Elissa Rodger is heading back to Ballarat, her hometown to sing some jazz, Sunday June 23rd 2019. Performing at Ballarat's newest artful venue the Stables event space at the Pub with Two Names or PWTN. Elissa will be joined by Matt Hoyne (guitar), Scott Meley (bass) and Aaron Mc Cullough (drums).
JAZZ Series Q Elissa we believe you were raised on Jazz in Ballarat. What music and musicians did this include?
Elissa Rodger A I was raised on all kinds of music during my childhood, but especially early vocal jazz. My mother was a big Doris Day fan and that had a big impact on me. My parents always took our family to live shows, musicals, cabaret shows, ballet pretty much everything Ballarat had to offer and all of that had a massive impact on me!
JAZZ Series Q Do you have a fond memory of this time?
Elissa Rodger A I have two that jump out to me. I remember one Sunday my parents took the family out for lunch at a cafe that had free live jazz, I believe I was about 9 or 10. This was probably the first time I seen a live jazz quartet and I distinctly remember thinking that they were the coolest people I've ever seen in my life! I wish I knew the name of the restaurant or the band so I could let them know their impact on me!
The second is when we went to see 'Oliver' that was showing in Her Maj, probably around the same time as the previous story and I instantly fell in love with the magic of the theatre. The orchestra warming up and then when the curtain rises and you see the set for the first time, It was so amazing to me as a child!
JAZZ Series Q Has Ballarat played a big part in your musical journey?
Elissa Rodger A I know for certain that I wouldn't be where I am today with all the opportunities Ballarat provided me with. There are so many performance outlets in Ballarat and an endless amount of people who are going out of their way to help you grow and learn and offer your performance opportunities. I don't think you would get that in a big city.
JAZZ Series Q What's your favourite thing about Ballarat?
Elissa Rodger A Although Ballarat has a pretty steadily growing population it still has a huge sense of community. Everyone I've know worked with in Ballarat have so much time and energy to give one another. There's a sense that if one person succeeds then everyone succeeds! No tall poppy syndrome!
JAZZ Series Q Tell us about your fellow musicians. How long have you been performing together?
Elissa Rodger A I have been incredibly lucky to play with the guys in my band. Matt Hoyne (Guitar) has been there from almost day one of the band forming and he really is my right-hand-man to bounce ideas off and I really respect his opinion and trust his judgement. Scott Mealy (Bass) is possibly the nicest, warmest person you will ever meet and it really shows in his playing. And Aaron McCullough (Drums) is a total powerhouse, he (literally) holds the tunes together. I'm constantly pinching myself that these world-class musicians want to play with me!
JAZZ Series Q What's the best thing about live jazz performances?
Elissa Rodger A Jazz is different to a lot of live performances. It is unexpected and spontaneous. It gives you this incredible sense of connection with the players, because you're experiencing this one-off improvisation or interpretation which will never be repeated again. Also I love how really good jazz players can communicate with each other with just their instruments.
JAZZ Series Q What live music performance made a lasting impression on you and why?
Elissa Rodger A Oh boy. So many! one in particular was seeing Kurt Elling at the Wangaratta jazz festival when I was in year 11. I had just discovered his music about 6 months prior and was obsessed! I remember just crying through 90% of the gig because it was so good! I went full fan-girl!
JAZZ Series Q Tell us more about what's in store for the JAZZ series performance at the PWTN (The Pub With Two Names Sunday 23rd June.
Elissa Rodger A It is going to be a really fun gig! The genre 'Jazz' can be extremely broad and a little overwhelming, but ours is very accessible. There will be songs that you recognises and modern interpretations of some fantastic classic tunes. It's a good gig for your aunt or friend who is on the fence about jazz. We don't take ourselves too seriously and we like having fun when playing!
Spend an afternoon in the heart of Ballarat, The PWTN is located opposite the Ballarat Civic Hall in Mair Street Ballarat. Tickets available from Ballarat Tickets.

As posted on LinuxQuestions.org
I am able to boot with kernel 2.6.9-1.681_FC3 but not any newer versions. If I
add the kernel parameter "ide=nodma" and add USE_DMA=0 to
/etc/sysconfig/harddisks , the system will boot but my buffered reads off my
disk drop to some silly low number of about 3MB/s.
Is this bug related?
As per the linuxquestions.org link, I posted there that I had this bug hit me on
2.6.10-1.8_FC2 on a E7205 chipset with DupliDisk1 hardware RAID1. Turning off
all DMA allowed me to boot OK. The DD1 has always had problems with DMA on most
chipsets, but the FC1 kernels would boot and either work with DMA or disable it
for me.
I am also seeing this bug.
FC3 kernel 2.6.9-1.667 will boot.
FC3 kernel 2.6.10-1.770_14.rhfc3.at and FC3 kernel 2.6.11-1.14_FC3 lock after

Using 2.6.9 kernel I will see the following message, but the system will operate:

spin_lock(drivers/ide/ide.c:c03dc408) already locked by
drivers/ide/ide-io.c/169. (Not tainted)
System specs:
ASUS Pundit-R system
250GB Maxtor SATA HDD (model 7y250m0)
Glad to provide more info if needed.
Same here as the original poster, but with 2.6.10-1.770. Silicon Image PCI0680
card. Will try now with 2.6.11-1.14
No joy with that kernel, either. Original FC3 2.6.9-1.667 kernel boots fine.
Removing my acpi=force on the 2.6.10-1.770 has no effect either. The system
remains unusable.
I've seen a couple of posts and patches floating around, but am not eager to try
them as they're not in bugzilla :-)
Given that I really *need* the UATA performance, disabling IDE DMA is just not a
workable solution. Reverting to 2.6.9-1.667 kernel until further notice.
[CentOS] Kernel Panic - not syncing: drivers -
"Enabling 32 bit mode for the drives in the BIOS cured this problem."
Hmm, next opportunity I have, I'll check my BIOS. Not too sure whether I have
the luxury or not. Info posted here so others may benefit.
FWIW - moving to kernel 2.6.12-rc3 has resolved the kernel panic issues
However, DMA remains off to the DVD drive, resulting in poor DVD performance.
enabling DMA on the DVD and accessing results in errors in message log:

dma appears to be on for /dev/hdc (main HDD)
I just tried fiddling with /etc/sysconfig/harddisks[aef] with DMA enabled in the
kernel but with DMA turned off via these files. Zero effect, still collapses.
Interestingly enough, forcing DMA and other nice stuff in
/etc/sysconfig/harddisks causes the errors as seen in comment #19 with a 2.6.9
kernel, but no panic either.
(Following settings are through /etc/sysconfig/harddiskhd[aef]
/dev/hda (onboard controller)

