QC 'kotong cops' use call boy as bait
3 rookies, bogus officer arrested for robbery-extortion
More News from Julie M. Aurelio
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
They are rookies and wannabes pulling off a racket like veterans.
Three low-ranking policemen and a civilian pretending to be an officer landed behind bars for alleged robbery and extortion, their scheme involving the use of a male prostitute as bait, according to the Quezon City Police District.
PO1s Ryan Parungo, Dennis Maagda and Ronnel Biag and their civilian cohort Dominic Laudio are accused of taking the valuables of a man whom they had arrested for public scandal and later demanding P10,000 for the charge to be dropped.
The three officers, all members of the QCPD's Anonas station, were arrested in an entrapment operation Thursday night on the parking lot of a fast food outlet in Philcoa, Quezon City.
Laudio, 28, was apprehended the previous night. He allegedly joined the racket by pretending to be PO1 Orlando Panal, another member of the Anonas station.
Insp. Alan de la Cruz of the QCPD's Criminal Investigation and Detection Unit (CIDU) said they were arrested based on the complaint from a 29-year-old man from Rosario, Cavite province.
According to PO3 Jamie de Jesus, the case investigator, the Cavite resident was in a Quezon City mall around 9 p.m. Wednesday when he was approached by a man offering sexual favors and who introduced himself only as Renz.
They later went to the fast food outlet in Philcoa, where they were "arrested" by Parungo, Maagda and the civilian Laudio who was also in police uniform, De Jesus said.
The suspects threatened to file a case unless the complainant coughs up P25,000. They eventually reduced the amount to P10,000.
The complainant agreed to produce the money within the next few hours since his ATM accounts were short of funds, and was forced to leave his mobile phone, watch, IDs and two ATM cards with the suspects.
What became of Renz after that was not immediately known, but De la Cruz said the suspects used him to find a target.
The complainant instead went to the Masambong station to report what happened. An entrapment operation led to the arrest of Laudio later that night, when he returned to the fast food outlet to get the money from the complainant.
With Laudio's cooperation, another trap was set, this time for Parungo and Maagda. The two officers—plus Biag—arrived at the same area in a patrol car to get their share of the kotong money.
Their fellow QCPD members from the CIDU and Masambong police station moved in for the arrest after money changed hands.

PHILADELPHIA (January 14, 2008) Reporting in the online journal BMC Genetics, researchers from the Monell Center have for the first time attempted to count the number of genes that contribute to obesity and body weight.
The findings suggest that over 6,000 genes about 25 percent of the genome help determine an individuals body weight.
Reports describing the discovery of a new obesity gene have become common in the scientific literature and also the popular press, notes Monell behavioral geneticist Michael G. Tordoff, PhD, an author on the study.
Our results suggest that each newly discovered gene is just one of the many thousands that influence body weight, so a quick fix to the obesity problem is unlikely.
To obtain an estimate of how many genes contribute to body weight, the Monell researchers surveyed the Jackson Laboratory Mouse Genome Database for information on body weights of knockout mouse strains.
Knockout mice have had a specific gene inactivated, or "knocked out. By studying how the knockout mice differ from normal mice, researchers obtain information about that genes function and how it might contribute to disease. Mice can provide valuable information on human disease because they share many genes with humans.
The knockout approach is so useful that the inventors of the technology were awarded the 2007 Nobel Prize in Medicine. Knockout mice are now standard tools in all mouse models of behavior and disease.
In 60% of strains, knocking out a gene produces mice that are nonviable; that is, the mouse cannot survive without the knocked out gene.
The Monell survey revealed that body weight was altered in over a third of the viable knockout stains; 31 percent weighed less than controls (indicating that the missing genes contribute to heavier body weight), while another 3 percent weighed more (contributing to lighter weight).

Venus's rendezvous with the Pleiades star cluster and the increasing prominence of Mars in the east-southeast part of the sky mark two of the highlights for stargazers to enjoy during the month of April.
Phobos is the larger and closer of the two natural satellites of Mars. Despite decades of Martian exploration, we still know very little about Phobos.
Earth is about to pass through a stream of debris from Halley's comet, source of the annual Orionid meteor shower.
Four bright planets are aligning in the morning sky this week.
For the seventh year in a row, the Mars Hoax is infecting email boxes around the world.

Positional Astronomy -- Positional astronomy is the study of the positions of celestial objects. This is the oldest branch of astronomy and dates back to antiquity. Observations of celestial objects are important for religious and astrological purposes, as well as for timekeeping. Ancient structures associated with positional astronomy include: -- Chichn Itz -- The Medicine Wheel -- The Pyramids -- Stonehenge -- The Temple of the Sun The unaided human eye can...
Perseids Meteor Shower -- Like most meteor showers, the Perseids are caused by comet debris. As comets enter the inner solar system, they are warmed by the sun and peppered by the solar wind, which produces the familar tails that stretch across the night sky when a bright comet is close to Earth. Comet tails are made of tiny pieces of ice, dust, and rock which are spewed into interplanetary space as they bubble off the comet's nucleus. When Earth encounters these particles on its...
The Moon -- The Moon is the largest satellite of the Earth, and is occasionally called Luna (Latin for moon) to distinguish it from the general use of the word "moon". The Moon is distinguished from the satellites of other planets by its initial capital letter; the other moons are described in the natural satellite article. The words moon and month come from the same Old English root word. The Moon makes a complete orbit of the celestial sphere about every four weeks. Each hour the...

Phobos orbits Mars at a distance of only 9,378 km (5,627 mi), closer to its planet than any other moon in the solar system. In fact, it is so close that the force of Mars's gravity is stronger than the force keeping the moon in its orbit, so the radius of Phobos's orbit is decreasing at the rate of about 1.8 m (about 6 ft) per century.

