The CCCU, a coalition of 174 Christian colleges and universities, announced it was dismissing Blews last October, less than 10 months after he assumed the presidency. The CCCU gave no public reasons for replacing Blews—saying only that it came after "careful investigation and prayerful consideration"—but a subsequent investigation by WORLD revealed some of the reasons in an article published last month.
The lawsuit alleges that after the council's October press release hurt Blews' reputation, WORLD's coverage "further damaged" his name with "outrageous allegations." I asked Blews' attorney, Joyce Smithey, what specific allegations her client disputes and she declined to cite any. She said Blews will not give any interviews, but he is "profoundly disappointed" in the council's refusal to honor its contractual obligations.
In a statement, the CCCU said it "stands ready to defend its decision to make a presidential transition."

Banner Data Standards Information
Purpose of Modification
|Summary of Modification forPWRAFAC
|PWRAFAC (version 8.2.a) This report creates an employee data file that will be used by Chancellor's Office Human Resources when generating the OUS Chancellor's Office Affirmative Action Plan in the fall of each year. The file creates a snapshot of the active workforce in the Chancellor's Office (chart K) based on the dates entered in parameter 01 (Begin Date) and 02 (End Date). The parameters in this program allow the report to be run in two ways. If you only enter values in parameters 01 and 02, and leave parameter 03 (Full Year Report) blank, then the output should show each employee with only one record. This one record should reflect the most current job detail record for that employee that falls within the date range entered in paratmeters 01 and 02. If you run the report with a "Y" value in parameter 03 (Full Year Report) then the file will include all job detail records for the employee that fall within the date range entered in parameters 01 and 02.

Need Pho in San Jose - Bascom/Camden
Please give me your recommendations for Pho near my work, at the corner of Bascom Ave. and Camden in San Jose. Ideally, I'm looking for a place that is less than a 10 minute drive, as close as possible to work. Thanks.
Oh that's somewhat along my commute home and I'd love to know a pho place in this area. I've never seen one, or any vietnamese restaurant. Googling turns up a yelp review for Pho Blossom on 124 Blossom Hill road (just W of Hwy 17). It looks close on the map, but it takes 15 minutes to drive through all those lights on Bascom/Los Gatos Blvd to get to Blossom Hill. Let me know how it is if you try it out.
I live really close to there and there really aren't any pho places nearby, let alone good ones!
The only other option I can think of is Khanh Hung Restaurant, 1402 S Bascom Ave.
re: yamada3
Pho Lynn is good - I have three friends who live very close, so we go there a lot. I think you could keep the drive within the specified time range if you jumped on 17/880 and got off at West San Carlos, Pho Lynn isn't all that far south from the freeway exit.
re: whyseetea
Whoa - Capital and Silvercreek is much farther than the original area I'd requested. I'm in San Jose close to Los Gatos. Capital & Silvercreek is in the Evergreen/East Side. Definitely more than 10 minutes away.
There is a Vietnamese restaurant with pho in a small older strip mall called Dick's Center, 1350 S. Bascom Ave., between Southwest Expwy. and Stokes St. It's right next to Beverly's Crafts, and there's also a taqueria and a Middle Eastern restaurant located in the mall, also. Right this moment I don't know the name of the Vietnamese restaurant, or how the pho is, but I'm going there later on this morning to try it! I was there previously once when it was owned by someone else, and the pho was excellent then. I will post the name of the place and how the pho currently tastes when I get back.
re: Starwatcher
So sorry! I went there this morning and this is now NOT a Vietnamese restaurant anymore - it's changed hands yet AGAIN - and it is now a fast food Chinese place called "Super Race." I was disappointed when I got there, but I took a previous poster's recommendation and went on to Pho Lyn over on San Carlos. It was pretty good, but I still like my favorites Pho Hoa and Pho Tau Bay better. Too bad there's not any of these pho restaurants anywhere located on this side of the Valley...! :(
re: Starwatcher
Wow I can't believe how fast it changed. I had noticed that there was no more "Pho" sign hanging. Sad =(
re: Starwatcher
Have you tried the Middle Eastern restaurant or Taqueria in that mall and are either of them any good?

