SOME of the attacking football we have seen at this World Cup has been fantastic – and I hope Blackburn take note and start the new season the way we finished the last.
We have to play to our strengths and whereas at the start of last season our strength was being solid, our strength now is in our wide players, our attacking midfielders like Tom Cairney, and our strikers.
Liverpool proved in the Premier League last season that attacking football can take you a long way and the best teams in Brazil have proved that too.
Now obviously we don't have the talent of the players in those teams.
But we showed at the back end of last season that we can outscore teams.
It reminds me of my time playing under my old Rovers team-mate, Ossie Ardiles, at West Brom, all those years ago.
His idea was 'the opposition may score two but we'll definitely score three'.
As a striker I loved it as I was getting eight or nine half-chances or chances a game.
And as long as you've got a couple of centre halves who can defend and are decent on the ball, I can't see anything wrong with going out to win games.
It makes football more exciting and enjoyable to watch. Don't get me wrong, it's impossible to do it in every game all season.
There are going to be times when you think, 'hang on, it's not working, we're going to have to step off it a bit and do a bit more defending', and that's obviously an important part of the game.
But you've got to play to your strengths and looking at the squad Gary Bowyer has got in place you'd have to say its strength lies in attack.
The question now is where David Dunn fits into it all. I see his contract situation is yet to be sorted and, as I've said before, I hope it does because I want him to stay at Blackburn for as long as he can.
Obviously he's not going to play every game next season, much like he did not play every game last season, but he's still such an influential figure at the football club.
He gives Gary the option of doing something different as it's looking clear we'll be playing 4-4-2 next season.
Hopefully that will have a real focus on taking the game to the opposition.

A Met Office forecaster has warned folk in Northern Ireland that "a significant cold" will start next Sunday and Monday - and last for over a week.
Meteorologist Martin Bowles said that while temperatures will be around 3 degrees celsius during the day and -2 degrees celsius at night - "it will feel much, much colder with a biting easterly wind".
Look at this from the Met Office
"Northern Ireland is not getting the coldest of the conditions but colder than average," he said.
"There has been a lot of talk of snow, but actually there won't be a lot of snow in Northern Ireland.There probably will be a few flurries but it is not likely to settle.
"But there is going to be a profound wind chill, so those temperatures I just told you, will feel like five degrees less.
"Northern Ireland is not going to miss the arctic blast - but the snow associated with it is not coming so much.
"There is very cold air coming from Russia across the UK and Northern Ireland."
He said the bitterly cold weather was set to last all next week and into the following week and could include the "start of Spring on March 1".
He added: "At some point we may get some weather warnings.
"It is time to wrap up against that easterly wind
"It will be dry air so hopefully not much ice around."

Just quickly before I begin - I have no financial interest in this product other than as a customer and have not been offered anything by anyone to write this. I'm writing the review purely because I found the program interesting.
Geves - how it works
The good
While it's possible to go to an individual person's view and enter information, Geves is based around the idea of entering data from a source document. The best way to start is not adding details to a person view, but by choosing the type of source you want to insert.
The program gives a reasonable selection of data entry forms for England, Scotland and Wales and some general purpose forms. If the birth death or marriage form you want isn't there (eg I need Australian certificates) you can choose the most similar form and adapt it to your needs. That didn't work too badly with my Australian BMD records for data entry but they do end up labelled as the wrong type of certificate which is annoying.
Here's an almost completed form for a Scottish ancestor, James Couper, who was kind enough to pass away in 1855 - giving me a death certificate with more than usual detail! If you attach an image to the source record, Geves displays it in a split screen below the data entry form. It makes data entry and checking against the source very easy.
The yellow dropdown boxes are where you choose which individual or place the name in the record relates to - or you can add a new person at a click of a button. If you do choose from the dropdown, a box appears when you hover over a name with the events from that person's life. You can also use the extensive list and search windows to find the correct person in the database, then drag and drop their name across to the box.
I very much like the adjustable split screen source display. The forms aren't too bad, so far as they go. I did find occasionally that some detail seemed to be missing but that's relatively easy to correct. There is some data validation, with cells coming up in shades of orange or red if you accidentally try to make someone their own grandfather. The data entry was quick and easy - completing and checking the form took only a few minutes.
Individual and place names are as recorded on the source. You make the link to a individual in the database or a place on the map for the purpose of searches. So far so good, and it's all quite efficient. But... it gets better.
The very good
The program includes a web browser. For certain records (primarily UK census) on selected genealogy sites you can download the information into the appropriate form at the click of a button, including the source image(s). It takes about 20 seconds and all that's left to do is correct the information against the image (add in any data not in the transcription), and link it up to the right people and places. Even a fairly large household took me less than five minutes to enter this way, from start to finish. I was mostly using FindMyPast. When I tried Ancestry, Geves managed to suck information into the form that wasn't visible on the page. Clever.
In less than two weeks, when I was looking after a sick baby and was also unwell myself, I still managed to enter every detail for 125 UK census households without breaking a sweat. 125. Every detail. Really! I told you I had a ball with it! I got a kick out of seeing the forms fill themselves out every time.
The other very nice thing is that if you do enter a source only to find that the John Smith in that source isn't the John Smith you thought, it's very easy to undo. Just clear the dropdown box where you identify who (in your database) the John Smith in the source relates to. All the other bits and pieces from the source - residence, employment, birth year, whatever - will disappear from your John Smith's record.
You can't please all the people all the time...
As you enter data into the source template Geves translates it into events for you, including lineage connections between the people. Obviously the program has to make a lot of assumptions along the way, and they may not always be assumptions you agree with. If this only happens occasionally it's no big deal to fix. On the other hand all the time and effort saving made in data entry would be lost if you disagreed with something the program did in a systematic way, as there is nowhere (that I saw) to vary any of the assumptions that Geves makes.
Here are the events automatically created by Geves for the death certificate above...
And here's the family tree it has constructed...
The program does a great job where the family connections are defined by the form (eg father and mother on a birth certificate) including spouse and parent-child relationships to the head person on a census form. It makes no attempt (and nor should it) to make more ambiguous connections eg a niece or stepson. You can quite quickly and easily add events to the source yourself. For example, a birth record for the niece with just the name of the child and the parents. You don't need to put in any details that are already generated by the form, such as estimated birthdate or place of a birth for a niece on a census form. There are a few more issues along these lines for census forms in particular, and it is worth reading the help file to be aware of them and understand how to work around them.
Geves does not have all the event types you usually find. Census entries were recorded as a residence, or "Visited at" depending on the description. I would prefer to use a census event and say that the person was "enumerated at". Maybe that's just me. It does have a research screen to see what censuses you have found for each person so I suppose I could live with it - but there may well be other decisions that grate.
Once you have multiple sources for an event, Geves makes more assumptions about which source is more reliable in order to combine the information. Unfortunately there is little description of how this decision is made, either. It's obvious which events are merged, though, and you are able to change the outcome of the merged event or mark it as confirmed.
Here's a screenshot of the events tab for James Couper after I added 1841 and 1851 census information.
Merged events have a blue square around the icon, and are marked "Merged". As you click on events, you can see the source (or sources) for the information in that event underneath.
To be fair, making assumptions is always going to be a perilous business. Overall I think this part of the program is quite well-handled.
The not-so-good and really-quite-bad...
The first not-so-good thing that I noticed about Geves was the very basic output options. From a person page you can access a few simple lists of events (not a lot of detail), an ancestor report and a descendent report. There are no options about what should or should not be included in these. You can change the font, but that's it. You can also print out lists which are really very good, with whatever fields and sorting you want, but it's not the same thing.
Worse, though, there were no source citations on the reports! I could hardly believe that!
It occured to me that you could enter data here, then use another program to do reports and charts if only the GEDCOM export worked nicely with your other program. I shall defer here to someone with better knowledge than myself. Tamura Jones reviewed a beta copy of Geves back in 2007 and gave the program a rating of "Dismal" citing, among other things, GEDCOM import and export problems. I don't know if any of the problems mentioned have been fixed since then, but the ones I was able to check on with my definately non-expert knowledge of GEDCOM had not been. This was disappointing. Source-based data entry loses its gloss if you're not sure of getting the information out again!
The other stuff
Otherwise, I had no particular problems using the program. It has been stable for me. There was a full 5 second delay going to and from one particular source with 24 sub-records but that was the only lag I noticed. I'm not sure how the program would handle large files. My experimental file was relatively small with just over 700 individuals (many of whom were probably the same people, but I hadn't made the connection yet) and aside from the delay I mentioned I didn't have any problem.
Although the general reports were lacking, the lists were good and very editable. Some fields were easy to add, some you had to start writing expressions. I get the impression that the lists could be very powerful, if only you could work out how to write the expressions. There was some information on that in the help file.
What else...? Photos are treated like source images. The source form relating to the photo has fields for date, place, event, photographer and allows you to mark with a box (which then becomes a passport photo for the individual) who is in the picture. If using the deluxe version you can add your own custom fields to sources, people, events, repositories or whatever. I think I would want to add a custom caption or description field to the source record. It was difficult to find how to access the custom forms you created. I eventually found the answer not in the help file but on the user forum. As an aside, judging by the forum the user base is very small, but the developer is quick to give a helpful response to questions.
I don't know how those custom fields are treated in GEDCOM export. There did seem to be an ability to customise how sources were exported for each template. I didn't experiment with it, but if using the program to export I would. The default export for the source was the one line description given to it although all the other information you would need for a proper source citiation was generally tucked away on the source forms.
The conclusion
I haven't covered every aspect of the program here. In some ways it has surprising depth and is very customisable, in others it's inflexible and falls a little short. Although I have raised concerns and criticisms of the program, I did buy a copy at the end of the free 30 day trial.
Yes, I am perhaps a little besotted with the data entry to the exclusion of all else. They do say love is blind.
I'm not planning on using Geves as my primary genealogy software. I used it in the trial period to begin sorting out the Tregoning families in Gwennap, Cornwall, England. At least 2 of the 17 households with Tregonings in 1841 are of interest to me.
Thanks to Geves I am now confident that I've followed through to the correct 1881 census entry for my great-great-great grandmother, Mary Tregoning, and I think I know which death record is hers, too. I'll enter just the information relating to my family into my main database. It's going to seem so sloooow after Geves, but at least I'll be able to assume whatever I want and make some pretty charts. With source citations.
By the way, Happy New Year!

