Initial F-35 training cadre starts JSF transition
By: Dave Majumdar Washington DC
Initial training cadre pilots at the US Air Force's 33rd Fighter Wing at Eglin AFB, Florida, have started converting over to the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II. Previously, only two test pilots, US Marine Corps Maj Joseph Bachmann and USAF Lt Col Eric Smith, were flying at the sea-side base.
The first pilot to be "checked out" on the F-35 is USMC Col Arthur Tomassetti, vice commander of the 33rd FW. Tomassetti was one of the original test pilots for the X-35B concept demonstrator in 2000. "The X-35 was a prototype with a very basic cockpit and avionics. The F-35 is a lot more sophisticated," he says. "Family resemblance in the airplanes is most definitely there and they share excellent basic flying qualities. But that is about where the similarities end."
Tomassetti started his academics to fly the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) at Eglin but then continued training at Naval Air Station Patuxent River in Maryland, where the F-35B and F-35C are being put through their paces.
With the US Naval Air Systems Command giving the go ahead for the F-35B to start local area flights, Bachmann started flying the STOVL jet on 22 May. Bachmann flew again on 23 May to complete the aircraft's functional check flight. Tomassetti is scheduled for his first F-35B local sortie later in the day, but that is contingent upon the weather and aircraft availability.
Another pilot, USAF Lt Col Lee Kloos, commander of the 58th Fighter Squadron, is the first non-test pilot to start his transition over to the stealthy fifth-generation machine. Kloos, a former 2000 hour F-16 pilot and Weapons School graduate, has already completed four out of six cadre checkout flights needed to qualify him to fly the F-35A.
Currently, pilots are flying with a very limited envelope of only 450 knots and 5G. The focus of most of the training is on practicing basic airmanship-take-offs and landings, formation flights and handling characteristics. Given that the aircraft has very limited tactical employment capabilities at this early stage, pilots are spending much of their flight time practicing emergency procedures. Kloos says that it is important for the new instructors to hone those basic skills so that they can pass those on to less experienced aviators as they begin flying the F-35.
Once enough of the initial cadre of instructor pilots is fully trained, the 33rd FW will embark upon an Operational Utility Evaluation (OUE) later in the year. The OUE will evaluate the training syllabus and jets at Eglin to ensure that both are ready for regular usage. The "students" will be two highly experienced Eglin initial cadre pilots and two operational test pilots, both of whom are veteran aviators.
Once the OUE proves to Air Education and Training Command (AETC) chief Gen Edward Rice that the 33rd FW is ready to start regular training operations, he will give his approval to do so.

What a routine (for now) F-35 training sortie at Eglin AFB looks like...
By Dave Majumdar on May 24, 2012
US Marine Corps Col Arthur Tomassetti, 33rd Fighter Wing vice-commander, had his first local area F-35B flight scrubbed yesterday due to weather. Today, however, the weather was good and he managed to log 1.5 hours on the jet--which returned home with zero discrepancies.
Most of the flight was out over the Gulf of Mexico and consisted of basic aircraft handling maneuvers such as turns, climbs, descents. But Tomassetti also did some formation flying with the two Boeing F/A-18s that are visiting from Marine Corps Reserve Squadron VMFA-112 based at Fort Worth, Texas. Returning to base, he did some touch and goes around the Eglin pattern.
As Tomassetti describes it, flying at Eglin without having to hit specific test points is far less stressful than a full-up test sortie would be at NAS Patuxent River or Edwards AFB.
I continue to be impressed how easy it is to fly the F-35 and how well it performs. For the last two years I only flew in the back seat of the F-16s at Eglin. Today's flight is one of the first steps in building VMFAT-501's capability to train F-35 pilots. I was happy to be able to contribute to that effort."
"We were able to incorporate Lockheed Martin Contracted Logistics Support procedures accomplished with the Air Force F-35A to streamline operations for the first week of flying the F-35B variant," says USMC Gunnery Sergeant Matthew Smith, a VMFAT-501 maintainer. "So we were scheduled to fly three days and the F-35B flew all three days on our first week of flying operations."

33rd Fighter Wing steps up F-35 flights
(SLIDESHOW) May 25, 2012 JUSTIN HEINZE / Daily News
http://www.nwfdailynews.com/articles/su ... eshow.html
"EGLIN AFB — The 33rd Fighter Wing has been going through a "surge week" of increased F-35A flights in preparation of an inspection sometime at the end of this year.
Col. Andrew Toth, commander of the wing, said that 12 sorties would occur this week. He hoped that at least eight "effective missions" would result from the surge, citing weather as a limiting factor.
"We're really trying to maximize the number of sorties so that we can perfect our processes here," Toth said. "We want all our men and women ready to go for the (operational utility evaluation)."
This week the wing has completed two "two turn twos," meaning two F-35s took off, landed, were checked and then took off again. That exercise had not yet been done by the F-35, and 33rd spokeswoman Maj. Karen Roganov said it was a "big deal" to both maintainers and pilots.
The evaluation will be used by Gen. Edward Rice, commander of the Air Education and Training Command, to determine whether the wing is ready to begin formal training operations.
It is the wing's first surge ever....
...All told, the F-35 variants have completed 65 flight hours during 55 sorties at Eglin."

