Beast Wars Transformers Claw Jaw Toy Review
Tech Specs:
Name: Claw Jaw
Function: Underwater Attack
From the deepest, coldest depths of the sea, Claw Jaw emerges to attack Predacon enemies that stray too close to his underwater lair. By wrapping his eight powerful arms around them in a constrictive vice grip, Claw Jaw drains his victim's powers by extracting Energon from their bodies through his suction-cup arms. The four razor-sharp fangs surrounding this cyber squid's mouth make him a potent warrior, as does his robotic metal-slashing claw weapon.

Claw Jaw is a basic sized Maximal toy. Although not highly regarded by fans, I think this toy is quite cool and fun to play with. Add to that it was one of the few aquatic Maximals at the time, and you have one interesting and fun toy.
Beast Mode:
In beast mode, Claw Jaw is a squid. His colors are vibrant and beautiful all at once. His arms are orange. His tentacles are a metallic red with purple details. The squid head area follows this color scheme as well, with yellow and black used for the eyes. The detail level on this toy is nice, with the nicest details being the suction cups on his arms and tentacles.
Claw Jaw has four primary points of articulation in this mode. That is unusual for any Beast Wars toy, but one must consider that squids don't have all that much articulation to begin with. Also, his lack of articulation in his six arms actually allows the toy to stand, much better than having a Transformer having to flop onto his back whenever in beast mode.
Claw Jaw's action feature relates to how real squid eat. Push the lever on his back and his mandible moves to seek out victims! Quite creepy looking and fun.
Transformation to Robot Mode:
Begin Claw Jaw's transformation by removing the orange "V" shaped piece on the lever on his back. Set that piece aside. Next, split the halves of the top of his squid head to form the robot legs. Fold that entire section down a bit, and then rotate it around. Swing back the arms and fold the robot head up. Now place the "V" shaped weapon into his hands using the peg in hole system, and Claw Jaw is in robot mode!
Robot Mode:
In robot mode, Claw Jaw looks a lot more organic than robotic. Most of his color scheme from the squid mode carries over to this mode, but a lot more orange is visible, mostly on his torse, but also his thighs. The design is very smooth and flowing, appropriately so. However, that only leaves his robot feet and thighs as robotic looking pieces. Even the robot mode hed is very smooth and organic looking, not robotic at all. Depending on your personal aesthetic, that may or may not be a good thing.
Claw Jaw does look impressive however. The two sections of squid arms that are on his back resemble wings, and sharp points on his head, robot feet and lower arm designs all add to a very sleek appearance. His action feature still works in this mode too. Push the lever on his back and his mandibles reach out again, this time wide out in the open! As a robot, Claw Jaw has fifteen points of articulation. This includes waist articulation.
Claw Jaw is a basic toy, so there's not anything terribly complex about him. However, he has an unusual beast mode and is fun to play with. A
Additional Notes (June 2012):
Much like Spittor, Claw Jaw is one of the most "organic" looking Beast Wars Transformers out there. Almost all his parts look organic in nature. You could perhaps say his legs look somewhat robotic, but that's about it. Even his head sculpt looks like some organic alien, and these are good things in my book. I also love his beast mode, which looks wonderfully creepy despite its bright colors. This is truly one of the cooler examples of the "basic" scale of Beast Wars figures.

Does Size Really Matter?September 14, 2016 at 10:45 PM | Posted in Film Reviews, Movies | Leave a comment
Tags: indie film, Zoom
SPOILER WARNING: This movie review contains major spoilers. Read at your own risk.
In these times where body shaming on social media has become more and more prevalent, one movie attempts to address the issue and among others with wry humor.
Zoom is a Canadian indie film about three characters who find themselves in a story written by the other. It's generally a satire movie about body objectification and the creative process involved in writing books and making films. The movie stars Gael Garcia Bernal, Alison Pill, Jason Priestly, and Mariana Ximenes.
It tells the story of Emma, a young comic book artist who works at a factory that makes sex dolls. She sculpts and paints sex dolls while drawing comic book characters on the side. One day her co-worker/boyfriend Bob saw one of her drawings and points out that she could never be as voluptuous and big-breasted as the female superhero in her comics. Taking offense, Emma draws a new character named Edward in her comics – a guy possessing all the qualities of her ideal man. In her comics, Edward is a famous movie director – handsome, smart, charming and popular with the ladies.
This is where Zoom starts to get interesting. In Edward's world, he is struggling to complete a new movie against the pressure of a major film studio. The movie script is incomplete and Edward wants to make it as an art house film. The problem is, the film studio wants a typical action-packed, Hollywood-style movie with lots of explosions – something that he really wants to avoid.
Edward's movie is about a female model named Michelle who wants to become a writer. Her boyfriend Dale is not as supportive of her plans as she expected. So she leaves their shared apartment and goes to Brazil. It's while she's in Brazil where she starts writing her novel.
Eventually, Edward realizes that he's just a character in Emma's comics, while Emma soon learns that she's only a fictional character in the book that Michelle is writing. Michelle, on the other hand, also realizes that she's just a part of Edward's movie. She doesn't even know that she's an actress in the movie.
Zoom splits between the real world, the comic book world, and the movie world. It's reminiscent of Stranger Than Fiction, A Scanner Darkly and Inception. It also reminds me of A-ha's comics-inspired "Take On Me" music video back in the '80s. It's a shame that I don't get to see Gael Garcia Bernal in his true form as he only appears in his comic book form in the movie.
Unfortunately, the movie doesn't have enough depth and fails to explore and develop the characters. Zoom is muddled, silly, absurd and has no direction. Its attempt as an art house film is as unsuccessful as Edward's efforts in his movie. The ending is a big question mark as the viewers are left wondering what happened to the characters.
What happens to Michelle after she wrote those words in her book? Why is Emma working in that perverted factory in the first place when she could have used her talent somewhere else? What happens to Edward and his unfinished movie? I guess we'll never know since they are already "smeared" in the comics.

Short but Sweet

Oh Pepper - you are a Godsend medicine with beautiful FLOPPY ears.ReplyDelete
Oh, sweet Maggie-girl. My heart hurts for your daughter, Annie, as I know (I think) some of the pain she is feeling. I have always had a hard time with good-byes. Though part of me knew it wasn't personal, I always cried and felt like it was my fault for the good-byes. Also, I felt like "Why do the people that I love always "go away"? In all honesty, I still struggle with that sometimes. I pray that Maggie doesn't feel that way. And, if she does... that she will find Healing for that hurt in her heart and soul. Abandonment at a very young age does horrible things to a child. I am so Thankful that Maggie has a Mommy and Daddy that will hold her close and tell her that they will always be there for her. I often wonder how a small child can even think that it was something they did to make everyone they love "go away". I'm rambling...sorry.ReplyDelete
I'll miss seeing Pepper here and on FB. But, I look forward to meeting the next new Foster!
Much love to you all. Special Hugs to Maggie. - Jo

text: The Minister was aware of the content of the meeting before we met and knew I was looking for a form of governing of Universities and colleges. Given Universities autonomous status the Minister discussed the option she was investigating was to state clearly her expectations surrounding support for GBV in her Ministerial letter of guidelines to the SFC. She gave me her repeated assurance if sufficient evidence wasn't reported back to the SFC then funding would be cut and no leniency shown. She then kept in touch with me throughout the drafting process and we discussed this with key partners at the Equally Safe in Higher education workgroups that the Minister set up.

