Carlos Watson handles the other Buchanan
I saw this exchange Friday morning on MSNBC, and now Crooks and Liars has it in video form..just thought I would share, because Watson does a great job of calling Bay Buchanan on her fuckery. Watch it here on my video page.
Pat Buchanan has to go.
Watch his stunning blowup with Rachel Maddow here on my video page and then tell me this old jackass should still be on television representing anyone but the KKK. Rachel invited him on regarding an article he authored on Real Clear Politics about how the GOP should handle Judge Sotomayor.
He also had a dust-up with Pulitzer prize-winning writer Eugene Robinson on Hardball yesterday. Watch that one as well here.
This tired old fuck needs to be put out to pasture..now. Here is my letter to the head of the news department:
Mr. Capus,
I have watched all your political shows for a few years now. I am a devoted viewer and I enjoy the give and take from both sides of the aisle for the most part.
Pat Buchanan has to go. He snapped not once, but twice this week. First on Hardball with Pulitzer prize winning writer and MSNBC contributor Eugene Robinson. Then Thursday night on Rachel Maddow's show.
The man made flat-out racist comments, no ifs, ands or butt's about it. It was actually embarrassing to watch a man of his stature sink that low. If those are his true beliefs, I can no longer tolerate him on my television. He has become increasingly shallow and elitist, not to mention sounding like an original member of the KKK.
Going forward, I will not sit and watch Buchanan scream and holler at anyone. I will change the channel. Whether I go back to the show he is on depends on what I find to watch whilst Mr. Buchanan waxes poetic about how the white folks are getting screwed and how racist Judge Sotomayor is. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but giving Mr. Buchanan a soap box from which he sounds like someone in need of a psychological intervention is down right ridiculous and dangerous. Dangerous in that you will be losing loyal viewers.
Relegating Mr. Buchanan to the Morning Joe show might be an alternative. I never watch Morning Joe as it's thankfully on at 3am here on the left coast.
I would appreciate a response from you sir.
Thank you,
Dusty Taylor
Please feel free to write Mr Capus: email@example.com if your tired of the old white man waxing racist on MSNBC too.
SDS – Sotomayor Derangement Syndrome
William Rivers Pitt has a good read up at TruthOut this morning. The title is the same as mine-Sotomayor Derangement Syndrome. He lists all the major rightwing nutters that are foaming at the mouth over Judge Sotomayor and her supposed racism. The list is quite long, as you are probably aware. His explanation of SDS:
They called it Bush Derangement Syndrome for eight years: the condition of being berserk with rage, hatred and fear over the acts and actions – nay, even the very existence – of George W. Bush and his administration.
Last week, the malady mutated into a whole new thing – Sotomayor Derangement Syndrome – and boy, but it's a doozy. Ranting incoherence, brazen racism and suicidal ideation swept through the ranks of the far right after Judge Sotomayor was nominated to replace Justice Souter on the high court, symptoms that became worse by orders of magnitude as the week wore on. By the weekend, those suffering from Sotomayor Derangement Syndrome had not only struck the bottom of the barrel in their attempts to tear the Sotomayor nomination down, but had plowed right through the wood and burrowed deep into the slime and ooze beneath.
They, the nutters, ignore the SCOTUSblog indepth analysis of Judge Sotomayor's race cases-all 97 of them. The most heinous of these fucktards is Newt Gingrich.
This bigoted wingnut actually is using this issue to raise money. He uses Martin Luther King Jr's words in his email, from the TIME link:
The email opens with this quote, from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.: "I have a dream: that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
Wait..there is more..
Of course, no one believes that any judge can be 100% impartial and unbiased in every situation. Judges are human beings, and will occasionally allow their personal biases to cloud their attempts at impartiality.
But this is VERY different — this judge is making it CLEAR that she thinks she SHOULD be biased and partial, based on her ethnicity and gender!
So Newtie is now bellowing his sexist rant as well. Surprised? Not really. Then he adds a small ps at the end:
We need YOUR help to take this fight to Capitol Hill. Please consider supporting Renewing American Leadership with a generous donation today. $25, $50, or $100 will dramatically help us stand strong for the Rule of Law in America!
Paid for by Renewing American Leadership recognized as a public charity by the IRS under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Your generous contribution to support our important work is deductible as a charitable contribution to the maximum extent permitted by law.
Public charity my brown ass. Racism and sexism coming from Newt's piehole should offend everyone. It should piss off everyone that has two brain cells to rub together..unlike most of Newt's fan base. William Pitt has this to say about Newt's fundraising letter to his masses:
Civil war, suffrage, civil rights, un-American … wha? Oh, wait, that's right, this was a fundraising letter, which means it doesn't have to make sense. With this letter, Gingrich is seeking to raise money from the same subsegment of the GOP base that vacuums up change from between the couch cushions and sends it to the RNC whenever they get a direct mailer warning about evil immigrant hordes conspiring with Hillary Clinton to abort all Christian fetuses, or something to that effect. Gingrich will turn a nifty profit with this letter, even if it is all nickels, and use the funds to position himself further as the far-right's darling candidate for the 2012 presidential election. Sense? Meh. There's money to be made.
So Newt's email is really about making money off Judge Sotomayor. Nice..and so expected from theses fuckwits. After all, Newt doesn't have a real job..so how can we expect him to live comfortably without rallying his fellow wingnuts to his latest cause?
Notice that all the wingnuts shooting off their pieholes are not elected republicans. The elected republicans are pissing down both legs at the rhetoric being spewed by the likes of Beck, Gingrich, Liddy, Savage, and of course..Boss Limbaugh. Pitt's final remarks on what this all means to the The Party Of No:
"After a week of escalating race and gender rhetoric from the right over the Sotomayor nomination, it's now looking like some in the Republican Party – those concerned with actually getting elected – have become alarmed by the political damage the more extreme members of their party may be doing and are moving to rein in the vitriol," reported Eric Kleefield of Talking Points Memo on Friday. "It's the starkest example yet of an interesting division within the right, one that has been apparent for some time, but which the Sotomayor nomination has not only crystallized but accelerated: the right-wing bomb-throwers obsessed with ideological purity versus the right-wing pragmatists who want the party to actually win election again some day."
By the end of last weekend, Sotomayor Derangement Syndrome had blown this rift within the GOP wide open. Establishment conservatives are now directly pitted against the vocal ideologues on their right flank and a GOP base that seems to be avidly listening to them. For a party already traumatized by arguments over immigration, two decisive routs in a row at the polls, and an absolute absence of any real leadership, the advent of this newest intra-party bloodbath is the worst possible situation.
