Hi all,
Here is a genuine, un-biased review of the F-One Bandit XI (2018) 9m & 11m, for those looking for new gear.
- Disclaimer: I'm a passionate rider, no affiliation to any brand, I buy my gear at the local shops like most of us, where I also get to demo occasionally some new gear every year.
- My usual program: I like to free ride on twin tips, old school big jumps with board tricks / rotations, a bit of wave occasionally, not much unhook and I haven't tried yet tried foiling.
- I am 75kg, been kiting for 11 years, I like riding oversized kites for bigger air time, from 12knots - 45knots+
- I hadn't tried any F-One since the Bandit 1, wasn't my cup of tea at the time. Though I heard recently that it's the most sold kite/brand in the world so they must be doing something right, so when I got a chance to ride one on the Gold Coast, I gave it a try with an open mind. They just don't have a very big presence yet in Australia compared to Cabrinha and North.
Those Bandits are perfect all rounders, they do everything super well, best depower I've tried, accessible for beginners and all the firepower you need for advanced riders, awesome kitelooper, good upwind, massive wind range, great jumping height ...
Trying those was so worth it that I bought the 11m and the 9m
- Favourite other kites I tried earlier this year : the North Rebel 2018 10m, the Ozone Edge v9 10m. Both slow as road trains alas but best big air & long floaty jumping kites I've tried (tried both in 28-30knots), I love them for that... just for that though.
I also tried a few other kites including the Naish Pivot from last year, but it wasn't my thing. Almost no power in the kite loops frustrated me a bit, even though the jumps are nice and long.
The LINX BAR (2018):
I really like it: very simple, thin, adjustable width at the end for smaller kites sizes, perfect bar. Only comment: they forgot the slider/stopper to do hands-off-the-bar tricks such as the deadman... I'll have to find a solution for that, any suggestions? That won't bother many of us though. 4.5/5
- Conditions: I tried the 9m in gusty 25-40 knots and the 11m in 15-30knots, both in the waves and flat water.
- Set Up / inflation : very fast and easy, unusual pump connection called the Reactor Valve on the kite but it works great. Self launch & land easy, relaunch is very easy. Bag and pump: good and strong, who cares? 5/5
- Materials : The kite feels strong and light. Most big brands like North, F-One, Naish... seem to invest in their R&D and even though kites performance haven't improved radically in the last 10 years (the best kites back then), the materials definitely have. They have a good reputation for durability and seem to have the right balance of reinforcements and protections over weight. So I'm happy with that. 5/5
- Stability and behavior : The Bandit is very stable and I felt straight away at ease in all conditions, easy to understand and to pilot as well as getting some very high performance out of it in no time.
- Turning speed: very fast turning, easy to steer, medium/light bar pressure for the 11m and light for 9m (I only tried the medium settings though, there is a lighter and a heavier setting on the kite back lines attachments), easy to control with one hand while feeling where the kite is without looking at it. Perfect. 5/5
- Kite loops: This Bandit is a kite loop machine, so much fun, easy to get a fast turn with steady gentle power to finish a jump or trick, and also easy to get lot more grunts if you pull a bit less hard on the bar and get a slower turn. It invites you to be more playful and adventurous. Perfect. 5/5
- High End: They depower instantly when pushing the bar, it's very impressive and so convenient. That allows you to ride big size in very high winds without being worried. The Rebel and the Edge V9 have that great depower too, excellent high end. I tried the 9m in 45 knots gusty winds and it was so much fun, jumps forever. 5/5
- Low End: I tried the 11m in 14-15knots and it was easy to go upwind, do some jumps and small tricks. Not a dedicated light wind kite or a low end grunt machine but excellent for me. 5/5
- Jumping: It's a great jumping kite, goes high with a great boost/lift and lands gently with or without kiteloop. It requires a touch of technique to go super high but it's easy to find the timing. The Bandit doesn't float as long as some other big air/floaty kites (Rebel & Edge), which are usually heavy and slow turning. 4.5/5 for air time and 5/5 for height.
- Waves: I didn't get a lot of time in the waves but it felt versatile and awesome for that, it drifts enough (not as much as a pure wave kite but I find those hard to use for anything else that wave downwinders). Though mono-directional boards are not (yet) my field of expertise, Mitu Monteiro would be a better reference to show what this kite can do in waves :) 5/5
So overall, the Bandit XI is an amazing combo of high performances, I've never ridden a kite that does so much so well. There's usually a trade off if you want a specialized kite for waves, or jumps or un-hooked,.. and this one hits the best notes in the disciplines I prefer, and probably too in those I'm not venturing (yet) much into. It's such a fun machine.
I think I'll use the 11m for < 35knots and the 9m for > 30knots for optimal fun and boost, even though they'd be fine outside these wind ranges. I could do 99% of kiting here in QLD solely with the 11m if I wanted a one kite quiver, but I know that my gf will love that 9m when she gets back into it, so one stone / two birds.
As always, I suggest not to spend too much time reading the marketing blabla of the brands, the best way to chose your kite is unarguably to demo it if you get the chance! I know the F-One national dealer does demo them on the Gold Coast, otherwise ask your local kite shop.
Good luck and have fun!
Hi mate,
Thanks for your input, great review. I've also heard a lot of great stuff about those Bandits but haven't had a chance to try one yet. I see quite few of those on the beach here and I must say they seem fun. I'll see if I can borrow one.
I've been riding Rebel for ages and I agree, they're slow as and jumping is heaven. It really depends what your into and there are no kite that do everything the best. I also tried the Ozone Edge v9 and it jumps better than the Rebel, only by a notch but it's even heavier and slower.
For me it's time for an upgrade, Bandit is first on my list.
Great review! I have been riding Bandits for 11 years, tried so many other brands and always come back to it. I completely agree with everything you say; this kite is extremely fun, performs very well and is so easy to control. I do a bit of wakestyle and foil as well and it works extremely well too.
I'm quite surprised you take your 11m in up to 35 knots though . I usually switch to my 9 from 20-25 knots and I'm 85kg... probably because I am more focused on wakestyle and kiteloops than hang time. My preferred conditions are 30-50 knots with the 9m, it's so much fun...
Hi Lynxmo0,
Thanks. Yes you're right, I use the 11m in up to 35knots because it is great for airtime and old school big jumps and tricks, I'm a bit more careful on the kiteloops in the upper end :)
The wind range per size you suggest would be the most comfortable and recommended use I think. I just like riding overpowered.
50knots must be fun in the 9m! Can't wait to try that out but it doesn't happen very often in SE QLD.
WA seems more generous with high winds than here.
Have you tried the 12m?
Yeah, I got 9m and 12m and don't need anything else due to the wind range this kite can offer. I use my 9m 90% of the time but I usually don't bother going out under 20 knots ... WA can indeed be very generous!
Please post just prior to your next 50kn session on your 9m in WA, and I'll scoot down and watch.
+1 This reveiw sounds as desparate as the Buzz thread already....same poster opens 2 new accounts at the same time.
That doesnt carry any real weight ........
There's been more bandit reviews this year than Cauncy has posted about his fixation with Plummet and sheep.. Sheepzas!
Hi Greenarrowz,
I like those conspiracy theories. Though it's a genuine review, I bought my gear recently from Briskites in Brisbane from Jason & Travis (I got the last ones), nothing suspicious there.
I've been reading the seabreeze forum for a while and getting sometimes good info out of it, and I finally contributed with something worth sharing.
I see you regularly sell some Switch gear, big fan or rep I don't know and it's cool to support a brand, be open minded that some other toys can be really cool too.
I haven't tried those yet but keen to test if I see one around.
Great session on Tuesday in Brighton with the Bandit 11m in Brighton in 15-30knots winds. This kite jumps really high and actually floats even better with 1-2cm of depower on the front lines (full power seem to over-sheet a touch). I had so much fun with board off tricks and some other old school moves I didn't dare trying before with other kites.

