Rob Zombie Working On Hockey Flick [VIDEO]
Rob Zombie will turn from horror to hockey when he starts work on "Broad Street Bullies."
The film will chronicle the story of the infamous 1970's Philadelphia Flyers, who Rob (a hardcore Boston Bruins fan) followed as a kid.
Zombie tells Philly.com that "It's almost like 'Rocky', but it's real," he said. "When you watch 'Rocky', you go, 'God, I wish that was real.' It's sort of like 'Boogie Nights' meets 'Rocky'. I know from the five-minute conversation [with the ex-Flyers] there's a lot of good stuff besides hockey going on.
Zombie's fifth solo record "Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor" is set to be released on April 23 and three days later (April 26) Rob Zombie's sixth motion picture "The Lords Of Salem" will make its premiere.
Now no slashing while you check out the video…

Daily Discovery is a feature that will highlight a new or recently discovered artist that we're excited about. See the rest of our Daily Discoveries here.
QUAD is 18-year-old Quadry Winters, and he currently works at AutoZone in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. "I'm on the verge of being fired," he says, "because I daydream about album concepts, rhymes, and why they booed Outkast all day."
Baton Rouge has a history of rap talent, but there's a lack of youthful voices. "We all grew up on Boosie," Quad says, "and Kevin Gates hasn't been a freshman to us since '07. It's a city needing a new champion."
But QUAD is an unlikely candidate for the new champion. He doesn't sound like the other local artists, he hasn't performed yet, he doesn't have a Facebook page, and he's currently "wasting away in a community college" while pursuing a business degree. But his goals involve more than AutoZone and a degree. "The goal is to live off my creativity, and rap is just the beginning. I'd like to direct films and produce also. I want to do festivals. I want to do SXSW and Boiler Room."
Day-to-day living may still be taking up his time, but he's been taking steps toward his real goals. His first project is Dopè, an album's worth of material that shows potential, passion, and ambition that probably doesn't come across to his AutoZone bosses.
"Dopè is kinda my first real project," he says. "I locked myself in my room during fall semester and listened to Lorde, Nas, and Kanye all day, wrote music, and scoured the web for beats while moms badgered me about college."
Check out standouts "2 Lbs of Sad" and "The Vibe (High)," and check out the entire project here.

Egypt court orders release of 3 US students
Associated Press / November 25, 2011
Text size – +
A court in Egypt has ordered the release of three American students arrested during a protest in Cairo, a lawyer in Philadelphia confirmed yesterday. Derrik Sweeney, Luke Gates, and Gregory Porter, who attend the American University in Cairo, were arrested on the roof of a university building near Cairo's iconic Tahrir Square on Sunday. Officials accused them of throwing firebombs at security forces fighting with protesters.

Yeast Infections
I am immuneserpression medications for my RA(Prednisone, Methotrexate, Voltaren). My family doctor though that I had diverticulitis so he put me on two different types of antibiotics. From the antibiotics I got oral thrush and a yeast infection. He then gave me Fluconazole for the yeast infection. It worked for about 2 weeks and then the symtpoms returned. It is so sore that it is also causing some bleeding. I am also perimenapausal. What causes a reoccuring infections and what can I do to prevent them from happening?
Yeast is a very common organism found all over the body, and can sometimes be found in the vaginas of women with no symptoms. There are also healthy bacteria that normally live in the vagina and keep other organisms in check. When these bacteria are reduced, for example by taking antibiotics, or by washing out the vagina with a douche, then pathogens (organisms that can cause infection, like yeast) can grow uncontrolled and start to cause a problem. Pathogens can also grow unchecked when the immune system is weakened, and the body's natural defenses are reduced.
Various medications are available to treat yeast infections (either by mouth or directly applied to the vagina), and sometimes an extended course is necessary to get rid of the yeast for good. It is hard to replace the normal bacteria that belong in the vagina, but some doctors recommend consuming yogurt with active cultures to restore normal bacteria. Estrogen applied to the vagina might also be helpful to make the skin less sensitive and less prone to irritation from potential pathogens.

Silverglass's Art CollectionHey, y'all, and welcome to my collection-to-be! As the topic states, I'll be posting all of my Bionicle artwork here on this post/thread to spare you all the potentially numerous topics I'd end up posting otherwise, ha ha. I'll edit this post as I accumulate more art, and spiff it up as I go. I meant to start this topic with at least two or three pieces of art, but since my scanner is busted, I'll have to make do with one to start us off.Takanuva Artist's comments: You might recognize the linework from my Brickfair T-shirt contest entry. Maybe it's an artist thing or something, but I couldn't let all that linework go uncolored, ha ha. It was originally going to be a simple flat-color pic, but I guess I got carried away, which tends to happen when you find yourself awake at 3am with nothing to do. Were he not intended for a T-shirt originally, I would have added a bit more detail in the armor plating and such. I plan to start drawing my fan-characters in this style, too. And yes, the background vaguely depicts a subterranean environment because I was going to make it look as though Takanuva was heading down to Makuta's lair, but both with and without the creepy shadows I added, it didn't flow the way I'd have liked.Thanks for stopping by, and stay tuned!

With car enthusiasts primed and ready for the kickoff of the 2012 Paris Motor Show tomorrow, Porsche has dropped what could be the biggest bombshell of the show with the preliminary unveil of the Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo Concept. Uniting the next generation hybrid drive with new ideas for an evolutionary, sporty body concept, it combines Porsche performance with comprehensive everyday practicality. Featuring a parallel full hybrid, 3-liter V6 engine that pumps out 333hp, top speed in pure-electric mode is 130 km/h. The body concept of the Panamera Sport Turismo is an outlook on a possible Porsche sports car of tomorrow: the overhangs are short, and the trunk lid is large – both sporty and functional. The new liquid metal blue color gives the concept car a surface that resembles liquid metal and highlights its contours and design lines more distinctly. And finally, as a plug-in hybrid, the fluid-cooled lithium-ion battery is not only charged while driving – it can also be externally charged within 2.5 hours via a charging interface on the vehicle. Expect further detailing regarding pricing and availability following the festivities in Paris.