Stay tuned.
Oh yes..stay tuned. These fuckwits are not even close to shutting the hell up. I hope this blows a huge hole in the republican party, big enough to drive a semi through, driving sane individuals away from them by the thousands. I hope they become marginalized enough that all they represent are the ignorant bigots in the south.
Because that is all they deserve. Keep talking Newtie..keep talking.

In Spirent TestCenter Application, if you Config the BGP Route Generator with 100000 routes and 10% duplicate with Prefix length Distribution type: internet. you may find following warning:
BGP Route Generator Summary Information
Primary IPv4 Routes: 100000
Secondary IPv4 Routes: 9997 (10000 configured)
The number of routes configured does not fit in the address range.
The maximum allowed routes were created instead.
Some may ask why the secondary IPv4 routes is 9997 not 10000? This is caused by the calculation. For the "internet" distribution, the prefix length is not fixed, for example, you may have 200 route with prefix length 30, so the secondary route number is 20. But if you may also have 299 route with prefix length 32, and the secondary route number is 29 not 29.9! So you see we miss almost 1 route already, and in the whole 100000 routes, you have3 secondary routes less than expected. This is normal situation.

Heather and Jeff Tie the Knot!
Even though some nasty storms came through the night before the wedding and did some minor damage to the Club, with some quick action and decisions we were able to make some adjustments so that the ceremony could still take place on the terrace garden of Indian Hills Country Club.
As usual, the day began with the bridal party getting hair and make-up. Once complete, they arrived at the Club to get dressed. The girls wore beautiful floor-length chiffon sage green dresses.
The bride, selected her dress from A Formal Occasion. The strapless ivory and champagne taffeta dress had a beautiful beaded design under the bust. The back of the dress complete with a chapel length train, was embellished with crystal encrusted buttons that provided a sparkling effect as the bride moved about.
Capturing the images of the day was the delightful team of Eric and Adrienne DelaForce. The couple opted for seeing each other prior to the ceremony so that they could get those "first-glance" images out of the way by truly seeing each other in their finest. The club has so many lovely vantage points for photos, that Eric had his work cut-out for him.
Marietta Flower Shop provided the floral décor which the bride was so pleased with. Sticking with mostly one-type of flower for the bouquets, boutineers, and corsages, she chose Ivory, champagne and pink roses. While for the reception, the centerpieces were comprised or orchids and hydrangea.
When the time of the ceremony arrived, guests were eagerly awaiting as the gentlemen descended down a side staircase while the girls arrived from the back. The always fabulous, Amadeus Strings, provided the music for the ceremony.
Guests were treated to cocktails while the couple took some photos after the ceremony which included shots taken on the golf course.
Once the Bride and Groom were introduced into the reception, the guests enjoyed a buffet presentation to include Salmon Napoleon, potato slice with spinach, Grilled Italian Vegetable display along with fresh fruits and seasonal berries with chocolate fondue, Sundried tomato hummus with flatbread, a carving station for Roast Beef served with tarragon aioli and creamy horseradish, Fettucine alfredo with grilled chicken, and Roasted sweet potato ravioli with corn cream. Needless to say, the guests had quite a selection of delicious options to fill their bellies.
DJ Robert, with Complete Music, entertained the crowd with the music selections suggested by the couple. Everyone seemed to have fun and take turns on the dance floor.
What is a wedding without cake? Luckily, we didn't have to find out this time as Gabriel's desserts provided the 3-tier square white cake with a simple floral design topped with white and pink orchids.
One moment that I particularly found sweet and emotional was when Heather, her twin sister and her mom embraced on the dance floor dancing together!!!
When it came time for the couple to depart, guests bid farewell among bubbles.
We were pleased to be a part of this celebration and as always, wish our couple a lifetime of Happiness!!
Congratulations, Heather and Jeff!

Bakedrops are a unique range of photography backdrops that can stylise and showcase nearly every sweet treat imaginable, cakes, cupcakes, cookies etc.
These unique backdrops are made with Eco-Solvent Ink and printed onto a highly durable vinyl that can last for years if looked after.
Bakedrops can also be made to free-stand or can be taped to a flat surface to cover a larger area, perfect for tiered cakes or cartoon cars for example.
Bakedrop measures approx.: W: 91.4cm x H: 122cm (36" x 48")
Please note that the actual Bakedrop design will have a small print on the top for identification purposes.
Guide to using your Bakedrops
Creases or wrinkles in your Bakedrop? Firstly, lay your Bakedrop print side down. Place a damp towel over the back of the Bakedrop. With an Iron, set with no steam and on medium temperature, iron right onto the damp towel and your creases should fade away.
Making the perfect photography area to take pictures
Bakedrops can be taped to a wall, this is ideal for tiered cakes. To do this, it is recommended to use painters tape.
You can also have them stand freely by making your own stand.
Using a Bakedrop
The trick is to get as close to the item your are photographing.
Sugar High Inc. was founded in 2009 by full time business entrepreneur and mum of one, Brenda. Brenda set out to explore and experiment in the vast world of cake decorating and baking by making her daughters first birthday cake. It was this that convinced Brenda to return to her favourite past time of drawing and designing.
This combined with her expertise of printing, the Bakedrop was born!

text: Apple Mac Pro Tower High Pitch Whine Published on Sunday 11 October 2009 Categories: Apple | My new Mac Pro tower has had an annoying high pitched squeal or whine when moving windows or scrolling windows on the screen. The sound is not there all the time but only after the machine has been on for a few hours so it had to be heat related. After spending an hour or two tracking down the sound it was coming from the Nvidia 8800GT graphics card which is fitted as standard into the Mac Pro's. Other blogs and forums suggested that the noise is caused by the inductors on the graphics card resonating when under load and needed to be fixed down. After removing the graphics card and taking the heatsink cover off which was held on with cross head screws, I found several large inductors on the board. I painted a small amount of modelling gloss paint onto each side of the inductors and onto the graphic card main board to hold them in place, taking care not to get any paint on other components. I let it dry for a few hours and reassembled the card and put everything back into the Mac Pro tower. After 6 hours continuous use the sound hasn't reappeared so it seems this has cured the high pitch squeal problem. Only try this if you know what you are doing and don't try it if your Apple Mac is still under warranty as I am sure that painting your graphics card be hard to explain if you have to send your machine back to Apple! Permalink 1 Comments Pär Nordqvist 07 April 2019 at 7:44 am Hello! I have big problems with my Mac Pro 12-core mid 2012. It's whining all the time! I have moved it to the right side of the table, and the the sound is even worse. It sounds like you have two computers, one on each side. Your head is ful of a whining sound that doesn't go away until I turn the computer off! I bought this for around 20 000 SEK in 2013 and noticed at once the sound.

