text: BluBear 435 Report post Posted February 15, 2016 Morning Gents! I've been trying to find an opportunity to chat to some of you about a new rig build on comms, but it's been a bit busy lately and by the time co-ops start fizzling out i've clean forgotten about mentioning it! I'm sure the old man won't mind me posting this here on his behalf. Long and short of it is, now the Tiger Moth is done, the next project at long last is a brand spanking new rig to run everything we fly. The way it'll be funded means, he'd like to amass the components steadily throughout the year with the ultimate aim of it being ready to run by next winter. It needs to be relatively future proof but not break-the-bank expensive, it needs to run DCS and CloD comfortably with a high graphics setting. (I imagine that would include an Nvidia 980 GPU or equivalent when the time comes?) First on the list that can be purchased almost immediately, would be CPU+Mobo. I see things have moved on somewhat since I built my 'new' rig two years ago, but the i5 is still the way to go right? I've found this combo on ebuyer: Intel Core i5 4690K 3.5GHz Socket 1150 6MB L3 Cache Retail Boxed Processor 645547 £189.99 MSI Z97 GAMING 3 Socket 1150 VGA DVI HDMI DisplayPort 7.1 Channel Audio ATX Motherboard 641278 £95.99 Total: £285.98 Open to suggestions / direction Thanks in advance Dogz!

Research shows plans to increase threshold at which tax is paid will overwhelmingly benefit rich families in south-east England
A £1bn Conservative inheritance tax cut will exacerbate the north-south divide, an MP has warned, as figures lay bare the winners and losers of a flagship government policy.
People inheriting homes in constituencies in London and south-east England will gain the lion's share of the benefits from the tax cut, according to research commissioned by the Labour MP Rachel Reeves.
Of the 100 constituencies that will benefit the most, 96 are in London or the south-east and are mostly held by Tories, with 31 in and around London held by Labour.

raw fast
after whacking my back out of alignment by falling down the birthcenter stairs, i took a week to stay in, get chiropractic adjustments, and do a cleansing fast. my lunch on this day was a brilliant array of colorful produce, and i even ate the raw rhubarb and raw dinosaur kale with surprising gusto. what a pretty plate of food. my housemate jessica thought so too, so much so that she didn't even blink an eye when i began photographing it.

"…being a samurai is a burden." – Shimada Shinzaemon
Miike Takashi (Takashi Miike to those in the West) has always been one of my favorite filmmakers and I consider him one of the most unique directors working. To say that he has an extensive body of work would be an understatement. This is a man who is quite at home at releasing 2-3 films a year. He has dabbled in all sorts of genres from drama, thrillers, horror, scifi, musicals and even children's stories. Those who discovered him in the West mostly remember him for his more extreme films such as Audition, Ichi the Killer and his Dead or Alive epic. He's taken extreme film-making to some unpredictable plac. While some of his films never work one could never say that they were ever boring or uninteresting.
In 2010, Miike released what I can only say is one of his best films to date with his remake of Tengan Daisuke's 1963 film of the same name. 13 Assassins is Miike's take on the classic jidaigeki (Japanese Edo period pieces…think of it as similar in idea to Merchant-Ivory period pieces) which incudes such great films as Kurosawa's Seven Samurai, Rashomon and Yojimbo to name a few. This film also shares some similarities to the "men on a mission" war films which were quite popular during the early 60's which included one of my other top action films in The Dirty Dozen.
The film is loosely based on some historical characters from the Tokugawa Shogunate era mainly that of Lord Naritsugu of the Akashi clan. In this film he's portrayed as a sadistic young noble whose familial ties to the ruling Shogun allows him to kill and rape both commoners and nobles alike with impunity. When a high government official fears for the government and the country should Naritsugo ever ascends to a higher position in the Shogunate he takes it upon himself to hire a trusted friend and veteran samurai, Shinzaemon (Kōji Yakusho), to plan and pull off the assassination of Lord Naritsugo.
From this moment on the film takes it's time in introducing the men who would form the film's title. It doesn't linger or take too long with each man, but we learn enough of these 13 assassins to form some sort of attachment to each and everyone that the loss of each man, once the battle begins between Shinzaemon's assassins and Naritsugu's 200 bodyguards, has emotional impact and meaning. Even knowing that this mission ultimately becomes a suicide task still doesn't stop the surprise when one of these men falls to the blades of their enemies.
The assassins themselves were quite a diverse group of characters that could've been lifted off your typical "men on a mission" film. We have the goofballs with the talent for explosives, younger samurai eager to prove themselves in battle and to their masters, veteran samurai looking to do one more last job before they retire from the life right up to the last-minute addition of a fool whose unique skill sets becomes integral to the missions success.
13 Assassins begins the final 45 minutes of its running time with a non-stop battle which rivals anything we've seen put out by Hollywood in the past ten years. Unlike the sturm und drang actionfests from Michael Bay and those who seem to emulate his style of action film-making, Miike takes a much more restrained approach to the proceedings. This is not to say that the action in this film was boring. He allows the audience to know exactly what's going on with long takes and minimal amount of edits. I don't think he ever used too many quick cuts to help simulate chaos during the fight. Instead he lets the practical stunt choreography and the inventive set design of the village turned killing field to dictate the flow of the action. It's quite interesting to note how a filmmaker such as Miike whose reputation in the West has been built on his style of extreme visuals and imagery on film would be quite adept at such a thing as traditional filmmaking that eschews heavy-usage of CGI, quick-cut editing and unnecessary montages to help propel not just the action but the film's narrative.
Again, unlike the Bay-fest the West has been flooded with the last decade or so this film also has as one of it's strength's the story all the action revolves around. The story itself is quite simple when one really boils it down to it's most basic premise. Evil lord sows chaos around the countryside and a group of honor-bound fighting men band together for one reason or another to stop this evil. It's a story as old as Beowulf and as recent as 2010's trio of such films with The Losers, The A-Team and the Expendables. What this film does with it's characters which helps it stand out from that trio is how well Miike was able to balance not just the action with the story but how to make each character in the film seem unique despite being so stereotypical of such films at first glance.
The acting by the ensemble cast (a who's-who of performers in Japanese, but mostly unknown to Western audiences) adds just the right mix of melancholy and dark humor not to mention some rock star-like work from it's lead antagonist. Gorô Inagaki (himself not just a talented actor but one of Japan's more popular pop star singers) as Lord Naritsugu brings energy as the evil lord to every scene he's in not because of being so over-the-top but the opposite. He plays this villain as a noble bored with the peaceful days enjoyed by everyone and could only enjoy what life has to offer when he brings chaos to the proceedings. The fact that this involves him raping the women of a fellow noble and cutting off the limbs of a nameless young girl just shows how much out of touch he is with reality and at the same time romanticizes the age of war hundreds of years in the past. The rest of the cast does an admirable job in their own roles. To say that it was difficult to see one of them die on-screen would be an understatement.
13 Assassins was released in 2010, but really got it's major showing in the United States in early 2011. Despite all of that and with the eclectic group of films I was fortunate enough to have seen in 2011 that made my "best of" list it would be this film that ranks as one of the best of 2011 and also one of my favorite films of recent times. Miike Takashi has shown himself to be now just a filmmaker provocateur whose reputation for shocking audiences have bee well-earned, but also cemented the true fact that he is a filmmaker (both in and out of Hollywood) who has the skills and know-how to escape being labeled as only a filmmaker of a particular genre. His restraint and decision to remake a classic film in the jidaigeki genre shows that while he hasn't lost his panache for extreme brutality (and this film has them to satiate action and gore fans everywhere) he can also create a film using the subtle brushstrokes of traditional, old-school filmmaking. With this film he has made one of finest and cements his place in the roll call of best filmmakers of the last quarter-century.