/dev/hd[ef] SIL0680
EXTRA_PARAMS="-u1 -k1"
ooh, hda just threw CRC errors. turning off DMA there too :(
Argh, too many kernel/BIOS/system parameters to fully test out. opefully someone
from redhat will get around to posting info here.
goes the kernel at http://people.redhat.com/davej/kernels/Fedora/FC3 fix this ?
Ugh, without DMA that took forever to install ;-). At least this is a good
reminder to me to place your repo in my yum configs.
This message is to let you know I'm taking a look at it. I grabbed the i686
uniprocessor kernel. I'll do some fiddling throughout the day as time allows,
and get back to you as soon as I have a reasonable response.
er, in a word. No. Same error as before if booting with DMA.
Well, almost the same. Now it tells me:
Kernel panic - not syncing: drivers/ide/pci/piix.c:231:

Might there be any point in trying out the 2.6.11-1.21 kernel you put up on the
*** Bug 153280 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
two possibilities..
http://people.redhat.com/davej/kernels/Fedora/FC3/ hsa the next 2.6.11 based
test kernel
http://people.redhat.com/davej/kernels/test/ has a more experimental backport of
the FC4 kernel to FC3. (Though this has had little to no testing at all yet, so
be careful).
Both of these have numerous IDE layer fixes, so I'm interested to hear feedback
how they behave.
I've just tried the 2.6.11-1.27_FC3 kernel, boots fine.
I want to leave it run for 24 hours to rough-check stability, then I'll give
your test kernels a spin around the park.
both the .27 and .33 kernels seem to get stuck in a infinite loop panic after an
unknown period of time.
I had to reinstall both FC3 and FC4t3 (different discs - same computer)
Before the reinstall, both would boot with the latest kernels,
Now, neither will boot with the 2.6.11 kernel.
The FC3 install will boot with the "original" kernel provided with the iso set.
The FC4 cannot even be installed because the kernel panics during the setup.
Any suggestions?
I just saw this while installing FC4 to an old PC. Started out as a panic
whenever I tried to access /dev/hdc (didn't save the syslog, sorry). Rearranged
drives/cables and got this:
Kernel panic - not syncing: drivers/ide/pci/piix.c:232: spin_lock (drivers/
ide/ide.c:c03de668) already locked by drivers/ide/ide-iops.c/1235. (Not tainted)
Setup that caused errors on /dev/hdc:

Master device: 8GB boot drive (Quantum Fireball)
Slave device: 200GB storage drive (Seagate Barracuda 7200-7)
Secondary controller: (40-conductor cable)

I replaced the 40-wire IDE ribbon cable, and the problem went away. If you're

Still happens with 2.6.12-1.1387_FC4 (on an old Asus P2L97 mainboard with
Intel 440LX chipset)
An update has been released for Fedora Core 3 (kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3) which
may contain a fix for your problem. Please update to this new kernel, and
report whether or not it fixes your problem.
If you have updated to Fedora Core 4 since this bug was opened, and the problem
still occurs with the latest updates for that release, please change the version
field of this bug to 'fc4'.
Thank you.
After updating to 2.6.12-1.1372_FC3 the problem has been fixed on my machine.
Thank You!
Hi Dave,
Saw the release notes, and installed the kernel earlier today. I did not update
#30, as I experienced similar to #31. I'll try and get a 7 day uptime before
upadting, but at least it's booting without warnings. If I forget to update
this, assume all is fine ;-)
After updating to Kernel 2.6.12-1.1372_FC3 it now boots.
The only error I am seeing at boot is just after:
Red Hat Nash version 4.1.18 starting
target0:0:3: Domain Validation detected failure, dropping back
target0:0:3: Domain Validation detected failure, dropping back
target0:0:3: Domain Validation detected failure, dropping back
This latest 2.6.12-1.1372_FC3 appears to solve the problem for us. I can boot
it with or without ide=nodma and it boots. No panic/spinlock like before. Bug
appears to be fixed. (DMA still doesn't work with our DupliDisk1, but that's
another story and not necessarily (in fact almost definitely not) linux's fault.)
This broke our default config, whatever you did in the last couple of days
within the FC3 train, it boots fine on the normal kernel that comes with the
ISOs but when we run yum update and we grab the new kernel it gives us a
kernel panic when it boots... we have about 60 or so servers running in a
cluster on this config :D
You sure you aren't getting hit with bug #163437? That's separate from this
bug. Make some noise on the now very popular 163437.
Been a few days. I've driven the system pretty hard. I'm happy. As far as I'm
concerned, this is closed for me.
After 2.6.9_981, 2.6.12-1.1372_FC3 is the first kernel that seems to be working
properly on my PC. My hardware is PIII and 810e chipset motherboard. I could not
install FC4 on this hardware because of kernel panic during installation due to
syncing problem. How can i modify FC4 ISO to include FC4 version of this kernel
so as to install FC4 on this hardware.
(In reply to comment #43)

It is 2.6.9-1.681_FC3, not 2.6.9_981
This issue should be fixed in the latest errata, please open new bugs for any of
the other issues (or add comments to existing bugs).

HOLLYWOOD (CBSLA.com) — Unlike one of his signature cameo appearances, Marvel Comics legend Stan Lee was the star of the show Tuesday when he sank his hands and feet into cement at the TCL Chinese Theatre.
Lee, 94, was just honored last week as a Disney Legend for his role in the creation of 90 percent of Marvel Comics' iconic characters, including Spider-Man, The Incredible Hulk, X-Men, and Iron Man.
Filmmaker Kevin Smith and comic-book artist Todd McFarlane were among those on hand at the Chinese Theatre and sang the praises of Lee, who was characteristically humble.
"If I'd have known I was so good I would have asked for a raise," Lee said, joking that he is apparently "far too good to be wasting time with ordinary people."
"But I seem to be spending my life with ordinary people who are the best people in the world," he said. "I've been the luckiest man in the world because I've had friends. And to have the right friends is everything. People
you can depend on. People who tell you the truth if you ask for something. I've been lucky in that area."
Born Stanley Martin Lieber on Dec. 28, 1922, in New York City, Lee began his career in 1939 as an assistant at Timely Comics with such duties as getting lunch, filling inkwells and proofreading.
His first published work was as a text filler for Captain America No. 3, published in 1941. He wrote under the name Stan Lee, which would later become his legal name, writing in his autobiography that he intended to save his given name for more literary work.
Lee was named interim editor of Timely Comics in 1941, and later became the editor-in-chief for what would evolve into Marvel Comics in 1961 until 1972 when he became publisher.
More than 2 million of Lee's comic books have been published in 75 nations and in 25 languages. His characters have been featured in 24 animated television series and several live-action blockbuster films.
Lee's wife of nearly 70 years, Joan, died July 6 at age 93.