My father in law got a DVD from his granddaughter, he wants to get it onto the computer so he can share it with the rest of the family. Can anyone recommend a really easy to use piece of free software that will convert this DVD to digital files, ideally mp4?
I know I can use Google, but I'd have to install the software and check it out before I can recommend it, so I was hoping someone already knew of a good piece of software.

Ultra-violence, hacking, slashing and the burning of bodies isn't something new to Klei Entertiainment. They're back with Shank 2, with a vengeance I might add. Like its predecessor, Shank 2 is a side scrolling, ultra-violent, beat-em-up adventure with a copious helping of platforming thrown in. The story follows the character Shank, an ex-mob hit man. Shank is forced out of retirement because of a rogue general who has taken over the drug cartel and is terrorizing the rebellion. Shank doesn't care until a close friend is kidnapped. He sets out on a bloody adventure to get her back.
Even though a story is present, it serves merely as a weak backdrop to support the real focus of the game: the fighting. Shank prime was hailed for its fun gameplay and brutal violence. By wielding an arsenal of weapons including a machete, chainsaw, sledge hammer, throwing knives, pistols, shotgun, and of course the Shank itself, players will spend the entirety of the game quite literally, ripping enemies a new one. Add in the clever level weapons like the turret gun, fire pits, and circular saw trap doors, and you'll find that there is a metric ton of ways to kill your enemies.
It's worth noting that Shank 2 is not an easy game to start playing. The difficulty curve that you'll have to overcome can be quite infuriating at times, especially with some of the bosses. You'll quickly find that mindless button mashing will only serve to get you killed over and over again. Proper use of all the weapons while dodging constantly is vital to any kind of success. Even then, expect to die a fair number of times.
At first glance, you might be inclined to believe that Shank 2 is just a copy/paste of the original. This is true to a certain degree. Shank 2 doesn't do anything new, nor does it try to break any grounds in terms of innovation. What it does is improve on the original's already addicting mechanics. I wouldn't go as far to say that this instalment is a true sequel but rather Shank 1.5. Klei carried over the elements that made the first game great and fixed the problems that plagued it. The gameplay is exceptionally well polished.
In addition to the constant beat 'em up gameplay, you'll spend a fair amount of time platforming your way through levels. After getting the hang of the physics, it's not too bad to get through. This is one aspect of the gameplay that has been vastly improved since its predecessor. By exploring the levels fully, you'll find different secret files about characters, locations, weapons, etc. It's nothing crucial to the story, but it's a nice addition to the game's longevity, and certainly a fun aside for the treasure hunters our there.
In addition to the single player campaign, Klei has given us a co-op survival mode. In the original game, co-op was only local but this time around, they've given us the option to play online. The survival mode is played with two people who are tasked with defeating waves of enemies while also protecting supply crates that can be blown up. The action is fast paced and can quickly become frantic but it still remains fun, especially if you're playing a friend.
The presentation of the game is great. The art style has a great graphic novel feel to it. The fighting animations are smooth and well executed. The cut scenes aren't quite as exciting, and this is compounded by the poor story that takes a back seat to everything else in the game. The music is fun with a mixture of rock and orchestral, but it all had a very Hispanic, Robert Rodriguez film, quality to it. The voice acting is deliberately cheesy and over the top, making the experience feel like a Stathom (or Stalone if you're old-school) action flick.
Shank 2 is a short game. Single player will last you around 3-4 hours and can be completed in one sitting. Co-op can have you playing for much longer, especially now that it's available for online play. Players who want to beat the game on Hard mode as well as get all of the achievements and in-game medals can expect to spend many hours grinding.
Final Thoughts
Overall, is Shank 2 worth it? The gameplay is great, the art style is fun, the execution is fantastic, and the brutality is not lacking. If you're looking for a story, however, it's worth farts. Klei spent a great deal of time to improve on their original game and it shows.The campaign is very short, but the co-op mode adds more than you think to augment the experience. The steep difficulty curve may anger some people, but if you can push past it and resist the urge to fling your controller through your television, or headdesk your keyboard, you might just find that Shank 2 is fun and very challenging game to play.
|Polished, addicting gameplay with plenty of improvements upon the first game.
|Addition of online co-op is very welcome.
|Expanded level designs create a well balanced experience between fighting and platforming.
|Story is not worth paying attention to.
|Klei stayed safe with this one, nothing new or groundbreaking.
|Extremely steep difficulty curve may present a stumbling block for some, welcome challenge for others.

Two weeks after the Allied victory at Alamein there occurred an incident possibly unparalleled in the history of aerial warfare the mounting of a series of offensive strikes by a whole wing of aircraft from an unprotected base scores of miles behind the enemy's forward positions.
In the autumn of 1942 plans crystallised for the forthcoming British offensive-the Battle of Alamein. It was decided at Allied Air Headquarters, Middle East, that after the German front had been broken a squadron of twelve Kittyhawk fighter-bombers would be sent to an airstrip just behind the German lines, near Fort Maddalena. From there it was to strike at Luftwaffe transports flying urgently-needed petrol into airfields in the EI Adem complex. The projected operation was code- named 'Snapper'.
At 21.40 hours on 23rd. October a barrage from over 1,200 guns heralded the British attack. For. eleven days the battle raged to and fro until, on 2nd November, the Axis front crumbled. The Germans and Italians were thrown into headlong retreat and the race to the west began. The British advance was faster than expected and within six days the Eighth Army had reached Sidi Barani. The El Adem airfields came within range of British fighters and Operation 'Snapper' became superfluous. It was therefore decided to try something more ambitious., to operate a wing of Hurricanes from a landing-ground-code-named L.G.125-deep in the desert behind the German lines, 150 miles east of Agedabia and the same distance south of Derna. The primary target, was to be Axis motor transport retreating westwards along the coast road in the Agedabia. area.
No. 243 Wing, commanded by Wing Commander J. Darwen, was chosen for the operation. It comprised No. 213 Squadron, commanded by Squadron Leader Olver, and No. 238 Squadron, commanded by Squadron Leader Marples. The squadrons left their airfields in the Mersa Matruh area early on the morning of Friday, 13th November-an inauspicious date which did not escape mention in the squadrons' diaries-and at 11.30 hours the force of thirty-six Hurricanes landed at L.G.125.