The significance of Eagle Scout Rank
The fact that a boy is an Eagle Scout has always carried with it a special significance, not only in Scouting but also as he enters higher education, business or industry, and community service. The award is a performance-based achievement whose standards have been well-maintained over the years. Only about 5 percent of all Boy Scouts earn Eagle Rank. This represents more than 2 million Boy Scouts who have earned the rank since 1912.
To earn the Eagle Scout rank, the highest advancement rank in Scouting, a Boy Scout must fulfill requirements in the areas of leadership, service, and outdoor skills. Since troop 610's inception in 1995, over 70 Scouts have worked for and earned their Eagle Scout Rank.
Eagle Scout Required Merit Badges
The current requirements for Eagle Scout, the highest rank in Boy Scouting, includes earning 21 merit badges with at least 13 from this list:
Eagle Scout Projects
The Eagle Scout Service Project, or more simply the Eagle Project, is the opportunity for a Boy Scout to demonstrate leadership of others while performing a project for the benefit of his community. This is the culmination of the Scout's leadership training, and it requires a significant effort on his part. The project must benefit an organization other than the BSA, but it cannot be performed for an individual or a business or be commercial in nature. It is a requirement in order for Boy Scouts to attain the Eagle Scout Rank.
A written plan must be submitted using the BSA Eagle Scout Leadership Service Project Workbook and be pre-approved by the benefiting organization, the Scoutmaster, the unit committee, and a district representative, before work on the project can begin.
After the project is complete, the Scout will update the workbook where he will discuss the methods in which he gave leadership, ways in which the plan may have had to change and the benefits of the project to the community.
Examples of recent troop 610 Eagle Scout service projects include:

"With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible."
Mark 10:27
In the Name of Jesus. Amen.
Such words of our Lord as the words above have a specific context which Jesus speaks them. Here, Jesus is not talking about overcoming every obstacle, climbing every mountain, or prospering in life. The context in which our Lord speaks is quite different.
Jesus had just relayed to the disciples how difficult it is for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of God (Mark 10:23-25), to which the disciples responded, "Who then can be saved?" (Mark 10:26). It is at this point that Jesus then says, "With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible."
Note the it that Jesus references. That it references the salvation that the disciples ask of. This means that salvation is impossible with men, but not with God. Thus, the all things that Jesus speaks here, contextually, is that of salvation.
I know of only one other place in the New Testament where similar words are spoken. However, these words are given in a very different context than that of salvation. The context is that of the angel Gabriel announcing to Mary that Elizabeth, who is beyond the age of child bearing, had conceived a son (Luke 1:36). The angel then concludes the announcement, "For with God nothing will be impossible" (Luke 1:37).
The pair of phrases addressed here each has its own context in which it is spoken. However, each is often used apart from its context, and often for personal, self-help, motivational encouragement. Doing this, however, is a misuse use of the text, applying it in ways not intended, and doing so also demonstrates a use of the text according to one's own circumstances and inclinations rather than that of the Holy Scripture.
Divorced from context, the content of the passage becomes divorced from its biblical meaning. And though this not be the concern of many a people, it is a concern for all who seek to be faithful to the Biblical text itself and its intended meaning.
Confining oneself to the words, context, and meaning of the sacred text of the Holy Bible is not only faithful practice, but is the very means by which the Lord draws us to Himself, even to Jesus, through whom salvation is certain (i.e. John 20:31). The Lord doesn't give us His Word that we determine its application. Rather, He gives us His Word that we might believe it, and believing it, that we abide by it, and so live through faith in Him who died and rose again.
It's a "slippery slope" to use the Bible in ways not given. Remaining with the context, however, leads us to rightly believe, and firmly to trust, in Jesus.
Additionally, if one passage, like Mark 10:27 (or Luke 1:37), doesn't do for us what we would like it to do, that's okay, because the Lord directs us with His Word where He wants us to be and where He wants us to go, that is, in and to His Kingdom. Amen.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, help us to deny ourselves and to entrust ourselves into your keeping, that we not misuse Your Hold Word or try to make it say what we want it to say for our own ends. Move us to believe what you say, that we grow in grace and true knowledge of You. Amen.

The Blackheath Revolt was founded in 2014 by a group of Radicals who between them have fifteen years experience of living in the area.
- Blackheath – not just the village, but the surrounding area including Lee, Shooters Hill and beyond
- Revolt – at least part of the reason for this blog's existence is to act as a modest, somewhat disinterested, counterpoint to the cosy consensus that, as we see it (often after a few sherries), exists at present.
But in the main you should view this blog – and the associated Twitter – as being a Private Eye for the local area. We aim to offer a:
– random, but regular;
– relevant, but irreverent; and
– loquacious but not lengthy account of local life.
So, if you want to know which is the best pub in village (and beyond); if, like we Radicals, you think what the village really needs is a cheese shop and more bike racks; and if – like us – there are few things more amusing than a crying Frenchman*, then this is the blog for you.
* And in this respect we can take inspiration from local legend General Wolfe – of statue by Royal Observatory fame – and, more importantly, 'Victor of Quebec'.

When you pick up your prescription, most people grab the bag they are given, pay their bill, and go on their way. We usually do not question the pharmacist and assume that our medicine is correct. But pharmacists are human and they make mistakes, too. Unfortunately, when a pharmacist makes a mistake it could cost someone their life. When a pharmacy error occurs, many times it is discovered that the pharmacist breached a duty of care.
The pharmacist has a duty of care to you, the patient.
Pharmacists have a duty to patients to follow a standard of care and do their job correctly. There are many steps that pharmacists take in order to prevent mistakes and ensure that patients receive the right medicine, including:
- checking with the doctor if a written prescription is unclear;
- double checking dosage amounts and dosage instructions;
- checking that the labels match patient information.
Many times, pharmacists fail to follow the proper steps to ensure safety when filling prescriptions, or simply make mistakes while performing their job.
Mistakes can occur in too many ways to count.
Pharmacist malpractice can occur in many ways, including filling prescriptions incorrectly, improper bottle labeling, improper dosage instructions, or failing to check dangerous drug interactions. Often, pharmacists mistake similar-sounding drugs, or hand the wrong prescription to the wrong person.
Patients can file a pharmacy malpractice lawsuit in order to receive compensation for injuries caused by negligent pharmacist actions. Usually, a pharmacy lawsuit has to prove that
- The pharmacist had a duty of care
- The pharmacist breached that duty of care
- The patient was harmed because of that breach of care.
Our firm has represented many clients who were injured because of pharmacy malpractice. Order our free book if you want to learn how to hold a pharmacy accountable for mistakes. You can also contact our pharmacy error attorneys at 888-526-7616 for a free, no obligation case review.