Also, $142.65 to eat Ramen for an entire year (3 per day x 365)? Sounds like a Big Skeezy Challenge…

Lauren Bacall (/ˌlɔrən bəˈkɔːl/, born Betty Joan Perske; September 16, 1924 – August 12, 2014) was an American actress known for her distinctive voice and sultry looks. She was named the 20th greatest actress of the 20th century by the American Film Institute and received an Academy Honorary Award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences "in recognition of her central place in the Golden Age of motion pictures."[2]
Bacall began her career as a model,[3] before making her debut as a leading lady in the Humphrey Bogart film To Have and Have Not (1944). She continued in the film noir genre with appearances in Bogart's The Big Sleep (1946), Dark Passage (1947), and Key Largo (1948), and starred in the romantic comedies How to Marry a Millionaire (1953) with Marilyn Monroe and Designing Woman (1957) with Gregory Peck. She co-starred with John Wayne in his final film, The Shootist (1976). Bacall worked on Broadway in musicals, earning Tony Awards for Applause (1970) and Woman of the Year (1981). Her performance in The Mirror Has Two Faces (1996) earned her a Golden Globe Award and an Academy Award nomination.
A month before her 90th birthday, Bacall died in New York City after a stroke.

Early life[edit]
Bacall was born Betty Joan Perske on September 16, 1924, in The Bronx, New York,[4][5] the only child of Natalie, née Weinstein-Bacal (1901–1977), a secretary who later legally changed her surname to Bacall, and William Perske, who worked in sales.[6] Both her parents were Jewish. According to Bacall's own statement, her mother emigrated from the Kingdom of Romania through Ellis Island, and her father was born in New Jersey, to parents who were born in an area of Poland which was referred to as Vistula Land, in the Russian Empire.[7][8]
Soon after her birth, Bacall's family moved to Brooklyn's Ocean Parkway.[9] She was educated at the expense of wealthy uncles at a private boarding school founded by philanthropist Eugene Heitler Lehman, named The Highland Manor Boarding School for Girls,[10] in Tarrytown, New York, and at Julia Richman High School in Manhattan.[11]
Through her father, she was a relative of Shimon Peres (born Szymon Perski), the ninth President of Israel.[12][13][14] Peres has stated, "In 1952 or 1953 I came to New York... Lauren Bacall called me, said that she wanted to meet, and we did. We sat and talked about where our families came from, and discovered that we were from the same family... but I'm not exactly sure what our relation is... It was she who later said that she was my cousin, I didn't say that".[12] Her parents divorced when she was five; she later took the Romanian form of her mother's last name, Bacall.[15] She no longer saw her father and formed a very close bond with her mother, who remarried to Lee Goldberg and came to live in California after Bacall became a movie star.[16][17]
In 1941, Bacall took lessons at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, where she was classmates with Kirk Douglas,[18] while working as a theatre usher at the St. James Theatre and fashion model.[4]
She made her acting debut on Broadway in 1942, at age 17, as a walk-on in Johnny 2 X 4. By then, she lived with her mother on Bank Street, Greenwich Village, and in 1942 she was crowned Miss Greenwich Village.[19]
As a teenage fashion model she appeared on the cover of Harper's Bazaar (the cover has since been described as 'iconic'),[20] as well as in magazines such as Vogue.[17] She was noted for her "cat-like grace, tawny blonde hair and blue-green eyes".[21]
Though Diana Vreeland is often credited with discovering Bacall for Harper's Bazaar, it was in fact Nicolas de Gunzburg who delivered the 18-year-old to his colleague. He had first met Bacall at Tony's, an East 50s club where habitués gathered to listen to her hyper-sophisticated cabaret artist Mabel Mercer. De Gunzburg suggested that the tawny-haired drama student stop by his Bazaar office the next day. He then turned over his find to Vreeland, who arranged for Louise Dahl-Wolfe to shoot Bacall in Kodachrome for the March 1943 cover.[22]
While she was working as a fashion model, Howard Hawks' wife Nancy spotted her on the cover of Harper's Bazaar.[23] and urged Hawks to have her take a screen test for To Have and Have Not. Hawks had asked his secretary to find out more about her, but the secretary misunderstood and sent her a ticket to Hollywood for the audition.[24]
Hawks signed her to a seven-year personal contract, brought her to Hollywood, gave her US$100 salary a week, and began to manage her career. Hawks changed her first name to Lauren, and Perske adopted "Bacall", a variant of her mother's maiden name, as her screen surname. Nancy Hawks took Bacall under her wing.[25] Nancy dressed Bacall stylishly and guided her in matters of elegance, manners and taste. Bacall was trained to make her voice lower, and deeper due to Hawks' suggestion since she naturally had a high-pitched, nasal voice. Hawks had her lower the pitch of her voice under the tutelage of a voice coach.[26] As part of her training, she was required to shout verses of Shakespeare for hours every day.[25][27] Her voice would become her trademark, and it would later be referred to as a "smoky, sexual growl",[1] and a "throaty purr",[26] among other adjectives.
