The crowded city bears a life of its own, with individuals and their personal spaces. It is as if they are lost within themselves, rarely affected by their surroundings. Yet every member makes the city what it is, giving the sense of anonymity.
This book documents how people interact with the city; their subconscious disconnections with signs, advertisements, and even others that intend to communicate with them.
I am currently a student at Stony Brook University studying business and digital arts. I was born in China and came to the U.S. in 1995, when I was 8. Through that time, I've lived mainly in New York and a small town in Texas. I guess I have a hard time identifying with others because of that. I like photography and arts because it allows me to put into material what I am thinking. And to tell the truth, I am always thinking. Thinking about me, life, the universe, and everything in between. Finding answers too.

15 Most Impressive Bits of Cooking Wisdom We Learned at This Weekend's NYCE
Here's what you missed at this year's New York Culinary Experience.
Over the weekend, more than 30 chefs from New York City and beyond assembled at the International Culinary Center for the New York Culinary Experience, hosted by the International Culinary Center and New York Magazine. True to traditions of pairing off stock whisperers and fondant masters with small groups of home cooks, Dominique Ansel took one group through the architectural grunt work of perfect croquembouche, Masaharu Morimoto broke down a whole tuna, and Michael Anthony shared a few secrets from the inner sanctum at Gramercy Tavern. From Jean-Georges Vongerichten's one-liners to Dan Barber's quips on freekah, here are the fifteen best things we learned this weekend.
1. "Cooking is 40 percent technique, 60 percent flavor!" —Jean-Georges Vongerichten, about to lead a class through the intricacies of asparagus with morels in a hollandaise sauce.
2. Christina Tosi: Cereal Milk helped make Momofuku Milk Bar a destination bakery, but what do you do with all those leftover milk-sogged Corn Flakes at home? Fold them into pancake batter, muffins, or cookie dough. You can even use them for stuffing.
3. "Whenever a sauce breaks, just add a little water to it and it comes right back." —Jean-Georges Vongerichten, on how to fix emulsified sauces like hollandaise.
4. Dan Barber, on freekah and emmer: Throw your grains in the freezer for ten minutes before you use them. The flavor and nutrition are lost when they're warm and ground.
5. Jean-Georges Vongerichten: When cooking fish, stick a thin metal pin right down to the center then touch it to your chin. If the stick is cold, the fish isn't done. If it's warm, that means the fish is cooked all the way to the center and ready to plate.
6. "Milk powder is the MSG of pastry chefs." —Christina Tosi, who says she uses the stuff in "everything" because it makes pie fillings creamier.
7. Dan Barber: When baking with grains, use 75 percent all-purpose flour and 25 percent whole grains like emmer or freekah.
8. Michael Anthony: When making chicken stock, use the skimmed chicken fat to make croutons with a sprig of thyme and a crushed clove of garlic.
9. Dan Barber: The perfect and only ratio you'll ever need for pickling brine is (by volume) nine parts rice wine vinegar, five parts sugar, one part salt.
10. Dan Barber: After you blanch greens, shock them in an ice bath and "dry them like you dry a baby's bottom" to keep the super bright green color. Soggy greens mean faded greens!
11. None of this "seed your tomatoes and discard the pulp" nonsense for Cesare Casella. "When you find a perfectly ripe tomato," he says, "the seeds are the most flavorful part."
12. Try this one if you cut the nob off a drumstick and roast it, the skin will roll up on its own, and the chicken will come out looking like a fancy lollipop, says Michael Anthony, who also suggests using the tail end of the knife near the bolster for this job.
13. Use whole oats when baking instead of quick oats. If you use quick oats, you'll end up making instant oatmeal, which turns to mush when baked. "We learned that the hard way," says Christina Tosi.
14. "Roasting a chicken is a bit of a Barbie complex," says Mike Anthony, who's clearly never gone tanning."You want the skin to be seared but you also want the thighs to be moist and the breasts not to be overcooked." Cook the chicken in a pan on its sides first, then its back. Then throw it in the oven.
15. When peeling asparagus, most cooks throw away the peels. Save them to make a puree to pour onto a place. "At Jean-Georges, we don't waste anything," says Jean-Georges Vongerichten, on root-to-stalk vegetable cooking.