Eggcellent! 10 Breakfast Ideas For Kids
What to get onto the breakfast table that is "colourful,appetizing and healthy" all at the same time, for the little fussy eater can be really tough!
We've scoured through Jamie and Mamma cookbook to get a bunch of breakfast ideas that are pretty straightforward and look so good that most children will be tempted to give them a go.
- Add a pinch of salt to the idli batter.
- Heat a little water in the idli steamer and grease the moulds with ghee.
- Pour 1 tbsp of batter in each mould leaving some space for it to rise.
- Steam the idli for 10 minutes or till your toothpick comes out clean.
- Use the raspberries to add some colour on the plate.
A healthy breakfast idea packed with carbohydrates, fibres and proteins.
- Cheese Omelette.
- Spinach and feta chicken sausage bites.
- Strawberry jam on toast in bite size pieces.
All appetizing colors loaded onto a plate full of happiness!
- Finely cut methi leaves, add flour, turmeric, and salt and knead the dough. Keep it aside for 5 mins. Then make dough balls. Roll them a little and add grated cheese then fold that roll out to required size. Fry out on pan.
- Apply ghee on top.
- Serve with a bowl of fruit yoghurt and fruits.(Incase you don;t find fresh strawberries, you could add diced watermelon or mangoes).
Great breakfast to build immunity.
- To make the chocolate and strawberry pancake mini muffins – add a tbsp of cacao powder to your usual pancake mix. Top it up with strawberry and chocolate chips . Bake at 425F for about 9-10 mins.
- Serve this along with something else that you've been trying to get the little one to eat, they'll happily eat everything!
#Do you know why chocolate melts in your mouth? Because it is the only food that melts at 93 degrees Fahrenheit, below the average human body temperature.
- An omelette cooked old style (just butter and salt) a croissant with chocolate syrup on top and some orange slices.
- Substitute the chocolate syrup with peanut butter.
Oranges are well known for their vitamin C content, which helps absorb iron, increases the hemoglobin count, and prevents fatigue and dizziness,in kids.
- A baked egg muffin in a spinach 'basket' with lemon pepper seasoning, a slice of chocolate cake, and apple slices.
The only thing that limits you with the cooking of an egg is your imagination. You could scramble some eggs for a quick-and-easy healthy breakfast. You could upgrade to an omelette by chopping some veggies and adding mozzarella cheese with a dash of hot sauce. Or you could make an egg sandwich with spinach and tomato. You could also boil a few eggs, sprinkle them with a bit of salt and pepper, and cut them up for a tasty addition to your salad.
- Pancakes ( 1 1/2 cups milk, 2 tsp lemon juice, 2 tbsp sugar, 1 1/2 cups self-raising flour, 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 egg, lightly beaten, 2 tbsp butter, melted 4 tbsp butter for greasing the pan)
- In a bowl, place the milk, lemon juice and sugar together and whisk. Leave to stand for 5 minutes. The milk will take on a curdled appearance but that's fine.In a bowl, sift the flour and bicarbonate soda and whisk in the curdled milk mixture.Whisk in the egg and cooled, melted butter until well combined. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake.
- Load up with strawberry, black grapes or any other fruit that you have available in your kitchen that add's an interesting dimension to your masterpiece.
- You can also add some honey on the top to make it a little moist.
The satisfaction only comes when your little one eats everything on the plate, (HAPPILY!) Making different shapes does motivate kids to try something new and then eventually liking what they try.
- Oatmeal cooked in whole milk with some raisins and honey, topped with chiaseeds, hemphearts (these versatile seeds add nutrition and a rich nutty taste to any meal!) , a pinch of cinnamon powder and another of cocoa powder.
The fiber-rich, slow-burn carbohydrates in whole-grain oats supply a steady stream of energy that your kids' bodies and brains can draw upon all morning long.
- Strawberries, kiwi and a french toast-cottage cheese sandwich.
- Place a fresh paneer slice between two french toast slices and sprinkle some cinnamon powder and serve with a dab of maple syrup.Did you know kiwi is a powerhouse of vitamins and minerals.
Don't want to try the usual chilla again, try pesarattu – a south indian dish ,it is a mildly salted crepe made with green lentils, split chick peas and rice flour. The lentils and split chickpeas are soaked overnight. This is made just like dosa and you can add chopped onions, parsley and grated paneer to it and serve with green chutney.This also makes for an ideal breakfast for expecting / feeding moms since it has high levels of iron and folate.

I must admit that this movie made a big impression on me. I mean now I have seen all three movies (the third one here last Tuesday) and this one was really amazing! I'm really into Spider-Man now XD (I even watch the cartoon series on Jetix again!)
I got the DVD in birthday present (see my previously post "My presents" for picture) which is quite a time ago now, even so I want to write my opinion now. :D
- The first thing, the actors did a really great job!
- The second thing, the story was exciting and had a good plot as always ^_^
- The third thing, the special effects was amazingly done!
- The fourth thing, the background music was excellent, inspite of the fact that it wasn't Danny Elfman that composed the music this time, but Christopher Young.
- The fifth thing, I think the ending song was really nice (^.^)b
It's called "Signal Fire" and is sung by Snow Patrol, and here's a fanmade music-video to the Spider-Man 3 movie with this very good song ^_^
Enjoy! XD
(By the way, good work BatBoy13!)

