This week's reviews: Cameron Crowe running out of leash with 'Aloha'
It has been a long run of success and near-success for Cameron Crowe. That steak comes to an end with Aloha, a rudderless ship captained by the director of Jerry Maguire and Almost Famous.
Crowe went all out with the all-star cast, which includes Bradley Cooper, Rachel McAdams, Emma Stone, Alec Baldwin and Bill Murray. He cast the actors, but failed to provide them with a workable story or script.
There are limited moments in Aloha that work, according to critic Roger Moore. But overall, the film is a mess.
" Aloha has a nod to the power of music and a respect for religious traditions and the once-promising frontier of space. But it's also about the versatility of that one-word title," Moore said in his review. "In this case, Aloha doesn't mean hello or 'Welcome back, Cameron Crowe.' It seems to mean goodbye, at least to his major-studio film career."Continue ReadingPosted by Jared Rutecki on May 29, 2015 08:52 AM

Twenty One Pilots projected to top Billboard charts
According to Billboard, Columbus electro-pop duo Twenty One Pilots is soaring to the top of the charts.
Josh Dun and Tyler Joseph's new album, Blurryface, could move 120,000 album units for the week ending Sunday. That effort would move them to the top of the Billboard 200 chart, according to Billboard. The chart counts total album and electronic sales as well as streaming volume.
Billboard also said that sales for the previous album, Vessel, have built slowly, indicating the band is steadily building fans.
Local fans should have no trouble finding the music; they will, however, have to wait until September 18 at the Schottenstein Center to see the band back in Columbus.
The Dispatch has written extensively about the band. Here are some of the stories:Continue ReadingPosted by Jared Rutecki on May 22, 2015 09:10 AM

This week's reviews: 'Tomorrowland' offers alternative future vision
If dystopian future films seem a bit too dispiriting for you, Tomorrowland might fix the problem. Disney serves up its science fiction with an optimistic tone that is uncommon in the genre.
They also packed stars into the projects. George Clooney, Hugh Laurie, Britt Robertson, Kathryn Hahn and Keegan-Michael Key are a few of the recognizable names.
The lighter tone and PG rating might draw younger viewers than the latest Mad Max reboot. The delivery is uneven and preachy, according to critic Cary Darling. However, the good parts outweigh the bad.
"During a summer in which science fiction is full of fear and dread — besides Mad Max, audiences will get Terminator Genisys and Jurassic World — Tomorrowland offers something a little more appealing: hope and promise," Darling said in his review.Continue ReadingPosted by Jared Rutecki on May 22, 2015 08:44 AM

Replacements show at LC canceled
A new show in Columbus by 1980s indie favorites The Replacements will not happen, according to Dispatch features reporter Kevin Joy.
The band announced the cancelation Tuesday night on their Facebook page. It comes on the heels of the band missing their original May 6 appearance at Lifestyle Communities Pavilion due to an illness affecting singer Paul Westerberg.
The previously postponed May 5 Pittsburgh show was also canceled, according to Joy.
Tickets for both concerts can be refunded at point of purchase.Continue ReadingPosted by Jared Rutecki on May 20, 2015 11:38 AM

Casting calls for area projects, including marriage-pact reality series
The Ohio Film Office today has posted four new casting calls, with three of the productions looking in Columbus.
Among the requests is a call from a "major television network" producing a reality series titledThe Wedding Pact. The show is searching for friends in their 30s or 40s who are getting married because of a pact they made to each other.
"Marriage pacts are not just on screen plot-lines," the call reads. "It's real life and we want to talk to couples who are in the process of making this happen and possibly feature them on a major television show!"
Other announcements ask for actors in two feature films and voice actors in a radio/podcast show.

This week's reviews: 'Mad Max' reboot packed with excitement
Despite what intuition tells you when watching movie previews, you have not traveled back in time. Mad Max: Fury Road, the latest installment of the popular dystopian series from the late 1970s and 1980s has been reborn.
George Miller's effort brings back all of the excitement that kept viewers glued to the previous Mad Max efforts. The barren, apocalyptic wasteland setting is back, but populated by a few new characters.
The old protagonist returns, played this time by Tom Hardy instead of tabloid sensation Mel Gibson. Charlize Theron and Nicholas Hoult bring more star power to the new sequel.
Mad Max: Fury Road is full of excitement, and should appeal to old fans and new ones alike, according to critic Colin Covert.
"Fury Road is a testament to exciting cinema and to the barbarity that humans inflict on one another," Covert said in his review. "Buckle in tight, grab the armrests and hold on for dear life."Continue ReadingPosted by Jared Rutecki on May 15, 2015 09:19 AM

