Lian-Li Silent Force 750W Review
If you are in the market for a new power supply then consider helping conserve the planet and its already stretched energy resources by choosing an energy efficient unit that meets the requirements of the 80 Plus program. Power supply efficiency is improving all the time and 80 Plus certification (usually) guarantees you a minimum 80% at all loadings.
For those of you unfamiliar with efficiency and how it is calculated, here's a brief explanation. Power is measured in Watts (W), Voltage in Volts (V) and Current in Amps (A). Watts = Volts X Amps or W=V*I. (Strictly speaking it's w=v*i lower case. Why i for current? I guess it's because A is used for something to do with magnetic stuff in SI units. We digress). Power supplies are rated by the maximum DC output power available in Watts. This power is distributed across the 3V3, 5V, 12V, -12V and 5VSB. You will usually find all the information you need on the power supply specification label. Pay attention to the combined maximum powers for "groups" of rails. Your power supply may, for example, have 20A available on each of four 12V rails. That gives you (12X20x4=) 960W total available on the 12V rails right? Wrong! There will be a combined maximum limit that will be in the region of 600W to 700W for this example, so beware. The combination rule may also apply to the 3V3 & 5V0 rails, the 3V3, 5V & 12V rails and I have even seen maximum combined limits for the -12V & 5VSB rails, so read the specification label carefully. (This power supply specification label gives a fine example). My DC output power is found by measurement and will be a total of the individual V*I values for all connected rails to give us DC Watts Out. To get the DC output, the power supply needs to convert the AC input. If we know the AC supply voltage and the AC current drawn by the power supply (safest way to measure this would be to use the Kill-O-Watt meter or similar) then the AC input power in Watts=V*I. Efficiency is then calculated by dividing DC Power Out by AC Power In. Efficiency= DC Watts Out/AC Watts In. If you want the result as a percentage, simply multiply this value by 100.
This time around I am going to be testing an 80 Plus certified power supply from Lian-Li. Probably better known for their high quality PC cases, the Silent Force series is their latest offering in the enthusiast power supply market. The Silent Force power supply has three variants, 650W, 750W and 850W models. I will be looking at the 750W this time around.
The ever increasing demand of power users for high-end products and outstanding performance has initiated Lian Li to announce a new series of Power Supply Units (PSU) called the "SILENT Force". Building from Lian Li's reputation as an enthusiast brand catering to the ultimate tastes, the product features a 135mm ball-bearing fan, modular cable management, and Japanese Main Capacitors to ensure that the quality and standards, as well as durability of Lian Li products is as outstanding as our customers expect.
With clean and stable power driving your PC via the SILENT Force PSU and the multi 12V rails output and bead core protection for the PCI-e connectors, failsafe safety protections, and 80 Plus output all combine to give the SILENT Force PSU superior durability than anything else you are likely to get. SILENT Force PSU's have today what PC power user's need tomorrow!"
Closer Look:
The Lian-Li Silent Force 750W power supply is packaged in a plain black box with a thin card sleeve for all the necessary information. I can only presume that the internal box is used across the range of power supplies with a different sleeve. The information is well laid out and unclutterd and all sides are gloss black except the back panel. The front gives you an obligatory power supply photograph, which I have to say is top quality and model and product name and the Lian-Li logo. The bottom left hand corner contains a sticker with the power supply wattage and model number which wraps around to the side to attach the sleeve and give you the same information on the side panel. The back of the power supply sleeve gives you the rather lengthy features list, the more information the better I say provided the layout remains tidy. On the left hand side we are treated to a series of icons depicting some of the major elements from the features list.
The side panel below gives you small photographs of all the power supply connectors and a table of the named connector types and quantities. A welcome addition on the top is the inclusion of a sturdy carrying handle.
The wrap around sticker on the left and an adhesive specification label on the right. The side panel also informs us that the power plug is suitable for the EU. I have to ask - why they didn't send me a UK version?
Lift the lid and the Silent Force 750W is neatly enclosed in foam. User manual in the side space along with a black canvas bag containing all the cabling resting on top of the hard wired power supply cables neatly tied with a wire wrap.
A sneak preview of the power supply along with the user manual and cable bag. The bag is on the large side and contains all the modular cables, power cord and a small plastic bag containg four mounting screws.
This is one of the best looking packages I've seen. The information is useful and well laid out and all the illustrations are top quality and informative. Let's hope the power supply performs to the same high standard.

Universal Pictures and Focus Features today announced that Kelly Marcel will write the screenplay to the highly anticipated film adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey. Michael De Luca and Dana Brunetti will produce the film based on E L James' #1 Bestselling book, alongside James. The announcement was made by Universal Pictures Co-Chairman, Donna Langley and Focus Features' Chief Executive Officer, James Schamus.
Marcel wrote the 2011 Black List script, Saving Mr. Banks, the story of Walt Disney's 20-year pursuit of the film rights to author P.L. Travers' novel, "Mary Poppins," and the rocky relationship that formed between the two. The film is currently in production at Walt Disney Studios starring Tom Hanks, Emma Thompson and Colin Farrell with John Lee Hancock directing. Marcel served as the co-creator and executive producer of the Amblin/FOX-TV series Terra Nova, for which she wrote the series' pilot episode. She will also produce The Madonnas of Echo Park for HBO.
"Kelly's work demonstrates her flawless structural technique and passionate commitment to emotion, humor and depth of character which is particularly visible in the celebrated screenplay for the upcoming Saving Mr. Banks," said De Luca. "We were all taken with the depth and passion of Kelley's engagement with the characters and world E L James has created and we knew she was the right person to augment our Fifty Shades family," added Brunetti.
Universal Pictures and Focus Features acquired the rights to the three books in the "Fifty Shades of Grey" Trilogy in March of this year. Focus Features will market and distribute the first film in partnership with Universal.
"Fifty Shades of Grey" has become a global phenomenon and the trilogy has been translated in 45 languages worldwide since its release. In the U.S. alone, the "Fifty Shades" trilogy has sold over 32 million copies in e-book and print making it one of the fastest selling book series ever.
"Fifty Shades of Grey" follows the relationship of 27-year-old billionaire Christian Grey and college student Anastasia Steele. Subsequent novels in the series, "Fifty Shades Darker" (September 2011) and "Fifty Shades Freed" (January 2012) explore the couple's deepening relationship. For more information see the official Fifty Shades of Grey Facebook page.