Oh, Mr. Cage, how desperate you must be.
While idly scrolling through an endless minefield of garbage Netflix content, I came across a title just vague and stupid enough to catch my attention. Pay the Ghost? What the hell does that even mean? As a horror/thriller film, the title should be enticing and mysterious, and while that may have been the intention here, reading the words Pay the Ghost just made me laugh instead. What sort of currency do ghosts accept as payment anyway? And what transaction does a ghost need to make? Perhaps there's some ghost convenience store where the spirits peddle their wares from beyond the grave. Whatever the case, it's meant to sound ominous, but no one on the planet can say those three words in a creepy way. But boy, the actors in this film sure do try.
In Pay the Ghost, Nicolas Cage plays a desperate, former A-list actor who is now forced to take whatever role they'll throw his way. Wait…. I have that backwards, sorry. Starting again: Cage plays Mike Lawford, a workaholic literary professor at a prestigious college, who often puts his students before his family. It's a really compelling concept that we've seen thousands of times before. His wife Kristen, played by Prison Break (they're seriously making a season 5?) and The Walking Dead's Sarah Wayne Callies, is barely a character beyond being disappointed in her husband – first for ignoring his family, and then for losing their son. But I'm getting ahead of myself.
Cage is introduced in the film in an absurd sequence the copyright holders blocked me from sharing on YouTube. In this early scene, Cage proves his competency as an engaging literary professor by doing a very animated poetry reading in front of his class on Halloween. The entire film is worth watching for this scene alone. Not only is his performance beyond over-the-top (as only Nicolas Cage can be), we're expected to believe these students find the cartoon voices he adds educational and stimulating. Hell, at the end of the lecture, they even clap for the guy! What is this, Birdemic?
Oh wait….
Of course, while he's busy teaching a class, his son Charlie (Jack Fulton) is at home, eagerly waiting for his dad to take him trick-or-treating. It looks like poor Charlie is about to be let down by his father again. When Cage finally does get back, dressed in a goofy cowboy outfit, Kristen has already taken him out; he's collected his candy and is just about ready for bed. To make up for his father-failure, Mike takes his son to a midnight Halloween carnival, the streets cluttered with costumed citizens and vendors. As they explore the event, Charlie stops to ask his dad: "Can we pay the ghost?" before vanishing into the night. Mike panics and Kristen is devastated: their son is gone.
CUT TO: ONE YEAR LATER. 3 DAYS BEFORE HALLOWEEN. Charlie is still missing. Mike and Kristen's lives have taken a slow downward spiral. Now separated, everything is muted for the former happy couple. Mike can't inspire his students the way he used to, and a traumatised Kristen spends her time listing all the places she sees Charlie throughout her day: on the street, on the subway, in his little school when she passes his friends, in the grocery store, everywhere…. but alas, every time she gets closer, she realises it's not him. Maybe she should cut back on the hallucinogens.
Mike has become obsessed with finding his son in his own way. He constantly pesters the detectives who head up Charlie's case, accusing them of being lazy, often giving them pointers on how to do their jobs. He begins going out daily and posting 'MISSING CHILD' signs all around what is supposed to be New York City.
Looks like they use the same subway system in New York as they do in Toronto, though.
Things really start to get crazy when Cage begins to have visions of his son. He sees him on a public bus, still dressed in the same Halloween costume despite being kidnapped/missing for almost a year. He chases the bus down, only to discover Charlie's seat to be empty once he gets closer. But the vision may not have been a wild goose chase. The bus pulls away, revealing nearby graffiti that intrigues him. Pay the Ghost is written on the wall of an old abandoned subway tunnel.
Investigating further, Cage finds a group of crazy homeless people in the tunnels, who all answer to a blind man. A spooky, 'spirit' noise scares startles everyone, and the homeless people promptly put out their fires – a ritual the blind man claims keeps the ghosts at bay, especially near Halloween. Cage asks them about the graffiti he saw, what pay the ghost might mean, and he gets a very thorough and comprehensive answer in return.
"Just what it says, I guess."
Kristen begins to have visions of Charlie too, and soon finds herself believing her husband's insane stories. So together they call in a psychic, who promptly dies while looking around the boy's bedroom for clues. Specifically, the official cause of death is later deemed to be spontaneous combustion from the inside out. Kristen and Mike are immediately suspects following this unusual death in their home. It's just one ridiculous weak narrative strand after another.
It gets more absurd when the pair finally begin to get some real answers. Cage wakes up the night before Halloween to find Kristen sitting upright on the bed, pale and quivering. She appears possessed as she cuts symbols into her own skin. Thanks to these symbols, the film finally finds a narrative drive with more substance than aimlessly looking for a missing child with no clues other than those three ridiculous titular words.
Investigating the symbols takes them to a pagan ritual in New York, where allegedly, the first Halloween in the United States ever took place. Children sacrifice dolls to a fire, so that a ghost called 'The Crone' won't take them on Halloween night the way Charlie was. When Kristen and Mike show the symbol to an exposition queen attending the ritual, the last hour of this nonsensical film is finally given context. The markings on Kristen's arm is the crone's symbol. When the crone was alive, she saw her three children burned at a stake before being killed herself. Now each year on Halloween, the door between two worlds- living and dead – is temporarily opened and the crone requires an offering, a payment, of three children from the living world to replace her own sons.
The following year, as Halloween nears, there is a brief period where the door between worlds opens again and the children that were taken can reach out to be rescued. For some reason, only the children taken the year prior have the eligibility to be saved. So if Mike and Kristen can't infiltrate the ghost world and get their son back before the end of Halloween night, their chances of seeing Charlie again are gone forever. A most convenient way to add a ticking clock.
I've noticed a surprising amount of similarities between this film and another Nicolas Cage vehicle, The Wicker Man. Now while the latter is a very popular movie, I have to wonder if Cage realises people like it for all the wrong reasons. Did Nicholas Cage mistake all of The Wicker Man mocking for success? Other than for money, of course, why else would he take on a project so obviously similar? Let me break it down. In both films, Nicholas Cage searches for a son/daughter that has mysteriously vanished, and may never have existed at all. They both contain pagan rituals and a bizarre old fashioned cults. The climax of both films have the looming threat of someone being burned alive for some greater cause.
Early on, the film also
rips off pays homage to Stanley Kubrick's classic, The Shining, with a tracking shot sequence following a young boy as he cycles around a narrow hallway.
Anyway: SPOILER ALERT (as if you care) – In the end, Cage enters the other world through the gate the homeless people were guarding. He manages to rescue his son, as well as the two other children who were taken the year before. I suppose those other parents didn't care as much to save their own damn kids. In the final moments, Charlie returns home with no memory of the year that has transpired. I can't help but think that kid will be pretty messed up from that, considering at some point he missed a birthday and isn't aware he's a year older than he thinks. All his friends from school would have moved up a grade by now, won't he notice that?
Not surprisingly, a lot of loose ends are left looming over our heads as the credits roll. Did Nicholas Cage's character ever learn to put family before work? Yes, he went through a lot to rescue his son. But the early scenes focus so heavily on how bad he is as a father, it's amazing the ending doesn't address any change. It's also not clear whether or not the crone was defeated permanently, or if they just rescued the three kids from the year before. In the long run, rescuing three kids seems pretty insignificant if the ghost accepts a payment of three children every year for the last three hundred years. Maybe they thought there'd be a sequel.
Finally, in case it isn't obvious enough, I wouldn't recommend watching this one. With the exception of the early classroom scene, there aren't a whole lot of Nic Cage eccentricities and the movie is a little dull overall. It's not as fun as the absurd title would suggest, sadly.

