Producer/Co Writer
My love for horror movies started at an early age, my older brother had a Betamax video recorder with hundreds of movies, ranging from horror, action, sci-fi, comedy, I loved them all, but the one genre that stood out for me was horror, the feeling of anticipation when finding a movie with an awesome title like Zombie Flesh Eaters. Not knowing what was in store for me after I pressed play was exhilarating. When the movie played out its nasty face rips, eye gouges I would jump with joy. Sick, yes I know. Now, as a 35 year old man, I'm still, if not more of a horror fanatic, no the right word would be addict, who watches, writes and produces movies that I would personally want to watch.
Tony Jopia was born in Iquique, Chile.

Winds of change continue in the Middle East. Now Syria is in the spotlight. Since there is a consensus on the idea that recent developments in Syria may cause different consequences from other regional countries, international actors are more precautionary. The 'cautious' stance of Moscow regarding international intervention to Libya replaced to a more distinctive one in the case of Syria. Apparently, for Russia cost of possible regime change in Syria will be more than cancellation of the arms trade agreements. How does Russia evaluates recent developments is another hot topic since Damascus is one of the most important allies of Moscow in the Middle East.
First of all, Russia prefers to evaluate uprisings in the Middle East as domestic issues of the countries. In the case of international operation to Libya, Russia did not veto the UN resolution, choosing to abstain instead. As for Syria, Russia firmly stands against such intervention not only because Moscow is not content with the Libya operation but also Syria means a lot to Russia.
Putin took over from the Yeltsin era the tendency of looking to the Middle East from an economic point of view. Since Putin knew that recovery of the Russian economy is a must in order to restore Russia's great power status, this trend sustained. Therefore during the early 2000s Russia used mostly economic tools, mainly arms trade agreements in its policy towards Middle East. As a consequence of these agreements Moscow became the number one arms supplier in the Middle East. According to Igor Korotchenko, head of a Moscow-based think-tank on international arms trade, Russian arms sales to Algeria and Syria constitute about one-eighth of Russia's portfolio of arms orders worldwide, which totals $ 48 billion.
While Russian foreign policy was dominated by economy in Middle East, when it comes to Syria another dimension of Russian foreign policy towards this region fade in: mediation. Relative improvement in Russian economy was followed by Russian great power claims in international arena. Moscow's great power initiative in the Middle East was formulated as a mediator. Syria is one of the pillars upon which Russia establishes its mediation role. Indeed Moscow tries to be part of any initiative aiming solution between Israel and Syria.
2005 has been a breaking point in terms of Damascus-Moscow relations. During Syrian President Bashar Assad's state visit to Russia in January 2005, a protocol was signed to write-off % 73 of Syria's debt ($ 9,8 million). This protocol paved the way to enhanced mutual relations. For Syria, which was isolated in international scene, Russia was a very important partner. As for Russia we can say that Moscow discovered the advantages that can have in exchange for debt cancellation. As mentioned above the most important advantage was having good relations not only with Israel but also with Syria which could strengthen Russia's hand in its mediator role. The reason why Syria matters for Russia can be explained in light of three facts. The first fact is that if Russia loses its good relations with the Assad regime, its role as a mediator will probably be damaged.
Secondly, Tartus base which is the only Russian naval base in the Middle East is another factor that makes Syria an important partner for Moscow. Russian Naval Forces were using Tartus as a naval base according to the agreement that was signed in 1971. Moscow started to restore the base since 2008 and this step was evaluated as a strategic decision of Moscow as a response to tense relations with Ukraine. It was said that during its dispute with Ukraine over the presence of the Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol, Russia was eyeing the prospect of deploying a naval base in Tartus. From this standpoint since Russia-Ukraine relations are in a good level and the Black Sea Fleet's presence in Crimea after 2017 extended for another 25 years, Syrian authorities question whether Russia still want to have Tartus naval base or not. However, recent uprising and its aftermath in the Middle East showed the Tartus base is no less important than before.
Thirdly, Russia has retained close ties with Syria since the Soviet era and is currently supplying the country with advanced missiles and other arms. And Russian President Dmitry Medvedev paid a visit to Damascus last year to strengthen trade ties between the two countries and promote Russia's waning presence in the Middle East. Moreover Syria was one of the few countries to support Russia in its war with Georgia. For Russia possible regime change may also mean to lose its most important ally in the region.
In conclusion, Russia's cautious stance was replaced with a firmer posture in terms of possible international intervention to Syria. Since Damascus means not only economic gains but also political card for Moscow, possible regime chance in Syria has a potential to affect Russian influence in the region much more than any country.