(CIDRAP Business Source Osterholm Briefing) – The nature of our response to the 2009 H1N1 pandemic has moved from urgent to watch-and-see. This is the ideal time to take stock of what happened during the last 14 months and to make decisions about how we prepare for and deal with what comes next. We know that pandemics are a fact of life; another will emerge at some point unknown. We simply don't have the ability yet to banish infectious disease threats from our list of risks to business. But we do have the ability to examine our response to the pandemic in an as unbiased way as possible—if we so choose.
Fortunately, reports of lessons learned from the H1N1 experience in a wide range of areas are coming out almost daily. We have a wealth of data to consider. Unfortunately, we face an uphill battle trying to synthesize so much data into pearls that we can use to make sound decisions. If you've invested the time to do a thorough analysis of your pandemic response, you certainly want to be confident of your findings. Just as programs are implemented to improve the quality and lessen the variability of your organization's products and services, the goal of this column is to provide you with the tools to identify and counteract cognitive and decision-making biases so you can improve the quality of your most important preparedness decisions.
I'd like to recommend to you a simple tool that will help ensure you can do that. It's a framework for looking at biases that can undermine our best efforts to draw optimal conclusions. In this column, I will:
- Describe five biases that you are likely to encounter as you evaluate and plan for the future
- Offer an illustration of each bias
- Give a brief "reality check"
- Provide simple, practical ways to steer clear of these biases
1. Hindsight bias: 'Predicting' the past
Hindsight bias creeps in when we begin to believe that we "knew it would happen that way all along." In addition to potentially annoying colleagues, this bias can cause more substantive problems if we rely on these supposed predictive abilities. Coupled with the biases describe below, this bias may lead to an unwarranted affirmation of the quality of decisions based on your perceived predictive abilities.
Example: "From the start I just knew this whole novel H1N1 pandemic threat was overblown."
Reality check: If your intuition told you last May that this pandemic was not going to be as bad as that of 1918, you were certainly right. However, correctly guessing a coin flip once does not mean the next time you will be correct. The lesson here is to be frank with yourself now so that you don't deceive yourself in the future. Business leaders every day seek to make the best decisions possible based on the best available information. Make sure you don't check this practice at the door when making decisions related to infectious diseases. Be honest with yourself and your colleagues about what is known and what is not. Allowing hindsight bias to convert speculations and hunches into "facts" is surely no recipe for positioning your organization for a favorable outcome.
What you can do to keep this bias in check:
Don't be scared to not know the answer. When an answer does not exist, don't create to make yourself and others feel better. Instead, describe the known and relevant facts and the spectrum of likely scenarios. As Mark Twain once observed, and Dr. Osterholm recently highlighted in a recent column, "It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so."
2. Confirmation bias: Confirming you're right (whether or not you are)
When we suffer from confirmation bias, we seek to find information that confirms our preexisting perceptions. If we are not finding what we are looking for, we may try to interpret the new information in such a way to support our original perception.
Example: On a recent Sunday afternoon I was approached at a stoplight in downtown Minneapolis by a woman trying to find the city's farmers' market. She asked if the direction she was headed was correct. It was not. I shared with her that there was another farmers' market in the general direction she was heading, but that it was not open on Sunday, and the one she was looking for was in a different location. She promptly returned to her companions and confirmed that, yes, they were, in fact, heading in the right direction.
Reality check: Even if your initial perception is "correct," by failing to seek and truly hear alternative views, the result is a less nuanced understanding of your own position, other's positions, and how your position may be improved with minor adjustments and modifications. While headed to a farmer's market on a Sunday afternoon that isn't open on a Sunday is sheer folly, the consequences of such a bias are surely not dire. Unfortunately, this type of bias does not naturally recede when the stakes rise.
What you can do to keep this bias in check:
- Focus on listening after you ask a question to test the validity of your view. Don't ask leading questions, such as: "Stockpiling antivirals is really the only way to go, isn't it?"
- Verbalize the answer you receive to confirm that you are hearing what was said, which may not necessarily be what you wanted to hear.
- Seek out information that may be contrary to your current view, and then evaluate the merits of that information.
3. Common-information bias: Focusing on what we all know, instead of what we all need to know
When we meet someone new, our first instinct is to identify and discuss common information, experiences, and backgrounds. While this strategy is an effective way to "break the ice" and build working relationships, it can lead to problems if it shapes decisions of consequence. Groups tend to focus on common information that members are already aware of instead of probing for the unique pieces of information each person can contribute.
Example: When assessing the potential impact of the H1N1 pandemic on organizations, meetings that focused on news reports everyone had read served as a common source of information. But an overemphasis on this information to the exclusion of data known only to certain group members means missed opportunities to inform the discussion of what course of action to take. For example, did you get the full perspective that an employee whose spouse worked in the intensive care unit may have had to offer?
Reality check: When the answer is apparent, the need for discussion is low; however, when tough decisions combine with uncertain direction, make sure you truly are basing your decision on the best information available. And that may not necessarily be the most commonly known data.
What you can do to keep this bias in check:
- When meeting with a group, define the issue as a problem that needs to be solved rather than courses of action that need to be judged. Changing the tenor of the group in this way can elicit new important facts and alternatives that may be withheld by colleagues who think they're expected to make quick judgments.
- Request that all relevant options are discussed before the decision is made or a vote is cast.
- Actively search out unique information by asking individuals in the group to "wear a different hat" (ie, role) than the one to which they're typically accustomed. During the conversation, for example, assign such roles as naysayer, "just the facts," "only sees the positive," and "thinks outside the box." Rotate the "hats" each person wears until you surface as much information or as many new perspectives as you can.
- Encourage people to not make assumptions about what other group members already know. It's impossible for everyone at the table to know what knowledge is, in fact, common. If individuals self-censor because they think they'll be redundant, invariably they will withhold pertinent and unique information as well. If information shared is common knowledge in the group, simply note it and move on.
4. Omission bias: 'Darned if you do, less darned if you don't'
In the face of ambiguous threats, doing nothing or taking a minor action that it is unlikely to have a material impact is "safer" than taking bold action because, all things being equal, we tend to judge action resulting in an adverse outcome harsher than inaction that results in an adverse outcome. This is where leadership comes in. True leaders are able to put aside the greater personal risk associated with action when it is the best course.
Example: Changing your human resource policy related to absenteeism is no small task. For professionals 2 years ago, avoiding the issue was a safer choice than taking action to modify the policy for an influenza pandemic that might not materialize on their watch.
Reality check: Every day each one of us must face the degree of personal risk we are willing to absorb in the face of decisions between action and inaction. Practically speaking, the increased risk of being judged harshly may not be worth the effort or pushback of championing warranted action. In the case of threats to mission-critical activities and the health and welfare of a workforce, however, we must be honest with ourselves about our true rationale. Is an investment in pandemic preparedness a poor idea because it is a waste of money, or is it a poor idea because if the money is viewed as wasted we will be at greater risk of criticism than if we chose not to recommend any investment and something happened?
What you can do to keep this bias in check:
- Question your motives. Are you not taking action because that's the prudent thing to do or because inaction means less risk of critical judgment and its associated consequences?If you decide that the personal risk associated with inaction outweighs action that you perceive to be better for the organization, at least be intellectually honest with yourself about your true rationale.
- When evaluating people who have made decisions to take action, consider the risk of inaction and whether it would have been a better choice given the best information available at the time of the decision. If it was not, be careful to not judge based on outcome alone. Of course, results matter, but in the face of uncertainty, even the decisions of the best and the brightest can result in a suboptimal outcome.
5. Escalation of commitment: Justifying suboptimal decisions by amplifying them
Continued investments in a particular course of action can empirically serve as evidence of the sound nature of the original decision to take those actions. Escalation of commitment occurs when we continue to make investments to justify decisions that are leading to undesirable outcomes.
Example: Some organizations chose to implement screening measures (eg, scanners that measure body temperature) to keep sick people out of the workplace. But say, for example, evidence indicated that this measure was not reducing the incidence of influenza-like illness (ILI) in the workplace, and the organization opted to double the amount of screening stations anyway. The evaluation should ask whether doubling screening capacity was likely to make a dent in the incidence of ILIs, or whether evidence was ignored in favor of justifying the validity of the original decision.
Reality check: Some courses of action cannot be easily corrected, such as significant investments in fixed assets that prove unproductive. Sometimes, in these cases, additional investments must be made to make a bad situation less worse. If that happens it is critical to acknowledge the poor outcome of the original decision and to make clear that the additional investments do not further the original faulty strategy, but are necessary to correct for its poor outcome. If these additional investments are viewed as an escalation of commitment to an unsound strategy, you and your organization will lose credibility and buy-in.
What you can do to keep this bias in check:
- Seek counsel from an uninvolved person you can trust. Ask this person to evaluate the decision so you can compare your thinking with that of someone who is not burdened with any commitment to the initial decision. Ask how he or she approached the evaluation and consider whether any biases factored into your decision-making process.
- Foster an environment of iterative improvement, not one of make-or-break decisions. As a leader within your organization, focus on how improvements can be made from lessons learned from the 2009 pandemic. Allow your colleagues the freedom to make course corrections instead of burying their missteps through an escalation of commitment to a futile cause. When things go awry, emphasize how to improve the process instead of who was to blame.
Bottom line for organizations
As you continue to seek the best courses of action in preparing your organization for infectious disease threats, be aware of these cognitive and decision-making biases. Consider how you can minimize their impact in your own problem solving and how these biases influence the thinking of others in your organization. We know one thing for sure: Ignoring these tendencies will not make them go away.