Long Beach CA, July 07, 2014 -- /EPR NETWORK/ -- Singer, actress and renowned entertainer Leigh Schindler has released her latest single, "Horn in Claw." It has been published on the Lici Records music label. The track is preceded by her November 2013 track, "Which One," and by her 2012 debut EP, "Self-Titled." She is perhaps most often recognized, however, for her startling rendition of "You Know I'm No Good" by Amy Winehouse. The new single, dark, brooding, beautiful and lyrically poignant, showcases Schindler as a thought-provoking, conscientious songwriter of much scope and sonic complexity.
Schindler, who makes her home in Southern California, claims as artistic inspirations artists such as Amy Winehouse, Regina Spektor, the Bird and the Bee, and Ani DiFranco. Intuitively, her own work shares many of the best attributes of these popular musicians, just as each of them dovetail likewise with the work of the others. Schindler's "Horn in Claw" has the jazzy, blue overtone of Winehouse mixed with the uniqueness of Spektor, and given a hint of emotional aggression in the lyrical one-two-punch style of DiFranco.
As the setting for this latest offering, Schindler has painted a grim landscape of "bleached out bones" and "warning cones," peopled by a hopeless and shiftless nation. "They don't care, they just ignore the flies," she sings. The music itself has a smooth surface and lingering, echoing spaciousness like a lake in the inner sanctum of a great cavern, which lends an air of regret and sorrow to the piece. "Horn in Claw" is undoubtedly one of Schindler's most touching singles to date.
Leigh Schindler has been singing since she was a little girl. "I always used to run around making up songs about anything and everything," she writes. "Life was a musical and things just fell into place."
Originally born in San Diego, Schindler is a graduate of the San Diego School of Creative and Performing Arts and of the Boston Conservatory of Musical Theatre in Massachusetts.
"Horn in Claw" by Leigh Schindler is available online worldwide.

Certainly the grown-up Technic variant, with it gears and cogs and motors, fascinated me the most, and presumably some way into adolescence, as I remember constructing a colourful mechanical Wanking Machine during long periods upstairs in my room. The inevitable problem of round pegs and square holes sadly rendered this particular project fruitless, on many levels, but the manufacturers might like to take note of the idea when planning other themed kits for their teenage boy demographic.Derren Victor Brown

ONE thing you can be certain of is that the future does not take care of itself. As we leave the UK recession behind us, a valuable lesson has been learned. More of us now accept that the future is not going to take care of itself financially.
It never was going to before but when the economy is booming, there is always the misguided belief that both money and work will always be readily available.
There are also notable changes which affect our finances today which were not of concern 10 years ago. For instance, university education is no longer free for our children, with the average cost of a three-year course rising to more than £26,000.The age at which to claim a state pension has been increased. Access to benefits in the case of sickness, unemployment or disability is less straightforward. In essence, we have come to realise that our income may not stretch to meet all of our needs.
For many of us, these are not financial concerns to cause sleepless nights but if we want to ensure our offspring are educated, we live in our own homes and can retire with a reasonable amount of income, then we have to make what we earn today stretch to also provide for tomorrow. Even those who earn sizeable incomes cannot reach these financial goals without addressing the issues early on and it should be a priority for everyone.
The challenge for many people can be knowing how or where to start. This is where a financial adviser can help.
1 If you have a family, then you should consider the options for providing a form of income in the event of you being unable to work due to ill health or to provide for your family in the event of your death.
2 If you want to retire comfortably, then review your current pension plans and check you are investing enough. There are alternative ways to invest for retirement and a financial adviser can advise you about your options.
3 If you want to help your children financially when they go to university or to pay for a private education, then establish a timeframe, a desired sum to accumulate and speak to an adviser about how to save tax efficiently or invest to reach your goal.
4 If you have money which is scattered in a variety of savings or investment accounts, make sure you know what you have and where it is. If you find these difficult to manage, consider whether to consolidate some accounts for ease of administration, but do ensure you are not losing valuable benefits or incurring unnecessary costs in doing so.
5 If you have wealth to pass on when you die, find out more about inheritance tax planning and take steps to bequeath your estate to your beneficiaries without them paying more tax than they need to.

ADRIAN, Mich. – The Adrian College men's basketball team lost to Trine University 83-56 in a Michigan Collegiate Athletic Association contest on Wednesday, Jan. 9.
Final Score: Trine 83, Adrian 56
Location: Adrian, Mich. (Merillat Sport and Fitness Center)
Records: Adrian 3-11 (0-3 MIAA), Trine 9-5 (2-1 MIAA)
The first 10 minutes of the game was even, with neither team leading by more than four points and the score even at 14-14 with 9:23 remaining in the period. Then Trine scored nine unanswered points to open a comfortable lead. The Thunder's run was halted by a pair of three-pointers by Tre'Shon Heard. Those six points by Heard were part of an 11 point first half performance from the junior guard, including hitting all three of his attempts from deep. The last minute before the halftime buzzer was entertaining, with each team taking multiple attempts from under the basket and grabbing the offensive boards on their final possessions. When the buzzer sounded, it would be Trine with a 41-29 lead at the break.
Trine was able to pad its lead in the second half and went on to win the contest 83-56. AC shot only 28.6% from the floor while the Thunder connected at a 52.3% clip. The Bulldogs did win the rebounding battle, grabbing 41 boards to Trine's 37, led by junior forward Jeremy Kalonji's team-high 13. The Black and Gold were crashing the offensive glass hard, with 17 of the rebounds coming on the offensive end. Turnovers were in favor of the squad in blue, with Trine forcing 15 Adrian turnovers, leading to 21 points.
• Heard led the Bulldogs with 11 points, all in the first half.
• Kalonji led Adrian with a career-high 13 rebounds, including five on the offensive end.
• Myles Copeland and Langston Johnson led Trine's offensive, with 19 and 16 points, respectively.
• Maurice Hunter collected the most rebounds for the Thunder, corralling nine and adding 10 points from the bench.
Adrian will hit the road for a two-game road trip starting this weekend. The Bulldogs travel to Hope on Saturday, Jan. 12 for a 3 p.m. contest with the Flying Dutchmen and then will visit Olivet on Wednesday, Jan. 16 with tip-off scheduled for 8 p.m.