What is the biggest game on the Broncos' schedule, due to be released Thursday? Let the argument begin. But, before we bicker, let us agree: This is most drama-packed scheduled in team history. If Notre Dame has its own network, then Broncos should be the featured game on national television almost every week of 2013 season.
At the Pro Bowl, quarterback Peyton Manning mentioned he already has thought about his return to Indianapolis. Manning, however, also has a big trip planned to his brother's house, to play Eli and the New York Giants. Wouldn't it be great to beat Mike Shanahan in his return to town with the Redskins? But I think the one game Denver must win is the revenge tilt against Baltimore. Peter Burns, however, disagrees. Listen to our debate here:

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A wave of brief but fierce storms rolled through Southern California mountains and deserts on Saturday, leaving 40 bicycle racers with hypothermia and possibly causing a 14-car highway pileup in the desert that injured nine people, authorities said.
Monsoonal moisture moving up from the south connected with warmer air inland and created thunderstorms that prompted flash flood warnings and watches in parts of San Diego, San Bernardino and Riverside counties.
In San Bernardino County, gusty winds kicked up blinding dust on Interstate 40 east of Barstow. That may have caused a crash shortly before 10:30 a.m. in Newberry Springs that involved 10 big-rigs and four sedans, said Otto Schramm with the county Fire Department.
Nine people suffered minor injuries, he said.
Monsoonal weather in New Mexico flooded downtown Albuquerque and left some people stranded in their cars. Fire crews rescued several people Friday night as flash flooding hit the downtown. Parts of Arizona were also deluged Friday, and were set for a second soaking Saturday. Authorities say runoff from rain on Friday night caused flooding in areas of metropolitan Phoenix, stranding at least one motorist.
In California's San Bernardino Mountains, the 100-mile contest in the annual Tour de Big Bear race was disrupted when a storm dumped rain on bicyclists on 8,400-foot-high Onyx Peak.
Most had mild to moderate hypothermia and were taken back to the starting line, county fire spokesman Eric Sherwin said.
"Some were shivering, some were suffering from cramps" but none needed to be hospitalized, he said.
Although summer "pop-up" thunderstorms aren't rare, it was unusual to have such cold weather during the race, Sherwin said.
Normally, "we deal more with heat emergencies," he said. "It was the exact opposite."
The downpour only lasted about 1 1/2 hours and the temperature was only 50 to 60 degrees but "dressed in cycling clothes, 60 degrees and wet is cold, especially when you've got done sweating climbing up a mountain pass," said race event director Craig Smith.
Most of the 1,700 riders competing in various distance contests completed the race, he added.
"We can't control the weather," Smith said. "But we all need the rain so we can't complain about moisture falling form the sky."
The National Weather Service warned that the storms could dump a lot of water in a short amount of time. More than an inch of rain fell in a half-hour at Santa Rosa Mountain in the San Bernardino National Forest, the agency reported.

NHIAA Soccer: Memorial boys come up short against Hanover
By JOE DUBALL
New Hampshire Union Leader
— The Manchester Memorial boys' soccer team needs every win it can get at this point in the season to secure a playoff berth. The Crusaders did not help their cause on Friday.
Memorial's two-game winning streak was washed away by Hanover, which earned a seventh consecutive win, 1-0, at Chabot-McDonough Field. Matty Gardiner had the difference for the Marauders (9-4) in the 35th minute and the Crusaders (4-7-1) couldn't drum up the pressure they needed to mount a comeback.
"We had a couple of chances and then a couple of half-chances," Memorial coach Chris Florek said. "You have to find a way to put away the chances you get against a good team like them. There's not going to be five or six of those. We have to finish and we didn't tonight."
Florek thought his club might have a size advantage against Hanover, which appears smaller and less physical than past years. The Marauders had other plans and showed as much on Gardiner's goal through a scrum on a Liam Collins corner kick.
"We knew exactly what we were getting into today," Hanover coach Rob Grabill said. "It was going to be a tight game. I told them if they were physical with us then that only meant we'll get restarts, so don't worry about it. Our guys ended up staying very composed."
Hanover also matched Memorial with its defense as there was very little sustained pressure from the Crusaders throughout the contest. Memorial made a final push over the last five minutes, including a clean look for Jordan Trombly that curled away and beyond the far post.
"Sometimes we try to pass a little too much and we're trying to get the kids to understand that it's OK to be a little selfish inside 22 yards," said Florek, whose club was stymied by Marauders goalie Joey Perras (three saves) while Hanover's fullbacks cut angles from start to finish. "Jordan probably should've been selfish there and hit it towards the goal for a shot. We practice whipping the ball across the middle and that's what he decided to do."
As far as the playoff standing goes, Memorial is barely hanging on for one of the final Division I playoff spots while Hanover further cemented its presence in the 13-team field.