15 Jul How To Write The Perfect "About Us Page" And Convert Website Visitors Into Clients
Your 'About Us' page (or similar variation) is one of the most important on your website and is likely to become one of the most visited. It plays a large part in the first impression that potential customers form about your business. This page is where they get to know your business, team, important information and business philosophies.
Often your 'About Us' page can be one of the hardest pages to write as you need to achieve the correct balance between selling your business and services, and allowing potential clients to walk away with a well-rounded first opinion of your business. It's about striking a happy medium between selling your product/services (without boasting!) and presenting people with the facts. The 'About Us' page is the first opportunity to create trust with potential clients and we all know that building trust can lead to higher interaction rates and more new leads!
Of course, different people are looking for different types of information and will form an opinion based on their own unique set of criteria. But although they may be seeking different things, the one thing that unites them is that they are all 'USERS'. Remember them? The people you are trying to convert into new clients? So put aside what you'd like to see on your website, and focus on what 'USERS' would like to see!
Our advice is to get back to the basics about your company – or as we like to call it, the who, what, when, where, and why.
- Who: look at your team members, who are they? Include images on your 'About Us' page, because faces build rapport! Photos make people feel warm, and businesses less cold. They also build your real-world credibility.
- What: what services do you offer? So often, this is overlooked. These days, people are so pressed for time that they have memories like goldfish. If you fail to mention and re-enforce what exactly you do, the chances are they will forget.
- When: when did your business open? Look at your company's history. If you can present visitors with relevant milestones, it often creates an easy way to present data chronologically.
- Where: where is your business located? Again, often forgotten (remember the goldfish?), this is one of the key deciding factors for people to engage with a business. How long will it take for them to get to you, and is there convenient access to parking etc.
- Why: why should potential clients engage with your business and services? This can often be reinforced through testimonials or positive reviews. Be clear on your points of difference, expertise and experience.
Be easy to understand and relatable, and don't forget you are appealing to HUMANS, not robots! Finally, don't forget your 'About Us' page needs to be easy to find from your homepage or any other pages.

Dirty Harry / Beating the Banking System
Harry Callahan is a tough, streetwise San Francisco cop whom they call Dirty Harry. In this action classic, you'll see why – and also why Clint Eastwood's reputation as a premier film star and moviemaker is secure. A rooftop sniper (Andy Robinson) calling himself Scorpio, has killed twice and holds the city ransom with the threat of killing again. Harry will nail him , one way or the other, no matter what the "system" prescribes. Filming on location, director Don Siegel made the City by the Bay a vital part of Dirty Harry, a practice continued in its four sequels. Forty three years after its arrival the original remains one of the most gripping police thrillers ever made.
1971 – Certificate: 18 – American Film
7.5 out of 10
This week I've inadvertently become a champion and role-model for the downtrodden masses, as I successfully concluded my fight for compensation as a result of the evil and corrupt banking industry misselling me Payment Protection Insurance for a credit card. As we all know now, every single person who's ever worked for a bank is a child of the Devil. From the CEO to the office cleaners. They exist for one purpose only and that's to rip everyone else off. Well they made one BIG mistake trying to take me on. After many letters, the MBNA has finally capitulated, agreed it made a 'mistake' and has paid me back, with interest. I can't decide what to spend it on first, a yacht, a jet or an Aston Martin or two. I guess a few lines of coke and some high-class 'escorts' wouldn't go amiss either. I can finally get rid of all my pathetic, stupid, so-called friends and buy myself a whole lot of new ones that better fit my improved social status. The rich and the powerful will invite me to everything. A-list celebrities will be at my beck and call. My membership of the Bilderberg Group is assured. I'm going to start voting Conservative at once, not that I really need to worry about politics now, as I could easily buy myself a whole country if I wanted to. So I guess you probably want to know how much I got? Well, the cheque I was sent is made out to me for 20p…
"Dirty Harry" is a film about a naughty policeman, which was inspired by the Lurkers' 1999 non-hit "Go Ahead Punk". (I've got this on a very limited edition 7" single in grey vinyl, number 34 of the 125 that were made.) Its main character Harry Callahan was based on James Callaghan, who was British Prime Minister from 1976-1979 and thus oversaw the invention of punk rock by the downtrodden masses that he created during the Winter of Discontent. "Winter of Discontent" was also a great track from Political Asylum's Winter EP, a copy of which I was sold by the band on the Fulham Palace Road, on my way to a Lurkers gig at the Fulham Greyhound. (The latter was tragically renamed/relaunched earlier this year as an American theme pub called the Southern Belle. WTF?) Its historical significance aside, this film gave us the original police officer who doesn't play by the rules but gets away with, who still haunts TV and films to this day. Scorpio is also a great psycho without a thread of remorse whatsoever and stands up well to the more modern versions that have followed in his wake. I doubt there's anything else I could possibly say about this film that hasn't already been said 100 times before, so won't. But for what's now quite an old film, it still looks good. Essential viewing.
This movie is pretty light on music, which is just as well given it was made in the early 70s.
The trailer's very long and seems to be desperate to portray Harry as more of a victim of circumstance than a police officer who really ought to be sacked for gross misconduct at the very least. He could easily be Martin Riggs' father.
Recommended for police officers, psychos and school bus drivers.
No cats, chainsaws or decapitations.
Top badass moment? Not once but twice, Harry gives us one of his two, world-famous quotes, here and here. What other character would have the audacity to do that? (Arnie's done it but not twice in the same film I don't think.) That's like a DJ playing the same song back-to-back, it just doesn't happen; (unless you're John Peel and you're playing the Undertones, but that's okay). He must have been feeling lucky, punk.

