Philips 200XW 20 inch WSXGA LCD Monitor Review
You might not realize, but Philips is one of the biggest innovators in technology of all time. Philips has either solely or jointly come up with some of the most significant inventions in modern technology, including the audio cassette, compact disc, laserdisc, DVD, and digital audio interconnection (S/PDIF). The company also manufactures lighting, household, and medical products.
So what has it done in the visual arena? Well, Philips has developed world-leading imaging systems used in medical and scientific fields. Philips is Europe's largest manufacturer of LCD TVs, and has formed a joint venture with LG to produce LCD panels for many brands, including the Apple Cinema LCD panel and the Dell Ultrasharp 2005FPW panel. LG.Philips develops new technology like flexible LCD displays that you can roll up, and massive 100+ inch displays.
In this review, I will be looking at the Philips 200XW 20" widescreen LCD monitor, a 6-bit TN film panel based display.
Closer Look:
Ok, so this is the Philips 200XW7EB, but it only says 200XW on the box, so I guess 7EB is the variation; maybe B for black, E for ... oh I don't know, who cares? It's the 200XW and there are no variations of it on the Philips website at the time of writing this review.
The design on the box is very clean, with a technical drawing element to it. Everything seems very precise, front and back.
The familiar method of polystyrene end caps and strange foam-cloth cover keeps the screen protected and immaculate. Also inside the box is the bag of cables, and a bag for the CD and paper guides.
The screen's base is wedged into the top polystyrene cap, and needs to be attached to the monitor stem. It's heavier than I expected and convinced me that it would be steady and keep the monitor in place.
An odd-looking bag is taped to the monitor stem, with something inside, with masking tape around it.
An obvious warning label shows that the mystery taped-up thing has something to do with the base and maybe the stand.

Experience Egypt, steeped in history
From€461 returnBook
The ancient Egyptians' historical legacy will fill you with awe. Visit the great Pyramid of Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Marvel at the treasures of Tutankhamun and cruise down the Nile to the Valley of the Kings.
It still surprises first time visitors how close the great pyramids at Giza are to downtown Cairo. Cairo, the largest city in Africa and the Middle East, is nevertheless full of ancient and secret oases of calm. Luxor, ancient Thebes, has been called the world's greatest open-air museum, while historic Alexandria and very modern Sharm El Sheikh offer contrasting coastal experiences.
Temperatures rarely drop below 20°C on the Red Sea, so you're almost guaranteed winter sunshine. The beauties of this ancient, civilised land are perhaps best seen from the deck of the many boats that cruise along the River Nile. The town of Luxor – ancient Thebes – is divided between the East Bank of the Nile, the land of the living, and the West, the land of the dead – the Valley of the Kings, where the Pharaohs were buried in unimaginable splendour.
The 19th-century Egyptian Museum in Cairo holds one of the greatest collections of antiquities in the world – including the treasures of Tutankhamun's tomb. A short distance away the modern story of Egypt is unfolding around Tahrir Square. The old city remains hidden behind the teeming streets. The shaded alleyways of Coptic Cairo lead to Byzantine churches and important Roman ruins such as the strikingly modern-looking Babylon fortress.

After taking second place the 2009 European Championship Of Custom Bike Building, Sweden's SE Service immediately brought their radical BMW custom to the race track to see how she goes when not standing still.
The bike's styling may be too far from the norm for some riders, but at the heart of it is a bevy of technological goodness. Track footage and pictures after the jump.

Head Tennis Racquets
Head tennis racquets have been seen in the hands of the world's top players, from Andre Aggasi and Andy Murray, to the current No.1 ranked Novak Djokovic. The technological innovations implemented in Head tennis racquets have given these players the advantage they need to dominate all other players. Let that advantage help you in your game, too.
Head YouTek IG
YouTek IG Head tennis racquets are outfitted with the same superior YouTek technology as the YouTek Head tennis racquet series, combining superior technologies to perfectly match your individual needs. Whether your game is aggressive and adventurous or consistent and smooth, YouTek™ enhances your performance and brings out the best in you. Choose between a combination of technologies developed for Extreme, Radical, Prestige, Speed, and Instinct games. The Head YouTek IG Speed Midplus is the racquet of choice of No. 1 ranked Novak Djokovic.
Head YouTek
Head YouTek tennis racquets combine a series of uniquely responsive technologies for a more personal racquet response. The combination of Innegra fibers in the frame, d3o material in the lay-up and shaft, and Teflon, friction reducing grommets make the Head tennis racquet YouTek line the most personalized and adaptive racquets on the market. Choose between a combination of technologies developed for Speed, Radical, Extreme or Prestige games.
Head Liquidmetal
Head Liquidmetal tennis racquets implement a revolutionary technology that is 2.5 times stronger than titanium. The liquid atomic structure of Liquidmetal material does not deform during impact, resulting in 29 percent more power being channeled into your return. The advantages of playing with a Head tennis racquet from the Liquidmetal line are enhanced by a NoShox Dampening System, TSC (Total Sweetspot Construction), and an Integrated String Dampener.
Head Metallix
Head Metallix tennis racquets introduce a revolutionary scientific theory that results in a more complete carbon matrix for a stronger and lighter racquet than ever before. Combining the crystalline metal alloy with LMS (Longer Main String) technology and a patented Stabilizer system, Head has created the perfect blend of power and control in the Metallix racquets.
Head MicroGel
Head MicroGel tennis racquets utilize a revolutionary new material that, when combined with the strength and stiffness of carbon composite fibers and an increased head size, created and unmatched responsiveness and a rock-solid feel. MicroGel is a silicon-based material that weighs only 3 milligrams, but can withstand pressure up to 4,000 times its weight. Upon impact the molecular structure of the MicroGel material deforms and compresses, absorbing and dispersing ball impact throughout the entire frame. The increased head size of Head tennis racquets in the MicroGel line allows the ball to slide across the frame, creating more spin. More spin means higher trajectory, which translates into a more powerful game.
Head Titanium
Head Titanium tennis racquets are the lightest weight and strongest racquets on the market, known for maneuverability and handling. The titanium mesh blended with graphite fibers creates stiffness unmatched by any other material. The aerodynamic constant beam construction of the Head tennis racquets in the Titanium line increases racquet speed and reduces racquet distortion.
Head Prestrung Adult Racquets
Prestrung adult tennis racquets come in a variety of choices. You can choose from the most popular Head tennis racquet technology or select from one of Head's other cutting edge technologies.
Head Junior
Junior Head tennis racquets utilize all the same great technology found in the full size Head tennis racquets for a more complete experience from the start. Head contributes to the future of tennis with a complete line of performance racquets, so children will learn the game and have fun while on the court.