I upgraded this summer from Debian sarge to etch. As part of this transition, I have upgraded from Xfree86 to X.org and from the custom 2.6.8 kernel I built to the 2.6.12-1-686 kernel provided by etch. As a result of the kernel transition, I was able to install the Debian NVidia drivers with a minimum amount of hassle. I still have to fix the symlinks to the libGL libraries for some unknown reason. As compensation, I found the documentation on how to suppress the NVidia splash screen when my X server starts.
In contrast to my old kernel, ALSA just works with the new kernel. I am much more pleased by etch than sarge.
I have been very pleased by the Debian testing distribution. I dislike running unstable because every so often something gets uploaded into unstable that breaks just about everything. This really hasn't happened with testing. I decided to upgrade my kernel and X server simultaneously, which was the most painful part of running Debian testing so far.
Etch is also testing a new GUI installer that looks very promising.

Fernando Alonso has announced his retirement from Formula 1 at the end of the 2018 season.
That Spaniard confirmed the end of his 17-year career by posting a touching video on his Twitter page.
A two-time world championship winner, with back-to-back successes in 2005 and 2006, Alonso will be the remembered as the man who ended Michael Schumachers reign of dominance in the sport.
Prior to Alonsos maiden title, Schumacher had won the championship for five consecutive seasons between 2000 and 2005.
The 37-year-old has said he is now ready to move on from the sport, with suggestions this week that he could move to compete in IndyCar fulltime.
Alonso famously missed the Monaco Grand Prix last season to compete in the Indy 500 last year.
He will compete the current F1 season with McLaren before seeing what the future brings.
Alonso said in a statement: "After 17 wonderful years in this amazing sport, it's time for me to make a change and move on. I have enjoyed every single minute of those incredible seasons and I cannot thank enough the people who have contributed to make them all so special.
"There are still several grands prix to go this season, and I will take part in them with more commitment and passion than ever.
"Let's see what the future brings; new exciting challenges are around the corner. I'm having one of the happiest times ever in my life but I need to go on exploring new adventures."
Today is a sad day for me, but I was really sick of seeing him with such an uncompetitive car. I hope at least he gets the triple crown, he deserves it.

Beloved Media Blogger Resigns Over Made-Up Controversy
Just hours after Poynter Instituter Julie Moos wrote that there were "questions" about popular media blogger Jim Romenesko's use of quotation marks—questions ostensibly raised by a single person—Romenesko handed in his resignation letter, bringing his 12-year stint with Poynter to an end.
It didn't have to be this way! But after being accused of displaying "a pattern of incomplete attribution" in his posts, as though he were up to something wrong, Romenesko submitted his letter—which he's already tried to do twice before, actually. "This really did throw me for a loop," he told the New York Times. "I think I'd probably prefer to go quietly."
Romenesko was supposed to go part-time at Poynter and start his own website in just seven weeks, so now he can get a head start. And the Poynter Institute can begin looking for someone to take his place, even though they can't, because some people are irreplaceable.
If you do take over Romenesko's job, be sure to put quotation marks around everything, including your byline. Because your parents came up with your name, and give credit where credit is due.

really hadn't realized how important it is to put your best face forward – I always
figured my career history speaks for itself. Your rewrite pointed out that all I've

OCC Bulletin 2011-38| September 12, 2011
Retail Foreign Exchange Transactions: Interim Final Rule
Chief Executive Officers of All National Banks and Federal Savings Associations, Department and Division Heads, All Examining Personnel, and Other Interested Parties
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has adopted an interim final rule amending its rule governing retail foreign exchange transactions to apply to Federal savings associations and making conforming changes to the required risk disclosure statements.
As amended by the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 on July 16, 2011, the Commodity Exchange Act forbids Federal savings associations from engaging in certain off-exchange transactions in foreign currency with retail customers (retail Forex transactions), except pursuant to a rule authorizing the transaction (a retail Forex rule). The OCC promulgated a retail Forex rule for national banks on July 14, 2011. See 76 Fed. Reg. 41375 (codified at 12 CFR part 48). On July 21, 2011, the OCC obtained the authority to promulgate a retail Forex rule for Federal savings associations. This interim final rule authorizes Federal savings associations to engage in retail Forex transactions on the same terms as national banks.
As required by the Commodity Exchange Act, the retail Forex rule includes requirements for conducting retail Forex transactions with respect to disclosure, recordkeeping, capital and margin, reporting, business conduct, and documentation. This interim final rule also makes conforming changes to the risk disclosures required by the retail Forex rule.
This interim final rule takes effect upon publication in the Federal Register on September 12, 2011. Federal savings associations that were engaged in a retail Forex business prior to July 16, 2011, must request a supervisory no-objection to continue their retail Forex business within 30 days of the effective date of the interim final rule.
For further information please contact Securities and Corporate Practices Division at (202) 649-6360.