Holy cow, Denalee!! That is wonderful and courageous. I have no doubt that you will be as beautiful without hair as you are with. Your mom is indeed fortunate to have a daughter like you.ReplyDelete

I LOVED when Natalie Portman (first picture) shaved her hair. She looked amzing. Inspired by her and tired to fight with her curls, a close friend of mine did the same. And you know what?? Not only hollywood superstars look great with shaved heads. She looked great. And you will too!!!ReplyDelete
You will look great! Show it off! Have a wonderful Monday and see you soon:)ReplyDelete
What an amazing thing you're doing, and I think you will look gorgeous... last weekend I saw a stunning woman at the deli with her head shaved... she was all dressed up and I just couldn't take my eyes off of her, she was so beautiful!ReplyDelete
Yes it can, I'm not sure it would be my best look ever, but definitely empowering.ReplyDelete
You are amazing. If you read back through my blog when you visited you know that I'm dealing with my mom's serious health issues too. My mom was supposed to be having chemo by now, but a massive stroke ended that hope. So, she won't lose her hair...but, we will lose her probably sooner than later. It is so hard isn't it...realizing that our mothers aren't superhuman. I think what you are doing for your mother is such a great gift of love. As for the look...my mom and I had the discussion when she thought she was having chemo. She would have wanted a wig. I get so hot...I would wear really funky scarves in all sorts of bright colors.ReplyDelete
you'll look beautiful! and if you're having a less confident day, mascara and some blush can do wonders and make you feel like a million dollars!ReplyDelete

Park your car at the carpark beside the powerstation and walk a few meters to the entrance with the signs of the walkways, then follow the path until you reach a bridge and follow a small path to the river where you follow the by hopping over the stones to the bigger river. Then cross a small cold stream and the small stream for the hot temperature. There are several hotspots. Do not forget repellent, the sandflies are beastly!! If you have, take a tool with you to dig.

We visited the pools in June. A bit difficult to spot them, as they are located in the river basin. Could be that they disappear when the river carries more water. Dig your own pool and you will be rewarded with warm water right next to the cool river. Found one mud-built pool, max. knee deep. Had a great time with beautiful view, sandflies were gentle when we were in the water.

Once upon a time, workers applying for government jobs knew that while the pay was less than the private sector, the benefits, from health insurance to time off and guaranteed pensions, more than made up for it. Over time, however, the line of demarcation between relatively low income and great benefits began to diminish. Now public employees seem to get a sweet deal both with pay and benefits. There has been some reform on the state and county level to try and scale back unreasonable retirement benefits, a big bone of contention for more conservative-leaning watchdogs, accusing certain public employees of taking advantage of the system. While the fight is ongoing over what private employees feel public employees should earn versus what public employees feel they deserve, there seems to be a bit of a glitch in the system about pay for firefighters and police. With regard to overtime specifically, the issue of recently cutting $1 million in the overtime budget for Oxnard firefighters is coming to a head.
Before discussing this most recent issue, it's important to compare the status quo of qualifying overtime as regular income to other fire departments. It's unclear when the practice began, but it's something most people are used to and that firefighters and police officers have become rather notorious for. When looking at the private sector, overtime is something management has to control or it can change a profit-turning business into one that is no longer in business. But for firefighters and law enforcement, it appears to be the norm.
The 2014 California Firefighter Total Compensation Survey, prepared by CalHR's Office of Financial Management and Economic Research, May 30, 2014, compared 18 cities (including Oxnard), two counties (including Ventura County) and CAL FIRE (state-level firefighters) total monthly compensation, including base salary, planned overtime, employer paid benefits, and sick, vacation and holiday time. The survey showed that Ventura County ranked fifth among the highest paid at $16,169 monthly, amounting to $194,028 per year, with Santa Monica the highest at $18,403. The lowest was CAL FIRE at $11,051 while Oxnard ranked in the lower half at 14th place with $12,809. Comparing monthly planned overtime costs, CAL FIRE is the highest at $1,825, followed by Ontario at $1,417. Ventura County ranked fourth at $678 and Oxnard was eighth at $487. This survey reveals that Oxnard clearly isn't the worst, but also, being the worst in overtime pay doesn't mean good overall pay. But we digress. While the issue at hand is much simpler than all of this, we should also take a look at what kind of calls Oxnard firefighters take.
In Oxnard for 2014, of the 15,860 calls for service, 350 were actually fires, or 2 percent of the total. The majority of the calls — 10,867 — were rescue, emergency medical responses (ambulance, EMS, rescue). With this, perhaps there needs to be some restructuring done in the fire department, maybe there should be two different departments — one for answering just medical calls and the other for everything else. Perhaps there is a better way to spend taxpayer dollars for emergency services than to use overtime as a justification as Oxnard scrambles to straighten out its own financial problems — Oxnard was put on credit rating agency Standard and Poor's negative credit watch in September. Oxnard cut $12.8 million from the general fund and had to borrow $16 million via Measure O just to pay the bills. Clearly, the city is in trouble.
What all of this boils down to, however, in the city of Oxnard, just as the new fire chief Bryan Brice takes over this month where two-year chief James Williams left off, is that firefighters are upset that the city had to cut $1 million in overtime pay to handle the city's financial woes. The cuts included the brownout, or the (for the lack of a better term) decommissioning of a two man truck, the Rescue 66. The operation of that truck has been estimated to cost the department $400,000 per year. Also, there were cuts to training and public appearances. But with regards to the rescue truck, was it vital to emergency services? We tend to be critical and think that isn't the case.
In 2014 in Oxnard, the average base salary, according to the compensation survey, was $67,404, with overtime pay at an average of $28,534 — 42 percent of the base — and a net total of $3 million paid in overtime for fire fighters, according to recent news report. We think that firefighters should just pull up their boot straps and cope with the cuts made by their struggling city. There are plenty of good people looking for a good and secure paycheck, great benefits and to spend most of their time on less dangerous medical calls.