- The gunman topples over dead, having just been shot by a good guy we didn't realize was there. Bonus points if the gunman's fall out of frame dramatically reveals the shooter behind him.
- The bad guy two feet to the left of the hero topples over dead, because the gunman was a good guy after all, or has just come to some kind of understanding with the hero and is now their ally. Or, of course, it was The Blofeld Ploy. Can be used a subversion where the gunman just misses.
open/close all folders
Anime and Manga
- Also twice in Noir "Intoccabile Acte II". The first time a mook is firing into three small waterfalls where Kirika may be hiding; as he turns to face the third waterfall we hear a shot which turns out to be Kirika firing first. And when the Intoccabile appears to have stabbed Mirielle, it turns out that Kirika has shot her blade in half.
- Code Geass ended the first season finale on this trope and, infuriatingly, didn't show the answer until the second episode of R2. Both Lelouch and Suzaku fired near-misses, at which point Suzaku charged in and knocked the gun out of Lelouch's hand, ending the standoff.
- Done again at the tail end of R2, wherein Diethard is aiming a gun at Lelouch, we hear a gunshot, and then Diethard falls over, having been shot in the shoulder by the now-Geassed Schneizel.
- In the finale of Gundam SEED Destiny, ZAFT Chairman Gilbert Durandal is confronted by not one but two gunmen, Kira Yamato and his former lover Talia Gladys. A shot rings out, and it turns out he's been shot by neither of them. His killer is Rey Za Burrel, a clone who he'd been a father figure to. Everybody betrayed Gilbert, but because due to the way the series was handled, it usually shown with little or no explanation.
- A version of this is done with a sword in Kyo Kara Maoh!. During the period when Conrad is pretending to be a traitor, Yuri is captured, tied up, and presented to Conrad to kill. Conrad takes the sword, walks up to Yuri, and then there's a swish as the sword is swung... only to show that Yuri's bindings have been slashed through and Conrad is taking down the guards around them.
- A rather complicated one at the end of the second episode of Darker Than Black, combined with subversions of Diving Save and Taking the Bullet. Jean points a gun at Chiaki, and Hei jumps in front of her as we hear a gunshot; however, she was the one who shot him, as she was actually a Doll implanted with the original's personality and Jean had just wiped it. Subverted in that, unfortunately for the bad guys who then proceed to empty a good five shots into his back while he's lying on the ground apparently incapacitated, Hei's Badass Longcoat is bulletproof no matter who's shooting at him.
- In Angel Cop, Angel's first act on camera is to save Raiden in a Bait-and-Switch Gunshot scene.
- Done in Gosick during one of the Queen Berry episodes.
- This happens, but is subverted, twice in Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex.
- In Jungle Cruise, Batou is set on capturing a war-turned murderous psychopath named Marco Amoretti who still thinks that he's fighting his own personal war. Marco has committed murders around the city that cuts too Close to Home to Batou, and he knows it's up to him to finally end it all. Batou chases after him, eventually cornering him up against a wall with his pistol aimed at Marco's head. Marco finds pleasure in the situation. He excitedly begs Batou to shoot him, put a bullet in his brain and end it all. Batou is seething with rage at this point, more than willing to give in to his plea. Togusa rounds the corner and shouts out for him to stop just in time to hear gunfire. We see Marco's body spasm and contort against the wall as Batou empties his gun. Marco is then surprised but at the same time disappointed that he's still alive. Batou emptied his gun into the wall on either side of his head, and finally arrests him.
- An homage to Taxi Driver, Night Cruise in the 2nd season focuses on a war veteran turned refugee named Gino, who found a way to cope with his PTSD by imagining scenarios in his head where he suddenly becomes the hero by killing his scumbag boss, saving the life of a hooker, and at one point dreaming of a Heroic Sacrifice just to have the hooker fall for him. Section 9 was monitoring him to tell whether he'd actually carry out these dreams or not. In the real world though, he buys the services of a prostitute, only to find that he doesn't have enough money for very much more than having her undress. When he tries to bargain with her, she calmly calls for her boss to deal with the situation. The pimp drags him out into the back alley and points a gun at his head in one hand while holding all of Gino's cash in the other. Gino begs him not to shoot or take all his money. Gino winces as he hears the pimp yell "BANG!" before putting his gun away, tossing Gino his clothes, and leaving him in the trash where he lay.
- Brilliantly done in episode 61 of Legend of Galactic Heroes, where Yang thought he was dead for sure when the Alliance soldier ordered to execute him pointed his gun at him and a shot was fired. Turns out that the shot was fired by Frederica Greenhill, who managed to rescue Yang in the nick of time.
- Sword Art Online Season II episode 9 ends with a Smash to Black and a gunshot. Episode 10 reveals what happened.
Comic Books
- In Ultimate X-Men #12, right after Nightcrawler saves Colonel Wraith, the mutant-hating head of Weapon X, from an exploding helicopter, Wraith pulls out a gun to shoot him. The next panel shows a gun being fired, and in the next three, it becomes clear that Wraith was gunned down by Nick Fury, who had apparently been standing off camera with hundreds of SHIELD agents.
- At the climax of the X-Men story God Loves, Man Kills, the villain is pointing a gun at Kitty Pride. There's a BLAM, then we see some random security guard shot the villain, because clearly anyone willing to point a gun at an unarmed teenage girl has got to be in the wrong.
- In Joker, a cop points a gun at an out-of-ammo Joker, we see a BLAM and The Joker's shocked reaction, then Joker looks down and we see the corpse of the cop, now with a big hole in his head courtesy of Jonnny Frost, who'd come up behind Joker just in time.
- Inverted in Gotham Central, when Joker escapes custody and steals a handgun in Central precinct, he corners Stacy and prepares to shoot her, saying "Kiss kiss" followed by the Bang Bang sound effect... Of Captain Sawyer shooting him.
- Speaking of which, there's also the Joker's "Bang!" Flag Gun which at first plays this trope straight by (seemingly) being a prop, then subverts this trope by actually being a lethal spear gun, with the flag acting as the spear.
- A rare reversal of the Hero's and Villain's roles occurs in The Walking Dead. Rick is about to finish off Negan, delivers his Pre-Mortem One-Liner, and there's a full 2-page spread of the "Blam!" The next page reveals that Rick's gun has been Blasted Out Of His Hand.
- Variation in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life, where the shooter is the heroine herself, we just didn't realise she was holding a gun.
- In Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indy gets cornered in Marion's bar by a Nepalese thug, and a gunshot is heard. Indy jumps and grabs for his stomach, only to find no bullet. The thug slowly lowers his gun, some blood trickles from his mouth, and he falls to reveal Marion behind him with a smoking gun.
- Hitchcock did it in North By Northwest in 1959.
- Happened three times in the Brazilian movie Lisbela e o Prisioneiro (Lisbela and the Prisoner). Actually, it happened only once, but they flashed back to it twice. Frederico was about to kill the title prisoner, a gunshot was heard, and the Frederico died. Then, there is a flashback, in which it appears Lisbela was the one who fired the shot. Later, it is revealed Lisbela's gun was empty, and the one who shot Frederico was actually his wife.
- Done to the letter in The Thirteenth Floor. The good girl is running away from her mad husband from the future (don't ask), and finds herself in a wide open space with nowhere to go. Said husband lifts his gun and she closes her eyes, ready for the worst. The camera stays on her, there is a bang and she shudders - but a second later she opens her eyes, and we see the husband has been shot by another good guy instead.
- Pirates of the Caribbean:
- Happens during the climax of Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.
- And again near the beginning of Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, a british soldier corners Jack after he escapes custody, only to be shot dead by Jack's father.
- Done in The Lookout when Lewis (who is blind) is being held at gunpoint by Bone; the gunshot is Chris killing Bone, and Lewis wonders out loud if he's dead.
- A Type B example in Undercover Brother. The villainness White She Devil is pointing a gun at the two heroes, with one of her thugs standing on each side of them. WSD fires two shots - and the thugs fall dead. It turns out she fell in love with Undercover Brother while seducing him to her side.
- In Force 10 from Navarone, Maritza Petrovich and her Nazi minions are guarding the two heroes. The heroes try to attack them and Maritza fires her submachine gun - killing the two guards. She explains that she's a plant in the Nazi organization.
- Babylon A.D. has a particularly effective one. Vin Diesel's character is hit by fighter drones while escorting Aurora and Sister Rebecca across the Bering Strait. His 'friend' Finn decides to take Aurora for himself, believing she's a priceless viral weapon. When Sister Rebecca objects he says matter-of-factly: "You, I don't need." A shot then rings out...and Finn falls dead, revealing the Not Quite Dead Vin Diesel holding a pistol. The scene works because Rebecca is not a main character, and thus more likely to get shot — she does in fact get killed later on.
- Shows up in The Mummy Returns. Granted, no savvy viewer should fall for that one, since not only is the false shooter a random mook aiming for a major character, but he's also going for a point-blank shot through the chest(which tends to make its victim do something a bit less subtle than look shocked). Also, trailers show that main character would participate in the big battle which hadn't happened yet.
- Ronin plays the "thought he was dead" variation with Jean Reno's character rescuing Robert de Niro's.
- Race for the Yankee Zephyr (1981). A mook is trying to shoot the protagonists from a helicopter with what appears to be a rifle. Finally a shot rings out, and we see a protagonist snared by one of the deer-catching nets used in the opening of the movie.
- In 16 Blocks, whether the gunshot is false or real is the key difference between the two endings.
- Escape to Athena (1979). After La Résistance seize the submarine refueling depot, a machine gun is seen swivelling menacingly towards the heroes, but when it fires it kills a German guard on the roof who was about to shoot David Niven, as one of the good guys has already taken over the bunker.
- James Bond
- Thunderball. As Largo is about to shoot Bond, Domino shoots him from behind with a speargun.
- And in For Your Eyes Only, Bond is being chased by mooks when he's suddenly confronted by a veiled figure pointing a crossbow...who shoots the mook running up behind him. She removes the veil to reveal herself as the female protagonist.
- And in Spectre. As Bond Girl Lucia Sciarra arrives home from her husband's funeral and walks out to the courtyard, two assassins loom behind and take aim. We hear two muffled gunshots. . .and as their bodies fall to the ground and the focus clears, we see that Bond has killed them both.
- My Fellow Americans, a film about two ex-presidents Kramer and Douglas trying to clear their names of a kickback taken by the incumbent, comes to a climax after the two make it to the White House and are racing to a press conference to expose the scandal. An evil NSA agent by the name of Colonel Tanner pulls his car onto the White House lawn, cutting the two off, all while screaming orders to shoot the presidents at two Secret Service snipers on the roof, claiming they are imposters. He raises his gun after the snipers hesitate. A shot rings out. Cue Disturbed Doves. Tanner falls dead by one of the snipers, who reveals he knew they were the real presidents, as he had met them while dressed as Dorothy Gale during a gay pride parade. He had given them a bracelet which was sticking out of Kramer's pocket.
- Judge Dredd. When a Capture Team member is about to shoot Dredd, Judge Fargo shoots the CT member from behind. Later at the end, when Dr. Hayden was going to kill Dredd, Judge Hershey shoots her from behind.