First Senior Deputy Comptroller and Chief Counsel

Tide teammates set to open Walker Cup
Send a link to a friend
[September 07, 2013]
(AP) -- Alabama teammates Cory Whitsett and Bobby Wyatt will face Britain and Ireland's Nathan Kimsey and Max Orrin in the first foursomes match Saturday in the Walker Cup.
Whitsett and Wyatt and U.S. teammate Justin Thomas led Alabama to the NCAA team title this year.
"I think everything is good," U.S. captain Jim Holtgrieve said Friday. "The guys are ready to go."
The biennial competition will open at National Golf Links of America with four foursomes matches and eight singles matches, and end Sunday with four foursomes matches and 10 singles matches.
The matches, first played in 1922 at National Golf Links, are named in honor of former USGA President George Herbert Walker -- President George H.W. Bush's grandfather and President George W. Bush's great-grandfather. In the last matches, Britain and Ireland won 14-12 in 2011 at Royal Aberdeen in Scotland for the team's first victory since 2003. The U.S. leads the series 34-8-1.
"The boys are great," Britain and Ireland captain Nigel Edwards said. "They've been getting on with the job, plenty of putting on the greens and plenty of chipping, so they're very buoyant. They're looking forward to the challenge, and looks as if the weather is set for it to make it a good contest this weekend."
Jordan Niebrugge, a sophomore at Oklahoma State who won the U.S. Amateur Public Links and Western Amateur this summer, will team with Nathan Smith in the second match against U.S. Amateur champion Matthew Fitzpatrick and Neil Raymond.
The 35-year-old Smith played in the 2009 and 2011 matches.
"We're excited. We're happy to be here," Smith said. "This is first class all the way. I think of all the Walker Cups I've played, this is the one you want to make, and we all feel the same way."
[to top of second column]
In the other foursomes matches, Americans Michael Weaver and Todd White will face Garrick Porteous and Rhys Pugh, and Thomas and Stanford's Patrick Rodgers will play Gavin Moynihan and Kevin Phelan.
In singles, Wyatt will face Raymond in the opener. Max Homa, the NCAA individual title this year as a senior at California, will face Orrin in the second match.
In the other matches, it is: Cal's Michael Kim vs. Callum Shinkwin; Whitsett vs. Jordan Smith; Niebrugge vs. Porteous; Cal's Weaver vs. Fitzpatrick; Thomas vs. Nathan Kimsey; and Rodgers vs. Moynihan.
Rodgers is making his second appearance in the event.
"I think it's just important to find your comfort zone," Rodgers said. "I know for me being out there in '11 that was my first experience in this kind of a stage. You really got to stick to your game and how you play your best golf. It's easy to kind of let the situation get the best of you, but I think we have a great team. I think we're all really relaxed. We have a lot of confident players and I think we'll do great."
Fitzpatrick won the U.S. Amateur last month to become the first English champion since 1911. He will be a freshman at Northwestern.
"I think all of the achievements I've managed to complete has prepared me really well," Fitzpatrick said. "I think the biggest thing that I'll get out of those is just playing in front of a big crowd. It's really nerve- racking playing in front of a crowd. So having that experience in the past definitely helps."

The Harvard women's fencing team claimed a fifth-place
finish at the 2010 NCAA Fencing Championships after ending the
season with a 15-8 record and a No. 9 national ranking. Harvard
produced its second national champion in program history, both
coming under the tutelage of head coach Peter Brand. Four fencers
earned All-America honors while three were tabbed to the All-Ivy
League first team.
The Regular Season:
Harvard posted a 15-8 record on the year and finished the Ivy League Championships with a 3-3 mark, good for fourth in the conference. In the first event of the 2009-10 campaign, Harvard earned two medals at the Garret Penn State Open. Vloka won the silver medal in the sabre competition and Mills earned the bronze in the epee.
The Crimson began the season on a seven-match win streak. Harvard was 6-0 after day one of the regular season, having defeated defending national champion Penn State and perennial powerhouses North Carolina, NYU and Princeton. The Crimson also laid claim to Beantown bragging rights for the third straight year, winning all three matches at the Beanpot to take the title. MacLeod, Mills and Vloka all earned spots on the All-Ivy League first team, while Mills was also tabbed to the Academic All-Ivy League team.
At the NCAA Northeast Regionals, Mills and Vloka each placed second in their respective competitions. MacLeod earned a fourth-place finish while Sun posted a sixth-place finish in her first season. Arielle Pensler placed eighth and Goldfeder finished in tenth in the foil. Vloka went 19-4 at the event while Mills posted a 20-3 record in the epee. MacLeod won 17 bouts and Sun put up 15 wins at the meet. In the foil, Pensler scored 12 victories while Goldfeder claimed 13 at the competition.
The NCAA Championships:
Harvard University hosted the 2010 NCAA Fencing Championships March 25-28 at the Gordon Track. As 144 competitors representing 27 squads converged on Cambridge for the four-day event, over 700 spectators and 19 members of the media watched as Penn State claimed its second consecutive national team title. The Crimson garnered a fifth-place finish, four All-Americans and two finalists.
Sophomore co-captain Caroline Vloka captured the women's sabre national title, earning her second straight All-America first-team honors. She earned 19 wins en route to her first-place finish. Vloka, who entered the final day in fifth, boasted a +42 indicator rating, collecting 102 touches in the preliminary rounds to receive the third seed in the semifinal round.
A product of Upper Saddle River, N.J., Vloka fenced Duke's Rebecca Ward in the championship bout, a rematch of last year's final. Vloka got the better of her opponent this time around, as she scored a 15-13 victory, earning the national crown. Vloka became Harvard's first female national champion since Emily Cross '08-09 won the foil title in 2005.
Classmate and co-captain Noam Mills claimed a second-place finish in the women's epee for the second consecutive year. Mills clinched All-America first-team honors for the second year in a row after claiming first place in the preliminaries. The sophomore posted 21 victories in the preliminaries, while scoring an indicator rating of +54. Mills, the No. 1 seed in the semifinals, fenced Penn State's Anastasia Ferdmann, the fourth seed. The Kfar Saba, Israel native, earned a sudden victory against Ferdmann, winning 8-7, allowing her to grab a spot in the championship bout. In the finals, Mills dropped her match to Margherita Guzzi Vincenti of Penn State by a score of 15-10.
Sophomore Shelby MacLeod claimed 11th place in the foil while senior Artemisha Goldfeder placed 12th. Both fencers earned All-America honorable mention status. For Goldfeder, it marked the second time in her career that she received All-America honorable mention, after placing 10th in the foil competition in her freshman campaign. MacLeod garnered All-America honorable mention status for the first time in her career. Freshman Elena Helgiu finished 21st in the sabre, as she won six bouts at the event, and classmate Felicia Sun placed 21st in the epee, picking up five victories.
Looking Ahead:
Harvard will return 11 fencers for next season including five who competed at the 2010 NCAA Fencing Championships. The Crimson will graduate three seniors at the end of the year; foil fencers Artemisha Goldfeder, Arielle Pensler and Anna Podolsky. Yunsoo Kim is the only fencer rising to senior status, as she was the lone junior on this year's squad. Hayley Levitt, Sarah Rosenberg-Wahl, MacLeod, Mills and Vloka will all look to carry the success from this season into their junior years. Katherine Chou, Nadia Eldeib, Alexa Fishman, Helgiu and Sun will all look to build on their rookie campaigns.