Yep, they are slowly ramping up here.
I apologize for not sitting at the end of the runway all day to report visual sightings, as i have been on the road last few weeks.
I can see two-ships flying a lot in the next week or so, using one 35 to chase the newbie in the other jet. This versus using a Hornet for the marines or a Viper for USAF and the Brit jet. in fact, I forecast using a 35 to chase the first Brit jet here.
For history, the initial 2 turn 2 seems anemic. But you must consider the concurrency aspect. We flew a lot more in the early Viper days, but the jet was not nearly as "new" and had a less-complicated avionics suite. That being said, our first ORI "surge" day was able to generate over 100 sorties with the initial 24 jets. Lost a few up front, but remaining jets flew time and again. In fact, the ORI team ran outta targets and last few hours we flew just to show our capability. Only other plane that did that was the A-37 during the Combat Dragon test phase in 1967.
I'll be out of town for a few months, so don't expect any PIREPS until September.
Gums sends...

US DOD first non-test pilot qualifies on F-35
By: Dave Majumdar Washington DC
The US Department of Defense's first non-test pilot finished his qualification to fly the Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter on 31 May.
"I was excited not only to complete my flight to become an F-35 instructor pilot, but also for the rest of the initial cadre since this opens the door for them to also become qualified in the F-35," says US Air Force Lt Col Lee Kloos, commander of the 58th Fighter Squadron (FS).
To qualify as an F-35 pilot, Kloos had to fly a transition course that consisted of six flights in the jet. As part of the first batch of instructors for the new fifth-generation fighter, Kloos will help train the rest of the initial cadre of F-35 pilots at the seaside base.
The 33rd Fighter Wing (FW), the 58th FS's parent unit, needs to have four instructor pilots trained in order to start the F-35's Operational Utility Evaluation (OUE) in the summer. The OUE will determine if the 33rd FW and the F-35 are the ready to train new pilots to fly the F-35. If the OUE is successful, Air Education and Training Command will approve the unit to formally start training.
The USAF currently only has two F-35 instructors at the base, Kloos and his director of operations, test pilot Lt Col Eric Smith. Smith was Kloos's instructor pilot having long ago qualified to fly the aircraft at Edwards AFB, California.
The USAF says there are additional two pilots who are awaiting approval to start their flight training. Once those two additional instructors are qualified to fly the F-35, they will teach four new "students" for the OUE.
Student, however, is a relative term. The four students are highly experienced fighter pilots who are transitioning to the F-35. Two are 33rd FW initial cadre pilots while two are from the elite 31st Test and Evaluation Squadron.
AF-17/18 have the OT tail flash for the 31st T&E Squadron.
"These four students have not flown an F-35 before and this will count as their check-out," the USAF says. "The OUE will evaluate our ability to qualify these four individuals."

F-35A surpasses sortie goal
04 May 2012 by Barry Graff
http://whythef35.blogspot.com.au/2012/0 ... -goal.html
Monday, June 4, 2012F-35A surpasses sortie goal
The F-35 A recently reached and surpassed its sortie goal (Inside the Air force – subscription required:
http://insidedefense.com/index.php?opti ... 04Mi5odG1s
"Col. Andrew Toth, commander of the 33rd Fighter Wing at Eglin AFB, told ITAF that last week, the wing conducted a successful "surge" in an attempt to carry out as many F-35A flights as it would need to launch during the OUE. Toth said the evaluation requires at least eight flights per week to complete the analysis in its scheduled 65-day window. Between May 21 and May 24, his command scheduled 12 CTOL flights with the intention of getting eight off the ground, and in the end, 11 of the 12 went off as planned, well above the required rate. The one remaining flight was aborted on the ground on May 21....
...Asked what aspects of the F-35A have required frequent maintenance, Burkhart said program personnel have not had to deal with any in-depth problems. Instead, he mentioned "normal" procedures like changing tires, relieving wear on aircraft brakes and touching up the low-observable materials on the fighter jet's wings as the simple types of repairs needed to keep the wing's sortie-generation rate high...."