During her screen tests for her first film To Have and Have Not (1944), Bacall was so nervous that to minimize her quivering, she pressed her chin against her chest and to face the camera, tilted her eyes upward.[28] This effect became known as "The Look", and became Bacall's trademark.[29]
Bacall's character used Nancy Hawks' nickname "Slim" and Humphrey Bogart used Howard Hawks' nickname "Steve". On the set, Bogart, who was married to Mayo Methot, initiated a relationship with Bacall several weeks into shooting and they began seeing each other.[23]
The script was revised multiple times during shooting to extend Bacall's part into a lead. Once released, To Have and Have Not catapulted Bacall into instant stardom. The performance became the cornerstone of her star image, the impact of which extended into popular culture at large, influencing fashion[30] as well as film makers and other actors.[31]
Warner Bros. launched an excessive marketing campaign to promote the picture and to establish Bacall as a movie star. As part of the public relations push, Bacall made a visit to the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., February 10, 1945, Bacall's press agent, chief of publicity at Warner Bros. Charlie Enfield, asked the 20-year-old Bacall to sit on the piano while Vice-President of the United States Harry S. Truman played.[32][33]
After To Have and Have Not, Bacall was seen opposite Charles Boyer in Confidential Agent (1945), which was poorly received by critics. By her own estimation, it could have caused considerable damage to her career, had her performance as the mysterious, acid-tongued Vivian Rutledge in Hawks's film noir The Big Sleep (1946), co-starring Bogart, not provided a quick career resurgence.[34]
The Big Sleep laid the foundation for her status as an icon of film noir. She would be strongly associated with the genre for the rest of her career,[35][36][37] and would often be cast as variations of the independent and sultry femme fatale character she played in the movie; as described by film scholar Joe McElhaney, "Vivian displays an almost total command of movement and gesture. She never crawls."[38]
She appeared with Bogart in two more films. In Dark Passage (1947), another film noir, she played an enigmatic San Francisco artist. "Miss Bacall -- generates quite a lot of pressure as a sharp-eyed, knows-what-she-wants girl", wrote Bosley Crowther of The New York Times of her performance.[39]
In 1948, she was seen in John Huston's melodramatic suspense film Key Largo with Bogart and Edward G. Robinson. In the film, according to film critic Jessica Kiang, "Bacall brings an edge of ambivalence and independence to the role that makes her character much more interesting than was written." [40]
Bacall turned down scripts she did not find interesting and thereby earned a reputation for being difficult. Despite this, she further solidified her star status in the 1950s by appearing as the leading lady in a string of films for favorable reviews.
Bacall was cast opposite Gary Cooper in Bright Leaf (1950). In the same year, she played a two-faced femme fatale in Young Man with a Horn (1950), a jazz musical co-starring Kirk Douglas, Doris Day, and Hoagy Carmichael.
During 1951–1952, Bacall co-starred with Bogart in the syndicated action-adventure radio series Bold Venture.[41]
In 1953, she starred in the CinemaScope comedy How to Marry a Millionaire, a runaway hit among critics and at the box office.[42] Directed by Jean Negulesco and co-starring Marilyn Monroe and Betty Grable, Bacall got positive notices for her turn as the witty gold-digger, Schatze Page.[43] "First honors in spreading mirth go to Miss Bacall", wrote Alton Cook in The New York World-Telegram & Sun. "The most intelligent and predatory of the trio, she takes complete control of every scene with her acid delivery of viciously witty lines." [44]
According to her autobiography, Bacall declined[why?] the coveted invitation from Grauman's Chinese Theatre to press her hand- and footprints in the theatre's cemented forecourt at the Los Angeles premiere of the film.[45]
At this time, Bacall was under contract to 20th Century Fox.[44] Following How to Marry a Millionaire, she appeared in yet another CinemaScope comedy directed by Jean Negulesco, Woman's World (1954), which failed to match its predecessor's success at the box office.[46][47]
In 1955, a television version of Bogart's breakthrough film, The Petrified Forest, was performed as a live installment of Producers' Showcase, a weekly dramatic anthology, featuring Bogart as Duke Mantee, Henry Fonda as Alan, and Bacall as Gabrielle, the part originally played in the 1936 movie by Bette Davis. Bogart had originally played the part on Broadway with the subsequent movie's star Leslie Howard, who had secured a film career for Bogart by insisting that Warner Bros. cast him in the movie instead of Edward G. Robinson; Bogart and Bacall named their daughter "Leslie Howard Bogart" in gratitude.[citation needed]
In the late 1990s, Bacall donated the only known kinescope of the 1955 performance to The Museum Of Television & Radio (now the Paley Center for Media), where it remains archived for viewing in New York City and Los Angeles.[48]
In 1955, Bacall starred in two feature films, The Cobweb and Blood Alley. Directed by Vincente Minnelli, The Cobweb takes place at a mental institution in which Bacall's character works as a therapist. It was her second collaboration with Charles Boyer and also starred Richard Widmark and Lillian Gish. "In the only two really sympathetic roles, Mr. Widmark is excellent and Miss Bacall shrewdly underplays", wrote The New York Times.[49]
