Date Reviewed: May 27, 2011
Strengths: Grip! Pretty fast on road too when pumped up to about 45#.
A good blend of apparent sidewall durability & light weight! These things will run tubeless very well. Sidewalls snap in tight to the UST bead on Mavics
Weaknesses: the 29 x 2.2" size were smaller in volume than the 29 x 2.0" Specialized SWorks Captains
a little hum when ridden on road - I know these are dirt tyres
these tyres are expensive at $80 MSRP, even at the discounted price I found, they were still spendy, hence the reason for the 4 Chili's
hard to find in dealerships around the Bay Area, I had to order them online...
Bottom Line:
Anyway, these tyres roll great in loose over hard. They climb fire road quickly & provide very confidence inspiring grip when leaned over hard at speed.
These tyres remind me of a slightly tougher Captain. They provide superb grip for very steep technical loose rock climbing. The Nobby Nics have handled rock garden abuse without a problem & I can tell they will run great as tubeless tyres.
For an XC to Aggressive XC tyre they great, but maybe a bit overkill. We all know the 29" wheel allows for a less aggressive tread, yet still providing confidence inspiring grip. My next tyres will probably be more like Specialized Fast Trak LK Control's, since they're lighter in weight & would probably roll faster. Or maybe Racing Ralph's...

Strengths: Light and fast for a full knob, T/L ready
Weaknesses: Pricey Indeed, Hard to find in stock.
Bottom Line:
Well, I took them out for the first time last week, and I have got to say I ws thoroughly impressed with them. They are like Mt. Kings on steroids or meth. Seriously, even though the tires are full knobs like the Mt. Kings, the ride was astonishingly smooth on the trails, as well as fast. In fact, compared to what I was accustomed to with the Conti's, it felt like I was riding on slicks.
If I did have one complaint, it would also be the price. Although I got them at a discount, it was still as expensive as most higher end MTB tires. Also, the durability has yet to been seen.
Hver, if they DO last reasonably as long as most tires, I would buy them again, even at the retail price. (Though I may cringe when hitting the "purchase" button.)

This firm advocates 'harmony & balance'
More News from Amadís Ma. Guerrero
popular .
Why did people in the Bible live so long, Rudy Revak, an American entrepreneur, wondered some time ago. Moses, for example, lived to be 90. He concluded that it was in the food they ate, like wheat, aloe and extracts from the sea.
And don't forget red wine, which has its nutrients.
Revak went on to found his company in Austin, Texas, Symmetry, a transnational wellness and nutritional firm, and its major product—and consistent bestseller—is called, appropriately, Genesis, so named because it was inspired by the Bible.
Genesis is a mélange of whole fruit red grape, quite sweet, and whole fruit pomegranate with a mixture of apple and aloe vera juice. It also comes with a blend of superfoods and healing herbs.
Symmetry has an array of other products, including Ultra Vitality Crystals, UV NutraPack, AceAloe+, herbal and nutritional supplements, daily nutrition for kids, a dietary supplement, an energy booster for men, Advanced Omega, Opti-Breathe capsules for the respiratory system and even "mind-support for students," Future Star.
Revak and his wife, Pamela, a Fil-Am, were in town recently to celebrate Symmetry Philippines' (www.symmetrydirect.com) 16th anniversary. And they presided over a mini-press conference held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Pasig City.
Also present were Elizabeth Añana, Symmetry Philippines general manager, and four business partners of the firm: Dr. Manuel Flores and his wife, Ellen, three times adjudged Entrepreneurs of the Year by the Direct Selling Association of the Philippines (DSAP); Katherine Magsino; and Estrella Wood.
The genesis (pun not intended) of the company's name is a quotation from a Christian publication, Guide Post: "Prayer Brings Symmetry into your Life." And the word symmetry, of course, denotes harmony and balance.
You will not find the products of Symmetry in the drug stores and supermarkets, but only through the business partners, the authorized persons who are the direct sellers, Symmetry being a member of DSAP.
Symmetry has 19 offices worldwide and 25 other markets without an office. "We don't select the market," Revak says. "We follow the business partners. We give people a chance to earn as much or as little as they want, from a few hundred dollars to more. Some start part-time then decide they want to go full-time."
Añana shares that "the DSAP has listed us among the top ten (direct selling) companies in paying taxes."
During the press con, the direct sellers provided testimonials on the various products of the company.
Wood says she had a derma problem for many years, then tried for Symmetry products and "the skin problem was gone forever." She makes P100,000 a month by selling the products. Some of these are returned, however, because the doctors or the families of the buyers do not approve.