This week's reviews: 'Hot Pursuit' spins out of control
This week will feature movies slated to finish behind The Avengers: Age of Ultron, entering its second week of dominating box-office receipts. The leading candidate to finish in second place is Hot Pursuit, a comedy starring Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Vegara.
While the potential pairing of an Academy Award winner with the popular Vegara seemed like a recipe for success, director Anne Fletcher pretty much drives this one into the ditch, according to critic Roger Moore.
The movie starts out solid, but loses focus as it goes on.
"The comedy was never going to be smart, but it could have worked," Moore said in his review. "The script is starving for funnier lines and situations, so the two actresses strain with bits of physical shtick: trying to drive a bus handcuffed to each other and making out to distract a rancher holding a gun on them.
"Whatever might have been, the flop-happy Fletcher fails to let Hot Pursuit get up to speed."

Replacements show at LC Pavilion postponed
Because of an illness, Wednesday's sold-out show by the Replacements at LC Pavilion has been postponed. Promowest Productions, which oversees the venue, tweeted tonight that they're working on booking a new date for the show and that those with tickets should hang onto them.
The band also postponed a show scheduled for Tuesday night in Pittsburgh.
The group, which disbanded in 1991, is a cult favorite that found modest commercial success. Singer-guitarist Paul Westerberg and bassist Tommy Stinson are the only two original band members in the current lineup.

This week's reviews: 'Age of Ultron' kicks off blockbuster season
Avengers: Age of Ultron, the latest opus to emerge from the Marvel Universe, kicks off 2015's blockbuster season. The latest adventure casts star after star in major comic book roles, promising dynamic fights and big-time explosions at every turn.
Director Joss Whedon does an excellent job making time for each character and star in what seems an impossible task, according to critic Roger Moore. However, Moore found that the stars were about all the project brought to the table.
"But the cast is almost all that Age of Ultron has going for it," Moore said in his review. "The endless digital brawls have become repetitive, the story strains to advance the Avengers epic, and the themes are weary sci-fi staples."
There are plenty of fun moments in the film. But the age lines definitely show, according to Moore.
"Such a bloated blockbuster doesn't herald the end of the franchise or genre. But you can see it from here."

A Lateral Move: Program Helps People in Other Careers Move into Teaching
By Lisa Boone-Wood, Winston-Salem Journal, N.C.
Jul. 11–Catherine Powell hasn't always been a teacher, but she has worked in schools most of her career.
Powell has worked for local school systems, going from school to school in Forsyth, Davidson and Alamance counties to teach children about the dangers of drugs.
Her students called her the drug lady.
Now she's an exceptional-children's resource teacher at Carver High School.
She is working toward a teaching license with the help of the Triad Partnership Opportunity — a collaborative lateral-entry teacher-recruitment incentive program between Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools, Winston-Salem State University and Forsyth Technical Community College.
The program was created last year to help lateral-entry teachers — people moving into teaching from other careers — get their teaching licenses.
Thirty lateral-entry teachers participated in the program this year, Winston-Salem/Forsyth County school officials said.
Once lateral-entry teachers are hired by the school system and issued a provisional teaching license, they have three years to complete requirements for the license, said Dave Fairall, the school system's human-resources director.
To get their licenses, the new teachers must head back to school and take such courses as principals and methods of teaching, psychological foundations of education, exceptional children in the regular classroom and classroom management.
The number of courses that a lateral-entry teacher must take varies, but most of them have to take most, if not all, of the six courses offered through the program, Fairall said.
The program helps lateral-entry teachers enroll in the courses they need and can request additional slots for lateral-entry teachers if a course is full.
Program counselors also help the new teachers register for classes.
Lateral-entry teachers must be recommended for the program by school-system officials, apply and commit to completing the program.
The program is free, but teachers have to pay for courses, which can range from about $120 at Forsyth Tech to $700 at WSSU. The program does provide some tuition reimbursement.
"We were trying to address two concerns that our lateral entry teachers have," Fairall said. "One of them is access to courses; it's often difficult for lateral-entry teachers to access the courses they need."
"They're working full time, and we really wanted to improve accessibility and availability of the required courses. And, of course, the cost. We do offer some tuition reimbursement, but that only goes so far." Cutting down travel to take classes at universities outside of Winston-Salem helps, he said.
"I really appreciate both Winston-Salem State and Forsyth Tech. They really were very, very diligent in working through a lot of issues and barriers that made this kind of thing difficult in the past," he said. "It's been an amazing amount of work for something that doesn't seem that complicated."
Powell, 43, graduated cum laude from Winston-Salem State University in December 1988 with a degree in psychology with a minor in sociology. She said that a school official told her about the partnership.
"It came at a very good time," she said. "I was trying to get into the classroom in such a way that I could stay, and I found out about the lateral-entry program.
"I've heard of people having to drive all the way to Greensboro to get their classes, but with this being right here, it's very convenient."
Powell is taking an exceptional-children course at Winston-Salem State this summer.
Enid Velez, 23, a Spanish teacher at Meadowlark Middle School, is also taking the course and working toward getting a teaching license through the lateral-entry program.
Velez, who is originally from Puerto Rico, moved to Winston-Salem last August from Bridgeport, Conn. She saw information about the program in the teacher workroom at Meadowlark.
"I looked into it, and I said, maybe I should give this a try," Velez said. "It's a wonderful opportunity just to meet people.
"You're not alone; it's others that are going through the same process, so you get to meet more individuals that are in the same process as you," she said. "It's great for me because you meet new people, and I'm new to the city."
The exceptional-children course at WSSU is the second of a handful of required courses that Velez needs for licensure, she said.
"It's just a really good opportunity," she said. "The program gets even better and better."