Congrats on the 100 mark! Looking forward to the next 265!
I actually went to a placement agency for an office job at the beginning of this year, and ended up at reception at a "medical clinic" which ended up being the biggest cosmetic surgery place in the city. We had to turn AWAY people who needed it for things like scars, burns etc. and had to upsell to those who wanted boob jobs, lipo and botox. It was awful - I couldn't handle promoting the idea you had to change yourself in order to be attractive. It was basically capitalising on people's insecurity. I left after three days!!

maybe unrelated, but once my ex-gf and I were watching some makeover show and I commented on how even after all the work some of the women were not overly attractive.

The Peanut Butter Solution

wow, thats beautiful, what a fantastic thoughtful child xReplyDelete
That. Is. Awesome. What a good heart that boy has.ReplyDelete
Have you heard of WOW butter? My son makes out hard with peanut butter but can't bring it to school since it is a peanut free zone. I ran out of options to make his lunch interesting enough to pick at when the teacher told me about WOW butter. It's a peanut butter tasting spread but no peanuts. Don't ask me how that works.
Where I live it is a tad pricey. It's like 5 to 6 bucks a jar and it's as small as a jam jar. But if that's what he loves eating, it might be worth it. Here is the linky dinky:
Whaaa? That's fantastic! He seriously won't even open his little sandwich box thingy because of his friend's allergy. Yay, now my son may be able to eat again!!!Delete
And, now that I have read that website, I feel like a tool for even sending him peanut butter in the first place! But our school doesn't have the peanut free policy. I'm the worst!Delete
That is the cutest thing. Seriously. Another alternative to peanut butter may be Sunbutter. Check if the kid's allergy is nuts or also seeds. If it is just nuts, then sunbutter is a good option and Trader Joes and other places carry it and it is not pricey. I offer this as a mom of one child who is autistic and another with nut allergies.ReplyDelete
but seriously, that is so stinking sweet how he looks out for his buddy. Love it.Replies
Super cool! And, I swear, I'm so freaking proud of him! Aaaaaannnddd...he just came lurching out of his room making zombie sounds. Yep. Still proud.Delete
oh and now I need to google the "Peanut Butter Solution". How have I never heard of this movie?ReplyDeleteReplies
This movie is responsible for about 63% of my childhood traumas. I don't even know why, either. It's just unsettling.Delete

That's like save-humanity awesome.ReplyDelete
Sunbutter? It's sunflower seeds. Tell him nobody's allergic to it. And to the best of my knowledge, nobody is.
Almond butter? Cashew butter?
So wonderfully empathetic.Replies
There's so many different kinds of butter!Delete

We all have people who criticize us and the things we do. Maybe they are family, friends, or strangers on the Internet. Either way, if the criticism is not constructive, it really sucks!
This is a post that I have been hesitant to post, but it is a feeling I have been stewing on. I know other people feel the same way I do, so I am ready to come out and write this. I am ready to speak for so many people who are frustrated.
This post is for those of us who have some serious goals, who run a small business, who have a passion, and ALL OF THE ABOVE. We are girl bosses, we are apart of a team, we are trying to make our lives better, and we are trying to help others.
This can mean different things for different people.
Personally, I have all of the above and they are all tied into one another. I own a small business, both with Herbalife and outside of Herbalife, and I am passionate about health and fitness. I have been criticized so much for being healthy and trying to help others get healthy and remain healthy.
I think getting and being healthy is the most stupid thing to be criticized for. I get shit on, for lack of better words, for scheduling time out of my day to go to the gym. I drink my shakes, I stay hydrated, and I make sure to really take good care of my body. I am also a well-balanced person so I am not afraid to drink alcohol, go out to eat, and have some fun with my husband and friends. Basically what I am trying to say is that I live a balanced life but I still seem to be criticized for the actions I do take to make sure that it is balanced.
People have criticized me both to my face, behind my back, and on social media. People whom I considered friends have muted me or unfollowed/unfriended me from social media. People are basically offended about me wanting to be healthy and I am quite confused about it, honestly.
I know other people have gone through (or are going through) the same thing and feel the same way.
So, here's the thing:
I personally do not criticize others about their life choices (usually) unless they ask for my honest opinion. Why are you doing that to us?
I don't comment about people who drink too much, who eat too much fast food, who don't stay physically active, who are chronically dehydrated, and the like. Why don't I? Because if you can't admit it to yourself then you're not going to listen to me so what's the point in wasting my time?
Besides, if you are happy living life just the way you are and don't want to change a thing, then why should I care?
Why do you care?
Secondly, if you were a true friend to us, wouldn't you love the fact that we are doing something that we are passionate about and that makes us happy? Would it kill you to support us or at least just keep your opinions to yourself?
I personally workout and focus on my health because I know what it's like to be sick and weak. I have been on the brink of death in the past and for those of you who don't know what that feels like, you're lucky. I never want to feel like that again, so yes, I am taking care of my body and I am trying to be the strongest and best version of myself, physically and mentally.
(Also I am in the military so I have to pass a yearly physical training test.)
Just because I am doing something that you don't see a point in or don't like does not mean you get to shit on me.
What happened to support others as long as they aren't hurting anyone?
For those of you who are in my shoes:
Never forget that this is your life and you need to do what makes you happy. Don't even consider what others think or say when you are going for your goals!
Always stay kind and support those you love, even if they don't support you. Why? To set an example. We are leaders and sometimes that means swallowing our negative feelings and killing people with love and kindness.
Stay true to yourself, stay positive, and you will attract like-minded people.