- Under Siege. As Doumer (Colm Meaney) is about to shoot Chief Ryback (Steven Seagal), several shots ring out and Doumer falls to the deck dead. Behind him is standing Jordan Tate (Erika Eleniak), Ryback's Love Interest, with a gun in her hands. She has Taken A Level In Badass just in time to save him.
- Happens in Taken 2 after a rooftop chase scene.
- The film adaptaion of the Alex Rider book Stormbreaker, Operation Stormbreaker, added a final scene where Alex is hanging on a electrical cable over the edge of a skyscraper, with his friend Sabina also hanging on to his legs. Sayle is on the roof above with his gun trained on him about to shoot when suddenly Yassen appears hanging from a helicopter upside down using a harness. Seemingly lining himself up with Alex (much in the same why that he when murdering Alex's uncle) he pulls out two pistols, and the scene cuts to the shocked onlookers down below as two shots ring out making it seem like he killed Alex. Cut to Alex, alive and bewildered about what happened then to Sabina in the same state before we see Sayle's body fall fall over the side of the building.
- The Killing Room (2009). Several volunteers are locked in a room for a psychological experiment, only to be killed off one-by-one, with the implication being that only one man (if any) will be allowed to survive. In the end it's down to two people, one of whom seems more likely to survive. The other has a gun with one bullet, so he decides to kill himself in a Heroic Sacrifice. As he quickly shoves the gun in his mouth there's a gunshot, and bloodsplatter, then several other gunshots — the researchers have burst into the room and shot his companion, as the test is meant to recruit people capable of sacrificing themselves in Suicide Attacks.
- The supposed execution of two captives in Unknown (2006). The protagonist is alone with them and points a gun at their heads, ready to pull the tricker. The scene cuts away to one of the kidnappers in the car as he hears two gunshots. Later it turns out, the protagonist tricked the baddies and both captives are still alive, ready to kick asses.
- In Mirage (1965), during a Russian Roulette scene, as we expect the henchman to pull the trigger on the hero for the third time, we hear a shot and see the baddie collapse. Then the camera shows the Love Interest as she holds the smoking gun.
- In Layer Cake, when the sniper aims at a person who appears to be the target, a shot is fired and we see a Gory Discretion Shot of blood splattered on some leafs. We assume the target was hit, but the next camera shot reveals that it was Mr Lucky who got hit by another sniper.
- Total Recall (1990). Cohaagen has Quaid at gunpoint in the underground mine and is about to shoot him. Shots are fired and Cohaagen is shot...by Melina, Quaid's Action Girl companion.
- After the Sunset. As local gangster Moret holds the hero Max and his girlfriend Lola hostage, there's a struggle, a gunshot, Max's body jerks. . .and as Moret falls to the floor, we see that the fatal shot came from either FBI agent Stan or local Fair Cop Sophie.
- Who Framed Roger Rabbit Jessica Rabbit points a gun at Eddie Valiant. Until this point in the film, it's been unclear where her loyalties lie. As Eddie turns to face her, seemly resigned to his fate, we see the shadow of a menacing figure looming behind him. Jessica promptly proves she's one of the good guys by screaming, "Behind you!" and firing a shot at his would-be killer.
- Wild Geese II. Scott Glenn's character is walking through the forest with The Chick while a man with a scoped rifle takes aim...and shoots a boar. This Cat Scare gives a plot excuse for the subsequent Coitus Ensues moment.
- In Asimov's Foundation series, one of the prequels shows Hari Seldon getting a blaster aimed at him. He is surprised to hear the sound, since if you get vaporized by a blaster you never get a chance to hear it. Turned out the one aiming at him was thrown clear when the real villain (not the aimer but the man controlling him) was blasted instead, by a third party.
- In William King's Warhammer 40,000 novel Space Wolf, the Chaos Space Marine is facing Ragnor, who can not move under a spell. He hears a shot. Then he realizes he wasn't hit, and that Strybjorn must have regained consciousness and shot the Chaos Space Marine.
- In Graham McNeill's Ultramarines novel Dead Sky Black Sun, when Uriel and Pasanius are facing the Iron Warriors and Uriel goes down, he hears shots and wonders why he is not dead. Then he realizes that the Unfleshed have reached them.
- Played with in the Thursday Next books, where Thursday uses a literal plot device, labelled "A shot rang out", to this effect.
- In Ben Counter's Warhammer 40,000 Horus Heresy novel Galaxy In Flames, Tarvitz is flying a Thunderbird, trying to get word to the Astartes that they have been betrayed, pleading with his friend Garro to believe him, when his pursuers have in him range and open fire. He waits for his death, and then Garro hails him, saying his pursuers are dead and asking him to tell him that it was true.
- Non-firearm example: The last chapter of Darkly Dreaming Dexter ends with the line "And the knife came down". The epilogue takes place at a funeral. At first it's made to seem as if Dexter's sister Deb was the victim, but in fact it's revealed to be Detective LaGuerta.
- Done with a crossbow in Small Gods to Dervi Ichlos. (It isn't a spoiler because his name isn't revealed until after he dies anyway.)
- In Book 3 of the Han Solo Trilogy (Rebel Dawn), Han and Bria were held at gunpoint by Teroenza, who's been waiting for this moment for a while. A gunshot is heard, and at first Han thinks Bria has been shot, only for Boba Fett to reveal himself, having shot Teroenza for a bounty he took on earlier in the book. Played With for a second here, as Han and the reader likely expect that Fett will simply take Bria and Han away as well, But Fett simply explains that they are fortunate that he doesn't mix business and pleasure.
- In one instance in Rogue Squadron, Corran Horn has taken a blaster shot to the gut, and is now on the wrong end of an Imperial commando's gun. A shot rings out and he flinches, then goes, "Wait, dead people don't flinch." Cue Wedge and half the base's staff as The Cavalry.
- In Skeleton Key, the third Alex Rider novel, the climax has the Big Bad General Alexei Sarov standing over Alex with a gun. He has him dead to rights, and the chapter simply concludes with Sarov saying "Good-bye, Alex", and the narration reading "He raised the gun and fired a single shot." In the next chapter, we learn that Sarov actually committed suicide. That single shot was fired straight into his own heart.
- The first book, Stormbreaker, also does this. Herod Sayle has Alex cornered on the roof and has him at gunpoint, and the narration says "There were two explosive cracks." But it's Sayle who falls over dead, shot by Yassen.
- We get another instance of this in the seventh book, Snakehead. Anan Sukit has a gun pointed at Alex, trying to escape a fighting ring on a boat, and three shots are fired. Sukit drops his gun into the water, then falls over, three bullets in his back courtesy of Ben Daniels (aka Fox from Stormbreaker).
- Finally, the last book, Scorpia Rising, features this trope in its climax, after Alex and Julius (the Dr. Grief clone from Point Blanc given surgery to look exactly like Alex) have engaged in a chase-slash-gunfight through the streets of Cairo. After confronting an injured Julius (hit by a taxi), Alex goes to walk away, but notices Julius scrambling for his gun. The chapter ends on these two lines:
Julius fired a single shot.But Alex fired first.
- In Tricky Business, Manny Arquero has the drop on Tark and is just about to squeeze the trigger on his AK-47, but he doesn't get it off since the first bullet in the shootout is fired right into his back by Bobby Kemp wearing a Conrad Conch costume.
- Bassam Baradj in Win, Lose or Die is dealt with this way. He aims his gun at James Bond, but the following gunshot doesn't come from him, but from a fellow agent of Bond's.
- Joe Pickett: Happens in Below Zero. A wounded April is lying next to a wrecked car when the trio of hitman brothers who are chasing Robert show up. When she says she doesn't know where Robert has gone, one of the three lifts his gun and aims it at her. She shuts her eyes and hears a gunshot. When she realises she is not dead, she opens her eyes in time to see the hitman fall over with a hole in his head, having been shot by Nate who has just arrived.
- Bored of the Rings does this without firearms, when Karsh is about to subject Moxie and Pepsi to a little Cold-Blooded Torture:
"Ho ho!" chortled the narc as he stood over Moxie like some housewife sizing up a kielbasa. He raised the flaming iron and Moxie screeched at the sound of a blow. But when he opened his eyes again, his torturer was still standing above him, looking oddly different in expression. It was then that the boggie noticed that his head was missing. The body collapsed like a punctured whoopee cushion, and over it, triumphant, was the leering figure of Goulash.
Live Action TV
- Another excellent variation is the climax of the "Living in Harmony" episode of The Prisoner. The Sheriff (our hero, Patrick McGoohan) and the Kid (the villain, Alexis Kanner) are having a quickdraw gunfight. There's a lightning draw, the sound of just a single shot, and we see the Kid nonchalantly spin his revolver on his finger and holster it. Then drop to his knees and keel over, dead. Bonus points because they allegedly filmed the quickdraw for real (with blanks, obviously), and there really was just the one gunshot sound - because, it transpired when they developed the film and watched it back, McGoohan beat Kanner to the draw by just two frames.
- Done in Alias once.
- Done repeatedly to death, flipped over and done again every two hours in 24. Usually with Jack Bauer doing the shooting.
- Subverted, inverted and then averted in a sketch of a 1970s German slapstick comedy show. There, a thief threatens a passerby, claiming that he trains a gun at him in his trenchcoat pocket. The passerby, however, sneers that he knows that it's only his index finger. Suddenly then, a shot rips out of it, killing the passerby instantly. The thief, however, quite shocked himself, quickly pulls his hand out of the pocket (he had indeed mimed a gun the whole time) and blows madly at his churned, smoking index finger.
- This can, in fact, be done without a gun (given the right circumstances and some creative camera work), as proved in this scene from Nip/Tuck. (Very spoilery for the end of S2.)
- Variant in the Torchwood episode "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang" - Ianto has his gun trained on an alien holding a hostage. The alien says the team's useless without Jack, Ianto is an office boy in over his head, and he won't have the guts to shoot. Then a shot rings out and the alien collapses. Ianto stares at his gun in surprise, but behind him, Jack has just fired. "Hi, kids. Miss me?"
- Done in The X-Files when Agent Mulder is caught by terrorists after infiltrating a cell. He's taken out in the woods to be executed by two terrorists and is shocked when one of them shoots the other instead of him. Turns out the shooter was a government operative who had infiltrated the cell as well and, although in deep, couldn't shoot Mulder because they were on the same side.
- CSI first season finale.
- Lexie Grey on Grey's Anatomy is saved by one of those.
- Done in the Doctor Who serial The Mind of Evil.
- Also in The War Games with the Second Doctor narrowly escaping execution by firing squad.
- My Own Worst Enemy: Henry has just given information about Janus to a man he thinks is from the FBI. The man pulls a gun and is about to shoot Henry when he topples over dead, shot by Henry's therapist.
- In the Lost episode "The Variable," Daniel has a gun on Richard and is counting down to firing, "3..2.." when we hear a shot. Daniel has been shot by Ellie.
- In the following episode, when Sayid shoots the Hostile who was about to shoot Kate.
- And in "What Kate Does", Aldo almost shoots Jin, but Claire gets him instead.
- Done in Heroes in a scene with Sylar and Mohinder. Mohinder has bound Sylar and is giving him a drug through an IV that will make him unable to use his powers. After using Sylar for testing and such, Mohinder finally pulls out a gun and aims it at Sylar's head. He pulls the trigger and Sylar's head snaps back. But wait, the camera turns around to show the bullet floating in mid air before dropping to the ground. Turns out Sylar was able to stop the IV drip so that his powers were in his control again.
- Another moment which fits the spirit of the trope, if not the letter, happens when Sylar's mother tries to kill him with a pair of scissors; they struggle, too closely to tell clearly what's going on, then there is a sound effect, Sylar looks horrified, and they stumble apart to reveal said scissors sticking out of Mommy's chest.