Fairly heavy which make them good for use as doorstops or paper weights or just for show! Look quite real.Overall happy with purchase.
Great for those magpies, heavy enough to hold a solid door
Excellent value for money, stunning looking - looking for something for a couple as a different present? How could you not want this in your home - a little taste of luxury!
I'd been looking for something different when I spotted this 'Gold Bullion Doorstop'. IWOOT had an offer on so I bought three. One for our son, who's always fancied himself as a 'bit of a millionaire'. One for our daughter; it'll make a great paperweight on her desk in her office. And one for my brother, who just likes 'quirky' gifts. They arrived in good time and in excellent condition, really well packed but easy to open. They look amazing and are really a good weight and extremely shiny with a lovely gloss finish. If I didn't know better I'd swear they were real. Now I can't wait to see all of their faces when they open their presents Christmas morning. Thank you IWOOT for some really great gifts and special service.
Very happy with the Gold Bullion Doorstop, thank you.
The Gold Bullion Doorstop is such a novel way to keep your doors open, they look so real there's been a few second glances!
This Gold Bullion Doorstop is a fun present for friends, is really well made and good value for money.
The Gold Bullion Doorstop is not quite as heavy as the advert implied. I'd say perhaps a 1/3 of the weight? Easily lifted with 1 hand, but other than nit-picking with the weight, it's a great novelty item. The one I kept for our house gets all the guest's attention.
I bought this Gold Bullion Doorstop and my dog keeps destroying the rubber or soft doorstops. This looks great and the dog can't get a grip to destroy it. I have had good comments about it from visitors.
This Gold Bullion Doorstop is a lovely gift. It's very shiny! This has a good weight to it and it works well on laminate flooring.
The Gold Bullion Doorstop looks and feels great. It's nice, heavy and always requires a second look!
Awesome! I recommend this Gold Bullion Doorstop!
This Gold Bullion Doorstop is great and a really high quality gift.
That's the whole review, really. If you want a door held open, and your bank manager replies 'Insufficient funds' when you ask for a bar of gold bullion for the purpose, this is the solution.
It was of better quality than I thought it would be and being 1kg in weight it felt the part!
The Gold Bullion Doorstop is excellent, and really does look like a proper gold bar. I was expecting more of a matte finish, but this is shiny and looks like the real thing. Excellent gift for people who already have everything and like a bit of fun bling!
Excellent item, very funny and in a strange way useful.
The Gold Bullion Door Stops are a great gift idea for any guy who has everything! Unusual but stylish gift for anyone who likes a bit of luxury! Inspiration for any millionaire in the making.
Brilliant new home gift. Suited personality brilliantly.
Brilliant new home gift. Suited personality brilliantly.
I was very pleasantly surprised when the Gold Bullion Doorstop arrived. So often things are half the size they appear in the picture, but this was, if anything, bigger than I was expecting. Very heavy, too, so there's no chance of your door closing in the breeze. Buy one for the money obsessed person in your life!
I bought these as a gift for dinner party guests. It's a James Bond theme so quite fitting. Can be used as door stop or paper weight. Looks like proper gold and nicely packaged.
These Gold Bullion Doorstop bars are wonderful! They are so real and add a touch of millionairess/millionaire's lifestyle to your home. Well worth the price. They are so well made, classy, and an ingenious idea! I simply couldn`t resist them. Many thanks.
This Gold Bullion Doorstop is a great novelty gift for my father in law. I think he is now going to try and pass it off as real to the grandkids!
The Gold Bullion Doorstop is extremely realistic, it even has the gold lustre. One could be forgiven for mistaking it for the real thing. I am very impressed with it and I am sure the recipient will be too.
This Gold Bullion Doorstop is good fun to have on your desk as a paper weight. It's a really good gift for the person who has everything.
I needed a different type of present for a male family friend. The Gold Bullion Doorstop was original and appreciated by the man who has everything. Thanks.
This was a present for my brother who invests in gold . He thought it was absolutely brilliant and started using it as soon as he had opened the parcel-a big hit!
These Gold Bullion Doorstops are great fun and do the job perfectly. They also make a great talking point.
Plastic on the bottom gives it away a bit, but everyone has to come and pick it up when they see it. The Gold Bullion Doorstop looks great and fools everyone.
We bought this Gold Bullion Doorstop as a joke present for our son who had dabbled a bit with gold on a well known auction website. The parcel arrived while we were out and the postman had to leave one of his "you need to collect a parcel from the sorting office" cards. When I did so the guy behind the counter commented that it was a chunky parcel and I said "It should be, its a gold bar". His face was a picture and I opened the box to prove my story - and then told him the truth! We have yet to visit our son but I am sure that his reaction will be very similar when he opens the parcel.
This was a thank you present for my brother and his wife who live in a big old house by the sea in Dunloaghaire Co. Dublin with big doors, some of which don't stay open as they are quite heavy. They were very impressed with the Gold Bullion Doorstop for one of the doors. They were absolutely thrilled with it!
Terrific eye catching doorstop. Looks great on a wooden floor and so much tidier than other options. Easy to clean as well.
This Gold Bullion Doorstep is just wonderful. I actually use mine as a paperweight. It makes an attractive and eye-catching addition to my desk and everyone remarks on it. This is worth every penny.
This brick is abolutely brilliant. My son collects gold and silver bars and as I can't afford the real thing. He will have to make do with this. He will love it and it will make him laugh when he unwraps it Christmas morning. I'm sure he will have a giggle with his friends and let them think it's real. Very life like. Great
Nice and heavy and very shiney, love it - could it be real?!
The bullion doorstop was a birthday gift and I was delighted at how quickly it was sent - it arrived, well packed within 48 hours. Thank you!
I bought this as a present for someone who keeps getting locked out of his flat when the door slams shut. He loved it, downside, everybody who visits has to pick it up and have a look thus allowing the door to slam shut!
The gold bullion doorstop was useful fro the moment it was delivered (and very promptly too).No sooner was it out of its box and gift wrapped for my husband,it was put to use, propping the french window open so that our cat could get in and out during a particularly cold spell.There it stayed,in its gold sparkly paper,untl the cat toppled the christmas tree on one of its visits in,and the trusty gold bar was used to prop up the dodgy leg of the xmas tree stand. On xmas morning my husband unwrapped his gift and was most pleased,making the whole family catch it in turn to admire its beauty (and to avoid a broken nose).It was then used as a helicopter landing pad for my sons new toy,before I borrowed it a a weight while I wrapped a forgotten present.On boxing day it was used to sort and calm an unruly pile of my husbands invoices,and it is now having a well earned rest, wedging our bedroom door open so the cat can sneak onto our duvet for a 2am cuddle, its gold beauty radiating into the room! thankyou IWOOT
I got this as a novelty present for someone else, as soon as I saw it I wanted it! Everyone who saw it did a double take in disbelief! When I win the lottery I'm having these all over the mansion!
Blimy Gov ! How many of those can we get in the boot of a mini cooper. First class item, I will stick on the back shelf of my real mini cooper. The gold bar may be fake but the car is real. " Your only supposed to blow the bloody doors off ! "
This item is exactly as expected. Personally, I would prefer it to be heavier, but it does what it is meant to do.
Great bit of kit! Can imagine that a "REAL" gold bullion looks like this! Got weight to it also, so will hold open doors like a true gent with money would lol. Time to fool some friends I think!