The University of Florida is in the final stages of erasing Aaron Hernandez from in and around Ben Hill Griffin Stadium.
Florida is in the final stages of erasing Aaron Hernandez from in and around Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. The 23-year-old Hernandez, the former Gator and New England Patriots tight end, is in jail in Massachusetts awaiting trial on six charges, including first-degree murder in the shooting death of 27-year-old Odin Lloyd. Hernandez has pleaded not guilty. On Thursday morning, Hernandez's All-American brick in front of the Heavener Complex was removed by workers with All Seasons Planning, Inc. and taken to the company's plant in Lake City. The plaque honored Hernandez's 2009 season in which he was named a First-Team All-American by the Associated Press after leading the Gators with 68 receptions for 850 yards and five touchdowns. Florida players named All-Americans are honored with a brick located on the Gator Walk entrance in front of Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. Hernandez also won the John Mackey Award that year for the nation's most outstanding tight end. "We didn't feel it was appropriate to celebrate Aaron Hernandez," UF said in a prepared statement. "We put together an immediate plan after the initial news broke to remove his likeness and name in various private and public areas in the facility, such as the South End Zone team area, locker room, football offices Heavener Complex Kornblau Lobby and the brick display entrance to the football facility. "We were able to implement some of the changes immediately and this (brick removal) was a more complex process to complete with our vendors. "The plan was to have everything completed before the end of July." Even prior to this plan, Hernandez's John Mackey Award had not been on display in the lobby of the Heavener Complex because the school had not received it. Committee chairman Jerry Mackey Sr. was not ready to comment of the status of the award when contacted Thursday by The Sun. "It's a delicate situation," Mackey said. "First and foremost, we have a person that lost their life. We're not going to talk about the award just yet. We do send our condolences to the family who lost their loved one. That's the extent of our comment right now. I think (after the trial) would be the appropriate time." Other organizations also have distanced themselves from Hernandez. The Pro Football Hall of Fame, in Canton, Ohio, removed an award-winning photograph of Hernandez from public view after receiving complaints from visitors. EA Sports took Hernandez out of its "Madden NFL 25" and "NCAA Football 14" video games. — The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Who owns the land? Only the land knows. We mortals are passersby, and our lives are but a brief moment in the great span of time and space. We are born, we live out our lives, and most of us do the best we can with it, but the wind is forever, and the rivers flow forever to the sea, and all the seasons of the weathers will come and go after we are gone. But the Earth endures, the Earth is eternal" - Earl Hamner

Cardinal Christoph Schönborn of Vienna is not playing "a game of chicken" with priests calling for reforms in church practice. He is interested in getting the priests to work with him to bring new life to Viennese parishes, his spokesman said. "The situation is not as dramatic as the Austrian media make it seem," said Michael Prüller, archdiocesan spokesman on Sept. 6. "There has been no discussion of sanctions, no ultimatum, no talk of punishment," Prüller said.
The leaders of the Initiative of Parish Priests launched a Call to Disobedience in late June, urging priests to join them in saying a public prayer for church reform at every Mass; giving Communion to everyone who approaches the altar in good faith, including divorced Catholics who have remarried without an annulment; allowing women to preach at Mass; and supporting the ordination of women and married men. The initiative's membership has grown from about 300 priests to about 400, and polls taken among Austrian Catholics showed overwhelming support for the changes the priests support.
Cardinal Schönborn met on Aug. 10 with the four priests of the archdiocese who are on the presiding council of the initiative, and he plans to meet with them again soon. In late June, in a written response to the priests' Call to Disobedience, Cardinal Schönborn said he was shocked by the idea of urging priests to disobey church discipline, but he wanted to discuss with members of the initiative ways to meet the needs of Viennese Catholics. He also said that if the priests really believe they have a profound conflict of conscience in following church teaching, they should consider whether or not they want to continue as Catholic priests.
Many people read the cardinal's statement as an ultimatum, but "this is nothing like that," Prüller said. "There will be an ongoing debate, and there has to be an ongoing discussion of the underlying issues." The cardinal's intent in meeting with members of the initiative "is more a game of convincing and winning them over, and not a game of chicken," he said. "We don't send spies to all the parishes to make sure all the rules are kept," Prüller said, but he added that if a priest is violating church law, the situation will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.
Meanwhile, the president of the Austrian conference of superiors of men's religious orders has called for a "church summit" to involve all Austrian church leaders—not just Cardinal Schönborn—in discussing ways to respond to the priests' initiative and consider possible reforms. But the cardinal remains convinced that his plan for renewal and reform, aimed at helping each Catholic discover his or her mission as a member of the church, is "more likely to solve the problems in the long term," Prüller said.
In the Archdiocese of Vienna many priests are pastor of three or four parishes "and have no time for pastoral work."
"People need to recognize that everybody is called to pastor others, to serve," Prüller said. "We have to address the real needs of people in the 21st century," he said, and that probably will mean larger parishes where people are encouraged to form small groups, "which are more vibrant and better at supporting each other in the faith" and at reaching out to others.

Hi Welcome to Grand Theft Wiki. Your edits are greatly appreciated and I hope you intend to stay. I only wish that I had more than two friends that played GTA IV on PS3 and only one online so that I could try Fight of Happiness (it would be way too hard with random people). But what I'm really here to tell you about is how to categorize pages.
- [[Category:GTA IV | Category:Multiplayer]]
will only categorize the page under Category:GTA IV. The propper way is to use a seperate link for each category and each on a new line, Eg:

Re: Sleep
I don't know if that was a serious question, but no I am not a robot, and yes I am human. If the reason you think I never sleep is because of the times that I'm on, remember that Grand Theft Wiki can be edited by people all over the world, and so because of time difference I do spend time on here while other people are sleeping. Also, today is Saturday in Australia, so I have a day to stay home, and I always have a big Grand Theft Wiki day on saturday. Yes I do sleep, I slept between the time we last spoke and now.
BTW, I meant to tell you earlier, remember that I was once a new user myself. When an Admin asked me to upload some images, I asked him how, then at the end of his reply he said, "Don't forget to categorize." The next thought in my head was, "How do I do that".