Ellen Flores used to teach at a Manila university, and made good money selling the products, which helped build up the stamina of her students. Based in Baguio City, she is now almost full-time as a direct seller, earns P50,000 a month and could earn more were it not for the costs incurred in training people, including senior citizens.
Her husband, Dr. Flores, a general practitioner, suffered chest pains and hypertension, was introduced to Symmetry and "I am now off pharmaceuticals and drugs."
Magsino has a congenital heart ailment and it is not something that will just go away. But with Symmetry products, "I feel better." And—get this—she earns P400,000 a month "more or less" just from being a direct seller.
"We give the body what it needs, basically nutrition," Revak concluded. "It's just food. We offer a lifestyle, not just the money. It's about the lifestyle as well as the money. It's important to have a good life, enjoy it, not just make money.

Actor Dileep was questioned by the Central Excise here on Tuesday on charges of service tax evasion by him and other members of the film fraternity. The actor arrived at the offices of the department here by 11 a.m. and the questioning continued late into the evening.
Cinematographer P. Sukumar was also questioned on Saturday. The department had issued notices to other film professionals seeking explanation for their alleged failure to pay service tax.
"The actor was not at home when we conducted the raid. We called Dileep in to explain the source of unaccounted money we found in his house during the raid. He cooperated with our investigations," a senior official of the department said. Officials said the actor had agreed to pay the tax evaded by him once the department completed its calculations and quantified the sum of evasion.
The government made corporate transfers such as film, music, and video rights taxable under new laws in 2010. Actors' remuneration was also made taxable from July 2012. "There is a lack of awareness regarding the new laws and some of these issues have cropped up because of that. We have issued notices to other film professionals who have evaded service tax, giving them an opportunity to pay up. If they do not respond, we will take action," an official said.
The Preventive Wing of the department had raided the residence and offices of Dileep, Sukumar, and other film personalities on Saturday on charge of service tax evasion. Officials seized Rs.13 lakh and some documents from Dileep's house.
Customs officers had earlier said that the actor had evaded service tax by accepting a portion of his remuneration by cash or cheque, and the rest through distribution rights of movies.

"Vaccination Policy in the United States: Shame, Stigma, and Shared Responsibilities."
The January 2015 measles outbreak that began with visitors to Disneyland is the most recent of a string of high-profile vaccine-preventable disease outbreaks in the United States. Why have we seen such a surge in cases of measles, mumps, and whooping cough? How should
policymakers, public health officials, communities, and care providers respond when attempting to balance the need to protect the public from dangerous diseases with individual rights?
Ross Silverman is a Professor of Health Policy and anagement at the Indiana University Fairbanks School of Public Health, and Professor of Public Health and Law at the Indiana University McKinney School of Law. Prior to joining the faculty at Indiana University, Professor Silverman was Professor and Chair of the Department of Medical Humanities at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine. An internationally-recognized expert on public health law, policy and ethics, his vaccine-related research has appeared in leading medical, health law, ethical, and scientific journals.

It's a great day in the internet/movie world. We finally have our first look at the fourth installment in the "Jurassic Park" franchise. Without further ado I give you the first official trailer for "Jurassic World."
What's the best Disney movie
Everybody loves Disney movies. You can be two or 50. Doesn't matter. Just think of how many you have seen. I don't have enough finger/toes in my household of three. But what's the best one?
Now we venture into dangerous territory. How can you pick a handful? I'm not going to rank all of them. For one I don't have that kind of space and seriously who wants to read that. Okay you probably would, but I'll leave that to BuzzFeed.
A few ground rules before we get started. A list of ten. It has to be animated, so "Remember the Titans" you're out. And it has to be a theatrical release. And it starts.
10. '101 Dalmatians'
Not the best story in the world, but easily the best Disney villain in Cruella de Vil. Hands down. I mean she wants to kill puppies to make them into fur coats. Are you serious! If that doesn't put you down in history as the worst person ever. I don't know what will. Mainly I love dogs so this had to make it on the list.
9. 'Frozen'
I didn't want to put "Frozen" on this list. I know I will probably break the internet, but it deserves to be here. I'm sorry but you don't become the highest grossing animated film of all time and not get some cred. This is old school Disney. Great story and amazing soundtrack make this one unforgettable. And Olaf is one of Disney's best sidekicks ever.
8. 'Monsters Inc.'
This was like watching all my nightmares console me. I could sleep easy knowing all those monsters under my be d were just trying to provide energy for their community. In all seriousness though it was great to see that Billy Crystal and John Goodman were funny again. I felt like it was the 80's all over. Although, "Monsters University" kind of sucked.