Samoa Joe on ROH TV
Even though he is signed to a contract with WWE now, Samoa Joe is scheduled to make a return to ROH and work a television taping. Of course, that deal has now been complicated because Ring of Honor has now been picked up by Destination America, which means that the promotion can now be seen in every state. World Wrestling Entertainment generally has a policy against performers being used on TV elsewhere.

Earlier in the week, Samoa Joe was spotted hanging out with other wrestlers at Walemania. It's not all fun and games, however. The former world heavyweight champion worked a match for ROH, where he challenged Jay Briscoe for their version of the heavyweight championship. Briscoe successfully retained, but that does not come as a surprise to those who believe that Joe will be signing up with the WWE developmental program soon.

Samoa Joe return
WWE signing Samoa Joe
In a move that many thought would be impossible, it now appears that WWE will be signing Samoa Joe to a contract very soon. Reports have surfaced that the two sides have come to an agreement on terms. The belief is that the deal will not take place before April, as Joe has already committed to working matches for ROH in the month of March. Despite being a former TNA World Heavyweight Champion, Joe will be going through developmental still.

ROH champion Samoa Joe
As some of you may already know, Samoa Joe showed up at the ROH anniversary show that took place in Las Vegas last night. He addressed the audience, which gave him a rather warm reception, and informed them that he will be gunning for the heavyweight championship. Since he is only signed for four shows and Ring of Honor is unlikely to be able to afford to give him a long term contract, Joe is unlikely to be given the championship.

ROH financial problems
Since ROH has managed to bring in Alberto Del Rio and Samoa Joe, a lot of fans are under the assumption that their financial issues are over. That is not the case whatsoever. The company was able to sign those guys because they are short term contracts. While it does cost a pretty penny to get big name guys under contract, Ring of Honor is willing to take the risk to bring in revenue. It is being said that long term deals were never discussed.

While we still do not know what the long term future holds for Samoa Joe, we do know what he is going to be doing in the month of March. He is heading back home to ROH to work a couple of matches. No word yet on who his opponents will be, but management should have no problems finding him suitable performers to work with. As of right now, the deal is said to be a short term one, as Joe is still said to be pondering his long term status.