In spite of the success of his most recent single Closer, Ne-Yo decided to push back his junior album, Year of the Gentleman, because he needed more time to perfect it. That time was obviously put to good use, judging by the album's second single, Miss Independent, an ode to all the ladies who handle all their business and don't need anybody else. Once again, production team Stargate provides an upbeat tone, making Miss Independent appealing to a brand new audience, and allowing for Ne-Yo to continue his string of successful hits. More winning combinations should be expected once Year of the Gentleman is finally released September 16.
Note: The streaming of "Miss Independent" has temporarily been suspended.

creative thievery
i saw a news story this morning, not sure where this happened, a team of people drove a pickup truck with an large enclosed trailer behind. they parked over the diesel underground tank. there mustv'e been a hole cut out and a person inside the trailer pulled the cover, cut the lock if there was one, and they PUMPED 1000 GALLONS OF DIESEL into a tank on the trailer and then put the cover back on and drove away!!!!!
this kinda stuff is gonna start happening all over america!!!!
yahoo news ran a story about gas thieves drilling/punching holes in gas tanks. they are targeting SUVs cause they sit higher and have bigger tanks so look out!!!

Let 'em come to my house, I need some more target practice.:D
|The Following User Says Thank You to Mad Dog For This Useful Post:
Thieves are at it in the midwest as well. People are stealing license plates, putting them on their car, going to gas stations to steal gas, and then driving off. So the cameras have your license plate. You get a warrant issued for your arrest shortly afterwards. Watch to make sure your plates are still there before you drive. Check both back and front plates (if your state requires front ones). If one is gone, immediately call the police station in your area (911 will work as well). If you report it, you will be ok.

Damn, thats seriously orginised!
And 4giv3n1, we had problems with that until the stations started charging prepay style, you go inside, pay for how much you want, then go back out and put it in your car, PITA!
At least when I pull up on the motorbike, they'll just release the pump so I can fill right up.
I thought the topic would be politics when I read the title.
I have a skid plate over the tanks in my trucks.
i was thinking steel skid plates would be the way to protect from this. not all 4x4's have gas tank skid plates. aluminum wouldnt put up too much resistance to a drill bit.
a lot of stock skid plates dont totally cover the tank usually the corners are accesible.
then there is still syphoning, and fuel lines. on carbed vehicles, a cut fuel line and a battery powered in-line pump could do it, and on fuel injection cars you could theoretically hot wire the in tank pump and then cut a line and collect the liquid gold.
neither of those is very easy or fast, but it depends on how desperate people get.
When I first came to Minnesota I thought it was weird that you
pumped before you paid. I know in Washington they make you
pay first to stop drive off's. In Oregon you can't even pump
your own gas an attendant does it.
|The Following User Says Thank You to Alibi For This Useful Post:
Yeah we've had a lot of drive off and no pay here lately mainly with gas and beer. It's only a matter of time now before serious things start happening I'm sure gas is about $3.95 in the city right now but it's more expensive the further you go out into the country it seems it's going for around $4.25 a gallon. I've also heard in one close by town they are only charging $2.78 a gallon, I guess that's cost? I don't see how it's possible they way things are here but apparently they don't care or it's a temporary thing, it's been that way for about 2 weeks in that area so I'm not sure how much longer it will last.
There have been only a few reports of gas thievery that have made the news here in Canada (that I've seen, anyway); I don't get the sense that it's bad yet. And although it pains me to do so, I have to agree with a portion of groberts post...as the value of petroleum goes up, it won't be long before enterprising criminal elements everywhere will find evermore creative ways to capitalize on the situation.
|The Following User Says Thank You to 357revolverfan For This Useful Post:
The serious plates cover the whole bottom of the tank.
I can see a small biz opportunity here.
Hardened steel replacement tanks.
I've punched them with screwdrivers before on East Coast transplant cars that the screws had rusted on.
Can't get a hose in.
The older Cali compliant ones have a restricter with a sheet metal flap that makes siphoning a bitch.
A really sensitive alarm will keep people from cutting and jerking around underneath too much ..... but who pays attention to their damn alarms anymore.
Criminals are lazy.
They'll pick the next vehicle that hasn't been hardened 9 out of 10.
since steel and metal prices are so high. people go and steel boat trailers while the boats are on the lake. most of the time they dont get caught because no ones there to point any fingers. they salvage the trailer and sell the metal. it pretty crazy. no where is ever safe.
The yippies advocated the same type of phreaking back in the 70s during the last fuel crisis. I have a PDF with all kinds of funny and cool things they did to 'stick it to the man' before they all became 'the man'
"Forget all your ideas about civilized society, boys - here's a chance to raise merry hell." - Allen Dulles, OSS Director ...
The thing I have heard here in Alaska is stealing boat gas. Since we have world class fishing and the summer is shorter than most, a lot of people have boats to get out on PWS, or Cook Inlet. When you're talking about a couple hundered gallons a shot, it adds up pretty quick. Boats are easier targets, sitting in the yard if you're at work and you don't have them in a slip.

Photo London 2015 unveils its public programme & some surprises: UPCOMING PHOTO EXHIBITION
London has always been an Arts and Culture capital, if not the Arts & Culture capital. With the influx of blockbuster film productions into the UK over the last couple of years London is enjoying an unprecedented film boom and now it seems that photography is going to get a similar boost with Photo London heralding the call as it opens London's first annual Photo Week.
If you are not as yet aware of Photo London as yet it is a four day event supported by the Luma Foundation, running over 21 - 24 May 2015 with an exciting line-up of commissioned exhibitions, live events and public installations featuring leading artists taking place at Somerset House and around the city, effectively spearheading the capital's first 'Photo Week'
As London's first international photography fair, it aims to harness the passionate, growing audience for photography in the city and nurture a new generation of collectors. Hopefully collectors will be able to pick up some hard to find pieces at Somerset House during Photo London.

