- "A portable, shoulder-launched, anti-tank weapon that fires explosive warheads. Very effective for taking down vehicles or large groups of assailants."
- ―GTA V description on the Rockstar Games Social Club.
The Shrewsbury Rocket Launcher or RPG (Rocket Propelled Grenade) is a weapon that has appeared in every Grand Theft Auto games since the first.
The Rocket Launcher is among the most powerful weapons in the series, being able to destroy almost anything that is able to be damaged in one single shot. The chief advantage of this weapon is its destructive power and large area effect (with its blast being capable of inflicting heavy damage several meters away from the point of impact). Although its rockets self-destruct after traveling a certain distance, its range remains impressive. The weapon's disadvantages are its slow aiming, and its potential to seriously injure or kill the operator if a rocket detonates at close range. Its weight is also an issue — the protagonist will be slowed to a walking pace while the rocket launcher is equipped in all games, excluding GTA Liberty City Stories and GTA Vice City Stories.
GTA III — GTA Vice City Stories Edit
- "Supposedly illegal. Banned for civilian use. Have been appearing on the streets of Vice City for the past couples of years, Present extreme danger for public order. I thought we sold all of these things to corrupt dictators and people fighting the Russians?"
- ―GTA Vice City Website.
While GTA 1's rocket launcher has no obvious real life counterpart and GTA 2's rocket launcher look very much like a MK153 Mod SMAW with some differences in the grip, in GTA III and GTA Vice City Stories, the rocket launcher resembles a US Army M72 LAW rocket launcher, with some aesthetic differences (the weapon is held by a handle on the bottom and fired through a scope, unlike the real life M72 LAW).
In the rest of the 3D era (GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas & GTA Liberty City Stories) the rocket launcher resembles a Russian RPG-7 portable anti-tank rocket launcher. It is a useful weapon for starting gang wars in GTA San Andreas, as its splash damage can be used to kill a group of enemy gangsters in one shot. The rocket launcher is an incredibly powerful weapon and an errant shot at nearby objects could kill you.
GTA IV — GTA V Edit
- "Enemy goon or vehicle? It doesn't matter what you target: Point this steel finger of destruction at it, and witness its obliteration."
- — Description at GTA CW.
In the HD era, the rocket launcher again resembles the Russian RPG-7 portable anti-tank grenade launcher; however, it is not fitted with the PGO-7 optical sight usually seen on the launchers. Its front cross-hair is more like a standard gun sight. Unlike the GTA III Era, the player aims the rocket launcher from the over-the-shoulder perspective, allowing the player to move while aiming. Also, the rocket can be fired while in cover. Because of GTA IV's emphasis on realism, a rocket can be deflected if the tip of the rocket does not hit a solid object. This is the most powerful weapon in the game, able to take on cars, trucks, enemy players, motorcycles, and even the fearsome Annihilator gunship. Unlike other GTA games, the player does not explicitly need a direct hit on a helicopter to destroy it as the force of a self-detonating rocket can cause a helicopter pilot to crash. In GTA V, it is less accurate, but even more powerful. Its appearance mostly remains the same as the one in GTA IV, with the exception that the rear has an hexagonal shape and is more "streamlined" or modernized. Its ineffectiveness against moving targets is compensated by the new Homing Launcher.
The Rocket Launcher can be purchased at the back-alley gun shops for $15,000 and each rocket will cost $5,000. The Rocket Launcher cannot be obtained from Little Jacob in GTA IV. However, the player can obtain a Rocket Launcher from Terry Thorpe in The Lost and Damned or from Armando Torres in The Ballad of Gay Tony for $10,000 for the launcher and $3,500 for each additional rocket. This weapon is available in multiplayer via helicopters, which instantly give players an RPG and full RPG ammo upon entry. The rocket launcher's low carrying capacity of 8 rockets and its high price means that the weapon should be used sparingly.

FPS GalleryEdit
HUD iconsEdit
GTA IIIEdit
- Rockford, Staunton Island - Available to buy from Phil Cassidy's Army Surplus after completion of Arms Shortage. ($25,000)
- Cedar Grove, Shoreside Vale - On the west side of the roof of the large pink house at the west end of The Homes (closest to Cochrane Dam). To get this weapon icon, wedge an Ambulance under the lowest part of the roof on the east side of the house, climb the Ambulance then to the roof, then go west along the south side of the roof to reach it.
- Spawns at every safehouse after collecting all 100 hidden packages.
- The rocket launcher can be gotten right at the start of the game, before a single mission is completed provided the player does two things. 1. Use the jump the broken Callahan Bridge by using the two girders trick to get to Staunton Island and Shoreside Vale to collect the hidden packages there and 2. For the hidden package hanging on the broken draw bridge linking Staunton and Shoreside, use the dodo and fly up there. The trick is use the dodo and lift off of the side slanted runway at Francis International. Once lifted off, fly south, away from draw bridge rather than make the hard 180 degrees turn. This is because after leaving Liberty City for a bit, the game will automatically turn the player around and at the city. This means if the player is flying away from it, after a bit, he will be pointed directly at the bridge. This also give the player plenty of distance to adjust the height and aim point. The aim point is the third hole between the bridge support. Try and aim at it so the wing will bounce off of one the support and crash onto the bridge without flying through the bridge. Do not stay too close to the edge as that may cause the plane to skid too far and hit the water below. Once on the bridge it's easy to get at the hidden package.