Choose Resistors to Minimize Errors in Grounded-Load Current Source
By David Guo
Operational amplifiers are frequently used to make high-quality current sources in a variety of applications, such as industrial process control, scientific instrumentation, and medical equipment. Single Amplifier Current Sources , published in Analog Dialogue, Volume 1, Number 1, 1967, introduces several current source circuits that provide a constant current through floating loads or grounded loads. In industrial applications, such as pressure transmitters and gas detectors, these circuits are widely used to provide 4-mA to 20-mA or 0-mA to 20-mA currents.
The improved Howland current source, shown in Figure 1, is very popular because it can drive a grounded load. The transistor, which allows relatively high currents, can be replaced by a MOSFET to achieve even higher currents. For low cost, low current applications, the transistor can be eliminated, as shown in Difference Amplifier Forms Heart of Precision Current Source , published in Analog Dialogue, Volume 43, Number 3, 2009.
The accuracy of this current source is determined by the amplifier and the resistors. This article shows how to choose the external resistors to minimize errors.
Figure 1. Improved Howland current source drives grounded loads.
Analysis of the improved Howland current source yields the transfer function:
Tip 1: Set R2 + R5 = R4
In Equation 1, the load resistance influences the output current, but if we set R1 = R3 and R2 + R5 = R4, the formula reduces to:
Here, the output current is only a function of R3, R4, and R5. With an ideal amplifier, the resistor tolerances determine the accuracy of output current.
Tip 2: Set RL = n × R5
If R5 = RL, it further simplifies to:
Here, the output current depends only on the resistance of R5.
In some cases, the input signal may need to be attenuated. For example, with a 10-V input signal and R5 = 100 Ω, the output current would be 100 mA. To get a 20-mA output current, set R1 = R3 = 5R2 = 5R4. Now, Equation 1 reduces to:
If RL = 5R5 = 500 Ω, then:
Tip 3: Larger value for R1/R2/R3/R4 improves the current accuracy
In most cases, R1 = R2 = R3 = R4, but RL ≠ R5, so the output current is as shown in Equation 3. With R5 = 100 Ω and
Figure 2. Relationship between R1 and output current accuracy.
Tip 4: Resistor tolerance affects current accuracy

#3. Accordion BreastsHinging Breast Implant, Patent #US 6,875,233 B1 (2005)
Matthew Turner tried to revolutionize breasts with all the experience and understanding of a 14-year-old boy swearing at a bra clasp. Having grown up thinking you could make boobs bigger by blowing into them, Turner proceeded to avoid breasts for long enough to build something that proved how very, very wrong he was.
Never mind implanting those moving sharp edges inside human flesh; anyone using that font is a monster.
He complains that modern breast implants don't allow their size to be adjusted after installation and doesn't seem to have the slightest clue about the medically terrifying reasons for that. It's not a total surprise that a man on a quest to turn real women into blow-up dolls doesn't worry about women being comfortable, or even understand that women being comfortable is a theoretical possibility, since it's clearly never happened anywhere near him. But it's still a special sort of crazy that infuses that lack of know-how with what is apparently a fetish to play accordion duets as foreplay.
"I'm horny, dear, fetch the condom and bicycle pumps."
What's especially amusing is how excited Turner clearly was when writing the patent. He comes up with an amazing 19 implementations covering every possible arrangement of hinge-tits in the female chest, but hasn't bothered to figure out whether the implant will be filled with "liquid, gas or solid." Medical technologists spend years working on biocompatible materials, and this guy hasn't even chosen a state of matter. He clearly thought he didn't have time to work such minor details out. He had to get his idea for a drink umbrella you put in your chest patented before anyone else came up with the idea!
#2. Motorized Breast BlasterRotary Douche for Treating Breasts, Patent #3,667,455 (1972)
She's a dirty, filthy thing and should have her sexual organs sealed in rotating mechanical punishment plumbing. Whatever feelings that sentence stirred in you are exactly the ones you'd probably feel about the inventor of this device, who clearly missed his calling as the only dominatrix who isn't too much of a wimp to connect you to public utilities.
No one would put that on a human chest outside of a Saw movie.
The Rotary Douche mounts the mammary with an electromagnetic stator, with a sealing edge to trap the offending organ in a bell-shaped vessel. Rotary fingers then spin while firing water from all angles. This man uses more terrifying technology to deal with his target than the Ghostbusters.
From Dr. Doom's lingerie catalog.
The patent spends hundreds of words on how to dismantle the breastblaster to clean out tap water calcium deposits, while completely disregarding the part of the user experience where a living, breathing woman's tits are trapped in twin sternal washing machines. While that might suggest that he failed to consider women's feelings, we suspect that he had to remove all the references to "shrieking flesh bags" and didn't know another word for them. If it wasn't for three uses of the word "breasts," you'd swear it was a device for cleaning particularly troublesome diesel engines.
#1. The Most Sexist Invention in HistoryBreast Developing Jacket, U.S. Patent #3,500,832 (1970)
Ladies and gentlemen, behold the most sexist fluid-based technology since the non-stick stripper pole.
That is a harness designed to make a woman's breasts bigger by leashing her to the kitchen sink. The water even returns through an outflow valve so that the prisoner doesn't stop washing dishes. The patent refers to the victim as a "patient" and the process as "therapy," because the inventor considers not having big tits a medical problem. The inner layer of the jacket conforms to the wearer's breasts and assaults them, with the idea that running hot water over boobs will magically make them grow like oatmeal, ignoring the fact that if hot water caused breasts to swell, everyone would already have bigger breasts. Modern showers would have given women breast sizes you'd be able to win Scrabble with.
This was only two years after the famous "bra-burning" protest at the 1968 Miss America pageant, and even though no bras were actually burned, this lunatic still built a restraining water-filled self-extinguishing bra just in case. And that was still social progress compared to another madman's earlier invention.
"We're not necessarily treating you like livestock, but if you could lactate, it would defray the costs a bit."
Look at those expansion chambers. The inventor could have made everyone (including himself) happier if he'd just stapled two cows together and lived underneath them.
If H.R. Giger were a dairy farmer.
It's a shame that these people were designing breast restraint frames with skintight material hooked up to fluid hoses at a time when you had to pretend it was a medical treatment. Nowadays you can just admit you both enjoy it and go out and buy the damn thing.