Art of the Trailer: The first 5 frames from Terrence Malick's spellbinding trailer for Knight of Cups that have me waiting for the film - WATCH THIS!
It has to be said that I have sadly seen too few trailers of late that differentiate themselves, elevate the game or mean anything. That doesn't necessarily mean that there aren't many good films on the way just that - I haven't seen many exciting trailers. But late last year I was bowled over by the trailer for Terrence Malick's Knight of Cups in fact the first five shots from the trailer had me absolutely stunned as his use of sound and visuals enthralled me.
First a little context as to how we got here may be in order Knight of Cups is the third in Malick's epical (in the true sense of the word) allegorical exploration - of modern man in the throes of existential angst as he comes to terms to modern life and moves down a path further from nature or Supernature and himself.
We have had Jessica Chastain, Brad Pitt and Sean Penn in The Tree of Life (2011) symbolically bridging the generational gap (from The Thin Red Line 1998) and heralding Malick's move into the modern era. Ben Affleck, Olga Kurylenko, Rachel McAdams and Javier Bardem in To the Wonder (2012), Cate Blanchett, Natalie Portman and Christian Bale in Knight of Cups set for release this year followed up by his currently untitled project Ryan Gosling, Michael Fassbender and Natalie Portman Texas Music film.
|Knight of Cups
A screenwriter living in LA tries to make sense of the strange events occurring around him.
Terrence Malick
Terrence Malick
Natalie Portman, Christian Bale, Imogen Poots
Which led to Malick independently making his seminal feature Badlands in 1973 starring Sissy Spacek and Martin Sheen.
I am acutely aware that Malick has worked on 4 films in the last 5 years (not including his upcoming IMAX documentary - Voyage of Time), for a man that averaged a film every 5 years with a 20 year gap between his second film Days of Heaven and The Thin Red Line, whilst Malick was seemingly went missing, more likely wandering, living and writing.
The point here being I suspect that this prolific run may end at any time and Malick may disappear to ponder his next film, so sooner rather than later would be an appropriate time for me to explore the poetic genius of Terrence Malick or least try take a look at the the first five attention grabbing shots from the trailer of Knight of Cups and let my stream of consciousness freestyle as it scrapes the surface of Malicks works. Terrence Malick's films always have my curiosity, but after the first five shots, Knight of Cups has my attention.
To accompany your reading of this post I have embedded a playlist of tracks inspired by Terrence Malick's the Knight of Cups soundtrack. It is comprised of some of the tracks from the Extended Soundtrack of Knight of Cups, available alternate versions of some of the tracks as well as periphery music. More information on the Knight of Cups extended soundtrack can be found in the playlists description n YouTube.
The Establishing Shot in conversation with horror maestro (& Prog Rocker) Claudio Simonetti
This weekend to coincide with the 40th anniversary of the release of Dario Argento's art horror surrealist cult classic film Profondo Rosso's or Deep Red as it is known in English speaking parts of the world the Barbican will be playing host to what is sure to be one of the most memorable horror or more accurately Giallo related events to play out in London in recent times - when horror maestro Claudio Simonetti brings his band Goblin to play the score of Profondo Rosso live.
Not only am I incredibly excited about this musical event itself as Claudio Simonetti's Goblin perform one of the most iconic horror soundtracks LIVE as the film is screened in the acoustically renowned Hall B of the Barbican (the home of the London Symphony Orchestra) but I was extremely privileged to chat with Mr. Simonetti about his work and creating the sound of many of the foremost cult classic horror films of the last four decades with the band Goblin.
As well as being effortlessly cool in the way Italians can be, he was surprisingly candid and gracious with his time so we were able to have a decent conversation about a range of subjects, that when pulled together paint a high level picture of the passionate career of a man doing what he loves for the last 40 years whilst letting his music reach into our souls and play with our emotions like they are, well a synthesizer.