What is 'ITAD'?
The acronym 'ITAD' stands for 'IT Asset Disposal', and refers to the handling and disposal of end-of-life IT items, such as laptops and PCs. Proper IT disposal is carried out by accredited ITAD service providers and prioritises security and adherence to environmental regulations.
When disposing of end-of-life IT, security is a top priority. The security of the data the end-of-life assets hold and the security of the processes used to dispose of the assets are equally important. As a company, you are responsible for any client data that you store. As such, any data leaks or the mishandling of assets during the disposal process that results in the misuse of this data could result in your company being held legally responsible.
To avoid the mishandling of data, be sure to choose an ADISA accredited IT disposal partner with secure premises and staff that employ a rigorous disposal process.
For your peace of mind, Tier 1's ADISA accredited disposal service tracks individual components of the assets we handle as well as what stages in the disposal or refurbishment process the assets are at. We are a Blancco Gold Partner and champion transparency, offering timely and accurate reporting on all of your data bearing assets.
The two key things that need to be considered when disposing of IT assets are security and the environmental impact of your waste. GDPR, WEEE and environmental legislation cover these areas, and therefore it's important to use an accredited ITAD company who complies with these. At Tier 1, we are fully compliant with all data and environmental legislation and pride ourselves on providing a service that helps to reduce e-waste while offering security in both the physical and digital aspects of our disposal process.
Want to know more about the ITAD process and how Tier 1 can help your company with your IT asset disposal or refurbishment? Get in touch with our friendly, knowledgeable team today.

D.C. Now The Only Jurisdiction That Totally Bans Concealed Carry
Well ... legal concealed carry
Florida is preparing to issue its 1 millionth concealed-carry permit while a federal court ruling this week left the nation's capital as the only place in the United States with a total ban on carrying concealed weapons — developments that have gun advocates feeling that momentum is on their side in the national debate over whether Americans can remain armed once they leave home.
The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday that the Illinois legislature has 180 days to come up with some type of concealed-carry law, overruling gun control proponents in the final holdout among the states.
The ruling is considered encouraging for the plaintiffs in a similar lawsuit pending in the District, whose Democratic leadership has resisted attempts to loosen its gun laws, citing public safety and its role as the host to important leaders and diplomats.

Dear Bionutrient Food Association Members & Supporters:
It is with much excitement that I invite you to join us for the 7th annual Soil & Nutrition conference coming up November 28-30 at the Southbridge Hotel and Conference Center, in Southbridge, Massachusetts.
For so many reasons, this year's conference is going to be especially spectacular! We are not only honored to be bringing you a luminous array of leaders in soil and nutrition to teach the cutting edge information available today, but we will also hold a press conference to introduce the first handheld prototype of the Bionutrient Meter to measure quality and nutrient density, initially making it available to researchers. This first version of the device will help launch the new Real Food Campaign to make the unit affordable for people around the world.
Before the conference even starts, we will host a creative strategy meeting on November 28th with key leaders in the food quality movement, to collaborate and dig deeply into the implementation of the Real Food Campaign. We look forward to your participation in crafting a multi-pronged approach to drive the systemic shift in the quality of the food supply we have been seeking. Together, we will take vital steps to meaningfully achieve our goals as we get into the full conference.
For the first time in our conference history, in light of the world premier of the Bionutrient Meter, I will be giving this year's keynote address, happily sharing the amazing progress that we've been going through at the Bionutrient Food Association to bring the tool to life. We'll discuss how it works and ways we are ready to move markets in the direction of the best quality food possible on earth.
Discover a peaceful New England getaway at the Southbridge Hotel & Conference Center, located minutes from Sturbridge and less than an hour's drive from Boston, Springfield, Hartford, CT, and Providence, RI.
Nestled alongside the Quinebaug River in the charming Massachusetts town of Southbridge, this acclaimed property provides an ideal setting for both a relaxing retreat and productive conference.
With an impressive 24,000 square feet of high-tech meeting space, property-wide wi-fi and on-site audiovisual technicians, our conference center is one of the most advanced facilities in New England.

Dear Auntie Druid,
I'm seeking guidance on a work related matter, I have recently quit my job and don't know what to do next.
I had a really good job, an important job with loads of responsibility, and more authority than you could wave a shitty stick at. No matter what I did everybody slagged me off and said I was a tosser, they also said i couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery. I didn't care, as Mr Sinatra famously said, I did it my way.
Unfortunately circumstances changed, so I told them to shove the job up their arse.
I'm looking to get into a new career, preferably something less challenging. This week alone I have applied for 51 call centre jobs but I've been told by the job centre I'd be better suited to working in a dildo factory, painting the mushroom tips.
Auntie Druid, what would you advise me to do? Should I persevere with the call centre path or do you think I should take the advice from the job centre and enter the rubber dick world?
Kind regards,
Davey C.
Dear Tosser,
It sounds like you haven't had much praise in your previous job, but walking out is a bit of a shit bag move. Oh well, it's done.
Personally I'd go for the dildo factory, your efforts will be appreciate and you would sleep better at night knowing your work has contributed to satisfying thousands of people for once. No longer will people call you a tosser, they will see you as the saviour of their sex lives…or lack of.
Of course, there's always the perk of staff discount, should you wish to experience your handiwork first hand.