I consider it my duty to keep you informed of the upcoming end of the world. The signs are everywhere.
Cows text farmers when they're in heat.
What's next? Cats call when they'd like to go dancing? Swiss dairymensay they've implanted cows with sensors which send a text message wirelessly when a cow is in heat.
As @ButterflyRachel tweeted, "Women have been telepathically doing that for millennia." Once the farmer receives the texts, he sends a direct message via Facebook to the local bull ordering him to get to work. I'm kidding about the last part. I think.
Beer pong goes galactic.
A company is now taking reservations to go to the edge of the Earth's atmosphere ... to drink beer.
"One small thirst for man, one giant first for mankind." The $95,000 tour includes the space flight, a couple days prepping for it, "introduction to consuming liquids in space," Vostok Space Beer, and "one hell of a party afterwards." If we are on the verge of the apocalypse, there are worse ways to go.
The Mile High Club has fallen on hard times.
First, your seat comes loose on the American Airlines 757 you're flying. (Read More: More Loose American Airlines Seats Found.)
Now, you can't even get into the bathroom on a long international flight. Why? It's not because somebody's in there having a good time with somebody else. More likely, an artist named Nina Katchadourian is in there taking pictures of herself with lavatory items draped over her "in the Flemish style."
The results are hilarious, if you have a sick sense of humor like I do. And sick senses of humor are signs of the apocalypse.
George Clooney can't keep a girlfriend.
The hunky Hollywood leading man seemingly switches women more often than the Jets switch quarterbacks mid-drive. Clooney may be back on the market again after a reported breakup with Stacy Keibler, a story treated as "Breaking News" on the Baltimore Sunhomepage Wednesday. Regulators may get involved, as being a Clooney girlfriend gives new meaning to High Frequency Trading.
Just when you thought it was time to hitch a ride on the Beer In Space rocket and get out of Dodge before the Earth collapses, here's a story which makes everything right with the world.
It's about the best homemade Halloween costume ever. It's an ice cream truck, created by a father for his son, who suffers from spina bifida. The wheelchair bound boy is dressed as a Good Humor man driving the truck, wearing a very snappy uniform.
Maybe the world's not ending quite yet.

Auto Show: 2013 Detroit Auto Show
2014 Mercedes CLA-Class, Updated E-Class: Detroit Auto Show
- All-new 2014 Mercedes CLA debuts, an entry-level "four-door coupe."
- The 4-cylinder, front-drive-based CLA will be a price leader for Mercedes.
- The 2014 E-Class gets extensive revisions, including new exterior styling.
Although Mercedes-Benz invented the so-called "four-door coupe" segment with the original CLS, they've never offered this type of vehicle at anything like an affordable price.
With the unveiling of the Mercedes 2014 CLA-Class at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, that's about to change in a big way.
Boasting "baby CLS" styling and a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, the CLA will compete with entry-level luxury models like the Audi A3 when it hits dealerships in Fall 2013. The CLA builds on Mercedes' well-received Concept Style Coupe, retaining the concept's frameless doors and "youthful Mercedes face."
The CLA-Class is notable for being the first modern Mercedes in America to feature front-wheel drive. Customers in other countries have long had the choice of front-wheel drive in the A-Class and B-Class, but Mercedes hasn't brought those smaller models to the U.S.
However, Acura and Audi have clearly shown that front-drive-based luxury vehicles are viable in the American market. With the CLA-Class, Mercedes has added a healthy dose of curb appeal while borrowing front-drive components from the A-Class/B-Class to limit costs.
Like Acura and Audi, Mercedes will also offer all-wheel drive. The CLA-Class 4MATIC will arrive at stateside dealerships in Spring 2014.
Beyond its unconventional underpinnings, the CLA-Class features a peppy 2.0-liter turbocharged engine rated at 208 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission handles the shifting duties.
Other standard features include 17-inch alloy wheels, a radar-based collision avoidance system, and a 5.8-inch infotainment display with full smartphone integration. A 7-inch hard-drive-based display with COMAND will be optional.
There are also rumors of an AMG-tuned CLA-Class with considerably more power and the usual AMG handling and appearance upgrades.
As for the Mercedes 2014 E-Class, the big news is the significantly revised exterior styling. The formerly angular and aggressive headlights have been softened and smoothed over, while the previous version's bulging "hips" on the rear quarter panels have been banished from the sedan and wagon (they remain on the coupe and cabriolet).
A new hybrid sedan model, the E400, couples an electric motor to Mercedes' familiar 3.5-liter V6 engine. The EPA estimates the E400 will have fuel economy of 24 mpg city/30 highway, a modest improvement on the standard E350's 20/30 mpg.
At the sporty end of the spectrum, the E63 AMG's twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter V8 engine has been cranked up to 550 horsepower and 531 lb-ft of torque (the previous model made do with a humble 518 horsepower). The new E63 "S-Model" will up the ante to 577 horsepower and 590 pound-feet. All-wheel drive is now standard on every E63, and there will again be a wagon version with a rear-facing third-row seat for high-performance families.
Finally, the E-Class will receive a number of interior and safety updates, including a new steering wheel and a revised collision-avoidance system with a camera that can identify obstacles on the road ahead.
What it means to you: Watch out, Acura and Audi; the new CLA-Class has its eyes set on your buyers. Meanwhile, E-Class fans can enjoy that lineup's familiar all-around excellence with a friendlier face.

Recording Industry Sues More Irish ISPs For Not Implementing 3 Strikes
from the but-where's-the-law? dept
However, because Eircom was worried about the competitive nature of the industry -- and how users might flock to other ISPs, it apparently had the labels agree to go after other ISPs as well. In fact, very soon after the agreement, the local recording industry association (the Irish Recorded Music Association -- IRMA) sent letters to other ISPs falsely claiming that under European law, they too needed to implement three strikes -- to which those ISPs responded by pointing out the law said no such thing.
Apparently IRMA would like to put that to the test. It's now sued two other Irish ISPs: the second largest telco (BT Ireland) and the largest cable ISP, UPC Ireland. UPC Ireland seems ready to vigorously defend itself, noting: "There is no basis under Irish law requiring ISPs to control, access or block the internet content its users download. In addition, the rights-holders' proposal gives rise to serious concerns for data privacy and consumer contract law."

Organic Bedding Options for Adults from Kids' Stores
A few years ago I attended a DwellStudio sample sale and bought a lovely duvet and sheet set for our "master bedroom" (okay, it's the only bedroom). It was severely discounted and, interestingly enough, found in the kids' section. Since then I've made it a point when shopping to check kids' stores. If you don't mind wading through some of the no-doubt-about-it juvenile designs you may hit on something with adult cross-over appeal. As an example, here are some options for organic bedding for full-sized beds or larger from kids' stores.
These are just a few examples - check back seasonally to see what may be new at these companies. Note: PBTeen and Land of Nod also often sell solid organic cotton sheets.
DwellStudio Kids
1. Ovals Grey Reversible Duvet and Sham Set (full/queen $184). Shown with Zig Zag Chocolate Sheet Set (full/queen, $170)
2. Filigree Blossom Reversible Duvet and Sham Set (full/queen $206). Sheet set (full/queen $170)
Amenity (listed in both kids and adult sections)
3. & 4. Sunset Organic Cotton Kids Duvet in Pink or Orange ($330)
5. De-Vine Duvet Cover & Pillowcase (full/queen $99, pillowcases $28) and Sheet Set (full $99/queen $119)
6. Nouveau Floral Duvet Cover & Sham (full/queen $119, sham $32) in three colorways and Sheet Set (full $99/queen $109)