On the previous day stores had been dumped at the landing ground by Hudsons and Bombays of Nos. 117, 216, and 267 Squadrons, and on the 13th aircraft of these squadrons flew in over a hundred groundcrew and more equipment. The Hurricanes were refuelled soon after arrival, and at 13.45 hours twenty-seven aircraft took off for the first strike-a combined strafe of the road from Agheila to Magrun. The wing split into three formations and hit the road at equidistant points, covering it thoroughly. One force,. led by Wing Commander Darwen, took the road to' tl west of Agheila; that led by Squadron Leader Olver covered tl road between Agheila and Agedabia; and the third, under Squadron Leader Marples, dealt with the section from Agedabia to Magrun.
The attacks came as a complete surprise to the Germans. Troops riding in lorries so far from the front thought themselves safe from air attack, and as the Hurricanes roared along the road at low level the Germans, taking them for Luftwaffe. reinforcements, waved to the pilots! The first bursts of cannon fire quickly dispelled their illusions.
There was considerable movement southwards of German and Italian troops, and the initial attack was most successful. More than ninety motor vehicles were knocked out. Just south of Agheila Pilot Officer McKay saw a Fieseler Storch above the road, flying at 60 feet. Closing to within twenty yards, he fired a one-second burst, and saw strikes on the cockpit; the Storch banked into the ground, cartwheeled, and disintegrated.
Two Hurricanes were lost to ground fire on this operation, and that flown by Squadron Leader Olver suffered severe damage to the tailplane after hitting a telegraph pole. The aircraft could not be controlled at speeds of less than 180 m.p.h., but by skilful flying Olver managed to bring it back to base.
Now the Germans would be aware that British aircraft were operating from a base somewhere in the area, and accordingly the Wing's next attack was launched against the airfields from which aircraft might interfere with the Hurricanes' operations. At 09.05 hours the next morning, Olver led twelve aircraft from his squadron on a strafe of airstrips around Agedabia. As the formation ran in on the first target, Flight Lieutenant Cameron spotted a Savoia-Marchetti S.M.79 flying low to the east. He closed in and gave the Italian bomber an eight-second burst from a head-on position; the centre engine burst into flames and the aircraft dived into the ground and exploded. Squadron Leader Olver saw three Fiat C.R.42s on the side of the airfield, and flew along the line spraying them with cannon shells. One blew up so violently that Olver's own machine was damaged, and the other two were destroyed. The formation then flew westwards over the town of Agedabia, shooting up some troops in he main- square before attacking the airfield on the other side. Pilot Officers Furneaux and Smith jointly destroyed a Fiat C.R.42 and Squadron Leader Olver damaged a Junkers Su.87,
On the return flight the squadron ran into trouble. There were no radio homing aids on the makeshift airfield and low Cumulous clouds cast shadows on the -ground wh ch made it mpossible to identify the dark patch of. sand used as a landmark the north of L.G.125. The force was soon lost. Six aircraft headed east past the battle front, and landed at Gambut. The remainder force-landed in the open desert some fifty miles north of the base. The aircraft which landed at Gambut refuelled and immediately flew back to LG. 125; the others were located during
the afternoon by a search aircraft from No.238 Squadron, but nevertheless had to spend the night in the open.
In the meantime No. 238 Squadron had not been idle. At 10.40 hours Squadron Leader Marples led twelve aircraft against the road north of Agedabia, where they found plenty of targets. Twenty-six vehicles were knocked out, and many troops riding in them were killed. During this raid the Hurricanes were shadowed by two Messerschmitt Bf 109s which turned tail whenever they were offered battle. The Germans followed the force on the return flight for fifteen miles, then broke off contact. Clearly the Wing would have to be prepared for more active interference with its operations in the future. However, no enemy aircraft were seen when the squadron launched its afternoon. strafe on the road east of Agheila, and fifteen vehicles were knocked out almost at leisure.
On 15th November, at 06.25 hours, Squadron Leader Marples led his squadron against the Agheila airfields. As usual, complete surprise was achieved. Flight Lieutenant Ayerst destroyed a Ju.52 on the ground, Sergeant Morris destroyed another, and Sergeant Allington scored hits on a Messerschmitt Bf 109. Afterwards the squadron used up the remainder of its ammunition on vehicles on the main road, and knocked out thirty-eight. One aircraft was lost during this attack.
At 09.10 hours two aircraft from No. 213 Squadron flew out to the Hurricanes stranded in the desert. The latter refuelled from the long range tanks of the relief aircraft, and the whole force returned to L.G.125.
During the morning, six Hurricanes of No. 213 Squadron, led by Wing Commander Darwen, set out to strafe the landing ground at Gailo. On the way they chanced upon an Italian column comprising fourteen vehicles, four field guns and an armoured car, only sixty miles from L.G.125. In fact this was the garrison from Siwa Oasis in full retreat, but to the British it looked like a full-scale attempt to wipe out their base. The Hurricanes attacked the field guns and the lorries towing them, knocking out all four combinations. They were then forced to break off the attack as their ammunition was exhausted. The column became the top-priority target, and a shuttle service was organised against it. At 10.30 hours four aircraft of No. 238 Squadron took off to resume its destruction, and, finding the column stationary in the desert, pressed home their attacks. Ten ,vehicles were destroyed before the ammunition ran out, and the remainder was knocked out just before noon by a four-aircraft strike under Squadron Leader Marples.
Wing Commander Darwen was anxious that the armoured cars should 'mop up' the remnants of the Italian force, but owing to the distance involved and the rough nature of the terrain this plan was dropped; the column no longer constituted any real threat to L.G.125.
At 11.35 hours six aircraft of No. 213 Squadron, led by Flying Officer Haule, took off for the delayed strafe of Gailo
Airfield. They approached from the south, and the leader opened the score by destroying one Cant 1007 on the ground and damaging another. Squadron Leader Young scored several bits on a Ju.88, which blew up, and went on to destroy two Fiat C.R.42s. One S.M.79 was destroyed by Pilot Officer Carrick, and the destruction of another was shared by -Flying _Officer Furneaux and Flight Sergeant Wilson. On the way out the Hurricanes strafed a column entering Gailo from the East, and five vehicles were knocked out.