Local Teen Charged as Adult, Pleads Guilty to Church Arson
DANVILLE, VIRGINIA — A now 18-year-old resident of Henry County, Virginia, pleaded guilty this morning in the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia in Danville to charges related to a fire deliberately set at a church.
Jean-Claude Bridges, 18, of Henry County, Va., waived his right to be indicted and pleaded guilty to a one count Information charging him with destroying a religious property by fire. Prior to pleading guilty this morning, the Court granted the government's motion to transfer Bridges to adult status for criminal prosecution. The defendant was 17-years-old when the criminal conduct occurred.
"Mr. Bridges' racial bias led him to commit the dangerous crime of arson," United States Attorney Timothy J. Heaphy said today. "When he set fire to the New Holy Deliverance Outreach Ministry, he endangered neighbors and first responders. This act of prejudice offended the entire community. This office will protect the civil rights of everyone and vigorously prosecute crimes like that committed by Mr. Bridges. Racism has no place in Axton or anywhere else in the Western District of Virginia."
According to filings in the case, on May 20, 2012 at approximately 1:20 a.m., Bridges, and another juvenile, intentionally set fire to New Holy Deliverance Outreach Ministry, a church with a predominantly African American congregation, located in Axton, Va. In pleading guilty to this offense, Bridges admitted that he burned down New Holy Deliverance Outreach Ministry because of the race, color, and ethnic characteristics of its congregants.
At sentencing, the defendant faces a maximum possible penalty of up to 20 years in prison and/or a fine of up to $250,000.
The investigation of the case was conducted by the Henry County Department of Public Safety, the Henry County Sheriff's Office and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Assistant United States Attorney Thomas Cullen, assisted by Trial Attorney Christopher Lomax of the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division, will prosecute the case for the United States.

Manchester United veteran Wayne Rooney could have played his LAST competitive match at Old Trafford
Star will start tomorrow's final Prem game against Crystal Palace on the bench as boss Jose Mourinho admits the situation is 'very difficult'
WAYNE ROONEY could have played his LAST competitive match at Old Trafford.
Manchester United's star will start tomorrow's final Prem game against Crystal Palace on the bench.
And boss Jose Mourinho, who is saving his squad for Wednesday's Europa League final, admits the Rooney situation is "very difficult".
Keep up to date with ALL the Arsenal news, gossip, transfers and goals on our club page plus fixtures, results and live match commentary
Roo, 31, will not start that game and can only hope to take part as a sub.
Then he is likely to make his final bow in Michael Carrick's testimonial match on June 4.
Rooney looks set to be on his way, with options in China, America or at former club Everton.
It is clear his future does not lie at United and Mourinho admits it is tough managing a great player at the end of his career.
most read in football
He said: "It's very difficult because during my career I had this kind of situation of getting amazing players in the last period of their career.
"Sometimes, the players understand the situation. Sometimes they still feel they are 24, 25 and it's very difficult."
But Mourinho only had praise for his club captain.
He said: "If he is frustrated, he hides it. He behaves in the best way."
Yet the Portuguese had a dig at Europa League final rivals Ajax, claiming they should NOT have been allowed in the competition because they took part in the Champions League pre-qualifiers this season.
He said: "I disagree with it, I think a team shouldn't play in two European competitions in the same season, they should go home."
Mourinho is keen to land £40million Monaco midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko, 22. But he faces competition from Chelsea, Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain.

text: https://footballfutbolcalciosoccer.blogspot.ca/2016/06/euro-2016-round-of-16-review-best-xi.html The monumental win of the Iceland squad against the English will live long in the memory, but it was no miracle - Iceland are a good team and have been for a number of years. Make no mistake this group of Icelandic players have earned the right to get to the big stage. This is their Golden Generation and they have already achieved more than anyone could have dreamed but they are not done. Even with their Golden Generation tag, none of their squad would make the French team, such has been the exceptional nature of their team play and ethic. This French squad while stacked with talent have yet to play a great game at the tournament. They played a fantastic last half hour against the Irish and will look to continue with that momentum. This group of players know they are the better group of players and the likes of Griezmann and Pogba have gotten progressively better as the tournament has gone along. The suspensions of Rami and Kante, will mean Deschamps is forced into changes to his lineup. Each team is on a fairytale run for a different reason, Iceland's is obvious but for the French players they have the opportunity to win a major tournament on home soil. They have an opportunity to earn legendary status and kickoff the biggest sporting party in their country in almost 20 years. The pressure will be squarely on the French and that may play into Iceland's wheel house, but I believe the French will prevail.