not first time fuck.
boy got to use more lube for his lady.
I don't understand why she doesn't just make him stop. He doesn't know the first thing about anal technique. If I brought a guy home and he was that inexperienced I'd kick him out and act like I'd never met him before.
I can't speak for the actor, but her saying 'please hurry!' sure didn't help me along...
usually called "first anal... of the day" ;)
Really very good. But could use some editing. This film is entirely too long.
At first I thought he was touching her like a butcher touces his meat but then I realised, he oils and works her as if she was a machine or a car or something that needs to be repaired.
It started off really hot....but it's a turn off when she's pretending to be in pain...or if she actually is uncomfortable, it's way over the top. No good.
i wish someone would fuck my tight asshole like that
Xxx gay
She is not a first timer, ahe eaven know hot to put his cock un her ass, but i would fuck her ass all night long
the guy's an asshole. he obviously doesn't know how to do anal in a way that it feels good for her instead of hurting. and what's worse: he doesn't even seem to care. but that's probably why she likes him........
LOL at the people who think this is a real couple having first time anal. All you gotta do is google her name ;)
Yeah all porn stars, having their first time anal..
she looks my ex gf lol. tho slightly less tanned. And allows anal unlike my ex lol
Veruca James
That poor woman
iI vud lyk 2 fuck her
I don't care how hot their bodies our...it they are all tatted up, that just kills it for me
just saying that chick really loves him. To take that much pain she really hates it you can tell, but she just takes it.
Her anus hurts
youre all gay. watchin someone doin in the ass. gay boys
The best ass EVER
God, this girl looks so much like my cute 19-year-old neighbor. I've fantasized about a similar scenario many times, ending with me fucking her lovingly in the ass. This video is a dream - I love the long build-up.
@me. I am bisexual, but more gay-oriented and I like his big cock.I am masturbating now and squeezing my balls
wat a hug bub i wanna suck:
this makes me fucking horny.
girl shut the fuck up
sure you would Jenny. She wants to please her man that's why she doesn't stop it.
That bitch is hot i wanna slam my dick in her so baaad
when she says "it hurts" I felt the blood surge into my cock. is that wrong? I want to fuck her ass too!
Very wrong. But not all men put pleasure first. Even though these videos are obviously of fake virgins.
No es su primer anal pero si es un delicioso anal
The fact that it hurts her didn't turn me on at all. :( She also talks abit too much..
I love Veruca James... that said, NO this was not the first time she's had a cock up her ass.
yep...sounds like she is scared.....dicks just fall right in and I don't think she can feel anything.
I would keep pumping cum in her pussy, she is so fucking beautiful.

"The girl lacked maturity and was entitled to legal protection, .... Any "presumed willingness" on her part had no mitigating value" - Senior District Judge See Kee Oon
Former principal Lee has been sentenced to 9 weeks jail. During his sentencing, the judge said the behavior of the girl and her "presumed willingness" does not matter. This is very interesting. In the application of a law that is intended to protect victims of exploitation, it does not matter if girl is exploited or a willing party that benefited from the transaction.Looks like defense counsel Subhas Anandan's 'a hardcore prostitute' defense might not be enough to get his clients off the hook with this judge. It was also reported that the girl was 6 months shy of her 18th birthday - 6 months later she did not need protection....a real befuddling technicality. 18 is just an arbitrary age set by law makers in parliament but the law is applied mechanically
I looked around to check versions of similar laws in other countries. In a case involving French footballers, the police dropped the case when they were satisfied the men did not know the girl was underage[French prosecutors accept that Ribery did not know prostitute was a minor]. California allows the following defense:
"You honestly and reasonably believed that the alleged victim was over 18
If you honestly and reasonably believed that the all
- statements made by the alleged victim that he/she was over the age of 18,
- his/her attire and general appearance, and
- where you met the alleged victim (at an adult party or venue, for example." [Link]
Allowing such a defense may lead to fairer outcomes.
The judge insisted that the onus is on the man to check:
" Given the circumstances, Lee's suspicion ought to have been aroused and he should have asked for proof of her age, the judge said. "Had she refused to show identification, he should have walked away".....
Most sex workers will never show their identity cards or passport to a customer because they don't know who the customer is and are afraid of blackmail or harassment later on - for this reason, working girls don't use their real names. The judge expects men to walk off should the sex worker refuse to show their identity card. I wonder how practical it is given that these men are already overcome by lust and have gone all the way to meet the woman at the hotel room....the judge expects them to "walk away".
At the end of the day what these men have done is morally incorrect. However, there are many men who commit adultery and part-take in worse forms of immorality - the law does not go after them....this piece of law is not intended to go after men for their immorality but set out to protect the vulnerable. These men have their lives, families and careers crushed to protect someone who may not need protection. They had no intention to break the law, didn't know they broke the law and following the law would have required them to do something that is impractical and unnatural - so how many men asked the 17 year old for her IC and walked out when she refused to show it?
There are some who always enjoy watching the rich and successful fall, shamed and exposed But they deserve to be treated fairly like every other Singaporean even when they have done something wrong.