7. 'Beauty and the Beast'
This is just a classic morality tale of not judging a book by its cover, which is a little cliché considering that was Belle's passion. The song were top notch, including one of my favorite's "Be Our Guest." Gaston as the villain was spot on coming off very bro-ish.
You can't have a top ten Disney list and not have the one that started the Pixar craze. I mean how cool was it to see a movie that revealed your toys were alive. The in jokes in this film are still the best of any Pixar movie. The Tom Hanks and Tim Allen were the perfect pairing as the two main characters. And when Buzz flies, I mean falls with style, at the end that was another MJ fist pump moment. It's not every day you get two of those in one franchise.
5. 'Finding Nemo'
"Nemo" marked the first time that Pixar touched on some really emotional stuff. You have a single parent trying to raise his son after his mother dies. This one really pulls at the heartstrings of parents as they struggle with letting their kids become more independent. Ellen was amazing as Dory. That's probably why she is the basis for the sequel.
4. 'The Little Mermaid'
I know this one was considered a movie for girls, but I don't care. In my opinion there is no such thing is Disney-world. See what I did there. The music is second best to only "The Lion King." I would know too, our class sang this at our third grade program. Ursula is one of the best Disney villains ever and Scuttle rules. If you don't know what a snarfblat is … oh boy you are missing out.
3. 'Aladdin'
Great villain. Check. Classic story. Check. Good soundtrack. Check. Disney checked all of their prototypical boxes on this one, but the one thing that sends it over the top is Genie. Robin Williams was in his prime here and he shined in this one. His one-liners made this an instant classic.
2. 'Toy Story 3'
This misses out on number one simply because It didn't come out until I was 27. It loses to nostalgia. Although I cried little girl when the toys were sliding to their doom in the trash compactor only to be saved by "the claaaawwwwww." That was a total Michael Jordan fist pump moment. The ending propelled it to number two because I can remember getting rid of my toys as I grew up. #toughtimes
1. 'The Lion King'
The soundtrack alone should put "Lion King" in the top ten. It highlights the dark parts with Scar's "Be Prepared" and the lighter parts with "Hakuna Matata" or "I Just Can't Wait to Be King." The overall story of redemption is classic Disney stuff and the comedy duo of Timon and Pumbaa is gold. Also, "The Lion King" on Super Nintendo is probably the best video game based on a movie I have ever played.
Honorable mentions: "Nightmare Before Christmas," "Wreck It Ralph" and "Hercules"
Do you like my top ten? Hate it? What's in your top ten? Feel free to comment below.
The most anticipated films of 2014
As I looked over the movie releases I felt a little underwhelmed as 2014 looks to be a down year as studios prepare for a monumental 2015. After looking a little closely though I found we will have plenty to hold us over. I have provided links to available trailers for your viewing pleasure. Do you like my list, hate it or just don't care? Let me know. What are you're most anticipated movies of the year?
Sure bets
- 'Noah' (March 28): Russell Crowe makes one of the most recognizable figures from The Bible a bad-ass. I'm not so sure if this is a movie or sacrilege, but either way I'm dying to see Maximus Decimus Meridius face the apocalypse.
- 'Captain America: Winter Soldier' (April 4): This was the first comic book I read when I got back into comic books, so my level of excitement for this is at an insane high. Once I saw the trailer. I nearly peed my pants. I mean come on, he takes down 10-plus guys in a crowded elevator. Taking place entirely in modern day will probably please more movie-goers as well.
- 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' (May 23): The return of Bryan Singer to X-Men to this franchise is much needed. Not to say "X-Men: First Class" was bad, it's just it didn't have the emotion of the first two X-movies. With pretty much the entire cast from all the movies returning as well, I can't wait. To me my X-Men indeed.
- 'Interstellar' (Nov. 7): Almost nothing is known about Christopher Nolan's new movie. There is a ton of big actors in this. We have Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Michael Caine, Casey Affleck, Topher Grace and John Lithgow in a movie about a group of explorers who find a wormhole and embark on a … wait for it … interstellar voyage. Nolan is known for his mind-bending themes, so there is more to it. Can't miss.
- 'Dumb and Dumber To' (Nov. 14): The most anticipated comedy sequel of all time is finally coming after years of Jim Carrey pulling his best Brett Favre impression. The guys venture to find one of their long-lost children in hope of gaining a new kidney. Does it really matter what the plot is? Sea Bass returns, and we get to see former-girlfriend Fraida Felcher. This is going to be Oscar-worthy.
We'll see
- 'Amazing Spider-man 2' (May 2): The inclusion of Jamie Foxx as Electro has me a little worried, but considering how well I liked the last one, I'm down for another outing. Also, Paul Giamatti as Rhino will be interesting. The news that there will be Sinister Six and Venom spin-off movies from this franchise puts it over the top. They got my money, I guess.