DiSTI's Technology Enables F-35 Training at Eglin Air Force Base
DiSTI — June 13, 2012
"The DiSTI Corporation, a leading developer of interactive 3D software and customized training solutions, enabled early training for the Academic Training Center (ATC) at Eglin Air Force Base through advanced virtual maintenance training technology. DiSTI was selected by AAI Services Corporation for development of the F?35 Lightning II Aircraft Systems Maintenance Trainer (ASMT), as one part of the F?35 training system that was developed by Lockheed Martin. The ASMT gives the ATC an innovative training method and increases student throughput prior to the aircraft being fielded.
The ASMT provides training for student maintainers with curriculum covering ground operation, maintenance, and testing procedures. Through its latest software tools and processes, DiSTI streamlined the conversion of Computer Aided Design (CAD) data provided by Lockheed Martin to produce a high fidelity and interactive virtual maintenance environment for the ASMT. By creating a life?like virtual representation of the actual F?35 jet and its components, DiSTI worked with AAI to produce a training application that immerses students in a compelling 3D virtual environment.
"The desktop trainers such as the Aircraft Systems Maintenance Trainer, requires each student to follow the procedures of checking out virtual tools, reading the maintenance checklist, and individually performing each task," said Brian Vohl, Lockheed Martin's Weapons Instructor.
The 33rd Fighter Wing at Eglin has eight basic familiarization courses in session where the students have access to the computer simulators. Student maintainers now have a way to become familiarized with the F?35 byworking on a virtual aircraft before the actual aircraft is delivered. This comprehensive training solution aided the Air Force students at Eglin to gain their first certificate of completion in the F?35 courses for structures, avionics, weapons and crew chief career fields.
"This is hugely significant for all services because we are getting our maintainers prepped for when we are fully stood?up for F?35 training in the near future," said Col. Andrew Toth, 33rd FW Commander. "The classes are another exciting step forward in the 2012 execution year for F?35 training."...
...Since its delivery to the ATC at Eglin Air Force base, the ASMT has become an integral part of the training curriculum. In March, approximately 100 maintenance students from three branches of service began the inaugural classes for the F?35 basic familiarization courses at Eglin AFB...."

F-35 training center begins formal training
Apr/11/2012 by Maj. Karen Roganov | Team Eglin Public Affairs
"4/11/2012 - EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. -- While celebrating each F-35 Lightning II arrival, the integrated joint strike fighter training team also opened the doors for the first Air Force certification courses on the logistical support behind the nation's newest weapons platform.
The 33rd Fighter Wing have eight basic familiarization courses now in session at the academic training center with courses currently scheduled through early next year. Approximately 100 maintenance students from three branches of service began the inaugural classes March 19.
"This is hugely significant for all services because we are getting our maintainers prepped for when we are fully stood-up for F-35 training in the near future," said Col. Andrew Toth, 33rd FW commander. "The classes are another exciting step forward in the 2012 execution year for F-35 training."
Every step has an effect on the future of these new programs.
"What we do now hinges on the progress of joint technical data verification for the F-35's maintenance procedures, virtual-reality trainer software validations and upgrades as well as course delivery methods coming online," said Senior Master Sgt. Richard Brown, F-35 ATC superintendent. "Up until this point, we've been conducting small group try outs with the integrated maintenance team here to verify the system is meeting the requirements needed."
After the team's try out process was completed, ATC personnel were able to offer Air Force students their first certificate of completion in F-35 courses for structures, avionics, weapons and crew chief career fields. Crew chiefs assigned to the wing already gained familiarization of flight line tasks and performed duties on the flight line associated with generating sorties.
Seasoned maintainers crossing over to the new aircraft platform were selected to attend the first classes. Marine Corps students hail from careers in ordnance, avionics, power line and airframes. To share the resources of instructors and trainers, the ATC runs two class shifts with schedules occasionally ending as late as 1 a.m.
"The pipleline students, those learning to be maintainers, are anticipated to train at the ATC early 2014," said Brown. "Most of the students going through will be instructors when they stand up field training detachments."
At the ATC, students have access to computer simulators touting near-realistic interaction with the jet aided by a digital "avatar." Additionally, virtual training is provided on life-size mock-ups of F-35 components.
Lockheed Martin's F-35 platform includes the aircraft itself as well as the logistics and sustainment support systems, designed to keep each plane in the air and fully operational. Courseware is built using a flexible modular design, making it possible to train war fighters from three different services and eight international partners on three F-35 variants without creating multiple training suites of variant-specific hardware and software, according to Lockheed Martin's website. This total training solution lets trainees get immersed in the virtual experience before moving to the real thing.
Students currently enrolled are going through the phases of training designed by ATC personnel.
"The first week of training for all specialties is basically the same," said Brian Vohl, Lockheed Martin weapons instructor. "The desktop trainers such as the Aircraft Systems Maintenance Trainer, requires each student to follow the procedures of checking out virtual tools, reading the maintenance checklists and individually performing each task."
After ASMT training, the students break off into their specific disciplines to train virtually at the ATC before heading out to the operational side of the wing where the fifth generation fighter jet is housed with each service's flying squadron.
"You can read about it all day, but you actually need a feel for the aircraft, work environment and know how the parts of the jet move," said student Staff Sgt. Frantavious Dooley, a weapons crew chief with the 57th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev.
The classroom experience combined with flight line operations are beneficial for learning about aircraft safety, in particular the warnings and precautions outlined in the joint technical, he said.
Classmates from Air Force flight test units will take lessons learned at Eglin home to stand up F-35 sustainment at their units. Hill Air Force Base is slated to be a depot maintenance site and Nellis and Edwards are operational test sites.
"I like the process; the new approach is 100 percent compliant with learning tasks," according to Tech. Sgt. Johnathan Meyer, an F-35 weapons instructor at the 359th Training Squadron here. "Finishing off the comprehensive approach to training, the student gets aircraft hands-on training at an active flight line."
Meyer said he attended the ATC weapons class to evaluate and lend feedback of the overall training program based on his five-year expertise as an instructor for Air Force maintenance technical training.
"When training is in full swing, approximately 2,100 maintainers and 100 pilot students can be processed through the ATC annually, with 900 people at any given time on campus," said Toth. "Classes last from one to three months depending upon the course."

