![]() ![]() The pace is capable to detail a scene like, for example, Max and Riton brushing their teeth without being boring. ![]() Will Max exchange his gold for Riton? "Touchez pas au grisbi" is a classy French-Italian production with a great story of honor and friendship. He abducts Riton to force Max to give the gold to him. Riton has made a comment to Josy about the gold and soon Angelo discovers that Max and Riton have the stolen gold. Riton's mistress Josy (Jeanne Moreau) is tired of him and has found a new lover to support her, Angelo (Lino Ventura), who is a dangerous gangster. They have stolen eight gold bars of 12 kg each that worth 50-million francs and Max has kept them hidden for their retirement. The middle age bon-vivant Max (Jean Gabin) is a former gangster and close friend of his partner Riton (René Dary). A very taut yet leisurely script, excellent acting and a dynamite finale-this film is terrific. For example, when Bob grabs a showgirl's breast backstage, you know this sure ain't a Hollywood film of the 50s! Overall, there's nothing not to like about the film. Aside from TOUCHEZ PAS AU GRISBI ("Don't Touch the Loot"), other such French films as BOB LE FLAMBEUR ("Bob the Gambler") and RIFIFI proved that in some ways, even, the French could do Noir better-achieving a certain realistic sleaziness that American censors wouldn't allow. In the 50s, the French began imitating American Noir but often they made it uniquely their own-with grittier dialog (with much spicier language), a bit of nudity and a sharper edge. When Riton is captured, what will Max do? Will he leave his old friend or will he give up the gold to ransom Riton? And, even if he does surrender the loot, what then?! The film did a great job creating a Film Noir ambiance that is uniquely French. Too bad that Riton wasn't quite as smart, as a "dame" weaseled this secret out of him and told another crook-who now is determined to get the gold. ![]() His contingency plans were brilliant as well and he seemed to have covered every base. Instead of running away or spending the money, he just sat tight and did nothing to tip his hand. Unknown to the other thugs, Max and his friend (Riton) committed a huge heist of 50,000.000 francs in gold a year earlier. However, despite being "on top", he's very tired of the life and longs for retirement. His manners are pretty effortless and he is a big man in the underworld. It was refreshing to see him playing such an unglamorous role. Gabin was 50 years-old when he made this film and, if anything, looks a good bit older than that-looking more like a man of 60. However, in a brave move, actor Jean Gabin plays a role of an older man who is simply tired and ready to call it quits on his life of crime. Sometimes actors never know when to quit-playing youthful roles long after they are obviously too old to realistically carry off the character. ![]()

The owners and chef have quite a bit of experience in the restaurant business and their story is fascinating and inspiring.

Saffron crème brulee - the best of Persian and French dining on an open plate topped with saffron ice-cream. Just when you think Chef Najari is the consummate traditionalist, he produces a brulee zaferan for dessert. Oh, and koresht-e ghorme sabzi - kidney beans and spinach forced to fraternise with lamb and dried limes in a claypot… the dish is unforgettable. There were several other highlights: saffron-dyed shrimps, succulent lamb chops and tender beef, all served on a charcoal tabletop grill and bearing the hallmarks of a protracted marinade. And a concoction of fried-eggplant with sun-dried yogurt and mint topped with crispy garlic and onion had us smacking lips in a manner almost unfitting for this sophisticated Doha restaurant. Individual bowls of yogurt with rose and raisins called mast-o-khiar are refreshing and mandatory (you won’t want to share yours). The salad-e shirazi is so dainty that every cucumber, tomato and onion is chopped to a punctilious brunoise cut. Whether intended or not, the appetisers here command attention. What’s described as grilled eggplant with tomato and garlic masks the toil behind stewing charred aubergine with eggs and spices over slow fire, resulting in a puree bursting with deliciousness. Simply put, it is an orb of magnificence.Īnother example: mirza ghasemi.