- 'Godzilla' (May 16): This looks to be epic. "Pacific Rim" got me primed for this, which was much needed after the last "Godzilla" tragedy. Matthew Broderick, you are banned from my movie collection. The approach they seem to be taking is along the vein of "Cloverfield" with a more street-level approach. No shaky camera, please. Fingers crossed.
- 'Transformers 4: Age of Extinction' (June 27): I will never get enough Optimus Prime. The swap of Shia Labeouf in favor of Mark Wahlberg helps, too, despite the fact that I was one of the few who liked Labeouf. My only issue is the redesign of the robots. I've seen Optimus, and he looks OK, but I prefer the old look. The jury's still out on this one.
- 'Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1' (Nov. 21): This is a mixed bag for me. After the cliffhanger in "Catching Fire," I can't wait for more, but the idea to split the final movie into two has me torn. I was underwhelmed by the first movie, and the second got me revved up about this series again. Now, we get the rebellion which is going to be amazing. The only problem is it will most likely end on another cliffhanger. I'm excited and worried. I'm "worry-ited."
- 'The Hobbit: There and Back Again' (Dec. 17): The end of the Hobbit trilogy seems to be primed to thrill. After "The Desolation of Smaug" made me care again, I can only imagine "Back Again" will be amazing. The cliffhanger ending of "Smaug" has me wondering if this movie will drag on a little similar to "Return of the King" in "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy — which I know rubbed a few people the wrong way.
- 'Edge of Tomorrow' (June 6): The days of Tom Cruise surefire hits have gone by, but his last two movies have been great. The trailer makes this look like 2013's "Elysium" at first glance, but there is much more confusion here. The time travel aspect has piqued my interest, and you can never go wrong with Emily Blunt.
- 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' (July 18): "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" was a surprise hit in 2011, and it did the franchise justice after the Mark Wahlberg remake. Humanity puts together an uprising against Caesar's rising forces. The addition of rising-star Jason Clarke is nice. That guy seems to be everywhere lately. This will be pure-excitement fun.
- 'Guardians of the Galaxy' (Aug. 1): I get two of my favorite comic book movies in the same year. Is this heaven? No … it's Iowa. Some will get that, and some won't. These are a group of unknown characters to many, so you may be leery, but don't be. This could end up being "Star Wars" for a new generation. I'm hoping they keep the comedy from the book intact for the movie and the inclusion of Chris Pratt seems to confirm that.
- 'The Giver' (Aug. 15): I badly don't want this to be a mess. This is one of my favorite books of all time. Some of the casting choices have been interesting. Jonas is played by a relative unknown, Taylor Swift as Rosemary (yuck!) and the Giver is played by The Dude — Jeff Bridges. I'm sorry, but I can't take Bridges seriously since "The Big Lebowski." I want to like this, but I'm not that impressed, so far.
- 'Sin City: A Dame To Kill For' (Aug. 22.): This is a prequel to "Sin City" has been rumored for years. This was supposed to come out last year, and I wouldn't be surprised if it gets pushed to 2015. Almost the entire cast is returning plus my boy Joseph Gordon-Levitt has been added.
Bacon-ator takes it to millenials
If there wasn't a reason for you to love Kevin Bacon he came up with another.
Also if you missed this awhile back. Does that guy look familiar?
Before I go if you aren't watching "The Following" on FOX I strongly suggest you do. Season 1 is on Netflix for all you Bacon lovers out there.
Top movies of 2013
This year's movies didn't measure up to 2012, but there was still plenty to see. Superheroes still reigned supreme at the box office — and in my heart. There were a few surprises and a few duds. Let's get to rankin'.
1. "Man of Steel"
I kind of relegated this one to the top spot the moment I walked out of the theater. My comic book obsession started with the death of Superman, so it only seems fitting that a modern origin story is my favorite. Supes trades in some of the story from "Superman Returns" for plenty of action. City-leveling action in fact. The flashbacks were a good idea in giving the emotional weight to the controversial ending. Russell (The) Crowe was great as Superman's father, Jor-El. You can never go wrong with a little Crowe time. Michael Shannon kills it as Zod; I don't know if he tops Terrence Stamp's version, but it's close. I'll always love any Superman movie, but with this one, I got to mean it when I say it.
2. "The Wolverine"
After "Wolverine: Origins," we had nowhere to go but up, and "The Wolverine" went more than up. The idea of having Logan lose his powers was great, showing him vulnerable, thus making him more relatable. The setting was great, the ninjas were great and the story was top notch. My only qualm was making Silver Samurai a huge robot. Yuck.