The four-day familiarization class was the first-ever ALIS supply course completed since the ATC began commencement of formal training Mar 19.

Maintenance Trainers | F-35 Lightning II Aircraft Systems Maintenance Trainer (ASMT)
http://www.aaicorp.com/products/trainin ... nance.html
"...The ASMT is configured to include one instructor operator station (IOS) and 12 student stations. The IOS offers real-time status of all student activities and automatically raises an alert if a student is performing below expectations. Responding to the alert, the instructor receives a representation of the student's monitors, audio, and status relative to the training task process steps. The instructor can monitor the student, communicate with the student over the intercom, or even take control remotely of the student's PC if desired. The sophisticated ASMT IOS allows the instructor to effectively monitor a large number of students, increasing training throughput and quality.
Student stations offer a realistic, 3-D virtual vehicle environment, as well as 2-D panels and displays. The student can navigate throughout the F-35 aircraft during maintenance training and select the virtual support equipment and tools required. A real F-35 portable maintenance aid is connected at each student station, allowing the student to monitor the virtual aircraft functions, run diagnostics, and display technical and task documentation.
Also, the instructor can enable different training modes for guided practice, free play, and graded testing of the students' newly acquired skills. The students perform virtual system maintenance tasks with the added advantage of fault isolation for skill improvement...."

The JSF training | Training for the Joint Strike Fighter
Dec 8, 2011 Pubblicato da Gabriele
http://ukarmedforcescommentary.blogspot ... ining.html
"The Full Mission Simulator is an incredibly high-fidelity simulator capable to prepare pilots for flying complex operational scenarios. A complete FMS costs 20 million dollars, according to 2012 US DoD budget figures: the US armed forces have so far ordered a total of 10 FMSs.
The FMS is destined to be used with two distinct rooms, one for Briefing and one for Debriefing, and the system can run in Training mode, from the Briefing room to the actual simulator, while also supporting debriefing for the precedent training sortie.
Key feature of the FMS is the simulator dome, which pushes technology to the current limit, with visual display contractor Rockwell Collins having succeeded in developing and building a totally smooth dome giving 360° degrees all around visibility and simulation of the complete environment around the plane. The FMS has a 2m (6.5ft)-diameter dome surrounded by a frame mounting the 25 liquid-crystal-on-silicon (LCoS) projectors.
The FMS delivers the visual quality needed to undertake the simulation of aerial refueling and emergency procedures, particularly enabling the pilot to realistically react to an engine flameout, where one needs as much visibility as possible.
The FMS display will be further enhanced when simulated infrared imagery from the F-35's Distributed Aperture System will be fed into the pilot's helmet. This feature is currently not yet ready, but this is understandable, especially considering that, unfortunately, the Helmet Mounted Display with integrated infrared imagery capability is a source of issues still, with the original contractor having proven unable to meet the requirements, and BAE recently selected to develop an alternative, based on the Striker HMD used on the Typhoon.
The simulation is highly realistic because the F-35 FMS use the real aircraft's Operational Flight Program (OFP), but more than that, it employs all the actual computer models from the aircraft's sensor manufacturers and integrates that data, which means that the pilot flies the simulator just as he'd fly the actual plane, including the "behavior" of the engine, which runs on the very same software present on the F35.
The training simulation is controlled from the Instructor Operating Station, and the simulator can replicate the tactical environment that a pilot and his wingmen would face in combat. The FMSs can be networked to allow pilots to experience flying in a multiship environment against a vast array of air and surface threats. Eventually, FMSs dispensed on bases across the US will be linked, to allow large-scale simulations that will be almost as effective as flying air wars such the huge Red Flag exercises. It might be possible to network the simulators on a multinational basis, as well: UK pilots might train in a simulator based in the UK, flying alongside other F35s, simulated from bases in the US and flown by American personnel.
The Mission Rehearsal Trainer (MRT), is a smaller-scale variant of the FMSs, low cost and simplified. It has not the full-360° dome display, replaced by a narrow vision one. The software, however, is exactly the same.
The Deployable Mission Rehearsal Trainer puts the whole MRT package into a single shipping container ISO which can be deployed on a forward operating base or embarked on an aircraft carrier. It is expected that one will go on the Strike Carrier, in fact. The container includes two cockpits simulators and an Instructor Operating Station controlling the system.
The ASMT will allow maintenance engineers to practice fault-location procedures, replacement of line-items and parts of the plane and other maintenance operations. The ESMT will include a mock-up of the front of the F35, and will allow technicians to train in the removal of the cockpit's canopy and complete installation/removal procedures of the ejector seat and all related systems.
Finally, the Weapons Loading Trainer will provide ground crews with a functional mock up of the plane, designed to allow them to practice the procedures for loading and unloading weaponry, on both the internal and external hard points.
UK company EDM is heavily involved in the simulators, being under contract to build and provide the ejection-seats and weapons-loading hardware trainers.
Actual flying training will of course remain necessary, but the number of flying hours needed to prepare crews for F35 operations will be slashed and brought down to much smaller levels. The current target is to achieve a 50/50 balance between simulator and flying exercises. Simulator "events", at least at the beginning, will take more hours than exercise done actually flying the machine, so that effectively the pilots will have more simulator hours than flown hours, training-wise. There will also be an embedded simulation capability in the aircraft itself, and the F-35 is to be compatible with the P5 rangeless air-to-air and air-to-ground combat training system, enabling complex mission simulation when in flight, much as with the latest model of Hawk trainer of the RAF. The full extent of capabilities in this sense is being developed.
The US have been in these years building an integrated training centre (ITC) at Eglin AFB, in Florida, fitting it with 10 full-mission simulators plus six maintenance training devices, classrooms and the training system support centre...."