Desperate as can be. Heap of turd. 11 year old design with 3 pulleys and a bridle that still wraps. Might as well buy a best nemesis.

Have you tried it? Loving these kites and never had the bridles wrapping...
The new bandit is a terrible kite, terrible at everything.
Disclaimer: I've never ridden a bandit kite before.
Thought I'd just add some more of the usual great information you get on here.
Desperate as can be. Heap of turd. 11 year old design with 3 pulleys and a bridle that still wraps. Might as well buy a best nemesis.
Wrong, wrong, wrong and wrong again:
- the design is reviewed and improved every year
- 2 pulleys each side
- bridles do not wrap on latest versions and very rarely did it before
- Best don't exist anymore

But have you tried the latest Toyota Yaris? Heaps better than previous model's with heaps of changes and no deadly air bags so there shouldn't be any unforeseen injuries to buyer's! Bit like those kites with the deadliest history in kites to date. Just Google it.. Ffs..
For those that have actually tried the bandit 2018's have you played with the lone settings? I always used to change my rear lines to the third setting furthest from the wing tip or heavier baroressure setting as found that best setting for good jumps and loops and stopped the canopy flap or whirring noise through loops a little. Does the new bandit still fly better on that setting and jump better on it or is it better in the middle setting on this newer one?

MOOSIC, PA — MOOSIC, Pa. -- Orioles pitcher Sid Fernandez turned in his second strong rehab performance, leading the Triple-A Rochester Red Wings to a 7-4 win over Scranton/Wilkes-Barre last night.
Fernandez, scheduled to make his Orioles debut Sunday against Texas, pitched four innings and said he experienced no shoulder problems.
After a 1-2-3 first inning, Fernandez ran into some second-inning difficulties when he surrendered his only two runs and three hits.
"I had a little problem pitching out of the stretch," he said. "Then I got in a groove."
Fernandez, who walked one and struck out four, retired the last nine batters.
"I threw a lot of changeups and was happy with that," said Fernandez, who threw 51 strikes in 69 pitches. "The fastball doesn't take so long so I worked on my other pitch [curve]. I really felt good the last two innings."
Orioles general manager Roland Hemond was at the game and said, "I was very pleased."