GTA OnlineEdit
- Unlocked at rank 100, then can be purchased for $36,500 at Ammu-Nation.
- Spawns at waves 4, 7 and 10 in survival mode.
- The Rocket Launcher and the basic Pistol are the only weapons to appear in every Grand Theft Auto game.
- In all games excluding Grand Theft Auto Advance, it is possible for a launcher's rockets to be hit by gunfire, knocking them off-course. This is a noticeable occurrence when fighting Army soldiers, particularly in Vice City.
- Contrary to their depiction in the series, modern rocket launchers cannot be used to commit suicide by firing them at the ground. This occurs due to most rockets being outfitted with a timer fuse, a safety measure that renders the main warhead unable to explode until a rocket has been airborne for a certain period of time.
- Rocket launchers such as the RPG (GTA Vice City to GTA Liberty City Stories and GTA IV onwards) or the LAW (GTA III and GTA Vice City Stories) can not be fired from anywhere anyplace, especially from confined spaces or have an obstacle near the rear quadrant. This is because these rockets are not "soft launch" capable, meaning they leave a rather large back blast when launching their projectile. If this happens in a confine space or there is an obstacle near the rear, the blast, smoke, and concussion can seriously harm the user when the back blast ricochets off of the obstacle and hit the user. This is why there needs to be at least 200 feet[source needed] of free space in the rear in order to use these rockets safely.
- Rockets (Both from launcher and tank) in GTA 1 have the ability to set buildings on fire for a limited amount of time. Although the fire goes away after a while and leaves no fire damaged markings. When a building is on fire it only burns from the point in which the rocket hit it, the fire will not spread.
- Since Claude always looks downwards, the rocket launcher will make Claude look straight/upwards and hold his head straight.
- In Grand Theft Auto III, pedestrians using Rocket Launchers through cheat codes are incapable of operating the weapon properly. As they adopt the behavior of a character with a normal firearm, they will run up to a target and fire at their feet, killing themselves and anybody standing nearby, or greatly injure them.
- With the use of the "Infinite Ammo" cheat in GTA San Andreas, the RPG gains a greatly increased rate of fire, comparable to a 9mm pistol. The same occurs with the heat-seeking variant.
- In GTA Vice City, continuously firing the RPG with the "Fast Reload" upgrade and swinging the weapon will sometimes cause a rocket to detonate by making contact with the launch tube, injuring the player. A similar quirk is present on the Hydra's rocket pods.
- The projectiles of the GTA Vice City launcher do not explode when fired into the sky.
- When fired point-blank at the mirrors in a safehouse wardrobe, the rockets of the GTA San Andreas model will clip through them and fly for a considerable distance before impacting an invisible object, causing the same fire effect that occurs in normal gameplay. The flames can be seen through the mirror, although the object that was hit cannot be seen. The object is presumably a building/interior in the Hidden Interiors Universe, as the Wardrobe is an interior.
- In GTA San Andreas, there is a glitch with the rocket fired by any firing device: when the rocket is hit by a bullet during flight, the rocket will be redirected/reflected in "random" directions with a much higher speed. This is often seen in multiplayer , when a Hunter fires 2 rockets to players who are firing at the chopper, the rocket could fly off into random directions. With a jetpack and Micro-SMG, and very decent aiming, you can fend off all incoming missiles in Area 69 by shooting at the rather slow moving missiles.
HD UniverseEdit
- When blindfiring from a standing position while facing left, the protagonists of the Liberty City trilogy will release their left hand and fire the RPG using only their right hand. This would be impossible, as RPGs are designed to be fired with the left hand.
- In GTA IV multiplayer, rockets fired at the ground will disappear into the ground for a brief moment before exploding.
- In Grand Theft Auto V, a GTA IV-model Rocket Launcher is hung on the wall of all Ammu-Nation stores. It is not obtainable.
- The RPG's price in GTA V is the cheapest it has ever been in the series at only $6,500.
- In the BradyGames Guide for GTA V, the Rocket Launcher was said to have an optional grip attachment. However, it is not present in the final game. Probably, it would become useless, as there are 2 main grips for the user's hands and a third one would have no use, unless the hand is moved to the front and it will increase the accuracy. Near the firing grip, there's a small rail that would fit the mentioned attachment.
- In GTA V, during The Big Score (obvious approach), Lester Crest called the RPG the "noob tube". In popular FPS series such as Call of Duty, "noob tube" is a slang term usually used for a grenade launcher. This is a reference to Lester's gaming habit.
- In GTA V enhanced version, there is writing on the side of the barrel that reads "Do not aim at pets or feet!"
- In GTA IV, the rockets fired are able to bounce off any inanimate object (buildings, floors, etc.) at a certain angle, but will explode instantly at any angle if contact is made with another entity.
- After the Heists Update for GTA Online, the Rocket Launcher looks noticably different in first-person, the player now holding it at a lower angle.

Over the years I mostly programmed in C++ on POSIX systems, namely linux. But then, quite suddenly I became allergic to C++, to its useless bloat, crude syntax and its tendency to send apples three times around the earth just to be delivered to your neighbor.
I now mostly program in C, C99 to be precise, starting with C11, and occasionally in perl when I just need to do some scripting.
A first result of that is P99 a set of preprocessor macros for C99. People will say that P99 is a useless bloat, has crude syntax and has tendency to send apples once around the earth just to be delivered to your neighbor. But if it is already two orbits that we gain, it is worth it, isn't it?
As an additional feature, on some platforms P99 now also emulates a lot of C11, atomics, threads, type generics, be surprised!