There is a three-story condo for sale in Austin and it's going for $389,500. But that's not all, a real estate company posted this photo of a man taking a photo of the bathroom in the condo, but in the photo the man is NUDE!!
We're certain he did this intentionally hoping someone would overlook the "selfie," and it worked!!
If you're interested in a condo in Austin, the ad listed it as a:
Beautiful three story condo located in central Austin, backing up to a wooded greenbelt. This condo had several windows that overlook the gorgeous greenbelt that is full of large trees. The windows have custom plantation shutters. Each story has its own deck as well as its own central air/heat. The condo is also equipped with a central vacuum system.
The real estate listing has since been removed from HotPads, where it was originally uploaded.

Short Scale Bass Guitars
With ancestral origins in 15th century Europe, the bass guitar as we know it went through significant changes and growing pains over hundreds of years to become the fretted electric machines so widespread today. Even when Leo Fender first introduced the solid-body, fretted electric Precision Bass in 1951, it took several years for it to be truly adopted and accepted by musicians and producers as a genuine replacement for the upright bass. But as time went on, this revolutionary design caught fire and every major manufacturer started putting out their own versions of the electric bass guitar -- Gibson with the EB series, Hofner with the 500/1 Violin Bass, Rickenbacker with the 4001, and countless others. Reverb has a huge selection of new and used bass guitars, ranging from upright to acoustic, beginner basses to classic vintage bass guitars. An integral part of many musical ensembles, the bass guitar can function as both a harmonic player and the rhythmic foundation. Follow this collection to keep up with Reverb's ever-growing selection of bass guitars.

Most of us don't speak West Virginian.
It's a tricky language, but just part of the job now as we get to know Lakers Coach Mike D'Antoni and what he's really saying when he speaks.
For example, I wanted to know if anyone has ever used the expression "to go D'Antoni on someone," as in really letting someone have it as he did Pau Gasol the other day.
"I didn't do anything to him," D'Antoni says, and for all we know Gasol is inside the locker room and curled into a ball after being annihilated by D'Antoni.

John Coetzee's new book reads like a suicide note. His alter ego, Elizabeth Costello, is a writer at the end of her tether–indeed, at the end of her life, if we are to take a closing fantasy sequence, uncomfortably, even embarrassingly Kafkaesque, as a record of her transition to "the far bank," as the book's opening sentence has it. She is an Australian, aged 66, and has produced "nine novels, two books of poems, a book on bird life, and a body of journalism." She lived in Europe for some years in the 1950s and '60s, has been married twice and has two children, one from each marriage. Her reputation rests on her novel The House on Eccles Street, published in 1969, which has Marion Bloom, née Tweedy, the Molly Bloom of Ulysses, as its heroine.
We have met Elizabeth Costello before, in Coetzee's odd little book The Lives of Animals, based on the Tanner Lectures delivered by the author at Princeton University in 1997-98. Coetzee's two brief fictions in that book–as is apparent, it is hard to know how exactly to designate these late works; they are certainly not novels in any recognizable sense–revolve around two lectures, set in scant fictional frames, given by Elizabeth Costello at Appleton College in New England, an academic occasion that Amy Gutmann, founding director of the University Center for Human Values at Princeton, notes in her introduction to the book is "disconcertingly like the Tanner Lectures." The message Elizabeth has brought to the school is that our treatment of animals is analogous to, indeed, is as bad as, the murder by the Nazis of millions of Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals and the mentally retarded in what is commonly called the Holocaust. Coetzee's/Elizabeth's lectures/essays/fictions are followed by a series of responses, labeled "Reflections," from four distinguished academics, including Peter Singer, author of Animal Liberation.
The lectures from The Lives of Animals–"The Philosophers and the Animals" and "The Poets and the Animals"–are incorporated into Elizabeth Costello, where they are the third and fourth of the eight "Lessons" that together with a brief postscript make up the new book. Yes, I know this is confusing; confusion would seem to be Coetzee's aim.
Despite their didactic cast, one assumes these "Lessons" are to be received not as in a schoolroom but as in a religious service. Their topics are various, including "The Novel in Africa," "Eros" and "The Problem of Evil"–Coetzee has never been one to shy away from the great questions. The tone throughout is of barely contained desperation, not to say despair. Elizabeth Costello is in trouble, and her troubles are not to be talked, or lectured, away.
John Coetzee, who now lives in Australia, was born in Cape Town in 1940, and spent some years in the United States working as an academic computer scientist and linguist; he did groundbreaking studies of the writings of Samuel Beckett, and it shows. As a writer he is a remarkable phenomenon, an austere, misanthropic and uncompromising intellectual whose books are international bestsellers. He has received pretty well every literary award going, including the Jerusalem Prize, the Prix Étranger Femina, the Booker, twice, and the South African CNA Prize, thrice; and this year's Nobel Prize. Like Elizabeth Costello, he has written nine novels, if one allows The Lives of Animals to be called a novel, and is best known for the dreamlike fable Waiting for the Barbarians, and Life & Times of Michael K. His fictional masterpiece is Age of Iron, a Beckettian study of a woman coming to the end of her life in South Africa before the collapse of apartheid. His most recent novel, Disgrace, which won him that second Booker Prize, is a fierce, bleak study of an academic and teacher whose life collapses under a charge of sexual harassment; the book deals with many, too many, large themes such as race relations, feminism, the decay of the university and, again, humankind's treatment of animals.