Here we are! The finale of season 2. Yet another year has gone by in which we have proved the gypsy wrong!
Our extra-sized season closer (even for this notoriously long-winded show), in what is becoming a weird tradition, ranges far and wide over Marvel's great trade dress reimagining of last fall, Marvel Now. Is it a reboot? Is it a marketing ploy? Why are there two X-Force books that aren't very good? We discuss all this and more.
Plus that Hickman guy's name may come up once or twice in passing.
Season 2 of the Stack wraps up in typically ridiculous fashion. See you on the other side.

This week we are rather profanely talking about the David Milch HBO Western Deadwood, famous for Al Swearengen and more f-bombs per minute than David Mamet's discarded drafts for Glengarry.
Seriously, folks, the explicit tag on this episode is not meant ironically. Very, very explicit.
But we have a lot of fun talking about a show we really, really love, and that you should too. Unless you're a hooplehead.

This week we are taking a look at TRUTH: RED, WHITE, AND BLACK, a book you may not have read. And if you want to read it that's going to be very hard, because it's out of print. And that sucks, because you should read it. It's incredible. Written by Robert Morales and drawn by Kyle Baker, TRUTH is the story of a second Super Soldier program in World War II that experimented on African-American soldiers, and the repercussions that had in the 1940s and today.
It's an astounding book, and the fact that it's out of print makes your faithful podcast hosts about as angry as you've ever heard them. If you have read it, or you manage to get your hands on it, you will very quickly learn why.
The Stack - yeah, Marvel, we called you a travesty. And we mean it.

President Donald Trump will not be filling out a bracket for the 2017 men's and women's basketball tournaments on ESPN this year, snapping former President Barack Obama's tradition.
"We expressed our interest to the White House in continuing the presidential bracket," ESPN said in a statement Wednesday. "They have respectfully declined."
Each March, Obama agreed to fill the brackets out and discuss his picks on SportsCenter with senior ESPN reporter Andy Katz.
"He wasn't as dialed into every player or team but had conversational knowledge to offer his own analysis on the NCAA tournament for the men's and women's game. Baracketology was a success because it was clear he was a fan of the sport and the NCAA tournament, like millions of other Americans," Katz told the Washington Post.
"We look forward to working with ESPN on another opportunity in the near future," White House spokesperson Hope Hicks in an email response.
2010: Obama picks Kansas; Championship winner: Duke
2011: Obama picks Kansas; Championship winner: Connecticut
2012: Obama picks North Carolina; Championship winner: Kentucky
2013: Obama picks Indiana; Championship winner: Louisville
2014: Obama picks Michigan St.; Championship winner: Connecticut
2015: Obama picks Kentucky; Championship winner: Duke
2016: Obama picks Kansas; Championship winner: Villanova

Lunch plans: Posy naps, burrito bowl*, Seinfeld re-runs.

The recall is due to a design defect where the lithium ion battery packs overheat, posing a risk of the hoverboard smoking, catching fire and even exploding. Most of the defective "hoverboards" were purchased from June of 2015 to May of 2016 for between $350 and $900.
According to the Wall Street Journal, self-balancing scooters that don't meet a new safety standard that governs the electrical drive train system, including the battery and charger system have been recalled. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission endorsed the standard, called UL 2272, in February.
To date, defective "hoverboards" have caused over $11 million in property damage, and according to the U.S. Consumer Protection Safety Commission, have caused 99 incidents where the design defect caused an injury.
This tendency for these "hoverboards" to overheat and catch fire is one reason why the New York City Transit Authority has banned them not only from use on trains and platforms, but from even being carried by pedestrians on its properties and vehicles.
The U.S. C.P.S.C. warns consumers to immediately stop using these recalled products and to contact the recalling company. Click here to see which companies are participating in the recall. Companies will be offering full refunds, free repairs or a free replacement depending on the model.
If you or someone you know has been injured by a "hoverboard" scooter, we advise you to contact our office immediately so that you can reserve all your legal rights and remedies.