Many film scholars consider Written on the Wind, directed by Douglas Sirk in 1956, to be a landmark work in the melodrama genre.[50] Appearing with Rock Hudson, Dorothy Malone and Robert Stack, Bacall played a career woman whose life is unexpectedly turned around by a family of oil magnates. Bacall wrote in her autobiography that she did not think much of the role, but reviews were favorable. Wrote Variety, "Bacall registers strongly as a sensible girl swept into the madness of the oil family".[51]
While struggling at home with Bogart's battle with esophageal cancer, Bacall starred with Gregory Peck in Designing Woman to solid reviews.[52] The musical comedy was her second feature with director Vincente Minnelli and was released in New York on May 16, 1957, four months after Bogart's death on January 14.[citation needed]
Bacall appeared in two more films in the 1950s: the Jean Negulesco-directed melodrama The Gift of Love (1958), which co-starred Robert Stack, and the adventure film North West Frontier (1959), which was a box office hit.[53]
1960s and 1970s[edit]
Bacall's movie career waned in the 1960s, and she was seen in only a handful of films. She starred on Broadway in Goodbye, Charlie in 1959, and went on to have a successful on-stage career in Cactus Flower (1965), Applause (1970), and Woman of the Year (1981). She won Tony Awards for her performances in the latter two.[54]
Applause was a musical version of the film All About Eve in which Bette Davis had starred as stage diva Margo Channing. According to Bacall's autobiography, she and a girlfriend won an opportunity in 1940 to meet her idol Bette Davis at Davis's hotel. Years later, Davis visited Bacall backstage to congratulate her on her performance in Applause. Davis told Bacall, "You're the only one who could have played the part."[55]
The few films Bacall made during this period were all-star vehicles such as Sex and the Single Girl (1964) with Henry Fonda, Tony Curtis, and Natalie Wood; Harper (1966) with Paul Newman, Shelley Winters, Julie Harris, Robert Wagner, and Janet Leigh; and Murder on the Orient Express (1974), with Ingrid Bergman, Albert Finney, Vanessa Redgrave, Martin Balsam, and Sean Connery.[citation needed]
In 1964, she appeared in two episodes of Craig Stevens's Mr. Broadway: first in "Take a Walk Through a Cemetery", with then husband, Jason Robards, Jr.,[citation needed] and later as Barbara Lake in the episode "Something to Sing About", co-starring future co-star Balsam.[56]
For her work in the Chicago theatre, Bacall won the Sarah Siddons Award in 1972 and again in 1984. In 1976, she co-starred with John Wayne in his last picture, The Shootist. The two became friends, despite significant political differences between them. They had previously worked together in Blood Alley (1955).[57]
Later career[edit]
During the 1980s, Bacall appeared in the poorly received star vehicle The Fan (1981), as well as some star-studded features such as Robert Altman's Health (1980) and Michael Winner's Appointment with Death (1988). In 1990, she had a small role in Misery, which starred Kathy Bates and James Caan. In 1997, Bacall was nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for her role in The Mirror Has Two Faces (1996), her first nomination after a career span of more than fifty years.[2] Bacall had already won a Golden Globe and was widely expected to win the Oscar, but lost in an upset to Juliette Binoche for The English Patient.[citation needed]
Bacall received the Kennedy Center Honors in 1997.[58] In 1999, she was voted one of the 25 most significant female movie stars in history by the American Film Institute. Her movie career saw something of a renaissance and she attracted respectful notices for her performances in high-profile projects such as Dogville (2003), Birth (2004), both with Nicole Kidman, and in "Howl's Moving Castle" (2004), as the Witch of the Waste. She was a leading actor in Paul Schrader's The Walker (2007).[59]
Her commercial ventures in the 2000s included being a spokesperson for the Tuesday Morning discount chain (commercials showed her in a limousine waiting for the store to open at the beginning of one of their sales events) and producing a jewelry line with the Weinman Brothers company. She previously was a celebrity spokesperson for High Point (coffee) and Fancy Feast cat food. In March 2006, Bacall was seen at the 78th Annual Academy Awards introducing a film montage dedicated to film noir. She made a cameo appearance as herself on The Sopranos, in the April 2006 episode, "Luxury Lounge", during which she was mugged by a masked hoodlum (played by Michael Imperioli).[citation needed]
In September 2006, Bacall was awarded the first Katharine Hepburn Medal, which recognizes "women whose lives, work and contributions embody the intelligence, drive and independence of the four-time-Oscar-winning actress", by Bryn Mawr College's Katharine Houghton Hepburn Center.[60] She gave an address at the memorial service of Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. at the Reform Club in London in June 2007.[61] She finished her role in The Forger in 2009.[62]
Bacall was selected by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to receive an Honorary Academy Award. The award was presented at the inaugural Governors Awards on November 14, 2009.[63]