Eli jtrudel3101-21-2013, 21:30Some will only buy gen 2 's . So yes janice601-21-2013, 21:35A working brand name gun always has good value. I wouldn't hesitate to buy a Gen 2 for a good price. It's still good. ejs5401-21-2013, 22:14I'd say yes if they can be found for a better price than Gen 3. The variations aren't that significant for some people with the rail being the one main thing missing. Otherwise aftermarket parts can make it fresh again. chemboy01-21-2013, 22:16I've not seen a Gen2 for sale in my area for a long time. I would jump on a gen 2 in a 19 or 23 in an instant. bsg101-21-2013, 22:39i currently have a Gen 2 G17 (1992) on layaway at my lgs. it's as lnib and i've been trying to find one this clean for awhile now. my preferred Glock is a Gen 2. Photoman64201-21-2013, 23:08I would love to find a nice Gen2 G17 to go with my Gen2 G19 and Gen2 G21. :) JohnP8201-22-2013, 04:07Gen 2 is my favorite Glock. That is what I look for when buying a Glock as long as it is priced right. MSDGlock01-22-2013, 04:14I think there is definitely still a demand for the Gen 2 pistols. My Gen 2 G23 is by far my favorite and has given me thousands of trouble free rounds. Glock Perfection. mymini4001-22-2013, 04:28Ive got a 17 (never fired. like new in the box), 22 and a 27. Im not parting with any of them. smokey240sx01-22-2013, 04:28I see gen 2 prices cost as much as brand new gen 3 and they still fly off the shelf. ChiTownPicaro01-22-2013, 04:51I've not seen a Gen2 for sale in my area for a long time. I would jump on a gen 2 in a 19 or 23 in an instant. Same here. I have been looking for a Glock 19 that is a Gen 2 gun. I like my 19 now, but the lack of finger grooves makes the Gen 2 fit my hand better. This is not the case with the Gen 3 guns. intenseneal01-22-2013, 06:52I in fact like the Gen2 better than the Gen4 and Gen3 but the 3 is not so bad. I just bought a Gen2 G23 for $360 and it is in good shape. I just wish the Gen2 had the front mounting rails. Hell I would buy up a Gen 1 if I found one in good shape. donmor5301-22-2013, 13:31Since I put a Hogue wrap around grips on my Glocks anyway...I'd buy a nice, well kept Gen 2 all day long. Wash-ar1501-22-2013, 19:42Having owned a gen 2 21/22 and still own a 19 and 23, i don't really see the fascination with them. Before the mad rush, gen 2 22/23 were being offered by companies like SOG and JG for about $350. I would gladly trade my EDC Gen 2 23 for a gen 3 if I could find someone local tmds301-22-2013, 22:34I am looking at a Gen2 G23 right now, I own a Gen 3 G19. But am wanting to try the 40cal out. Marshall Dillon01-22-2013, 23:35I've been carrying my Gen-2 19 for 20 years and it's still my favorite GLOCK...and I've lost count as to how many I now own. rdbjr5701-23-2013, 07:02I've had Gen 3 22/27 for several years but all that time wanted a 23 to go with them. I could never afford one when they were available in my area. I found a Gen 2 23 the last week in December for $389. Shoots as good as my other two. The oddest thing for me was the "Tupperware" type case they used to come in. Oh yeah... and the magazines. They are the old style that are not fully metal lined. I found a couple of new G23 mags and they work fine. And Whittaker's pays the tax on used guns... :supergrin: Morris01-23-2013, 18:03You will still see Gen 2s hit the market as the last of them get traded out of LE agencies. That was how I picked up mine as my department traded to Gen 4s. It's the non-finger grooved front strap that is best reason for liking the Gen 2s. HKLovingIT01-23-2013, 18:28I always keep my eye out for them. Put it to you this way, if I go to the store to buy a particular pistol and I see a good condition G17 Gen 2 in the used case, I'm getting it even if that means I might skip what I originally went for. I love em. Late production Gen 2 G17 is the best G17 IMO. intenseneal01-23-2013, 18:30^^^ Yep that is what I like about the Gen 2s is not having the finger grooves and IMO the Gen 4 grip is too spiky, good for gloved shooting though I guess but it is just not right for my hand all other gens of Glocks are fine for me though. I also got my Gen 2 as a police trade in. The local gun store where I bought it gets a lot in but most where pretty beat up from years of daily police carrying. Extra wear on the grip from the car's seat belt. I got the best out of 4 G23s they had and mine is in great shape for being so old and daily carried. Mine also had Tru Dot night sites added on. One the the police departments in my area just went to the Gen 4 Glock and stepped up from the .40SW to .45 so a lot of G22s and G23s will be hitting the market. JimiWeaver01-26-2013, 19:12I've had Gen 3 22/27 for several years but all that time wanted a 23 to go with them. I could never afford one when they were available in my area. I found a Gen 