Should home captains be allowed to demand made-to-order pitches? What happens then to the concept of 'sporting' pitches and even more so the ideal of fair play, which is deemed intrinsic to cricket? MS Dhoni's repeated statements over the past month that he wants turners for the Tests against England have evoked widespread debate and controversy, drawing in people from all over the world including players, administrators and fans.
Some, like former Australia captain Steve Waugh, believe this would be detrimental to the spirit of the game. Waugh believes that teams should be able to prove themselves in all conditions, without contriving one to suit them.
Another great Aussie, Shane Warne, thinks Dhoni's sustained petitioning for turners is actually gamesmanship.
Warne speculates that by speaking about pitches repeatedly, Dhoni is putting pressure on the England team, knowing their susceptibility to spin.
- Dhoni slams Motera wicket
- Dhoni comments were negative, says Waugh
- Dravid backs Dhoni to remain captain
A few, however, have even taken a cynical point of view stating Dhoni is afraid of losing yet another series and therefore wants to ensure the England team has no chance of survival.
Collating these various points of view, two distinct schools of thought emerge: first, purists are aghast that a captain should have the temerity to intrude into an aspect of play that lies outside his jurisdiction; the second in which realists argue that since the captain's head is on the block, he should have his way.
I think there are merits in both points of view, but am inclined to go with the second for two reasons. One, the charm and challenge in cricket is that it's played in vastly different conditions.
Secondly, I believe that by-and-large, a captain has a say, not just in India or the sub-continent but everywhere in the world.
Let's get into both these aspects in some detail. There is not much anybody can do about the weather conditions in different countries. Some are hot, some not so hot, some distinctly cold. Moreover, some countries play cricket in summer, others in winter and some in tropical climes.
In a sense, the weather has a direct bearing on the ground conditions and pitches in different countries, but even if modern curating methods allow replicating, say, an Australian pitch in India, I would say it's a no-go.
Standardisation of playing surfaces would rob the game of the richness which stems from the vicissitude of pitches. It is this richness which makes cricket such a great sport, because it imposes on its players the need to adapt and excel in different conditions.
The fact that Dennis Lillee and Shane Warne, arguably the greatest fast bowler and greatest spinner to have played the game, could not make such a huge impact in the sub- continent at least allows scope for debate.
The other point is that no country would reduce its own prospects by deliberately preparing a pitch that does not help its own team.
That would be downright foolish.
For instance, last season, the Australia-India Perth Test was played on a flier and finished in under three days. Was that a fair pitch on which to play? Why should the argument change when India opts to prepare turning pitches for teams which are not from the sub-continent.
Of course, in neither case is a pitch which finishes a Test in three days desirable. It then transgresses the test of skills, which is what spectators want to see, and becomes one of survival because of outrageous conditions. Not just fans and players, in the modern game it impacts sponsors, broadcasters et al so it is bad news all round.
What's important is that meeting the captain's demand does not demean this game. Also, the home team must be capable of exploiting the conditions and not take victory for granted.
The first day's play in the second Test at Wankhede, where the ball turned from the first session itself, has thrown not only the challenge of survival to England but also to India.

SCHENECTADY, N.Y. – The water level of the Mohawk River is five feet higher than normal Friday morning, causing the Schenectady Police Department to be on scene to monitor its activity.
Heavy rain Thursday caused rising water levels in the Stockade neighborhood, and police went door-to-door Thursday warning residents of potential flooding. Residents say they are used to the flooding and are not very concerned.
"Basically we have a plan and when it gets to a
certain point we put that plan in place," Stockade resident Betsy Meyer said. "Im dressed in my rain gear that I
bought during Irene. We had a lot of
damage then and were not looking for anything like that this time but you never
The National Weather Service advised the river would crest by 8 a.m. Friday. The rain stopped around 4 a.m. preventing the river from rising any higher.
Jumping Jacks restaurant, which was hit hard by Irene,
only had a little water in the parking lot.
As far as this rain, this area dodged a bullet. But again, the people living here are used to
the risk of high waters.
"We watch, but we don't get too nervous," said

I have a Z shaped deviated septum according to the plastic surgeon/ENT and I also am doing Rhinoplasty to remove a hump on my nose. I have no insurance (currently unemployed) and will be paying for both surgeries out-of-pocket.
Is there any way the surgeon can lower the cost of one or the other in this case? I am financing but am short on what I got approved for by maybe $1000. Currently a SAHM and am planning to return to work after recovery preferably. I've been waiting for years for this chance and this is the best time since I'm home. Help!

Anton Yelchin
Most Hollywood insiders are picking Shia LaBeouf as this generation's next big movie star, if he isn't already. But with the rise of young Anton Yelchin, Shia's spot as the next big thing suddenly isn't so secure. If you don't recognize the Alpha Dog and Charlie Bartlett star yet, wait until the end of the summer when Yelchin's next two films Star Trek and Terminator Salvation rule the box office. You heard it here first.
AppealIt would be a complete waste of time for us to sit here and try to convince you that Anton Yelchin is sexy. His dorky exterior just doesn't do justice to the old soul that lies beneath. Instead, watch his performance as Zack Mazursky in Alpha Dog, where he winds up in a swimming pool threesome with mega babes Amanda Seyfried and Amber Heard. We're uncontrollably jealous.
SuccessAfter several guest appearances on shows like Curb Your Enthusiasm and Law and Order: Criminal Intent and a recurring role on Huff, Anton Yelchin made a move to the big screen and hasn't looked back. He officially became one to watch after plum roles in David Duchovny's House of D, and Nick Cassavetes' Alpha Dog, but didn't headline his own film until last year when he played the title character in the high school comedy Charlie Bartlett. This summer, Yelchin can kiss whatever semblance of anonymity he has goodbye, when he boards the Starship Enterprise in J.J. Abrams' Star Trek, and then fights machines alongside Christian Bale in McG's Terminator Salvation. That's two -- count 'em -- two blockbuster movies for Yelchin in not only one summer, but one month. Shhh. Do you hear that? That's the sound of Tom Cruise being jealous.
Anton Yelchin BiographyAnton Yelchin was born in Leningrad in 1989, during the throes of communist Russia. His parents -- Irina Korina and Viktor Yelchin -- were national ice skating stars and were banned from participating in the 1972 Olympic games due to their Judaism. Clearly, the Yelchins and The Soviet Union didn't mesh well, so they moved to the United States in September of 1989, and received status as refugees from political and religious oppression. Yelchin attended the Sherman Oaks Center for Enriched Studies, in Tarzana, California, and began acting when he was just nine years old. Off the bat, Yelchin landed roles in the independent film A Man is Mostly Water and A Time for Dancing before hitting the jackpot with a role in Steven Spielberg's alien abduction mini series, Taken.
anton yelchin meets anthony hopkinsWhen he was just 12, Anton Yelchin was fortunate enough to work with a living legend. Starring opposite Sir Anthony Hopkins in 2001's Hearts in Atlantis, Yelchin befriended the actor who in turn took his budding colleague under his wing. To this day, Yelchin maintains that his time with Hopkins has had the biggest effect on his career. "He's incredible to witness," he says. "It's a presence when he does something, because you're consumed by him. For a moment, he creates something insane. It's captured on film. I have had a pretty short career. I wish I could say the milestones. Everything is important to me... but then working with Anthony Hopkins is huge."
anton yelchin stars in alpha dogWhen Nick Cassavetes' film Alpha Dog hit theaters, the attention of both critics and audiences was aimed at Justin Timberlake and his first major role in a film. However, once everyone got over the fact that "OMG! Justin Timberlake can't act," focus shifted toward the appealing Anton Yelchin who payed Zack Mazursky. The role was based on the real-life tragic tale of Nicholas Markowitz, a victim of both kidnap and murder. His charming, and at times heartbreaking, performance was hailed as the best thing in an otherwise mediocre film, and for many it signaled the arrival of a genuine talent. Ironically, it was Timberlake's character who committed the murder, probably because he was sick of being out-acted by the young thesp. Makes sense.
anton yelchin owns the summerMost actors would leap at the chance to star in just one summer blockbuster over the course of their career. Anton Yelchin has already starred in two. In the same summer. In the same month. He's 20.
First up, Yelchin stars as Pavel Chekov in J.J. Abrams' highly touted franchise reboot Star Trek. When that film's box office reign begins to fade, and audiences start yearning for their Yelchin fix, McG's Terminator Salvation -- in which Yelchin plays freedom fighter Kyle Reese -- will bring the actor back to the top where he belongs. So take it from us: Anton Yelchin isn't just poised for a breakout this summer, he's set to soar through space, obliterate some baddie robots from the future, and come back down to earth as a bona fide movie star.