|This article is written from a
Real World perspective.
The movie was co-produced by Gary Kurtz, who also produced another film starring Mark Hamill, Star Wars.
Slipstream takes place in the near future. A natural disaster (or series of natural disasters) has radically changed the globe. The Earth is ruled by a powerful wind which emerged from the apocalypse, the Slipstream; flying in airplanes or balloons is now the main (if not only) form of long distance transportation.
The film opens with a man, Byron (Peck) running down a canyon, being harassed by an airplane. Byron takes refuge from his pursuers on a precipice overlooking the canyon. The plane lands and its occupants, two bounty hunters named Tasker and Belitski (Hamill and Aldridge), chase the man on foot. They shoot the fugitive through the arm with a grappling hook. The fugitive looks at his arm, but doesn't seem injured. Tasker (Hamill) pulls on the rope now connected to the fugitive. He tumbles down the side of the canyon, but once again is not harmed.
They take the man prisoner and fly to an airstrip, where he stands beside them, handcuffed, as they eat in the airstrip's diner. A roguish young wanderer, Matt Owens (Paxton), makes a pass at Belitski and tries to sell illegal weapons to Tasker. It is then revealed that Tasker and Belitski are part of the remnants of a law enforcement agency, trying to keep the peace in what is left of society. Byron is wanted for murder, and they are bringing him to justice. Tasker seizes Owens' weapons and Belitski nearly breaks his arm. Later, as the cops are preparing to leave, Owens forces them to give up Byron and flees in his own plane, but not before Belitski shoots him with a dart, both poisoning him and planting a tracking device in his body. Owens then flies off "downstream", planning to turn Byron in to the authorities for a reward. Belitski and Tasker are in hot pursuit. The "futuristic aircraft" used by Tasker is the rare BROOKLAND AEROSPACE OPTICA OA7 also called the Edgley EA-7 Optica.
Owens and Byron land at the home of a cult of people that worship the Slipstream. After Byron heals a boy who was born blind, Owens knows that he is more than what he appears to be. It is then revealed by Byron that he is an android. When the wind cult finds out about Byron's abilities, they tie him to a massive kite, and let the wind decide what to do with him. The bounty hunters arrive in the middle of a windstorm, and Belitski and Owens are forced to work together to get Byron down. Belitski then allows Byron and Owens to get away, along with another visitor to the valley, a woman Ariel who has become very attached to Byron.
Ariel takes them to her home. She grew up with a group of hedonists, who inhabit an underground museum. Tasker and Belitski track the trio to the museum, which they storm. They kill the gate guards and some of its inhabitants. Tasker forces the rest to seek out Byron. Taken by surprise, Byron and Owens (who has just managed to persuade him to join him as an equal), Byron is seized and Owens floored. They leave and Belitski faces him holding a gun. Shooting him in the chest Owens punches her, almost knocking her out, but when she explains it was the antidote to the poison he realises his mistake. He handcuffs her to a bed while he sets off after Tasker with Belitski's shotgun. In the lobby Owens gets the drop on Tasker, but his aim is poor and his first shot goes wide. Ariel, not wanting a shootout stands between them both at the moment Tasker returns fire, accidentally hitting and killing Ariel. When Tasker kills Ariel, Byron sets out to kill him. Tasker, having made it back to his plane retrieves an assault rifle and shoots at Byron, to no effect. Tasker tries to flee in his plane, which Byron boards and crashes into a mountain. Tasker is killed, but Byron, being an android, is unharmed. He returns to the museum to find that Belitski and Owens have developed a budding romance. The film ends on a sanguine note. Byron hikes off by himself to look for some of his own kind he knows live in the mountains, while Owens and Belitski leave to open their own airstrip.
Despite a big name star like Hamill and a moderate budget, Slipstream flopped in theaters in the United Kingdom and was never shown in theaters in North America. The film grossed just $66,836 during its Australian theatrical run.
A DVD version of Slipstream, without any special features, was released on March 9, 2004.

The PM's last stand
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh fought the food security Bill to the end. How long can the UPA fight itself? Samar Halarnkar writes.columns Updated: Jun 19, 2012 18:11 IST
Sometime in November, Rahul Gandhi, Congress general secretary and heir to the Gandhi legacy, called for a debate at his heavily guarded colonial-era bungalow, tucked away in a secluded, shady New Delhi lane. The three people summoned were not a little bemused, wondering if they were going to participate in a real-life version of the fractious debates on news television.
The participants were economist Kirit Parikh, Chief Economic Adviser Kaushik Basu and National Advisory Council Member Harsh Mander. The three men were to debate the National Food Security Act (or Food Bill as it is popularly called), the costliest most ambitious legislation of the UPA's current tenure.
Parikh and Basu, advocates of fiscal caution, especially at a time of falling economic growth, lean towards the economic right. Mander, one of those who wrote the Food Bill and believes it is unconscionable that India has more hungry people than any other country, leans to the left. Versions of their seemingly irreconcilable positions have polarised the public debate over providing cheap food to India's poorest people.
Rahul wanted to put Parikh, Basu and Mander in one room and see if some of their differences could be reconciled. As it emerged, Parikh and Basu did not have major disagreements with Mander.
All three agreed it was a good idea to provide direct government assistance to the poorest, roughly about 700 million people, so they never went to bed hungry. The points of disagreement were minor. Parikh and Basu favoured direct cash transfers, while Mander wanted to use the existing public distribution system (PDS), about 500,000 'fair-price' shops, after reform (about 60% of foodgrain released through the PDS does not reach intended beneficiaries, according to the World Bank).
Rahul's little exercise revealed that putting everyone in one room can help - sometimes.
If only it was as easy to address the deepening ideological differences and turf wars that stall governance and threaten new ideas, including the Food Bill, at the highest levels of his party's government.
One of the biggest opponents of the Food Bill - though his government has cleared it and now awaits Parliament's approval - is Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who has been having a sometimes tense backroom tussle with his boss, UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi. On Singh's cue, many ministers, in recent cabinet meetings, have expressed disquiet over the Food Bill, which will cost India Rs 27,000 crore annually, though this will not kick in immediately or uniformly, in addition to the existing national food subsidy of Rs 70,000 crore. Extra money may need to be spent on an upgrade for and creation of farming and grain-distribution infrastructure (this is no bad thing).
According to those who have heard his views, Singh believes subsidies must not grow in inflationary times; if India helps markets and controls State expenditure, jobs will be created and everyone will prosper. Whatever the merits of this argument, it conflicts with those of Sonia and the NAC. It finally took a diktat from Sonia before Singh and his Cabinet acquiesced to the Food Bill.
Now, thanks to the party's inherent political dissonance the new law's implementation is already in jeopardy, thanks to a critical, unresolved detail: who is poor?
The government has not decided how it will select beneficiaries. Will it use the flawed, existing lists that leave out millions of rural and urban poor and include millions of not-so-poor? The NAC suggests identifying the urban poor using three types of vulnerabilities: residential (homeless people-obviously poor; slum dwellers-high chances of being poor); occupational (rickshaw pullers, construction labour, domestic help, beggars etc); and social (households with no able-bodied male aged 18 to 60). In rural areas, where it is harder to decide who is poor, it may make sense to follow socio-economic categories - single women, disabled people, old people, scheduled castes/tribes. This approach may include some undeserving people (such as rich widows), but it is less likely to exclude the poor.
I dwell on these details because they must be considered soon. It will require a hitherto unseen consensus within and attention from the UPA to actually deliver food to the poorest.
Choosing a method to select the poor has ramifications for a related issue, the Unique Identification Authority (UID), the world's largest programme to bestow biometric identities and use these to plug multi-billion-dollar leaks, reach out to the destitute and overhaul the delivery of subsidies to those excluded from the Indian dream. The UID is on the verge of stalling because chairman and former Infosys CEO Nandan Nilekani has run into opposition from the Planning Commission and the home ministry. Nilekani spends much of his time lobbying for his beleaguered programme, a political job that should be the responsibility of the government, which commissioned him to change the old ways.
With little political influence over his party, the prime minister is unwilling to intervene. Nilekani can only appeal to the Gandhis. Sonia, say those who have spoken to her, is unwilling to intervene unless absolutely necessary. Rahul will listen, but it is hard, even for him, to call the home minister to a let's-sort-it-out meeting.
The experts and professionals who deal with the house of the Government of India are like its plumbers and painters. The members of the household must decide what is to be done with the billions they intend to spend. There is just so much the plumbers and painters can do.