In July 2013, Bacall expressed interest in taking the starring role in the film Trouble Is My Business.[64] In November, she joined the English dub voice cast for StudioCanal's animated film Ernest & Celestine.[65] Her final role was in 2014: a guest vocal appearance in the twelfth season Family Guy episode "Mom's the Word".[66]
Personal life[edit]
Relationships and family[edit]
On May 21, 1945, Bacall married actor Humphrey Bogart. Their wedding and honeymoon took place at Malabar Farm, Lucas, Ohio, the country home of Pulitzer Prize-winning author Louis Bromfield, a close friend of Bogart. The wedding was held in the Big House.[clarification needed]
Bacall was 20 and Bogart was 45; thus, she was nicknamed "Baby". They remained married until Bogart's death from esophageal cancer in 1957. Pressed by interviewer Michael Parkinson to talk about her marriage to Bogart, and asked about her notable reluctance to do so, she replied that "being a widow is not a profession".[67] During the filming of The African Queen (1951), Bacall and Bogart became friends of Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy. She began to mix in non-acting circles, becoming friends with the historian Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. and the journalist Alistair Cooke. In 1952, she gave campaign speeches for Democratic Presidential contender Adlai Stevenson. Along with other Hollywood figures, Bacall was a staunch opponent of McCarthyism.[68][69]
Shortly after Bogart's death in 1957, Bacall had a relationship with singer and actor Frank Sinatra. During an interview with Turner Classic Movies's Robert Osborne, Bacall stated that she had ended the romance but in her autobiography, she wrote that Sinatra abruptly ended the relationship after becoming angry that the story of his proposal to Bacall had reached the press. When Bacall was out with her friend Irving Paul Lazar, they ran into the gossip columnist Louella Parsons, to whom Lazar revealed the details of the proposal.[citation needed]
Bacall later met actor Jason Robards. Their marriage was originally scheduled to take place in Vienna, Austria on June 16, 1961;[70] however, the plans were shelved after Austrian authorities refused to grant the pair a marriage license.[71] They were also refused a marriage in Las Vegas, Nevada.[72] On July 4, 1961, the couple drove all the way to Ensenada, Mexico, where they wed.[72][73] The couple divorced in 1969. According to Bacall's autobiography, she divorced Robards mainly because of his alcoholism.[74][75]
Bacall had a son and daughter with Bogart and a son with Robards. Her children with Bogart are her son Stephen Humphrey Bogart (born January 6, 1949), a news producer, documentary film maker and author; and her daughter Leslie Howard Bogart (born August 23, 1952), a nurse and yoga instructor who is married to Erich Schiffmann. Sam Robards (born December 16, 1961), her son with Robards, is an actor.
She wrote two autobiographies, Lauren Bacall By Myself (1978) and Now (1994).[76][77] In 2006, the first volume of Lauren Bacall By Myself was reprinted as By Myself and Then Some with an extra chapter.[78]
Political views[edit]
Bacall was a staunch liberal Democrat. She proclaimed her political views on numerous occasions. In October 1947, Bacall and Bogart traveled to Washington, D.C., along with other Hollywood stars, in a group that called itself the Committee for the First Amendment (CFA). She appeared alongside Humphrey Bogart in a photograph printed at the end of an article he wrote, titled "I'm No Communist", in the May 1948 edition of Photoplay magazine,[79] written to counteract negative publicity resulting from his appearance before the House Un-American Activities Committee. Bogart and Bacall distanced themselves from the Hollywood Ten and said: "We're about as much in favor of Communism as J. Edgar Hoover."[80][81]
She campaigned for Democratic candidate Adlai Stevenson in the 1952 Presidential election and for Robert Kennedy in his 1964 run for the U.S. Senate. In a 2005 interview with Larry King, Bacall described herself as "anti-Republican... A liberal. The L-word." She added that "being a liberal is the best thing on earth you can be. You are welcoming to everyone when you're a liberal. You do not have a small mind."[82]
Lauren Bacall died on August 12, 2014, at her longtime home in The Dakota, the Upper West Side apartment building overlooking Central Park in Manhattan. She was 89, five weeks short of her 90th birthday. According to her grandson Jamie Bogart, the actress died after suffering a massive stroke.[3] She was confirmed dead at New York–Presbyterian Hospital.[83][84] Bacall was survived by three children, six grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren.[85] She is buried at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California.[86]
Bacall had an estimated $26.6 million estate and in her will she left $10,000 to her youngest son, Sam Robards, so he would be able to take care of her dog, Sophie. Bacall also left money to two of her employees, Ilsa Hernandez and Maria Santos. Hernandez received $15,000 while Santos received $20,000. Bacall left $250,000 to each of her six grandchildren and the bulk of her estate was divided among her three children, Leslie Bogart, Stephen Humphrey Bogart and Sam Robards.[87][88] She owned artworks by artists including John James Audubon, Max Ernst, David Hockney, Henry Moore and Jim Dine.[89]