Quality Score is Google's rating based on the past click through rate and inter-relevance of landing page, keywords and Ads. It determines the bid price of the keywords that are used by your ad and your ad's rank on SERP. Increasing your Quality Scores transversely your account will have gains with lower costs and more spotlights.
There is a myth around the corners, that long tail keywords are given a lower quality score. Despite the fact that these low volume keywords are inclined to have fewer data and certainty, they are not penalized. On the other hand, it is a toughest thing for Google to settle on a quality score, which directs to a "temporary depressive" quality score. The answer here is to delete any extremely low volume keywords that are getting the quality score down on the whole.
The million dollar question is, whether the low volume but high Quality Score long tail keywords spoil the overall performance or not?
The answer is NO – It won't harm - In general a low volume long tail keyword with a high quality score will not hurt your campaign performance as a whole. The keywords to observe are mainly the ones that have a lot of impressions, no click through and a low Quality Score. If you do come across these type of keywords, my advice is to cut off these low performing keywords into their own Adgroup, so it won't damage the overall quality score of the other AdGroup. So the answer is, the low volume long tail keywords with high quality score will not harm the campaign.
Poor keyword relevance is a general reason for low quality score however it actually shouldn't be the case as it's simple to patch up.
Download a list of low quality score keywords and observe if any had converted. Or else, just glance through your keywords and take the one that you think it should work. So, let's say you have low quality score keywords that have a suitable more consequential landing page for them. You can increase the score for those keyword types easily.
Use accurate or possible phrase match at the outset. If you are opting for more generic and not exact keywords – example, clothes, shoes, etc - you won't attain your quality score and there will be no or conversions. So, use only exact match keywords.
Put keywords in your ad copy – compelling ad copy in the first place – A most compelling one is Doing Ad copy testing to increase CTR and thus the QS.
Create planned, tightly themed Ad group - craft as many ad groups as needed to make use of all high-traffic keywords in your ads.
Place keywords sensibly with right density in your landing page. Make sure the landing page is more informative to the user, relevant to that exact match keywords and not looking spammy.
After those steps, if still showing 'poor keyword relevance' while clicking on the speech bubble at the side of your keywords, it's almost certainly intended your keyword is too broad and draws so many impressions. Use those keywords in Google keyword tool or the wonder wheel to observe if it can be wrecked down into sub-topics.

text: Progressive Corporate Governance for the 21st Century is a wide ranging and ambitious study of why corporate governance is the shape that it is, and how it can be better. The book sets out the emergence of shareholder primacy orientated corporate governance using a study of historical developments in the United Kingdom and the United States. Talbot sees shareholder primacy as a political choice made by governments, not a 'natural' feature of the inevitable market. She describes the periods of progressive corporate governance which governments promoted in the middle of the 20th century using a close examination of the theories of the company which then prevailed. She critically examines the rise of neoliberal theories on the company and corporate governance and argues that they have had a negative and regressive impact on social and economic development. In examining contemporary corporate governance she shows how regulatory styles as informed and described by prevailing regulatory theories, enables neoliberal outcomes. She illustrates how United Kingdom-derived corporate governance codes have informed the corporate governance initiatives of European and global institutions. From this she argues that neoliberalism has re-entered ex command transition economies through those United Kingdom and OECD inspired corporate governance Codes over a decade after the earlier failed and destructive neoliberal prescriptions for transition had been rejected. Throughout, Talbot argues that shareholder primacy has socially regressive outcomes and firmly takes a stand against current initiatives to enhance shareholder voting in such issues as director remuneration. The book concludes with a series of proposals to recalibrate the power between those involved in company activity; shareholders, directors and employees so that the public company can begin to work for the public and not shareholders.

I usually do a solid bubblegum pink theme which
looks really good against the chocolate brown
siding but this year I felt like changing it up.
So it is a white and lavender combo. We shall
see. So much fun waiting for the results.
So once again our front room has been turned into a temporary green house. Gotta love a big south facing window! I will add more pictures as these babies start to fill in.

Jam Session
Well one of our busiest Februarys ever has led to a quiet March so far. I think everyone has had enough of winter, even the fun parts. So I turned to restocking the jam cupboard this week. I really do love making jam and preserves. It is incredibly satisfying. Last week it was chutney this week it was peach jam and peach and orange conserve. The later is a very old family recipe from one of my close friends and it smells incredible as it simmers away. It is a no pectin recipe so it needs to reduce in order to set. I think tomorrow may be Warwick's mom's Ripe Tomato Chutney.

A Breath of Spring
Well folks this has been a long time in the making but finally we have a terrific package put together for the coming spring. It was a process that started in November with a "packaging" workshop put on by the province promoting experience based tourism. It has taken many, many hours but it has been a terrific opportunity to meet with so many wonderful people in the valley. It was one of those "easier said than done" things, but done it is and "A Breath of Spring" is it's name. The details are laid out in a link on our website and I really hope you take the time to have a look. It is a women only weekend and features a guided forest walk, plein air art class, container planting class, spa treatment and lots of spring themed food. Click here for details.

Sledding Heaven
Sorry for the lack of posts but I had technical difficulties to solve and I kept procrastinating.
Done now and I am so glad. I have a friend visiting from the UK and actually got out on the trails myself this week. The valley put on quite a show. Absolutely gorgeous. Trails were in terrific shape and could not believe how quiet they were.
This is Thelma all geared up next to the Madawaska River. Great fun was had by all.

Brisket Week
Last week was brisket week. Two were smoked and two were slow cooked. Kind of a meatapalooza!
The inn smelled of spices for days. Both get rubbed and left for two days in the fridge before they are cooked.

|Rubbed and rested for two days.
|It's very heavy!
|Into the fire...well the smoker anyway.
|We wrap after about 6 hours of smoke.
|The smell is amazing! Gotta nibble. These babies will chill
overnight then be sliced and piled onto buns with onions
and our special sauce. To die for.

June 13th Containers
Well it has been a rough spring for the baskets and containers. Very cold and not much sun. Still they are progressing and it is fun to see the progress even if it is slow.
The wash tubs which I covered on the frosty nights
this spring are further along than the baskets
which I brought into the house and left
at the window. Hard to think that with
a bit of luck and sun, that soon the basket will be
hard to see for petunias!
Gardens and lawns are happy with the rain
especially after last years drought.