On your first question – the logbook has to say that the differences training has been conducted. So wherever and however, the words "differences training" and the difference itself should be mentioned. That can of course be next to the flight. You cannot simply imply "aircraft X has feature Y, and it was a training flight, so obviously I was trained in feature Y". You need to prove that specific training was performed, not just a flight
Is that a universal principle?
My vague recollection of the US system is that if you do a checkride in a given type, then you are checked out on that type.
However, in the US system, the examiner is entitled to request a demonstration of everything installed, which is not the case in Europe.
Peter wrote:
My vague recollection of the US system is that if you do a checkride in a given type, then you are checked out on that type.
Any endorsement has to be written in the log book as such and I'm paraphrasing here: I, CFI (number) certify to have given (name) ground and flight instruction in (fill in type) and find him/her to be competent in the operation of high-power/complex/ tailwheel / whatever airplanes.
You cannot do a checkride in an airplane you're not legal to fly for the simple reason that during a checkride YOU are PIC.
It's indeed highly country specific- our Estonian CAA said last year that for PPL holders all SEP(land) variants are OK without any written record, for LAPL they want differences training signed by instructor .
If you have done your PPL training e.g. on a SEP with EFIS and SLPC then no differences training is required.
If you then fly something turbocharged or with retractable gear, you need a flight with a FI and his signature that a differences training for RG and TC has been performed.
Anyway, it doesn't seem like – in the past 16 years – anybody has ever been charged for flying without the prescribed differences training. Nor during a routine check and neither during a post-incident investigation. Or?
The German ramp check form that I got presented with this January didn't say a word about this…. it's a fringe piece of regulation not "practiced" by the aviation authorities…
I did a series of checkouts (and flights) in N reg SR22s (both in Europe and the US) and no one ever asked to see that endorsement.
Since I'm on a 61.75, I wasn't sure if that was a requirement, but last time I renewed my (outfit) currency on an SR22 in the US, I asked the instructor to "sign" it (type it on my e logbook) just to be 100% if ever I need to have an annoying chat with the insurers.
He was surprised I didn't have it, especially since I had flown an SR22 quite a few times with them :)
Noe wrote:
He was surprised I didn't have it, especially since I had flown an SR22 quite a few times with them :)
Had same story for "high performance sign-off" in the US on 61.75 license based on EASA license that does not need it !
The guy who did my BFR and checkout in the US was not even sure how this work for FAA61.75 on EASA, also not sure if this was required for >200hp or >=200hp or if the aircraft was 200hp, 201hp or 199hp
At the start he told me I will not need one, at the end he changed his mind and decided to add that entry in my logbook to be on the safe side, he meant for him as CFI doing BFR and checkout: he told me worst case scenario I have an HP sign-off
that I don't need on a non-HP aircraft, so better than the other way around
Thank you for all your answers! I will ask the Dutch CAA next week what their position on the matter is as it seems to hinge on additional national legislation.

I concur that a training flight as such in a particular variant does not necessitate any particular training, but the point I raised was that a solo flight on a particular type, the flight being signed off by an instructor, necessitates that the (student) pilot needs to be acquainted with the differences of the plane, and that such a logbook entry therefore has all the features of a differences training endorsement (and as long as the Dutch CAA in my case does not prescribe a certain format, there is no legal basis for any specific entry format).
Cobalt wrote:
On your second question – does SLPC count for VP and turbo in a Thielert / Austro Diesel?
Since you learned how to push forward and pull back a power lever, it should be clear that you can't get as sign-off for preventing blowing up the engine (turbo), and tweaking three separate levers (VP prop), as you learned neither.
For similar reasons as above I would contest – barring any further specific regulation by "my" CAA – that your statement has a legal basis. It is understood that a turbocharged engine with controls for the turbo might necessitate additional training, but in GM1 FCL.700 there is no mentioning that a feature of the airplane (VP, TC, etc.) needs a cockpit control thereof in order to qualify. Again, it is not contested that from a purely practical perspective any change in airplanes needs getting acquainted with its respective peculiarities, but if the authorities wanted a difference training for an aircraft with TC controls, they would need to write that in the regulations, and not that the aircraft simply has a turbo-charged engine as laid out in Part-FCL. Similar reasons would also apply for e.g. a Rotax 914 engined plane.
Diesel thielert powered engine are given to SLPC, not turbo neither VP, as the VP is automatically managed by the SLPC system (the ECU), from what I have been granted by my fto.
You claiming you learned anything abut VP prop and turbo operation in a Thielert diesel is just plain silly. No instructor would sign your logbook and say that he conducted turbo or VP differences training in a Thielert diesel aircraft, because he cannot teach these things on that aircraft, regardless of exactly what needs teaching.
And the fact that you claim this makes it obvious why the law so clearly says "The differences training shall be entered in the pilot's logbook or equivalent record and signed by the instructor as appropriate" – the instructor needs to enter which training was conducted to avoid nonsense like this.
You should simply ask your instructor to write the magic words "Differences Training SLPC" next go the flight. Good luck convincing him to enter Turbo and VP prop as well.

Ilyas joins Al Markhiya on loan from Al Duhail
QNB Stars League's promoted team Al Markhiya, in their bid to further strengthen the squad, signed striker Abdulqadir Ilyas on loan from Al Duhail.
Ilyas, who has proved his worth as an attacker, has also played for Umm Salal and Al Sailiya. He is expected to join the squad as they train ahead of their forthcoming QSL Cup fixtures. They will play Al Rayyan on Tuesday and Al Ahli on 12th November in the third and fourth round respectively.
Al Markhiya, coached by Yousef Adam, are 10th in the QNB Stars League standings with five points. They had played out a 1-1 draw with Al Gharafa in Round 7.
The Oryxes had recently roped in former Qatar national team defender Bilal Mohammed and midfielder Anas Mubarak, both from Al Gharafa.