Hi, I set up a draft nightly build call "Flex SDK nightly build". People who have access can you take a look and see that it's ok. It's currently disabled and wouldn't work if was run. We need to: 1. Work out how to download the optional bits (Air SDK, Flash debug player and playerglobal.swc). The easy way to do this would be to provide an ant script (or a target in the main script not run by default) that Jenkins can run. This ant script (or target) would need to be checked into SVN. 2. Fix paths of environment variables. Also as the environment variable for the Flash debug player is OS specific we probably need to specify an OS and lock the build to a machine running that OS. Perhaps it would be better if this environment variable just specified the path the flash debugger and the ANT script take care of the OS specific bit? Some other notes. 1. I've set the build timeout to 15 minutes this may need to be modified. 2. How many nightly builds do we want to keep? I've set it to 7. 3. I've set the build script to use Java 1.6 and Ant 1.7. 4. There's no antconrib installed but for the main target that's fine (I believe) but we may run into issues with other targets later. How do we wont to deal with this? 5. It emails notification of broken builds to firstname.lastname@example.com Thanks, Justin

Bill could cripple efforts to manage land for resiliency, species protection
Shortsighted legislation redefining "conservation" and restricting the ability of state land managers to consider the diversity of Michigan's flora and fauna when managing state lands and forests has passed the Michigan State Senate by a 26-11 party line vote this morning.
The Michigan Environmental Council and the Stewardship Network will seek defeat of the measure, Senate Bill 78, in the House of Representatives, and will urge Governor Rick Snyder to veto the bill should it reach his desk.
"This is terrible legislation," said Brad Garmon, director of conservation and emerging issues for the Michigan Environmental Council. "It undercuts one of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources' (DNR) chief missions – to protect and enhance the diversity and splendor of Michigan's woodlands and forests."
The bill undermines important tools used by the DNR to manage land, including the Michigan Endangered Species Act, weakening the state's ability to protect unique Michigan assets that contribute to the economy and Michiganders' quality of life.
"Scientific land management for biodiversity is a healthy and accepted philosophy that would be forced underground by this legislation," said Lisa Brush, executive director of The Stewardship Network. "Removing science and biology from land and forest management is an irresponsible rejection of good natural resources practices."
Healthy forests provide diverse opportunities for recreation, flood and pollution control, and protection against invasive species and commercial activities like logging. Undermining the ability of the DNR to manage for multiple uses is a sweeping change in philosophy that fundamentally narrows the mission of the agency and puts our forests at risk.
Michigan can rightfully boast about our Great Lakes and our incredibly rich array of different plant, animal and natural communities. Protecting, enhancing and restoring that biological diversity in our forests, fisheries and dunes – among the most biologically diverse of any state in the country – is both scientifically sound and good economics. In addition to creating great places to camp, hike, hunt and see nature, managing lands for ecosystem health and genetic resilience ensures that our forests can survive new invasive species and other threats.
The intent of SB 78, introduced by lead sponsor Sen. Tom Casperson, is purportedly to stop implementation of a very specific program – the DNR's proposed "Living Legacies" (often referred to as the Biodiversity Stewardship Area) program.
If that were its only target, it would still be bad policy. The Living Legacies program is not a "set aside" that would lock up land. It's the opposite. It's a management tool, designed to help the state and private landowners recognize and understand where intact and "functional" natural communities exist, or could most easily be reestablished. By enhancing these places through normal land management activities (including selective timber harvest and responsible outdoor recreation), Michigan would grow stronger economically as our great outdoors become more ecologically stable, more beautiful, more genetically resilient and more fun to play in.
Regardless, the bill is not specific to the Living Legacies program. It is a set of sweeping changes to the scientific principles that guide all state land management. Specifically, it amends current law to:
- Revise the definition of "conservation" with regard to biological diversity, removing key provisions regarding restoration, distribution and the "continued existence" of native species and communities.
- Prohibit the DNR or Natural Resources Commission from promulgating or enforcing a rule or an order that designates or classifies an area of land specifically for the purpose of achieving or maintaining biological diversity, and provide that no other state agency would be required to do so either (the only portion specifically targeting the proposed BSA program).
- Delete the conservation of biological diversity from the DNR's duties regarding forest management, and require the Department to balance its management activities with economic values.
- Eliminate a requirement that the DNR manage forests in a manner that promotes restoration.
- Delete a legislative finding that most losses of biological diversity are the result of human activity.
SB 78's stunning assumption is that the perpetual survival of native species and natural communities is not of critical importance to Michigan and its residents.
In addition to undermining Michigan's commitment to common sense, science-based natural resources management, the legislation may also endanger other DNR programs like forest certification, and put at risk areas that have long enabled people to see and appreciate Michigan's amazing natural assets.
Places such as Hartwick Pines, Haven Hill and others are managed in part based on their biodiversity values, but are also popular places to experience Michigan's wildlife, history and cultural icons.