Not so sure how many people remember good old Sara Lee, but I sure as hell haven't forgotten her lemon meringue pie nor her chocolate gateaux, such 90s classics. The lemon meringue in particular brings back memories of barbecues at my parents'…so many variations of seasoned meats, but the only part I was looking forward to was the end, when my parents (who obviously could not be arsed to make us a pudding) brought out a couple of boxes of Sara Lee's finest, and dammit could I have eaten the lot had there not been other greedy guests or family members present.
Moving on from those times, I have ventured far and wide and experienced my fair share of lemon meringue pies, but I have yet to come across one that is as memorable as Sara's. However, I've not actually had her lemon meringue pie since living at home with my parents as a kid, so the risk of trying it now is that it will taste like shit and my memories of family BBQs will be tarnished by this terrible dessert that my parents forced us to end our meals with back in the day…so I'd rather just cherish the memory I have of the taste and move on. That way, if I'm disappointed, it won't negatively impact on how I feel about the past. Ok, that makes sense in my head (I'm not proof-reading this paragraph in case it requires some heavy editing).
What I'm trying to say is that Sara Lee's pie holds a place close to my heart and despite its lack of refined taste, I still have a sense of longing to imitate it. Of course deconstructing mine doesn't resemble its vintage counterpart, but it allows me to focus on each individual component from the lemon curd all the way to the biscuit base which means the analysis stage can be conducted with more accuracy and precision – tasting each single part before putting it together, surely that's the ultimate test.
A wonderfully, chewy, sticky meringue, followed by a tart creamy lemon curd finished with a smooth crunch from the pastry. If I had to compare mine to the Sara Lee pud, I could confidently say that the meringue I produced is somewhat refined in terms of texture, but my pastry is a bit of a cheat as it's closer to crumble topping than to shortcrust, so maybe they're even.
Serving size:
Serves 6
Ingredients for meringue:
- 4 egg whites
- 1tsp lemon juice
- 150g caster sugar
Ingredients for lemon curd:
- 2 eggs
- Juice and zest of 2 lemons
- 50ml rapeseed oil
- 200g sugar
Ingredients for crumble base:
- 150g plain flour
- 100g butter
- 50g sugar
- Preheat oven to 100C.
- For the meringue, whisk the egg whites until stiff opaque white peaks form.
- Gradually whisk in the sugar and lemon juice until glossy.
- Using a piping bag, pipe half on the meringue mixture in any shape or form on a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper.
- Place in the oven for 1.5-2 hours.
- The other half can be cooked separately but for half the time or piped directly onto the pie or plate and browned with a blowtorch.
- For the lemon curd, heat the lemon juice, zest, oil and sugar over a double boiler until the sugar has dissolved.
- Slowly whisk in the eggs until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon then remove from the heat and cool.
- For the crumble, mix the butter and flour together with finger tips to make crumbs.
- Mix the sugar into the crumble and then bake at 180C for 15-20 minutes until golden.
- Assemble to make your pie.
Enjoy your constructed deconstruction and savour each part individually.

New figures from the Financial Ombudsman Service reveal new insights into the UK Pension Market
12 November 2018
Pensions have rarely been out of the news in the last few years, thanks to big changes to the pensions landscape such as auto enrolment and pension freedoms. Auto enrolment has seen millions more people saving for retirement while pension freedoms has given pension savers much more choice over what they do with their pension pots. This has also led to the potential rise in pension complaints against advisers thanks to the wider variety of options on offer.
However, new figures from the Financial Ombudsman Service reveal that since the introduction of pension freedoms in 2015, they have received fewer than 15,000 complaints involving pensions. Of this figure, just 1,700 have been about pension freedoms and around 300 of these complaints were about defined benefit (DB) transfers.
Caroline Wayman, chief ombudsman and chief executive of the Financial Ombudsman Service, said: "Most financial advisers I meet – and indeed most financial advisers – haven't ever had a complaint. As long as advisers continue to treat their customers fairly, it's likely to stay that way."
Edwin Schooling Latter, the Financial Conduct Authority's acting markets and wholesale policy director, said: "We have maintained our general advice to presume that transfers are not in the best interest of consumers. While transfers will be suitable for some, there is a risk of considerable consumer detriment in this area. We have therefore increasingly focused our attention on making sure that people who are considering transferring their money out of a DB pension pot get the right advice."
Steve Webb, director of policy at Royal London, said: "As old-style DB pensions become rarer in the private sector, individuals increasingly have to take more responsibility for their own retirement planning and face greater uncertainty about the future."

We are delighted to share one of our recent published scientific communications with you titled "The Increasing Relevance of FTIR Spectroscopy in Biomedicine". The corresponding author Dr. Shaul Mordechai has well demonstrated his research work and the following abstract says it:
Research into the utilization of FTIR based spectroscopic methods has been going on for close to about 25 years with the field expanding from the initial days of cancer diagnosis to now where it includes various diseases occurring due to pathogens, genetic and environmental factors as well as lifestyle and age related factors. In parallel there have been developments in terms of both instrumentation sophistication and computational methods, to make it more clinically appealing while increasing the sensitivity and specificity of the technique. As the field has diversified over the years, a few reports are highlighted that establish the growing acceptance of FTIR spectroscopy as a reliable technique in both basic and applied research in the field of biomedicine.

Do You Know How to Raise the Level of Urgency During Organizational Change?
How high you raise the level of urgency during organizational change has a direct correlation to success – as long as the urgency for change is NOT exaggerated, untrue, driven by fear alone, caused from anxiety, created from anger, or powered by politics, The urgency during organizational change must be driven by relevant and meaningful market realities, risks, and opportunities at the individual, team and organizational levels.
Change Falters for Many Reasons
If you read the articles on change management consulting and training, you know that there are many reasons organizational change initiatives fail. Some change efforts don't even get off the ground…and this is often because there has not been enough urgency established around the need for change.
Why Urgency During Organizational Change Matters
Unless you can convince your organization, from the top down, that the status quo is more dangerous (and not as appealing) than the change you recommend, your change initiative is in trouble. You need to communicate with a sense of importance, not exaggerating the facts, but painting a picture of the dire consequences of not changing. What will be the result of your declining competitive position:
Until your senior management understands what is at risk and your employees accept that change is necessary for survival, the attempt at transformation will typically languish. It takes energy, hard work, courage and great leadership to effect change. Don't be stalled at stage one.
Four Ways to Raise the Level of Urgency During Organizational Change
Raise the change urgency quotient so you get everybody onboard at the outset by:
1. Getting Client-Centric Feedback
Start with your current, potential and target customers. Then speak with partners and front-line employees. Use the information to paint a compelling and pressing picture of the reality in terms of the current situation, complications and implications of not changing the desired path forward and the anticipated benefits of completing the change. One client successfully used video-taped interviews of clients to get the unfiltered need to change across.
2. Sharing the Truth
Too many leaders are afraid to share bad news or interactions with unhappy customers because they do not want to create a sense of doom or failure. Smart change leaders know sharing data throughout the organization that supports the claim that change is necessary is a critical step toward creating the urgency necessary to gain commitment. Sure, you must be smart about how you share information, but do not be afraid to treat those affected like adults.
3. Behaving with Urgency
While this may seem obvious, you would be surprised how many leadership teams do not act with a sense of urgency commensurate with their proposed need for organizational change.
4. Creating Accountability
Smart change leaders enforce the requirements of change and hold people accountable for living the change. This includes having clear and significant consequences for those who resist change and creating meaningful recognition and rewards for those who get on board.
The Bottom Line
How high you raise the level of urgency during organizational change has a direct correlation to success. Make sure you use client-centric feedback, speak the truth, behaving with urgency and create accountability.