At dusk on the 15th, just as a party of ground crew arrived after driving from Mersa Matruh, the armoured car screen reported nine hostile bombers approaching the area from the west. The vehicles were hastily dispersed, and four aircraft of No. 213 Squadron were scrambled, but no attack materialised. However, it was an augury that the lack of opposition had probably run its course. Owing to its exposed position, L.G.125 could never survive an attack in any strength, and with much regret it was decided to terminate operations on the following. day.
For their final show, on the 16th November, ten 213 Squadron aircraft took off at 08.30 hours for another attack on Gailo airfield, led by Wing Commander Darwen. Except for the burntout wreck of the Ju.88 destroyed on the previous day there were no aircraft on the field, and the only worthwhile target was a solitary armoured car, which the wing commander destroyed. Some thirty miles to the north-west, however, the squadron found a long column of stationary vehicles. Some of the lorries had red stripes across their bonnets as if to create the impression that they were carrying casualties. They were not attacked, but the others were, and twenty-seven were destroyed.
Also at 08.30 hours, Squadron Leader Marples led eleven aircraft of his squadron on a strafe of the coast road near Agheila. They found heavy traffic on the road, and carried out their firing runs without loss in the face of some flak and machine-gun fire. Forty-two vehicles were knocked out, and as the Hurricanes turned for base fifteen fires were counted. Towards the end of the attack a Ju.88 was seen at 5,000 feet, escorted by three Messerschmitt Bf 109s. The latter made no attempt to attack, and it appeared that the German aircraft were there for the express purpose of tracking the British back to their base. If this was the case the attempt was a half-hearted one, for the Hurricanes soon eluded their pursuers.
During the latter part of the morning eight Hudsons arrived to fly out those of the groundcrews not proceeding back overland. At 12.30 hours the transports, escorted by the Hurricanes, took off for more secure bases in the Fuka area.
The three days of operations from L.G.125 had been extremely successful, and had cost the Axis more than three hundred and ten vehicles, fourteen aircraft destroyed, and three damaged. This was at a time when the Afrika Korps needed every vehicle it could lay its hands on for the withdrawal. Many troops and much equipment had to be left behind, and there can be little doubt that the loss of so many lorries was felt.
The squadrons had flown 156 sorties, and lost three Hurricanes and their pilots in action. In addition four aircraft which were too badly damaged to return to Fulca, were destroyed by the ground party before they moved out. Thus ended an extremely bold and successful operation, one carried out in the very best traditions of the Royal Air Force.

Welcome back for Part II of this prophetic now word from Curt Landry.
(Click Here to read Part I of "What is Separating You from Your Harvest?")
"There is one who scatters, yet increases more; and there is one who withholds more than is right, but it leads to poverty."—Proverbs 11:24
I have heard numerous stories from people whose families struggled with giving. Oftentimes someone in their family history had given once to an organization that did not handle those funds properly. So instead of walking in forgiveness, a bitterroot judgment springs up and creates a false belief that says giving does not produce a harvest. This judgment is passed down from one generation to the next. However, this is not an accurate evaluation.
The Word of God clearly states the importance of being a cheerful giver. That said, of course I would never condone putting your hard-earned funds into an organization that has a record of wrong doing, but when a mistake is made and trust is broken, it is important to remember to walk in forgiveness, both with others and with ourselves. These actions will reap a Kingdom return eventually, and it gives God an opportunity to return all that was stolen.
"The generous soul will be made rich, and he who waters will also be watered himself."—Proverbs 11:25
I am always amazed at how good God is! When I look back over my life I see His hand of protection over me, even while I was still walking in sin. God is very generous even with those who do not deserve it. He sets an example for us, as He chooses to seek us out despite our shortcomings.
"The thoughts of the righteous are right, but the counsels of the wicked are deceitful."—Proverbs 12:5
True victory lies in consistency. We must begin to search out the Word of God in areas of struggle that deal with our thought lives. God is breaking down the misconceptions that have held us back… if we will only allow Him to. We must stop using our past as an excuse, and start understanding that His grace has made room for us to prosper, and that by the blood of Yeshua we were truly forgiven of our sin, so that we can experience life as a rightful heir, and not as a pauper.
"What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not! Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one's slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?"—Romans 6:15-16
Many denominations have created a false doctrine that is filtered through a poverty mentality and/or a religious spirit. Rather than deal with these root iniquities in their bloodline they have created an entire theological study on why the Word of God is no longer accurate for modern times. No, grace is not a license to sin, but it is the reward of those of us who do our best to walk in right standing with God, but still fail because we are human. A religious spirit will condemn in order to bring punishment, but the Holy Spirit will convict to bring repentance… which leads to correction born out of love.
"But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."—Romans 6:22-23
When you were born again, filled with the Holy Spirit, and water baptized, you were really freed from your sin. However, the reason that so many people still struggle with sin once they are saved, is because they have not been taught that they are free. They have not been shown how to deal with the old mentalities that kept them bound in the past, and do not understand that they can cancel the demonic structures that have been holding them hostage. It does not mean we will walk a perfect life, but it should mean that each year we are growing, and gaining new levels of victory, not suffering the same old defeats.
"I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake; and I will not remember your sins."—Isaiah 43:25
When we became born again, God blotted out our transgressions so that our guilt would not bring shame to the family name. He blots these things out, but we must come out of agreement with iniquity and begin to line-up with His words of truth for us.

Mixed Media Works on Oil or Watercolour Board.
Journeys to Many Landscapes. Where I Fell in Love Gallery, Shipston-on-Stour.
"When you look at the paintings, you notice that your eyes become activated. You are confronted by patches and areas of colour and coloured lines, splashes of paint and crosses. There's a sense of push and pull, distance and nearness. The mark-making creates a busy surface. Your mind is taken up with reading one part and then looking at another that is different in character, and so on. The paintings do have something in common. They have a restless, agitated air about them with sometimes a predominant yellow, red or black and occasional flicks of white. These works are not dull. They have balance and unity in spite of the variations of surface, shape, colour, line and space. They satisfy the eye and with more prolonged viewing, the need for an aesthetic experience. They are also coherent but they represent a challenge to the sensibility of the viewer as there is no narrative that might help to sidestep the issue of meaning. Works such as these provide a satisfying aesthetic experience and are complete in themselves."

I left Antigua in the late afternoon, arriving in Guatemala City starving. My cousin Esther had homemade matzoh ball soup prepared. Not only does she add noodles but also potatoes, carrots and onion. She had run out of frijoles negros so she phoned neighbors to find some. Her maid Moda made sure there were plaintains because she remembered from last year that I love them. We caught up in her white tiled kitchen with a cup of hot tea.