All of these were taken using one light for quick setup. They were each shot with an SB800 through a 60″ shoot-through umbrella. Cody's was taken in our bedroom. The other two were taken in the backyard as the storm was blowing in.
Is Cody's smile that of a child who just pulled the puppies eyes out. Just kidding! I love the pictures. I just bookmarked your blog thingy so I can find it now. Hopefully I will be able to keep track better. Cody gets aggravated because I never know what he is talking about or trying to describe. I hope we can spend more time together this summer. I like having someone on my side every once in a while. Tell Becca hi.

Glenn Beck and Jesus' Jewish Killers
"But Jesus was not a victim. He was a conqueror…Jesus conquered death. He wasn't victimized. He chose to give his life….If he was a victim, and this theology was true, then Jesus would've come back from the dead and made the Jews pay for what they did. That's an abomination."—Fox television host Glenn Beck, July 13, 2010
On a personal note, I have always found the claim that the Romans bore sole responsibility for the Crucifixion to be rather disingenuous. I understand why Jewish leaders make this claim, but the New Testament does not support it. Although the Romans carried out the execution of Jesus, Christian scriptures clearly indicate that the Jewish "chief priests," "scribes," "elders of the people," and Sadducee High Priest Caiaphas organized His arrest and trial (Matt. 26:3-5, 47, 57, 59-66; 27:12, 20). If there is blame to assign for Jesus' trial and execution, then those Jewish officials must receive their fair share. However, many Jews did accept Jesus, including almost all of the apostles and chief followers. Presumably, they played no role in the proceedings and cannot fairly be lumped together with Jesus' accusers. Ditto for the masses who lined the streets and celebrated Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday.
My response? Mormons don't believe in a God who listens to lynch mobs. This was not the Sanhedrin speaking: there is no indication that the crowd had any authority to represent the Jewish people and their offspring, and it is nonsensical to believe that God would somehow feel obligated to persecute generations of Jews because a group of murderous Jerusalemites had once requested that their descendants be held accountable for the spilling of Jesus' blood.
It must be mentioned here that the Book of Mormon does have a few harsh things to say about the "priestcrafts," "iniquities" and "abominations" of the Jews, which caused God to punish them and led them to "stiffen their necks" against Jesus. Moreover, the book includes this ringing indictment: "there is none other nation on earth that would crucify their God. For should the mighty miracles be wrought among other nations they would repent, and know that he be their God." When these verses are considered in the context of a book that recounts how descendants of Israelites came to the Americas, kept the Law of Moses, built temples, and looked forward to the coming of a Messiah, it is clear that they are not anti-Semitic in nature. Rather, they were written in the same spirit as the lamentations of the Talmudic rabbis who blamed murder, idolatry, and sexual sins for the destruction of the First Temple and sinat chinam (baseless hatred) for the demise of the second one. As for condemning the conduct of ancient Israelites, the Book of Mormon can't hold a candle to Jeremiah.
I will deal with the Jews' rejection of Jesus when I address theodicy, persecution and anti-Semitism in a later post. For now, it is sufficient to note that there is nothing in Mormon teaching that supports blaming all Jews, past or present, for the murder of Jesus.
Shabbat shalom.

SAN BRUNO, Calif. --- University of Portland senior forward Luke Sikma and junior guard Nemanja Mitrovic were named to the All-West Coast Conference first team, while senior guard Jared Stohl earned honorable mention honors the league announced on Tuesday. Sikma was an honorable mention selection as a junior, while Stohl picks up his third straight honorable mention award. Mitrovic was recognized for the first time as he moved into the starting rotation this season.
Saint Mary's senior guard Mickey McConnell was named the WCC Player of the Year, while Santa Clara senior Troy Payne took defensive player of the year honors. Randy Bennett of Saint Mary's was voted the coach of the year and junior college transfer Marquise Carter Gonzaga was the newcomer of the year award recipient. The awards were tallied based on votes from all eight WCC Coaches.
Sikma led the WCC in rebounding (10.6) and double-doubles (14) over the course of the season and averaged 14.6 points and 10.7 rebounds in league games. He recorded his 1,000th career point this season and also became the Pilots' all-time leading rebounder.
Mitrovic made a big improvement in production this season after being a role player his first two years on The Bluff. The Toronto native averaged 13.3 points and 4.4 rebounds per game during the WCC season and shot 41 percent from the three-point line in league games. He ranks No. 5 nationally in three-point percentage this season (.471).
Stohl is Portland's career leader in three-pointers made and ranks second in the WCC for career threes made (328). He averaged 12.6 points per game during the league season and shot 40 percent from the three-point line. After leading the nation in three-point percentage a year ago, he currently ranks No. 17 nationally on the year at 43.5
percent overall from beyond the arc.
The Pilots (20-10, 7-7 WCC) are now preparing for the 2011 Zappos.com WCC Championships this weekend at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas. Portland is the No. 5 seed and will open the first round against No. 8 seeded LMU on Friday at 6 p.m. The winner will advance to face No. 4 Santa Clara on Saturday at 6 p.m.
The Oregonian's Jim Beseda spoke with Pilots coach Eric Reveno this morning after the announcement, and he had this to say:
"They've all three had great years. Luke, in particular, has really been consistently impressive in his production. You can look at our stats 100 different ways –- wins, losses, home, away, whatever – and Luke is always producing. The only thing that you look at from a coaching perspective is, 'How do you get him more shots?' But if he gets his minutes and his opportunities, he's going to produce. And like I've said before, he's been as good a leader as anyone we've ever had off the court.
"The ironic thing is that Luke and Nem were not selected to the preseason all-conference team, but Jared was.
"Nem can shoot the ball, but I think he proved to some people that he can also score the ball in some different ways, so he's a versatile scorer. And in conference play, he's right behind Kramer (Knutson) as our third leading rebounder and done some things that have surprised some people. He's been consistent as well for us.
"And Jared has been very good. This is his third year in a row being recognized by the conference and that's impressive. That's a tough 10-man list to get on, but Jared has been key us and he's going to be missed."