Hulk Vs Wolverine: A Comic Book History Of Claws And Roars!
We all love a good versus fight – from Mortal Kombat to Super Smash Bros. Melee, there is nothing better than seeing two of your favorite characters duke it out on screen. The MCU is no exception, with this year's Captain America: Civil War arguably being one big battle. With most of the Avengers 'all duked out', there must be something more on the horizon though? Enter the 2012 comic-series Avengers vs. X-Men, which even already . The story opens a whole world of opportunities in cinema for Xavier's mutants to take on the mighty Avengers. If so, there would only be one battle that everyone would be talking about – Hulk vs. Wolverine!
Back in 2014 to the two butting heads, but is this just a pipe dream? Sure we had the animated Hulk vs. Wolverine, but we demand more, goddamit! , we forget (quite literally) Wolverine's biggest foe. We have seen the mean Green Fighting Machine go up against the Clawed Canadian a lot in their 54 years together – so this is their story.
1. Setting The (Green) Scene
Let's go back to the start…after appearing in the last panel of "The Incredible Hulk #180", Wolverine was keen to make a bold first impression, and boy did he in "The Incredible Hulk #181". Wolverine was working for the Canadian government as the pair teamed up to take on the cannibalistic Wendingo. Wolverine made light work of the Wendingo and sliced him faster than a sushi roll. Hulk decided the "enemy of my enemy is also my friend" and it looked like the start of a beautiful friendship for Hulk and Wolverine. Any thoughts of friendship were abruptly dashed when Hulk had a change of heart and knocked ten bells out of Wolverine! Painted originally as a villain, Wolverine was heavily hyped in the ads for "Hulk #181" – little did we know about his lasting impression.
Whilst he definitely isn't the most dangerous new super-villain ever, he isn't a hero either. From the star, Logan was the gruff anti-hero we have come to love! Rumors circled that Wolverine was originally meant to be a werewolf-esque creature who could transform from a real Wolverine, something co-creator Len Wein is none too happy about. Responding on his own blog, :
While I readily admit that my original idea was for Wolvie's claws to extend from the backs of his gloves … I absolutely did not ever intend to make Logan a mutated wolverine…The mutated wolverine thing came about long after I was no longer involved with the book.
The berserker rage of this rumor still pesters Wein to this day!
2. A Kick In The Guts
1988 was not only the year that Wolverine began his very-own ongoing series, but it was also the year that brought us the iconic comic book cover from "Incredible Hulk #340". So, 160 issues after they first met, is there still bad blood? The answer is yes…and it is green! As Hulk accidentally downs a plane, it is saved by Rogue from the X-Men, sparking Wolverine to open up old wounds and take on the Green (Grey) Giant. Apart from Todd McFarlane's stellar artwork, what makes this issue more important is Wolverine actually has the upper-hand…for a while. Round 1 left Hulk's guts spilled on the floor, but thanks to his regeneration powers, he got up for more. Clay Quartermain came and crashed the party, splitting the two up before we ever got Round 2 – what a party pooper!
3. 'Claws' For Thought
What are ? Well if you are going off 1999's "Incredible Hulk #8", it would appear Twiglets! Adding the list of Wolverine's biggest ouchies, we pick up the story of an Adamantium-less Logan after Magneto tore out his skeleton during the "Fatal Attractions" storyline. Foolishly, Logan decides this would be a good time to once again take on the Emerald King. A bone-clawed Wolverine had previously taken on Hulk in "The Incredible Hulk #454", but this time he has learnt a thing or two. Wolverine manages to poke out Banner's eyes, in an epic Kill Bill moment, but Hulk gets his revenge by stomping his claws to dust! We later learn that Hulk was actually fighting a Skrull Wolverine, but we will let that one slide because it was an epic beat-em-up.
4. X-Actly What You Deserve
Away from your typical punch-ups, you need to take in the many alternative realities and 'What If?' scenarios. Enter World War Hulk, a dystopian mini-series which has Hulk returned from his exile in space to research Prof. X's involvement with the Illuminati. A showdown at the mansion results in a Battle Royale of Hulk vs. mutants and Wolverine once again steps up to the plate. A nod to the injuries sustained by boxers, Hulk rattles Wolverine's brain around in his skull to cause concussion, in a rather scientific way to defeat the beast. This wasn't enough though, an armor-clad Hulk then knocks Wolverine clean out of the X-Mansion like a baseball and moves onto the rest of the team.
5. For Old Time's Sake
Once , Old Man Logan is arguably the only time we have ever seen Wolverine defeat Hulk…I know, who knew it was even possible? We challenge you to find a better image than an aged Wolverine bursting out of apocalyptic Hulk's body! The Hulk/Banner we have is a Thor-murdering monster, which some say was created created when the radiation finally wormed its way inside Bruce's skull. After the massacre of superheroes, Banner marries She-Hulk and they have generations of children known as the Hulk Gang. Wolverine owed rent to Hulk's offspring and Banner killed off Wolverine's family, which set this battle in motion. In a Kill Bill fashion, Wolves kills off the Banners one by one, before confronting the big man himself. Hulk confesses that he wanted a fight like their "old days", and boy do we get one! Being devoured by Banner, Logan heals in his stomach before bursting out in full Little Red Riding Hood style – someone pass the indigestion tablets!
6. A Battle Of Two Halves
Finally, there is no way that you an cover a HvW article without touching on the incredible storyline which left Logan torn in two for THREE years. Set between "Ultimate X-Men issue 69 and 71" and "Ultimates 2 #11", the Ultimate Wolverine vs Hulk series was penned by LOST's Damon Lindelof (hence the mystery). The plot sees Nick Fury recruit Wolverine to assassinate Hulk in Tibet and the two come to blows. With two issues under their belt, the creative team took a rather unsolicited break with no explanation, which grew and grew from 2006-2009. Banner literally tears Logan in half and leaves him for dead (for three years technically). When the series picks back up Wolverine is alive and well – being a keen Canadian tracker, drags his intestinal tract up a mountain and goes on to find Hulk. Filled with beautifully gory artwork, the introduction of She-Hulk and an ending that is well worth the wait, Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk may just be their greatest showdown ever!
7. Throwing Down The Gauntlet
I isn't all Doctor Doom and gloom though. During "Infinity Gauntlet #3" the pair share a rare moment of clarity on a rooftop. Whilst the rest of the world is caught up in the hype of Thanos, Wolverine and Hulk take a moment out to reflect on their bloody history together. Unfortunately the truce never gets a chance to reach its full potential as Wolverine soon has his skeleton obliterated by Thanos! Don't worry, it was one of those typical short-lived Wolvey deaths, and he would go on to chop off Thanos's arm eventually.
So, will the two ever be able to truly bury the hatchet? We hope not! Torn ribs, destroyed bone claws and K.O hits give us some of the best battles that Marvel has to offer. Every battle still begs the question, "Can Wolverine actually ever beat Hulk?". We would guess not! Apart from the alternative future of chest-busting, Wolves gets his ass handed to him on every single occasion. In Wolverine (3rd series) #50 he even states how crazy he must have been to ever think he could take on Hulk, but this has never stopped him before. There are only so many times that the two can face-off, so what is next? , but I wouldn't hold your breath! What we are much more likely to see first is a Legacy Heroes Showdown. Could the comics be about to give us another ultimate showdown, and will ? Here's hoping, bub!
Would you like to see the two titans go head to head in cinemas? Sound off below!