BORROWERS who have opted for interest-only mortgages were warned today they may be storing up trouble for themselves.
The danger arises because fewer borrowers are bothering to back their interest-only deals with an alternative long-term repayment scheme.
The number of interest-only deals has risen steeply on the back of last year's base rate rises, according to My Mortgage Direct, the broker and advisory service .
Since the beginning of 2004, 35 per cent - more than a third of MMD's clients have opted for an interest-only deal.
"We are seeing increasing numbers of borrowers opting for interest-only deals," said managing director Paul Hearnden. "Borrowers have clearly been squeezed by higher base rates, hence the interest-only choice for many.
"Repayments are considerably lower in the short term, but many buyers will be in for a shock many years down the road when the mortgage is due to be paid off.
"It is our experience that borrowers are arranging their mortgage deals first with the intention of putting a repayment vehicle in place at a later date - but good intentions don't necessarily turn into reality."
Hearnden says there's an indication of a major problem building up for millions of borrowers who are still taking the view that their property will grow significantly in value over the course of the mortgage term.
Trouble in store for borrowers
BORROWERS who have opted for interest-only mortgages were warned today they may be storing up trouble for themselves.

… But into what exactly? As deadly battles rage on throughout the country, and the international community continues to differ any decision on intervention to some undermined point in a seemingly mythical near future, in the hope that the situation will miraculously work itself out, somehow, while, somehow, producing all the "right" results, Syria's myriad opposition groups and coalitions are now rushing headlong to form myriad competing transitional governments, each armed with its own detailed transitional plan. Moreover, we now have the Americans and the Germans competing to take credit for helping some in the Syrian opposition form a transitional plan in what was supposed to be an exercise wholly-owned by the Syrians! But initial suppositions change, I guess, especially when the Americans and the Germans need to show that they are doing something at a time when they are doing absolutely nothing. Meanwhile, the killing, the pounding of cities, the cold-blooded massacres, continue, unfettered, unabated, unrelenting. Oh, this will be the Mother of All Transitions all right. But again, into what exactly?

Op-Eds & Special Reports
Syria's Kurds Unite against Assad, but Not with Opposition A sudden political shift among Syria's three million Kurds, who now control much of the country's border with Turkey, provides an opportunity for the United States to better coordinate its policy with regional allies and to encourage the Syrian opposition to respect minority rights.
As Syrian War Drags On, Jihadists Take Bigger Role As the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad's government grinds on with no resolution in sight, Syrians involved in the armed struggle say it is becoming more radicalized: homegrown Muslim jihadists, as well as small groups of fighters from Al Qaeda, are taking a more prominent role and demanding a say in running the resistance.
Spinmeister Ammar al-Wawi Peddles Upbeat Message of Syrian Rebellion As the Assad regime bombards Aleppo, the rebels are desperate not only to repel the military, but to shore up morale and build outside support. Ammar al-Wawi, the Free Syrian Army's leading spin doctor, tells Mike Giglio the government is "like the walking dead."
For besieged Syrian dictator Assad, only exit may be body bag "In his mind he is fighting against the imperialists and their pernicious allies for the people of Syria," Lesch said. "He believes that's his legacy. Perhaps that is the way he will want to go down."
Syria rebels suspicious over defector's motives Ammar Abdulhamid, a Washington-based Syrian dissident, said that while Tlass could provide valuable information, the opposition on the ground will not accept him as a leader. After so many months of "confrontations and sacrifice," he said, "legitimate leaders of the transitional period can only rise from the ranks of the internal revolutionary movement."
In cooperation with Impunity Watch and the Summer Institute for Human Rights and Genocide Studies in Buffalo, it's my pleasure to announce the launch of the "I Am Syria" Campaign - an effort designed to raise awareness in the U.S. and the world regarding the revolution in Syria and the massacres perpetrated daily by pro-Assad militias and troops, highlighting the need for immediate international action.

The Battle for Aleppo City
One of the main factors helping the rebels in their fight for the city so far is the increased number of desertions in Assad armies, while not all deserters are choosing to become defectors at this stage, but clearly, and as reports by locals who came in contact with the deserters and often provided them shelter, soldiers in Assad's army, especially the Sunnis, are becoming increasingly aware and resentful of their role as fodder. Many are also clearly ill-fed as well as ill-informed about the situation, they don't believe their commanders, but they don't enough about the rebels to know if they could trust them. Many just want to go home to their families, or at least they regions.

Beat Girls, Love Tribes, Real Cool Cats draft cover & pre-order information
I'm incredibly proud to be able to show you the draft cover to the upcoming book I've co-edited with Iain McIntyre, Beat Girls, Love Tribes & Real Cool Cats: Pulp Fiction & Youth Culture from the 1950s to 1980s.
Iain and I were both keen to do an examination of pulp fiction that went beyond simply focusing on paperback covers, as most pulp fiction related books do and I am sure we and the twenty plus writers who contributed to this tome, have delivered.
Beat Girls is first comprehensive account of the rise of youth culture and mass-market paperback fiction in the postwar period in the US, UK and Australia. It is not just a comprehensive selection of covers, but an in-depth look at the authors, how they worked and what influenced them. It is a must-read for anyone interested in retro and subcultural style and popular fiction.
As the young created new styles in music, fashion and culture, pulp fiction followed their every step, hyping and exploiting their behavior and language for mass consumption. From the juvenile delinquent gangs of the early fifties, through the beats and hippies, on to bikers, skinheads and punks, pulp fiction left no trend untouched. Boasting wild covers and action-packed plots, these books reveal as much about society's desires and fears as they do about the subcultures themselves.… Read more