Cueto tries to solve Marlins as Reds head south
Cincy's ace, who hasn't fared well against Miami, opposes Koehler
Reds ace Johnny Cueto has been one of the National League's best starters, but in his career, he's struggled against the red-hot Marlins, whom he'll face in Thursday night's series opener at Marlins Park.
Despite being 2-1, Cueto has posted a 5.27 ERA against Miami in five starts. In his lone start at Marlins Park on Sept. 15, 2012, he gave up six runs on nine hits in 4 1/3 innings, taking the loss.
Cueto, who was elected by the players to his first All-Star team, has posted numbers that indicate he is poised to buck that trend. The right-hander leads the NL in innings (155 2/3) and opponents' batting average (.184) while ranking second in strikeouts (157) and third in ERA (2.08).
He was stellar in his last start, tossing seven strong innings in Cincinnati's 1-0 victory over the Nationals on Saturday. He allowed four hits, walked three and struck out nine.
"Early in the game, the humidity was beating him up, but boy, when we took that lead, it was like a whole different guy out there," Reds manager Bryan Price said of Cueto.
"I started to breathe more deeply, and I was just slowing down a little more, and I was painting the ball where I wanted," Cueto said. "I was throwing the pitches where I wanted, and it gave me the aggressiveness that I wanted."
But the streaking Marlins, who are 9-2 over their last 11, will be a tough assignment for Cueto.
Tom Koehler, who will oppose Cueto, has pitched a lot better in July than his numbers indicate. Over his last three starts since a three-inning, seven-run outing July 7, he's scattered seven earned runs over 18 innings and the Marlins have gone 3-2 behind him.
If it weren't for that seven-run performance in Arizona, he'd have a 2.63 July ERA.
In his last outing Saturday in Houston, he struggled a bit, and got touched up for three runs on nine hits in five innings. He'll need to limit early damage done against him if he's going to give the Marlins a chance to continue their strong stretch.
"The way we're playing, who knows what's going to happen," Koehler said. "So it's good just keeping it close within striking distance and I feel pretty good about how I've been playing right now."
Marlins: Atmosphere hasn't changed despite streak
Since July 20, Miami's pitchers have a Majors-best 2.50 ERA (25 earned runs in 90 innings) and have held opponents to a .214 average in that span entering Wednesday.
But its hitting has improved, too. In June, the team was the fifth-worst in baseball with a .234 batting average. July has seen the Marlins climb up the ranks with a .259 average (sixth in the NL). In their last 10 games, the Marlins have outscored their opponents, 39-27.
They've also managed to figure out the road woes that plagued them earlier. And they've been playing better at home, hitting .262/.318/.384 with 31 runs in eight July games.
Despite the club being on its best streak of the season, Koehler said the atmosphere in the clubhouse hasn't changed much.
"Truthfully, the clubhouse isn't much different," he said. "It's a lot of high-character guys and we all know what we're playing for. We've been playing hard all year and it just so happens now that we're on the good side of those games instead of losing. We were losing those games by one or two runs, battling back every night. Now we're winning them. You feel a little bit better because you got the 'W,' but these guys have stuck together all year and I anticipate that's how it'll be from here on out."
Reds: Price expects club to be buyers at Deadline
When the Reds started their nosedive coming out of the All-Star break, speculation increased over whether the club could pivot from being buyers to sellers before Thursday's 4 p.m. ET non-waiver Trade Deadline.
When asked which way the team was leaning Wednesday morning, Reds manager Bryan Price was pretty emphatic the team and general manager Walt Jocketty still fell in the buyer category.
"I think we're looking to get better. I don't think there is any question about that," Price said. "I don't see us as a team that's looking to 2015. The way we've played and the way we've battled through the year and stayed competitive and stayed in this thing, knowing there's a chance we're going to get Brandon [Phillips] and Joey [Votto] back, that we've got a bunch of guys here that fight and are gamers, I don't think there's any reason to lose optimism that we can stay in this thing and start to get ourselves closer to the top -- where we were right before the break."
Worth noting
• The Marlins have dropped their last five games to the Reds dating back to 2012. The Reds have won seven of the last eight meetings and are 3-0 at Marlins Park with the roof open and 1-2 with the roof closed.
• Cueto has allowed 10 of his 34 earned runs in two starts, a 9-4 loss on May 20 at Washington (5 1/3 innings, six earned runs) and an 8-0 loss on June 6 vs. Philadelphia (five innings, four earned runs). His ERA in his other 20 starts is 1.61 (145 1/3 innings, 26 earned runs allowed).
• In his 22 appearances, Cueto has produced a staff-high 19 quality starts.
• Wednesday marked the fourth time this season that Jay Bruce, who's on the bereavement list, and the injured Votto and Phillips were all out of Cincinnati's lineup.