The inhabited islands along the southern side of Majuro Atoll have been joined over time by landfill and a bridge to form a 30-mile road from Rita, on the extreme eastern end, to Laura, at the western end. Both villages were so code-named by U.S. forces in World War II after favorite pinups Rita Hayworth and Lauren Bacall.

Real Madrid captain Iker Casillas is expecting a backlash from Barcelona when the two meet again in the league on Saturday after Madrid's 3-1 victo-ry over the Catalans on Tuesday.
The Spanish champions booked their place in the Spanish Cup final with a complete performance that restricted Barca to very little going forward and contained their usual lightning speed on the counter-attack.
But Casillas believes he knows many of his international colleagues in the Barca side too well to think they will take defeat lying down.
"I know many of the Barcelona players and I know that they are competitive," he told the club's website.
Despite their joy in the cup, in the league it is Barca who have been the dominant force this season as they arrive in the capital with a 16-point advantage over Real.

the game of equal comparisons works in the other way too..
ATi AF should be set to 16x and Nvidia in 8x.. since we already know
the shortcuts that ATI does in ANisoF.
and since Nvidia is using 32bits more than ATI 96bits, a more real comparison will be Nvidia without AA/AF settings and ATI with all their settings to the high.. since is obviously Nvidia is rendering more and using a lot more precision and IQ
. and dont be
fooled with texturing sharpening ,it does an excelent job with IQ
Ok, so what your bizarre and flawed logic is trying to say is..
Because Radeon's uses 96Bit (FP24), and GeForce FX's use 128bit (FP32) for percision, then the Radeon's should be benched with full features on (full AF/AA), while the GFFX's are benched with 0 (zero) features turned on?
Do you smoke so much "Nvidia-issued crack" that this is your train of thought? And you BELIEVE it?
Ok, so.. theoretically, let's say that FP32 DOES provide such a leap in visual quality over FP24 that to get the quality of FP32 on FP24 you have to run in with full AA/AF (obviously the most outrageous idea ever posted)... What games actually use FP24 or FP32 TODAY to test this out?
Obviously, you need to be smacked in the face with a hatchet if you think that when the GFFX's uses FP32 (very slowly, mind you)
it equals the quality of an FP24 Radeon running with full AA/AF...