Pizza? Friends? Vegas? More Pizza? We are THERE.
Each year, pizza aficionados unite at the International Pizza Expo: the largest (and coolest) pizza show in the world. Held in sunny Las Vegas and with pies for miles, it's no-brainer event for the GreenBox team.
The 2015 expo wrapped up last week, and boy oh boy, was it a whirlwind. Our friends at Roma Food graciously invited us to showcase the GreenBox at their booth, and the display turned out awesome! Three days of pure pizza lovin' had us wondering, "Do we have to go home?"
While the exhibit is always a hit, there's nothing quite like catching up with some of the most loyal, longtime GreenBox users around. Folks from Jimmy's Pizza, Pizza Boli's, Pizzeria DaVinci and Upper Crust were just a few who stopped by to say hi. We felt like superstars.
We even made some new friends, too! Check out our very own Jennifer Wright-Laracy alongside Aurora, Colorado's A-Town Pizza. It's a match made in pizza paradise. :)
And like any good pizza fan-filled event, the expo isn't short on competition. "Fastest Box Folder" and "Freestyle Dough-Tossing" are personal favorites, but this year's "International Pizza Challenge" was tough to beat.
Our friend and professional pizza expert Scott Wiener was a judge at this culinary battle, where fruit salad pizza and sesame seed crust made appearances. We love his roundup of the expo's weirdest pies. Pork rinds, anyone?
But our trip to Vegas wouldn't be complete without a stay at The Cosmopolitan. We felt like royalty topping off each night with a slice from Cosmo's exclusive restaurant, Secret Pizza. It's one heck of a hidden gem - and they've got the GreenBox in tow.
They might call it Sin City, but to us - Vegas will always be Pizza Paradise. And we can't wait to be back for more.

On 18 March the MinFin of Russian Federation published a draft of the legislative amendments concerning taxation of income of foreign companies. The purpose of these amendments is to obligate Russian legal entities and individuals to pay taxes in Russia from income of their foreign subsidiaries and controlled legal entities.
New notions were introduced into legislation – controllable foreign companies and controlling entities. The former are institutions (not necessarily legal entities), registered in offshore. The latter are persons controlling the former. The notion "control execution" is determined as exertion of influence over decisions made by controllable entities regarding distributable income after taxation due to direct or indirect participation in such controllable entity.
According to the proposed amendments income of the controllable entity shall be accounted for when determining the taxable income of the controlling entity. The taxation rate shall be 20%. This means that users of offshore structures shall calculate and pay taxes for such offshore structures.
The controlling entity shall be recognised as the entity having direct, indirect or joint participation of more than 10% in the controllable entity. According to the international experience the threshold of 10% for joint participation is considered to be quite low and is usually defined to be in excess of 25-50%.
Furthermore, it is now allowed to deduct expenses and/or losses from the taxable base determinable by controlling entities of income of the controllable entities. However, dividends payable by the controllable entity shall be allowed for deduction.
Quite severe sanctions – up to 20% on taxable income - shall be introduced for non-payment or partial payment of taxes levied on controlling legal entities or individuals. The shareholders of controlling entities shall be obliged to inform the tax authorities concerning the controllable foreign entities and the participating share. In failure to do so such controlling entities will be exposed to a sanction of up to 100K rubles.
In addition this draft provides strict definition of Russian tax residency for foreign entities.
In light of the above changes, there is more and more incentive for de-offshorization. In case this draft becomes effective, it will have a huge impact on the current structures.

Rating: NNNNN
Darabont's dud
The Majestic directed by Frank Darabont, written by Michael Sloane, produced by Darabont, with Jim Carrey, Laurie Holden, Martin Landau and David Ogden Stiers. 150 minutes. A Darkwoods Production. A Warner Brothers release. Opens Friday (December 21). For venues and times, see First-Run Movies, page 77. Rating: Nfrank darabont (the shaw-shank Redemption, The Green Mile) wishes he were Frank Capra. Listen up, Mr. Darabont: There can only be one Capra, so just let it go. Please, let it go.The Majestic stars Jim Carrey as jaded 50s Hollywood screenwriter Peter Appleton, who's blacklisted by the government. He's depressed, so he gets drunk, crashes his car and wakes up with amnesia in an idyllic northern California town. There, he's mistaken for Luke Trimbell, the supposedly dead second world war hero and son of the local movie theatre owner (Martin Landau).
Of course Luke's childhood sweetheart (Laurie Holden) just happens to return home, and the pair hook up while Peter/Luke decides to reopen the movie theatre because, golly gee, the town sure could use a bit of fun.
Darabont dishes out sentimentality like a short-order cook in a slop house. There are speeches about the transforming power of "the pictures," and about convictions, courage (the blacklist was mean and nasty) and what it means to be an American.
Carrey, a talented dramatic actor, is reduced to grinning like a fool and looking grateful and wonder-stuck. It's a part Jimmy Stewart would have played 60 years ago, but the difference is that while Carrey only hints at his darker thoughts, Stewart regularly delved into real despair.
It's A Wonderful Life works because we're watching a man hit bottom, and even during that film's light-hearted moments we're achingly aware that Stewart is playing a man who feels he's unfulfilled and a failure.
What Darabont should realize is that in many ways Capra was a visionary, a filmmaker ahead of his time, especially when it came to sexual politics. That's why so many of his films stand up so well. By indulging in nostalgia and trying to remake those movies today, Darabont is degrading Capra as well as himself. IRLife of RyanKate & Leopold directed by James Mangold, written by Mangold and Steven Rogers, produced by Cathy Konrad, with Meg Ryan, Hugh Jackman, Liev Schreiber and Breckin Meyer. 110 minutes. An Alliance Atlantis release. Opens Tuesday (December 25). For venues and times, see First-Run Movies, page 77. Rating: N
kate & leopold makes my blood boil. Meg Ryan plays a hard-edged marketing executive in her 40s who falls in love with a 19th-century aristocrat (Hugh Jackman) simply because he treats her with a modicum of courtesy. She melts into a puddle when he speaks in grammatically correct sentences, stands up when she leaves the table, makes her toast in the morning and gives good hugs. I love romantic comedies, but only if they don't make women out to be completely desperate. At the heart of every romantic comedy lies a woman and man who've given up on love. The trick is to get them back into the mating fray without making them sacrifice their identities.
In Kate & Leopold, Ryan doesn't put up much of a fight -- she settles faster than Anna Nicole Smith in a nursing home. Where's the charm in that? It's all too easy and predictable.
And what is this movie telling us? That there are absolutely no men in the space-time continuum who can satisfy smart single women in their 40s? Talk about depressing.
I'm a huge fan of the very dishy Hugh Jackman. Even with the subpar writing here, Jackman shines, and you can understand why Ryan would want to make a movie opposite him. Her most famous leading men have been the sweet but less than seismically sexy Tom Hanks (twice) and Billy Crystal -- domestic wines to Jackman's imported champagne.
Joe nobody
JOE SOMEBODY directed by John Pasquin, written by John Scott Shepherd, produced by Arnold Kopelson, Anne Kopelson and Brian Reilly, with Tim Allen, Julie Bowen, Hayden Panettiere, Jim Belushi and Kelly Lynch. 85 minutes. A 20th Century Fox release. Opens Friday (December 21). For venues and times, see First-Run Movies, page 77. Rating: NNdirector john pasquin has a short filmography -- three films, to be exact, all of them starring Tim Allen and none of them called Toy Story. In Joe Somebody, Allen plays a corporate drone. He makes in-house videos for things like Bring Your Daughter To Work Day, has been dumped by his wife (Kelly Lynch) and passed over for promotion when, one awful day, he's beaten up in the parking lot by Patrick Warburton.After much soul-searching and a visit from the corporate "wellness co-ordinator" (Julie Bowen), he decides to seek redemption by challenging the bully to a rematch.
Suddenly he's a hero, gets a promotion, gets to hang out with the corporate in-crowd and starts taking martial arts lessons from a washed-up B-movie actor. Jim Belushi's slobbish indifference as a guy reduced to teaching a clientele that consists of "guys who got their asses kicked" is the funniest thing in the picture.
Joe Somebody feels like something made for television: there are lots of bright, shiny colours, a complex set of issues reduced to a simple resolution, and a feel-good father-daughter relationship.
The cast is filled with television actors, including Bowen from Ed and Gregg Germann playing the exact same character he's spent an eternity playing on Ally McBeal. While this movie is inoffensive and watchable, it's hard to justify spending full price for something that will provide the same enjoyment as a rental six months from now.
Let's see -- The Lord Of The Rings is playing, there's that terrific new Altman picture, Gosford Park, and there's a Tim Allen movie that isn't Toy Story. Which would you rather see?