The Discussion
Good video but I ran into a problem. When you typed y.ToString square braces appeared at the end [ ] but that doesnt work for me, it does work however if I use the curved braces ( ), I don't understand why
I was also JUST watching the video and I watched the same thing and was about to comment on it. Really cool but can you please explain the () at the end and how, if we had not seen it we would have known to put the () at the end of the line.

I was also JUST watching the video and I watched the same thing and was about to comment on it. Really cool but can you please explain the () at the end and how, if we had not seen it we would have known to put the () at the end of the line.
It's part of the syntax of C# but you really didn't need to know that because when you put the . after y the intellisense auto-completion added the () to the end after you selected .ToString(). Visual Studio would have told you that this was a problem as well. I think it even goes so far as to tell you that it expects parentheses.
@Mintydog: brackets in a C style language like c# implies an index to an array or collection. so if I had an array of integers called foo that has 10 objects, I'd go
int firstInt = foo[0]; // returns first int fifthInt = foo[4]; // returns 5th in array
Now () is typically for methods and constructors. so if I have an a string, I'd go
string myString = new string();
If I have an integer and wanted to change it into a string, I have to cast it. Since .ToString is a method, I have to do use () since some methods allow you to pass stuff in. With (), I'm passing in nothing.
int five = 5; string theNumberFive = five.ToString();
He did infact use 'toString()'. It is because of the video quality that it appeared as '[]'. :)
@Joseph Clover: Ah, we do have the high quality versions and the source code examples for download as well for each video
@Clint: Where can I find the high quality versions. The quality is pathetic in these. Can't read a word!
where can i change the settings to have these () after ToString,too?
This is too funny!
Just wanted to tell you I think you are doing a fantastic job with these videos. Thanks for putting these together for everyone.
Totally new to all this but downloaded the latest tools (the beta) and it seems that the conventions for defining variables is different than the video. Using the Dim string instead of Int?
I'm confused. Can anyone help?
Again, a total newbie but it seems like when I try to edit actions on a control I'm working in VB and he's working in C#. Does that make sense and how do I switch?
Nevermind, I'm a moron. Figured it out.
Thanks All these videos are great tutorials!
Good video, thanks.
First off excellent video's, thanks for posting them.I am a total norvice, can you tell me how you convert doubles to string please.
Thank you in advance.
Regards Phil

Viral videos are a double-edged sword. On one hand, a trick-shot video helped a D-III quarterback like Monmouth College's Alex Tanney gain national recognition. On the other hand, he'll have to do something pretty damn special to become something other than "the guy who made that trick-shot video. Not that one, the other one."
Tanney set the NCAA record for career touchdown passes, but went undrafted in 2012. He was signed by the Chiefs, but spent that season on injured reserve. He signed with Dallas this offseason, but was assigned to the Cowboys' practice squad. So the Browns, with Jason Campbell being evaluated for a concussion and carrying just two QBs since Brian Hoyer's injury last month, snapped Tanney up today.
He figures to give Cleveland as much as Brandon Weeden has, but for about $7.5 million cheaper.

Keira & Rupert over?
UK gossips are reporting that after five years, Keira Knightley and Rupert Friend are over. As you know, British gossips aren't exactly reliable. And they've probably based this story simply on the fact that Rupert showed up at an event recently without her, his mother on his arm instead, noting that things haven't been well for a while. When contacted about a possible breakup, Knightley's reps said they don't comment on her personal life. That's pretty standard.
Keira is intensely private, getting even more so it seems. Whether or not their relationship has ended is still undetermined but what's curious to me is that she was hardly involved, if at all, in any press for the recently released London Boulevard which was released in the UK November 26. Colin Farrell was there, promoted the film in print, there were a couple of tv interviews, but other than that, it was a rather quiet open, and one that did not involve Keira at all. And while she was much more visible for Never Let Me Go, she did not travel for it, nor was there a whole lot of "extra" promotion beyond the press conference, the premiere, and limited tv, all rushed through in a two day period.
My smutty sense is tingling. Something's up with her.