- Babylon 5 had one of these when Garibaldi was taken as a hostage by a group of rogue telepaths. The gunshot was heard in a Flash Forward, but the rest of the scene took half a season to set up.
- In the Syfy miniseries Alice, Walrus has just shot Carpenter and is about to shoot Alice. Several shots go off, Alice gasps, and the camera pans to show Hatter has moved from hiding to pop up behind Alice and kill Walrus.
- In Chuck, the villain has a gun to Sarah's head, Chuck and Shaw are stunned, the gunman starts to move away, we hear a shot and Sarah drops to the floor. Casey muses that he's one of the five in the world that can make a shot from such a distance.
- Four now, since the rifle was set up for the gunman.
- White Collar: Neal is cornered by Adler, a shot rings out, and Adler drops as Peter shoots him from behind.
- Castle : Castle and Beckett are facing each other pointing guns. After a few seconds, two shots are heard, and both of the murderers sneaking up behind both of them fall over backwards. Castle reaches down and feels his lower body for a Crowning Moment of Funny. Naturally, this is the first you see of the two sneaking up. The shot of them aiming at each other was used at the beginning of the episode, and featured a How We Got Here that encompasses the summer break (as it was the third season premiere).
- Happens at the end of the third episode of Wild Boys. Butler raises his gun to shoot the hostages, a shot rings out, and Butler topples forward, shot by Jack who has escaped and returned to the bank in the nick of time.
- The end of one Covert Affairs episode, after Annie has been chased around Argentina by the local authorities, the cops catch up to her right as her CIA extraction team arrives, point a gun right at her, make it look like things are about to get way more complicated... then shoot the assassin on the ground that she'd just knocked out, and tell her to just leave already.
- Criminal Minds has one of these for the final scence of the season four finale. And subverted, no one shot the Reaper, he just shot the wall behind Hotch in a (failed) attempt to scare him.
- The Cliffhanger to the first part of the Murdoch Mysteries two-parter "A Stroll on the Wild Side" is Anna being chased down by a Black Hand hitman, and the screen goes to black as we hear a gunshot. The following week's resolution, of course, is that Murdoch shot the hitman.
- The Red Dwarf episode "Back to Reality" has this: A fascist policeman aims his gun at an escaping girl whose only crime was stealing an apple. We see a close-up of the fascist head's as gunshots ring out. The fascist then collapses, with Jake Bullet/Kryten revealed to have been right behind him, a smoking gun in his hand.
- In the NCIS episode "Judgement Day Part 2", Gibbs is finally meeting the mastermind of the plot that killed Jenny Shepherd. They're alone, no one knows where he went, she has a gun on him and is about to pull the trigger, we see a closeup of Gibbs' face and hear a shot, he flinches—and she keels over dead, shot from behind by Mike Franks.
- Subverted in "Kanalua", during the third season of the Hawaii Five-0 reimagining. McGarrett and Danny have their guns drawn on the wounded survivor of the robbery at the beginning of the episode, who's got a hostage at gunpoint. All of a sudden, he falls to the ground, not from a gunshot anywhere but because he had chosen that moment to die from his earlier wound. The subversion is lampshaded throughout that and the next scene, when Danny refuses to believe that McGarrett didn't actually do something, or even that he just knew the Mook would choose that exact moment to succumb.
- In an early episode of Post Apocalyptic series Jericho during a showdown with escaped convicts.
- On General Hospital, after a local mob boss's thugs took revenge on the Spencer family by shooting up their home, Luke roamed through the house looking for the final intruder. Thanks to him constantly calling out to wife Laura, warning her to stay put, the bad guy was honing in on the sound of his voice. There's the sound of the gunshot, Luke's body jerks. . .and after the commercial break it is revealed that Laura had grabbed a gun of her own, snuck up behind the guy, and blown him away.
- UFO episode "ESP". John Croxley lures Ed Straker and Alec Freeman to the ruins of his house with the intent of killing them. While he's pointing a gun at them two shots ring out - and Croxley crumples to the ground, dead. Paul Foster appears behind Croxley holding a gun. He heard Croxley threatening Straker and Freeman and shot him to save their lives.
- Used in an episode of Diagnosis: Murder, when a woman who thinks she has psychic powers has a vision of Mark being abducted by the murderer at gunpoint, followed by a vision of a revolver being fired, leading to her believing that Mark is in danger. The scene then switches to the studio where the abduction was taking place, revealing that Mark's son Steve interrupted the abduction, fired the gun and injured the murderer.
- Done for suspense in "The Blacklist" during the first Anslo Garrick episode. Right after killing Luli Zheng, the titular Hero Killer holds Dembe, Red's bodyguard and close friend' to gunpoint, demanding the code to open the secure room Red is locked inside of so he can enact his vengenance. Assistant Director Cooper refuses to comply, and the episode fades to black, with the sound of a gunshot. In Anslo Garrick: Conclusion, we briefly rewatch these events, beofr hearing the shot, learning it was actually Aram shooting one of Garrick's men, who was holding Liz. Dembe is not shot, as Anslo Garrick runs off to investigate.
- In the Title Sequence of The Avengers, Emma Peel aims a revolver at Steed, then shoots the cork off his champagne bottle.
- This trope was a staple of classic radio dramas like The Shadow, whose audio-only format made it especially easy to pull off convincingly. Even after the "thump" of a fallen body, you didn't know who'd been shot until the survivor(s) actually spoke aloud.
Video Games
- In the original Ninja Gaiden and it's sequel on the NES, at the end of the first level, Ryu would invariably meet with a character holding a gun. In the first game, he gets shot (though it later turns out to be a tranquilizer bullet). In the second game, however, the shot strikes the monstrous boss he just defeated moments before, who was attempting a deadly final attack on the ninja's back.
- A variation (involving a blank) is one of the possible outcomes of the duel near the end of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater.
- And in Metal Gear Solid 4 Mantis demonstrates her People Puppets power by forcing Meryl to put a gun to her head. The camera pans away, and you hear a gunshot. Then the camera change to reveal that Johnny just arrived and shot Mantis to save Meryl.
- Used again in the end of the fourth game, where Solid Snake decides to eat his gun. He loads the pistol and puts it to his mouth before the camera pans upward to the sky. A gunshot is heard before fading away from the scene. The Stinger, however reveals that he chickened out and shot the ground instead
- Though not a gunshot, a similar event happens in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. Zelgius, the general for the antagonistic army, disobeys the corrupt senate, and is later sentenced to a public execution. The executioner lifts up his sword, the screen goes black and the generic sound for taking damage is heard.... then the screen lights up again and the executioner falls over from an arrow shot by an ally of the hero.
- In the ending of Dead Connection, the protagonists are held at gunpoint by the Mafia boss. A gunshot rings out, before the screen changes to reveal that he was shot dead, by a woman whose fiancee had been killed earlier in the game.
- Played with in MadWorld. Noa orders several mooks to shoot down Jack, who just won the Varrigan City DeathWatch. While blood appears on Jack's forehead, it's not his but rather Noa's—he was shot from behind by Leo. However, Leo turns out to be not quite the good guy he claimed to be.
- In Final Fantasy VII, the party is imprisoned due to their connection to Barret after a man with a gun on his arm (actually Dyne) slaughters a bunch of people. When the party confronts Barret, he tells them to leave, aims his gun, fires... and hits a spy who followed them in.
- In Max Payne 2, Max interposes himself between Mona and Winterson, both of whom are about to attempt to kill the other. A gun goes off, and for a moment it's unclear who fired their gun at whom - only to reveal that Max has shot Winterson to protect Mona.
- In The World Ends with You, a flashback shows Joshua seemingly shooting and killing Neku. A later version of the same flashback reveals that Joshua actually shot, but did not kill, Minamimoto, who was standing behind Neku, and who then apparently shot and killed Neku. At the end of the game, though, the same flashback is shown...but this time, it's revealed that Minamimoto actually shot back at Joshua, who simply time-stopped the bullets. Minamimoto then fled, and Joshua shot and killed Neku for real.
- During [PROTOTYPE 2], James Heller arrives at the Blackwatch facility where Rook is holding his daughter Maya, and even taunted him about it in a public broadcast. When Heller arrives, Rook pulls a gun, then shoots his two lackeys and tells him to get his daughter and "get the hell out of [his] city", his likely justification being that James is so indestructible that holding him on the island is more dangerous than giving him what he wants so he just goes away.
Web Comics
- Used in This short Cyanide & Happiness flash toon.
- The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob!—Jerry shoots at Molly and her clone, the implication being that one (probably the clone) will die. Instead, he was aiming at a different target (the hitting of which creates a completely different large problem).
- Done again when Bob and Hibachi are hit with a Death Ray. Jean and Voluptua see this and flip out accordingly. Fortunately, Bob was carrying an anti-death ray gizmo.
- Used in Irregular Webcomic!, with a Nazi firing squad. It's a slight variation, since the shot heard was a warning shot by a rescuer
- Happens in Schlock Mercenary, with a slightly different form of type A. We hear the bang and see a hole in the good guy's forehead. THEN we see the bad guy fall over and find out: "It's not a bullet hole. It's the, umm... muzzle."
- A variation during the "Mount of Mages" arc in Casey and Andy. The Big Bad of the arc attempts to stab Queen Jenna, and the day's strip ends with the "shink!" of a presumed stabbing. The next update shows that Grand Vizier Milligawain has come in from offscreen to stab said Big Bad in the back before he can land the fatal blow.
Web Original
- I Love Bees: In the audio drama, Gene points a gun at Jan and yells "Die, bitch!", followed by a gunshot. It turns out Jan takes the gun and shoots Gene's foot.
Western Animation
- King of the Hill - To Kill a Ladybird - Ladybird may be rabid. Bobby raises his gun and Hank tells Bobby not to shoot Ladybird. Bobby fires and it looks like he missed Ladybird. He tells his dad that he didn't miss, and it turns out that he shot the raccoon which was sneaking up behind Hank.
- A variation occurs in Disney'sTarzan. Tarzan has an uncanny ability to imitate any sound he hears. He uses it to fake out Clayton by not actually shooting him, but instead making the sound of a gunshot.
- Happens in more than one "Tom & Jerry" short - with an appropriately theatrical "death" before the "victim" realizes the truth!
- 'Sid the Squid' in "The Man Who Killed Batman", is held at gunpoint by Rupert Thorne, who refuses to believe that anyone could kill Batman and escape the Joker out of dumb luck and thinks Sid is trying to depose him. A shot rings out... and turns out to be Thorne's goons in the next room trying (and failing) to stop Batman from barging in.
- Occurs at the climax of The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury.
- Occurs in the Family Guy episode And Then There Were Fewer when Diane Simmons, the murder of James Woods and several others, is about to shoot Lois at the edge of a cliff. A gunshot is heard, but instead Diane was shot by Stewie from a distance.
- Also used in the episode "Lois Kills Stewie." Stewie has Lois pushed to the floor and is about to shoot her with a shotgun. We see Lois flinch, but then we find out that Stewie had been shot from behind by Peter instead.
Peter: It's just been revoked!Brian: Uh, Peter, he didn't really set you up for that Lethal Weapon line. It doesn't really work here.Peter: Oh... I'll have what she's having.
- Also used in the episode "Lois Kills Stewie." Stewie has Lois pushed to the floor and is about to shoot her with a shotgun. We see Lois flinch, but then we find out that Stewie had been shot from behind by Peter instead.