Claudio Simonetti's Goblin performing Profondo Rosso Live at The Barbican:
Saturday 21 February 2015
"Claudio Simonetti … is a Brazil-born Italian composer who has specialized in the scores for Italian and American horror films since the 1970s." - From Wiki
Following in his father's footsteps a successful and popular composer and TV personality Claudio studied composition and piano at the Conservatore Saint Cecilia in Rome, eventually it was experimental rock that captured his ear as he chased his dream and he went on to form various bands including Oliver which went on to become Goblin.
Fame came to the band when they did the soundtrack for arguably Italy's greatest/notorious horror director (he did after all invent the Giallo genre) Dario Argento for his film Profondo Rosso (Deep Red). It was at this time the band officially became known as Goblin.
Dario Argento's Profondo Rosso (Deep Red) went on become a huge commercial success internationally and won critical acclaim. For many Profondo Rosso would define Dario Argento's style for them.
But the real surprise was Goblin's soundtrack which - recorded in ten days went on to sell over a million copies in the first ten months and stayed in the Italian charts for 52 weeks it attained No.1 on the charts in both the LP and singles categories making Profondo Rosso one of the highest selling horror film soundtracks ever made. It has subsequently gone on to sell over four million copies as well as influence cinematic sound across multiple genres.
The sound of Profondo Rosso is a fusion of Giorgio Gaslini's jazz, blues funk and Goblin's own intriguing surreal symphonic rock Baroque hybrid created with Claudio Simonetti's Minimoog synthesizer, bass, drums, guitars, harpsichords, a church organ and creepy vocal lullabies. This seminal sound would later be expanded and solidified with Goblin's defining and quintessential soundtrack for Dario Argento's Suspira (my personal favourite).
... by the time we recorded Suspiria I think our sound is unique and that was the sound that made Goblin famous started coming through because we invented something."- Claudio Simonetti
This description of Goblin's sound from the now sadly defunct Cherry Red Records can not be improved upon:
Goblin's genius lies in skilfully combining elements of progressive psychedelia with jazz-rock, Eastern European folk music and the Baroque. Their music often displays an eerie fairy tale quality that underscores tensions within a film to great effect."
History has proclaimed that Profondo Rosso is the absolutely essential sound of Dario Argento, Goblin and Italian horror film.
Goblin and Claudio Simonetti went on to define the sound for many of Dario Argento's films before parting ways and separately continuing their careers. Claudio went on to work with other acclaimed cult directors like; George A. Romero, Bruno Corbucci, Lucio Fulci, Ruggero Deodato, Lamberto Bava, Sergio Martino, Umberto Lenzi, Menahem Golan and Enzo G. Castellari on the true apocalyptic cult classic Warriors of Wasteland or The New Warriors (another personal favourite of mine) continued to create progressive rock, dabble in Disco during its heyday as well form the heavy metal band Daemonia.
Goblin and Simonetti reunited briefly to score the soundtrack for Dario Argento's Sleepless. Goblin continued touring in various forms and Daemonia later became Claudio Simonetti's Goblin.
In my chat with Mr. Claudio Simonetti goes into a little more detail about Goblin's history.
Other topics we managed to touch on at a high level included;
- The enduring appeal of Goblin's sound
- Goblin's history before working in film
- The true genesis of Goblin as a band
- Fail at an attempt to define the music of Goblin
- Simonetti and Goblin's working process
- Creating the iconic Goblin sound for Suspiria & the legendary lost Suspiria recordings
- His ongoing collaboration with Dario Argento
- Addresses the similarities between the sound of Deep Red, Tubular Bells & Halloween
- On meeting John Carpenter
- Working with George Romero
- On being "soundcast" for horror
- His body of work & still being inspired by film
- His thoughts on new horror soundtracks
- Zack Snyder's Dawn of the Dead remake & the recent work of Guillermo del Toro
Simonetti also let us know what we can expect from the live performance and screening of Deep Red at the Barbican. For a bonus point I managed to discover Claudio Simonetti's favourite horror films.
|Claudio Simonetti's Goblin (ZOOM)
You know when we started in the 70s we didn't have a title for the music, now we have Gothic, Heavy Metal and many different titles for the music, even Prog didn't exist in the 70s. Prog was invented later. We just played Rock."- Claudio Simonetti
I say our chat but Claudio did most of the talking so it is unsurprising that he was flagging a bit towards the end of our chat, as was I, despite that he was happy to give me a fair amount of time - even so - sadly I didn't manage to chat about the actual content of any of the films he has scored and the part that play in the psychology behind his music or indeed where he goes and how he creates the hypnotising and transcendental music that stares into our souls, scares, lulls and moves us or to my shame the rumoured 3D remake of Suspiria.
As with many of Dario Argento's film, in Profondo Rosso the lead protagonist is the proverbial fish out of water as David Hemmings plays Marcus Daly an English pianist and music teacher who whilst working in Turin stumbles onto a murder and goes down a dark and increasingly terrifying path as this every man sets about to uncover the killer - a mysterious figure wearing black leather gloves, played by director Dario Argento himself. Whilst Goblin's soundtrack gently lulls us down the same disturbing path.
|Deep Red starring David Hemmings as Marcus Daly
Horror aficionados may each may have a favourite Dario Argento film but many agree Profondo Rosso is the prime example of Argento's twisted genius and "showcases the technical bravado and ... shock tactics that made Argento famous".
A surreal masterpiece from Dario Argento with a pounding score from cult prog rockers Goblin, Deep Red will leave you battered and breathless!
Gorgeously shot with an incredible soundtrack merging to create different ambient tones that juxtapose against each other adding unique personality to the characters, places and times they live in. I'm not going to bang on about the performances but it was a real joy to see." - From Arrow Films
FIRST LOOK at Daniel Craig as James Bond in Spectre and Spectre on Location: Sölden Vlog
Yesterday not only did we get a long overdue official James Bond Spectre clapperboard update from the set of Spectre shooting at Blenheim Palace - back here in the UK. We were also promised the first official behind the scenes footage of Spectre today at 7am.
Yes! Op delivered! And along with the first behind the scenes 007 vlog footage from the Spectre location at Sölden, Austria we also got to see our first look at Daniel Craig as James Bond in Spectre.
On a side note: if Bond was looking to revitalise its British roots you don't get more British than the Blenheim Palace, the ancestral home of Sir Winston Churchill.
Win a special Woman In Black: Angel of Death goody bag & see Jeremy Irvine introduce The curse of The Woman In Black - COMPETITION
If you are a regular reader you will know how much I enjoyed James Watkins' The Woman In Black. It is a ghoulish combination of contemporary scare tactics and traditional elements of Hammer Films giving as an unforgiving and incredibly creepy experience. A high water mark in bringing Hammer back into the forefront of British horror.
I have been eagerly anticipating Hammer's sequel Woman In Black: Angel of Death for ages now and very keen to see where they take the curse of The Woman in Black as we see Helen McCrory and talented upstarts Jeremy Irvine and Phoebe Fox face her/it.
With Hammer finally bringing Woman In Black: Angel of Death to UK screens on New Years Day 1 January 2015 Entertainment One are letting us celebrate by giving away 3 special The Woman In Black: Angel of Death goody bag consisting of the original The Woman in Black starring Daniel Radcliffe on DVD, a copy of Susan Hill's best selling novel The Woman in Black and a Limited Edition The Woman in Black: Angel Of Death UK poster!