Dodo Flying FAQ by MrIQ

(PS2 and PC) Posted by MrIQ (firstname.lastname@example.com) E-mail me if you have suggestions or questions not specifically found in this FAQ. The most frequent question asked on the Grand Theft Auto 3 message boards is "How do I fly the Dodo?" Well look no further for this tells you how to do so! Here is the control setup I use for the PC version of the game: W - Accelerate A - Steer Left D - Steer Right Up-Arrow - Point Nose Down Down-Arrow - Point Nose Up I use 2 hands to fly it. You should too. Another ideal way would to have the left/right arrow keys for steering it, and any other key for acceleration. It is all about personal preference. Try it out :) Table of Contents 1. Introduction 2. Locations Of The Dodo 3. Before You Start Flying 4. Take-Off 5. Stability 6. Turning 7. Gaining Altitude 8. Facing The Elements 9. Do's And Don'ts Of Flying 10. Landing The Dodo 11. Having Fun With The Dodo 12. Doing Tricks With The Dodo 13. Going For The Record 14. Dodo Pilots Elite 15. False Rumors 16. TroubleShooting 17. Flying The Rhino 18. Outro 19. Legal Stuff 20. Special Thanks 21. Final Word/Things To Come [ 1. Introduction. ] Hello there! So, you cannot seem to be able to fly the clipped-wing plane, the Dodo, much longer for 10 seconds, can you? Well, your days of flying straight into the ocean are gone! This FAQ will tell you how you too can fly the Dodo just like the experts! Once you learn to fly the Dodo, you will spend countless hours up in the air exploring the GTA3 world from a completely new perspective. Feel free to print this FAQ out and use it for your private use only. Good Luck and Happy Flying! ************************************READ ME******************************** This little section will quickly inform you of my e-mail policy. Before e-mailing me asking questions about the Dodo, make sure that you have read ALL of this FAQ. You would not believe how many questions can be answered if people just read all of this FAQ. Especially the TroubleShooting section. I did not put that section there for my health. If you e-mail me, and I have not responded to it within three (3) business days, then I have either deleted it or I did not receive it. I will try to answer every e-mail I receive, but this is sometimes impossible. If you have not heard a response from me in three business days, then resend your e-mail. Do not resend your e-mail if you are sending in your flight record for the Elite section. I should be able to put that in the next update. Please note that I will NOT answer any questions that do not deal with the Dodo specifically. If you have questions on missions, storyline, hidden packages, please ask it on the message boards. When I get questions not about the Dodo, I usually delete the message. ************************************READ ME********************************* [ 2. Locations Of The Dodo. ] Well, first off, to fly the Dodo, you have to find the Dodo. The Dodo can be found in three different parts of Francis International Airport in Shoreside Vale. The first location is just past the tollbooth of the entrance to the airport. Follow the road and take the first right. Go to the third hangar on the right. There is a Dodo in the middle of the hangar. To find the second location, take the same route as the first location but instead of turning into the hangar, continue down the road. The road will curve to left and then to the right. Take a left just past the jet on your left and you will see the Dodo right in front of you. To find the third location of the Dodo, take the same route to the second location but do not follow the road around the curve to the right. Instead, go past the yellow and white ramps on the left and take a left. You will now be on a road that runs parallel to the runway. Follow this road until you see two hangars on the left, one will have a jet in it, and the second one will have the Dodo in a corner. You can also get a Dodo at the Import/Export Garage in Portland if you have already collected all the necessary vehicles. [ 3. Before You Start Flying. ] This section tells you some quick things to do before you start flying; this will make flying easier and more enjoyable. (a.) Turn off the radio - This is the first thing I do once I get in the Dodo. This makes concentration easier and allows you to hear key elements in taking off (covered later in the FAQ). (b.) Find a suitable view - Whichever view you use while you are driving, I recommend you use for flying. The only one you cannot use during take off is the first-person view. You must be able to see the entire plane while taking off. (c.) Decide which control you want to use (Analog Stick or the D-pad) - This does not really matter, I use the D-pad, but you may feel more comfortable using the Analog Stick. [ 4. Take-Off. ] *************************************NOTE*************************************** (PS2) When I give directions to press, I will be talking about using the D-pad. The controls on the Analog Stick for latitude (up and down) are opposite the D-pad. Therefore, if I say press down, you would press up on the Analog Stick. Right and left directions are the same for both. (PC) The latitude directions for the PC version are a little bit different than the PS2 ones. In this FAQ, when I say hold DOWN, on the PC you would hold Up (i.e. Point the Dodo's nose DOWN). *************************************NOTE*************************************** There are two main places to take off from the airport. There is the runway that the 767s use and the one that is not used. I, personally, like to use the one the 767s use as the other runway is more difficult to take off from due to the wind directions. Do not worry about crashing into the other planes as they take-off/land as you will go straight through them. AcidicFish has found a view that can make taking off with the Dodo easier. Get on the runway, and start backing up. When the camera starts to go behind the plane, hold R2 and L2. This should give you a view that is slightly lower than the regular view. Follow these steps for easy take-off: (a.) Face the Dodo towards Staunton Island. Hold R1 so that the engine will be revved up and ready to go. (b.) When you are ready, release R1 and immediately hold DOWN. The Dodo will gradually gain speed. (c.) As you are gaining speed, there will be two key signals that tell you that the Dodo is ready to fly. You will see sparks coming from the bottom of the Dodo and you will hear it scraping the ground. (If you are having trouble seeing the sparks, switch to the side view) Whenever you see or hear this, release down. DO NOT PRESS UP. The Dodo will begin to gain altitude. (d.) AS SOON AS YOU RELEASE DOWN, hold L2 or R2 so that you get the side view. Continuously TAP down so that the nose of the Dodo is level with the ground (or ocean.) DO NOT HOLD DOWN, for this will cause you to do a nose-dive straight into the ground. Not too much fun. If you wait too long to tap down after leaving the ground, you will not be able to fly the Dodo for an extended amount of time. Remember, as soon as you stop pressing down to lift-off, you must begin to level out. You should now be flying relatively parallel to the earth heading for Staunton Island. (e.) I have had many letters because people get confused with the D section above. This is an alternate way to level out the Dodo: Make sure that the view is in the second outside view. Not the one that is far away or the one that is close up; the one in the middle. Whenever you see the red part of the nose come into view, tap down until you cannot see it anymore. Repeat until the nose does not come up anymore. You should now be flying relatively parallel to the earth heading for Staunton Island. [ 5. Stability.] Now that you are able to take off, you must now learn how to keep it up.... so to speak. You will never press Up; again, you will NEVER press up while stabilizing. Doing so will cause you to shoot up in the air and stall out. In addition, you do not always have to hold the X (acceleration) button. Once you gain enough altitude, the propeller will provide enough power to keep the Dodo up in the air. (a.) If the Dodo starts to go down, let it do so. It will eventually catch the draft again and start to rise. When it does so, tap down continuously to get it leveled again with the earth. (b.) If you are not losing altitude, but the Dodo is shaking, then it is because of the winds. LIGHTLY TAP either right or left, and this will get the wings parallel with the earth. One of the most important facts that I cannot stress enough is DO NOT PANIC. It may seem that the