Chelsie Sunde talking to small Guatemalan boy.
In July 2012, Chelsie Sunde, with other teens and leaders, spent three weeks in Guatemala working and playing with the children. When she arrived home she said, "I would like to go again." This year, as July came around, Sunde, eight other students, some from Christian Heritage School and some from other schools, traveled once more to Guatemala. Marty Klein, principal at Christian Heritage School and Scott Clemenson, a local firefighter, led the group. Their goal was the town of Magdalena.
Sunde said, "I worked with Students International, a program that puts students alongside long-term...

Just the other day, Nissan released an image showing all of its cars you can drive in Gran Turismo, with one little mystery hiding in the bottom right corner: a draped shape with the date June 10, 2014 – suggesting that it would reveal its Vision Gran Turismo on that date. Well, if you look at that calendar you'll realize that June 10 came and went yesterday, and Nissan didn't reveal the car.

Buy Soundcloud Followers only at $9.99.Get 120 Followers Within 7 days
Buy SoundCloud Followers For Promotion
Buy SoundCloud followers to increase the number of current followers. .Some artist has thousands of followers and some have zero followers. The later ones are more popular on Soundcloud than others. But getting thousands of followers is not possible overnight. it takes years to get thousands of followers.
But the new and struggling artist cannot wait for that much. In this case, you should buy Soundcloud followers for instant boast. The more followers you have, the more followers will be.
Most artists see no progress in followers for months. They became frustrated and stop singing. This is very dangerous. Instead of giving up the career, they could try to promote their profile with followers. If they tried, their career will be different. They may have today millions of fans waiting for a new album release.
You can promote your accounts but it is very time consuming and boring for artists who love singing. Obviously like every other problem in the world, this problem has a good solution. Promote your Soundcloud followers and get a user engaged profile.To save time on promotion,you should buy soundcloud followers.
People like to engage in where more people already be. For example, when you go in a market for shopping, you can see crowds before some shops. You can also see new people are going to the crowded shops instead of the crowd free ones. The reason is simple, people like engagement.
When you have many followers, it attracts more people to be your followers. This way, some followers can promote your song.
You can make your music be heard by friends and family. But the problem is that your friends or family is not enough .Just image how many people could this be in your friends and family. Maximum 50 or 100.But this is not enough when you try to promote a song around the world.