by Robert Ferency-Viars Love local radio? Then it's time to check out the crystal-clear reception and high-quality sound that HD Radio technology can bring to all your favorite AM/FM broadcasts. Just connect this external HD Radio tuner to your compatible Sony stereo and start enjoying AM that's as clear as FM, along with FM that's almost CD quality, on stations that have upgraded to the HD Radio format. Participating HD Radio stations can also broadcast text information (artist info, song titles, etc.), and this text will appear on the stereo's display. Multicasting Many of the upgraded radio stations broadcast one or more additional channels of programming along with their normal radio content. Radio stations use these extra channels to provide you with different musical or informational content. The XT-100HD lets you tune in these alternate channels. Your car's antenna plugs directly into this tuner box, which then connects to the stereo's CD changer port. A pass-through connection lets you connect another piece of Sony stereo gear, too. Warranty: 1 year.
Much better than analogue in the car Written By John T, Chicago, Il. on Wednesday, May 22, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have HD radio at home, and some stations don't come in (I live in a high rise condo). However, in my car, they all come in great in HD, eliminating all the static, nultipath, picket fencing that happens to analogue FM in the car. At home the sounf quality of HD FM can be less than analogue. But in the car, I don't notice any downgrade. If fact it sounds clearer awith extended frequency extremes. Great unit. Only problem is that with my headend Sony MES-2200), you can't program the HD sub channels. Pros: Clearer, cleaner, stronger reception. Cons: Can' program sub channels.
HD sound is Great Written By Moparpete, Stockbridge< MI on Saturday, December 08, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I didn't know radio could sound so crisp. Pros: easy to install Cons: none, enjoying it everyday
is ok Written By l3, boutte, la on Friday, June 22, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) some stations play better with antenna, and needs a split for antenna to work Pros: you get the extra stations Cons: could have been a lot better, needs split for antenna, should have come with one
GREAT Setup...However Written By Ken, Fort Lauderdale, FL on Wednesday, March 07, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The HD box installed without issue as you would expect. Mind you 20 Years ago I used to do Car Audio/Security for a living. That being said, if you have the capability to install your own car stereo, you are NOT going to have a problem with this add on. The only thing I wished they would have stated in the directions is that when you switch your head unit to the HD input (It shows up as an input choice just like Satellite or Ipod) you are now using the HD unit itself for all Radio Stations. This is not a problem however I am a little on the "Anal" side and the fact that you still have am and fm (Non HD) inputs to choose from in your head unit means you are going to have to get a splitter for your antenna input for the HD Unit if you still want the regular Non HD inputs to function. I would be sure to order one when you order this HD unit. Now I am going to have to take the dash apart again to add that to the install as I was caught unprepared as it was not stated in the directions for the unit. I originally thought that when it was plugged into the head unit that it would do away with the regular am and fm inputs and that is why I didn't order it myself. In my view however, if it's there, I want it to work. Just something I thought everyone should know so you can avoid the same problem if that kind of thing bothers you. Other than that, a great add on. All the local stations are broadcast in HD and a majority of them have extra HD channels playing other music. Pretty cool! Pros: You get GREAT SOUNDING music and additional stations for FREE (No Monthly cost) Easy install. Cons: You cannot save any of the "Side" Channels in your preset memory. Although it isn't a big deal because once on the main channel, just tune to the "Side" channel from the preset setting of the main HD channel. BUY AN ANTENNA SPLITTER SO YOU CAN USE THE "REGULAR" AM/FM INPUT TO YOUR HEAD UNIT AS WELL>They don't tell you this but if you want it to work as well.
Nnot even up to less Expensive Sony HD Tuner Written By Walter 1, Dover, Ma on Monday, June 20, 2011 I am disappointed in this adapter. The biggest failing is that you cannot save a subchannel as a favorite. In my area we have several stations that broadcast the usual commercial rubbish on analog and their HD1 but have interesting second subchannels with Jazz and Blues. I cannot save the subchannel as a favorite so each time the unit is powered up it defaults to the primary subchannel and I have to switch manually to the desired subchannel. Sony's own XDR-F1HD table top tuner does this correctly. The second issue is you cannot force it to analog-only so if you are driving in a marginal area for the HD it drops in and out and you have to select the regular built-in tuner in your Sony head unit, which is not particularly convenient when driving. Sony must have known this was to be used in a mobile installation and such dropouts would be an issue when on the move. For $50 (considering the XDR-F1HD price and features) these problems could be forgiven but for this price (almost what I paid for the head unit) it cannot be.
Disappointed Written By enpointe, Denver, CO on Thursday, April 07, 2011 I purchased this unit to combine with my Sony XNV-770BT Head Unit. The unit itself works fine and does a good job receiving HD Radio stations. Where the unit fails is in it's integration with the Sony XNV-770BT. The HD Tuner only offers a minimal subset of the features available from the normal non HD Tuner built into the HU. Since the Sony XNV-770BT was released in Fall 2010 this tells me that Sony doesn't really try to support the HD Tuner. For example, via XNV-770BT standard Tuner when you store a station it shows the Preset station # and the station stored. For the HD tuner integration it only shows you the preset button # 1-6. The standard tuner offers a PTY List that allows you to select stations based on categories like "Adult Hits", "Soft Rock", "Top 40", "Country", etc. This feature isn't even offered by the HD Tuner. The Tuner is thus very very out of date when compared to Sony's current line of radio tuner feature set. If you know what stations you want to listen to and they come in HD then this may be a worth while investment. But you'll probably still want to use the standard radio tuner too. For this you'll need an antenna splitter like Metra 40-UV44 Female to 2 Male Y Antenna Adapter. Sony's customer support will tell you that you don't need it. but you probably will since they don't disable the tuner selection on the XNV-770BT if it has no antenna signal. This means you'll get static.
HD installation Written By Marc, Los Angeles on Monday, February 09, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I'm disappointed. I got this unit so I could hear some of the local stations better than in regular FM. Yes, they are at the ends of the dial, but still, I expected to hear them. Instead, I may have to circumvent the unit to even listen to them. Installation was easy, I just needed to find the right location under the seat and string wires. It works well with the Sony radio that goes with it. It just isn't that great a tuner for me. Sorry. I should have saved my money.
Great Sound Written By Edward, Hamburg, MI on Sunday, January 25, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This HD Tuner is very easy to install and a perfect compliment to your new or old radio receiver. I love having all the options HD gives you and many, many stations broadcast on HD now. Great CLEAR sound and a great Crutchfield price to boot. Very happy with my purchase.
Sony XT-100HD Written By Riley, Orlando, Florida on Sunday, January 18, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Does exactly what its supposed to do. You can tell the difference its like someone put more tweeters in your car. The music is more crisp and clear. It gets a little hot and depending on the car it could be tricky to figure out where you want it.
HD Radio is cool Written By Jeremy, MN on Friday, July 25, 2008 I purchased this along with the CDX-GT820IP. Both work great together. The installation was kinda tricky, of course, that's probably because of my inexperience. It's no more difficult than installing an amp, which I had never done before. Now that I have it up and running, I can say that it was well worth the effort. It's true, the FM is just under CD quality, and the multicasting is awesome in that I have so many more choices for music when I'm on the road. When I tune to a station, it acquires the HD signal within seconds, much shorter than I had expected it to take. I love that some radio stations send artist and song title info, which shows up nicely on my radio display. Unlike other reviewers, I did not have trouble storing the HD stations. I did notice that when scrolling presets it scrolls through all three HD FM bands, which confused me at first when I would have 3 different preset #3's for example. Analog FM reception is greatly improved as well, although since I installed it along with my new head unit I can't be sure which one gets the credit. The UniLink passthrough will also let me use my CD changer when I get around to installing that. All in all, a fantastic product. I would rather have not had to install this and instead had the HD Radio tuner built-in. Other manufacturers do this, why can't Sony? Also, it's a tough call whether or not this is worth the money, but if you consider that HD has no monthly fee I suppose it's not bad.
Sony XT-100HD and CDX-GT710 Written By tracy_n, Dallas, TX on Tuesday, March 18, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased Sony's CDX-GT710 and the XT-100HD last year and found the time to install them this past winter. The HD unit is quite an improvement and it's true that FM is like listening to a CD. The sound improvement alone really helps in a Miata convertible especially when the top is down. The stereo unit is quite an improvement over the stock 1996 Mazda stereo. I must say the buttons are quite tiny (like on a Blackberry) so precision is a must when going for station presets. If any HD channel is interrupted for some reason then it does revert back to that FM channel until it can reacquire the HD signal again. Then you'll have to hit that preset again or Seek+ to get back to additional HD broadcasts on that channel. Every time you change stations then the unit has to lock in the HD signal again. Once done then HD or HD1 appears and any additional HD broadcasts are instant on that channel...until you change stations again. To resolve the dead "TUNER" source as mentioned in prior reviews you only need to do two things. First, purchase an antenna splitter (female to two male) adapter cable and wire it to your car stereo's default and to the XT-100HD unit. Next, when wiring everything behind the car stereo, be sure to wire the antenna power from both the stereo unit and the XT-100HD. This allows both the "TUNER" and the "HD" sources to power up the antenna. The only drawback is that the antenna will power down and power up as you scroll through the different sources that do and don't require the antenna. If you choose to wire your car this way then you will be able to show family and friends the audio difference between HD and FM; be able to compare signal strength and audio quality over distances; and you will have enabled the "TUNER" source again since it remains to be an option on the stereo unit anyway. Over all, two great purchases and a good match together. Don't forget to purchase a carrying case for the removable faceplate.
HD stands for Huge Disapointment Written By Michael, Annapolis MD on Sunday, March 16, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) If you live outside a major metro area, than the HD signal will come and go depending on terrain.......a very fustratrating listen overall between the secondary stations dropping and the primary switching between analog and digital signals Had I known this when I purchased, I would of held off until the technology improves.....or goes away
Sony XT-100HD Written By Jim, Fairfax, VA on Saturday, February 02, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Should have gone HD radio a long time ago. The quality of the sound amazes me. It definitley sounds better than regular FM and there are a lot of HD stations in my area, some of them commercial free.
HD Radio is awesome!! Written By Amar, West Orange, NJ on Tuesday, September 18, 2007 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I also installed this with my CDX-GT610Ui. I admit I was skeptical at first dropping $100, but with the $50 rebate its a no brainer. Whether HD radio will give satellite a run for its money, I dont know, but it does sound a heck of a lot better. The FM radio sounds a lot better, and the AM almost soudns like FM, although there are only a few AM channels in HD. Overall, worth it for $50 after rebate!
Sony XT-100HD Written By Eric, Washington, PA on Sunday, August 19, 2007 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I got this with the CDX-GT610Ui receiver. If you are interested in getting HD radio, this tuner is well worth it's $100 price tag. Take advantage of the rebate and buy one today.You will have a few cables to run (power, antenna in, bus control out to receiver, and RCA audio out to receiver), but they include ample lengths of each. The tuner itself is fairly small, so you can mount in under a seat or in a glove box.In our 2005 Matrix, I opted to put it under the passenger side front seat. It was a perfect fit there.We have some issues pulling in and keeping D stations near our home, but we live in a rural area. Once we get even a few minutes away from home, we can get in HD stations and keep them locked in with no problems. Using it is a breeze. Once you have it connected, HD will appear as one of your options under Source. Tuner still appears, but no longer works - you will use the HD source for bother regular and HD radio. Once the radio acquires the HD signal, an indicator appears on the display and you press Seek + to go to the HD channel. It's that easy.
Sony XT-100HD with Sony MEX-DV2000 Written By Cornan, Miramar, Florida on Friday, August 03, 2007 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I really bought this almost as an afterthought, to go with my MEX-DV2000 SACD receiver, which was the item I was waiting for (SACD in the car at last!) The XT-100HD interfaces easily with the MEX-DV2000 and makes the regular "tuner" bands unavailable, though they still show up when you press "Source" on the receiver. The HD sound is great and in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale area there is plenty of HD content., including one more classical signal. It seems to me that the HD stations are capable of sending out more bass to my subwoofer than analog FM.When you first tune in to a station you get the analog version, and then a few seconds later the receiver and XT-100HD do a little dance to lock on to the digital mode. Until this dance is over and you see "HD1" at the right place on the display, you wont be able to use the multicasting to get to HD2, HD3, etc.This also means that you cant set a present to anything other than the "HD1"s, and if you want to listen to an HD2 station frequently then it is probably going to get tedious waiting for the HD1 to lock in while you listen to something you dont want to listen to. I did have digital dropout once so far, when driving at ground level next to an elevated highway. I should also mention that when everything was brand new and I stopped the car and started it again later, the tuner would not come back to the same band and station that was playing when I turned off the key. (I set my station on the band that appeared and now things are either better or my kluge is working so well I dont notice)First of its kind, not perfect, but good
Sony finally jumps in to HDRadio Written By Michael, Macomb Township, MI on Monday, July 30, 2007 Sony's first HDRadio receiver is certainly worth the $100 price tag. I have found the reception and the audio quality to be excellent. The unit is relatively easy to install and fit invisibly under my dash. I wish Sony would update their radio interconnect (known as Sony Bus) to include power and audio, so the wiring could be minimized and run to the fuse block could be avoided. Kenwood's interconnect via one multi-wire cable is much better. I also note that the Sony HDRadio unit doesn't share as much functionality as Kenwood's. Sony doesn't allow multicast channels to be preset and reverts to the main channel the next time the radio is powered on. It also forces you to wait until the HD signal is acquired before allowing the selection of the and HD2, HD3, etc. channel. I'm also bugged by the fact that the TUNER source selection on the head unit remains, but is not usable. This confusing when more than one person drives the car. Because the antenna is now routed to the HD Radio unit the internal tuner receives only static. A new source called HD appears, instead.All in all, the Sony represents an excellent value, one that any owner of a Sony head unit should avail themselves of.