I was born and raised in Calfornia so I'm used to earthquakes. I was jolted out of sleep by a 5.6 magnitude tremblor my first morning in Guatemala City around 5 AM.
"Esther" I called out and wandered into her room in the dark. Her son and Moda were all in her becroom. We sat on the king sized bed for a bit and spoke about the shaking.Esther said it's called a temblor, which is not quite a full earthquake.
I walked back to my bedroom to sleep. After a shower, in the middle of blow drying my hair, another smaller one hit.
Today Esther and I went to the grocery store. I bought candy treats for my mother that she will remember from her childhood and a comal to make tortillas from scratch. I also bought a six pack of frijoles negros. I'm using a second piece of luggage I keep stuffed in my large luggage to bring home all the food items.
Moda taught me how to make the tortillas. I watched her add water to the dry corn mix.Then she did something with her hands to roll it into a small ball.A handful of dough makes a good size tortilla. She used plastic in between the tortilla maker so the dough doesn't stick. Then she cooked the dough for about one minute on each side. If someone tried to explain what she showed me I could not have understood. I'm visual, I need to be shown.
Esther made a typical Guatemalan egg dish for our dinner. She chopped tomatoes and onions, cooked in oil. She added a tiny piece of a fiery hot pepper. She cooked two eggs for each of us then added the tomato onion mixture on top. I had hot corn tortillas with butter that I just learned to cook.
At the airport a man confiscated the candy treats I bought for my mother. He set it aside as if he was going to eat it as soon as I boarded. I explained to a supervisor and attendant that I wanted to bring home Guatemalan candy to my mother, who hadn't been home in fifty three years. I asked a flight attendant if there was anything she could do. She said my candies resembled the material sometimes used for bombs, that nothing could be done to retreive the candy. I was visibly upset.
An attendant mid flight asked me if if was the one whose candy was confiscated. She asked if she could give me some Guatemalan cookies for my mother. I thanked her. She returned with a bag of a dozen small packages of cookies. I was moved by her caring enough to go out of her way for my mother.
Being awoken by barking dogs and the walk by the lake every morning seems so long ago. I'll miss the exchange of "Buenos Dias" with each person I passed. I'll be careful about using metaphors and cliches in my writing.I felt so blessed eating those breakfasts of frijoles negros, scrambled eggs, homemade bread, yogurt, granola and all the local fruits at Joyce's every morning.
Todavia estoy enamorado de la belleza del pais, la calidez de la gente, la cultura, la comida, la lengua. I'm still in love with the beauty of the country, the warmth of the people, the culture, the food, the language.

text: MAY 2019 CFPB announces proposed rule for debt collection industry. that is at least five days after the collector sent the validation notice, excluding legal public holidays and weekends. In the pre-rulemaking period, ACA submitted a model validation notice to the CFPB, and the proposed rule does include a model form for a validation notice which provides a safe harbor for collectors who use it. (A note: it doesn't look exactly like what ACA suggested.) ACA will have comments and suggestions surrounding improvements to the model validation notice, including requirements for itemization and other aspects of it that don't account for different types of debt. Section 1006.34 of the proposed rule would also permit a debt collector to include statements in the validation notice informing consumers how they may request the notice in Spanish, if the collector chooses to provide a Spanish-language translation. The proposal would permit a debt collector to provide a validation notice translated into any language, if the debt collector also sends an Englishlanguage validation notice in the same communication or if the debt collector previously sent an English-language validation notice. NEXT STEPS We've said it before and we'll say it again: this is only a proposed rule and is not a final regulation. The rule is subject to a 90-day public comment period following its publication in the Federal Register, which concludes on Aug. 19. Days after the proposed rule was announced, ACA held a members-only teleseminar to walk members through each component of the rule. Additional COLLECTOR 07.19 teleseminars addressing specific aspects of the proposed rule were held in June (you can purchase recordings here www. acainternational.org/shop). ACA's Annual Convention & Expo, which will be held July 14-16 in San Diego, will also address the proposed rule at multiple education sessions and panels. ACA members are encouraged to review the proposed rule and discuss its impact with your compliance, operations and executive teams. ACA gathered member feedback about compliance burdens or benefits the proposed rule might provide, and is currently drafting a comment letter to the CFPB. ACA will also be seeking support of Congress, like-minded groups and other regulators during the rulemaking process. Will the final rule be very different from the proposed rule? How drastically will it change? Industry experts speculate the rule's main points will probably remain the same (for example, we can be certain it will address validation notices in some capacity), but what the bureau will do between now and when the rule is released is fine-tune the details. That's why ACA will continue to work closely with the CFPB to advocate on behalf of the accounts receivable management industry and to ensure that the final rule will be beneficial for the debt collection industry and consumers alike. Anne Rosso May is managing editor of Collector magazine. 1 The CFPB's proposed rule provides some regulatory clarity for the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, more than 40 years after the law's enactment. 2 Many of the issues ACA pushed the CFPB to address-a safe harbor for voicemail messages and how to lawfully communicate with consumers through email and text messages-made it into the proposed rule. 3 After you review the proposed rule, submit your comments about it directly to the CFPB. 23http://www.acainternational.org/shop http://www.acainternational.org/shop https://files.consumerfinance.gov/f/documents/cfpb_debt-collection-NPRM.pdf

马浚伟北上成立工作室 "小玄子"变身马老板

full length video 明星在身边 马浚伟
pptv website
QQ= QQ Entertainment (Tencent)
S=Steven Ma
Many mainland tv viewers first knew of Steven Ma through this 16-year-old tv series, Duke of Mt. Deer, and later through tvb series got to know him. The winter break is fast approaching, and soon it's the time to once again see "Xiao Xuan Zi" (tn: Steven's KangXi) on tv reruns.* As for the real person Steven Ma himself, he is presently here in Beijing to formally open his "Zhong-Xiang TaoYuan Steven Ma Work Studio". In 2013 he had a fruitful year up north; in 2014 he plans to branch out his career in different directions; besides filming, music, and book publication, he will also get involve in directing, planning, artists management, and may even do some side business; thus, "Kang Xi" may soon become "Boss Ma" (lao ban). In this Tencent interview Steven speaks eloquently of his future plans, his fluent Mandarin spoken with hardly any Hong Kong accent will definitely be advantageous to his ventures up north.