Ravenswood Students Given Priority in Requesting Transfers to M-A
Source: Angela Lai
October 21, 2013
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
As of the Sequo
ia Union High School District (SUHSD) Board meeting on October 9th, students from the Ravenswood School District wishing to transfer to Menlo-Atherton can be given priority over other students living outside the M-A attendance area. Previously, Ravenswood students hoping to attend M-A participated in the same open-enrollment lottery as other eighth-graders, which granted transfer requests as capacity allowed.
The Board voted 4-1 to allow Ravenswood students to bypass the open enrollment lottery. Ravenswood parents overwhelmingly favor the changes — despite living closer to M-A, Ravenswood students have been bussed to Carlmont and Woodside High School since 1986 as part of now-expired desegregation efforts. Many viewed this as unfair and detrimental to the students and parents who found their high school community less accessible as a result of this distance. Carlmont, for instance, is approximately 11 miles away from East Palo Alto, while M-A is around 3 miles from EPA.
Additionally, teachers and parents noted that "[we] want all the communities to really embrace the richness of Ravenswood students," emphasizing the importance of not discounting them "just because they may be less affluent," especially since "Ravenswood has been neglected for many decades now." Dr. Gloria Hernandez, the superintendent of Ravenswood City School District, praised the changes giving priority to the transfer requests of Ravenswood students as "a move in the right direction."

Bistro 222, Calamari with grapefruit, avocado and wasabi-yuzu aioli. Photo by Adam Finkle
Once it was my opinion that Americans favored ketchup and fry sauce over aioli because the latter had too many vowels. But we're bolder now. These days, if you're served a french fry, or a burger, chances are you're going see aioli nearby. The lemony-garlicky emulsion has always been standard with frites in France and Belgium; its origins are in Provence, where it is served with a dish of boiled everything, also called aioli. Variations used to be regional–Catalan, Maltese, Occitan. Now, restaurants featuring different world cuisines serve aioli–Mazza, Bruges Waffle & Frites, Spitz, for example. In fact, now that American chefs have got hold of the stuff, variations are limitless. Like, Lucky 13 serves srirachi aioli, Gracie's serves wasabi aioli, Bayou serves garlic chipotle aioli, Boulevard Bistro serves caper-dill aioli, Caffe Niche serves cilantro-lime aioli, Blue Lemon serves lemon-pesto aioli.
You get the picture. Once you've got your emulsion stable, anything goes.
Aioli can be whisked by hand or, if you're not a purist, made in the food processor. (Yes!)
Basic Aioli
Mince 3 garlic cloves in the food processor. Add 2 egg yolks and mix well. With the motor running, add 1/2 cup olive oil in a slow, steady stream. Stop the machine and add 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice. Then start the machine again and pour in the rest of the olive oil the same way as before, until the mixture is thickened. Cover and let stand at least 30 minutes before serving to let the garlic lose its "raw" taste.

text: The Rosita is a drink I first encountered in GQ Magazine, I think it was the December 1998 issue? It was in an article written by Terry Sullivan, where he was providing cautionary tale about drinking too much tequila. The Rosita didn't figure in his tale, but for whatever reason he chose to end the article with this delightful little drink. After trying it, I decided it was probably my favorite tequila cocktail, and one that rarely appeared to be listed in cocktail books of the day.

One of the questions all homeschooled high schoolers get is "what about the prom?"
Homeschoolers are known for their ingenuity and when it comes to a prom, they dance with the best of them.
This year's theme of the Heartland Prom is "Moonlight Masquerade." The colors are ebony and stardust silver with accents of midnight blue. Part of the dress code this year is to wear a mask to check-in until 7:00 PM when dinner starts.
This year's prom will be held at The Columbia Club in downtown Indianpolis on Monument Circle. The Columbia Club is known for its marble floors, chandeliers and stained glass. It was built as the private club of President Benjamin Harrison and has been visited by every Republican president.
The prom includes a formal dinner on the Crystal Terrace, one of the most sought-after dining rooms in Indianapolis.
For more information and to register for the prom, check out the Heartland Prom Website.

Today, March 26, the men took to the ice for the short program at the 2014 World Figure Skating Championships. It seems that some of the men decided to put up a fight, making it more difficult for Olympic gold medalist, Yuzuru Hanyu, to collect the world title.
Tatsuki Machida gave a brilliant performance, stealing the show away from Hanyu, executing each of his elements effortlessly. He truly had the strongest, cleanest skate of the event, landing a gorgeous quadruple toe-triple toe combination. He was rewarded nicely with a seasons best score of 98.21.
Coming in just two points behind Machida, Spain's Javier Fernandez, performed one of his best short programs all season as well. His quadruple salchow was absolutely beautiful and the strain of having gone through the Olympic Games did not show at all. Javier seems ready to fight for his spot on the podium.
Coming off an Olympic gold medal win, having the World Championships in his own home country and now trying to obtain his first-ever world title, might have just been a little too much for Yuzuru Hanyu. Hanyu fell on his opening quadruple toe-loop, which surprised everyone, including Hanyu. He quickly collected himself and performed the rest of his program error-free. Hanyu's short program is loaded with difficult, high scoring elements, which helped put him currently in third place. Though it's only third place, he is almost seven points away from the lead, which is a pretty large gap to close in the free skate.
Another surprise was Tomas Verner who genuinely seemed to enjoy himself and had a great skate, putting him currently in fourth.
American, Jeremy Abbott fell on his opening quadruple but regrouped and completed his program well, putting him currently in eighth place with Max Aaron trailing right behind him in ninth place.
Patrick Chan has dominated the world title for three years, but with his absence a new champion will be crowned on Friday, March 28 when the men take to the ice for the free skate.

Founded in 2010 by Master Baker and Pastry Chef Ziggy Cichowski and Executive Chef Patricia-Ann Donohue, Maple Street Patisserie just celebrated its fourth anniversary in April. Cichowski, who had apprenticed throughout Europe in countries like as Austria, Italy, Germany, France, and Poland, where he hails from, brought that European touch to New Orleans, this county's most European city, and it's been a hit ever since.
And now, just a month later, Maple Street Patisserie's newest concept is about to hit the scene, the Maple Street Patisserie et Bistro.
Located at 8300 Earhart Boulevard in New Orleans, the bistro will offer a full-service breakfast & lunch.
The official grand opening will be on Wednesday, May 28, and will offer complimentary sweets, special promotions, and giveaways in celebration. The ribbon cutting ceremony will begin at 11 A.M. including hors d'oeuvres and champagne. The first ten customers to arrive that morning will receive ten-percent off their purchases, bistro diners will have the option to receive a dessert on the house with their purchase of an entrée as well, and patrons can register to win prizes, including a dozen assorted pastries, a free lunch or a basket of fresh, and artisan breads.
Maple Street Patisserie specializes in amazing croissants, pastries, muffins, bread loafs and bagels, and also provides infused oils, jams, and vinegars, and more, to offer patrons the opportunity to infuse old-world Europe into the meals and dishes made at home. A well-loved business for the part four years, Maple Street Patisserie knows just what New Orleans residents love, and the new Maple Street Patisserie et Bistro is sure to impress just as well, if not even more.