2014 Honda FourTrax Foreman 4X4 ES First Ride 0
It's been 30 years since Honda introduced its very first ATV meant to make life on the farm and jobsite easier. Three years later the Foreman 4×4 was introduced. Now 27 years later, Honda has introduced the sixth generation of this four-wheeled workhorse. The latest iteration builds on the strengths of the previous model that hit the showroom floor just two years ago. We traveled to Paso Robles, California to take a spin on the private hunting grounds of Camp Five Outfitters to see how the updated 2014 FourTrax Foreman 4X4 performs on the trail and to possibly bag a wild boar with the help of the camp's guides and Weatherby Rifles.
The Foreman retains the same 475cc engine as its predecessor that features a longitudinal layout for reduced mechanical loss with a parallel drivetrain. Our test unit was an ES model, meaning it had Honda's Electric Shift Program (ESP). This gives the rider control of the gear selection via buttons on the left handlebar. Rowing through the five-speed transmission is as easy as pressing a button. Shifts are delivered with a lurch and a jerk unless you completely get out of the throttle. This can be fun after you get used to it, but at first it feels unrefined. You'll be shifting quite a bit on the trail to keep the Foreman in the meat of its low-down torque. When putting around the ranch you can leave it in second or third and forget about pressing buttons, utilizing the friendly engine character.
The chassis of the FourTrax Foreman is all new for 2014, the changes aimed at improving ride comfort and increasing durability while shaving off five pounds. The frame has been completely redesigned to optimize handling and shares nothing with the previous model. The swingarm is a new unit as well and has a rubber bushing pivot for better shock absorption and is less susceptible to damage from the elements in comparison to a bearing design. Suspension travel has been increased by half an inch both front and rear. Out on the trail the ride quality is as expected for a utility ATV – controlled and firm, yet not harsh. At sane trail speeds it is more than enough suspension to get the job done, and doesn't falter until you push the Foreman past its intended usage. The front suspension soaks up most trail irregularities while the rear will buck a bit on square-edged hits and bigger bumps.
Handling is also trail-worthy thanks to a stable feel in the corners at most speeds and angles. When really pushed (once again past the normal utility ATV usage) the front end does tuck a bit making it more difficult to come in hard on the brakes and slide out under power, but at nine-tenths it works well. Steering effort is light thanks to the Electronic Power Steering that has been reworked in terms of architecture and software. The EPS also dampens the steering when smacking into roots or ruts.
Honda has added a locking front differential for the first time dubbed TraxLok, integrating the 4X4 button and diff lock into the same switchgear. Selecting both is easy with just a press of a button for four-wheel drive while the diff lock requires a flick of the switch cover over the 4X4 button and then another press to activate. The systems work well and will allow you to climb up and over whatever you have the traction and ground clearance to negotiate.
The reverse selection switch is still a fiddly affair requiring pressing in a button and pulling the rear brake lever in. Only then you are allowed to select reverse. At this point you release the brake to move backwards. If you are a Honda ATV owner you can do it in your sleep, as it's been the same since almost the beginning. For a new user it can get annoying until you learn the steps and rhythm of the reverse process.
Honda has given the Foreman a new look with plastics that cover more of the engine, a larger front bumper, and a new seat. The seat is all-day comfortable and the reach to the bars and floorboards is comfortable for just about any sized rider.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to test the increased carrying capacity of the racks as I failed to take down a wild boar, but Honda claims an increase of 23 pounds on the front to 88 pounds and 43 pounds at the rear for a rear capacity of 176 pounds.
As the Foreman approaches nearly 30 years on the market, Honda continues to improve and add user-friendly designs to its elder statesman in the utility category. The 2014 Honda FourTrax Foreman 4X4 once again fulfills the needs of those that work and play.

Aaron Swartz was an Internet innovator. He helped develop Rich Site Summary (RSS), a method for delivering changing content on a website to users.
But in 2011, Swartz was charged with stealing millions of articles from Massachusetts Institute of Technology's digital archives. The articles were only supposed to be available to subscribers to the digital library JSTOR and MIT students.
On Friday, Swartz committed suicide rather than face a trial in April that could have sent him to prison for up to 35 years and brought a million-dollar fine.
Swartz's defenders say he sought no personal gain from the hacking of the library and only wished to make the articles available to the general public.
But United States Attorney Carmen Ortiz said that doesn't matter. USA Today quoted a statement from Ortiz at the time of the charges:
"Stealing is stealing whether you use a computer command or a crowbar, and whether you take documents, data or dollars. It is equally harmful to the victim whether you sell what you have stolen or give it away."
We agree with Ortiz. Intellectual property is property. Only the owner can decide whether to charge for it or give it away. To ignore Swartz's transgressions would have been the equivalent of telling authors there is - officially - no value to your writings.
Swartz's death is a tragedy. But the actions that eventually led to it were not heroic - they were a crime.
(Editor's Note: Some information for this editorial was garnered from a column on USA Today's website and from WhatisRSS.com - both free-access websites.)