Pulp Friday: Shake Him Till He Rattles
Drifting between a very cool girl and a very warm one… A funky nighttime love story, so vivid you can taste it, hear it, feel it…
Today's Pulp Friday is a story of sexual jealously, drug use, lost opportunities and jazz, set in the San Francisco suburb of North Beach, ground zero of the West Coast beat scene in the early sixties.
Fawcett Gold Medal first published Shake Him Till He Rattles in 1963. The story centres on a horn-playing beatnik called Cabiness, the target of some very unwelcome attention on the part of a junkie vice cop, Carver. Not only does Carver have it in for jazz musicians, he believes Cabiness is a major player in the North Beach drug scene and wants to turn him into his snitch.
Cabiness is not a major criminal. He's not a major anything, really. His only aim in life is to "smoke a little pot and blow my horn", much to the chagrin of his girlfriend, Jean, who is getting tired of the scene. She hassles him about wasting his talent. To which he replies: "Music is just music until you start trying to sell it; then it changes in a lot of ways. A lot of things change. You end up with a product….… Read more
Announcing Beat Girls, Love Tribes and Real Cool Cats: Pulp Fiction and Youth Culture, 1950 – 1980
Regular Pulp Curry readers will be aware of my deep interest in pulp fiction. What you won't know, is I've been working for a while now on a pulp fiction related book with another Melbourne writer called Iain McIntyre.
I'm thrilled to announce this book, currently titled Beat Girls, Love Tribes and Real Cool Cats: Pulp Fiction and Youth Culture, 1950 – 1980, will be published by Verse Chorus Press in October 2015.
The book will be the definitive look at youth and counter cultural pulp fiction from Australia, the United States and the UK. It will feature contributions from over twenty writers and includes reviews, feature articles and author interviews. These will cover all aspects of youth and counter cultural related pulp fiction, starting with juvenile delinquency and gang pulp in the fifties, Beats and bohemians in the early sixties, to hippies, bikers, musicians, Mods, punks, and everything in between.
The book will also feature a large selection of covers from the books concerned.
Some of the pulp writers we cover you might know. But there'll be a lot more you probably haven't heard of. One thing we can guarantee is that the words "guilty pleasure" will not be mentioned once to describe their work.
This is a book about mainstream society's obsession with the notion of out of control youth, and the pulp fiction that capitalised on the fascination, fears and desires associated with it.… Read more

The Beat(en) Generation: What Inside LIewyn Davis says about how we live now
You don't have to be doing hard yards in some area of the creative arts to empathise with the lead character in the Coen brothers' latest offering, Inside LIewyn Davis – but it doesn't hurt. Like the brilliant 1991 film, Barton Fink, Davis is a Kafkaesque take on the financial, emotional and existential struggle to create, however you want to define it.
It is also the latest in a wave of recent films to showcase the enduring cultural power exercised by the generation of post-Second World War writers who came to prominence in the late fifties, known collectively as the Beats.
That Davis is major homage to the Beats is signposted in the film's opening scene, with Llewyn doing his solo guitar act at the Gaslight Café, a famous real life coffee house located in Greenwich Village, New York, the epicentre of Beat culture in the late fifties and early sixties. The Gaslight was known as 'a basket establishment'. Entertainers would pass around a basket at the end of their set hoping to be paid. Performers who appeared there at some stage included what was to be a who-is-who of the American folk scene.
You can read the rest of this article over at the Overland magazine website.

Be the Agent of Change
I've worked within a lot of big companies – corporations even. From post secondary institutions to Canada's largest private broadcaster, I've been a spoke in the wheel for a many years. I've worked for myself too (which is fantastic and not so fantastic depending on the day), but being part of a machine is a whole different beast.
While working within these larger companies, I am often part of a team of misfits going against the grain. Trying to move the company in a new direction. Going where no one has gone before (ok, that's a stretch, but you get the idea).
Adding digital to the mix
When I joined the team at Thrifty Foods in 2010, there were a few fellow web lovers on the marketing team, and we set about moving the ship in a new direction. We had a lonely YouTube channel and a Twitter account started by an interested member of the team – but it wasn't part of her regular job. It wasn't even part of my job, but more on that in another post.
How do you make a plan to add digital to the mix?
Get educated. Be the cheerleader. Be the Agent of Change.
You have to know your stuff. Read up every morning, watch brands you respect, and most importantly share the stories with your co-workers, your boss and everyone else who will listen. Get your team together, start hatching a plan.
If you're already in motion or just getting started, curate a morning reading list (so that you have great info to share). Here are a few places I check out for inspiration. I'm always looking for creative ways to spark interest within our audience.
- Fast Company talks web and business with a fresh and innovative approach and tells stories about brands that are standing out. Great for inspiration.
- Harvard Business Review Blog is written by the some of brightest business minds out there and they talk web and much more. A recent post was titled "Battling your Online Addiction" – at least I know it's not just me!
- Mashable – if social media had a water cooler, this would be it. Rumours and plenty of real info are posted endlessly, and there's lots of great info here for beginners too. It's the site I tell anyone new to social to start with.
What do you read about social – I would love to know!
Anything about Thrifty Foods' online presence you'd like to know? Fire away!
Until next time, Sarah.