Free to Stay is Smoosh's second record. Jason McGerr from Death Cab for Cutie is their drum teacher and a bit of a mentor. McGerr met Smoosh in the year 2000 while working for a music store selling drums three days a week. In the case of Smoosh, their father had stopped in to have his violin restrung. When the family heard the drums rumbling upstairs they headed up to check it out.
"I found the girls and the rest of their family huddled around a small red drum kit where Chloe was declaring her infatuation with the instrument, followed by the common parental response, "You'll have to practice and get lessons if you really want a drum set" said McGerr. "After greeting them and answering all their questions, I leveraged the deal using my second job as a teacher Seattle Drum School to get them started. If they agreed to buy the drums, I would donate my time."
The day of Chloe's first lesson Asya showed up as well, and her parents asked if McGerr would consider including her. He said yes, and what could have been a few introductory lessons turned in to a four year study at the Drum School. Asya sat down in front a piano one day and began playing while singing quietly to herself, and it caught his ear. Their duets became Chloe on the drums while Asya sang and played keyboards. McGerr would listen to them at the beginning of a lesson and encourage the best ideas, and they would then arrange and rehearse those ideas until they became songs. Soon they were going home with burned CDs of what had been documented earlier in their lessons. The rest, as they say, is history.
"Smoosh's bouncy melodies and fairly fearless percussion transcend juvenilia, leading to jaw dropping moments." (The LA Times)
"Smoosh is a phenomenon. Couple Asya and Chloe's adorable onstage image with legitimate talent and fun, wiggle-worthy songs, and you have a pop cultural flare-up." (Chicago Tribune)
"Smoosh keep the innocence and sweetness in indie rock, and thank goodness for that. They remind us that rocknroll is a helluva lot of fun." (Venus)

Fall semester at Suffolk University brings with it a flood of new Alternative Spring Break applications, and senior Elise Kapitancek is one of hundreds hoping for a spot on one of this year's 10 service trips.
What sets Kapitancek apart from the mainstream is her steadfast commitment to the University's many volunteer efforts.
After transferring to Suffolk as a sophomore, the International Affairs major and Philosophy minor decided to spend her remaining undergraduate years taking every opportunity possible to get involved. She eagerly applied for the Alternative Winter Break service-learning trip to El Salvador, coordinated by the Center for Community Engagement and the Moakley Archive and Institute.
"I came into it not knowing anyone at Suffolk," says Kapitancek.
Building confidence
She was nervous about meeting new people and making friends while in El Salvador, but her leap of faith paid off for what became one of her most rewarding experiences here at Suffolk.
Kapitancek's work on a home-building project in the Salvadoran town of Suchitoto helped her see herself in a new light. In hearing the people's stories and being a part of their recovery after the civil war of the 1980s, she found "inner peace" and "confidence."
"I could make differences in ways I never thought I could," she says, "El Salvador made me comfortable with who I am as a person."
Kapitancek took her newfound sense of self to Denver, Colorado, for Alternative Spring Break this past March, volunteering with Habitat for Humanity.
Learning from peers
Because there were fewer students on her Denver trip, Kapitancek made it a mission to talk to each one.
Whether it was while working on roof construction, exploring downtown Denver, or having late night conversations, Kapitancek was connecting with her peers, building new and lasting friendships.
"I learn the most by interacting with people," she says.
Having a diverse group on the trip made for a collection of different viewpoints, which were shared on a daily basis. Kapitancek gained knowledge and friends that changed her perspectives on life.
Expanding service connections
At first glance she might seem shy and reserved, however once you get to talking to Kapitancek you'll find she's as lively and friendly as the next young woman.
"I love people," she laughs.
Now, as the Community Partnership Service Scholar for the Center for Community Engagement, Kapitancek acts as the liaison between the center's student volunteers and its non-profit partners. She plans to revitalize her dedication to service and people in El Salvador, where she'll again be volunteering for Alternative Winter Break.