Skip to comments.ANDERS BREIVIK IS NOT CRAZY" - THE SURPRISE DEFENSE OF NORWAYS MASS KILLER
Posted on 04/02/2012 8:34:51 AM PDT by marthemaria
Geir Lippestad will definitely cause some controversy with the approach he plans to take in the upcoming trial of Anders Breivik, Norways infamous extreme-right terrorist. For starters, Lippestad, Breiviks defense attorney, intends to place Mullah Krekar -- an Islamist extremist from Kurdish Iraq who has been living in Norway since 1991-- on the witness stand.
In an interview with Le Monde, Lippestad outlined his strategy for this exceptional trial, which is scheduled to begin April 16, less than eight months after the double attack on July 22, 2011, in which 77 people died. The majority of the victims were attending a summer camp hosted by the youth wing of the governing Social Democratic party. This trial has seriously challenged Lippestads beliefs as both a support of the Social Democrats and a father of eight children. I feel I have lost my soul in this case, he said. I hope to get it back once all this is over, and that it will be in the same state as before. Unlike all of Lippestads previous clients, Anders Breivik is not afraid of being found guilty. The possibility of receiving Norways maximum penalty (21 years in prison) doesnt scare him on the contrary, he wants it.
This trial is unique, just like the dreadful acts that will be judged, said Lippestad. We have to think differently. In the majority of trials, you have a defendant who denies the facts or who says he didnt intend to do what he did. Here you have someone who recognizes the facts, who takes responsibility for them, and who says he would do the same thing again if the opportunity arose.
He doesnt intend to run away from his responsibilities, the attorney added. Quite the opposite, he wants to be found sane and accountable [for his actions].
Not so paranoid after all
Lippestad initially based his defense on his clients poor mental health. The first two psychiatrists who examined Breivik declared him insane. But in the end, the lawyer decided to follow his clients wishes. The idea that Breivik could be declared not criminally responsible and therefore escape a prison sentence had distressed a large part of the Norwegian population. A second team of psychiatrists has been appointed to evaluate him. They are expected to present their conclusions on April 10. Even if these psychiatrists confirm the first teams findings, Breiviks lawyer wont change anything about his clients defense. It is about showing that his beliefs and way of thinking are common, said Lippestad. He is not as unique, as paranoid or schizophrenic as the experts say. Lippestad is counting on exposing discrepancies in the expert opinions. What we see is that there is a gap between what the human sciences say on extremism, and what doctors and psychiatrists know. In Lippestads opinion, many of those who share Breiviks ideas are classified as extremists, not psychotic. Why, therefore, should he be considered insane?
We will place people from extremist backgrounds on the witness stand to explain their thought process in order to establish that there are others who, without going as far as to commit the crime, share the same ideology and way of thinking, said Lippestad. What we want to show is that we are dealing with an ideology and that he is not the only person to stand behind [those beliefs]; that he is not a psychotic living in a separate world. A controversial star witness By summoning Mullah Krekar to testify --potentially alongside other Islamists-- Lippestad wants to show that Islamists also believe that Europe is the setting for a war of religion and that it is not just a delusion that Breivik has imagined.
Krekar, real name Faraj Ahmad Najmuddin and often called the most controversial refugee in Norway, used to be the leader of Ansar Al-Islam, a small Islamist group from Iraqi Kurdistan that carried out several attacks there. In a book published in Norway in 2004, Krekar admitted to having met Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan in about 1990 in the hope of receiving some financial help for his guerrilla group. He left the meeting empty handed. The lawyer intends to place the Norwegian blogger Fjordman, believed to be Breiviks main inspiration, on the witness stand as well. Breivik cites Fjordman in his 1,500-page manifesto, which he distributed on the Internet just before the attacks. It is Breivik himself who is orchestrating the strategy defended by Lippestad. While waiting for his trial, he is doing lots of exercise. He also has access to a work cell equipped with a computer. He doesnt have Internet access, but he can write, and he is preparing a speech that he intends to read during the trial, said Lippestad. The defendant receives letters, watches television and reads the newspapers. He writes letters to five or six people whom he considers to be his ideological brothers and sisters, in Norway and abroad, the attorney explained. His motivation for carrying out these monstrosities was to distribute his manifesto, Lippestad added. Breivik believes that the revolution will start in France or England because, according to him, multiculturalism is very conflicting there.
That won't be allowed to happen.
What else should be on trial, is a society that allows camps for political indoctrination of thier youth.
I'll bet.
If Breivik doesn't lie, is direct and doesn't rage, the lefties have a real problem.
If the Muslims that testify also tell the truth (not likely) it will be a disaster. If they aren't allowed to testify it will also be a disaster.
I believe that Breivik is not just sane, but that his actions were carefully and expertly planned, well executed, and importantly, achieved Breiviks goals. And in doing so, he has altered the future course of his nation.
Here is some background not widely covered by the media.
1) The Workers' Youth League (Norway) was founded in 1927 with the merger of the Communist Youth League and Socialist Youth League of Norway. While it officially considers its founding based on the 1903 Norwegian Social-Democratic Youth League, its real impulse came in response to the formation of the Hitler Jugend in Germany, in 1922.
In all of these cases, whether communist or socialist, the purpose of these leagues was to create an ideologically pure generation to replace the current communist or socialist, socialist-fascist political leadership.
Importantly, over the course of almost 100 years, these youth leagues maintained the idealistic, ideological focus of their political movements. This is a winning strategy against conservatism in any form, because conservatives have no inflexible doctrines, and tend to use a static defense of retaining the status quo, whatever it is. Which invariably loses.
2) In modern internationalist-socialism, a primary goal is to eliminate national borders and national, cultural, and ethnic identities, as well as philosophies other than their own. To do this it encourages unrestricted immigration, on condition the immigrants give political loyalty to the left.
That the immigrants are also deeply ideological and in strong opposition to leftism is of small consequence to the left, because it sees them as inherently weak and corruptible, their ideologies far weaker than conservative nationalism.
Norway has a relatively tiny population of only 4.7m, so they are remarkably easy to infiltrate with immigrants until Norwegians are in the minority.
3) So the end result with be an absolute majority of political power for the left, the destruction of Norway as a unique nation, and the Norwegians as a unique people and culture, what remains being a "generic" administrative socialist district of Europe, lead by an ideologically pure elite of internationalists with no loyalty whatsoever to what had been Norway.
4) However, the left made a major mistake by "putting all its eggs in one basket", with virtually its entire future generation of socialist leaders on an island with no ready means of escape.
Breivik first used a bomb to distract the socialist government, the arrived at the island to systematically kill everyone on it. Once he had achieved that goal, his mission was over and he surrendered peacefully.
5) What he achieved was to completely handicap not just that political party but their anti-Norway agenda. Almost by default, they will soon lose political power, and the more conservative opposition will derail the most destructive of their schemes, hopefully expelling a large number of these immigrants, requiring integration of the rest, restoring Norway's national pride and culture, and to dismantle much of the socialist government's bureaucracy.
As such, after many years, Breivik may be regarded as a national hero, though he will be bitterly vilified and cursed by the left even longer, as a "counterrevolutionary."
Consider the fact, that had he not gone to trial for the Beer Hall Putsch, Hitler would have never achieved power, he used it as the springboard to ultimately achieve power.
So the end justifies the means?
Of course not, in fact, I pointed out the Hitler analogy because I fear that Breivik will turn this trial into his own personal forum, and they'll be plenty of nuts who will buy it.
Interestingly, although the left presents Breivik as an extreme rightist, in fact he is a nationalist, and is more socialist than not.
As in Germany, this is a fight among socialists.
So, that would make him a "National Socialist."
And they are said to be rather nice facilities. What's to fear?
"extreme right"
Nothing "right" about the guy
More or less.
The media and "intellectuals" have pushed the phony meme for a half Century that Fascism is from the right. In fact, it is a leftist philosophy as it's proper name, National Socialism implies. The pre war fight for control of Germany was between Communist groups having nothing to do with the right.
There is nothing conservative about either side in this incident in Norway.
It is easier to understand that a national communist lite (Breivik), delivered the strike you describe so well, on the International Communist establishment in power.
Not at all, but the ends should never be ignored when examining the means.
I read an analysis of what Breivik did, but rewritten to put it in terms that make more sense to Americans, supposedly taking place in America.
It begins with a non-violent Muslim youth league, that over many years becomes increasingly powerful as a political movement in the US, to the point that now and then the Muslim political party has a majority in congress and even the presidency.
Their ends are to get rid of the US constitution, and replace it with Sharia law. All the while assuring non-Muslim Americans that they mean them no harm. But soon, all government largess goes to those who support Islam, and there is unrestricted immigration encouraged from every Muslim nation in the world. Hundreds of millions of Muslims coming to America.
Eventually they wish to even discard the name "America" and replace it with a Sultanate. And they train all their children in a giant, public funded madrassa, with the idea that eventually they will become the future leaders of the Sultanate. No one can become a leader in their political party unless they have graduated from this madrassa and follow precisely the agenda of the Muslim party.
Yet one non-Muslim American sees where this is going, and does not like it. He likes living in a constitutional nation. He likes his fellow Americans, but does not like endless immigration of Muslims to America.
And he knows that if he wipes out this giant madrassa, the cause of the Islamization of America will be set back perhaps a hundred years or more. It will be highly likely that the spigot of immigration will be turned off, and many of the immigrants already here will be made to leave.
He is an American version of Breivik. Is he a villain or a hero for wanting to save his nation the way it is?
This is a fair approximation of the situation in Norway. So again the question is, do the ends justify the means?
"Ansar Al-Islam, a small Islamist group from Iraqi Kurdistan"
Like hell they're small. They are the MAIN GROUP killing Americans in Iraq. Typical media distortion.
Also, his idea of being deemed sane is ingenious, as there is probably no way he can serve more than 21 years, whereas if he were deemed insane, they could find excuse after excuse to keep him locked up.
Conservatism is much more than that. Leftists have in some instances learned that they are utterly dependent on conservatives to pay the bills and hold society together as they, the leftists try their repetitive and foolish idealistic experiments. Without conservatives, the socialists rapidly turn into Zimbabwe.
No socialist system can exist, even for a short while, unless there is somebody outside of the system paying for it. An excellent example of this was Sweden, whose socialist economic system was totally supported by their huge, capitalist armaments manufacturers-exporters, that were outside the system, yet paid huge taxes.
Yet despite all, socialism was a huge drain on this industry, always demanding more and more resources, yet providing less and less to the people in the system.
Finally the socialist PM, Olof Palme, decided to kill the goose that laid the golden egg, by nationalizing the arms industry, so that all its profits could be used to feed the socialist monster. So there is a strong suggestion that the arms industry recruited an insane man to assassinate him.
Once he was out of the way, cooler heads prevailed, and began a systematic deconstruction of the most expensive and irrational parts of the socialist programme. Thus Sweden slowly began to recover.
So for all the contempt and hatred the left, communists, anarchists, neo-Nazis, socialists, liberals, eco-nuts, etc. have for conservatism, they are utterly dependent on it, and its efficiency, productivity, solidity, and literal militancy, or progressivism would die out entirely.