3. "Prisoners"
This reminded me of the good old days of simple crime thrillers. Nothing fancy, just pure drama. Jake Gyllenhaal is amazing in this one. He won't win any Oscars, but he deserves it. Hugh Jackman's descent into madness is understandable and heart-breaking, which makes this one so entertaining.
4. "Pacific Rim"
Now, not every movie has to have some great story or great acting. Sometimes, a movie can be great because it's pure fun. "Rim" is just that. It's robots versus monsters. You can't go wrong. This was a primer for "Godzilla" next year.
5. "Gravity"
The solo actor idea had me worried, as it usually doesn't work, but Sandra Bullock shines here. The tension can be felt throughout as you wonder if she'll be able to make it out alive. Some of the plausibility complaints should be shunned. This is a movie after all, and it did its job by creating excitement.
6. "Dallas Buyers Club"
Matthew McConaughey has been top notch the past couple of years. With "Mud," "Magic Mike," which I hear he was really good in, and now "Buyers Club," he has upped his game. His performance along with Jared Leto, who also steps up his acting, are Oscar level. This being a true story had me sold from the get-go.
7. "The Conjuring"
The doll alone in the first 10 minutes was enough to scare the bejeezus out of me. Justin Wan brings his patented style here as he takes a typical ghost story and through varying camera angles and small tricks creates a level of fear that can't be matched. If you weren't scared during the hide n' clap scene, you must have nerves of steel.
8. "Oz the Great and Powerful"
What a beautiful film. The black-and-white beginning made the first glimpse of Oz that much more spectacular. That's what it must have felt like for people seeing the land of Oz in 1939. It takes a lot to wow me these days. I had my breath taken away.
9. "Hunger Games: Catching Fire"
Now, that's what I'm talking about. This had the heart that was missing from the first film. It even made up for botching the death of Rue. The cliffhanger ending, which was expected, made me start counting the days until Mockingjay-Part 1.
10. "Pain and Gain"
Michael Bay returns to "Bad Boys" greatness with "Pain." Bay made me remember he's not just all about explosions, he knows funny, too. His return to form had me forgetting about "Transformers" 1 & 2. The Rock is surprisingly funny and proves that he has the chops to hang with Mark Wahlberg.
Honorable mentions: "American Hustle," "Iron Man 3," "Despicable Me 2" and "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug."
Duds: "Out of the Furnace," "Grown Ups 2," "After Earth" and "A Good Day to Die Hard."
Civil War coming to the Marvel film world?
With the announcement of Netflix producing four new original shows involving Marvel superheroes I couldn't help but jump for joy.
After I came down from my nerd high. I figured I would comment a little bit, maybe theorize a little bit, and tell you why this news is very important for the Marvel film brand and its future.
If you haven't heard the news, the four shows involve Daredevil, Iron Fist, Luke Cage and Jessica Jones. There will be a minimum of 13 episodes of each show that will culminate in a miniseries called 'The Defenders.'
So why is this important?
For one it is a stepping stone for two things. If successful, Netflix could order more shows for other characters and it provides a comparable product to what DC Comics is doing on their side of Hollywood.
DC's 'Arrow,' based on one of their more fringe characters Green Arrow, is in its second season. They have been using the show to introduce some of the company's other characters, with rumors of the Flash showing up this season.
It would appear DC is priming audiences for their much rumored Justice League of America movie.
Marvel must have seen this and decided the small screen would be the best way to introduce audiences to characters that might not warrant the big screen.
Which brings me to the big reason this announcement matters. Civil War. You mean the war between the north and south? No, I'm referring to one of the biggest crossovers in comics.
The event involved heroes being required to register their identities with the government. It pitted Captain America, and his rebels, against Iron Man, and his pro-registration side.
Now the four characters getting their own Netflix series were heavily involved in the Civil War storyline. This seems like a stepping stone to bring the Marvel event to the big screen.
This is all a theory and such an idea couldn't happen until after 'Avengers: Age of Ultron,' which is slated for 2015, the same year these shows are supposed to air on Netflix.
Here's hopin'.
SCREEN TIME: Previews of 'Thor: The Dark World,' 'About Time' and '12 Years A Slave,' reviews of 'Ender's Game' and 'Free Birds'
Tim and Melinda preview 'Thor: The Dark World,' 'About Time' and '12 Years A Slave,' and review 'Ender's Game' and 'Free Birds.'
NERD WORD: You have learned well, my young padawan
The first movie I could remember seeing was "The Wizard of Oz." I was blown away.