Dodo is going to fly straight into the ground, but it will not if you stabilize it right. Calmly wait for it to descend and then it will rise again. Calmly tap down and get it level with the ground, then you will be fine. [ 6. Turning.] Now that you are in the air, you are flying level, you suddenly face a new problem... a building. Granted, that the clipped wings of the Dodo makes turning extremely difficult, it still can be done. There are some basic rules you should always follow while turning: (a.) Do not hold right or left, simply TAP - If you do hold right or left, you could end up spinning out of control. Only once you mastered turning is when you can hold right or left. I would not even call it holding, more like a long tap. (b.) Correct the over steer - If you are turning but you have turned the Dodo too much, you must correct this with the opposite direction you just pressed. For example, if you wanted to turn left, and the Dodo turns left too far, then you must tap right to get it flying straight again. (c.) Know your turns - In order to turn successfully without crashing, you must give yourself enough time to turn. Trying to turn the Dodo too quickly will make you crash. Make sure you know where you want to go and any obstacles that could hinder your flying. Turning is not difficult once you get use to it. Just always remember to TAP and never hold. [ 7. Gaining Altitude. ] Now that you have all the basics of Dodo flying down, you will want to be able to fly higher so that you can explore. You should only try the techniques in this section if you have mastered the ones above. Trying to do this too early in your Dodo flying lessons can cause you to crash. I have divided this section up into two different parts: The easy way to gain altitude and the more difficult way to gain altitude. EASY WAY: The easiest way to gain altitude is to fly around the coast of the islands. As you are flying, the Dodo will constantly be gaining altitude on it has own. Let the Dodo gain altitude for a couple of seconds and then tap down to level it out. It will eventually fly at its highest; this is where you do not have to worry about losing altitude during turning. This height is roughly the same height as the top of the Callahan Bridge. DIFFICULT WAY: The more difficult way of gaining altitude is what I call IAG (Immediate Altitude Gain.) This way comes into play when you have to gain enough altitude in order to avoid a building or other tall structure. In order to do this you must do a two-second up tap. The Dodo's nose will fly up into the air and will gain altitude immediately. You cannot let the Dodo gain too much altitude for too long of a time. You should not let the Dodo gain altitude for more than two seconds consecutively. As soon as these two seconds are up, press down to level the Dodo. This technique can only be used to gain about 30 feet instantly. If you try to gain more than the Dodo is capable of doing, you WILL stall out. When you stall out, you will lose all the altitude you had gained and you will lose about 30 more feet from your original altitude. [ 8. Facing The Elements. ] If you are going to be flying the Dodo for any amount of extended time, you will, undoubtedly, be faced with weather problems. There are two types of weather, in the game, that could cause you problems while flying. The easier of the two to deal with is rain, while the harder one is fog. Here are full strategy guides on how to overcome these obstacles. RAIN: This weather element is not that difficult to fly in. Everyone knows what rain is; it is merely "high-quality H20." The only real problem that you will face with rain is the winds. During a storm, the winds become very violent. This causes the Dodo to shake from left to right, and up and down. This action is nothing like the Dodo losing altitude, and then rising again in clear weather. This is where it looks like the Dodo has lost total control. It is shaking so violently that it can be hard to keep up. When this is happening, the most important thing to do is to keep the wings parallel with the ground. As long as the wings are parallel, keeping the Dodo from going too far up or down will not be a problem. Just ride it out after stabilizing the Dodo, and you will do fine. FOG: If I had a penny for every time I flew into a building while it was foggy, I would have a dime. Fog is really a pain in the arse that will cause you to crash almost every time; unless you know the secrets of the trade. Fog always begins on the beginning of the hour, and ends on the hour. So, you will be flying through very dense fog for at least one minute. In order to be able to fly through fog, you have to know when fog is about to come. Fog usually comes up after a storm, and it always comes up at the beginning of the hour. If you have just been flying through a storm, then you will be flying through fog next. You have to take action while you still have time to see where you are flying. As soon as you can, get on the outskirts of the city. If you can manage to do loops around the city while flying in fog, there is a high chance you will come out of it all right. When you are on the outskirts of the city, you will have to use the map in the corner as your eyes. Whenever you see land, make sure you keep to the outside of it. You never know if there is a skyscraper or unique jump on the land to hinder your flying. As long as you keep on the outskirts of the islands, you should be able to fly through the fog. Please note that sometimes your game may freeze up if you are flying at night through fog. As of now, I have found no way as to unfreeze the game. You will have to reset if you want to continue playing the game. [ 9. Do's And Don't Of Flying. ] DO'S: (a.) Hold down during take-off. (b.) TAP down to correct altitude. (c.) TAP right or left to turn. (d.) Have fun. DONT'S: (a.) NEVER press up, except when landing and performing IAG. (b.) NEVER hold anything. (c.) Turn too quickly. (d.) DO NOT FLY OVER UNIQUE JUMPS. Doing so will cause you to crash and you will have to start over. (e.) DO NOT FLY OFF THE EDGE OF THE MAP. Doing so will crash your game, and you will have to reset. (f.) Panic. [ 10. Landing The Dodo. ] Unbelievably, landing the Dodo the proper way is harder to do than take-off! This will require immense practice to perfect and is only recommended to veteran Dodo fliers. The best place to practice is at the runways at Francis International Airport. Take off from the same runway that you always take-off from, and make an immediate right turn as soon as you stabilize the Dodo. Turn the Dodo completely around so that you are facing the shorter runway that you did not take off from. Follow these steps: (a.) Let go of the gas. This slows you down and you will need your right thumb later on. (b.) Make sure the Dodo is level after turning. If the Dodo is shaking to the right and left, it makes landing extremely difficult. (c.) Hold up until the Dodo's nose is at least at a 45 degree angle between it and the level of the ground. (d.) The Dodo will slowly begin to descend, but DO NOT LET THE NOSE GO BELOW 45 DEGREES. Tap and hold up as you need to. (e.) The Dodo's back wheels will eventually touch down. Hold R1 and square to come to a complete stop. This will take a few times to perfect. Do not get discouraged. [ 11. Having Fun With The Dodo. ] Now that you are able to fly the Dodo for longer than 10 seconds, you are now able to explore the massive Liberty City. There are several things to discover in the city. Try some of these things for starters: (a.) Try to see what is on top of Kenji's casino. (Not the one with the helicopter, the other building) (b.) Fly over the stadium in Staunton Island. (c.) Try to land on the boat and on the lighthouse in Portland. (d.) Try to fly over the dam in Shoreside Vale. (e.) Fly around the outskirts of the islands to see how long you can fly. Flying around the island will let you escape the unique jumps. Of course, these are very few things you can do with the Dodo. If you see some place you want to explore further, but you cannot get there in regular ways, then fly the Dodo there. Have fun! :) [ 12. Doing Tricks With The Dodo. ] Okay, you have mastered flying the Dodo in GTA3. Keeping it up no longer satisfies you. This part of the FAQ details some tricks and maneuvers for you to try. Some can be beneficial to learn and when performed correctly can help you stay in the air, although they can also have the opposite effect. A high level of skill is required, not to do the tricks but to recover the Dodo without crashing. If you still are not a good flyer of the