A Boulder County jury on Thursday acquitted the driver of a semi trailer involved in the collision that killed a bicyclist on Valmont Road last August.
Lucio Ramirez, 46, of Denver, was found not guilty on one count of careless driving result in death.
According to officials, at 6:50 a.m. Aug. 13, Ramirez was driving a truck owned by Villa Lobos Concrete east on Valmont Road when he made a left turn into the driveway of Pioneer Sand Landscape Supplies, 6379 Valmont Road.
Randy Herndon, 62, and a coworker were bicycling west on Valmont, and Herndon collided with the rear tires of the truck. He was killed instantly.
Herndon's family could not immediately be reached Thursday afternoon.
Prosecutor Christine Rinke said she hopes drivers will exercise more caution because of this case.
"It's obviously disappointing, but the jurors worked hard for several days and that's how our system works," she said.
Ramirez's attorney Richard Tegtmeier said the jurors, who deliberated for about two hours, were attentive and meticulous during the trial.
He said Ramirez was happy with the verdict and that his heart goes out to Herndon's family.
"This has been devastating for him," Tegtmeier said. "It's been such a relief for him to have these criminal charges resolved with a not guilty verdict."

Then it's on to artistic creative photographers trying to figure out how to capture the theme of the day. It's tough to come up with something new and different for such an overdone theme as hearts. I especially like the ones of men walking across great distances in the cold weather clutching flowers for their ladies.
There are crafters and artists with creative turns on the theme, with links to their blogs. Not to be missed are the cupcake, cake and coffee food photos. One is a plate of rose petals with a fork.
Be sure to click on the photos to go to the photographers' flickr pages and blogs where they discuss their art process or the situation for the photo.
I sure had fun going through 2700 photos to do this post because so many made me laugh and others were food for inspiration. Happy Valentine's Day!

Saints sign former first-round pick Smith
Metairie, LA – The New Orleans Saints announced Thursday that the team has agreed to terms with offensive tackle Jason Smith on a one-year contract.
Smith, selected by St. Louis with the No. 2 overall choice in the 2009 draft, was released by the New York Jets in February. He appeared in all 16 games last season -- his lone one with the Jets -- serving as a reserve tackle and extra blocker as a tight end.
The former Baylor All-American, who turns 27 on April 30, was traded to the Jets by the Rams last August following a disappointing and injury-plagued three-year tenure in St. Louis. Smith made just 26 starts over that span while missing large portions of the 2009 and 2011 campaigns with concussion-related issues.
New Orleans had been seeking additional depth along the offensive line after starting left tackle Jermon Bushrod signed with Chicago as a free agent in March.

IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 5, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HID Global®, a worldwide leader in secure identity solutions, today announced the FARGO® HDP®8500LE Industrial Card Laser Engraver, a new module in its FARGO Industrial Series for high-security state and government eID programs and other applications requiring advanced visual security. Leveraging the most versatile laser engraving technology in card identity systems, the high security HDP8500LE system permanently engraves a range of unalterable personalization attributes into cards, making forgery and alteration virtually impossible. With the HDP8500LE hardware and Asure ID® Software, HID delivers the industry's easiest-to-use desktop solution for simultaneously printing, encoding, engraving and laminating IDs. Asure ID software provides users with a single card template that integrates data to be printed, programmed and engraved into a card, greatly enhancing the efficiency of secure ID issuance operations.
"The HDP8500LE system is ideal for card issuance programs that bear an elevated risk of forgery or identity misrepresentation, including drivers' licenses, citizen identity permits, other national ID programs, as well as high security enterprise environments seeking state-of-the-art visual security," said Alan Fontanella, vice president of product marketing for secure issuance with HID Global. "Laser engraving sophisticated visual security elements on IDs provides greatly increased protection against ID card counterfeiting and tampering since damage from alteration attempts is immediately evident."
The HDP8500LE raises the technology barrier against fraud by delivering overt and covert visual security elements together with the highest levels of system and output security. Precision laser engravers allow program designers to add custom security features, which may be authenticated with the human eye, as well as covert and forensic features, which require tools such as a magnifying glass or ultraviolet light to enable authentication.
Engrave Security into Every Card
HID Global laser engraving technology creates surface relief in the form of raised lettering that enables verification of authenticity at the touch of a finger. An optional camera vision system ensures accurate placement and registration of data on the card surface, and reproduction is so precise that it even allows the engraving of microtext that cannot be read without a magnification tool. The HDP8500LE system can also produce multiple and/or changeable laser images (MLI/CLI), which counterfeiters are unable to mimic using regular printers.
Color print, encode, laser engrave and laminate cards simultaneously
In addition to the new HDP8500LE laser engraver module, the Industrial Series includes the high duty HDP8500 printer/encoder, incorporating fifth generation HID Global High Definition Printing (HDP®) technology, and an integrated lamination module. The Industrial Series is built for maximum reliability in challenging environments. Specifically, it offers ease of use and maintenance to reduce training and issuance costs, field-upgradeable options to meet specialized or evolving requirements and flexible deployment options enabling use in distributed or centralized issuance locations. The entire HDP8500 system is supported by HID's Asure ID Exchange Card Personalization Software. Seamless integration of all HDP8500 personalization modules enables ID program administrators to create end-to-end security around their entire issuance operation.
HID Global at CARTES and IDentification 2012
HID Global will demonstrate its leading card personalization portfolio and government ID solutions in Hall 3, Stand F002 at the Paris Nord Villepinte Exhibition Center from November 6-8. In addition, Craig Sandness, HID Global's vice president of sales for government ID solutions, is a featured speaker in the 'Security' track on the topic "Streamlining the Delivery of Multi-Technology ID Solutions" at 9:40 a.m. on Tuesday, November 6th. David Chevrel, HID Global's area sales manager for secure card issuance, will speak on the "Counterfeit – Piracy – Safety" panel at 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, November 7th.