- Awarded 4 Out Of 5 Stars By Music Radar
- Comes With 15 Watt Electric Guitar Amp
- Everything You Need To Start Playing
- Includes Bag, Lead, Strap, Strings, Picks + More
LA Electric Guitar + Amp Pack, Black
— With everything you need to get playing straight out of the box, the LA Electric Guitar + Amp Pack puts a wealth of tones at your fingertips. It features the sleek and versatile Los Angeles Guitar, a portable 15W Guitar Amp, and accessories including a tuner, cable, gigbag, strings, strap and picks - a great solution for practise, lessons, jam sessions and more.More details:
Product Ref: 0007
Classic Style and Versatile Sound
This Los Angeles is an affordable way for beginners to capture the vibe of some of music's most respected guitar greats. The sleek, double cutaway body and sparkling tones of its three single coil pickups are inspired by some of the most legendary guitars in the history of music.
Capable of producing anything from deep rock crunch, through jangly blues to sparkling highs, the LA can be used for both rhythm and lead at the flip of a switch. A 5 way selector gives access to the wealth of guitar sounds the LA has to offer - tones for everything from rock, blues and funk to jazz. Single coil pickups are known for their bright, sharp and clear ring with the neck pickup producing a mellow but full twang and the bridge position giving you a clean, acoustic-like ring.
Easy Playing Neck, Comfortable Body
The solid, contoured body of the LA guitar makes it comfortable to play. With a body crafted from Paulownia wood, this instrument is lightweight and easy to handle. The deep black finish is matched with a white 3-ply pickguard and chrome hardware that complements this guitar's classic design.
The LA's full size, 22 fret neck combines a Maple back with a Rosewood fingerboard. The smooth Maple allows comfortable, quick and easy movement along the neck for those faster licks whilst the guitar's double cutaway design lets you rip through blistering solos with easier access to the higher frets. The dark Rosewood fingerboard adds a mellow depth and warmth to the guitar's sound with plenty of sustain.
If dive bombing or blues vibrato are your thing the LA is equipped with a vintage 6-point tremolo. If you prefer things a little more mellow, the tremolo arm is removable and can simply be attached when needed. The guitar also features a volume control and two tone dials, all of which sit within easy reach for quick adjustments during a gig.
15 Watt Guitar Amp - Perfect for Practising or Jamming
Whether you're practising at home or jamming with your mates, this 15 Watt Amp has the volume you need to get heard, but won't get your parents or neighbours complaining! Portable and lightweight, the amp can easily be carried to lessons or a jam session.
With a 3 band EQ, Gain and Master Volume on the front panel, you can easily dial in your own tone. Crank the on board switchable boost, and add some serious crunch and distortion to your sound - great for rock, metal and blues.
If volume is an issue, plug a set of headphones into this amp's headphone output, and you have a silent set-up - ideal for undisturbed practise sessions. You can also play along to your favourite riffs by connecting an audio player to the amp's RCA inputs.
A rear-mounted tilt-back panel allows you to angle the amp towards you whilst sitting down, to make sure you get the best of the tones you'll be creating.
Included Accessories

It's whether readers might wish to follow up on the matter for possible further detail. And it's a matter of good forum etiquette.
I note that webpages from a resource you yourself often seem to dismiss (Wikipedia) can be expected to include footnotes to sources.
Alanh, if your source of information of the decision of the foreign government authority is confidential, or subject to very strict copyright, perhaps you should not be making the claim at all. If the material is public, standard forum protocol is for the source to be disclosed. If you're not prepared to follow standard protocols, it would probablly be better for you not to create the new thread. Either do it properly or don't do it at all, I'd suggest.
In any case, haven't you already pushed the dvb-t2 and mpeg4-avc barrows more than enough? Who is surprised if a country introducing a new digital terrestrial TV system chooses that modulation and that codec? Is it even worth starting a thread on the topic? It would be more newsworthy to report that a country commencing digital TV transmissions had chosen mpeg2 for the video codec. Or had decided to adopt the emerging h265 codec.

to your "O So Secret Information" I really don't care what 200 odd million Indonesians are watching or doing for that matter, providing
there doing it in Indonesia, and not in my backyard.
As for Burma, I have several contacts on other forums from people in that part of the world, and there far too busy trying to feed
themselves, without wasting there time wondering what there Governments may or may not be doing with there TV media. In fact most
people in that part of the world, are "Card Sharing" there programming via satellite.
About the only thing your attempts at informative posts seem to do is boost your posting count. Which is probably nice for your ego..
But of very little use to anyone or everyone else. Do carry on.