Cruz Del Sol Tequila (Silver)
Review: Cruz Del Sol Silver Tequila 85/100
A Review by Chip Dykstra (Aka Arctic Wolf)
Posted on September 3, 2012
According to the website information, Cruz Tequila contains no chemicals, additives or flavorings. It is produced entirely from Blue Weber agave plants grown in the highlands of the Los Altos region of Jalisco, Mexico. After harvesting the agave, it is slow cooked in traditional brick ovens for two days, then cooled before the juice is extracted and naturally fermented. The fermented juice is double distilled in small batches using a proprietary process. All Cruz Tequila is packaged and bottled using recycled materials. This includes the blown glass bottles and the aluminum caps as well as the aluminum cross on the front label.
Note: I identified the NOM on the back label of the bottle as 1102. This NOM identifier is required by the Mexican Government to be placed on the label of each bottle of tequila to verify that it is produced legally from agave sourced in the Tequila region of Mexico. Each distillery has its own NOM, and thus we can verify the distillery of origin. In this case the producing distillery is TEQUILA EL VIEJITO which also produces a variety of other brands including Don Quiote, Mi Viejo, and Tortuga.
In the Bottle 4.5/5
Pictured to the left is a nice J-peg of the Cruz Del Sol Tequila (Silver). The bottle has a rather unique shape which looks quite nice on my liquor shelf. On the side of the bottle is a production label which (on my bottle) says:
No. 39000 Rt
Produccion Exclusiva
I like the bottle, it caught my eye at one of those liquor trade shows, and I suspect it catches the eye of the consumer when he (or she) spies it on the shelf at the liquor store.
In the Glass 8.5/10
I poured out a small sample of the Cruz del Sol Silver into my glass and began my review with a good look at the spirit before I began to nose it. It is a completely clear spirit consistent with a Silver Tequila which would not have been aged in oak barrels. I gave my glass a light tilt and a slow swirl and discovered a light sheen of tequila left on the inside of the glass which gave up a few very skinny legs and nothing more. Everything is as it should be.
The initial aroma the aroma from the Tequila is somewhat earthy, and has a sweet underlying agave scent that to me is somewhat reminiscent of freshly broiled garden squash. Soft peppery notes come forward out of the glass, followed by clean scents reminiscent of lightly sweet orange and lime citrus juices. The breezes above the glass contain an ever so mild impression of mint, some soft anise and a hint of vanilla which all seem to provide a little softness in the air. All of the sensations above the glass are subdued and carry less intensity than I would normally expect from a highland tequila.
In the Mouth 51/60
Although the Highland character of the tequila was hidden on the nose, this character is on display upon the palate. Things begin softly with an initial agave sweetness and a warm citrus flavours of lemon and orange. There is an almost tender quality to the agave which is very pleasant with some interesting earthy flavours of fresh garden squash and cucumber laying underneath the agave fruit. As I continue to sip I taste tiny bits of cinnamon, hints of black licorice, and sweet impressions of sugar cane and mint. Building alongside these subtle flavours is a spicy white pepper and a citric zest which heats the palate a little more with each sip. If I had taken only one sip, I might have mistaken this spirit for a lowland tequila as a gentle earthiness dominates early. It is those second and the thirds sip which reveal the building flavours of citrus zest and white pepper which are so typical of a highland tequila.
In the Throat 12.5/15
The tequila finishes with a nice peppery zest which heats the throat (although not uncomfortably so). There is a certain amount of sugary sweetness which is quite pleasant, and those bits of cinnamon, hints of black licorice, and impressions of candy cane seem to linger in my consciousness.
The Afterburn 8.5/10
The Cruz Del Sol Silver is a good spirit to serve when introducing persons to the highland tequila taste profile. The softer sweeter notes in the agave profile are more approachable than one finds in a typical blanco tequila from the highlands. I found the spirit particularly nice when making summertime cocktails like Margaritas or my recipe shown below, Free Fall in Crimson.
You may read some of my other Tequila Reviews (click the link) if you wish to have some comparative reviews.
Suggested Recipe
Free Fall in Crimson
2 oz Cruz Del Sol Tequila (Silver)
2 oz Grapefruit Juice
1/2 oz Lime juice
3/4 oz Triple Sec
1/2 oz Grenadine (more or less to suit your desired level of sweetness)
1 cup of ice
Place the 6 Ingredients into a blender
Blend until Smooth
Transfer to a tall chilled glass
Enjoy when the sun is warm, and the day is lazy.
Note: This cocktail continues my series of Tequila cocktails named after the Travis McGee novels of American author John D. MacDonald. I have always like the Travis McGee novels, and the titles of these novels just seem to me to be particularly well suited to be also the names of great cocktails. This tasty cocktail in particular is aptly named. As you allow the bar drink to rest the crimson liquid settles while the crushed ice rises.
You may (loosely) interpret the scores as follows.
0-25 A spirit with a rating this low would actually kill you.
26-49 Depending upon your fortitude you might actually survive this.
50 -59 You are safe to drink this…but you shouldn't.
60-69 Substandard swill which you may offer to people you do not want to see again.
70-74 Now we have a fair mixing Tequila. Accept this but make sure it is mixed into a cocktail.
75-79 You may begin to serve this to friends, (we are probably still cocktail in territory).
80-84 We begin to enjoy this spirit neat or on the rocks. (I will still primarily mix cocktails)
85-89 Excellent for sipping or for mixing delicious cocktails!
90-94 Definitely a primary sipping spirit, in fact you may want to hoard this for yourself.
95-97.5 The Cream of the Crop
98+ I haven't met this bottle yet…but I want to.
Very loosely we may put my scores into terms that you may be familiar with on a Gold, Silver, and Bronze medal scale as follows:
70 – 79.5 Bronze Medal (Recommended only as a mixer)
80 – 89.5 Silver Medal (Recommended for sipping and or a high quality mixer)
90 – 95 Gold Medal (Highly recommended for sipping and for sublime cocktails.)
95.5+ Platinum Award (Highest Recommendation)