How bifocal lenses are produced - learn more about the differences in producing glass or plastic bifocal lenses.
To produce glass bifocal lenses, a lens pressing and a so-called button are required.
The circular button consists of two segments with different refractive indices. The top part of the button – known as its crown – has the same refractive index as the base lens, i. e. as the distance portion, while the lower part – the subsequent near portion – has a higher refractive index.
At the surfaces of the dividing edge which is later visible, the two segments are smoothed and then permanently fused in a furnace. The back surface of the button is ground and polished. The function of the button crown is to protect the dividing edge of the near portion when the button is being milled and to complete the distance portion above the near portion.
International technique
In this process a round hollow is ground into the front surface of the distance portion and then polished. This displays the radius required for the addition.
The button is placed into the hollow of the base lens and both are then passed through a melting furnace for a period lasting approx. 4 1/2 hours. Depending on the type of lens involved, the temperature totals 670 °C to 760 °C. The button assumes a "pasty" consistency and fuses with the base lens.
Pressing technique
A base lens with plane surfaces is used for this technique. In this case, the back surface of the button determines the addition. The base lens is heated to beyond its softening point and the cold button is pressed into the red-hot base lens using a punching device. The pressure required for this process corresponds to a weight of approx. 6 tons.
After cooling, the button and the base lens remain permanently fused. The button crown is now totally invisible, as it fuses with the base lens to form a homogeneous glass block. The projecting part of the button is removed by milling. The resultant bifocal blank is then ground and polished on its front and back surfaces, and is then coated.
To produce plastic bifocal lenses, a hollow with the shape of the segment is made in the concave back surface of the casting die. This means that the casting displays the curved segment and palpable segment edge typical of plastic bifocal lenses. The dioptric power of the segment is achieved solely by increasing the surface curvature, and not by the use of a material with a higher refractive index as in glass bifocal lenses.

Although the city of Sunnyside expected to lose more than $11.3 million in revenues over the next couple of years, the failure of Initiative 1100 and 1105 will help the budget, according to Finance and Administrative Services Director Byron Olson.
Last night he told the city council during a budget workshop the failure of the initiatives means about $300,000 can be reintroduced into the biennial budget, which is projected at more than $56 million.
Olson provided the council with an overview of the overall budget revenues at the workshop, stating the high school construction project will provide the city with some sales taxes, but he expects sales tax revenues to be moderate in 2011. Some improvement in the economy is projected for 2012, which will also help boost general fund revenues.
"Sales taxes are still underperforming, but they are underperforming less than earlier this year...I'd like to say that instead of being underwater six inches, we're underwater by two inches," he said.
Olson said people are still spending less in the retail sector and gas prices remain fairly high. As a result, money that might be spent on retail is being spent to fuel vehicles.
There may be sales tax growth in the future because of construction projects, but he anticipates 2012 as a much better year.
After speaking with county officials, Olson told the council he has been advised to levy property taxes for 2011 at the same rate as 2010. He said the 1 percent property tax levy increase can be adopted at a later date.
In 2010 property taxes collected amounted to more than $1.8 million. Olson projects similar revenues for the next two years.
He said property tax values peeked in 2009 and he projects them to remain steady in 2011 and 2012.
Business utilities are being taxed at 6 percent, said Olson. He said that is the maximum allowable tax under law.
The business utility taxes are generated from electric, natural gas, cable television, telephone and water, sewer and garbage services. The only utility not assessed taxes at 6 percent is the cable television franchises.
"Utility taxes are the one tax source that has kept up with inflation," said Olson.
He projects the city of Sunnyside will collect more than $1.85 million in utility taxes in 2011 and more than $1.95 million in 2012.
The water, sewer and garbage (solid waste) fees were later discussed, and Olson said he is proposing a rate increase of 4.5 percent for 2011 and 2012.
A portion of the funds in the solid waste budget, he said, could be used for an enhanced recycle program and city-wide clean-up program.
Council members were concerned about the public's reception to a rate increase and advised Olson justification will be needed to garner support from the citizens.
Some council members have already received calls from citizens who have learned about the proposed rate increase.
Mayor Jim Restucci said last year's rate increase was the first in many years. He said previous council members did not raise utility rates for several years, but the citizens want to know why rates are being increased and how the funding will be used.
"We aren't raising rates because we are misusing the money," he said, sharing examples of services for which the funding is used.
Olson was told he could use the wastewater treatment plant as an example of wise spending because of the awards it has earned.
The water fund is expected to lose about 10 percent ($1 million) of its revenues, the sewer fund revenues are projected at a 16 percent increase and the solid waste fund is projected at a 3 percent increase.
The jail fund generated more than $2.4 million in 2009 and 2010, of which more than $1.5 million was from the U.S. Marshal Service. Because the jail fund revenues are from non-city sources (100 percent) Olson told the council members he would like the council to consider adding the funding source to the Enterprise Fund.
"As you can see the jail fund is a money-maker," he said.
Revenues projected from the jail fund for 2011 and 2012 are expected to be at a slight decrease.
Moving on through the budget, Olson provided the council with some proposed usage for Capital Improvement funds. There are two funds, the REET 1 and REET 2.
He told council he proposes using REET 1 monies to develop a design for a streetscape plan. For that, he proposed using $50,000. Also, he suggests council use another $150,000 for renovating city hall.
Olson suggested REET 2 funding be utilized for the renovation of the softball infields at Sunnyview Park. He projects about $10,000 in funding could be utilized for the project.
Another project Olson believes would benefit the city is a new playground structure at Sunnyside's Central Park. He said REET 2 funding could be used for the project.