PlayStation Vita: Fill Out Survey For 1000 Yen PSN Ticket
Sony is offering PlayStation Vita owners a free ¥1,000 PlayStation Network ticket. All they have to do is fill out a web survey.
The campaign starts today, March 9, and includes all current Vita owners and, for a limited time, new buyers.
We don't know specifics beyond this. Sony actually hasn't announced the campaign outside of this image that has supposedly been posted at some retailers:
The image uses Sony's recent Vita marketing art and themes. The screen in the image says "If you had ¥1,000, how would you use it?"
Assuming the image is legit, we can probably expect formal announcement of this campaign (along with, hopefully, a URL) during tonight's PlayStation Vita Game Heaven webcast.

So off the top of your head how many soy products can you name? Not many? Well neither could I until I made it my mission this summer to learn all about soy. After learning about what some soy products were, my next question was 'how available are soy products?'
I started my search at "Healthy Habitz" in Frankenmuth thinking it would have more soy products than the local grocery store. I found a small selection, such as soy flour, miso (fermented soybean paste), soy ice cream (the only place I found this), and soy milk.
I then headed to the local Kroger store. They also had a small selection of soy flour, soy milk (in various flavors), and vegetable oil (which is actually soybean oil... who knew?!).
The largest selection of soy products I found was at Meijer. Along with the items listed above, I found soy meat products such as soy burgers, bacon, sausage, hot dogs and chicken tenders (Boca, Morning Star, and Gardein were three brands that
carried all kinds of products containing soy), soy yogurt (in eight different flavors!), edamame (which is a green soybean), TV dinners containing tofu, and a product similar to rice cakes called "soy crisps."
Although you have to be aware of what you're looking for, and actually willing to search for it, soy products are pretty readily available even in local supermarkets.
I actually bought a tofu TV dinner, barbecue flavored "soy crisps," soy burgers, soy "crumbles," edamame, soy
yogurt, and soy milk. I'm excited to try out some recipes using these products! Don't worry - I'll let you know how they taste! My first soy recipe was a success, and I'm looking forward to more where that came from.
If anyone has any "soy tips" or knows of any other stores that carry soy products I would love to hear from you.
Also if anyone knows of any great soy recipes please let me know since my summer of soy is just beginning! I am excited to try my next soy recipe... what do you think it should be?
Recipe: Soy Yogurt Berry Pops
2 (6 ounces each) cartons soy yogurt, strawberry or blueberry flavored
1 cup strawberries or blueberries frozen
Puree all ingredients in a blender until smooth.
Pour mixture into 5 ounce paper cup or 1/2 cup popsicle mold.
Place popsicle stick in center of mixture. Repeat to make 3 more popsicles.
Freeze at least 2 hours until firm.

I have these,
curl -v -H "Authorization: Bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJpc3MiOiJodHRwczovL3N0YWdlLmlkcC5zYWRkbGViYWNrLmNvbS8iLCJhdWQiOiJod42RwOi8vbXlvbmxpbmVzbWFsbGdyb3VwLmNvbS8iLCJuYmYiOjEzODA1NjE1NzYsImV4cCI6MTM4MDU2NTE3Nn0.frMpom25eD2ls0UQh8Jk86bbXv5SOextRdQQfJuOboY" http://stage.api.test.com/Individual?id=1
So how to code this using PHP CURL?
Also I'm not sure the -v and -H option of the CURL above?, Is that the JAVA CURL option?
Thanks in advance.
Curl -H is the header and -v is just verbose mode. So essentiall you just need a way to set the header in curl:
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://stage.api.test.com/Individual?id=1");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
'Authorization: Bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJpc3MiOiJodHRwczovL3N0YWdlLmlkcC5zYWRkbGViYWNrLmNvbS8iLCJhdWQiOiJod42RwOi8vbXlvbmxpbmVzbWFsbGdyb3VwLmNvbS8iLCJuYmYiOjEzODA1NjE1NzYsImV4cCI6MTM4MDU2NTE3Nn0.frMpom25eD2ls0UQh8Jk86bbXv5SOextRdQQfJuOboY'
if(curl_error($ch)) throw new exception(curl_error($ch));
print curl_exec($ch);
@K. Wofe ;
Very very helpful dude.
I have another Java Curl codes I guess,
curl -u lms:09U1bx6qqHWW8MCIyjQi https://stage.idp.sample.com/issue/simple/?realm=http%3A%2F%2Fmyonlinesmallgroup.com%2F
So what is -u ?And how to do that in PHP curl?
Okay I get it now, It means,
u: This specifies the user and password
I have another questions,
I have these codes below, and it authenticate the username and password of a user.
function curl_auth() {
$url = "https://stage.idp.samplesite.com/issue/simple/?realm=http%3A%2F%2Fmyonlinesmallgroup.com%2F";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
// send the username and password
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "username:password");
// if you allow redirections
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
// this lets cURL keep sending the username and password
// after being redirected
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_UNRESTRICTED_AUTH, 1);
$output = curl_exec($ch);
echo $output;
So what happened if the username and password is correct?What is the value of $output ?
That depends entirely on the remote service and how they handle things like invalid credentials. One thing I see though is that you took out my function checking for curl_error($ch); You need this to capture things such as timeouts.