Mainland Work Studio has High Flexibility
Following the establishment of his Hong Kong's "Xiao Ma Work Studio", Steven set up his mainland "Zhong-Xiang Tao Yuan Steven Ma Work Studio" in Beijing. He describes this collaboration (tn: with Tao Yuan company) as having a feel of an "instant clicking together" celerity. The investment from Zhong-Xiang TaoYuan's owner, Chairman Huang Hong, gives Steven a flexibility in which to develop his artistic career.
QQ: What fortuitous circumstances afforded you to establish a work studio in the mainland?
S: Actually, late 2012 I'd already established "Xiu Ma Work Studio" (小马工作室) in Hong Kong, so all along I had this intention. In the past, there were several companies wanting to sign a management contract with me but I was not ready to commit just yet. These companies are all excellent and professional but I wanted to test the waters on my own. Before this, I knew Zhong-Xiang Taoyuan's owner, Chairman Huang; through a friend he inquired about my situation but at the time I was still with TVB. Last year we saw each other at Beijing. He initiated the collaboration talk with me. He said: "I'll make an investment so that you can open a work studio." Ten days later he flew over to Hong Kong to talk with me in earnest; very sincere. I felt he had vision and his company had the capability and strength, so within a short period we were already into the contract negotiation stage, in less than six months our contract was finalized. Our collaboration officially began on Jan 1st 2014. We are those who clicked instantly. Indeed, interpersonal relation truly depends on affinity and fate.
QQ: Heard that your work studio will involve movie/ tv series filming and investment, so does that mean you'll wear different hats besides an actor's?
S: The issue was indeed discussed in our negotiation talks. The work studio will be autonomous. The company will give me a budget to do stuff such as: directing, producing my own movies, and branching out in different directions. The main thing is, it's great that I'll have investment funds granted me. (smile) Actually many ideals can't be realized without a monetary investment. Also, I'll be involved in the artists management sector too. (So you will sign up other artists?) Yes, but I think that won't be until the latter half of the year, would have to wait for operations to get smoothed out first and then will go for it. I feel that signing up an actor will have some conflict with my own character role. (smile) I do have a few female candidates in mind. I know them all. I have to be utmost responsible when signing a contract with them, so must have a good plan first.
March, Mandarin Song to Dedicate to Father
Most people know Steven through TV series but he actually debuted as a singer. He possesses a great singing skill. But in 2003 he began to concentrate more on filming until 10 years later last year (July) he released a new music album (Cherish) incorporating a gospel concept to transmit positive energy. It generated good reviews from the Cantonese speaking regions. Venturing north to further his career, Steven reveals March this year he will plug a new Mandarin song. Last year his "For Mother: Weary" garnered positive reviews. This time the new song is for his father.
QQ: Year 2013 you did a lot of stuff such as releasing a new music album after a 10-year-lapse. You debuted as a singer, why waited so long?
S: Actually during the past 10 years I sang too, sang tv series themesongs, and also held concerts and performed on stage in other countries, just that I did not release a music album. At the time while chatting with the cd records company's boss, they (tn: the boss and others) said why don't you release a cd, use gospel as the theme, and thru your artistic medium, spread some positive stuff.
QQ: Indeed, gospel songs and pop singers don't give off quite the same feel.
S: True, had not released an album for so long, if had me released another pop songs album, there's not much motivation. But conversely towards a gospel album there was this sense of purpose and accomplishment. The responses in Hong Kong and in Guangdong are not bad, but we did not do any promotions here in Beijing.
QQ: So, will release Mandarin songs then?
S: We're currently preparing a music album; the title song is in Mandarin. Estimated time of the title song release is March this year. (tn: Album's estimate release is in June) Its content's pretty much like before, conveying the message of all that's good in things - truth, virtue and beauty. Hope everybody will like it. The title song is not about romance but about my dad. (Last year you wrote about your mom.) Yes, wrote for my mom now will write for my dad, else he'll be unhappy. Because my mom has passed away but my dad, he is still very healthy. He was a public bus driver for many years and has sacrificed much for our family. Also, have you noticed this, every year people make a big deal over Mother's Day but for Father's Day, there's not much going on. Also, the display of affection for parents differ too. We can say mom I love you but not that easy to say dad I love you. Maybe it's the problem between men, like how can I hug my dad and say: Dad, I love you. But in truth I love him all the same.
QQ: Cocoon in a Storm (Property Protector) airs February; acting skill surged
Last year, (sic 2012) Steven filmed "The Legend of Kublai Khan"《建元风云》and "Yuan Yang Pei"《鸳鸯佩》in which he attempted different performing styles and different filming methods that differed from before. When Steven returned to film the tvb series, Producer Leung Choi Yuen, whom he has collaborated many times in the past, felt the difference in Steven's performance, especially with his restrain in crying scenes. Steven jests that he has too much snot when he cries. SIAC will air next month on February 17th on tvb Jade channel.
QQ: You filmed "Yuan Yang Pei" in mainland, portraying two roles with contrasting personalities, what was the biggest challenge at the time of filming?
S: Initially when the company gave me the script, it was for the role of Shen Qi Jun ( 沈其峻) but I rejected that. It's not that he is not good but that this kind of character I've portrayed too many times already. Even if I'm not bored, the audience might. So I told the director I want to act Tang Ting Xuan and Lai Fu instead. I felt that though Ting Xuan is an antagonist he is not a bad sort. Being treated by you this way; everybody used me, framed me; even younger brother seeks to kill me; I'm not the biological son and even got booted out; quite pitiful. During filming, the scriptwriter told me she also liked Tang Ting Xuan the most when she was writing the script; he has very realistic human characteristics, not overly fantasticized; In this world, can't deny that people are selfish. He (Tang Ting Xuan) exemplifies a real world person. Many viewers after watching this series all said they feel the most sorry for Tang Ting Xuan. He is truly a tragic character. I've had fun portraying him.
QQ: You have also filmed a pre-modern TVB series too, how different was it shooting tvb period dramas vs mainland's?
S: People seem to have the wrong impression that I've filmed many pre-modern period dramas but actually the dramas I filmed are mostly ancient drama, Qing dynasty drama and modern drama. "Yuan Yang Pei" is in fact my first pre-modern period drama, and following that is SIAC (Property Protector), what we dubbed Early Republican Era drama, and that was because I requested it. I felt that Zhong Shan costumes suit me. Tis' odd why previously they did not approach me to film for such era. After filming "Yuan Yang Pei", many producers commented that I look handsome in my Early Republican Era makeover. I said to them you only found out now, isn't it a bit too late? (smile)
QQ: In SIAC, you collaborated with Uncle Choi and Tavia Yeung again, where does the new spark come from?