I reluctantly shorted at $72 and was happy with one point but went long at $70. This stock is erratic now I hold the loser down $3 with no news. I believe in the story with a cold winter but do not understand the price action here. I really thought we were going to $75 soon and higher by earnings in Jan. Bad timing.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Not sure how long you have been following this stock before buying in, but let me tell ya, these swings happen all time. You know that 1/3 of stock is sold short. There are forces at work to make it abnormally volitile. If you want to be in this game, just ignore it and look at the big picture. There is a great business driving this stock with solid sales. So why would you short this stock for a one dollar gain and then all of a sudden think that it would reverse at exactly 70? I hope you're only playing with your lunch money.
Well put!
Maybe but still $4 off the high a few days ago. I guess I am down net a dollar. We will see where it is next week.
Sentiment: Buy

Impacts and Vulnerability
A vulnerability assessment is useful to examine how your conservation target is vulnerable to climate change and which locations are most vulnerable. In this way a VA can help in setting management priorities and in developing appropriate responses to help reduce vulnerability.
There are many ways of doing a VA and there are numerous tools and examples available to help you.
- Exposure is the degree to which a species, ecosystem or human community is exposed to climate changes (e.g. increasing temperature) and resulting physical changes (e.g. increases in storm surge or changes in precipitation).
- Sensitivity depends on characteristics of the system or species that make it more or less likely to be affected by expected climate impacts.
- Adaptive capacity is the ability of the systems or species to adjust to actual or expected impacts.

Decent DAP with wireless audio streaming capability?
I'm looking for a new player since my trusty companion for the last 7 or so years is starting to show strong signs of deterioration. This post here is kind of a last resort desperation move, as I've already spent hours upon hours on the internet researching to little avail, but maybe somebody on here will know something that I missed.
The conclusion I've come to so far is that the Sansa Clip+ (perhaps with a battery pack for long journeys) is the ideal choice for my primary needs.
However, what I would really love in an mp3 player is the ability to stream from my computer over wireless network, so that I can listen to arbitrary audio (re)streamed via my desktop computer while being mobile in my apartment, e.g. while cleaning. Turning my speakers up enough to fill out the entire apartment is a no go.
I would prefer a streaming mp3 player in order to be able to use the same headphones for everything, rather than having a separate set of wireless headphones (plus I prefer a smaller overall number of devices), and I also haven't been able to find a pure wireless streaming device with the parameters I'm looking for.
I *almost* bought a Cowon D3 (figuring I would be able to install a streaming app on an Android system) until I read the reviews of its battery life -- from the sounds of it, with the wireless interface constantly active, I would be lucky to get enough runtime out of a full charge to do the dishes.
So my question is, does anybody know of a DAP with the following parameters:
- Streams audio via WLAN (bluetooth doesn't have the required range) either as a built-in feature, or by way of an Android system letting me install an appropriate app.
- Flash memory and SDHC card slot, internal memory irrelevant (replacing a broken card is cheaper than replacing broken player, modularity ftw).
- Battery that can sustain prolonged use of wifi (charging overnight is fine as long as it lasts the day).
- No preference between buttons/touchscreen, although given the choice I will take whatever gives me more battery life.
- Small size device much preferred, but one way another I don't have room for it in my pockets and it will end up in a pouch on my belt next to the leatherman.
- Decent but not necessarily superb audio quality. I don't have super high quality headphones, and although there are exceptions, most of the time I'm happy with 160 kbits in my mp3s.
- Interfaces to a computer as an external storage medium so that it can be used as a USB stick for random files in a pinch.
- Budget irrelevant, if it does all of these things without compromise I will think about any price tag, even if I have to save up for it for a while.
- Android-based system allowing me to install my own apps is a definite plus, as I am a programmer and tinkerer and would get a thrill out of the ability to write my own features for my player.
- Needs good expected longevity (including battery charge cycles, unless replacement batteries are readily available). No price is cheap enough for a device that lasts no longer than 1 month past warranty.
Thanks a lot for reading this far, and I'm looking forward to any replies

I would recommend a used android phone, it will give you all the interfacing options one could want & it sounds relatively good. I had a Samsung Intercept with an extra battery so when listening to music I could just swap them on the go. (A little bulky, ~OK battery life but not fantastic, decent sound, relatively cheap).
Well a Samsung Galaxy player would fit the bill pretty well too, I'd have a look into those if I were you.
Players: Sony Walkman D-NE710, Zen Vision W (Repair in progress),Sansa Clip Zip, HTC Evo 4G 3D, Cowon X9

Thanks a lot for your replies!
I totally missed that one -- I guess I took it for a smartphone and moved on, assuming that smartphone audio quality would be cr*ptastic across the board (as per the thread on that topic somewhere on these boards).
With the Galaxy Player I do have some qualms about the size. 5" screen plus frame is not at all a small device, slim or not. I see there is a 3.6" version of it, but that only has about half the battery life But it otherwise has all the features I'm looking for to the tee.
I will definitely take this one into close consideration. I'll let you guys know about my experience with it if/when I get it. Thanks again for your input!
there is a 4.2 also I think. and 36 hours of battery is still longer than a lot of the payers on the market now. I had a Samsung Galaxy S I and now have an S III. Perfectly happy with the audio quality on both smartphones from the same line as this player..
Don't assume all smartphones have poor audio capabilities. Especially based on what some members here have said. There's a natural bias here that anything other than a dedicated DAP can't do well at audio. Nowadays most smartphones are at least decent playing both audio and video and quite a few are very good.
I'd check the real life testing being done at gsmarena for realistic evaluations of what they actually are putting out. Like DAPs were a few years ago some are better than others. That's improved the last generation or so. More people are using their phones instead of mp3 players and the makers don't want to lose sales due to poor media capabilities.

Hmmm. Interesting but peculiar -- Samsung's website has the exact same battery life ratings in terms of durations for the 5.0 and 4.2 versions, even though the 5.0 has a 2.5Ah LiPo and the 4.2 has a 1.5Ah LiIon...
The 4.2 version is also more difficult to acquire here in Germany. German Amazon has a "Galaxy S Wifi 4.2" which appears to be the same as the Player 4.2, but I'm not 100% certain, yet.
Edit: Come to think of it, no point making a fuss... for an insubstantial 0.8" difference in size I'll opt for the bigger battery. Also, thanks for the reality check on smartphone audio quality. I don't own one (obviously?) and don't have a whole lot of access to comparing audio quality for myself, so I took the relevant thread as my best source of information.

The future of the historic Fisher Building seems uncertain following the decision by the Cheney School District to surplus the property.
The Cheney School District board of directors voted unanimously to declare the district's Fisher Building as surplus property. It's the first step in the process of selling the 84-year-old former high school, appraised at $1,055,000.
District executive director for finance and operations Brian Aiken told the board the appraisal figure, prepared by Auble, Jolicoeur & Gentry, was in the "ball park" for what they expected. He also noted that the district does have the ability to ask potential buyers to meet certain conditions in any sale, such as retaining the historic nature of the buildi...