SECOND LOOK! Bond 24 on location as James Bond explodes back into action for SPECTRE at MI6 on the Thames & we take a close look at the SPECTRE boat - FYEO POTENTIAL SPOILERS - FILM LOCATION
As you must no doubt be aware there is much excitement in the capital as filming of Bond 24 SPECTRE is continuing in London with the action taking place back on the Thames yesterday, Camden Locke the day before and that evening in Notting Hill.
The Bond team seem to be burning the candle at both ends trying to complete filming in London as quickly as possible before moving on to other locations. Probably in an effort to minimise spoilery leaks in the capital, but at the same time - to give you some insight into how us Londoners feel about having *arguably* Britain's greatest literary and cinematic spy back on home ground, in London read the tweet below from the Camden location.
— yourturnHeather (@yourturnheather) December 16, 2014
Well actually we did shoot in early, but we have lives and were otherwise occupied at the time. Posting at this stage I don't think there is anything here that may be considered to spoilery or compromise the location shoot and again I have intentionally left out certain details of the action but eagle eyed Bond fans may be able to piece together bits.
I had my compact camera with me rather than my large obnoxious one, so the quality isn't that great but thanks to Tim Merry a courteous professional on the scene who kindly allowed us to use two of the better photos for this post - including one which captured what is the greatest Bond moment for me personally yet - as the fourth wall came tumbling down. See further below.

It's been 16 years since Robbie Williams released his chart topping single Millenium off the album I've Been Expecting You. That would make it 16 years since I first heard who Robbie Williams is.
Being a Bond fan I instantly liked Millenium a catchy aspirational song that sounded like nothing else at the time and it referenced John Barry's You Only Live Twice James Bond theme without directly sampling it. I wasn't wild about Vaughan Arnell's cheeky Bond parody video for Millennium initially but sometimes a bit of everyman Bond is better than no Bond at all.

London Short Film Festival announced! #LSFF2015 continues to challenge & entertain in its 12th year. 9-18th January - SHORT FILM FESTIVAL
The London Short Film Festival - "the best short film festival in the world." according to The Guardian is back for its 12th year and it seems more determined than ever to challenge and entertain - on its quest to prove that the UK is a hotbed of film creativity.
The London Short Film Festival 2015 is set to take place from 9-18th January 2015 at various venues around London including: the ICA, Hackney Picturehouse and Oval Space. Over the 9 days of The London Short Film Festival 2015 they will be hosting a number of events and screenings, too many for me to to list but I have included the official press release further below or visit : http://shortfilms.org.uk/lsff12/events to browse the full The London Short Film Festival 2015 programme.
LSFF still prides itself on being the biggest showcase of UK short film. Away from the mainstream, UK film culture is alive with incredible artistes and original voices which will be showcased at this year's Festival. The core programme of selected shorts will screen across Hackney Picturehouse and the ICA.
With 34 programmes of predominantly new UK work across all venues, this is a real snapshot of 21st century Britain: love stories, horror stories, comedy, documentary, music and lo-budget gems.
Our themed programmes include perennial favourites such as Fucked Up Love, Lo-Budget Mayhem, Night of the Living Docs, Surreal Worlds, Teenage Girls Go Crazy! and Funny Shit, to new kids on the block such as Tales of the Unexpected, WTF: Outside the Box, Gothic! and A Musical Box. Plus a chance to see longer work in Long[er] Docs and Short Longes.
The #LSFF2015 programme has something for everyone but if I may make a personal recommendation it's probably worth catching I FINK U FREEKY: The Cinematic Vision of Roger Ballen & Saskia Vredeveld on Sat 10 Jan 18:00 at the ICA.
|I Fink U Freeky - Roger Ballen & Ninja & Yolandi Visser
Saskia Vredeveld is a South African filmmaker who lives in Amsterdam, with over 20 years of documentary experience."
More than likely it will be on the challenging side of the spectrum more than the entertaining but his striking and engaging visuals will certainly make an impact on you in a similar vein to David Lynch or Harmony Korine.
We're not here to entertain you, we're here to make you feel uncomfortable" - Viv Albertine, after Luis Buñuel)

EON Productions respond to SPECTRE script leak - BOND NEWS
Sadly the fallout from the Sony hack is continuing at an alarming rate and whilst some news outlets seem to be scraping the bottom of the bucket to wring out anything that might still be newsworthy from it. In an eery turn that could have been lifted straight out of the pages from Skyfall - it looks like the rumours of the leaked James Bond script SPECTRE are now confirmed.
In response EON Productions have come out strongly and in a statement released on the official James Bond website http://www.007.com/ and made it very clear where they stand.

Countdown to the 2015 EE British Academy Film Awards - Stephen Fry Returns To Host the EE BAFTAS
T he EE British Academy Film Awards are the crown in the jewel of the British film year and for a staggering but very welcome 10th time - Mr. Stephen Fry will be hosting the 2015 EE British Academy Film Awards.
I do get the feeling even though Fry has already out Gervaised, Ricky Gervais and out Clooneyed, George Clooney that he has only just begun. But before Fry oversees the star studded awards proceedings we still have the 2015 BAFTA nominations announcement on Friday 9th January to look forward to. That's almost a full month in advance of the actual 2015 EE British Academy Film Awards Ceremony on Sun 8 February 2015.
FIRST LOOK! Bond 24 SPECTRE Film location - FYEO POTENTIAL SPOILERS - FILM LOCATION
As we did with Skyfall - when we heard, via our sources that the Bond production team were ramping up for the first on location SPECTRE shoot outside of their Pinewood Studios 007 Stage. We immediately dispatched one of our top men - Hemingford Grey to the scene, keen to hear what he could uncover.
As it turns out quite a lot (I can't get him to stop talking) he has sadly taken an oath of secrecy on some very exciting bits but he certainly did not learn enough to give any indication to the larger world of SPECTRE. I should warn you even though there is much wild speculation in and amongst what we know reading this may - potentially spoil a very cool scene from SPECTRE. Over to Hemingford.
Very often while watching an old film I would think something to the effect of Wow! It must have been really special to be around when that was made. Naturally being a confirmed Bondophile it happens a lot when watching Bond's escapades.
Visiting or seeing a film location in real life brings one a little closer to the magic of film beyond the screen. And in some small way allows you capture a little bit of the magic. Sitting around with the great-grandkids one day when the old James Bond classic SPECTRE comes on TV, being able to say "Yea I saw that in real life" is quite special, hell it's even special for me to be able to say right now.
And again we take some pride in the fact that we can bring you some news & photos that are hot off the press for Bond fan eyes only.