TEL AVIV (Jan. 16)
The butchers' strike here, which lasted two months, was called off today after the government agreed to increase the price of meat to meet demands of the butchers.
Despite the fact that the strike lasted eight weeks, it passed nearly unnoticed since no meat was distributed to the population. This week one-quarter of a pound of meat was rationed to each person and it is thought that there will be three more distributions between now and Passover which begins early in April.

Attacks on pipelines have brought oil exports from southern Iraq to a complete halt, a senior oil official said Monday, according to The AP.
Oil flows out of the southern pipelines, which are responsible for 90 percent of Iraq's exports, stopped late Sunday and were not likely to resume for at least a week, an official from South Oil Co. said.
A halt in southern oil exports costs Iraq some $60 million a day in lost income at current global crude prices, said Walid Khadduri, an oil expert who is chief editor of the Cyprus-based Middle East Economic Survey. (menareport.com)

THE STRUGGLE FOR IRAQ: THE WHITE HOUSE; In First Comments on Case, Bush Promises Justice in Military Investigation of Civilian Deaths
By SHERYL GAY STOLBERG; David S. Cloud contributed reporting for this article.
Published: June 1, 2006
President Bush said Wednesday that he was troubled by the allegations that American marines killed 24 Iraqi civilians in an unprovoked attack, and he vowed that ''those who violated the law, if they did, will be punished.''
''I am troubled by the initial news stories,'' Mr. Bush said in his first public comments about the accusations. ''I am mindful that there is a thorough investigation going on. If, in fact, the laws were broken, there will be punishment.''
Mr. Bush also said he had spoken with Gen. Peter Pace, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, about the killings last November in the Iraqi town of Haditha, 150 miles northwest of Baghdad. As many as 24 civilians there died in gunfire after a Marine patrol was attacked, and survivors say many of the victims were offering no resistance. ''I know this,'' Mr. Bush said. ''I've talked to General Pete Pace about the subject, who is a proud marine, and nobody is more concerned about these allegations than the Marine Corps.'' Mr. Bush spoke in response to a question from a reporter during an appearance with President Paul Kagame of Rwanda.
The killings, first reported in March by Time magazine, represent the most serious allegations of military misconduct in Iraq since reports in 2004 that soldiers had abused prisoners at the American-run military prison at Abu Ghraib. Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld was taken to task by the president at that time for failing to inform him promptly.
On Wednesday, mindful of that history, White House officials were trying to put together a timeline of who knew what and when.
Tony Snow, the White House press secretary, said officials had put together ''a tick-tock on Haditha,'' beginning about Nov. 19, 2005, the day the 24 Iraqis were killed in the aftermath of a roadside bombing that killed one of the marines assigned to the Third Battalion, First Marine Regiment. But Mr. Snow said the ''concern about subsequent reports of people being massacred or people being killed was really stimulated'' in January, after Time reporters made inquiries.
The military began an investigation on Feb. 14, and Mr. Bush was informed of it sometime after that by his national security adviser, Stephen J. Hadley, according to Frederick Jones, the National Security Council spokesman. Mr. Jones said Mr. Hadley could not recall a precise date.
At the Pentagon, the press secretary, Eric Ruff, said Mr. Rumsfeld was first told about the Haditha accusations in mid-March. He said senior military officers described to Mr. Rumsfeld what had been learned in an initial investigation and plans for opening a criminal inquiry. At that time, Mr. Ruff said, the secretary ''was trying to determine how comprehensive the investigation was and whether it was being handled at a senior enough level.''
But it is not clear whether Mr. Rumsfeld personally briefed the president on the episode.
With polls showing the American public deeply uneasy over the course of the war, and the Congressional midterm elections just months away, the Haditha investigation could quickly turn into a political problem for the White House and Republicans. On Capitol Hill, Senator John W. Warner of Virginia, the Republican chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, has said he will hold hearings after Congress returns from recess.
The Pentagon has said military investigators are wrapping up work on two separate inquiries, including a criminal investigation that American officials say they expect to result in murder charges. One senior Republican Congressional aide said the members of his party on Capitol Hill were nervous about the political impact of the episode and wanted to get information out quickly to avoid a ''drip, drip'' of news stories leading up to November.
''You've got an election that the White House is doing everything possible to prevent from being a forum on the president and Iraq,'' said the aide, speaking on condition of anonymity to avoid appearing to criticize Republicans. ''And here you have the biggest P.R. problem since Abu Ghraib running right smack into the summertime before a major campaign.''