Maybe someone should start selling "I am gaoxing" T-Shirts...
Maybe someone should start selling "I am gaoxing" T-Shirts...
Hi Haiwen,
sent you a PM
Falcon 4 is supposed to be one of the best aerial combat simulators, IL2 is also supposed to have a good flight model. Both games are older and should run without problems on older hardware.
If you have a newer computer and want to play a more action style game, check out Tom Clancy's Hawx
Oh, and should you not want to get too professional, FsX by Microsoft is also ok and good enough to fool around and have some fun... just check them out online and see which one suits your needs better.
Laotou is 100% correct. Xplane is one of the only real flight simulators out there. Why? Because the flight is simulated (computed in real time)... airflow over the wing (incl lift and different wing shapes), air resistance, wind....
While all MS products (Flight Sim X) only emulates a plane... it checks some parameters of an air craft (position, pitch, speed, altitude, etc.) and cross checks those against a programmed table. From this result it will determine your air crafts reaction.
In the end, x-Plane is FSA licensed (in several versions). You can set it so realistic that you'll be able to log real-flight hours, in case you have a pilots license.
Periphery support is outstanding, you can connect almost anything, like external panels, radios, pitch indicators, and and and, oh yes, simple rudder-horn combinations are of course also supported as well as simple joysticks.
I would suggest you to buy any game online nowadays (if you want to buy originals that is). Rudders/Horns can be bought on Taobao (I recommend Saitek products for professional flight systems, otherwise anything by Logitech, Thrustmaster or above RMB300 should work for the beginning :-)), I have not seen anything worth buying in a Kunming store.
Have fun!
No results found.
Hi Peter,
Haobao is in GoKunmings listings.
They have the exact address and phone number there. They also had an option to pick you up at your home (for a reasonable fee), bring you to their farm and take you back home, but I don't know if this info still up to date.
Very interesting, I am looking forward for more (give me a teaser, is it white water kajaking?).
I can second tigertiger, you can use Google Earth to preplan your route. I even find the resolution good enough to find my way without a GPS. Learn your route by heart on the screen or print out a map with several predefined routes.
If you're planning on descending on one of this farmers tracks let me give you a word of warning. These tracks tend to become very steep and narrow (especially near the top) with quickly changing surfaces (sharp rocks followed by a slippery clay-like surface for example). I hike them quite often and I am not sure you can completely negotiate them with a bike, unless your last name is Atherton though. I guess you'll have to carry your bike at some points.
If you want to try it, never ride alone and tell people where you will be riding, and then, please don't divert from your route(s).
I am more astonished that a pack of five dogs would actually attack deers... On the photos the dogs do not look that big, the typical Kunming city mix. Yes, the deers lived in a zoo, when they saw the pack (no matter how it got in), they definitely panicked, as they never had an encounter with another predator before and of course the dogs chased them. But it's beyond me why a well fed, or at least not starving dog (see pictures) would bite to kill.
Except they were well trained. I mean five dogs and six dead deer?! Very well trained.
Sad sad sad.
I hope that this will have no repercussions on domestic local dogs (as I own one), and I hope that the police will realize that this was a well planned and well executed attack (don't get me wrong, no positive vibrations here).
Hey, short question:
Who of you managed to climb the first steep (concrete) ramp directly behind the cigarette factory??
I'm a beginner, just started riding mtb. But man this is so steep. I made it all the way to the park entrance without putting a foot on the ground except the first ramp.
Just now it seems that the roads in the "park" are being paved so I couldn't ride in. The construction starts directly after the first small parking lot. As I live very close by, I'll try to go up the mountain regularly and keep you updated.

Ryan Reynolds Reveals How His Love Story with Blake Lively Started
With all the love stories and relationship updates raging over social media, we definitely don't want to miss one from the cutest celebrity couple – Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively.
The Deadpool star, recently sat down in an interview with Entertainment Weekly's Sirius XM show where he revealed some special stories on how he fell in love with his wife. The couple actually met and became friends during the shooting of The Green Lantern film, but there were no sparks flying. In fact, about a year after the film, both had remained single and — just friends, casually dating other people.
Then, the most awkward thing happened—they went on a double date together, but not with each other. Ryan was with another girl and Blake was with another man, but the two should have been alone because fireworks were going off between them throughout the entire evening, much to the awkward discomfort of their respective dates.
"The best way to have a relationship is to start as friends," Reynolds added.
Indeed, after the couple wed in September 2012, they have been giving us serious #relationship-envy, especially now that they have their little wonder, baby James, to make their marriage even more perfect.
Reynolds, who is 11 years older than his wife, also revealed some personal details of his wife's labor in another interview with US Late Night talk show host, Seth Meyers.
While Lively was in labor, he was jamming "Let's Get it On" by Marvin Gaye, and she blurted out " "Are you f—ing kidding me right now!?"
Ryan recalled that Lively did well during the labor, making jokes the entire time.
Reynolds is now enjoying his new role as a dad and is loving being a very hands on father. He actually enjoys his baby chores, much to the delight of his beautiful wife.