2 23 the last week in December for $389. Shoots as good as my other two. The oddest thing for me was the "Tupperware" type case they used to come in. Oh yeah... and the magazines. They are the old style that are not fully metal lined. I found a couple of new G23 mags and they work fine. And Whittaker's pays the tax on used guns... :supergrin: I almost bought this gun. Came in the next day to get it and it was gone! AgentM7901-26-2013, 22:39There's so much demand that they don't tend to stay on store shelves for very long. My G19 was a Gen2 factory-refurb LE trade. #1 gun in my safe now; I'd take it over a Gen3 or Gen4 any day. I prefer the ergonomic features of the Gen2 grip - no finger grooves or thumbrests. G23c01-26-2013, 23:02my gen2 G23 (magnaported) is my go to glock. cadillacguns01-27-2013, 04:53I too am a Gen 2 fan, I have a Gen 3 in .40 (a G-22), but choose the "2" because they fit my hand better than those in the mid size G-19/23 series. WayneJessie01-27-2013, 05:24Apparently sellers on GB think a Gen2 is worth $150 more than a new GEN3-4. AgentM7901-27-2013, 10:32Apparently sellers on GB think a Gen2 is worth $150 more than a new GEN3-4. In 9mm, Gen2 rules (I like Gen1 G17's, too). The Gen2 G17 and G19 kicked S&W, Beretta, and Ruger to the curb in the LE Market. Such durability and reliability has never been surpassed. Nowadays, Glock needed Gen4 to keep their .40 handguns competitive (the rail/light issue, interchangeable backstrap issue, durability issues, etc). But in 9mm, with the Gen4 extractor issue still unresolved, yep, Gen2 is worth more than Gen4, and recent Gen3's with MIM extractors. In .45ACP, Gen3 SF and Gen4 offer significant benefits over Gen2 - the grip dimensions will fit more shooters, for one thing, and the Gen2 .45 extractor and magazine issues have long been resolved. I'd pay more for a Gen2 in 9mm. I'd go Gen4 in .40 and .45ACP. I'm still waiting for a Gen4 G39. Unfortunately, it appears I'll be waiting awhile........... rockymtnhorror01-27-2013, 11:29I'd jump on a Gen 2 in a heartbeat. SmithietheFox01-27-2013, 11:47I have 2 Gen 2s (17 and 23) as well as a handful of other Glocks (Gen 3 and 4) and the Gen 2s are prob my favorite- my 23 has over 10k rounds thru it and still runs like a champ. I have friends that won't buy a Glock if it isn't a Gen 2 or very early Gen 3. winchester6201-27-2013, 12:09Traded a gen 3 23 for a gen 2 19 a few years ago to a guy from on this board. He was a newb and didn't hang around after the trade. After taking the 19 apart, I found out why. Something had eaten up the back right frame rail to the point that the slide was a little on the loose side. I was really torqued. I really wanted a gen 2 19 and I knew I wasn't going to be able to get it fixed/replaced with the same frame. I ended up having to "settle" for a new gen 3 frame thanks to Glock. It was very nice of them to not charge me for the replacement. In the end I basically ended up with a mostly new gun with new night sights for a very good initial investment. And the jerk who screwed me got a decent gen 3 23 with dead night sights and one mag. It only cost me 15 bucks to ship the gun to glock. So I won. He lost.... Jerk. Still looking for a gen 2 19.... meathead1901-27-2013, 12:19Some yahoo on the S&W forum is asking $900.00 for one....but that includes shipping, so maybe not such a bad deal. :rofl: itstime01-27-2013, 12:23My last purchase was a Gen2 G19. I prefer the older ones. GlockFanWA01-27-2013, 12:28I love my Gen 2 G23, been totally reliable. Motor City Glocker01-27-2013, 13:20I have friends that won't buy a Glock if it isn't a Gen 2 or very early Gen 3. I'm looking for a Glock 17 and 19 in gen2. My gen3's are early production. (Oct.'98 and Apr.'06) My friend refers to these as "vintage" gen3's. AgentM7902-01-2013, 21:36I'm looking for a Glock 17 and 19 in gen2. My gen3's are early production. (Oct.'98 and Apr.'06) My friend refers to these as "vintage" gen3's. There are plenty still out there, and they are worth the time and energy invested in finding them. It's just a fact-of-life that the LE trade-in market has run dry on Gen2 9mm's, while Gen2 .40's still surface. The 9mm's were a unique phenomenon, in that a LE gun, factory refurbished, could literally go another career without any major component failure. I'd opine that their durability can be attributed to the Tennifer metal treatment, combined with the fact that the guns were designed for a steady diet of the highest pressure 9mm ammo. US LE agencies weren't even causing these guns to break a sweat, and many agencies swapped them out early for .40's because the holsters and mag pouches were 100% compatible. The 3-pin 9mm frames were even stronger, at least categorically-speaking. I certainly love my Gen2 G19, and wouldn't trade it for any other 9mm out there.