Claudio Simonetti's GOBLIN to perform Profondo Rosso in LONDON live at the Barbican Hall Saturday 21st Feb - UPCOMING GIG
G oblin's upcoming gig has me very excited indeed! In fact I have only been this excited about this particular kind of gig three times previously; once a couple of years ago when Fabio Frizzi was going to play at the Union Chapel on Halloween, on HALLOWEEN! Once when Jim Jarmusch's & his band SQÜRL (& others) performed music from Only Lovers Left Alive earlier this year and a couple of months ago when a special music and video event A Trip To The Otherworld was held to launch Richard Stanley's The Otherworld scored by Simon Boswell.
But it looks like the mother ship is landing in London this February when to coincide with the 40th anniversary of the release of Dario Argento's hugely influential Giallo classic Profondo Rosso (aka Deep Red) Composer Claudio Simonetti and his band GOBLIN playing their original score live to a screening of Profondo Rosso for the first time in the UK.
Dario Argento needs no introduction, his psychic psycho films are pretty much a genre all of their own and vastly influential. Just last year watching Arrow Video's flawless re-release of Tenebrae I was struck by the very clear similarities between Dario Argento's Tenebrae and Michael Mann's brilliant Manhunter, one of my favourite films of all time.
Goblin's Profondo Rosso theme cheekily hints at Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells used in William Friedkin's The Exorcist before letting you know it is very much its own unique music for the film that spawned a lengthy collaboration with Dario Argento.
This is a rare opportunity to experience Goblin's Profondo Rosso live at the acoustically renowned Barbican Hall, the home of the London Symphony Orchestra and is going to be an memorable event for any +18 film lover.
The Grandmaster is the most unexpected and exquisite Kung Fu film, not about fighting I have ever seen – THE GRANDMASTER FILM REVIEW
I absolutely loved Kar Wai Wong's The Grandmaster. It is a subtle and rare film that is a meticulously made period piece which looks absolutely magnificent, recalling both film noir and the marvellous sumptuous epics of Hollywood's golden era. Very much in line with Kar Wai Wong previous films.
But this time there is lots of spectacular Kung Fu fighting thrown in. Respected action choreographer Yuen Wo Ping the guy behind the fight scenes in The Matrix, Kill Bill and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon choreographed the action and the lead actors; Tony Leung, Ziyi Zhang and Chang Chen all undertook several years of rigorous and challenging Kung Fu training, with that kind of dedication you know the action is going to be well above expectations.
Before seeing The Grandmaster all I really knew is that it was a film about Ip Man (First name - Man, Family name - Yip or Ip as in the East it is customary to give family name first), the martial arts master that taught Bruce Lee and has several films and a TV series made about him, that it was set to the backdrop of political upheaval in China. The trailer hinted at a gorgeous epic style Kung Fu film and that the American release was cut differently from the original Chinese version. Subsequently I have found out there are actually three different versions of the film.
But what I was not expecting The Grandmaster to be as beautiful and as spirituality fulfilling tale of the times, lost values and as fitting tribute to the man. I can not verbalise with sufficient proficiency as to how moved I was by the story of The Grandmaster. Its an incredibly well made and subtle film of a land and people in turmoil.
Kar Wai Wong's vision is supported by dedicated craftsmen and performers to bring it to life. The astounding choreography, sumptuous set design and gorgeous period costumes are exquisitely shot by Philippe Le Sourd. Not only are the action scenes memorable but I was left with imagery of many rich sets including the Golden Pavillion, as well as an astounding smokey noirish silhouetted scene at a train station - which could have been lifted from a 30s Hollywood epic. Another standout scene was a subtle tinted seduction scene
It is a gorgeously shot film and I would struggle to think of another film that is as well composed in recent times. The version of the The Grandmaster I saw was I assume a standard definition streamed version of the film with security watermarks all over it and even that did nothing to take away from how beautifully shot The Grandmaster is.
It truly is a special film merging martial arts action with a seemingly timeless classic tale of a noble man whose life is thrown into flux and how he deals with it - is the real crux of the story, or that's what it was about for me anyway.

I would ask if you are ready for another gritty powerful Brit gangster flick. The type only the Brits and maybe Danish know how to do properly. But I don't think anyone is ready for Gerard Johnson's Hyena.
Hyena has been quietly boiling in its pot since Number 9 Films kicked off production last year and announced that Gerard Johnson's follow up to his acclaimed debut, Tony would be an original crime tale - Hyena a police thriller set in contemporary West London amongst the Turkish and Albanian communities focussed on Michael Logan an anti-hero for our times.
|See the Hello Carter Trailer

The gritty and stylistic drama about a corrupt cop who gets in too deep caused a bit of stir when it opened the Edinburgh Film Festival gathering a quick following of fans.
Hold on tight here comes Hyena!.

Eureka Entertainment announce a plethora of classic releases for their forthcoming Masters of Cinema series and Eureka Classics Q1 2015 collection
Eureka Entertainment is one of the two distributors that have consistently impressed me with their release schedules.
Sadly I haven't had as much time this year as I would like to discuss home releases, a case in point being a Eureka's release from earlier in the year - Wake in Fright another title championed by Martin Scorsese it is a brilliant, albeit controversial thriller that really deserved more of a fuss about it.
So when I got a heads up on Eureka's upcoming lineup for the first quarter of 2015 (Jan, Feb & March) I thought an early as possible alert would be good.