HUNTLEY – Numerous elderly Rutland Township residents in Sun City Huntley can still rely on public transportation for grocery store trips and other appointments thanks to a swift, last-minute decision from Huntley officials.
Huntley will use the remaining $6,000 from an annual bus service agreement with Grafton Township to pay for a voucher program with Route 47 Taxi Transportation, Inc.
The temporary program begins Sunday, and the taxi company will provide curb-to-curb service for Huntley residents in Rutland and Hampshire Townships upon 24-hour notice from riders.
"The village has made a consistent effort and funding commitment to provide funds for these services since 2007," said Village Manager Dave Johnson. "We believe it was the right thing to do to use the funds returned from Grafton for the services the funds were intended to provide."
The temporary fix comes after many Rutland residents in Sun City were set to lose Grafton's bus service on Saturday. Grafton officials vowed to cutoff the service, after they failed to convince Rutland officials to help pay for servicing their residents.
Grafton also had to return the remaining funds Huntley typically sends for servicing Rutland and Hampshire residents. The remaining funds are expected to fuel the temporary, taxi program into February, village officials said.
Huntley's late entrance into an issue that had so far divided two neighboring townships for months came during the end of a Village Board meeting late last week. Trustee Nick Hanson made a plea that it was wrong to leave Huntley residents without accessible transportation.
On Wednesday, Hanson said the deal with Route 47 Taxi Transportation is a temporary move that buys village officials time to try and negotiate a longer term deal with Grafton.
He said he would like to see the village commit the additional money Grafton needs to keep the township's bus service running in Rutland.
"It's a band-aid right now," Hanson said. "We are trying to keep it rolling and in the interim, maybe we can make an agreement with Grafton. I don't want to see the service end."
Grafton Supervisor Jim Kearns stressed that unless someone approaches the township about a long-term financial deal, officials will provide a bus service only for Grafton residents. He, however, was happy to see Huntley's involvement in the issue.
"I'm ecstatic that the major and Village Board did step up and take care of those people in Rutland," Kearns said. "Even though it's temporary, at least they are not left without any service."
Under the taxi agreement with Huntley, a one-way trip will cost Rutland and Hampshire residents $2. Service is limited to the village's boundaries. Residents will be able to receive rides Monday through Friday, between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.
The temporary program applies to seniors 55 and older. They must register with the village before their initial ride. To register, residents should contact the village at (847) 515-5261 or through email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

VANCOUVER, BC - Major League Soccer announced today that Vancouver Whitecaps FC striker Camilo Sanvezzo has been named the league's Player of the Week for Week 17. The Brazilian earned the weekly award, as voted on by North American Soccer Reporters (NASR), following an impressive two goal, one assist performance in a 3-1 win over Chivas USA last Wednesday.
This is the second consecutive week that a Whitecaps FC player has received the award, with strike partner Kenny Miller being honoured last week.
Trailing 1-0 at home in first half stoppage time, Camilo played a key role in turning the match around. First, the in-form South American played a quick ball to teammate Russell Teibert before deflecting his cross in the box to set up defender Jordan Harvey for the equalizing goal. Then, with seconds remaining in the half, Teibert sprung Camilo for a breakaway, which he promptly finished to give the 'Caps a surprise 2-1 lead at the break.
The second half ended with more of the same, as Camilo got on the end of a ball in the box and slotted home his second of the match in the 81st minute to seal a 3-1 win for Vancouver.
Camilo now has eight goals in MLS this season, leaving him only two behind league leaders Mike Magee, Marco Di Vaio and Jack McInerney with 10 apiece. The Brazilian has now scored 11 goals in all competitions, including seven goals in his past six matches, with three of those goals coming in two Amway Canadian Championship matches.
This is the third time that a Whitecaps FC player has won the honour, and the second such award for Camilo. The 5-foot-7 striker was previously named Player of the Week following his two goal, one assist performance against Sporting Kansas City at Empire Field during Week 3 in Vancouver's inaugural season in 2011.
Whitecaps FC are back in action this coming Saturday, June 29, when they travel to face Eastern Conference side D.C. United at RFK Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 4 p.m. PT and will be broadcast live on Sportsnet Pacific. Fans can also listen to Saturday's match live on TEAM 1410 radio and teamradio.ca.
The MLS Player of the Week is selected each week of the regular season by a panel of journalists from NASR. The group consists of members of print, television, radio and online media. More information and membership information can be found at soccerreporters.com.

Hello !
I am in the process of getting a slightly longer than my 90mm lens for my 4x5 system and am very undecided between 135 and 150 focal lengths. I know that these are very close in terms of numbers, but would love to see some images taken from both focal lengths to have a better perception of what type of feel these have. It would also be extremely useful to see various type of images, like landscapes but also closer portraits and environmental portraits.
If someone has the possibility, it would be nice to see some images produced with the Rodenstock Apo Sironar S "versions" of the above mentioned focal lengths, which is one of the options I am currently considering buying. About these Rodenstocks, does anyone know if one of the above is a better performer than the other, or more recommended so to speak, at wider apertures than the other - let's sat if one intends to shoot more at around f11 than around f22?
Thank you to all who can take some time to respond and can help !