We also include 2 small pockets for things like index cards or your phone and a large gusseted pocket for storing documents or a tablet. Simple, efficient, and organized - that's what our Deluxe Folio is all about!
Casual yet distinctive, our Timeless collection is one of our favorites. This leather boasts a polished finish and a soft hand feel, making it a great choice for any leather connoisseur. And with the variety of colors it comes in, it's easy to find a shade that appeals to you or matches with your other accessories. As the name implies, our Timeless collection will hold up through years of use while aging gracefully every step of the way. Please note: textures in this collection range from light grain to a lightly pebbled grain depending on which part of the hide it's from.
This leather folio is absolutely beautiful. It's soft and supple, the color is excellent, and the monogram looks fantastic.
Beautiful, soft leather folio with embossed initials made for a perfect Christmas gift for my college-age business student son. Will be the perfect accessory for his upcoming interviews and summer internship. He was very pleased.
I love this Deluxe Folio. I purchased it for my husband for our third wedding anniversary (leather!). It is a great gift and practical especially with upcoming job interviews. Also, the professionalism and attention to detail by leatherology is wonderful. From start to finish including the packaging. Thank you!
Great Leather. Great craftsmanship. Very Very Impressed.
After reading other raving reviews about this product I was anticipating being disappointed since it seemed impossible to live up to the hype. I was not! Good design, lovely soft leather. Definitely worth the price.
Beautiful, quality product. Softest leather I've ever felt. Elegant and timeless design. Shipped quickly and without any hassle. I knew from the moment I first laid eyes upon the packaging that I was in for a treat. I honestly don't think that I could be any more pleased with my purchase, and I will likely purchase from leatherology in the future. A word to potential buyers: get it monogrammed! It just elevates the folio to a whole new level of class. And as the title suggests, words can hardly describe just how blown away I am by this folio and by leatherology's dedication to quality and craftsmanship.
Beautiful and well made folio.
In reading the reviews, I expected the deluxe padfolio to have quality craftsmanship and leather, but I didn't expect the same from the packaging. I was definitely wow'd by the box and lining of the box that housed my padfolio. It was wrapped like it was a gift and I just bought it for myself. Great product and packaging. Thanks!
I am very pleased with the quality of the folio. I bought this as a graduation gift for my daughter upon her college graduation. The leather is rich in color and soft. My only suggestion would be to offer a true monogram where the center initial is that of a person's last name and larger in size. The monogram style that is used has all the initials the same size, therefore the personalization is displayed in order by first, middle, and last name initials.
I've ordered from Leatherology twice now and was very happy with both orders. The products are high quality and the packaging is so nice. Thank you!
I am very happy with this product. High quality. Very well made. Professional appearance.
Beautiful. The leather is soft. The monogram in gold is a lovely touch.
I purchased this folio as a last minute gift for my husband. The leather is beautiful and quality far exceeded my expectations. When it arrived on Christmas eve, the packaging was so nice, I did not need to wrap it! Also, an excellent value. I was looking at vinyl folios that were $79.99. I will definitely return to leatherology for future leather purchases! Thank you for such prompt service and a gift I was proud and excited to give.
I had this item monogrammed and it was a beautiful. The portfolio is very sturdy and looks as though it will last a long time. I have had many of these kinds of cheaper portfolios that do not hold items well and fall apart quickly. This item accommodates a large pen and many other papers without being bulky. I love it!
Very nice. Packaged beautifully. Exactly what we wanted.
Whether you are treating yourself or giving a gift to someone else, we want you to have an amazing and memorable experience. All items will be shipped using our signature gift packaging. Depending on the type and size, your item(s) will come wrapped in our signature microsuede sleeve, drawstring bag or soft velour bag (each with black tie accents), and be packaged inside a high-density bronze gift box.