Airline Business 25th anniversary messages and contributions:
Here's to the Golden Jubilee. Abdullah Nergiz, Turkish Airlines' co-ordinator executive vice presidency, commercial, looks back 25 years at the milestones in of the industry and for the Turkish carrier's own development
Looking back, 1985 was no exception - just another turbulent year for commercial aviation. The legendary Pan Am had to sell its Pacific routes to United Airlines, while TWA was purchased by Jordan Cahill and associates. The hijacking frenzy was continuing, with Amal guerrillas seizing TWA Flight 847 en route from Rome to Athens. In another part of the world, the worst single-aircraft air disaster was recorded when a JAL Boeing 747 crashed en route from Tokyo to Osaka, killing all but four of the 520 people on board.
On the other hand, those turbulent skies of 1985 also saw some positive events. The first issue of Airline Business magazine was published, and Ryanair was founded as a full-service airline. And in eastern Europe, a small flag carrier was trying to escape from the gloomy days of 1970s and thrive.
The new A310 fleet became a milestone for Turkish Airlines, symbolising its great transformation from a sick state company to a customer-oriented, dynamic and influential player in eastern Europe and the Middle East.
In just four years, the number of A310s in its fleet reached 12 and Turkish Airlines was able to commence new long-haul routes such as Singapore, New York, Tokyo and Bangkok.
Under the institutional "perestroika", the so-called "pyjamas" colour scheme of the Turkish Airlines fleet was changed, along with the staff uniforms and all other company images, such as the official logo and design of the sales offices.
Cem Kozlu, then the chairman and chief executive of Turkish Airlines, influenced by legendary SAS chief executive Jan Carlzon, carried the leadership flag by transforming Turkish Airlines after 1988. Personnel were trained in "Putting People First" seminars in order to become customer-oriented, and the airline relaunched its business class service with a new concept. A frequent flyer programme was launched in 1989 and Turkish Airlines aimed to join the international league of global airlines.
In the five years after 1985, Turkish Airlines increased its passenger numbers by more than 65% while doubling available seat kilometres and achieving a positive passenger perception of the airline.
So, celebrating the 25th birthday of Airline Business coincides with a very important milestone in Turkish Airlines' history.
I hope we will all see Airline Business go on to celebrate its golden jubilee just as successfully.

Be prepared for the US not having a 60 kg rep for both FS & GR. Hope I'm wrong.
Can the 60kg qualifiers try out at 55 or 66 if 60 kg doesn't qualify? I can imagine Mike Zadixk, at least, is big enough to wrestle 66.
Yes they can, but Zadick isn't making 55 nor will he make the team at 66.
I remember Dantzler went down to 66 in 2004 when the US failed to qualify the 74 spot in Greco.
hmm.. it will be interesting to see who chooseS to go up or down at the trials if 60 kg doesnt qualify.
As long as we keep training the "American" way we are doomed! We need to make Big our Olympic coach and we will be running away with the Olympics.
I will smash your face into a car windshield and then take your mother, Dorothy Mantooth, out to a nice seafood dinner and never call her again!
Tell me about it, this morning, I woke up and I shit a squirrel, but what I can't get is the damn thing is still alive. So now, I've got a shit covered squirrel running around my office and I don't know what to name it.
Going up and doing well I could see Zadick, Gallick, and Lightner. Going down, if possible, I could see Gomez doing ok if he made the drop but don't know if he can. I'm not sure any of the top 10 could make 55 (except maybe Fleeger, Vasquez, and Bunch..but I highly doubt any of them can make it).
I agree with you on the guys going up, but there is no way Fleeger and Bunch are making 55.

100% Rye Sourdough Pseudo English Muffins
Baking with rye flour poses a few challenges. Rye has gluten, yes, but it also behaves much differently from wheat when it comes into contact with liquid. And stir just a bit too much and you may as well be baking a rye flour paste.
This brings us to why these are called "pseudo" English muffins. The original English muffin is made with wheat, but it does not require additional leavening in the form of the baking soda mentioned in this recipe.
The final texture of these is also just a bit different from the usual English muffin. These have a finer crumb without the large holes that we are familiar with in English muffins.
You'll still love these for the taste, for the ease, and for the way it makes use of your sourdough starter. This is a great way to use up that half-cup of starter that you might throw away every night when you feed your starter.
Throw it into a bowl with a few other ingredients and you'll have piping hot English muffins your whole family will love in the morning.

what the smp stands for?
I mean, i know it's for symmetric multiproccessing... The thing i'm not sure about is wether i should install the 686 kernel header or the 686-smp one... I've got a PIV 3.20Ghz with HT :?
Re: what the smp stands for?
If you want to take benefict from HyperThreading
and see two virtual CPU's
Then yes you shuld a Kernel with SMP
Re: what the smp stands for?
Why dont you try with and without SMP enabled. Run a few benchmarks and then post the results here.
Re: what the smp stands for?
Hyperthreading != SMP last time I checked. Can we get any linkage that suggests a single hyperthreaded CPU can manifest SMP?
Re: what the smp stands for?
Not really...I just made the association. That's because i was asking. btw, i've seen some other forums, where some pple with PV HT tried so, and in the best of the cases, they run onto a slower kernel or program. In the worst ones, the computer won't load linux, or will behavior unpredictibly...
Re: what the smp stands for?
I have use SMP kernels since I have my P4 HT and allways see the two
cirtual CPU's. (and take advantage for that)
Also if you recomplie the kernel with SMP support you can activate the
option for HT schedule so the kernel can take beter use of the "second CPU"

Website of the Day: PMS Buddy
by GiggleSugar
Like us on Facebook
This is one of the most genius ideas I've ever heard of! PMSbuddy.com is a free online PMS reminder. Basically, you can either sign up to stay aware of when significant ladies in your life are about to ride the red dragon and act insane in the membrane (so you can be all, "Oh, now I understand."). Or, you can alert people when it's getting close to
that time of the month that moment when you might b*tchslap someone for no reason or start crying during an episode of Home Improvement. I think PMSbuddy will end up saving several relationships for me. Thanks, guys!