Swayam, a store run by physically challenged students, turned a year old this week
Swabodhini, a school for the physically challenged, celebrated the first anniversary of Swayam, a grocery store run by their students, on August 22. The store is situated at 21/1, Avvai Nagar Main Road, Thiruvanmiyur.
Swabodhini, which began as a two-room school in 1989, is now a two-storied institution with facilities for various therapies.
It now caters to those with autism, cognitive disability, attention deficit disorder, Down's syndrome and children with delayed development, all aged between three and 25.
The school offers 'special education' with an IEP (individual education programme) for each individual, behavioral management, computer education, occupational therapy, movement therapy, yoga, experiential learning and more. Swabodhini also has a Vocational Training Unit (VTU) for students aged above 15, focussing on various skills.
It was in this context that 'Project Dignity' was started, and Swayam was launched to sell groceries, stationery and provide photo copying services.
Direct communication
A training co-ordinator from the school monitors the progress, and ensures that the transactions happen with the students communicating with the consumer, and not through the pick-and-bill system that works in modern supermarkets.

Customer Reviews of Rallisport Challenge
it's ok but not great11/30/2002
This game has good graphics and is a decent game. You will have more fun playing need for speed. Maps are decent but not great. A good game of the past.
Easy left into hard right7/19/2002
The graphics on this game are nice, but do not listen to the first two babyarms who reviewed this product. NO XBOX title to date supports anything higher than 480p. With that said it does look amazing. Once you get the hang of controlling the car on the various surfaces it becomes very fun if you can get past the initial frustration. Also the 4 player mode has a tendency to incite lots of trash talk at my house.
The game is nothing special, and the eye candy didn't do it for me. Computer race sims always seem to be better than this arcade junk that comes out on consoles. The game is even a little bit boring.0 Helpful | 2 Not Helpful
The most amazing rally game so far!3/28/2002
The graphics in this game is stunning and cutting-edge! You won't believe your eyes when you see it on an HDTV at 1080i resolution through component cables. Gameplay lacks the control compared to Gotham Racing, but if you like racing on dirt, you will love this game. There are a few boring tracks, but overall, very good layouts. Cars look great but could use more realistic shakes and physics. A must-have for XBOX owners!1 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful
SImply amazing graphics!3/28/2002
Rallysport Challenge is no doubt, the most stunning looking game so far! On a 61" HDTV at 1080i or 720P resolution, the visuals will make your jaw drop (blades of grass sway in the wind! Although I still think PGR is more fun overall, RC has it's own style that will definately appeal to rally fans. There are not a lot of car tweaks, but it's simplicity is great for those who just want to start racing! All the tracks are very good so you won't get bored. Custom music like PGR. There are some aspects of the game that could be improved, but none that will keep you from enjoying this game!2 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful

West Allis — Central took a little air out of the ball Friday night.
The Bulldogs, led to victory last week by strong-armed quarterback Ryan Barwick, rushed for more than 200 yards and four touchdowns in a 42-13 nonconference win over Racine Horlick at the West Allis Athletic Complex.
Central, 2-8 last season, improved to 2-0. Horlick fell to 0-2.
The game was supposed to be a showdown between two spread, pass-happy offenses. But the Bulldogs' ground game and defense punctured that anticipated air show. Central intercepted Horlick quarterback Kellen Miller four times and returned one for a touchdown.
"I think we played to our strengths tonight," Central coach Dax Rodriguez said. "We ran the ball well, we were pretty efficient on offense, and our defense ran their game plan to perfection.
Barwick, who completed 23 of 29 passes for 210 yards and two scores last week, completed 15 of 24 passes for 186 yards Friday, including a 35-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter that gave the Bulldogs a 28-13 halftime lead.
"We have a lot of guys back this season," Rodriguez said. "They are a year older and a year better. Our quarterback is one of them."
Horlick quarterback Kellen Miller, who passed for 474 yards and five touchdowns in last week's loss, concerned Rodriguez, but his defense was up the task. They intercepted Miller four times and forced him to fumble once. He completed 24 of 46 passes for 279 yards.
"We had tremendous respect for him," Rodriguez said. "But I thought in a game like this, with two teams like this, our defense might get a little overlooked."
The Bulldogs moved efficiently down the field on their first possession. They mixed the run and pass and got on the scoreboard with Thomas Dayton's 1-yard run on fourth down. Barwick missed the extra point.
The Rebels took a 7-6 lead after Miller threw a 16-yard touchdown to Torin Turner and senior kicker Logan Neibar made the extra point.
Barwick and the Bulldogs came right back. Barwick completed three straight passes, and a 19-yard burst by Dayton got to the ball to the Rebel 3. Dayton finished it off with a 3-yard touchdown run.
Central's defense got into it by blocking Horlick's punt on the ensuing possession. Set up at the Horlick 20, Dayton scored his third touchdown of the half on a 7-yard scamper.
The Rebels countered with a 23-yard scoring run by Miller with 3:21 left in the half. Barwick completed three passes on the next series, the last a short toss that running back Chris Redman turned into a 35-yard touchdown catch.