Last summer, I decided to undertake a project to convert a 55 gallon drum into a smoker. After researching many plans, I landed on a set of plans that called for the use of firebricks, mortar, diffusion plates, 22″ grates, door, knobs, magnets, casters, lots of cutting, drilling, welding, etc. Yep, I choose the most complicated plans I could find. While there were some advantages to this plan, the time, money, effort, and a few other cons outweigh the advantages. Below are some pics, followed by a pro vs con list, and a few ideas I have on a new design. I lost about 1/2 the pics when I lost hard drive last year, but did find a few to give you an idea of finished product.

United sweat on latest Wayne Rooney injury setback
Wayne Rooney sparked an injury scare yesterday when he limped out of training with Manchester United, making it unlikely the striker will feature in tomorrow's home game with Sunderland.
Rooney was immediately sent for a scan to assess the damage and it is unclear whether the problem is linked to the foot injury that forced him to have a painkilling injection to play against Bayern Munich last month.
Meanwhile, Arsenal's manager, Arsène Wenger, has admitted it is "very difficult" to say when Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will be back in action. The 20-year-old missed Arsenal's 3-0 home win over Newcastle on Monday because of a groin problem. "Alex is in treatment at the moment and not in training. It is very difficult to give you a timescale on him at the moment," Wenger said.

Yeah, what, Stapleton
(Delphonics and Wu-Tang still here)
Park Hill, word up, yeah, yeah, New York
The greatest story ever told by me, precisely
Roman numeral IV plus three describe me
My son move like the toad, get drunk, speak in codes
Throw a fiend in the sleeper hold, got beef with the cloak
Met my comrade, go half on this lamp down in Baghdad
Flipping like a meth's tab, get money like an Arab
The tight niggas snapped, six legs on the crab
Now hush, you wanna do what? My click better bust
Underprivileged, grew up in a Stapleton house village
Where blood flood the water in streets like oil spillage
My front door was open and then man spotted 55 boas
Niggas was still flowing, voice was echoing
I rise high like an octave
The proctor wouldn't gamble the sample, it shocked her
My ninjas run round like Shaka Zulu, some play peace like Donny the Guru
Others live to be wise and old like Desmond Tutu
Undisputed champion belt holders, shaped and mould us
Soul controller of the lunar, solar and the polar
I blow hash smoke through my nasal, my brain with ________
Wu-Tang whole battalion was like cannibal weight in Brazilians
[Outro: The Delphonics]
After the smoke is done
Wu-Tang/Delphonics number one
After the smoke is done
Wu-Tang/Delphonics number one
After the smoke is clear
Delphonics and Wu-Tang still here
After the smoke is done
Wu-Tang/Delphonics number one
Ahhhhh (Wuuuuuu, wuuuuuu)
- 13. Black Jesus
- 14. After the Smoke is Clear
- 15. All That I Got Is You

Why when experiencing life dos the brain function with certain brain waves? How does it select those types of waves, what is the process behind this? I heard it's chemical response? In a healthy brain scan, they know what to look for...these waves light up on a scan like Christmas day.
Could a brain function using different waves for different activities than our average human brain selects? Are these waves truly ideal, for experiences, for reality, for these activities they are tied to? Must it be that way?
Is the brain ultimately a receptor for the layers of reality that it filters? How accurate is it, is it all entirely objective? Is it the only form of experience, reading these layers? Is it true observation, do we make a true, indisputable connection to reality?
Do these waves make a true connection to "reality" are their similar receiving waves outside of our human bodies? What is the universe made up of? Are we connected? Is it a issue of dimension?...??
Do our bodies, minds, brains, make waves that are actually on the same level as the objective plains of reality, existence?
These brain waves, are only from a impartially working, developed brain. The true brain power, the true evolution, creation of brain isn't truly present.Ultimately, we may not be connected to a truer, more comprehensive form of reality.
[quote=YA response]Brain "waves" are a name given to phenomena that are observed when measuring the brain via electroencephalographs and similar technology. The overall rise and fall of electrical potentials in localized areas. Because they're easily observed, they are useful in correlating brain states and brain function. But you shouldn't confuse them with how the brain works.
Similarly, an experienced mechanic could use the sound an engine makes to diagnose how it is operating. But we wouldn't ascribe the sound waves with any sort of utility to the engine. You could say that brain waves are indications of an overall pattern of activity within the brain.
The activity pattern is driven primarily through neural activity. That activity is signalling by discharge of an electrichemical potential in the neurons and by neurotransmitters. The activity at this scale is much faster and more fine-grained than simple chemical responses. But hormones and other chemicals do produce system-wide changes in activity as well.
So I might read your question as "could a brain function using different overall patterns for activities than our average human brain does". My opinion is yes and no.
Yes, it's entirely conceivable that a brain could exist that uses radically different techniques to process and use information that our brains do. In such a sense, the brain waves would be very different.
But at the same time, such a brain is not going to pop into existence in a human. Just like all the engines that Ford puts in cars work just about the same way, all human brains appear to have certain overall processing techniques that are very conservative (even if we don't understand the details of how the processing works).[/quote]