I met a friend for coffee this week, and we started talking about the Combined Sections Meeting in Chicago and our plans to participate in some of the APTA and WPTA events this spring. Eventually the conversation shifted to the APTA in general and the pros and cons of being a member. My friend pointed out that for chiropractors and medical doctors, membership to their respective professional associations is a requirement of their license. Some companies (in any profession) require their employees to be members of their professional association so the corporation can market itself as having 100-percent involvement in those areas. I didn't know that.
When I was in physical therapy school, it was "strongly encouraged" to be an APTA member, and we were required to have a copy of the APTA's Guide to Physical Therapy Practice book. The Guide was integrated into many projects and assignments throughout the three years in school. The APTA website was extremely helpful in finding research articles or news related to physical therapy and was a good resource throughout the years in school. The year after I graduated, my alma mater made APTA membership a requirement of the physical therapy program. I'm not sure if it is still a requirement.
There's a difference between mandating students and mandating professionals to be members of their professional association. Students are finishing school with a nice DPT degree and a student loan debt higher than many American mortgages. Adding additional costs for APTA membership (although discounted) only adds to the mounting debt crisis and at some point educators need to decide if those requirements are justified. Professionals, on the other hand, have an income and are better able to provide the out-of-pocket costs to become a member.
If APTA memberships were required of all professional physical therapists, membership would increase from around 30 percent (currently) to 100 percent. That means the funding for lobbyists who fight for our rights as practitioners and research funds would be substantially more than what they are accustomed to working with. Can you imagine how much the physical therapy profession could achieve with that amount of resources? As cliché as it sounds, if everyone would contribute, we could accomplish more together.
So, is it fair to ask everyone to be a member? Currently the APTA adjusts its services, including its website, to draw more professionals to join. The organization is constantly measuring the needs of the professionals and working to support all physical therapists. If everyone were a member, would APTA have the same drive? If increasing membership is a motivating factor for the APTA, how would its work change if membership was maxed out?
What do you think? Regardless of your views of the APTA, how would any business change if its sales were at the maximal levels? Would the quality of the company remain at its highest standard?
I believe each individual makes an excellent point on behalf of PT's, but what about the PTA? The APTA makes no true allowances or pratical pathways for us. The concept of levels or "specialties" is completely unrealistic. It has always been my belief that the APTA has looked at PTA's as a necessary evil that unfortunately may be losing stride with the increasing gap in education. This expansion is slowly being recognized by some insurance companies and as reported by Advance magazine, reimbursement is lost due to denials. What is the APTA doing to ensure that PTA's do not lose their jobs at the conclusion of Vision 2020?
So, when Vision 2020 occurs- do us old timer's with JUST a Bachelor's degree become obsolete? Would I have to quit working so that all the PTs in 2020 will have their DPT? Already, in the paper there are job openings that REQUIRE a master's degree that I just don't have. I really don't want to go back to school (even online) to get my master's so that I can go back to school for a transitional DPT so that I can get a different job in the future. Why weren't we grandfather'd in to having Master's anyway? I've been at this for 25+ years.
I also believe that basically, the doctorate should be for those wanting to pursue it and not mandatory.
Over the last 20+ years I have witnessed our profession losing autonomy, losing various areas of our profession (ie. cardiac rehab, wound care, chest PT). We have had direct access in my state for almost as long as I have been a therapist, yet it means nothing due to insurance regulations. As therapists we were experienced direct care providers. Now the push is to supervise more PTA's and push paper. Over the last several years most organizations have decided that we no longer know how to dress professionally and insist on scrubs or worse yet, polo shirts. I'm sorry, but I do not want to look like the person at Footlocker or Walmart. The APTA has not done anything to help my profession or me that encourages me to renew my membership.
Curtis- THANK YOU so much for clarifying. I apologize for not confirming my information before writing it in this blog.
I am a chiropractor and have many friends who are physicians and I can tell you your information is absolutely wrong. There is no mandatory membership for DCs and MDs. In fact, only about 25%-30% of DCs and MDs are part of their trade association (AMA, ACA, etc.).
Toni... good point, but for me, my point that I stated earlier was enough for me to decide to let my membership go... as I did about 5 years ago. Your overview and personal take boils down to the basic premise... 70% of PTs have chosen not to be a member of the APTA for various reasons. Fact is... the APTA is not representing the majority of PTs and we are letting them know ...with our NONmembership! We all have our reasons and some PTs share your reason(s)/priorities, but not all. The bottom line.. is the bottom line...70% say "NO"!
Everyone makes a valid point. But I think there is another piece to this puzzle. We need to be asking why so many of us aren't members. Saying it is expensive only goes so far. Jeane mentioned adapting Vision 2020. That doesn't go far enough. The problem may be that PTs and PTAs see no benefit or value in being a member.
Think about it. The APTA talks abouts about lobbying for us, direct access, discounts on education etc. But what does that mean to the average therapist? Not a whole lot. Direct acess will mainly affect outpatient ortho.
What about brand recognition? That has been identified as a problem. Yet many people still think of us as massagers or sports med if they even know what we do. I'm still referred to as "the nurse" by patients.
If APTA wants more members then it needs to adjust it's focus to what the average, every day therapist cares about: salary, job security, etc. When people start seeing a benefit of membership more will join.
When the APTA adjusts the Vision for 2020 to meet the needs of ALL the PT profession...including those who have practiced for over 30 years.... perhaps the membership will increase. PT should be a master's degree... and us "old timers" should be grandfathered in (just like our OT colleagues). DPT should be available to those who want that route, but it should not be mandatory. The PT profession via the APTA/schools is "shooting itself in the foot"! Soon... PT's will be in short numbers..... Oh my ,is that what the 2020 Vision is truly about after all?...
How about if everyone who owns a gun join the NRA. Imagine what the lobbyist could do with that kind of money and the support they could garnish from congress.
If you do not believe in an organizations mission or only part of it why waste money on it. Now we see what kind of influence the national organization has when they mandate students to join. Seems like the APTA has been lobbying PT schools heavily to secure funds not all students can afford.
The Red Cross has never forced anyone to donate money, yet people like me do. Maybe the APTA should take lessons from them.
I agree with you Dean- the data speaks loudly. If 70% of PTs are not associated with the APTA, then something isn't right. Most APTA members I know argue that it's important to be a member to maintain our research funds and money towards legislature- which I agree are important, but a professional association should do much more than that.
Thanks, also, for the comparison to the UK side of things. Interesting to see the differences.
Yes, with more financial support, any organization could accomplish a lot more. But what if it is not what I want that organization to do? Or what if I don't like the way they go about doing what they do?
No, I speak with my checkbook. I write checks happily to organizations that I believe speak for me and work on my behalf. When an organization is able to capture only 30% of the professionals it targets, the problem is not with the professionals. The problem is that nobody believes that what the organization does is worth writing a check for. The Chartered Society of Physiotherapists in the UK has over 95% of the registered physiotherapists as members. Membership is not mandatory, not even in the NHS. So why the difference? They work really hard on behalf of the profession here and they speak for physios of all types, not simply private practitioners or musculoskeletal physios. I happily write them a check every year. There is perceived value for the money. Like 70% of the American PTs I don't see the value for the money with the APTA so I'm not going to write them a check.

I was getting caught up on my Jillian Michaels podcasts and one of the listeners emailed a question about how to fuel for a marathon in a more natural, organic way.
I thought this was a good question, because even though the gels and bars seem to be effective for most, I don't really feel much different when I use them. I do better with real food -- my race breakfast is always an Ezekiel English Muffin with an egg and lowfat cheese (I didn't have an egg for Danskin.... oh well -- shoot! Maybe if I did, my run would have been better! LOL )
It's no secret Jillian hates the electrolyte drinks and bars, so her first suggestion was oranges... we used them as kids for sports and they were fine then, and are just as fine now. Portability is probably an issue still while doing a marathon, but you get what she's saying.
But this was really interesting... as for a drink replacement shen suggested her new favorite
The product is all natural, 100% coconut water. 's only 60 calories, fat free and loaded with potassium!
Anyway, I'm off today to visit my local Whole Foods to find this product. I'll be back later with more info on it. :)
Checked out the other nutritional values on the other flavors: Not. Pouch. Friendly. Too much sugar in the other varieties. Sad, because the Acai flavor has the Omegas in it; a nice little health benefit.