The Dallas Cowboys, "The Dawg Pound" and a Little Bit of Brown's History
Good Morning Everyone:
Well the Cowboys open up this Sunday with the Cleveland Browns and I for one can not hold back my excitement that the season is finally going to officially kick off. I feel like if the "Boys" play the way they are capable of playing they should easily handle the Browns. I also feel like this game will allow the Cowboys to eventually rest some people and maybe get a few more those nagging injuries healed up before they face some tougher opponents down the road.
Long gone are the days of the immortal Jim Brown, Leroy Kelly, and Ozzie Newsom. In 1948 when the Brown's became a franchise, they were a powerhouse in what was called the old American Football Conference. The new rival league consisted of 7 teams. The Baltimore Colts, Buffalo Bills, Chicago Hornets, Los Angeles Dons, New York Yankees, San Francisco 49ers, and the Cleveland Browns. Hall of Famer Paul Brown was the coach which incidentally was how the Brown's got their name. The were led by Quarterback Otto Graham, running back Marion Motley and Lou" the toe" Groza. The Browns won 4 consecutive AFC titles before the league was disbanded in 1950 and the NFL adopted 3 of the teams including the Cleveland Browns. In 1950 their first year they beat the Los Angeles Rams to capture their 5th title, but now as a NFL team.
In 1957 the Brown's selected in the first round a player from Syracuse named Jim Brown who would eventually become for many years the all time leading rusher in the NFL. Only later to be surpassed by Walter Payton. Of course as Cowboy fans we all know who would eventually be the all time leading rusher to this day, the great Emmitt Smith. From 1950 to present day, the Browns have struggled through many seasons of new coaches, a new owner Art Modell, who would later try to move the team to Baltimore and many great well known players, but never would regain that championship form they once knew. In 1999, Modell took his team to Baltimore and became the Ravens while Cleveland got to stay in Cleveland and remain the Browns.
Through all of this, there was one entity that remained firm and that is the "Dawg Pound". Now for those of you that are not familiar with this group of Cleveland fans, on Sunday you will get to witness a group of individuals that are among a very a unique group. They sit in the east end zone and even in the new stadium, sit in old style bleacher seats. Each "Dawg Pound" member are season ticket holders but tradition has it they pay an additional $40 per seat just to grace the "Dawg Pound" section. They come dressed complete with dog noses, heads, ears and some of the strangest game apparel you will ever see.
"Dawg Pound" fans quickly developed a reputation for misbehavior as well as vociferousness. Team officials banned the carrying of dog food into the stadium, as bleacher fans would shower the visiting team with Milk-Bones, along with other objects. "Dawg Pound" fans also consumed hefty amounts of alcohol, even one time sneaking a keg into the stadium inside of a doghouse. Eventually, the team lined the "Dawg Pound" with security personnel and had spies monitor the section from above to look for violations of ground rules.
On at least one occasion, "Dawg Pound" rowdiness had a concrete impact on the outcome of a game. In the fourth quarter of a 1989 game against the hated Denver Broncos, the rain of batteries and other debris coming down from the bleachers was endangering the safety of the players. To move the action away from the east end, referee Tom Dooley had the teams switch sides. That put the wind at the Browns' back. The Browns won on a Matt Bahr field goal that barely cleared the crossbar.
At the final game at the old Cleveland Municipal Stadium in 1995, members of the "Dawg Pound" ripped the bleachers from the stands, throwing them onto the field.
"Here We Go, Brownies, Here We Go!", followed by "Woof! Woof!" is the unofficial chant of the Browns.
So Cowboys fans, when we travel to Cleveland on Sunday it may not be much of game, but you can rest assured the "Dawg Pound" will be out in full force. Now the Brown's have talent in QB Brady Quinn, Kellen Winslow III, Braylon Edwards, and 3rd overall pick in Joe Thomas, but I think in the end the Cowboys will beat the Browns easily to get their season started off right.
Who knows it might be a better battle between the Cowboy fans and the "Dawg Pound"!

Dove Creek opened its baseball season on the road and trailed 1-0 early Thursday afternoon in Farmington, N.M.
But the Bulldogs remained calm.
The result?
Dove Creek scored 14 unanswered runs and went onto to beat Navajo Prep 14-3 in a five inning mercy rule.
"It started out kind of scary," 51st-year Bulldogs coach Ken Soper said. "They got one run in the first, two hits in the first. After that, we settled down and held them to those two hits in the game."
Dove Creek (1-0) got stellar pitching from starter Dalton Randolph, who went four innings and gave up just one run.
"Dalton looked much better than he did a week ago," Soper said. "He had his control back."
Freshman closer Jordan Enrst struck out two in the fifth to earn the save.
In the top of the second inning, the Bulldogs scored three runs to take the lead for good. Dove Creek scored three more in the third and poured it on the 2A Eagles (0-1) with eight runs in the fourth inning.
"We kind of put them away in the fourth," Soper said.
Things could have been worse for the Bulldogs early on. But Tyler Ebberts made a spectacular catch in the outfield to get Dove Creek out of the first inning down by just one.
"Tyler Ebberts made a running, diving catch that saved some runs in the first inning. He made the catch of the day," Soper said. "I was proud of our defense. We made two simple little errors, so that should improve there."
Not only did the Bulldogs play sharp defensively, the bats were precise, too. Dove Creek hit .333 as a team.
Klancey Krafka led the way, going 3-for-3 with a double and three RBIs. Tyson Smith hit 2-for-3 with three RBIs and Ebberts belted a triple.
Navajo Prep's starting pitcher did record 11 strikeouts.
"One thing I wasn't pleased with, was the amount of strikeouts we had. Their pitcher was fast," Soper said. "I don't like that 11 strikeouts. Will work on that more."
Dove Creek will be in Cortez next week for the three-day Montezuma-Cortez tournament at McAndrew Field. The 1A Bulldogs face the 4A host Panthers on Thursday afternoon at 1:30. Dove Creek plays rivals Monticello (Utah) and Dolores on Friday and Saturday at 11:30 a.m.