Let me tell you the story of my cousin: Girl meets boy. Girl falls in love with boy. Girl would like to marry boy. But there is one small issue…his beloved cat. Girl has been allergic to cats her whole life. Now what?
Pet allergies are on the rise in the general population. Fifteen percent of Americans are allergic to cats or dogs, with cat allergies twice as common as dog allergies. At the same time, pet ownership is increasing, with significantly more Americans owning pets today than they did thirty years ago. With rising allergies and increasing pet ownership, our scenario illustrates a common relationship issue today. Is there any hope for our "pet-crossed" lovers?
What causes people's allergies to dogs and cats?
Contrary to popular belief, people are not allergic to the fur of dogs and cats. With dogs, people are allergic to a protein secreted by the oil-producing glands of the dog's skin and saliva. This protein is released in the dead skin cells ("dander") and saliva of the dog. With cats, people are allergic to a protein found primarily in the cat's saliva. Since cats are active groomers, this protein is spread on their haircoat.
When people with pet allergies are exposed to the dog or cat protein (allergen), their immune systems react by going into "overdrive." Their bodies produce antibodies against the allergen. This starts the chain reaction leading to the common clinical signs of allergies. Depending on their sensitivity, this reaction can occur after direct contact with the pet or by simply stepping into the home where an animal lives. People often complain of symptoms very similar to "hay fever" including coughing, wheezing, red and itchy eyes, a runny nose, and repeated sneezing. Sometimes a mild reaction will be delayed and appear hours after contact with the pet.
Some people who think that they are allergic to animals are actually reacting to pollens or molds carried on the haircoat of the animal, but not to the animal protein itself. Medical allergists strongly recommend allergy testing for anyone experiencing symptoms around dogs and cats. It is important to determine what the inciting allergen is in order to create a plan to help reduce symptoms. In many cases this can be performed by a medical doctor with a skin or blood test.
How do people with pet allergies live with a pet?
Environmental Control
First and foremost, it is important to reduce the number of allergens in the environment. A few tips to help make your home pet allergen-free include:
Replace carpet with hard surface flooring wherever possible.
Clean fanatically. Regularly clean drapes, furniture and carpets. Use vacuums with incorporated HEPA filters and double thickness dust bags.
Wash sheets, comforters, and furniture covers twice weekly.
Keep pets out of bedrooms and closets.
If your home has central air conditioning and heating, it is recommended to use a central air cleaner with a HEPA filter and place filters on every vent.
Wipe down the pet's haircoat daily with a damp washcloth, preferably at bedtime.
Medical Control
It is essential to consult with a medical doctor regarding diagnosis and treatment of your pet allergies. Some tips that have helped people control their pet allergies include:
Avoid prolonged contact with the pet. Change clothes and wash hands after an extended interaction.
After consultation with your medical doctor, take appropriate doses of over-the-counter medications, such as antihistamines, decongestants, or nasal steroids, which can bring relief.
Start immunotherapy. A full course of treatment can take years and does not help everyone, but in some situations, allergy shots can be a lifesaver.
Do hypoallergenic pets exist?
There is no such thing as a hypoallergenic pet. Certain dog breeds shed less fur so their dander is less likely to spread throughout the house. But any dog can potentially trigger an allergic reaction in a person. Because there is variation in the canine allergens, a person may have different reactions to individual breeds – even between two dogs of the same breed! Interestingly, it is the opposite with cats. All cats carry the same allergen, and if a person is allergic to cats, they will be allergic to all domestic and wild cats (lions, tigers, etc.).
Is there a way to prevent pet allergies?
Unfortunately, there appears to be a genetic component to pet allergies, so prevention is not always possible. However, being exposed to pets at an early age may help children avoid developing pet allergies. In a study published in the journal Pediatrics, children who lived with a cat or dog in the first year of life had better resistance to upper respiratory infections throughout childhood.
To update the love story: Girl and boy get engaged. Girl undergoes months of immunotherapy. Girl marries boy. Girl and boy live in harmony with his cat and their newly adopted rescue dog. And there is a baby on the way. Now, that is a happy ending!

text: I believe that the reason furniture by Danish designer Hans Wegner are so popular among design collectors, is the expressive forms, demonstrating Wegner's departure from the mere principles of Danish modern design into his own personal expression. Wegner, who designed no less than 500 chairs in his career, created a style that went beyond the functionality of other Danish furniture designs. He collaborated with PP Møbler, a company that produced pieces originally designed for Johannes Hansen, and for whom he designed several chairs late in his life. Here are a couple of examples by Wegner offered next week in the Scandinavian Design auction at Wright Chicago.

You are hereHoC Xbox One Game Recommendation #4: Titanfall
HoC Xbox One Game Recommendation #4: Titanfall
Coming out of the comments and into the limelight
TitanFall was originally further down the recommendation queue until I spotted the Collector's Edition in a local EBGames. For $229! It was in a box so large we would not have been able to fit it in our car. Not that I didn't think of going back and getting the CRV because I totally did think of doing that. This was one massive, huge, gigantic box and I wanted it. Which is why I was crying as I walked away to my suddenly too small car.
I had to read the contents of the box twice to realize that there was no console included. The large sticker price ($229!) was for the included statue. Of a Titan.
Here are some random pictures of the Titan Fall Collector's Edition box:
In case you are wondering the Titan Fall Collector's Edition comes with a massive statue of a Titan which explains the gigantic box.
Contents of the box:
- Collector's Edition Includes
- An exclusive, individually numbered 18 Titan statue, handcrafted and assembled with over 300 individual parts and battery-powered LED lighting
- Full-size, hardcover art book featuring over 190 pages of rare concept art
- Exclusive full-size schematic poster of the Atlas Titan
- Titanfall Game – Introducing the experience that combines fast-paced multiplayer action with dramatic, cinematic moments lets you enjoy the fiction of the universe without having to leave your favorite game mode
- Art Books
- Atlas Collector's Edition Schematics Poster
- Atlas Titan Video Reveal: Collector's Edition FAQ; Universe Navigation
And here is a Box Opening video:
Technically the $229 is a sale price.
Gamerankings Score for Titan Fall - 86.71%.
Herd of Cats posted our own review of the PC version written by SeanMCR. Who rage quit.
Available cheaply now as low as $24.99 (just for the game) as it appears Microsoft is trying to give it away. Or make some extra cash off of the secondary sales of DLC.
Previous Xbox One Game Recommendations:

So why recommend Titanfall? It sucked on the 360 and I can't imagine it being any better on the One. Sure, for $229 I could get a Titan model (and a free kid, apparently), but otherwise, pass. I gave my 360 copy to Prof3ssorM, who doesn't really like it either but hey, free game.
I'll wait for the price to drop more due to limited shelf life.
Which included some really general thoughts on Cod AW, Destiny and NHL 15. Not much, but at least it was something.
I could have, but I believe the entire premise of this series was to recommend games that you did not already have. That is how it started.
By listing those three games as already owned you excluded them from the recommendations.
I consider Destiny and COD: AW as givens and probably would not have included them anyway.
The Xbox One version of NHL 15 would not make it on to any of my recommended lists. I consider it (yet another) insult by EA. The Xbox 360 version is recommended although it might be more practical to just buy NHL 14 again.

A 'Conjuring' Sequel Is Already in the Works and May Haunt Familiar Territory
Man of Steel came out a little over a month ago and has earned $620 million across the globe. We still don't know for sure if it's getting a sequel. The Conjuring hasn't hit theaters yet, hasn't earned a single dime, and the sequel is already in active development. Funny how quickly some films become franchises. (And yes, obviously the massive cost of making a Superman movie has something to do with it.)
Directed by James Wan and written by Chad and Carey Hayes, The Conjuring tells the story of real-life ghost hunters Lorraine and Ed Warren (played by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga) as they attempt to get to the bottom of what's going on in a house the Perron family just moved in to. However, any sequels to the film will then abandon the Perron family's abode and follow the further investigations of the Warrens. And that's a great idea. Most horror franchises stick with one location or one killer; sticking with the Warrens frees up any sequels to go to all kinds of different places and explore different hauntings, which hopefully means they'll stay fresher past the point a lot of franchises go stale.
The real Warrens checked out countless hauntings in their time as professional ghostbusters, including the stories behind The Amityville Horror and The Haunting in Connecticut. One of those will most likely serve as the setting for The Conjuring 2, as it is directly referenced in Wan's movie, though we won't say which one considering the movie isn't even in theaters yet. As for Wan, he's unlikely to return to direct the sequel (he's already moved on to Fast & Furious 7), though the Hayes brothers are returning and have apparently already "interviewed Lorraine Warren extensively as part of developing the script."
As for The Conjuring, sequel or not, we do implore horror fans to check it out this weekend. Having already seen it, we feel very, very safe in saying it's one of the most solid haunted-house movies to come out of Hollywood in quite some time.