Williams will join the 5 p.m. broadcast as an anchor and the 11 p.m. as a general assignment reporter.
But calm down, Monica Malpass/ Rick Williams fans! There's no lineup change in the works. Instead, a rep from 6ABC tells me that Williams will augment the team already in place, much as Alicia Vitarelli does for the 4 p.m. newscast.

The thesis that appendicitis in the majority of cases is a form of closed loop obstruction will be developed in this paper. It will be shown that in 80 per cent of all cases in the series the condition was on an obstructive basis and that in 67 per cent an impacted fecalith was the obstructing mechanism. It will be demonstrated that there is a direct correlation between the presence of a fecalith and subsequent development of obstruction with closed loop formation, eventuating in perforation and peritonitis if the obstruction is not overcome by expulsion of the fecalith or release of the obstruction by other means.As early as 1846 this sequence of events in appendicitis was noted by Volz1 in his monograph. He reported 46 cases in which such a series of events was observed, and he mentioned five other authors who had seen a similar pathologic

Hello, I was hoping someone could help me with a compile issue I'm
having in Visual Studio 2005 using the v6.0 Microsoft SDK. I
apologize in advance if I'm posting to any groups that don't relate to
this topic. I'm just trying to hit the groups that seem relevant.
I have an application that is installing Drivers to the OS. I was
using the UpdateDriverForPlugAndPlayDevices() function to handle
this. It works fine, but on VISTA I get prompted by Windows Security
if the Driver isn't pre-installed first. To avoid this I want to use
the DiInstallDriver() function which will Pre-Install the driver first
and then install it to any device that uses it.
The problem I'm having is that everytime I try to compile now that
I've added a reference in my code to DiInstallDriver(), I get the
following error:
Error 13 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _DiInstallDriverW
referenced in function "private: void __thiscall

I'm a relative novice in the area of C++, so ANY help would be
greatly appreciated.

The State Ports Authority said today that container shipment volume started to slow in January because of lingering concerns about a dockside strike.
Those concerns at the Port of Charleston stemmed from a recently resolved labor dispute between the East Coast longshoremen's union and a group representing ship owners.
"We said in the last meeting that January would be a bit on the dubious side," said Jim Newsome, chief executive officer of the SPA. "We had more volume in December and that translated into weaker volume in the first two weeks of January."
Operating revenue for the fiscal year was $79 million, better than $75.3 million a year ago, but 6.6 percent below plan, official reported. Pier container volume was up more than 10 percent, but 2.3 percent below plan for the fiscal year that runs through June.
The port's biggest gains recently have been coming from noncontainerized cargo, such as automobiles, power-generation equipment and industrial-sized tires. Pier tons, the measurement for such cargo, are up more than 50 percent compared to the SPA's prior fiscal year and 28 percent above projections.
Newsome reported Tuesday that the break-bulk business is a "very lucrative" and growing segment of shipping. It now includes the recent addition of wired coil shipments at SPA's Union Pier terminal.

Jordan Says SNB May Ask for Activation of Buffer in 2013
Swiss National Bank President Thomas Jordan said policy makers may ask for the activation of the so-called countercyclical capital buffer to stem developments in the mortgage and real-estate markets in 2013 at the earliest.
"We can activate it at any time, respectively make a request," Jordan told Swiss television station SF in an interview today. "We're closely observing the situation on the property and mortgage markets, and we'll regularly assess whether there's a need to make a request for activation. It has to be expected that it will only be the case in 2013."
Under the measure introduced in July, the Swiss government can force lenders to hold additional capital of as much as 2.5 percent of their domestic risk-weighted assets to counter threats to financial stability following an SNB request. While the Zurich-based central bank said in a statement today that there were "some indications of a possible slowdown" in the second quarter of the "exceptionally strong" momentum in the domestic residential mortgage and real-estate markets, Jordan called the situation still "tense."
The decision not to ask for activation of the buffer "should not be interpreted as an all-clear," the SNB said. "Interest rates are still exceptionally low and there are signs of high risk appetite in mortgage lending. As a consequence, the risk of a further buildup of imbalances and the associated risks to financial stability remain high."
Apartment Costs
In its June Financial Stability Report, the SNB said the mortgage market poses a significant risk to lenders. Home loans have increased by almost 300 billion francs ($313 billion) in a decade and gained 5.2 percent last year to 797.8 billion francs. That's about 140 percent of Swiss gross domestic product.
The cost of owner-occupied apartments with as many as five rooms has risen the most in the past 10 years, with prices jumping 40 percent, SNB data show. Prices of rental apartments have climbed 29 percent.
UBS AG and Credit Suisse Group AG, Switzerland's two biggest banks, had combined outstanding mortgages of 240.6 billion francs at the end of 2011, up 2.8 percent from the previous year. Cantonal banks, which are largely owned by the regions, had a 6 percent increase, while the cooperative-based Raiffeisen banks saw mortgages surge 7.4 percent.
Happy Banks?
Jordan, 49, said "banks are very much aware that there are risks in this situation." He also said "it's not our motivation whether banks are happy or whether they're unhappy; we're observing this market and if it makes sense from an macroeconomic perspective, we'll make a request. At the moment, we came to the conviction that it's better to wait."
The SNB will assess the impact of government measures aimed at curbing credit supply before making a decision, he said.
The government toughened lending rules last month, forcing borrowers to provide at least 10 percent of the value of the property from their own funds without using pension assets. Under the measures, mortgages will have to be paid down to two-thirds of the lending value within 20 years.
The "measures are intended to have a damping effect on real-estate prices and mortgage-market momentum," the SNB said. "The SNB will regularly reassess the need to activate the countercyclical capital buffer."