These are the most powerful brakes I have ever used. The modulation of them is unmatched and the lever and pad contact adjust-ability is top notch. Saint brakes inspire confidence and give you the ability to brake later into corners, but also shed just enough speed to navigate through techy lines. If you are building a DH rig or looking for an upgrade for your current ride you will not be disappointed.

Will the saint calipers work with 2012 Xtr levers
If you don't know now you know.
Starting at the levers, they've been reworked and are quite different then the new XT/XTR style mid/high pivot location and feature aluminum reach adjustment as well as an free stroke screw. . I'm not sure if I personally like the way the lever travels upon actuation but the feel of the Shimano Servowave technology is quite impressive. Looking at the lever more, you can see that there are a good bit of screws as well on the lever in general and the one piece clamp means you'll have to remove your grips to install or remove them. The one piece clap means it snaps when you crash/bail rather then having a screw or a back side clamp fail. Keep them lightly tightened so they will move out of the way rather then snap off. Overall the brake system worked near flawlessly outside of some ambient squealing they seemed to develop after getting broken in. The calipers come with metallic pads and these are typically louder than organic pads but I didn't really hear anything since I now have the confidence to go full speed and knowing I will be able to stop on a dime. While some squealing can often be felt in the lever itself as a shuddering gobble, the Saint brakes did not feel this way which was good. Brakes are one of the key parts on a bike and the Saint brakes instill confidence. The brakes felt best under heavy braking (or last minute braking) but didn't feel like they lost too much modulation in the slower sections that required a bit more finesse. It was easy to feel / predict the power of the brakes (especially at speed) and that is something a lot of brakes often lack. Power and a feel that no other brake can beat, I will never run another brake. Thank you Saint.

I am currently running Avid Code 5s w/ 203 rotors on a Giant Reign X1, will the avid 203 adapter work?
No. All brake manufacturer have slight differences in their sizing. If you run Shimano then you should use Shimano adapters, they will fit perfectly and your pads/rotors will last a lot longer. I ran some Avid's on my bike for a little while and when I got my Saint I was so pumped that I just slide it on and forgot to install the new Shimano adapter. Once I tried to get the wheel on the rotor wouldn't clear the caliper. So I put my Shimano adapter on and it lined up perfectly.
The Benchmark For Brakes
These brakes help set the standard for the DH/Freeride brakes on the market! They are still lightweight enough they don't hamper that uber light DH race build but burly enough they can still be counted on the put a halt to that failed attempt at the 30 ft Road Gap you sissied out on. So whether you rally the Garbanzo DH or huck down Upper Oil Can these brakes are the stuff!
Great adjustability for reach and pad contact plus great modulation, none of that on/off braking.
Brakes I have owned in the past: Magura Gustav(the OG yellow ones), Hayes Nine, Shimano XT(older style), All the Avid Juicy brakes, and even a few sets of the old Magura HS-22 on my old bikes.