You may not care about what happens in these countries, however it will drastically reduce prices of these receivers.

So? What's that got to do with Australia? These countries are starting from a clean slate - they DON'T have an established DTV system.
I'm really interested in your explanation plan as to how Australia will move to DVB-T2/MPEG4 / time frame?
MPEG4 DTV has NO consumer benefits as broadcasters will 'adjust' MPEG4 video so that it delivers the SAME video quality as MPEG2!
Yes, they'll be able to squeeze extra channels into their 7MHz pipe, but that's about it.
As far as I'm concerned, DVB-T2 / MPEG4 is a long term (20+ years) plan.. and I'll leave it to a braver man than me to paint the technology landscape in 2032.

4. Checking facts, before posting.

- Indonesia - this is old news (December 2011); Kominfo hasn't released any new information publicly since then; timeframe for full analogue switchoff is still 2018. (source: Kominfo)
- Singapore - trialled DVB-T2 in late 2011, SMDA report released in March 2012; DVB-T currently in use but expects to migrate to DVB-T2 by the time of full analogue switchoff (2015-2020) (source: Singapore Media Development Authority)
- Malaysia - short (4 day) DVB-T2 trial in 2011; expected to move straight from analogue to DVB-T2 but no current plans to begin digital transition (sources: DVB.org, APBU, Wikipedia - note that there is very little translated information beyond press releases).
- Thailand - DVB-T adopted, DVB-T2 trialled in January 2011; Expected (but unconfirmed) analogue transition in 2015-2020 i.e. the standard APBU / ASEAN timeline (sources: DVB.org, APBU - very little information from government / official sources).
- Burma - currently analogue (~92% population coverage) / DVB-T (50+% population coverage); trial of DVB-T2 in January 2012 (current?); plans to switch off analogue when digital takeup has reached 80%~90% (expected timeframe: 2025~2030) (sources: DVB.org, APBU - again, very little information beyond press releases available in English).

Seak raises an interesting point, and it's one that highlights why context and sources - and not just a bare statement or two, with maybe a vaguely-related link thrown in - are important.
Until last night, I pretty much assumed the same thing; that the countries listed were leapfrogging to DVB-T2. Turns out that's not the case - Burma, of all places, has existing DVB-T with respectable coverage and a 'plan' to convert to DVB-T2. Singapore is effectively 100% DVB-T coverage (including, to keep alan happy, a HD-only channel using H.264 in DVB-T streams) and plans to do a reasonably fast changeover to DVB-T2 in a few years, but due to its size & high population density it's something of a special case.
The others - Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand; ones you might've thought would have been quite advanced compared to, say, Burma - have never really adopted digital terrestrial TV, and so effectively are starting from a clean slate.
Posted 05 May 2012 - 09:44 AM
The importance to us is that countries with such large populations and at least one major TV manufacturing plant will drive down prices of this type of receiver.
It is also showing that countries in the "third world" are taking this technology on. What are we doing?

If that's the main thrust of your argument, then it doesn't matter whether Australia adopts DVB-T2 or not. The standard is backwards-compatible; DVB-T2 receivers will decode DVB-T; so by remaining DVB-T Australia wins both ways - cheaper sets for consumers, and no additional capital outlay for broadcasters. And all without any additional government intervention!
It's not often you see a win-win-win scenario...