Well, as blown away as a 6-year-old could be. It was then my movie obsession began.
I spent the next 24 years taking in any kind of movie I could. The cycle began anew with my son, Austin. He already has an expansive-cartoon-laden movie collection. I have slowly expanded his film palate.
Raising a 5-year-old son in this today's movie age poses its challenges. Most of the wow factor doesn't exist in the industry anymore as everything has already been done.
So, what to do?
Ironically enough, I received wisdom from a 2-foot-tall recluse who carries a big stick — in a green lightsaber.
I recently bought a new TV and surround sound system. The main reason for these purchases was the release of the "Star Wars" box-set on Blu-ray. Austin had seen my T-shirts, toys, posters, etc., but had never seen the films. So, when he asked to watch the "Yoda movie" I gladly obliged.
After watching "The Empire Strikes Back" for the first time — his favorite of the six movies — he quickly wanted to see the other two of the original trilogy. Once we were done with the nearly six-and-a-half hour marathon of nerdy goodness, my wife came downstairs asking what we've been doing.
Without a hitch, Austin says, "Watching 'Star Wars,' mom. I love 'Star Wars.'" — Easily, the proudest day of my life, and I figured out my conundrum.
You apparently can't beat the classics.
In that moment, I realized Austin is a clean slate.
It's all new to him. Those movies that everyone has seen remade, rehashed and repurposed can still give him that same sense of wonder I had when I was a kid.
After "Star Wars," I decided to show him more films I deem "old school." We've watched movies ranging from "The Mighty Ducks" to "E.T.," and the part I find too cute for words is the names he has for some movies.
One of the best was the "pirate movie."
I made the mistake of playing "Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of The Black Pearl," when the pirate movie he was talking about was "The Goonies."
Or, the "candy movie" for "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory," of which we watched the original and the remake. (I'm proud to say he didn't like the remake at all.)
Thankfully, he didn't like the "Star Wars" prequels as much as the originals either.
Nerd cred still intact.

Ranking the top horror franchises
Why do we eat up horror movies? They are the Jan Brady of Hollywood. They can never live up to the Marsha level hype of a "Schindler's List" and they aren't as cute as the Cindys, i.e "Finding Nemo."
Answer. We love to be scared. Also, they're cheap to make.
The horror genre has seen many B, C and D-list movies. It can even be argued that all films of the genre fit the latter category. Becoming a franchise is a whole different beast to tame. So, what does it take to get that staying power? Simple. You need a memorable villain, a few laughs and plenty of gore. Here are the top horror movie franchises to date.
10. "Final Destination"
• Films: Five.
I'm amazed at the new ways this series finds to kill off its characters. The idea that death will find you no matter what has a sense of gravity to it. It's almost sad to say Devon Sawa hooked me those years ago and this is a series that I'm amazed has The "Final Destination" franchise is one of the few to have consistent quality. It never blew me away but it always left me coming back for more.lasted as long as it has.
9. "Evil Dead"
• Films: Four.
Sadly, I only entered the world of "Evil Dead" in the past year. Fan boys, you can stone me later. This is camp at its best. Something interesting happens in this series. The sequel shifted to a horror/comedy with plenty of slapstick moments. Director Sam Raimi turned the comedy up to 11 with "Army of Darkness," which made this series all the better.
8. "Friday the 13th"
• Films: 12
Jason Voorhees is probably one of the most recognizable villains on this list. "Friday" has the distinction of having the most sequels of any horror franchise. Despite many of the sequels being repetitive, the franchise has the distinction of getting better until part four. A tough feat in the genre.
7. "Child's Play"
• Films: Six.
As a kid what were your favorite things in the whole world? Your toys. So, a toy that is a serial killer is a child's worst fear. Don't tell me whenever you see a doll now that Chucky doesn't creep into the back of your mind. P.S. Stop watching this series after No. 3.
6. "Paranormal Activity"
• Films: Four.
Handheld-camera movies had been done before, but this franchise took it to a whole new level: Putting the villain in your own house. This is the first horror movie that I had seen since I was little that had me turning the lights on in my house as I went room to room. If you ask my wife, I woke her up 20 times the night after seeing this movie. I beg to differ.
5. "Night of The Living Dead"
• Films: Six.
Zombies! The franchise that introduced the world to the traditional zombies we love today is more than deserving of this spot. The films may not seem so scary now, but during their time they were the most terrifying films people had ever seen. Just think without "Night of the Living Dead" we wouldn't have "The Walking Dead." Respect your elders.
4. "Texas Chainsaw Massacre"
• Films: Three.