No, men aren't allowed ANY sort of excuse, save for the 'mid-life crisis' when we go out and buy that sports car we've always wanted, date women half our age and play the field like we are teens all over again. LOL

You guys do too have an excuse DBS — douchebag syndrome! Hahahaha. Don't mind me — I'm PMSing. :)

I didn't check the site but do have a comment. Women seem to use PMS as an excuse for acting up, as it were. However, I can recall one time that is worth an LOL. A co-worker (late 30's)was going thru it and a new boss made a comment, to which the woman replied - "I have PMS! Leave me alone!" This new female boss was clueless (she was 8 years older and from another country). The next day, she came in - "I didn't know what PMS was, but now that I know what it is I have it, too." We all looked at her! Plus, menopause is another "female" trait that is good for an 'excuse'. But, if a guy is having a bad day, WE can't use ANY excuse AT ALL! One guy said the reason he was so po'd was because he caught PMS from his girlfriend. "Well, she gives me every OTHER condition she gets!" LOL

I am on this site and while I like it one of the things I dont like is when the warning comes in it had ads at the bottom and it says something like "to keep her happy buy her flowers from (insert ad here) or chocolate from (insert ad here) or lingerie from (insert ad here) but if you're really not up for the challenge you can hook up with hot ladies here (insert ad for website specifically designed to help people cheat) Not cool

Larry Alexander
Name: Larry Alexander
Born: 1954-10-17
Birthplace: Hollandale, Mississippi, USA
Hometown: Greenville, Mississippi, USA
Stance: Orthodox
Height: 6′ 3½″ / 192cm
Boxing Record: click
A native of Hollandale Miss., Larry Alexander turned pro at the age of 27 with a third round TKO of Don Martin. His late start in professional boxing, after an amateur career that saw him go 35-5, was of no concern to both Alexander and his trainer. 'I feel that 27 is about the right age to get into heavyweight boxing', Alexander was quoted in the August 31 1977 Greenville Delta Democrat-Times, 'Your body begins maturing at about 27.' His trainer-manager Mac Dukes added: 'If a heavyweight takes care of his body, like Larry has and trains properly, he can fight until he's 40. Jersey Joe Walcott was still fighting when he was 40.' In a pro career that spanned nearly 22 years, Alexander, would go on to win the Great Western Forum heavyweight tournament as well as the NABF heavyweight title.

I recently stumbled across a blog post demonstrating how to convert enums to strings using the Description attribute. I thought it might be useful to expand on that example by providing a function that reverses the process (e.g. takes in the resulting string and converts it back to the enum). This would allow you to do things like store off the description into a database and load it back into an enum or populate a dropdown list with the descriptions and save the user's selection back into your domain as an enum.
Rather than diving straight into code, let's just take a quick look at what the finished product lets you do. Say you have the following enumeration:
The code from the original blog post will allow you to retrieve any of the Description attributes by calling the ToDescription extension method:
And with the code I wrote, you will be able to perform the opposite conversion by calling the ToEnum extension method:
Ok, now let's look at how it all works:
Here is the slightly modified version of the extension method from the original blog post. It's pretty straightforward. It's an extension method on the Enum class that uses reflection to grab the Description attribute and output it. If no Description attribute is found, it returns the result of the ToString() function:
And here is my extension method that reverses the process. This extension method on the string class iterates over all enum values for the given enumeration, trying to find the one that has a Description attribute that matches the string that called it. If the extension method can't find this enum, it returns the default enum passed in the parameters.
I'm sure there are probably cleaner ways of doing this, but for mypurposes this works great and is easy to implement and manage. I'd be interested in hearing how others are handling this scenario in their own apps and whether this implementation would be useful at all. Let me know in the comments!

Library Journal
Rahe (history & political science, Hillsdale Coll.; Republics Ancient and Modern) has actually written two books in one: the first three quarters are a detailed reading of the great 18th- and 19th-century political and social theorists Montesquieu, Rousseau, and Tocqueville on the nature of government, the glue that holds the polity together, and the difficulty maintaining political virtue and, with it, individual freedom, in a democratic republic. The threat to liberty and civic virtue, as Tocqueville saw it, lay in the elimination of intermediate bodies (like townships) that directly involved citizens in governing. Without such intermediate bodies, democracy would drift into soft despotism, with a central government regulating the smallest details of the citizen's life. This part of the book is tightly reasoned, relying on a thoughtful reading of texts that still have great merit for our own age. The final section of the book is an impassioned, occasionally intemperate, but largely successful attempt to describe the malaise gripping democratic governments today, combined with a plea to limit government's intrusion into our lives. (The author quite evidently holds libertarian views.) Many scholars and serious readers will find this essential reading.

Since Marc Jacobs graced the runways of Louis Vuitton with tribal platform heels, costume jewelry, bangles, python and metallics, the fashion world has been scrambling to emulate this fierce trend. The best way to add a little ethnic-chic to your ensemble is to accessorize, accessorize, accessorize!
Take a plain outfit and add a tribal necklace, wooden chandelier earrings or overstated bangles. Another easy way to add some tribal flair to your outfit is to tie a brightly colored scarf bandanna style across your forehead; be sure to leave the rest hang in the back for extra emphasis!

Pope Francis hears confessions in Rio
The surprise, though, came during his encounter with Argentine pilgrims, scheduled at the last minute in yet another sign of how this spontaneous pope is shaking up the Vatican's staid and often stuffy protocol.
He told the thousands of youngsters, with an estimated 30,000 Argentines registered, to get out into the streets and spread their faith, saying a church that doesn't go out and preach simply becomes a civic or humanitarian group.
"I want to tell you something. What is it that I expect as a consequence of World Youth Day? I want a mess. We knew that in Rio there would be great disorder, but I want trouble in the dioceses!" he said, speaking off the cuff in his native Spanish. "I want to see the church get closer to the people. I want to get rid of clericalism, the mundane, this closing ourselves off within ourselves, in our parishes, schools or structures. Because these need to get out!"
Apparently realizing the radicalness of his message, he apologized in advance to the bishops at home.