Bollywood might have faced a low with close to Rs.700 crore (Rs.7 billion) losses this year, but it definitely had its high with hits like 'Wanted', 'Dev D' and 'Kaminey'.
IANS picks 10 top Bollywood movies that saved the industry from doomsday in 2009.
1. 'Love Aaj Kal': Director Imtiaz Ali's third outing got a mixed response from both critics and audiences. Made at Rs.48 crore, it, however, did business of about Rs.75 crore in its first week itself. Spanning two different eras, the romantic drama starred Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone and newcomer Giselle Monteiro.
2. 'De Dana Dan': Helmed by Priyadarshan, the fun film with an ensemble cast, including Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, Paresh Rawal, Katrina Kaif and Sameera Reddy, kicked off with waiting queues at the ticket counters. Made at a budget of Rs.37 crore, it managed to rake in around Rs.68 crore at the domestic box office and is still running.
3. 'Kaminey': An instant hit, the Rs.35 crore crime thriller took director Vishal Bhardwaj and actor Shahid Kapoor to a different level. Also starring Priyanka Chopra, the film's box office earning was close to Rs.63.75 crore in India.
4. 'All The Best': Director Rohit Shetty offered the laugh riot as a Diwali treat. It opened to a slow start, but picked up gradually, thanks to word of mouth. Starring Ajay Devgn, Bipasha Basu, Sanjay Dutt, Fardeen Khan and Mugdha Godse, it grossed Rs.50 crore out of its about Rs.30 crore investment.
5. 'New York': The movie broke the dry spell at the ticket counters as the first hit after the producer-distributor and multiplex strike over revenue sharing got over. Director Kabir Khan's film dealt with terrorism that had John Abraham, Katrina Kaif and Neil Nitin Mukesh as key players and audiences appreciated his endeavour by turning it into a hit.
6. 'Wake Up Sid': It was neither a run-of-the-mill love story, nor an expensive film. Also, the film had an unusual lead pair - Ranbir Kapoor and Konkona Sen Sharma. But it managed to hit bull's eye. Made on a low budget of Rs.15 crore vis-a-vis its banner that is Dharma Productions, debutant director Ayan Mukherjee's film collected Rs.42.75 crore in India.
7. 'Wanted': The Salman Khan starrer adrenaline pumping thriller showed the power of single-screen theatres in the country as the maximum collections came from there. Directed by Prabhudheva, the film's total cost was Rs.35 crore but it recovered the investment by earning Rs.38 crore in its first week itself.
8. 'Raaz - The Mystery Continues': An unexpected success and the first hit of the year, the movie proved that content rules at the box office. Made on a shoe-string budget of Rs.9 crore, producers Mahesh and Mukesh Bhatt managed to earn Rs.33 crore in India. Director Mohit Suri's film had Emraan Hashmi, Kangana Ranaut and Adhyayan Suman in the lead roles.
9. 'Dev D': Again a low-budget film with not so big stars like Abhay Deol, Mahie Gill and Kalki Koechlin, it redefined Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay's classic 'Devdas'. Director Anurag Kashyap presented the doomed love story with punk and grunge and people loved watching the tragic love story in its new avatar. While the total money invested in the movie was Rs.6 crore, it earned Rs.23.25 crore.
10. '13B': Rs.6 crore was spent on the making of director Vikram K. Kumar's spooky thriller. Starring R. Madhavan and Neetu Chandra, it released simultaneously in its Hindi and Tamil versions and made Rs.22.5 crore in both languages combined.