The first film in this series is probably the best
horror movie ever. It's sheer terror at its finest. Chainsaw-wielding Leatherface alone is scary enough, but the idea of an entire family of crazed killers is terrifying. Most of the sequels/remakes/prequels have been downright laughable, but the strength of the first film pushes this toward the top.
3. "Scream"
• Films: Four.
Two Wes Craven franchises in my top three? Of course. This was the return of the classic slasher flick. It turned the entire genre on its head working almost like a commentary on the very genre it was a part of. Oddly enough, the franchise fell to the same fate as those it mocked.
2. "Halloween"
• Films: Nine.
The introduction of scream queen, Jamie Lee Curtis, will always have a special place in my heart. The idea of basing this series around the scariest holiday of the year was genius. It adds to the fear. The mythology, added later in the series, that gave Michael Myers a back story was nice. A horror movie with an intricate story? Who knew?
1. "Nightmare on Elm Street"
• Films: Nine.
It takes a lot to top the list, but it was close. Freddy puts "Nightmare" over the top. He's easily the best horror villain. The idea of attacking you in your dreams is so terrifying. I know I've lost many hours of sleep after watching any of the series' nine films, well … maybe not the remake.
Honorable mentions:
• "Alien"
This is a borderline action movie, so it almost shouldn't be mentioned. It does have its tense-filled, scary moments though. Sigourney Weaver's bad-assery is nothing to scoff.
• "Psycho"
Norman Bates/mother made us a little freaked out to take a shower. That would explain that smelly kid in third grade. The sequels in the series prevent this one from making the list.
• "Hellraiser"
A very scary villain who tortures your soul would seem like a win, but a dreadful sequel followed by progressively worse sequels destroy the luster on this franchise.
• "The Ring"
A tape that your aren't supposed to watch or you would be killed. Really? Don't watch it. I know horror movies usually don't make much sense, but come on. The moment when Samara comes out of the TV still shakes me to my core though. Oh sorry. SPOILER ALERT!!!

Talk with Tenney: A Conversation with Craig Lewis: Animal Companions Save Lives
From Craig Lewis: Our animal companions mean the world to us. For those of us who have struggled throughout our lives, who have been abandoned, mistreated, subjugated and disempowered, we know the damage that has impacted our psyche. I am one of these people. I know what it means to be damaged to my core. There have been many times in my life when I was unsure if I would make it the next day. There have been many times in my life that the pain I was experiencing was too much to manage and that the prospect of never hurting again was a beautiful thought to have. Even in the past three months, abject despair has, at times, consumed me. However, there was something different going on this time. I have an animal companion in my life who is depending on me to care for him. No matter how bad things became I felt a responsibility to him. His name is Max the Cat. Max the Cat is a rescue. He has experienced abandonment two times in his short life. No matter what was going on with me, I simply could not abandon him. I know the brutal pain of abandonment. Every day I spent time with him, patting him, brushing him and singing to him. He responded by smothering me with his love. He saw and heard me cry every day, sometimes uncontrollably, and he knew of my pain and suffering and he gave me his unconditional love. Without Max the Cat being in my life these past few months, I would be dead. I love Max the Cat and he has helped me stay alive and his love has helped heal me in ways that I have never experienced before. We want to hear from listeners about your precious and loved animal companions. Many of you may have had a loving animal companion who may no longer be with you. This is an opportunity to honor and celebrate all the beauty they brought to your life. For those of us who know the life impacting love of an animal, this is a time to celebrate this love. Bark Bark. Meow Meow. Ribbit.

SALEM, Ore. -- Students in Texas have revealed a piece of Oregon history after it was found encased in sand and rock.
One cannon, found by teen beachcomber Miranda Petrone near Arch Cape, was taken to Texas A&M University in February 2008.
Oregon Parks and Recreation Department officials said it was possible two cannons found in the area were the remnants of the 1846 wreck of the USS Shark, a US Navy vessel that sank on the Columbia Bar in 1898.
Workers at the Center for Marine Archaeology and Conservation soaked the cannons to remove salt and chiseled the rock off with hand tools.
A broad arrow engraved on the cannon proved the cannon was likely made for the British Royal Navy, officials said. The early American navy often bought military gear from overseas in the first half of the 19th century.
We still don't know exactly where these cannon came from, but the information revealed by the lab is certainly pointing toward the USS Shark theory, State Archaeologist Dennis Griffin of the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department said. This is where it gets interesting and exciting. What more clues will we find as the lab continues to work? What questions will be answered, and what new ones will be posed? We'll find out as the lab continues to do their excellent work.
The cannon will be returned to Oregon after the graduate students chemically treat the wood and metal to shield them from corrosion. That could take a couple of years, officials said.