S: That day Uncle Choi said to me that after viewing the edited 32 episodes he felt that Steven Ma is different; the eye expression has changed. They (sic) felt I performed that better than before, has a fresh feel to it; the style of my acting deliverance has also changed. Earlier when filming "The Legend of Kublai Khan", and "Yuan Yang Pei" I felt the difference between them vs TVB. The acting rhythm and the expression of feeling are all different. Before, I restrained my emotions too inwardly; what? Want people to examine what's in your eyes? In the past I had this conviction, you gotta look into my eyes ya, so can see into my heart to know my feelings. But there isn't enough time on television for viewers to look into your heart. But now I feel that I should express my feelings more outwardly; the variations in the expression, skin and muscles all must have. This time in SIAC, I experienced with this method. The producer and director all said it's very different. My first scene shot was that of my back and hands. I was holding a letter. The director said even Steven's back and hands were acting. Now, in my crying scenes I tried my best not to let my tears fall. First sign of tears, I'll hold them back. Don't want too much tears. Same for nasal mucus, especially since in every crying scene I have lots of mucus. (smile) This character is a soldier. As for my feeling, why don't you tell me after you finished watching it!
"3 Views" Very Positive; Most Want to Work with Xu Zheng (徐峥)
Steven is chatty and knows how to enliven the atmosphere. During the photoshoot he nonstop played with the stuffed penguin in his hand, and even advised the reporter to get a male penguin to pair up with the one in his hand. Afterwards, he said why not make it a 12 zodiac set? But at reviewing his weibo entries, I feel that he is very serious, concern of current affairs and have a sense of responsibility. When talking to him, (I) felt that this is an artist whose "3 views" are intrinsically positive and upright. (tn: 3 views = outlook on life, outlook on world view, and values)
QQ: When browsing your weibo, feel that you are very concern about current affairs. You will stand up to express your pov. Do you feel that an artist should have this sense of responsibility?
S: I believe even if I'm not an artist I'll still do the same. Many Hong Kong friends must think I'm crazy. I read the newspaper(s) daily: Hong Kong news, mainland news, international news, save the entertainment news for the last but still will read it. First, read the social and international news. I especially pay attention to social happenings like earlier there was this young girl beating up a child inside an elevator. I got so angry after reading it. (I saw your repost!) Not only repost but I scolded too. I even used TMD (ta ma de) this kind of (tn: cuss) word. Also charity this kind of stuff, artist or not, still should do.
QQ: Also your books, they are not pictorial book but rather some casual prose writings and sentiments; feel that you are a very serious person. But at the same you know how to often enliven the atmosphere. So which is the real you?
S: Actually I'm not serious lah! I can only say that my thinking is pretty much universal precepts. (正规) . Maybe see from a different angle I'm a boring person. I'm particular about self-regulation/ discipline, understand the right and wrong in life. I will always take that direction. When chatting with friends, they all said what kind of era (tn: we are in) now, they hink I should be a police man. I'm also very punctual, when shooting film I'll never be late. Now that I'm older, conversely I like to play more. (qq: Opposite from other people, who love to play during school years.) Because when I was young I couldn't play. After Form 5 graduation I worked immediately and in business at that. Also at 16 or 17 years old, I looked like 20 years old. So I didn't have a wild and reckless juvenile period. When everybody was playing I was already working. As I grew older conversely when everybody was at work I want to play. haha I find myself sometimes very childish.
QQ: Maybe when young had to work to take care of family, because men need their own careers, now stabilized, can relax.
S: Also can put it this way, my work in the past few years are pretty stable. Step by step development, and now opening a work studio in Beijing, I've nothing to worry about. Besides developing new stuff, most important is to play lo! (smile) Besides that I can bring in some promising stuff to do, later you all will see me both as an artist and also as a businessman, such as this one project which I hope will take shape in year end, it involves education. My sister in Hong Kong has opened a tuition/learning center, the teaching materials are excellent. I can bring that in here or maybe in the future even have a "Zhong-Xiang Tao Yuan Steven Ma Learning Center".
QQ: Do you have a mainland artist you most like to collaborate?
S: Many! Recently I really like Xu Zheng (徐峥) At first because of watching《人再囧途之泰囧》so I watched his past work. This director cum actor, he's very real and very three-dimensional. The stuff he filmed is quite like western films, different from the usual Chinese style of filming. Truly feel he acted really well. I've also finished watching "Finding Mr. Right"《北京遇上西雅图》I feel both Frank Wu Xiu Bo 吴秀波 and Tang Wei (汤唯) did well too. I also like Qin Hai Lu. (秦海璐)
QQ: Your upcoming work is truly worth anticipating, especially with Horse year coming up!
S: Year 2014 is Horse year. My last name is Ma, but I'm not in the Horse zodiac. Many people say in Horse year, people with last name "Ma" will do well but what's the correlation ya? But, for the real Horse zodiac, twin horses galloping as one will speed up.
Notes: Domd1998 is arguably one of the most popular/beloved reruns on mainland tv local and satellite channels.
腾讯娱乐讯 (文/丁丁(微博) 图/Mango)很多内地观众因为16年前的《鹿鼎记》(黄晓明版 陈小春版 梁朝伟版) 认识马浚伟(微博),并通过TVB剧对他熟识。寒假来临,又到了能在电视台的重播看到"小玄子"的时候,而真身马浚伟,则来到北京为他的"中港桃园马浚伟工作室"做宣传。2013年,他北上拍戏收获良多;2014年则是要在事业上全面开花,除影视、音乐、出书一个都不能少以外,还要涉足导演、策划、经纪,甚至想做点其他生意,"康熙"就这样摇身一变成"马老板"。他接受腾讯娱乐专访,对这些未来侃侃而谈,一口很难听出香港口音的流利普通话,倒真的像是他北上发展的一大优势。
"三观"很正 最想合作徐峥(微博)
马浚伟:那真的很多!我最近非常喜欢的是徐峥,开始是因为看了《泰囧》,就回去看他以前的作品。这个导演加演员,很真实很立体。他拍的东西其实挺外国片的,一反华人电影的拍摄方式。真的觉得他演得非常好!我也看完了《北京遇上西雅图》,觉得吴秀波(微博)和汤唯都很好。另外我还喜欢秦海璐(微博)(微信号:qinhailu811 ) 。