If you have sensitive gums, there is likely an underlying problem that needs to be addressed. You could have gum disease as a result of poor oral hygiene or a failure to clean the plaque buildup around your gums. To avoid contracting any infections around your teeth, it's imperative that you maintain a consistent routine to keep your smile healthy.
[H2] Taking the First Steps
Brushing your teeth may seem like the obvious solution to preventing gum disease. However, there is a bit more to it than that. First and foremost, you need to make sure you're brushing at least twice a day. Dentists usually recommend brushing after every meal, but if you can't do that, then once in the morning and before bed will do wonders to keep your teeth and gums healthy.
Flossing is also as important as brushing. Many people ignore this critical step in their dental routine, but it can help tremendously to remove plaque and food stuck between your teeth that your brush cannot reach. Additionally, dentists suggest using fluoride toothpaste since it can reduce gingivitis.
Avoid sensitive gums by taking the necessary steps to improve your oral hygiene. Once you hit adulthood, you only get one set of teeth, so it is of the utmost importance that you take care of them.

Navigate the site
Over the next few years Stevenage Borough Council will be investing almost £1.5 million to improve play areas across the town, making sure that they provide fun and exciting places for children and teenagers to enjoy. Larger sites, such as the main parks and bigger open spaces, will make provision for toddlers through to teenagers, while smaller sites will include equipment for younger children.
Work will include refurbishing existing sites and installing new equipment, with some sites benefitting from landscaping.
The timetable for delivery will be:
Consultation with local children and young people will contribute to the play area improvements. As in previous years, they will be asked to choose their favourite 5 items of play equipment. The most popular choices will be included in the brief that is sent out to play equipment companies so that we can deliver improvements that meet the needs of local youngsters.

Russia responds to British actions with similar ones
NEWS DESK– Russia responded to the expulsion of diplomats from Britain against the background of the poisoning case of Russian-British double, and decided to expel 23 British diplomats and declared them "undesirable."
"Twenty-three British diplomats in Moscow have been declared undesirable persons in the country and are demanding that they leave Russia within a week," the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
Russian Foreign Ministry also announced that Moscow was withdrawing its approval for the opening of a British consulate in St. Petersburg and confirmed that it had issued a decision to suspend the activities of British Council in the Russian Federation.
Relations between the two countries have been strained following the discovery of a Russian- British double agent poisoned client with his daughter in Britain. The latter accused Russia of using nerve gas to poison the agent and took several measures against Russia.
Among the measures, Britain decided to deport 23 Russian diplomats and give them a week to leave, suspended all bilateral contacts and withdrew its invitation to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov to visit the kingdom, and froze Russian assets.

After two decades working as a travel writer I've learned never to leave home without a hammock. I've slept in my hammock on cargo boats and yachts and in more jungle camps and desert camps (strung between vehicles) than I care to count. In remote villages my hammock has provided comfortable, secure and insect-free accommodation where no other option was available.
But hammocks are not only for expedition use. In countless backpacker hotels mine has done service as the most comfortable of sofas and even in relatively luxurious lodges I've used it as a work-desk (I probably write better in my hammock than anywhere else). Even a humble picnic is not complete without a hammock. Even when I'm at "home" my hammock is left out in the garden for permanent use as garden furniture. Start travelling with a hammock and you'll soon see that it's less a sleeping solution, and more a way of life.
I've put 20 years of research into designing SC Hammocks, the world's best hammock for travellers. These are double hammocks (for an infinitely more comfortable night's sleep) and come complete with fitted mosquito net and poncho/rain cover; they're now being made from top-quality materials by skilled craftsmen in Bali. For purchase details see below, and to see how to string up and use the sleeping system, please watch the video at the top of this page.
Features of SC Hammocks
- No knots – secure and easy hanging
- Roof is black and silver – if you prefer privacy and not to be seen to easily use black, silver is best for sunshade if you want to leave your hammock up in the day
- Most hammock virgins sleep with their bodies in line with the strings. This is wrong. Because SC Hammocks are double size, you can sleep diagonally across the hammock and you'll find that rather than having a curved spine you are able to stretch out almost flat.
- Best for almost any camping trip (even the most arid of deserts if you have 2 vehicles)
- Unless in torrential conditions aim for a relatively shallow pitch on your roof so that you still have visibility around your camp (none of that Blair Witch Project claustrophobia)
- Hammock packs into its own bag, which doubles as a big pocket (keep your head-lanp, toothbrush, book etc so that you can string up your entire bedroom with just 2 clicks).
- One size (king-size) fits all – After a few nights in truly minuscule jungle cocoons I came to the conclusion that for minimal extra weight you should choose a large hammock that ensures a good night's sleep even for two people…and one of the best night's rest you will ever have for one.
Weight: 600g (double hammock) / 1,6kg (full sleeping system: hammock, mosquito net and poncho/roof in tough, specially designed pack)
Also available simply as a double-size hammock (exc mosquito net and roof) for just US$65. The most comfortable piece of furniture you will ever own!