Brazo de Mercedes is a type of rolled cake (sometimes referred to as jelly roll) made from a
sheet of soft meringue with custard filling. This heavenly cake can be considered as one of the
all-time favorites in the Philippines.What I like most about this cake is the sponge like texture
of the meringue that literally melts in my mouth. The light flavor of the meringue is balanced
by the flavor of the rich custard filling. This is truly amazing!
Most of you might be thinking that this rolled cake is hard to create; you might be surprised
how easy it is to make your own Brazo de Mercedes after reading this post and watching the
cooking video. I won't extend the introduction because I know that most of you are eager to
start working on this project (I am getting at least 17 requests per day for this recipe).
Brazo de Mercedes Recipe
10 large raw eggs, yolks and whites separated
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons confectioners sugar
14 ounces condensed milk
Cooking Procedure
1. Combine egg whites and cream of tartar then beat using an electric mixer until soft peaks
2. Make the meringue by gradually adding the granulated sugar while mixing the ingredients.
Continue mixing until the texture is semi-firm.
3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
4. Place wax paper on top of a cookie sheet or large rectangular baking pan and grease the
5. Place the meringue on top of the greased wax paper then spread evenly using a spatula.
6. Bake the meringue for 20 to 22 minutes or until the color of the top part turns light to
medium brown.
7. While the meringue is in the oven, make the filling by combining the egg yolks and
condensed milk in a small cooking pot. Apply heat and cook the mixture while continuously
stirring until the texture becomes thick.
8. Add the vanilla extract to the condensed milk and egg yolk mixture, turn off the heat, and
mix thoroughly. Set aside.
9. Remove the meringue from the oven and cool down for a few minutes.
10. Sprinkle the confectioners sugar on top of the meringue then place wax paper on the top
part of the meringue followed by a similar sized baking pan or tray. The meringue should now
be in the middle of two baking trays.
11. Flip the meringue: the new cookie sheet/baking tray placed on top should now be below.
Remove the baking tray and the wax paper (you should now see the opposite side of the
baked meringue) then spread the filling (cooked egg yolks, condensed milk, and vanilla extract
mixture) over the meringue.
12. Roll the meringue. Complete rolling side to side starting at the longest side. Make sure
that the layer with filling is rolled inward.
13. Transfer to a serving plate then serve.
14. Share and enjoy!

Rated 5 out of 5 by buenabuenamorena from Super Neon! When it comes to pink, in my little world at least, there's simply no such thing as 'too neon'. And so I have a hard time finding pink things that are... well... neon enough. Most things billed as 'neon pink' are too pastel, or too purple-ish, or too dull, or too... non-neon. Not these. These are blindingly, awesomely, in-yer-face HOT pink. I love them absolutely to death. The seams are in well-chosen places. If you size down, these can serve a useful role as compression shorts if your workouts are intense enough.

Editor's note: This post was originally published December 1, 2012.
The holidays are a time for giving, but it's a hard lesson to teach kids who are eagerly awaiting a stash of presents. Not everyone has the money or resources to volunteer or make charitable contributions. Even if you do, it's hard to find volunteer spots that are appropriate for younger kids, and it's even harder to engage kids in a cash donation. Here are five simple ideas for low-cost things you can do as a family to spread the holiday cheer and teach your kids the meaning of the season.
- Make ornaments or gifts for a local senior center or hospital. Be sure to call first and make arrangements and don't forget to ask about restrictions they may have around materials (food items, glitter, etc.).
- Make holiday cards for the troops.
- Gather clothes that don't fit and donate them to charity.
- Have the kids set aside toys they no longer play with. It can be difficult to donate old toys, but you can often sell them on Craigslist or eBay. Take the money and either sponsor a family for Christmas or donate it to a charity.
- Roll up your spare change and buy food to give to a local food bank. Let the kids choose what to buy. This one doubles as a math lesson as you sort/count the change and budget for what to purchase!
Remember, this is meant to be a family exercise. Let your kids take the lead as much as possible based on their age and ability. Don't forget to talk about why you're giving your time and who you're trying to help. When you're done, discuss the experience as a family. Ask your kids for other ideas they have for helping out others.
Does your family do something special to help your kids understand the meaning of the holidays?

Seafood specialist ProFish launched a sustainable seafood program three years ago, but in June took its eco-friendliness a step further. A new program, dubbed Carbon Fishprint, gives operators guidance on the environmental impact of the production, harvesting and/or transportation of the species they serve.
It was created in response to increasing environmental-related questions and purchasing specifications, particularly from large-volume accounts such as Bon Appétit, Sodexo and Hilton Hotels, notes John Rorapaugh, director of sustainability. Ultimately, when Bon Appétit announced its goal of becoming carbon neutral and asked vendors to follow "carbon-minded practices," ProFish came up with the ideaof assigning a Fishprint score for each species it sells.
"When we started assessing how to rate each species, we discovered that as much as 90 percent of the carbon expended has to do with method of harvest. If a net is dragged between two boats, for instance, that's double the fuel spent and double the manpower to harvest compared to lobster caught in stationary pots from a single boat. Distance from shore to catch and from dock to distributor also impact its score."
Atlantic Albacore tuna, for example, has a Fishprint of 17 compared to Pacific tuna's 39. "Pacific harvesters go out 300 miles while Atlantic tuna is caught 50 miles off the coast," Rorapaugh says. "The boats are bigger and more fuel is used to harvest Pacific tuna and transport it to the East Coast. If you're trying to be carbon-minded, the scores help you make an informed decision."
Other factors that go into the ratings include whether the species is wild or farmed, the amount of energy used for farmed fish and energy and manpower spent on conversion and freezing. Each applicable factor is assigned a score and the points are totaled to arrive at the product's Carbon Fishprint, which is posted on the ProFish Web site.
"Customers can click on a species and get a breakdown of how we arrived at its rating," notes Rorapaugh, who says the scores range from eight to 40. "Within that range, we come up with a median, let's say 22," he says. "For lack of a better term, that's the neutral point. So a chef can buy a lot of 15s and balance them out with an occasional 30 or 35 and still feel they're purchasing responsibly."