Dodo, I suggest you reread the FAQ, which is above. Because of the differences between Analog Sticks and D-PAD, I have explained the Tricks in terms of what the Dodo should do or parts i.e. go upwards so the Dodo starts to climb. Each trick has a difficulty rating in stars (*): * - Very Easy, even for flight beginners ** - Easy *** - Medium **** - Hard ***** - A challenge for even the best dodo flyers TRICK LIST A. Barrel Roll B. Multiple Barrel Rolls C. Special Barrel Roll D. Firefly E. Loop de Loop F. Double Loop de Loop G. Special Loop de Loop H. Roller Coaster Loop de Loop I. Downwards Helter Skelter J. Upward Helter Skelter K. Cop Pied Piper L. Snake Ride M. Corkscrew N. Swan Dive O. Stitch And Thread P. Downward Spiral Q. Upside Down Flight R. 180 Degree Climb Reverse S. Star Wars Sidewinder A :: Barrel Roll :: This trick is the easiest one that I have been able to repeat. This is where you roll your wings. Steer heavily left or right and the plane will roll. Once the plane rolls almost 360°, you need to start to correct in order to stop the plane from going out of control. It is very easy for one roll to continue into Multiple Barrel Rolls. With practice, you can do this without losing any or much height. If you do it right, the Dodo will not veer to the left or right. Difficulty: * B :: Multiple Barrel Rolls :: This is more difficult than A because the more rolls you do the more out of control the plane gets. You may also lose a lot of altitude fast. Sometimes the Dodo may therefore become almost unrecoverable. Steer heavily left or right and the plane will role. Instead of stopping after one roll, like A, continue or roll the other way. Difficulty: ** C :: Special Barrel Roll :: If you have Barrel Rolls down, try doing this. All you have to do is do a Barrel Roll while going under a bridge. The Staunton/Shoreside Vale Bridge is the best place to do this. Difficulty: ** D :: Firefly :: While you are doing Multiple Barrel Rolls, perform the Stitch and Thread (covered later in FAQ.) Difficulty: **** E :: Loop De Loop :: This is a very difficult trick to pull off. First, you have to make sure you are flying relatively parallel to the ground. Then, you must do a nose-dive towards the earth for approximately one second. This should give you the required speed to perform the stunt. After doing this, immediately go up in the air. Keep the Dodo's nose going towards the sky, and you should go upside down. Just keep holding the same button you have been pressing until you become level with the ground again. You will have to level out in order to keep from crashing. On this, there is no left or right motion, just up and down. Here is a rough diagram of what the trick should look like: _________ / <-- \ ^ | \ | | | | \ | | Up \____-->____/_____--> | / | -->________ / \ _/ Difficulty: **** F :: Double Loop de Loop :: Just like the name suggests, this is where you do two Loop de Loops. You have to have an extreme amount of altitude to pull this one off. Just do everything you do for one Loop de Loop twice. The only exception to this rule is you do not have to dive down before doing the second Loop de Loop. You should have enough speed to do the second one when you come out of the first one. Good luck! Difficulty: ***** G :: Special Loop de Loop :: Like the Special Barrel Roll, this stunt is performed with a bridge. Start out by going under the Staunton/Shoreside Vale Bridge, do a Loop de Loop to go up and above the bridge, and then come back underneath the bridge. This is a very difficult trick to pull off. I have only managed to do it once. Difficulty: ***** H :: Roller Coaster Loop de Loop :: Same as the Loop De Loop except that during the loop you move either left or right as well. It is easier to perform than the Loop De Loop despite it requiring turning techniques. Difficulty: *** I :: Downward Helter Skelter :: This is like doing multiple Loop de Loops sideways while also going towards the ground; almost in a looping corkscrew fashion towards the ground, and then recover before a crash. You have to have a lot of altitude in order to perform this stunt. Make sure you give yourself plenty of room to recover at the end of this trick. Once you have done all you want to do, quit holding right/left and down, and start pressing in the opposite direction that you were going. Therefore, if you were going down while holding left, you would hold right and up in order to get out of it. Level out as soon as you get a chance to. Difficulty: *** J :: Upward Helter Skelter :: This is the same as the Downwards Helter Skelter, but instead of going down, you will be going up. The same rules apply as going down; just substitute everything that says down for up. You will only be able to get one or two loops out of this before you start to lose speed and stall out. Difficulty: *** K :: Cop Pied Piper :: Get a high wanted level and get cop/FBI/army ground vehicles to follow you, and then lead them off the nearest edge into the sea. Best done off the bridge between islands 2 & 3. Not really a trick, but good fun! Difficulty: * L :: Snake Ride :: This trick is going up and down in a wave like motion as if you were traveling down a snake. (1) From any position, raise the nose of the dodo so that you climb. (2) After a short period of climbing, level off. (3) Descend again to your original height from (1) (4) Repeat steps 1-3 a few times. (2) _____(3) _____ ---> / \ / \ ----> ____/ \____/ \_____ (1) (4) Difficulty: ** M :: Corkscrew :: This is trick uses the same idea as the Snake Ride, except that you do Multiple Barrel Rolls as well. It is very easy to press the wrong button that will send the Dodo spiraling into the ground, so be warned. Difficulty: ***** N :: Swan Dive :: Maneuver like you are riding down the back of a swan's neck. This is great when your dodo is losing altitude. By simply gaining momentum when descending a little, you regain the forces to keep you in the air. (1) From a height head towards the ground at 45+ degree angle (2) Before impact with the ground, pull up (3) Use the momentum of your decent to gain a little height. ____ --> (1) \ \ _____ --> (2) \ ____ / (3) Difficulty: * O :: Stitch and Thread :: It is like stitching with a needle and thread whereby you go back through the area that you just passed through. This requires good turning technique. Difficulty: **** P :: Downward Spiral :: From maximum height go vertically down in spinning motion, then recover before you crash into the ground. It is like doing Multiple Barrel Rolls, except that you are going straight down. Give yourself enough room to pull up at the end. Difficulty: *** Q :: Upside Down Flight :: It is what it is called. Simply do half of a Barrel Roll, and let the Dodo stay upside down. The only real difficult thing is that all of the controls are reversed. So, if you press right, the Dodo will turn left, and if you tap down (on D-pad), the Dodo will go up. You can always turn your controller upside down to avoid this confusion. Difficulty: ** R :: 180-Degree Climb Reverse :: (1) Go forward (2) Make the dodo climb fast (3) With enough speed, you will start to go back on yourself (4) You are upside down and to stop going into a loop de loop you need to level off. (5) Role over to an upright position. _______ (5) <-- (4)\ \(3) | / -->_(1)_______/(2) Difficulty: *** S :: Star Wars Sidewinder :: This trick is where you travel through small gaps between buildings sideways. It is very difficult to do, but it is a great way to impress your friends if you can pull it off. Difficulty: ***** [ 13. Going For The Record. ] This section will tell you what the world record for flying the Dodo is, and strategies on ways that you can beat it. The person that holds the record for flying the Dodo goes by the name of Noops on the gamefaqs.com message boards. His record time is 176488 seconds (49 hours). Here is how he did this achievement in his own words: "Achieving this record was very time consuming, since I had to fly anywhere from 3 to up to 9 hours each day. Many of you might say its pointless, or stupid, but believe me, it is not so. It is a very rewarding feeling when you accomplish something like this (without cheating), even if it IS nothing more then a video game record. If you plan on beating my 176,488 then get a LOT of proof, such as I have shown on my site. And remember; using Photoshop may trick people into believing you, but accomplishing something on your own will prove to be much more rewarding." -noops- Proof of Noops accomplishments can be seen at: http://community-2.webtv.net/Andrew461/dodo Do you think you can beat Noop's record? Would you like