For race days, I love either oat bran with protein powder, or the 1-minute muffin recipe
(1 egg, 1/4 cup flax meal, 1 tsp brown sugar, 1 tablespoon pumpkin, cinnamon, 1/4 tsp of baking powder) mix and microwave in a silicone muffin cup for about a minute.
Sticks with me without making me full.

Here are two emerging-markets debt CEFs we like.
Of course, emerging markets are not without risk. Investments can be affected by a host of issues over which investors have no control, including political and economic policy, environmental challenges, and changes in foreign currency exchange rates. On top of those risks, many emerging-markets securities are often thinly traded and local exchanges are off-limits to most foreign investors, making it difficult for individuals to invest directly. Traditional open-end mutual funds are often a top choice for exposure to emerging markets, but it can be difficult for a large mutual fund to manage fund inflows and outflows without pushing prices in adverse directions due to limited liquidity. What's more, retail flows tend to be particularly unpredictable in the emerging-markets space. Flows into the $75 billion emerging-markets bond category, for example, have been volatile over the last year, even as the category gathered a net $4.2 billion in assets over the trailing 12 months ended Oct. 31.
The CEF wrapper mitigates some of these liquidity risks because managers do not have to make allowances for sudden inflows and outflows of cash. But investors are beholden to the whims of the market, which can wreak havoc in the short term on share prices. Investors experienced this firsthand during the so-called taper tantrum in May and June: The average share price for emerging-markets bond closed-end funds dropped nearly 11% in the second quarter of 2013; most of the drop occurred during the latter half of May. In June, the average share price continued to fall another 8%. Net asset value declines were more moderate during May and June but still stung. The typical fund's NAV fell 4.6% in May and 5.6% in June. This illustrates a significant benefit of CEFs, as share prices do not always track NAV movements and investors can snap up deeply discounted shares in times of market stress.
Funds We Like
Options abound in the CEF space for investors to access both emerging-markets equity and debt (sovereign and corporate), though many of the equity funds are single country focused and are often very small and thinly traded. Two of our favorites are large and well-diversified funds run by experienced management teams who also oversee open-end funds with similar strategies. Both funds generally avoid leverage (only five emerging-markets-focused CEFs use a significant amount of leverage). By choosing a CEF over a similarly managed open-end fund, investors often collect higher distribution rates and have the ability to purchase shares at a significant (absolute and relative) discount.
Western Asset Emerging Markets Debt ESD
Despite a recent downgrade to a Morningstar Analyst Rating of Bronze from Silver mostly due to an increasing expense ratio, we still like Western Asset Emerging Markets Debt ESD for its superior risk-adjusted results over the long term. Further, because of its international presence, we believe Western Asset is more than equipped to run this fund (and its open-end sister Western Asset Emerging Markets Debt SEMDX), which it acquired from Citigroup in 2005. The firm's emerging-markets team has offices in four countries and meets at least every two weeks to discuss potential investments in their respective regions. With a large portion of the fund's portfolio invested in Latin America, the team's Sao Paulo office is particularly useful. Head portfolio manager Keith Gardner has been managing assets for the firm since 1994 and was named manager of this fund in September 2008. His investment career has focused specifically on international investments for more than two decades.
The fund splits its allocation among emerging-markets corporate debt, local-currency sovereign debt, and U.S. dollar-denominated sovereign debt, though holdings tend to be concentrated in Latin America and Eastern Europe. Gardner overweights or underweights countries and regions relative to the JPMorgan Emerging Markets Bond Global Index based on valuation metrics and outlook. While the fund can use leverage, it has not since October 2008 (between 2005 and October 2008, portfolio leverage was usually lower than 5%). Derivatives are often used to manage duration and currency exposure and occasionally to gain access to local currency markets.
During Gardner's tenure, the fund beat its emerging-markets bond CEF, ETF, and open-end peer group average in 89% of rolling three-year periods ended November 2013. On a total return basis, the fund gained 7.2% between September 2008 and November 2013, compared with the peer average return of 7.3%. Overall, the fund hasn't delivered chart-topping returns, but managers have been thoughtful risk-takers and have avoided some of the riskier emerging-markets countries. The fund's 12% discount as of Dec. 3 boosted its distribution at share price to more than 8.5%, higher than most of its CEF peers. While the current discount is not overly attractive on a relative basis (the one-year z-score is negative 1.4), it is more undervalued than most of its CEF peers.
Templeton Emerging Markets Income TEI
Star manager Michael Hasenstab runs this (and other emerging-markets CEFs) alongside a few better-known open-end funds including Gold-rated Templeton Global Bond TPINX. Templeton Emerging Markets Income TEI invests in global fixed-income securities, both government and corporate, with a focus on emerging-markets economies. Hasenstab manages currency exposure through currency forward contracts but leaves some currency exposure unhedged. As of Aug. 31, 83% of the fund's currency exposure was to the U.S. dollar with small exposures to the real, peso, Ghanaian deci, and Serbian dinar.
Templeton's well-resourced team is spread across continents, and on-the-ground-research is an important part of the process. Hasenstab doesn't construct portfolios with traditional issuance-weighted global-bond benchmarks in mind, which are skewed toward the world's most-indebted developed markets. Instead, he and his team aim to identify value among currencies, credits, and interest rates in countries with healthy or improving fundamentals that they think the market doesn't appreciate. Hasenstab is known for his slow (often glacial) portfolio turnover, and this fund is no different. The latest fiscal year's turnover was 14.5%, lower than nearly all of its peers.
Over the trailing five- and 10-year periods ended Dec. 3, the fund's NAV gains beat 95% of CEF, ETF, and open-end emerging-markets bond peers. These chart-topping returns have not come with excessive volatility. The fund's Sharpe ratios have been significantly higher than peers over the same periods and its standard deviations lower.
While the fund's 2.6% discount as of Dec. 3 is less enticing than some CEF peers on an absolute basis, the fund's one-year z-statistic was negative 0.80, indicating the valuation is fair. The small discount boosts the distribution rate at share price to nearly 7%, which is slightly lower than the peer average. Investors should note that the fund generally pays $0.25 per share each quarter for the first three quarters of the year and generally pays a year-end capital gains and income distribution that can be significant; these year-end distributions are not included in the calculation of the aforementioned distribution rate. For 2013, the special distribution was recently announced at $0.2245 per share in long-term capital gains and $0.1996 per share in income.
Home-country bias is often blamed for the lack of non-U.S. holdings in the average investor's portfolio. But many investors are simply unfamiliar with the available options and the benefits of going beyond their borders. Emerging markets took a hit this summer, no doubt scaring off some investors, but this should not be cause for exclusion from a portfolio entirely. A well-diversified portfolio can benefit from a small allocation to emerging markets (whether CEF, ETF, or open-end fund), and individuals can benefit by investing in funds run by well-staffed and knowledgeable investment teams offering these strategies.