My colleagues know I love taking pictures, and they know I love anything that goes on in London (that's free of course!). So one of my friends / colleague, who I am going to call Mrs SweetTooth (because she loves chocolates and sweets) suggested I go to this Ice Sculpting Festival at Canary Wharf. Oooo. I've never been to one before, and I actually wanted to go to one as I saw a recent news footage of a place in China that has just opened an ice sculptured city for people to go to and play.
|Ice Sculpting Festival 11th - 13th January 2013
I was going to go with Mrs SweetTooth, but I ended up yesterday going with Miss Pinky instead!! Miss Pinky lives really close to the area, so it made sense for us to go together in this freezing weather... The festival started on Friday 11th, and ends today (don't know what time, sorry). So if you have the chance to go, go quickly!!
When we got to Canary Wharf, we didn't know which way to go, so we followed the crowd. Miss Pinky spotted this one... A pretty sculptured dolphin. Wow!! These sculptors must practice a lot!!
|I like this dolphin sculpture ^^
We walked down further and there were more activities and sculptures...
|People chipping at ice ^^
|Giant Chess Set
|Nice chess piece!
Then we saw an arena full of people and ice sculptures! It was amazing, although we had to go around a different path to get to the entrance. What we found down there were food stands and different countries competing with each other to see who sculptured the best ice sculpture, as well as a snow pit for children, and people trying to make their own sculptures! :D
|Read those instructions!! So funny!!
|Snow rink for the children
|People sculpting away
|Wow so many people... I'm sure there were loads earlier in the day!
|So much ice...
The sculptures... (I seem to have missed out on the Belgium one!)...
|United Kingdom
|The UK design on paper
It was amazing seeing all these sculptures! And now here's a couple of the interesting food stands.
|Swedish Food!
|Curiosity Cola - Interesting name!! ^_^
Here's a couple of events that were happening at the shopping centre...
|Sculpting in the Shopping Centre
|Other children's activities... not sure if this was part of the festival :P
Here's the ice rink near the shopping centre.
|The ice rink!
In the end, Miss Pinky and I ended up in Wahaca... I'm afraid it was bad... Cold food (the taquito, but the sweet potato was hot), and a manager who thought the food will be delayed by 30 minutes... Miss Pinky's was lukewarm... Didn't want to disappoint the waitress as she was so nice, so I said that the food was 'ok'...
|My cold food at Wahaca in Canary Wharf... disappointed...
Yesterday there was a surge of people wanting to eat food. I'm sure there will be today too!!
If you live near Canary Wharf, go NOW!!

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - Lonmin, the world's third-largest platinum producer, on Tuesday conceded that sacking 3,000 striking workers at its Marikana mine near Johannesburg, South Africa, could lead to more violence.
Police last week opened fire on strikers armed with machetes and sticks, killing 34 and raising the death toll from the week-long dispute to 44.
"It won't help anyone if Lonmin goes out and dismisses a whole lot of people for not coming to work today. It will set us back significantly in terms of violence, in terms of building trust," Mark Munroe, Lonmin executive vice-president for mining, told a local radio station on Tuesday morning.
London-based Lonmin on Monday extended its ultimatum for striking workers to return to duty to Tuesday morning, but workers continued to trickle in as the deadline expired.
The company said that 30 percent of the 28,000-strong workforce reported for work on Monday, with some shafts reporting a 60 percent attendance.
"We are not going to go out to actively try to fire anyone, but also there are consequences for someone who is not coming to work," Munroe added.
Lonmin, which accounts for 12 percent of global platinum output, was forced last week to freeze mining as a result of the violence, but essential services such as ventilation were maintained so the mines could quickly restart production.
The platinum producer's shares have tumbled almost 13 percent in Johannesburg in the past five days, with the price of platinum climbing to a two-month high of $1,492.99 an ounce on Monday.