What is the best perk of blogging (besides being occasionally accused of heresy by mean people hiding behind computer keyboards and sighing heavily whenever I click over to see what Google analytics has to say about my "traffic," that is)? Getting free books in the mail. I always love free books. A few weeks ago, I especially loved getting a big fat package with several hardcover copies of Disquiet Time: Rants and Reflections on the Good Book by the Skeptical, the Faithful, and a Few Scoundrels (Jericho).
I turned first to my own chapter in Disquiet Time. Titled "Broken and Bent," it is a reflection on that fact that, despite all those healings he did, Jesus never actually has a conversation unrelated to the healing that is about to or just did take place (at least not one that was recorded) with someone whose body is failing, limited, or in pain due to illness or disability. And we never see Jesus experience sickness or pain firsthand, except at the crucifixion, when his pain is significant but doesn't happen in the context of his daily life as it does for so many of us. This absence of direct Jesus-talk to my daily experience frustrates me. It frustrates a lot of Christians I think, who go on to make up silly wise-sounding but ultimately ridiculous little theologies of suffering. You know the ones: "Everything happens for a reason," and "God won't give you more than you can handle," and "God gives special children to special parents," blah blah blah. I don't accept such easy (or warped) theology. But I do believe Jesus has been present to me in some of the worst moments of living with my particular genetic condition. My chapter is the story of my frustration and my faith in spite of it.
After I read my own chapter, I read some others. And I was completely, utterly smitten.
I read Ian Morgan Cron's chapter "Wherever Two or Three are Gathered," about his uphill battle to foster an evangelical church in staid, mainline Connecticut, where I grew up and now am raising a family. I laughed with recognition upon reading this:
Affluent New Englanders classify religious enthusiasm as a social disease. They'd rather be trapped in a corner at a cocktail party with someone who wants to talk about their battle with involuntary flatulence than in the same room with a Christian talking about Jesus
By the time Cron got to how he sees the Bible—"As an artist who was raised and educated by Roman Catholics, I viewed the Scriptures more sacramentally than dialogically. For me, the Bible was the story that explained the way the world is, not the "manufacturer's operating instructions for living," as my [seminary] classmates called it"—I was hooked.
Cron goes on to tell a story about hope and love and new life being made real—really real—right in his fledgling little church that met in a smelly middle school auditorium with various drama sets as backdrop. What Cron knows in light of this experience is that "the entire Bible could be reduced to one idea: God is in the resurrection business…[I]f you don't know that we live in a multichance universe created by a God who loves us, who weeps for us, and who uses his people to call each other out from their tombs, then you don't know anything about the Bible."
There is tremendous relief in finding people who speak one's own language, especially when it's the language of something as deep and difficult and potentially life changing as faith.
I haven't read all of the Disquiet Time chapters yet (I had to force myself to put it down to finish this post). But every chapter I've read thus far, by people who approach faith from all sorts of backgrounds and with all sorts of questions, has left me with that sense of fresh understanding—of revelation, really—that I usually get from reading literature, not theology.
Karen Swallow Prior writes about how often poop shows up in the Bible (really, there's a lot of poop!), and what this tells us about ourselves and God.
Katherine Willis Pershey writes about how all those horrific visions of the end times that Jesus trots out now and then, just when we're tempted to see him solely as a mild-mannered nice guy, aren't really about fear. They're about hope. When the end comes, whatever that is and whatever it means, "the pain of the past can be released…we ourselves will be released."
David Vanderveen writes about meeting God's spirit "hovering over the waters," (Genesis 1:2). Or rather, he meets God in the water, specifically by taking his surfboard and giving himself over to the awesome, mighty, potentially destructive power of big waves. He tells stories about surfing and sailboarding with his brothers as a teenager. And as he tells these stories, amid all that quivering teenage-boy energy, muscle, and daring, Vanderveen talks of the God he wrestles with in the waters as "she."
Dale Hanson Bourke writes about how a limited understanding of what it means that the Bible is "inspired" was broken open by, of all things, her obsessive concern with proper punctuation.
Rachel Stone digs into the many birth metaphors in the Bible, taking those metaphors back from centuries of male-dominated theology that is so squeamish about the bloody, groaning reality of human birth that Jesus's birth was once described as a bloodless blinding light, which disappeared to reveal—voila!—a newborn baby! The memory of childbirth pain, she writes, "forces me to remember the hopeful promise that even the profoundest suffering can somehow bring forth something new, something unexpected, something glorious."
I could go on.
The Bible is not a tool to bring others around to our way of seeing things, or a weapon with which to accuse others of heresy. The Bible is not a history book, nor does it tell us everything there is to know about God. The creator of the universe cannot be contained in a book, even a holy, inspired book. The Bible, at least as this little band of skeptical, faithful, scoundrel-ish souls sees it, is an invitation. An invitation to contemplate who we are, as individuals, communities, and as a species. An invitation to contemplate and encounter what is holy and sacred, which is found smack in the middle of the mundane, the ordinary, and the difficult as often (even more often, I think) as it is found in the strange, the extraordinary, and the transcendent.
In the foreword to Disquiet Time, Eugene Peterson says that, "Stories are verbal acts of hospitality." Again, invitations. To come as we are. To dig and question and ponder without fear of rebuke or punishment from those who believe they know better than anyone else what, exactly, the Bible means to say in every instance. Peterson writes, "The stories [in Disquiet Time] all take the Bible seriously, and, like Jacob at the river Jabbok, they take it seriously enough to wrestle with its meaning in the context of their own lives. More often than not, also like Jacob, they leave the river alive and safe, but "limping."
As someone who walks through life with a literal limp, I loved Peterson's analogy. I have learned through my own struggles with physical pain and limitation that when we are unafraid to ask the questions that arise from life's hardest moments—moments well represented in the Bible—we find companionship and grace, even if we don't always find the ultimate relief, healing, and complete answers we seek, even if we are still left limping after encountering something holy, wise, and good. The encounter in itself is a good thing. As the Disquiet Time editors, Jennifer Grant and Cathleen Falsani, assert in their introduction (and in the short video I've posted below), "When it comes to the greatest concerns, biggest questions, and gravest doubts about the Bible, you have the right and the freedom to voice them. God can take it. Really. We promise."
I hope you'll take up the invitation issued by the stories and reflections in Disquiet Time, which each, in their own way, reflect the Bible's invitation to seek wisdom and understanding in its pages, even knowing that we won't always find clear answers to the conundrums, confusions, and catastrophes of human life.
And I'd like to give one of you a free copy of Disquiet Time. To enter a drawing for the free copy, just leave a comment on this blog post. (Please comment HERE in the comment section below, not on Facebook. I don't want to lose anyone's entry by having responses scattered about, and this also ensures that I have a contact email for you. No one else can see your email address and I won't use it for any other purpose. You don't have to say anything more profound than, "Sounds cool. I want one." Or something.) The contest will remain open until 5 p.m. Eastern on Friday, October 24. I will announce the winner of the random drawing here over the weekend, as well as contact the winner by email.
UPDATE: Surprise! I actually have TWO copies to give away. I did a random drawing (using a random number generator) and the two winners are Brenda Funk and thatneilguy. I'll be emailing both of you to let you know and to get your mailing address. Everyone else: I wish I had a copy for all of you! Please consider purchasing the book through Barnes & Noble or from your favorite independent bookstore! (Because this is a Hachette title, Amazon is not being cooperative about offering the book at a decent price and with a decent shipping time frame, so I don't recommend ordering it there.)