Reviews for Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake
"I ran across this recipe for a quick snack 4 me fellas,,,,l adjust it a little , I added 11/2 cup of sugar & 4 tbsp of cocoa & caramel glaze no milk or powder sugar poke holes in cake ,,my family love it thanks!"
"Icing was much too stiff. I had trouble spreading it. The cake was okay but dried out too fast Will likely make again but with a different icing"
"My famly loves this cake its very moist. For added flavor i add bananas"
"This particular recipe is very bland. I also found it very dry, even when removing the cakes early."
"EXCELLENT!! I DO substitute one of the teaspoons of soda for one teaspoon of salt, however, AND I add a dash of sweet Marsala wine, just for the heck of it. Thank you so much for posting this recipe!!!"
"Did not like this cake at all. ended up throwing it out. The icing was too dry and the cake smelled and tasted strongly of baking soda.....never used so much baking soda for anything I baked before.....recipe typo?"
"I found this to be perfect just the way it is; tastes wonderful and it's super moist. I like it with the frosting or just with a simple whipped cream. It has one down side: it's too delicious to last long!"
"Try replacing the cocoa with hot chocolate mix, but double the amount of cocoa, it makes it really good and a bit sweeter."
"My gramma gave this recipe over 40 yrs ago. I still use it to this day. The mayo takes the place of the eggs and oil. Don't try to double it as it will make the cake real heavy. Love it!"
"Totally Yum just as it is!! But to put this over the top here's what you do. Instead of vanilla in the cake use 1/2 tsp. almond extract. Then add two pinches of salt and 1 tsp of baking powder rather than baking soda. Now for the frosting make sure to use light brown sugar and add in 1 tsp of vanilla. You may need to add an additional tbsp. of powdered sugar. It's beyond amazing. My hubby (not even a chocolate fan) and I had to try really hard not to eat the whole thing in one sitting."

I like the idea... Alanna is a juicy character, i'm exicited what she's going to do in the next episode.
Author's Response: Yeah, I really, really like Alanna. I'm writing quite a bit of her, and she's like my brainchild (OC-wise, I think she's my best in the HP world so far). She's going to be sooo awesome! :P I'm glad you like the idea/fic... And thank you for the review!!!
how about Voldemort's first girlfriend, Jessica Potter, who was his first true love but cheated on him with proffessor flitwick and is the real reason why he hates harry, and is the reason why he is an evil overlord...
Author's Response: Revenge of the double post!!! >_<
how about Voldemort's first girlfriend, Jessica Potter, who was his first true love but cheated on him with proffessor flitwick and is the real reason why he hates harry, and is the reason why he is an evil overlord...
Author's Response: Hahaha!!! I like that idea, or at least something along those lines... the REAL reason why he hates Harry so much... Hehe. That's a good one. Maybe... Hmmm... Oh. Thanks for the review-ish thing, and for the suggestion, Rowena!! ;)
OH MY GOSH! Um... you win! At... life. Toenail polish! Mispronouncing 'psychiatrist' as 'nightdress'! Lord Fruitcake.! Barney! You have a gift, my friend. This is hilarious, and definitely going on my favourites.
Author's Response: OH MY GOSH x2!!!! Schmerg the Great and Awesome likes my fic!!! :P Yay! I'm so happy you like it, Schmerg! *giggles* Hehe. Well. The second chapter is almost finished, and I'll have it up before March is over! So... thank you for the review!!!! :)
I want to know why he has an obsession with killing Harry, i know all about the prophercey??? BUt why not nevill i mean it could also b him?
Author's Response: Uh...um. Yes, well, I suppose it could also be Neville, one of my less-spoken-about conspiracy theories is that JK will bring Neville out of the background and turn him into the hero at the last second... Voldy's got an obsession with killing Harry because he thinks that a half-blood (like himself) has a better chance of being able to wipe him out. Er... thanks for the review?!? *feels confused*
I'm so glad it got through finally! *huggles*
Author's Response: Me too! *huggles back* Thank you so much for your help, Hannah!! :D
this looks amusing so far! from wormtail's confusion over what to do with visitors down to the mental image of nagini drinking coca-cola (which was the idea that finally made me laugh out loud), this was quite good. thanks, and keep at it!
Author's Response: The confusion idea actually belonged to my great beta, Winged Artemis, and I really liked it. I actually put the Coca-Cola thing in and didn't think it was very funny, but... ok! Whatever makes people laugh, I'm good with it! Thank you for the review, and Chapter 2 should be up soon!!
Hahahah! This is GREAT! I LOVE it! Can't wait to see what else will happen! MJ
Author's Response: Thanks, MJ! I can't wait to see what will happen, either... I've got the whole story planned out in my head, but it will be very interesting to see how it turns out. Thanks again for the review!!!
I think its rather good! Update soon!
Author's Response: I will! Thank you for the review, I'm really happy you liked it!!! :P
Please UPDATE real soon! This story is just too good!
Author's Response: I'll update as soon as I can... it took a REEEALLY long time to get this chapter through (this is my first humor fic), so I've finished writing Chapter 2, but it's not typed out on my computer yet. But I will update soon!!! Thanks for the review; I'm glad you like it!! :)

The Houston Texans signed cornerback Stanford Routt, the Houston Chronicle reports. Routt, who had started for the Kansas City Chiefs earlier this season before being released , will provide much-needed depth in the Texans' secondary.
According to multiple reports, Routt was set to visit the Pittsburgh Steelers on Wednesday. Instead, the Texans will have him replace the roster spot of defensive back Brice McCain, who was placed on IR with a foot injury.
Routt played seven games for the Chiefs in 2012, recording two interceptions and 21 total tackles. The 29-year-old had spent his seven previous NFL seasons with the Oakland Raiders.
Although the Steelers might have offered more playing time with starting, Ike Taylor (leg) out, the Texans presented a homecoming. Routt, a native of Austin, Texas, played his college football at the University of Houston.