Francis, Rockies down Padres
Denver, CO – Wilin Rosario and Dexter Fowler each belted solo home runs to back six strong innings from Jeff Francis, as the Colorado Rockies came through with a 5-2 victory over the San Diego Padres to make their 2013 home opener a success.
Troy Tulowitzki added two hits, including a two-run double in the third inning, to help the Rockies to a third straight win following an extra-inning Opening Day loss at Milwaukee on Monday.
"We tried to treat it like it was any other game, but it was an exciting day for sure," Francis said. "It's good to get a win."
Francis (1-0) did his part as well, limiting the Padres to five hits and not allowing a run after the first inning. The left-hander also struck out five while issuing just one walk.
San Diego starter Jason Marquis (0-1) surrendered all five Colorado runs, though just two were earned as the result of an error by Everth Cabrera that led to the Rockies scoring three times in the third, over six innings of work.
Jesus Guzman paced the Padres offensively by going 2-for-4 with an RBI in the setback, San Diego's third in four outings to begin the season.
The Padres appeared poised to maintain a 1-0 lead after Marquis induced Josh Rutledge into a slow grounder with two out in the bottom of the third. Cabrera couldn't come up with the roller, however, as Chris Nelson -- who led off Colorado's half of the frame with a single -- crossed the plate from third base.
Carlos Gonzalez then drew a walk before Tulowitzki drove both runners home with a deep drive to base of the wall in left center for a 3-1 Colorado advantage.
Rosario extended the margin by crushing a spinning slider from Marquis into the left-field seats in the fourth, and Fowler made it a 5-1 game an inning later by launching a full-count offering off the second deck facade in right.
"The three sliders that [Marquis left] up in the zone; they didn't pop them up, they didn't take them, they didn't swing and miss," said Padres manager Bud Black. "They did the damage, two homers and Tulo's double."
San Diego touched Francis for a run in the first, when Cabrera singled and stole second before coming home on Guzman's bloop base hit to left, but the Colorado lefty was stingy over the remainder of his stint. He stranded runners at third in both the second and third innings, then yielded just one hit over his final three frames.
The Padres were able to scratch home an unearned run off reliever Adam Ottavino in the eighth. An error by Colorado third baseman Reid Brignac put a man on for Carlos Quentin, who laced a double down the left field line to bring home Cabrera from second.
Ottavino set down the next two hitters to end any remaining threat, and Rafael Betancourt fanned two while giving up only a single in the ninth to nail down his second save of the season.
Game Notes
The Rockies have now hit 10 home runs over their first four games, with Fowler accounting for three of those and Rosario going deep for a second straight contest ... Prior to Friday's result, Colorado's most recent victory in a home opener also came against the Padres, a 7-0 triumph on Apr. 9, 2010. The Rockies had lost their Coors Field debut in each of the past two seasons ... Colorado first baseman Todd Helton started his 16th straight home opener, while Francis was pitching in his first despite standing second in franchise history in games started (174) ... Marquis, a former Rockie, started Colorado's home lid-lifter during his lone season with the club in 2009, and notched the win in a 10-3 verdict over Philadelphia ... Francis joined Aaron Cook as the only pitchers in Rockies history to log 1,000 innings with the club.

MONTREAL – A 12-year-old boy was charged Tuesday in connection with the shooting death of his older brother in a case that has devastated a family and left neighbours in disbelief.
The boy, wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt and striped trackpants, stood expressionless in a Montreal courtroom as he was charged with manslaughter and illegal possession of a loaded, prohibited weapon.
While authorities did not lay murder charges in Monday's death of his 16-year-old sibling, they did not describe the shooting as a complete accident either.
"Obviously because he's charged with manslaughter, it's not an accident — the evidence doesn't show it's an accident," said Crown prosecutor Marie-Claude Bourassa, without revealing the suspected circumstances.
"We just study the evidence and charge as the evidence leads us, and in this case, the evidence leads us to these very serious charges."
Due to his young age, the boy faces a maximum sentence of three years in youth detention if convicted. He cannot receive an adult sentence.
His identity as well as his brother's cannot be revealed because they are minors.
The boy will remain in custody and is due back in court Friday for a bail hearing.
The prosecution, which offered few details about the case, is expected to provide more evidence to the defence from the ongoing investigation.
"We objected to his release today based on the gravity of the offences and because of the information that we have as of now," said Bourassa, who noted it was too early to say whether the Crown would ask Friday that he remain detained.
When asked by a reporter whether the boys' parents could face charges, Bourassa replied: "For now, we don't know. Like I said, it's an ongoing investigation and there are a lot of people to be met."
Police say the teenage victim was shot in the upper body with a handgun they said could have belonged to a family member.
The boy was arrested Monday evening after the shooting at the family's suburban Dorval home. He was questioned by investigators overnight, until 5:30 a.m.
The suspect was accompanied by a parent during the interrogation.
"It's a devastating situation," Bourassa said.
"He's 12 years old, so you can imagine how his parents and the family members would feel."
Less than 24 hours after his brother's death, the boy was straight-faced as he stood before Judge Elaine Demers in the defendant's box. His parents and a group of relatives looked on from the gallery.
His mother sat on the edge of her seat in the front row of the courtroom as another woman clutched her left arm. The mother lightly shook her head a few times during her son's brief appearance.
At one point during the proceeding, the mother stood up and started crossing the courtroom floor toward her son. She was stopped in her tracks by a defence lawyer who told her she was not permitted to do so.
Several of the boy's relatives looked exhausted and a couple of them slouched in their courtroom seats before his appearance began.
"This is a very sad event," police spokesman Simon Delorme said early Tuesday.
Delorme said police will not reveal the calibre of the gun, or whether it was registered, until investigators are finished meeting with potential witnesses.
The Crown, citing the investigation, also declined to discuss where the gun came from or where the suspect may have obtained it.
The boy, however, has had a run-in with police in the past. Bourassa told reporters he has an unrelated, pending court case for shoplifting.
Police said someone called 911 around 5:30 p.m. Monday to report the shooting in Dorval, west of the city. Paramedics tried to treat the seriously injured teenager, who was later declared dead at the hospital.
A spokeswoman for the local school board said counsellors were dispatched to the boys' schools to offer help for students and staff affected by the shooting.
A neighbour described the family in glowing terms. He shared his sadness at seeing one of the parents arrive at the house and leave in a "hysterical" state.
"That mom is one of the nicest ladies you probably have ever met in your life, so sweet and so kind and generous," the man said.
"I could never imagine what they're going through at this time of tragedy. I's very sad."
The neighbour had similar praise for the two boys, whom he said would sometimes offer to help him bring in the groceries.
"The boys are well brought-up, well-raised, very polite," he said.
"For their age, to be that polite was always a shock to me. I was always astonished about how polite they are."

A newly leaked O2 Germany document is the first piece of evidence from a service provider confirming that the HTC One mini and HTC One Max are indeed real. The document lists a silver HTC One Max, and the HTC One mini is listed in both silver and black. The O2 document does not contain any details regarding the launch dates for the HTC One Max or HTC One mini, but multiple rumors suggest that the two phones will be available sometime during the third quarter.
HTC One Max (aka the HTC T6) is said to feature a 5.9-inch 1920 x 1080 pixel display with a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 clocked at 2.3 GHz, 3300 mAh battery and the same UltraPixel camera and BoomSound experience as the HTC One. An early sketch of the phone claimed the device would measure 140.4mm in length with the thickness of 9.4mm. HTC One mini is expected to run Android 4.2.2 with a 1.4GHz dual-core processor, 4.3-inch 720p display, 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage and an Ultrapixel camera capable of shooting HTC Zoes and capturing full HD video. Both the HTC One mini and HTC One Max are expected to feature the same zero-gap aluminum construction as the HTC One.
While the HTC One mini will be going head-to-head with the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini in the mid-range segment, the HTC One Max is poised to take on the Sony Xperia Z Ultra, Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and other devices looking to bridge smartphone-tablet gap.
If given the choice to buy the HTC One, HTC One mini or HTC One Max, which would you choose?