December 28, 2012
Hey Bratz Fans!
Our BFF and board member A3BOYZ has spotted the new 2013 Xpress it! dolls at Target! He found Sasha, who was first spotted on Wednesday, and also Yasmin, Cloe, and Jade! On our forum, he was kind enough to share hi-res photos of the dolls with us. Check 'em out below!
As you can see, the Yasmin appears to be the same doll we found nude on taobao a while back. We're loving the bright spring makeup on these girls, especially Cloe! Yas and Cloe have some awesome trendy fashions too, thought we're not totally sold on Jade's dress just yet…
Ammar has also shared a height comparison between Cloe & Barbie's friend Summer too. We knew the girls would be taller, but we were not expecting Barbie's height! This should definitely make for some interesting mixin' & matchin'!
So what are your thoughts on the new Xpress it! Bratz? Let us know on the forum, tweet us @BratzBoulevard, or let us know on facebook at facebook.com/BratzBoulevard!

I went geocaching this morning, because I have a Travel Bug to drop in Canada. But I only found a pile of rubble. Ran into Bruce just getting out of his cab from the airport on the way back.
I presented my tutorial on porting Oracle applications to PostgreSQL in the afternoon. This went quite well, and I received encouraging feedback afterwards. The slides of the presentation should appear on the PGCon web site at the linked URL. For those who were confused by the somewhat cynical tone of the presentation: I have been traumatized a bit by the issue. By and large many applications are quite easy and straightforward to port. I certainly do encourage these efforts.
One thing that came up after the presentation that I have not considered in great depth is the issue of performance of the ported result. In the discussion, a few possibilities were mentioned:
- The Oracle application is so carefully tuned with optimizer hints, it will never perform on PostgreSQL. We probably can't/won't port it.
- Half the time of a porting project will be required to tune the PostgreSQL port, because Oracle optimizes bad queries much better.
- Some things perform better in PostgreSQL, some worse. It probably averages out.
- With the money you save with PostgreSQL, you can afford better hardware.
More insight on this issue would be welcome.
I think I'll go on a second geocaching attempt now and hit the Royal Oak pub later with the rest of the group.
Note for those coming from across the pond: The Champions League final is televised on TSN and RDS beginning at 14:00 tomorrow. You get both of these channels in the university residence. But there's the developer meeting ...

The 120AX Special has the same mounting dimensions as the original, but delivers nearly 10% more power. For starters, the crankshaft port timing has been modified to increase power at high rpm. The velocity stack on the carb adds acceleration at high rpm while a 0.1 mm head gasket increases compression ratio for more power. Pair the 120AX Special with an O.S. E-5020 muffler!
Check out the difference in rpm using an APC 15x10 propeller:
120AX Special: 9,532
Standard 120AX: 9,260
Displacement: 1.218 cu in (19.96 cc)
Bore: 1.197 in (30.4 mm)
Stroke: 1.083 in (27.5 mm)
Practical RPM range: 1,800-9,500
Output: 3.2 PS (3.155 HP) @ 9,500 rpm
The O.S. 120AX Special will be available early May.
OSMG0652 120AX Special Ringed Engine Retail: $499.99 Street: $329.99
Please visit our website osengines.com to see all the fine products in the O.S. line.

Do new gears help?
Do they wear out? Will some old gears just make noise no matter what?
Kouki or Zenki.
Beat is ok, they are getting cut up for an N2 kit.
Not paying $500. More like 1-200.
Pop the cap off and make sure the rotor is sitting on cyl 1 contact. Sometimes caps are off a bit, even 180deg out.
Not sure if it does. He's got a vac manifold setup for now. I've heard of success running them like that, we will see.
Turns out a guy who works at SDS lives about 5min away from Dad, so he's...
Tech questions don't need to be asked anymore. I think everything has come up and can be searched.
Also, nobody drives old Toyotas anymore. And anyone who is new is probably on FB.
^ ya, that's a good one too
Also, everyone speaks English, even if they insist they don't lol
You can stand on a corner with a map looking confused all day and nobody will ever ask if you're...
Just get some 25mm/1" bolt on spacers. Will end up being the same price.
Go to McDonalds once. They serve you a burger that looks like the picture on the menu.
In Shibua, ride the escalator at 109. Trust me.
If a black guy asks you to come into his club, don't.
I'm late to the game.
Take the piece of wire and put it in a drill.
Bicycle brake cable works great. You can run a long length with a frayed end and refresh your whole line if you please. Blow it...
Ya, buy a spool. Sr5 diffs are complicated and not very weldable.
Yes, we like Toyota, that much is clear so far. Who would have thought?
Here is your answer,
If you're a giant company, you lease, because the money you save on a lease, even if it's just small...
Find a brake size calculator online. Someone has probably made an excel spreadsheet to do it. Make sure your master is sized correctly for rotor diameter/wheel diameter/caliper pistons size/master...
I've got a cluster and knob, you can just have it. Text me.
Buy a SAAB 9000 concentric slave off RockAuto and make a mounting plate.
Much more better!
I'm talking fronts.
Ya, quite a bit bigger...? RockAuto probably has sizes hidden somewhere.
Supra/X73 is the same.
X72 (Cressida Wagon) is somewhere between Supra and 86 size and uses the bigger...
4 lug Supra stuff bolts right on.
That driveshaft looks unsafe and not straight. They typically run to the diff, not under it. You have a lot to learn about cars.
It's rusty. You're nuts to even think about shipping an sr5 that far.
Your LS400 steers into a curb. Sometimes having the quietest cabin in existence can be bad...didn't even hear or feel it going.
Was only going like 40...scary to think about what would have happened...
No they won't. I used to do it.
Snapped column from impact (along with every other suspension piece) is pretty common. We would only investigate if you admitted it. Failures were almost never...
Also, are you doing this swap? vvti 1uz is retarded fast.
My advice, harden the **** up and just start doing it.
Nobody knows how to do anything until they've done it, you learn by doing.
I'll say 1u is a perfect match.
1uz with 225s on the back feels just like a stock motor with 185s in the rain...like exactly.
1u keeps the car fun and twitchy, it keeps the spirit of the car, it's...
Anyone have anything for a bluetop? (with ST ITBs would be even better)
Should I just find MS tables and use the same values? (not sure if the chart size is the same)
I've never ran SDS, this...
I'll take them if Trent doesn't.