Latest Osteocalcin Stories
Vitamin E tocotrienols may soon be sharing the platform with other bone health supplements, suggests a recent study using American River Nutrition's DeltaGold® annatto tocotrienol supplement
Researchers have uncovered a direct genetic link between fat and bone mass – a discovery that could bring the medical community one step closer to understanding how both types of tissues are interconnected on a biological level.
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Engineering Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Pinpoint the Origin of Bone Fractures A new study from engineering researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute shows, for the first time, how the little-understood protein osteocalcin plays a significant role in the strength of our bones. The findings could lead to new strategies and therapeutics for fighting osteoporosis and lowering the risk of bone fracture. Funded by the U.S. National...
A study to be published in the Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism (JCEM) shows consumption of a Mediterranean diet enriched with olive oil for two years is associated with increased serum osteocalcin concentrations, suggesting a protective effect on bone.
Cells in bone, fat and the pancreas appear to be talking to each other and one thing they likely are saying is, "Get moving."
Scientists have discovered an unexpected connection between a hormone produced in bone and male fertility.
Researchers have discovered an unexpected connection between a hormone produced in bone and male fertility.
Our bones have much greater influence on the rest of our bodies than they are often given credit for.
A new study by Johns Hopkins researchers has found that insulin, the sugar-regulating hormone, is required for normal bone development and that it may provide a link between bone health and metabolic disease, such as diabetes.
Rube Goldberg—the cartoonist who devised complex machines for simple tasks—would have smiled at one of leptin's mechanisms for curbing insulin release.

Don't need machete. Amp tome is best, get that hourglass quick, more useful than dorans. + Compared to machete more damage when you gank.
Trolling is a art
Pretty much anything you want
Tome or machete+wards. Depends on who I'm against. If I plan on counterjungling or rushing a spirit item, then I do machete. Spellvamp + AP + Smite CDR? Pretty nice.
Alternatively, if I'm playing against a pretty good team that I'll need to shut down early, tome is definitely great. Those champs would be Nasus, Hecarim, Veigar, Akali, Morde, Teemo, etc etc. Champs that become exponentially harder to gank as the game goes on.
Now these points of data make a beautiful line, and we're out of beta we're releasing on time! So I'm glad I got burned, think of all the things we learned!
Fiddle sticks win rate is 53%. Fiddlesticks that built the AP spirit stone item have 55% winrate.
Out of the top 5 items for fiddle sticks, only one builds from tome and that's kage's lucky pick, which has 46% win rate on him.
Stop not going machette on fiddle plz. It's stupid.

Fed employee group calculates lost benefits under chained CPI
President Barack Obama's proposal to change the way retirees' cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs) are calculated has drawn the ire of federal-employee groups and unions. The National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association (NARFE) has released a calculator designed to show retirees and policymakers how benefits would be reduced if the chained CPI were implemented.

Gestures are great, but they aren't edible
Elected and appointed officials are exempt from sequestration-related furloughs. But now that President Barack Obama has voluntarily taken a 5 percent pay cut, odds are many of the people he appointed to their jobs will also follow suit. So what do rank-and-file federal employees think? Check out Senior Correspondent Mike Causey's column for more.

Stress, the "Silent Killer"
Dr. Oz, the popular television medic, recently said that high blood pressure is the "silent killer." Stress, he said, is one of the major causes of high blood pressure. Lawyers I talk with almost universally tell me about the stress under which they labor. What I try to do as a coach is to advise about improving the lawyer's operations, which often helps reduce stress levels for the lawyer. It's a holistic perspective, addressing revenue improvement, operations changes that impact profit, and stress reduction that improves both the professional and personal life of the lawyer. Moreover a coach is someone the lawyer can talk with objectively, discussing fears and working to resolve them.
Love Your Work - Reduces Stress
But is stress always bad? A recent Los Angeles Times article featured a lawyer who clearly is a workaholic. But, she has a marvelous and somewhat unusual perspective on her workload. As the story emphasizes, stress can hinge on attitudes about work. In other words, if you love what you're doing, it's not work; if it's not work, you may be exhausted at the end of the day, but you won't be stressed out and unable to cope with your environment.

@arf145 : Yes , typically in summer we can get the engine started with full throttle and cranking for about 5 secs or less, and then throttle back to idle quickly. However as the temps have cooled even with full throttle its taking longer and longer to start. Hence the HEET spray question. Before this Yanmar 3GM30F I had a Westerbeke 20B with glow plugs, and that thing started fine after 10 secs of glow plug button no matter what the ambient temps. Unfortunately it seems the Yanmar has no glow plugs.