Looks like we're going to find out about these two sooner than later: http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2012/nov/26/jonas-mouton-brandon-taylor-likely-debut/
At this point the team doesn't have much of a choice. I haven't been able to get confirmation on Gachkar (Conc, you find anything?), but it looked like he along with (these have been confirmed) Butler, Bigby, Stuckey, and Weddle all came out of Sunday with injuries. And Weddle for certain, and I'd assume likely one of either Butler or Gach (it looked like he might have broken a couple ribs), will miss the game against Cincy. And Bigby (groin), Butler (groin), and Stuckey (hamstring) all have the kind of injuries that make it difficult to come back from in a single week.
Yep, it's a good start. Lets get Troutman and Molk in on the line. Give Shareece and Gilly the start at CB. Reyes should start over Martin. And feed Mathews the rock until the kid drops. Better for the future of the team then to keep throwing the same tired bunch out. Lets see what we got so we can prioritize our needs for next year.
Word on Troutman is that even though he's practicing, he's not expected to play this year at all. Same with Dombrowski. Phil just needs to be wrapped in bubble wrap with his left arm left free to hand the ball off to Mathews
thats unfortunate. Troutman, I still believe can be a solid, and mean Guard in the NFL.. Though, I feel like he has a Gaither attitude.
And Gilly will start at FS I believe.. Taylor will be at SS. Word on the street is Bigby's groin injury is "pretty bad".. so we could see alot of Taylor. If it was me, I'd have Gilly and Jammer at the safety positions, Wright & Cason at corner, and a nice rotation with Taylor & Jammer going on at SS.
Does he? The team knew he was injured when they drafted him, and expected him to miss his rookie season. They rolled the dice with a 5th round pick, I guess we'll see next year whether or not it was worth it.
Troutman isn't going to be active anytime soon, he's on the roster but he's no closer to playing than he was at the start of the year. He's going through a red shirt year. Taylor, Mouton, let's see what they have. We've got nothing to lose.
I think it is a great time to bring in prospects and see what they have. I don't like all of the injuries, but injuries or not we need to start evaluating or young talent. Time to rebuild!
And baptism by fire from the sound of it. As Bigby went on the IR today (Good riddance! Go lower your shoulder at the door and dive your way out of here, buddy). And we re-signed... wait for it... Bront Bird! The white flag has officially been waved. Frankly I expected AJ to put up more of a fight, but then again... he may truly be confident that he's going to still come out of this whole debacle with his job still (or... as is probably the case, he knows he'll still be in demand for another job if/when he's let go).
I know, Bront ******* Bird.. It's whatever, since he's only gonna be here for a week or two. Butler should be back next week unless its a serious groin injury, cough Gaither cough. Bront is just the 5th linebacker I'm guessing, and will take over Gachkar's responsibilities on ST's while he's out there or if Gachkar is hurt. He was holding his side for a majority of the game. So it'd be Spikes, Mouton, Williams, and Bird. I think it was more of a salary cap thing and a familiarity.
If we end up with a starting D like below Sunday I'm happy let's see what they all got; Reyes - Franklin - Liuget (with Cam and Martin rotating, screw Garay) SP - Spikes - Mouton - JJ (with a healthy sprinkling of Ingram and Williams) Wright - Gilchrist (FS) - Taylor (SS) - Jammer (with Cason playing some nickel)
Only thing I'd probably do is remove JJ and put in Ingram as a starter. Rotate Barnes in on obvious passing downs
I don't think you want to necessarily pull JJ because he's under contract and is going to be here next year (his play has certainly earned that). I think that what I'd rather see would be JJ lining up on the Strongside and Ingram on the weakside so that he can get more opportunities against tackles.
Cason won't play nickel.. Neither will Taylor start, Corey Lynch is. Which is so ******* dumb and so Norvous. Veteran over rookie, guarantee you that has Norv stamped all over. I'd like to see Ingram start playing where Phillips is. Might as well, since SP will most likely be gone after this year. I think Ingram can get around a RT a little better than a LT.
It familiarity. He knows the playbook better than any street FA you could get at this point and he adds value at being able to contribute immediately on ST. At this point, I'm not rushing anyone who is injured back prematurely. The only reason I'm not wishing a minor, but still pesky injury (like a high ankle sprain or hamstring pull) on Rivers is that I know that - in spite of people wanting to call him a P**** and what not this season - THAT GUY would still go out there and try to play until he was forcibly dragged off the field or wasn't able to stand from the bench to drag himself out between the hashes. There's all of one game I want to win of the remaining ones this season - the game against the Raiders - and I'd just as soon lose all the rest in the mean time so that we can afford to win that one game and it doesn't do anything to "merit" Norv being retained.
Actually you can't blame Norv. Giving the young players time is hoisting up the white flag and admitting that he's accepted he'll be let go at the end of the season. He's not going to do that, because as far as he's concerned he's still fighting for his job and putting inexperience players on the field doesn't give him better odds of doing that. Wright will probably see a significant amount of time at the nickel spot because with Stuckey out as well as Weddle (and being short-handed in safeties to begin with) Gilchrist will be the primary back and possible starter at FS if Stuckey can't go.
Who knows what happens this week, but if we have 8 loses, and Indy and Pitts win, I'm pretty sure were mathematically out. But who knows, unfortunately your right, Norv is fighting for his job. I guess you never know, Giants tore it up last year went 9-7 made the playoffs and a Super Bowl appearance. I have faith, but realistically can't see that with this team from what I've seen so far 11 games in..
Guys... This team is not winning this week. Or next week. Maybe (maybe) the following week... But by then they will definitely be eliminated mathematically and Norv (if he's still here) will be able to throw the young guys in to preserve what's left of this team. Hell... let Whitehurst start vs the Panthers and avoid any risk of injury to Rivers. But at that point it might be Bisaccia at HC and he'll be thinking he's auditioning for a HC gig. What a horrible situation this team is in.
Actually in a bassackwards sorta way, we're heading in the right direction. This entire franchise needs a culture change, and the disasters that have happend this season...choking when we had the Saints on the ropes, blowing a 24 point lead, losing to a 1-6 team after a bye, 4th and 29, the offense being historically awful on 3rd downs, not selling out home games, the "take a chill pill" line etc... might just be enough to beat some fu*king sense in our dumbshi*t owner.
I agree with the statement the "franchise needs a culture change". It needs to hold individuals, coaches, and management accountable for the performance of the organization. This has not happened in a long time. All they do is pick scapegoats and burn them...and the decline continues.
I edit my post to reference organization versus team...because I agree with Matilack that this is truly an organizational transition not just a coaching change that needs to happen. Take a Chill Pill Bolt fans! FU!