ST. PETERSBURG — Something about her so impressed Gerald Black that when he was finally introduced to Ruby Lawson at the downtown pier, he jumped into the water and swam away.
Eventually, Black resurfaced, overcame his shyness and asked her out on a date. Chaperones accompanied them on every outing; the only exception was a morning or afternoon trolley ride. After two years of courting in the 1920s, she became his wife.
They were a team ever since. They won dance and costume competitions, fished, camped, and even built a house together. She mixed the cement and he poured it.
"They were sweethearts from the get-go to the end until they passed away," said their daughter, Shirley Cole, 77, of St. Petersburg.
• • •
After they married, the couple had to juggle two full-time jobs and two daughters. He worked six days a week at a furniture store. She took a job at St. Petersburg City Hall after she graduated from finishing school and held some other odd jobs.
She was industrious and practical. At City Hall, she suggested they number the streets, not name them. She had just said, "Why don't you keep it simple?" Cole said.
After 18 1/2 years at City Hall, she tried to retire. But at a time when few women worked, some people at Florida Power knew her reputation and coaxed her into joining them. She stayed with the company for 26 years.
• • •
Mrs. Black liked to nip things in the bud. If something hurt, she immediately went to the doctor. Her sense of urgency kept her relatively healthy for 102 years. Up until her death, she exercised often and didn't need a walker around the house.
"I feel 28, not 98," she told a grandchild once.
Even when she was uncomfortable or unhappy, it was hard to tell. Mrs. Black believed that when people ask how you're doing, they don't really want to know.
• • •
Born in 1905, Mrs. Black lived on a Georgia farm before moving to St. Petersburg in 1910. She and her husband loved the outdoors. Mrs. Black once said, "I could fish all day and dance all night." In 1972, they retired to their lakefront home in Inverness.
They never stopped fishing and camping together. After his death in 1989, Mrs. Black continued driving to campsites until she was 92.
"She used to say, 'I don't want to die yet. I don't want to miss anything. I've been alive since the radio was invented, the TV, a man walked on the moon,' " said her daughter, Barbara McMahan, 80, of Alexandria, Va.
Mrs. Black died June 5. She was 102.

Olivier Andriès, now Turbomeca chairman and CEO, has the typical résumé of a French executive. He graduated from a top engineering school, Polytechnique, and started a career as an adviser for the Council of Ministers. Andriès left for industry in 1995 and worked for Matra, Airbus and EADS in various roles pertaining to strategy and new programs. In March 2008, he joined the Safran group as executive vice-president of strategy and development, before leading the defense and security branch and eventually taking the helm at Turbomeca on June 1, 2011.

2002 Mazda Protege - Consumer Review
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Fun car - needs more power
By Dan Charlebois on
Vehicle2002 Mazda Protege ES 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 5M)
ReviewI bought my 2002 Protoge in October of
2002 and it now has 11500 miles on
it. The handling of the car is more
than I could have expected. The car
has very precise steering (perhaps a
bit of oversteer) and the suspension
is tighter than most in its class.
This makes cornering quite fun,
especially with the 195/50 R16 Dunlap
tires. Living in Syracuse I had to
buy a set of Blizzak's to get
anywhere. The Dunlap's were useless
in snow.
If I had a problem with the car it
would be that it lacks power. The
engine doesn't get into its power band
until around 4000 rpm. I highly
recommend the 5 speed to get full
enjoyment of the engine.
Best FeaturesInterior design of the car is really great. The ES package makes for a sporty economy car. Handling of the car is great. The 4 wheel disk breaks are very responsive and the suspension is quite sporty.
Worst FeaturesEven though it is an improvement from the 1.6 liter engine from 2001, the engine still lacks low rpm power. It seems sluggish until you get over 4000 rpm. An engine with more horsepower would be great.

New Delhi: A day after the BRICS summit, India and Brazil on Friday decided to step up efforts to push the UN reforms and signed half a dozen pacts in areas ranging from science and biotechnology to cultural exchanges.
Reinforcing the BRICS' position on Syria and Iran, the two countries also called for resolving the festering crisis in West Asia through dialogue.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Friday held wide-ranging talks with Dilma Rousseff, the first woman Brazilian president who began her state visit to India on Friday after the conclusion of the BRICS summit.
After the talks, the two sides signed six pacts in areas ranging from closer cooperation in science and biotechnology to cultural exchanges. Under a signature Brazilian initiative Science Without Borders, the two sides inked a pact that envisages placement of Brazilian students and young researchers in India. It will be funded by Brazil.
Reinforcing key points stressed at the BRICS summit, Mr Singh said India and Brazil, Latin America's economic powerhouse, have agreed to enhance consultations on reform of global governance system, particularly in the context of the reforms of the United Nations and in the G-20 process.
"We have agreed to step up our efforts, particularly towards the reform of the United Nations Security Council as G-4 partners," he said. India, Brazil, Japan and Germany are part of the G-4 grouping that's pitching for a permanent seat in a reformed UN Security Council.
"We are convinced that a resolution to the crisis in West Asia can only be achieved through dialogue and consultations," Mr Singh told reporters at a joint media appearance with Ms Rousseff.
On Thursday, the BRICS grouping including Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa called for dialogue to resolve the Iranian nuclear standoff and the Syria crisis.
Underlining a high degree of convergence between India and Brazil on global issues, Mr Singh said the two countries shared "common perspectives on environmental issues" and wished Brazil success in hosting Rio+20 Conference on sustainable development in June this year.
The two leaders directed their officials to launch an action plan to exploit the full potential in areas such as trade, education, science and technology, environment, defence, space and nuclear energy.

Demi Lovato Checks in to Rehab
Teen queen Demi Lovato has reportedly left her world tour with the Jonas Bros. and has checked into rehab to deal with "emotional and physical issues."
TMZ reports the 18-year-old Disney star checked in this weekend. A rep for Miley's bff tells the site, "Demi Lovato left her tour early this weekend in order to seek medical treatment for emotional and physical issues she has dealt with for some time. Demi has decided to take personal responsibility for her actions and seek help. She is doing just that," adding Demi "regrets not being able to finish her tour, but is looking forward to getting back to work in the near future."
The website reports Demi recently got into a physical fight with a female member of the tour (Ashley Greene, perhaps?), and that instigated the desire to seek help.
Celebuzz spoke with Demi in early September, and the topic of touring with her ex-boyfriend Joe Jonas (who's currently dating Greene) came up. On the matter, Lovato told Celebuzz that despite it being tough, she "sucks it up" because "you have to, 'cause you work with him … When you're hurt, it's easy to move on, so it was very easy for me to move on."