With an American and Cornish voice throw
I came over from America...New York, actually...to meet up with my boyfriend who's from Cornwall. We're both die hard, U2 fans, in fact we met at Zootopia, in 2003. Anyway...this was my first experience seeing U2 in the UK and it was nothing less than amazing! We saw them at both Wembley shows (the second night was the better, in my opinion), and then in Cardiff. I looooved the city of Cardiff..the twisting and turning streets...but everything's so accessible. Including a five minute walk from the stadium to our hotel..
The show was beyond amazing...the singing was so loud! I really enjoyed adding my NY accent to that! LOL! Loved Edge speaking Welsh..and I really loved the snow globes too! Best of all, I loved experiencing my favorite band in the UK..and I can't wait to do it all again next week at Giants Stadium! No rain...PLEASE!!!
14 September, 2009
Cardiff was fantastic! the whole crowd singing and so obviously enjoying themselves. It was a magical night, and I for one am really glad they left the roof off.
It was always going to sound great though, the Welsh would never build a stadium you couldn't sing in!!!
Love the diaries, so entertaining. I just wish the guy's were coming back for a second European leg!!
13 September, 2009
Cardiff 09
This was a fantastic concert thus (my 2nd Wembley previous week). The audience were great so many people we didn't know just talking to each other. I love these diaries really informative - quite sad knowing Cardiff was the last on the European leg. Have a brilliant time in America Guys.

Nice, but if they'd just make more OpenGL games then they'd be easy to port to Linux to begin with. =P Here's hoping the future will be more OGL and cross-platform-focused in general, and so far it has been. ^^
Version 1.1.36 of Wine has been released to provide in a released version all of the development work done to this major free software project over the past two weeks. Wine 1.1.36 does carry some interesting changes, including better Shader Model 4.0 support, completion of 16-bit separation, fixes for many memory leaks, improved debugging for MinGW, MSHTML fixes, and various other bug-fixes. The Wine 1.1.36 release announcement can be read at WineHQ.org...
Nice, but if they'd just make more OpenGL games then they'd be easy to port to Linux to begin with. =P Here's hoping the future will be more OGL and cross-platform-focused in general, and so far it has been. ^^
The trouble with arguments that get much of their strength with a "Microsoft is evil" sentiment is that, no matter how true they might be, they look like comments from a hater's club and are dismissed as such. They would have a greater opportunity for acceptance if they would just stick with the more technical side of how GL is better than DirectX.
Currently DirectX is the leader because of feature superiority.
DirectX is however unusable without an SDK.
DirectX is spagetti code to the max.
DirectX is only tied to Windows Vista and 7 and is therefore not cross platform.
DirectX is not developped in the interest of the entire world, only for one company and it only exists to kick OpenGL back to where it came from.
DirectX is not portable.
DirectX is just... A Microsoft POS.
'nuff reasons to me...
I don't think Wine supports SM 4.0. I would title this something likeWine 1.1.36 Released With Better SM 4.0 Support
"Wine 1.1.36 is another step closer to support SM4.0"
BTW. Does this title came only from those commits?
wined3d: Recognize the SM4 ige opcode.
wined3d: Recognize the SM4 breakc opcode.
wined3d: Recognize the SM4 emit opcode.
wined3d: Recognize the SM4 iadd opcode.
wined3d: Recognize the SM4 lt opcode.
wined3d: Recognize the SM4 if opcode.
wined3d: Recognize the SM4 break opcode.
wined3d: Recognize the SM4 endif opcode.
wined3d: Recognize the SM4 endloop opcode.
wined3d: Recognize the SM4 cut opcode
It seems to me that this commits only add some constants but don't move things forward a lot.
Some commits mention SM4 directly but a lot of work was done to add more geometry shader infrastructure, tests and a lot of code was restructured.
Most video games use a third party gaming engine. People tend to try to avoid programming a whole lot in DirectX or OpenGL if they can help it.
These engines usually provide things like collision detection, physics, rendering, etc etc. And, of course, major players will modify and improve aspects of the engines to make their games look more competitive.
I don't know what it is like recently, but at least around the 2005-2007 time frame (when I last looked into it) most major commercial engines had a OpenGL rendering backend. Not everyone, but most of the popular ones. So it's not really that huge of a OpenGL vs DirectX if you really think about it; if that is still the case. Wheither or not the game is 'DirectX' or 'OpenGL' is just a configuration change during build time for lots of games (and a lot of debugging, of course)
DirectX is just the best choice on Windows.
Of course game makers also have the attractive solution of using Wine and Winelib to port to Linux. Wine is not just about making Windows applications run on Linux, but there is also a development aspect to it... They have tools to build and run applications completely from Linux that are binary compatible with Windows. Developers who want to have cross platform compatibility can use Wine to help them do it and you end up with a much superior solution then just throwing the Windows binary at it and hope it works.
If I was a commercial game maker that would probably be the approach I would take if I had a existing game on Windows.
If it's closed source and gets good performance then what does it matter exactly how it runs on Linux? (hint: it doesn't). Anything to lower the costs of supporting Linux is a good thing really.

OSCE: Trafficking in Human Beings Amounting to Torture and other Forms of Ill-treatment
Jun 26 2013
Download right click "save as"
this Fifth Occasional Paper (Paper) addresses and denounces the use of torture and other forms of ill-treatment by traffickers as a means to subjugate, control and punish trafficked people. It analyses under which circumstances trafficking can amount to torture or other forms of ill-treatment and it identifies the connection between both human rights violations from a clinical
perspective. Importantly, the Paper provides the conceptual framework to understand what trafficking cases entail in terms of the physical and psychological effects on traf-ficked persons, and the legal and clinical implications that flow from this characterization, including in terms of legal entitlements.

After the terrorist incident of October 10, the sky has been turned into a psychedelic mirror, sadly reflecting a civilization only a shadow of its former self. As the world struggles to rebuild, two powerful forces wage a secret and terrifying war. Trying to restore the world to its former state is Orga, a tiny group of mutants with amazing psychic powers. Controlled by a wealthy and powerful widow known only as The Countess, they wait within her secret lair in the posh Hotel Providence for their enemy to stir, a dark cadre named Gilgamesh.
A black leather-clad army of beautiful and mysterious beings, Gilgamesh bow only to their "master," the brilliantly dangerous scientist who seeks to finish the terrorist attack he started years before. Caught between these warring factions are two runaways, a brother and sister who hold the key to destroying the world... or saving it.