hey, what type of rotors should you have with these brakes? will hayes stroker ryde rotors work?
Any rotor will work with these brakes save for maybe some of the older Magura rotors which were slightly thicker than the standard rotor of today. The only compatibility issue you will have to worry about will be the size of the rotor and the mounting interface.

do i have to have the saint hub to run the saint brakes?
Chris Kelly
No any hub will work
The hub will dictate the type of Rotor you need
and make sure you buy the right adapter for the size of rotor.
I bought this for the front and hayes stroker carbon for the rear. HUGE difference! I expected this and this is why I put the hayes on rear to counter locking. I love the Saint setup. Definately command your wheel with ease of reach and modulation.

the best yet
These brakes blow every other competitor out of the running. I've had avid 3,5,and code5's, but these are so much better.
They have unbelievable power and modulation, but probably my favorite thing about these brakes are how they setup on your bars, they just have a great feel. IMO the ergonomic lever has the perfect draw and the on-the-go lever reach adjustment has really come in handy on the trail. Setup is a breeze, took me less than fifteen minutes and the factory bleed is supeb.
What does this include, exactly?
What does this include, exactly?
Lever, hose, rotor, caliper, pads?
I'm assuming it's sans-rotor.
Beware, I purchased an "assembled" Saint brake off the site for the front and I was shipped a caliper, no hose, no rotor, no lever. BC said they were going to change the verbiage but...http://www.backcountry.com/store/SHI0170/Shimano-America-Saint-BR-M810-Hydraulic-Disc-Brake-Assembled-Front.html

The brake should include what is pictured, a complete, pre-bled brake without a rotor. That is how mine were shipped to me. Rotors a purchased separately so you can decide if you need 6 bolt or center lock.
crb2679009 sounds like you just bought the caliper, not the item listed above.

hey everyone,i'm deciding between the saints and the magura gustavs...i'm using hayes now ,and hate them !!!!!!!(on a cannondale judge team dh rig)..any feedback would be helpful.....
Mike Traslin
Can not go wrong with shimano!
Nick Simcik
Shimano will be much easier to locate parts, pads, and service for than Magura.
Magura's are one of the worst bakes out. I would rather have a BB7 then a Magura. Saint all the way!

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - The death toll from a powerful winter storm that pushed through the nation's midsection into the Northeast has risen to 12.
The storm has dropped about a foot in some parts of the Northeast Thursday, a day after it dumped a record snowfall in Arkansas and ruined holiday travel plans around the region.
The National Weather Service says the Northeast's heaviest accumulations will be in northern Pennsylvania, upstate New York and inland sections of several New England states.
In coastal areas, the storm is mostly bringing high winds and heavy rain.
Thousands of travelers were trying to make it home Thursday after the fierce storm stranded them at airports or relatives' homes around the region.
The latest storm-related deaths include a man checking on a disabled vehicle near Allentown, Pa., who was struck and killed Wednesday night, and two people killed in separate crashes in Virginia.

Online social networking sites, discussion forums and chat rooms such as those in the title are routinely associated with freedom of expression, critiques of established offline social and personal practices, and the creation of online communities and identities e.g. gamers, metrosexuals (Slouka, 1995; Wellman & Gulia, 1999). The opportunities afforded by these information and communication technologies, via the compression of time and space, allow instantaneousness for users. And also, since the user is not physically present in cyberspace (therefore it is easier to withdraw from problematic situations by exiting an online session, as opposed to a face-to-face interaction), new, alternative and diverse forms of identity and self-expression are able to thrive (Turkle, 1997). Of course, there are both positive and negative outcomes of interactions in cyberspace, which do not require the revealing of participants' status or situational cues e.g. Peter Chapman's recent murder conviction. However these social spaces do tend to facilitate a freer flow of information for isolated or 'non-out' individuals and groups (Hearn, 2005). Therefore new forms of individual and group identities, and those with identities arguably ridiculed and marginalised in society, can more easily claim these online in an age of almost universal access to cyberspace (Kollock, 1999).