|Forum Home > Tale's from the region. > Bouncing Bomb Myth.
Site Owner
Posts: 1413
There's been a bit of fuss recently over the use of an expression, " Mad, Swivel eyed Loons ". And to prove they don't only exist in Political parties, out of the woodwork come some of the Black Countries very own. The subject this time, are the famous Bombs designed by Barnes Wallis, and the rather daft claim, ( by someone who should know better ) that they may have been made in Netherton. The entire history of the project, from conception to conclusion was declassified and published in 1963. Strangely enough, there absolutely no mention of any Netherton connection. There were in fact, if people will bother to look at the records, not one type of " Bouncing Bomb ", but two, " Highball ", the first prototype had a wood and metal spherical framework, which broke apart on impact, although the inner cylindrical drum part, stayed intact. The second version was called " Upkeep ", ( not Uptake, as you may read in a certain Newspaper ) which dispensed with the outer casing, and was dropped for real on the 16/17th May, during operation " Chastise ", in1943. All the metal cylinders for the Bombs/Mines, were constructed from metal plates,welded and bolted together, by Vickers Armstrong Engineering, who were most diffinately not based in Netherton. The bombs, or more correctly Mines, were 5 feet long, and 4 feet 2 inches in diameter, and contained over 6,000lbs of explosive. This is, to-date, one of the tallest tales I have yet come across from within the region. The level of research that went into the story is at an appallingly low level, and the paper should hang it's head in shame for printing such rubbish. There is already a general lack of knowledge about both the Wars, which claimed a great deal of lives, without adding mis-leading information for future generations. M.& W. Grazebrook, who made a great many of the other massive Bomb cases towards the end of the War, deserve better than to be associated with this dire attempt to gain a bit of publicity, and sell a few publications.
One of the prototypes dropped in practice, can be seen at the Imperial War Museum, Duxford, Cambridgeshire. If that Bomb/Mine has a cast iron/steel case, and the name Grazebrook stamped anywhere on it, not only will I eat my hat, but the bomb as well.
A wonderful thing is work, I could watch it all day. ( See my Blog entry )

Author : Kristin Cashore
Series : The Seven Kingdoms, #2
Hardcover : 461 pages
My Ratings : ★★★★☆
Book Description : Beautiful creatures called monsters live in the Dells. Monsters have the shape of normal animals: mountain-lions, dragonflies, horses, fish,. But the hair or scales or feathers of monsters are gorgeously coloured - fuchsia, turquoise, sparkly bronze, iridescent green - and their minds have the power to control the minds of humans. Seventeen-year-old Fire is the last remaining human-shaped monster in Dells. Gorgeously monstrous in body and mind but with a human appreciation of right and wrong, she is hated and mistrusted by just about everyone, and this book is her story.
Wondering what makes it a companion book/prequel? Fire takes place 30-some years before Graceling and has one cross-over character with Graceling, a small boy with strange two-colored eyes who comes from no-one-knows-where, and who has a peculiar ability that Graceling readers will find familiar and disturbing. (from Goodreads)
My Thoughts : There is no doubt in my mind that this book is beautifully written.
But for the love of god, why oh, why the H@#$ did it have to have 60 pages worth of ending? AGAIN? And to be honest only 20 pages were worth reading to me.
As I first started reading this book, I was hopeful. But on the other hand, I knew I was dreading the end result. (there is a reason why I kept this book on my shelf for a year) I still remember how I felt after reading Graceling. Drained and empty.
It makes me mad to think a book that can make me fall in love with it so completely only to betray me at the end with it's own story !
Even as I was reading it, I saw a pattern and that made me nervous to reach the end.
I felt like the author was trying desperately to resolve everyone's problem before the book was finished and that made me a little sad and tired.
Now with the good stuff.
This book is far beyond complex, in a very good way.
I related myself very tightly with the main female character "Fire".
(all the names of author's books are just brilliant, I think)
Her thoughts, her reasons were so explicitly written that it was not hard to understand what kind of a person/monster she is. And I felt very comfortable and eager to know her, for she is wonderful being, inside and out.
Parts of it made me laugh, think really hard and confused at times.
There was this one part where the concept of "Love" was described in a way I just could not understand. (an understatement) I told myself that this is suppose to happen a long time ago, in an imaginary kingdom, far far away. But couldn't quite understand how one can be in bed with someone else when he/she is already, deeply in love.
And it's not like it was one time thing, where you couldn't control your outburst, but several times ! This made me very uneasy, to think there are people out there who are just the same, no matter what era we live in.
I now know that I will certainly read the third book of this installment.
I'll probably drag just like I have with this book, until finally and reluctantly I decide to sit and finish the damn book. Good thing the third book is not out yet.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released a report in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) titled Trends in Hepatitis C Infection by Opioid Use Disorder Status Among Pregnant Women at Delivery Hospitalization — United States, 2000–2015. The report analyzed hospital discharge data from the 2000–2015 Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) and determined that opioid use disorder and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection rates significantly increased during this time period among women delivering in hospitals in the United States.
Among the key results, the U.S. rate of HCV infection at delivery increased from 0.8 per 1,000 delivery hospitalizations in 2000 to 4.1 in 2015, including increases from 87.4 to 216.9 among women with opioid use disorder, and from 0.7 to 2.6 among women without opioid use disorder.
There are clear implications for public health practice in these findings. Most notably, treatment of opioid use disorder should include screening and referral for related conditions such as HCV infection.