The Pharaoh has asked your help to design a better tomb. Seems he's concerned about the Sun's heat having less than positive effects on his body during his stay in the Hall of Judgment.
You have decided to see if insulation, materials that restrict the flow of heat, will help keep the tomb cool. But the Pharaoh is stingy. Before any changes are made to the tomb, he wants to be certain that he's not wasting his precious gold to buy insulation that's not needed.
6 Styrofoam cups and 3 lids
3 thermometers
1000 ml beaker
1. Make a prediction which cup will stay cool longest?
2. Mix 500 ml of water with enough ice to lower the temperature to 10°C (about 200 ml of ice).
3. Make a hole in the cup lids so that you can put a thermometer in the cup and still read it without removing it from the water. (Why do you think this is important?)
4. Place one cup inside another cup so you have a double insulated cup (Cup 2). Repeat the process and construct a triple insulated cup (Cup 3). Cup one is just that--one cup!
5. Carefully measure and add 150 ml of the COLD water to each set-up. Put the lids on the cups and carefully slide the thermometers into the cold water. Record the temperature of the water right away.
6. Wait one minute, and then record the new temperature in each set of cups. Record the data in your laboratory notebook. It might help if you arranged the time and temperature in a table.
7. Continue recording data every five minutes for 20 minutes or until the water temperature is about equal to air temperature.
8. Calculate and record the change in temperature for each set-up.
What are you going to recommend to the Pharaoh?
How is home insulation like the foam cups you used in the experiment? (Hint: Is there such a thing as too much insulation?)

Kenny knew of the pain, of the lonely. He knew of the lonely that grabbed your heart and squeezed it, like two hands squeezin' the life out of chickens. He knew of Mary's lonely, how the tears ran muddy down her face. Kenny knew, somehow he knew.
Mary was a virgin, she never touched a soul, and not a soul touched her. Not homely, she was pitiful sad, so pitiful sad that no one wanted to touch her. Even her brothers left her alone, not like the other girls whose brothers, or uncles, or fathers taught them of touch.
If not for the tears and the look in her eyes, she might be called pretty, but everyone could see something was wrong. Nobody talked to her, and after her daddy left and her mama died, she was alone, all alone and on the dole, slowly dying, slowly, slowly.
Kenny had found her once, got to touch her face, and in the silent darkness he moved his lips to her, kissing her soft, so soft. In the kiss he tasted her sadness, he felt her gloom in the salty sparkling tears that tumbled down her face.
Slowly he dried her tears, coaxed a small smile on her face, his kisses rolled down her neck and as she unbuttoned her blouse, Kenny kissed her breast. He whispered words of comfort as he gently squeezed her, mumblin' as he took her nipples and suckled.
He felt her breathin' get faster and he knew she wanted more, but he felt her tremblin' as his hands moved down her body. He stared into her eyes and saw the tears had gone. He whispered, "Is this what you want?"
She nodded and opened his shirt, pullin' him against her. Kenny felt her breasts press against him and moved his hands into her pants, grabbin' her soft ass. They rocked for a moment and then Mary reached down to take off her pants.
Kenny tried to be gentle, slidin' a finger in, moving his thumb on her clit and when her hips began to move he new she was almost ready. Climbin' over her he asked her one more time, ""Are you sure?"
She nodded, opening her legs wide for him and reachin' her hands to his chest. Kenny took her hands and guided them downward and whispered, "Help me get it in."
Her hand touched his cock and fumblin' a bit, finally guided him into her wet. He held his breath and pushed himself slowly inside, grittin' his teeth as she winced. Gentle as he was it hurt her, so when he came and pulled out of her, he just held her, wishin' he could scoop the pain away.
He held her tight and kissed her when it was time to go. She told him she was happy, that she would wait for him to come back. She even smiled when she said it, but Kenny saw the tears as he stepped outside her door. He told her he would write to her every day until he came back again.
The postman knew of Mary, the strange girl in 1B who peeked out her door while he filled the mail slots. She waited, sometimes hummin', sometimes singin':
the muddy, ruddy stream
the waves knows my lonely
the water knows my dream."
Most times she got a postcard, but sometimes she got nothin'. As he stepped out of the building each day, he noticed her shadow as she quickly peeked in her box and then disappeared back into 1 B.
you muddy, ruddy stream
take me deep inside you
till no one hears me scream."
Kenny knew her heartbreak; Kenny knew her pain. He needed to go to her, to somehow ease the lonely, but it was so far away. When she hurt, he hurt, a terrible pain deep in his gut. So, one day, he became a postcard and he mailed himself away. He had to get to Mary, he knew he had to go right away.
Mary walked along the river on a gray, cloudy day. She wrapped herself up in her ragged jacket and dirty scarf; you could barely see her face. And no one noticed her; no one seemed to care as she walked.
you drink up all the rain
muddy, ruddy water
please take away my pain."
When the postman saw Kenny standin' in front of 1 B he sadly shook his head. He took him down to the river and showed him where she drowned. Then, lookin' hard into his eyes, the postman saw Kenny was a postcard and knew what he had to do.
take away this postcard
don't need no postage stamp
to go where life ain't hard."

Authentic Puerto Rican food is coming to Harrisburg when the doors open Friday at Anastacias Restaurant/Bar on the 1500 block of North Sixth Street.
The restaurant -- owned by father daughter duo Ricardo and Johann Suarez -- will specialize in oxtail stew, fried pork skin, cod fish, grilled pork chops and barbecued ribs and chicken. They will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Ricardo Suarez, who is from New Jersey, named the restaurant in memory of his mother, Anastacia, who had lived in Harrisburg. During his many visits here, he noticed the area lacked a true Puerto Rican-style restaurant.
A basic menu will be served and incorporated with daily specials depending on the day of the week. Anastacias will will be open daily from 7 a.m. to 2 a.m.