The Wasp (magazine)
The Wasp was a magazine based in San Francisco.
The Wasp was founded as a weekly satire magazine by the Bohemian expat Francis Korbel and his two brothers in San Francisco in 1876.[1] The magazine was somewhat unique at the time, owing to the Korbels' expertise in mass-producing color lithographs in print, a process they had come to master in their first business, the manufacture of labeled cigar boxes. The magazine was sold in secret in 1881 to Charles Webb Howard, who hired Edward C. Macfarlane as publisher. Ambrose Bierce was hired as editor soon afterward, serving in that role from January 1, 1881 until September 11, 1885. During Bierce's editorial tenure, The Wasp published his column "Prattle" and several serialized installments of his satirical definitions later collected as The Devil's Dictionary.
Political cartoons from The Wasp are often cited in Asian-American anti defamation materials as an example of early stereotyping of Chinese immigrants.
With the following name changes the magazine ran from August 5, 1876 to April 25, 1941.[2]
- The Wasp, August 5, 1876 – January 20, 1877.
- The Illustrated Wasp, January 27-September 22, 1877.
- The San Francisco Illustrated Wasp, September 29, 1877-1 December 1, 1880.
- The Wasp, December 17, 1880 – October 5, 1895.
- The Wasp: The Illustrated Weekly of the Pacific Coast, October 12, 1895 – April 3, 1897.
- The Wasp: A Journal of Illustration and Comment, April 10, 1897 – August 25, 1928.
- The Wasp News-Letter: A weekly Journal of Illustration and Comment, September 1, 1928 – July 27, 1935.
- San Francisco News- Letter Wasp, August 3, 1935 – April 25, 1941.
Cartoons from The Wasp[edit]
Railroad tycoons Collis P. Huntington and Leland Stanford robbing victims in the Mussel Slough Tragedy, 8 July 1881.

BRIVE-LA-GAILLARDE, France – For Bradley Wiggins, it's time to bestow gifts at the Tour de France.
With his title in sight, Wiggins made it a point Friday to acknowledge the work of unsung teammate Mark Cavendish, helping to lead him to a stage victory.
Wiggins, Cavendish and their British Sky team did more than underline their authority in Stage 18 at cycling's signature race. They also put their Olympic rivals on notice: Britain may well be a force in the road race at the London Games.
Wiggins is intent on becoming Britain's first Tour winner, and that is Sky's priority. Cavendish has made plenty of sacrifices, even leading his team leader over the climbs he often dreads.
Once Wiggins got through Thursday's mountain finale with his grasp on the yellow jersey secure, he could cede some limelight to a dutiful Cavendish as the race began heading toward Paris for Sunday's finish.
Friday's ride along four small hills over 138 miles from Blagnac to Brive-la-Gaillarde was a transitional stage before the time trial today.
Wiggins, Cavendish and the team made it look easy.
With less than a mile left, Wiggins – in a rare move for someone in the yellow jersey – took the head of the pack and chased down six breakaway riders, then peeled away.
The Sky train motored ahead and Cavendish, showing he's perhaps the world's most explosive rider, whirred around the remaining escapees in the last few hundred yards to win by a couple of bike lengths.
The time trial is the last challenge, and a discipline Wiggins dominates. So he could afford to help Cavendish, provided it didn't hurt his overall standing.
"This morning, we decided to put the train in place and help Mark in the final," Wiggins said after hugging Cavendish at the finish. "It's my gift to him."
"He's been an incredible teammate the last couple of weeks. It's nice to be able to pay him back," he said.

A surveillance system called MYSTIC stores the billions of phone conversations for up to 30 days.

This week's public spat between CIA-loyalist Sen. Dianne Feinstein and that agency might briefly upset the status quo, but they will make up.

In case there is anyone left who still thinks television is better than "the internet", the Flea presents for your attention: Bikini Bandits Go Dutch. This video has everything. I have nothing to add to it. It is complete. An exemplar of a neo-Wagnerian Gesamtkunstwerk. Also, bikinis (nsfw language and content).

There was a day when the Converse All-Star Chuck Taylor model was the only sneaker worn by basketball players -- be it Bill Russell or the third-string scrub on the high school team.

Hi everyone.
Have the same problem here.
I've bought my 645e on eBay from the US seller and its viewfinder shows no infinity, although at the film plane it's OK.
I will not ship it back because in that case I should pay for the shipping and it's expensive here in Russia where I live
I have searched through the internet for similar problem discussions and that thread is the only one I found.
I intend to try to fix this by myself as I have some basic experience in camera repair.
Would the pics of disassembly process be useful here?
Sadly, I had no success trying to find any service or repair manual or disassembly guide for the 645e so I'll be all alone.
BTW, I found that 645e HAS INTERCHANGEABLE focusing screen!
Remove the lens and look inside up along the lens mount plane. You'll see small metal "L"-shaped hook that locks front edge of the screen frame. Gently pull it to the left with a toothpick or something and it will release the frame with the screen giving you the ability to take the screen out for cleaning or replacement.