For this week's Throwback Thursday, Giant Step President/CEO Maurice Bernstein tells us about the three New Music Nights we hosted for New Music Seminar from July 21 to July 23 in 1993. Be sure to catch music from some of the great artists we presented after the jump! And as always, feel free to share with us your favorite memories from these nights and of these artists!
The first night of the New Music Seminar we presented under our Groove Academy name. We held it at the New Music Café, which later came to be known as the Canal Room.
Weldon Irvine was on the bill. He was a very well respected funk and soul artist from the 60s and 70s, was Nina Simone's musical director in the 1960s, and co-wrote "Young, Gifted, & Black." He also put out a number of very influential albums in the 1970s on RCA, which were heavily sampled and were very, very rare.
I met him when he came to the Giant Step club in 1991 at the Village Gate and introduced himself to me; I was totally blown away – I didn't even know he was still alive! At that point, he'd been putting out music under the name Master Wel with his own band. Also important to note is that he trained a lot of the great funk and soul musicians who came out of Jamaica, Queens in the 1970s, like Marcus Miller, Don Blackman. In fact, Don Blackman was in his band.
Such a pleasure to see all these amazing Giant Step clients, partners, and fam getting recognized on this year's list of Grammy nominees. Hats off to all!
The 56th Grammys will air on January 26. Visit the Grammy website for a full list of nominees.

Today marks the 12th anniversary of the attacks of September 11. I remember being in my high school Sophomore English class, having just finished a quiz, and hearing the Dean of Students announce the attack over the intercom. We were all shocked when we heard, and began discussing it, wondering who could have done it and why. My within a couple hours I had study hall, and the library was more packed than ever, with almost everyone watching the television with the news reports about what was going on. It was a scary situation that changed millions of lives in a matter of a couple hours.
Another thing I remember about that time was the unity and pride that we, as Americans, had in our country and its values. I remember watching President Bush on TV, standing near Ground Zero, giving the exact speech that was needed at that time. Almost every American, regardless of age, gender, or political perspective, was proud of that speech. We also were proud of what we stood for as a country, and were not going to let it be taken away by an act of terror such as that. Instead, we paused for a short time to recover from the event and acknowledge and honor the lives that were lost, and we pressed on as a strong nation. We became more united than we had been in a while, and have been since.
As we remember the tragedy that we experienced on September 11, 2001, and honor the lives that were lost, let us also remember the positive response we gave in our unity and national pride. The response cannot be just for a couple weeks or months. It needs to be a normal characteristic of this country. That is one of the best ways we can remember 9/11 and honor those who were impacted by the events that day.

November 2, 2000
With the regular-season opener just two weeks away, Southern Illinois University's basketball Salukis will make their first appearance of the 2000-2001 campaign Saturday evening (Nov. 4) in a 5:30 p.m. exhibition game against the Denmark Bears in the SIU Arena.
Coach Bruce Weber's third SIU squad includes just two starters returning from last year's 20-13 team which advanced to the second round of the National Invitation Tournament.
However, in addition to the two holdover starters -- Kent Williams and Brandon Mells -- the Salukis have seven other lettermen returning including seniors Abel Schrader and Joshua Cross, both of whom have logged more than 1200 minutes of playing time in three previous seasons at SIU.
Also available is red-shirted freshman Sylvester Willis, incoming freshmen Darren Brooks and Josh Warren along with junior college transfers Marcus Belcher (Moberly Area C.C.), Tyrese Buie (Highland C.C.) and Toshay Harvey (Kilgore C.C.).
"Practice has been going fairly well overall," Weber said, "but there are some rough spots as expected at this time of the season. We're just hoping our players have an opportunity to get a feel for one another in this first game and then we'll attach a little more importance to the next exhibition game."
Weber is expecting to open with Williams, last year's leading scorer with a 13.3 ppg average, along with veterans Schrader and Cross and sophomore Dearman. His fifth starter will probably be one of a group of four including Willis, Harvey, Buie and Belcher.
"We'll make every effort to play everyone," Weber said, "although we haven't made final decisions regarding a couple of players as to whether they may be red-shirted this season. As long as there's a possibility of them sitting out this year, we won't be using them in the exhibition games."
In addition to Williams' team-leading 440-point performance last season, seven other Saluki players scored more than 200 points, a first time ever at SIU. Four of the seven -- Schrader (264), Mells (241), Cross (219) and Dearman (204) -- are among the returnees.
"I don't believe there's any question about the fact that we'll have more quality depth this season," Weber said. "I like that and the overall athleticism that the group has shown, but our size is not particularly impressive and someone will have to step up to provide on-the-court leadership that we lost with the departure of seniors Chris Thunell, Ricky Collum and Derrick Tilmon."
The other major concern of Weber is SIU's schedule itself. The Salukis' first three games are against teams that defeated SIU last season. Following those outings with Long Beach State, Saint Louis University and Ball State, the Salukis will run up against Indiana's Hoosiers in their first road game of the season. They also will meet Southeast Missouri State, Murray State, Mississippi and possibly USC before opening Missouri Valley Conference play Jan. 2.
Following this week's opener, SIU will host an AAU team Friday (Nov. 10).

Mountain Regional Water requested rate changes in 2014 and 2015 to keep up with escalating costs, said officials of the special service district at the Wednesday, Aug. 6 work session for Summit County Council.
Mountain Regional Water serves more than 5,000 customers in the area surrounding Park City.
The district requested a rate increase of 3.75 percent effective this month, and a second increase of another 3.75 percent effective in August, 2015. The last rate increases came in August, 2012, said Mountain Regional Chief Financial Officer Scott Green.
The need for the rate increases are due to Mountain Regional's three largest budget items, which are projected to increase by an amount of an average of $305,036 each year, Green said. The three budget items necessitating the rate increase are:
- Rocky Mountain Power costs
- Weber Basin lease fees
- Debt service (bond payments and required debt coverage for existing debt)
Mountain Regional Water currently has several different rates, but in the new plan the basic residential flat base rate would be $60 per month. (Prior to the rate increases, the monthly rate ranged from $56 to $73.25.) After the flat base rate, usage would be charged according to how many gallons were used. This way, residents would only pay for the amount of water they used, Green said.
The district also recommended an average fee increase of 20 percent.
If approved by the Summit County Council, the proposed changes would be reflected in September's bill, Green said.
Mountain Regional's proposed rate increases will receive a public hearing on Aug. 20.
Rate increases will probably need to be implemented through 2019, Green said, but the Council was in agreement that they would likely approve only a two-year rate increase at this juncture.
Mountain Regional, according to its website, serves the following developments: Promontory, Silver Gate; Old Ranch Road; Atkinson, Park Ridge, Silver Summit; Silver Creek Commerce Center; Newpark, Spring Creek, Woodside Homes (Plat I); Glenwild, Red Hawk, The Preserve, Stagecoach Estates; Silver Springs, Quarry Mountain, Willow Creek, Sun Peak; The Colony; Summit Park, Timberline.

Hero is the new name given to a dog that was abandoned and found near a warehouse in Brooklyn and rescued on Memorial Day. Second Chance Rescue shared details and a link to help Hero.
Needing grooming so desperately that the breed could not be determined at the time of the rescue, Hero has changed in appearance according to information that was shared online.
Hero was having difficultly walking due to an injured leg and the mats of hair, which was filled with urine and feces.
No one knows at this time what happened to the owner of Hero, however, there is a fund raiser now to help Hero continue to receive the needed medical attention. Please view more details to learn what you can do to help Hero.
A visit to a veterinarian let rescuers know that Hero had not had any attention to grooming for years. Hero initially had to be place on IV fluids before other services could be performed. After grooming and medical attention, it was learned that Hero has a broken leg.
With 4 pounds of hair being removed from Hero, readers may understand the seriousness of the condition of this dog. For some reason the dog was ignored by someone or many people over a period of years. Hero is in good hands at this time and will continue to receive attention for sores, ear infections and the broken leg that may require an amputation.
While some readers may shake their head after learning about Hero, wondering who would do this to any animal, others will spring into action and see what they can do to help. More information about Second Chance rescue will be found here.