to know how you could do it? Fear not, for I have everything you would want to know. It is simple to do. Plan a starting date, and plan on how you want to fly for each day. It can be one hour, two hours, or ten minutes. Make sure you can fly during fog and rain, if not, then you do not have a chance. The easiest route to take is to circle around the islands. Go behind the mountains on the North side of the city to make your laps longer. If you think that your game might melt, then I have found a way for this not to happen. Whenever you are through with flying for the day, simply take out the GTA3 DVD, but do not turn off your system. The game will "freeze" until the disc is inserted again. Whenever you are ready to start flying again, simply reinsert the disc and the game will continue like nothing had happened. If anyone breaks Noop's record, then send proof to me at email@example.com If I believe that you did break his record, you will receive a special prize. Now get out there and fly! [ 14. Dodo Pilots Elite. ] In this section I will (try) to post everyone's Dodo flying times. The higher time you have, the higher of a ranking you will have. So, if everyone could send in their official Dodo flying records to email@example.com I can get this section started. Remember; do not lie about your time. You get absolutely nothing for having a higher ranking. In order to move up in the rankings, you will have to complete the requirements. Here are the rankings I have decided on and the requirements to be in them: Ranking Time (in seconds) # of Members Beginner 0-19 8 Amateur 20-59 13 Rookie 60-99 3 Novice 100-299 10 Adept 300-599 3 Master 600-999 11 Veteran 1000-2999 28 Legend 3000-9999 12 Elite 10000+ 7 Member Name List (Best Time) Beginner: DW3Attack (12) flipkid (10) NittanyLl0N (7) playstationman (17) ps2junkie26 (12) SERIALMILLER (12) Twystaa da Stunna (17) unleashed4life (17) Amateur: alexcurl (26) Carbine (30) Chibi Bara (29) evilchris (22) J2X (57) link 15 (45) microjavex (27) mikeygarcia1234 (56) red thug (47) systemofadownn (45) tha123kid4real (44) thegtaplayer (52) ThomasTheGreat (28) Rookie: HigherForce (67) reesespuffcereal (71) Tay (78) Novice: Ace8702 (271) Bahamut NEO ZERO (171) blackhawkdown (227) GrumpySpyGuy (216) Kaz13 (252) Mister Scooze (217) Nodforce (200) Ramza Beoulve (256) savagehenry (111) xxxg01s2 (184) Adept: Alandros (432) Jammy (554) qualehtyst (344) Master: adel (884) AssMonkey (847) Bartholamue (715) ChiBChoMBiaNO (753) chris0619 (663) cor404 (980) Donald Love 87 (911) Kornfan32 (887) Lasse (761) soheb (925) The Daemon Kiljaeden (666) Veteran: amack24 (1498) Asasin (2223) azzindahouse (2314) BannedUser554 (1144) BothanSpy (2038) bountyhunter9189 (2212) cj park (1240) Colonel814 (2903) CrazieSpot (1958) DELETED (2598) Edubz (1791) HighFerret (1334) homerhitter (1173) IHaveABellyButton (1512) Jethro Jazz (1523) JonnyBEBOP (1938) my name is pliskin (2564) NZGotMilk (2019) Porsche911 (1019) Rambo Gauge (1673) Rithramier (1704) seca (1379) snoopy0527 (1007) talk2bill (1190) thebigdoubleu (1027) TyrantIsForWCW (2952) whahoo (1066) Wrestlefan (1511) Legend: CableZL (3891) creid (3140) gta3lunatic9 (3676) Jango828 (9400) kenman (6666) Mr Exploso (3380) nodumb (7920) old (5688) OsoVega (9550) Swiftshark (3362) Tyyppi (3037) Videogameking (6960) Elite: Bigal (10230) Jeff Gold (11472) LoveFist VC (10515) MrIQ (23481) **Noops (176488)** Slipknot2 (158400) SteveA64 (10122) Asterisks (*) indicate the world record for flying the Dodo. [ 15. False Rumors. ] One of the most common rumors deals with the full-winged Dodo. It is the red plane that you can see, and destroy, flying around the city. THERE IS NO WAY TO FLY THE FULL-WINGED DODO. Do not e-mail me asking me how to get it for I will ignore you. In addition, there is no way to fly the helicopters, 767s, or any other air vehicle in the game. Again, do not e-mail me asking how to do so for I will ignore you. You do not get anything for flying the Dodo a certain amount of time, just the satisfaction of doing something that few can do. You cannot fly to Disneyland and kill Mickey Mouse. Darkel is not the pilot of the full-winged Dodo. No one pilots it. The Maibatsu Monstrosity is not in the Observatory, on top of Donald Love's building, or in any sea cave. It is not in the game, period. There is not a 4th island in the game. The only thing that might count as a "4th island" would be Ghost Town. There is even a FAQ about it on gamefaqs.com [ 16. TroubleShooting. ] QUESTION: "The Dodo is still losing altitude, but I do everything in your FAQ. What am I doing wrong?" ANSWER: You may be waiting too long to level out. As soon as you take-off you must begin to tap down. Waiting will cause you to gain too much altitude too fast and you will stall out. Q: "I'm leveling out as soon as I take off, but I am still losing altitude. What am I doing wrong?" A: You may be trying to take-off too soon. You have to take-off when you see sparks coming from the bottom of the Dodo or when you hear it scraping the ground. If try to take-off at any other time, you might not have enough speed to maintain altitude. Q: "Do I hold the gas or do I tap it like the other controls?" A: You hold the gas. Do not take your thumb off the button. You must always hold it. Not doing so could cause the Dodo to go out of control. Q: "How do I gain enough altitude to fly over all the buildings?" A: You cannot get enough altitude to fly over all the buildings. You can only get enough to fly over average-sized buildings. [ 17. Flying The Rhino. ] It seems that some people still have problems flying the Dodo even after reading this FAQ. Therefore, I have decided to add a section on how to fly the Rhino. Please note that this section will not be as detailed as flying the Dodo for the simple fact that I do not like to fly the Rhino. First, in order to "fly" the Rhino, you will have to enter a code. The code is: Right, R2, Circle, R1, L2, Down, L1, R1 Once you enter it, a message will come up confirming that you entered the code correct. If it does not, you did not enter the code correctly. Find yourself a Rhino, and turn the turret around using the right Analog stick. The turret should now be faced to the rear of the Rhino. Now, every time you press the fire button (circle), the Rhino will gain speed. Now go to the runway at the airport, and begin firing the turret while you hold the gas. Once the Rhino reaches the terminal speed, it will begin to lift off. Once you are in the air, you do not need to hold the gas, but you do need to keep firing the turret. Turning the Rhino is extremely difficult. When you do turn, do like you do in the Dodo. Tap in the direction you want, and never hold. If you do hold, you WILL go into a Barrel Roll. It is impossible to recover from a Barrel Roll in the Rhino. The Rhino is almost flown the same way as the Dodo. You can level out, but unlike the Dodo, it is not necessary. That is all I can think to say about flying the Rhino. [ 18. Outro. ] Thanks for reading this FAQ! I hope this helped you to learn to fly the Dodo. If you are still uncertain about something, then e-mail me (firstname.lastname@example.com) and I will try to help you. If anybody has a better technique for anything, than e-mail me. If I like it, I will put it in the FAQ and give you full credit. Happy Flying! [ 19. Legal Stuff. ] This guide is copyrighted 2002 and sole property of Chris Boone, the author of this guide.

Thanks to CjayC for creating the best gaming website, and allowing this FAQ to appear on it. Thanks to Noops for his contribution in the "Going For The Record" section. Thanks to AcidicFish for his contribution of an easier view to take-off with the Dodo. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the "Dodo Pilots Elite" section. Thanks to the early Dodo pilots on the GameFAQs message boards. Without them, I would not have learned how to fly, and there would not be a Dodo Flying FAQ. [ 21.

To put it simply, if you rip off this FAQ, I will rip you off financially. I have already been settled several thousand dollars from copyright infringements on this guide. So you decide which is better: Ripping me off by taking my FAQ without my permission and getting sued for copyright infringement (a Federal malfeasance) or getting my permission and giving me FULL CREDIT for this guide. If you were like me, then you would not mind having extra several dollars and not having a criminal record. Here are some additions to this guide to look for in the upcoming months: (1) Possible more in-depth guide to flying the Rhino. (2) More tricks to do in the Dodo. Okay, I am tired of typing now.
