 7.00pm at the downstairs box office in the Metreon.
We're on the VIP list so won't have to wait.
There is a wait list available and I'm expecting to get non-reserved passes for folks on the wait list - there's still a good chance to get in but you might have to be there early and stand in line.
The Conjuring
Paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren work to help a family terrorized by a dark presence in their farmhouse. Forced to confront a powerful entity, the Warrens find themselves caught in the most terrifying case of their lives.
The first ratings on RottenTomatoes have been very encouraging so I'm looking forward to this!
My passes turned out to be a VIP cocktail party with 7pm tickets to an audience taped screening. Wonder if I'll see myself jumping in a future trailer
June 29, 2013
Really great movie! I screamed out loud several times :) Loved the Q & A with the cast, James Wan and Lorraine Warren. Thank you Stephan!
June 29, 2013
Wow! That was a creeper! Truly scary. Wan has come a long way since Saw. Having Lorraine Warren there for the Q&A (and of course the rest of the main cast) was awesome!! Great movie and event - thanks everybody for coming.
June 29, 2013
It was awesome! I was going to attend the screening but definitely loved the VIP passes you were able to offer. The Q and A was fabulous!
A few weeks back, I got to see a World War Z screening where Brad Pitt came to introduce the movie and that was an awesome experience and I love Zombie movies!!! The book was terrific too!
Thanks Stefan and group for everything :-)
June 29, 2013
I'm confused one email said that those on the waitlist have guaranteed seats and now the second email is saying to go through Gofobo? Someone please clear this up!
June 28, 2013
what happens if I can't find the email confirmation? do I need to print something for myself and my guests?
June 28, 2013
I already have a 2 tickets from UrbanDaddy & Warner Brothers. Anyone need my +1 ticket let me know! I'll see you all in line
June 27, 2013
Can't wait to be here. Man of Steel was an awesome movie and I love to be terrified! :-)
June 27, 2013
Oh no, I was too late. Let me know if its good. I'm sure it will be.
June 27, 2013
I can't wait to see this screening! I loved Insidious which I attending a screening of and there was a great Q and A at the end!
June 27, 2013

Nothing in place to help addicts deal with OxyContin withdrawal, chiefs say
Calls for a provincial-federal response to help OxyContin addict falls on deaf ears: Chiefs
Doris Slipperjack stole, and used welfare cheques she needed to support her three children, to buy OxyContin at $400 a pill for her nearly daily habit.
The Eabametoong First Nation mother would do anything for a hit of the potent narcotic that has hooked nearly 10,000 First Nations people in northern Ontario. Eabametoong is a fly-in reserve 300 kilometres northeast of Thunder Bay.
"It is amazing I was able to afford it on a daily basis," said the 23-year-old. "I would use my kids' benefits, my Ontario Works benefits, I would rip off people. I would steal from my parents and I would steal from other people to make a quick buck."
First Nations chiefs say they have implored the government to set up a joint provincial-federal treatment response program on reserves to deal with what they feel will be chaos now that OxyContin has been removed from the drug formulary.
The drug is being replaced by a new formulation called OxyNEO. As of Thursday, new prescriptions of this drug are only available under the exceptional access program.
"There is no plan in place right now," Mike Metatawabin, deputy grand chief of Nishnawbe Aski Nation, told a news conference in downtown Toronto on Wednesday. NAN is a political organization representing 49 northern First Nations.
"We have been waiting for them to come to our table and start a dialogue. Now we are at the 11th hour," he said.
Organized crime ensures a flow of OxyContin and other drugs are flown to remote reserves. "Within a few weeks, the illegal supplies will be depleted and those that are addicted will undergo painful withdrawal symptoms," he said. "There are no treatment options available in our communities."
Health Minister Deb Matthews met the chiefs this week and told them she is committed to help, but the chiefs say so far no concrete strategies are in place.
"The decision to move to a new formulation, OxyNEO, which is much more difficult to abuse . . . was dictated as OxyContin is no longer being manufactured," she said. "But the decision to put it on exceptional access is a decision provinces are making across the country."
There are other ways people can manage pain, Matthews said.
Slipperjack became addicted to OxyContin in 2006 after a history of addiction issues from solvents to alcohol. "I've been through a lot of trauma in my life. I am a survivor of sexual abuse and suicide," she said.
OxyContin gave Slipperjack an immediate high. "I needed it to walk, to interact with people, to smile – as if it was my lifeline," she said.
But she has been clean since December when she started a pilot program using a substitution drug called Suboxone, which can be dispensed easily in remote areas lacking permanent nurses or doctors.
Metatawabin and the chiefs have asked Matthews to expand the current Suboxone pilot programs currently in NAN communities and make them permanent.
To expand access, the ministry of health would require more details about Suboxone from the manufacturer, a government spokesperson said.

SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Pomerantz Law Firm Investigates Claims On Behalf Of Investors SciClone Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
NEW YORK, Jan. 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Pomerantz LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of SciClone Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("SCLN" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: SCLN) Such investors are advised to contact Robert S. Willoughby at email@example.com or 888-476-6529, ext. 237.
The investigation concerns whether SCLN and certain of its officers and/or directors violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
On January 24, 2014, the Company filed a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), identifying a number of internal control deficiencies with respect to the Company's revenue recognition and accounting for reserves.
On this news, shares of SCLN fell $0.13 per share, or more than 2.53% on intraday trading to a price of $5.01 on January 27, 2014.
The Pomerantz Firm, with offices in New York, Chicago, San Diego and Florida, is acknowledged as one of the premier firms in the areas of corporate, securities, and antitrust class litigation. Founded by the late Abraham L. Pomerantz, known as the dean of the class action bar, the Pomerantz Firm pioneered the field of securities class actions. Today, more than 70 years later, the Pomerantz Firm continues in the tradition he established, fighting for the rights of the victims of securities fraud, breaches of fiduciary duty, and corporate misconduct. The Firm has recovered numerous multimillion-dollar damages awards on behalf of class members. See www.pomerantzlaw.com. CONTACT: Robert S.