Conference Code of Conduct
American Atheists' President Dave Silverman announced today that the organization was implementing a comprehensive Code of Conduct for all sponsored and hosted regional conferences and the annual American Atheists' National Convention.
Dave Silverman said, "The Code of Conduct will allow all conference attendees to know that American Atheists' events are safe, fun and informative. We want people to enjoy themselves but know there will be consequences for harmful behaviors."
The Code of Conduct addresses conference attendees' behavior during speaker's sessions, access to sessions for ability-challenged attendees, respect for families who attend, as well as sexual and other types of harassment.
The Code of Conduct also provides direction for American Atheists' staff and volunteers who will take reports of harassment and inappropriate conduct.
Silverman continued, "We are training our staff and volunteers to be able to take information from our attendees who have been harassed. These reports will be given directly to one designated senior staff member at each event to be assessed and to determine what action should and needs to be taken."
"The Code of Conduct is a living document. We will adapt it as we learn from what works and what needs improvement. But the overall goal is to create fun, enjoyable, and safe conventions and conferences for everyone," Silverman added.
The Code of Conduct will go into effect immediately and be used first at American Atheists' regional conference in Minnesota, August 10-11.

Comments about Cappel Cherry Bomb Insulated Jacket:
Someone up there is finally paying attention to female riders taller than 5'3! I'm 5'9, about 145 pounds and I have always disregarded women's jackets because fit has usually been too short on the arms and especially the body. Extra frustrating that majority of the time, sizing up just gains width rather than length. I was considering grabbing yet another men's jacket but it just wasnt doing it for me so I took a peek in the girls section and lo and behold a jacket that actually reaches past my belt loops. Bought this in "tank" in a size L, and the bottom of the jacket comes down to where my arms end. It could come in an XL just for a bit of extra length though, but I'm happy with the large. Looks dope just as a street jacket too.
My first review ever, I just had to say THANK YOU WHOEVER HAS GIVEN A THOUGHT TO TALL GIRL SHREDDERS! WOOOO
- Was this a gift?:
- No

Normalizing the expression of an experimental reporter to the expression of a control reporter can help to differentiate specific from nonspecific effects of cell-treatment protocols. We have developed a luciferase-based technology, the Chroma-Luc™ Series Reporter Vectors. The Chroma-Luc™ Vectors include a vector encoding one red-emitting luciferase (CBRluc) and two vectors encoding green-emitting luciferases (CBG68luc and CBG99luc).The design of the synthetic Chroma-Luc™ genes is based on a native Yellow-Green luciferase gene originally cloned from Pyrophorus plagiophthalamus, a large click beetle indigenous to the Caribbean. To ensure reliability and high levels of expression, the Chroma-Luc™ genes have been codon optimized for mammalian expression and cleared of most known consensus transcription factor binding sites. In addition, the predicted peroxisome targeting sequences have been removed. Upon addition of the luciferase substrates, the engineered CBRluc luciferase emits red light (613nm), which has optimal color separation from the corresponding 537nm green-emitting Chroma-Luc™ luciferases (i.e., CBG68luc and CBG99luc).

Glenn, Please fill me in with details about Canary Wharf since I'm going over THE LONG GOOD FRIDAY with my class next Thursday. I assume you are referring to the gentifrication which accelerated under Thatcher and even destroyed the old Tiger Bay community in Cardiff.
Now, to return to the point of the last posting. There has always been this snobbery against American actors doing Shakespeare. A few years ago, I met Brett Halsey who is now teaching acting at the University of Costa Rica. He is a person who takes acting VERY seriously despite the fact that he has mostly appeared in commercial films in Europe and America. Brett began his training in the old Universal Studios acting school with Clint Eastwood where both learned on the job and in acting classes. I think Brett also mentioned this hostility against Americans playing classical roles. Yet, just look at Gayle Hunnicutt appearing in Henry James adaptations in the 1980s and Gillian Anderson's recent accomplished performance as Lady Dedlock in the BBC TV adaptation of BLEAK HOUSE. Further back, Paul Robeson played Othello on the British stage and I think Robert Ryan also portrayed Iago.
Welles was just the tip of a very important iceberg but still the prejudices remain despite the evidence.

text: I'm having to miss the Hawks game tonight because all the damn TVs in the house are being used that have satellite hooked up to them. Maybe a little later, I'll be able to watch some of the action. I just hope that we continue to play physical, to move with a flow about us, to continue to pass the puck proficiently, and for Crawford to continue his stellar play at goaltender.