A plumbing company claims the lead contractor on the Chester PPL Park soccer stadium project owes it nearly $600,000 for work performed, according to an attorney's letter the Daily Times obtained from a source close to the project.
The letter from attorney Wally Zimolong to the Delaware County Chester Waterfront Industrial Redevelopment Authority said the project's general contractor, TN Ward, owes $580,689 to plumbing company J. Rihl Inc., also known as Costa & Rihl.
"We just want to see that payment is rightfully made," said Zimolong Wednesday.
He claims in the letter that TN Ward also owes several other subcontractors for work they performed, but gave no specific examples.
TN Ward did not return a call for comment Wednesday.
Zimolong's letter is addressed to the chair of the authority -- currently Chester Mayor Wendell N. Butler -- because it is the "contracting body" under state law and owns the land where the stadium is situated.
Under state law, the "contracting body" is supposed to require the lead contractor on any particular project to post a payment bond that ensures subcontractors are paid, according to Zimolong's letter. He claims the authority failed to do that here.
The letter serves as formal warning that Zimolong's firm will seek damages from the authority unless Costa & Rihl is paid. The letter also warns of an impending mechanics lien against the project if payment is not made within 30 days.
The stadium was built using $30 million in county money obtained from slots revenues at Harrah's Chester Casino and Racetrack that had to be dedicated to development, as well as $47 million in state funds.
"Obviously, we would like to avoid having to seek legal action against the (authority) for its failure to require TN Ward to post a payment bond and to enforce a mechanics lien claim," Zimolong said in the letter. "We assume the (authority) would also like to avoid the embarrassment of having the public know that millions in public funds have not gone to pay the subcontractors that completed the project."
Neither Delaware County Commerce Director Pat Killian nor authority board Chairman Chester Mayor Wendell N. Butler could be reached for comment Wednesday.
Authority board member and County Council Chairman Jack Whelan said the board was informed of some payment problems a few months ago, but said that was due to a question of whether public or private money was supposed to be used to pay contractors.
Whelan said the board voted to approve payment for all contractors on the project at that time. He was unsure Wednesday if this letter was related to that issue or something new.

Online Essay Writing/online essay writing services
Online essay writing serves many purposes. It is sometimes done for admission application while, in most cases, it is done to as an assignment as per the course requirements. However, it does not matter really what the purpose of the product is. For a writer, what matters most is the mastery of the skills. This is the basic criteria that cut across various types of assignments. So what are some of these basic tips for online essay writing?
Target Audience
First, it is vital to acknowledge your audience. The simplicity or, otherwise, complexity of a report or article depends on the intended audience or readers. Sometimes the target reader is an ordinary person. For this general-knowledge type of online essay writing, it is essential that the writer does not use technical language in presenting information. Vocabulary words required for conference-type presentations should be avoided for the ordinary reader. This is essential because, the reader may not understand the messages contained in materials produced via the online essay writing. However, for academic assignments or industry-level papers, vocabulary matters. There are terms that are essential in communicating with fellow professionals. The layman language is not suited for this type of communication. The bottom-line is that an online essay writing expert should know their audience. This is the rule in marketing materials. People do not have time to read a lot of material. Theirs is no time to consult dictionaries for meanings of technical words. Readers just drop materials if they are too complex for their understanding. The loser is the reader because his or her message has not been perceived.
Assignment Guidelines
The other thing about online essay writing is that it is essential to follow instructions. In academic work, the secret to passing examinations is to follow instructions provided for every task. Normally, an assignment has instructions that specify certain elements of what is required of the student. For instance, each paper is written following a particular format or style. The style that should be used for online essay writing is always specified by the instructor giving the assignment. For this reason, a student expects completed assignments that respect rules of the format. Therefore, spacing, numbering, and the general organization of content must respect the guidelines of the format. Online essay writing is a professional practice. It should be based on scientific specifications for academic work. The work produced must follow professional formats whether APA, MLA, or others. Regardless of the nature of an assignment, writers should follow the specific rules relating to the format chosen.
Editing Content
Online essay writing also depends on editing for quality. It is not possible to produce a perfect paper on the first attempt. As a norm, writers begin with a draft. This means that the attention of the writer is not geared towards avoiding mistakes. Basic errors such as misspelling and wrong words can occur during draft making process. This is understandable. However, online essay writing processes must ensure that editing occurs. Editing is important because it ensures that originality is upheld. Plagiarism is a crime in online essay writing. In fact, examination rules include stiff penalties for students who engage in plagiarism. Therefore, it is vital that writers conduct sufficient editing to eliminate all errors that occur during the drafting process of online essay writing.

Hong Kong and Singapore are port cities sharing similar backgrounds. Both are former colonies within the British empire whose strategic geographical locations enabled their development as major regional hubs and inevitable rivals in many sectors.
In the 21st century, both pursue innovation-driven growth, but their political situations are increasingly divergent. Hong Kong celebrates its 20th year as a Special Administrative Region in China in 2017, while Singapore marked 50 years of nationhood in 2015. In the international arena, Hong Kong has effectively become part of China whereas Singapore still carefully negotiates its way as an island state.
In the course of the workshop, experts will provide up-to-date insights on the post-colonial development of Singapore and Hong Kong, with keynote speeches and panel discussions that compare their development models in the political, economic and cultural domains. Through comparative perspective, the workshop aims to map the prospects of these global metropolises and project their development in the next decade.