The Army Carbine was considered first, and ultimately proved too useful to not remain as one of my two weapon choices. Once again, ranged attacking is very important in this trial. Spirits Selection: Hearty Punch (+1 life), Leechade (Gain Health upon injuring foes), Bastion Bourbon (+2 potions), Bull Brandy (+15% defense), Squirt Cider (+10 HP), Cinderbrick Stout (+33% mobility while Defending), Dreadrum (+10% crit chance at full health), Lunkhead Liqueur (+100% damage on counter blocks), Black Rye (+2 Black Tonic Capacity), Graver Gimlet (+5% chance to turn Zealous after defeating an enemy) Singer's Dream Note that Werewhiskey and Lifewine were not selected, as they encourage risky gameplay, which is not particularly desirable. After most of the options were selected, some more offensive choices were made. Spirits were first selected that increased survivability. Upgrades: Burstone Bombs (+25% blast radius), Target System (+50% aiming speed), High-explosive Charges (+35% damage), Dampened Tubing (+15% critical Hit Chance), Stonewall Propellant (immunity to bomb damage).Īlthough not a big contributer to my success, I used the Trapper Snare Secret ability for this trial. It has the added bonus of still hitting most enemies that invoke the Garmuth idol (when foes deflect attacks randomly). This makes fast work of the previously mentioned gasfellas, along with other high health enemies. This weapon has a large area of effect, high damage, and, unlike the Calamity Cannon, locks onto enemies. So I started looking at the even higher damage weapons. In particular, this weapon struggles against the big blue Gasfellas (the ones that put holes into the arena). While the Army Carbine is pretty exceptional at destroying most enemies in this challenge, due to some of the upgrade choices made, it struggles against some of the larger ones. Upgrades: Speed Tuning (+30% mobility while aiming), Marksman Barrel (+50% aim speed), Insulated Chamber (35% Faster Reload), Combat Scope (+15% damage), Boomer Rounds (bullets cause area damage) Added damage, and area of effect upgrades round out the upgrades, and allow the Carbine to pack a much needed punch (not to mention, enabling it to do well against groups of enemies Weapon 1 - Army Carbine Luckily, the first three upgrades for the Carbine all give the opportunity to deal with these pitfalls. However, the name of the game in these challenges is speed of execution, and the stock Carbine is a hinderance to both your mobility and how quickly you can pull off a shot or two quickly. There are a number of ranged weapons in Bastion, but none reaches the range of the Army Carbine, which also packs quite a punch. I found that, overall, it lacked the punch I needed, but still possessed many desirable traits (Notably, relatively quick draw time, long distance damage, abusable power shot). At first, I considered the Breaker's Bow, being my mainstay weapon for my first playthrough. Kid's Dreamįor these challenges, I find that doing damage from far away is critical to your survivability. Note that being level 10, with fully upgraded weapons, while not required, is definitely recommended. With that said, I have completed the first two sequences, and my recommended load outs are listed below. While it is probably true that all sets are viable in vanilla Bastion (no idols), this is simply not true about the 10 idol challenges. Probably one of the most helpful things you can do is list the load out you used for any defeated sequence. This will be a good way to help fellow duders get into one of the top positions on the leaderboards, and not have to worry about losing their spot ever again. I thought it would be a good idea to amass some tips and tricks for beating each different sequence. I figure at least a few Giant Bombers are going to be (or already have) attempting some of the 10 idol challenges for Bastion. ![]() ![]() What hooked me on Wunderlist was the ability to type in the word tomorrow and have the task automatically set itself due for tomorrow.

![]() ![]() The radar cross-section is one of the world’s smallest even in a clean loadout, not to mention when the others start loading weapons on their wings which further increases the radar cross section of them compared to the F-35. The F-35 is not mainly built for high speeds, it is built as an attack aircraft (as well), like the A-10 Thunderbolt II and therefore needs low speeds to be able to shoot at the enemy on the ground for longer times before passing it. Radar cross section (without any external load) (in m^2): Below is a table that shows some other important figures. How does it compare to other fighters?īut there are many other factors that determine the skill and usefulness of a fighter. This was the original idea of the F-35 produce many, giving it a lower unit cost. The price per unit will be reduced when all the planned fighters have been built – currently 2400 to the US and a couple of hundreds more to foreign buyers. So the price is currently very high, but we must remember that the cost is (partially) this high because the engineers basically developed three different aircraft in the project. For instance, the Eurofighter Typhoon costs about $110 million dollars per unit, with a much lower maintenance cost ($18 000 per hour). The unit cost is currently about $150 million (for the VTOL version) and a maintenance cost of about $31 000 per flight hour is extremely expensive compared to the very capable 4.5 generation fighters out there. The one thing that usually downrates the F-35 the most is its huge price tag. The super complex engine of the F-35B, one of the main reasons why the project got so expensive Sprey is a former aircraft designer and defense analyst, he uses – among other things – the small-wing argument to explain that “the F-35 is a lemon”. One of the most aggressive critics is named Pierre Sprey. ![]() The shape of the body, rather than the wings (which it didn’t have) gave it the lift to fly, which makes the small wing area of the F-35 a number that does not really matter (but big wings can still improve the lift). It had its first flight in 1969 and was basically only a fuselage with an engine. But what they seem to underestimate is that actually, the body of the fighter increases the lift a lot, which was tested with the Martin Marietta (now a part of Lockheed Martin) X-24A. The critics say that small wings give the F-35 bad lift because the wing area is crucial for an aircraft to achieve a good lift. What many critics complain about with the F-35 is that it has too small wings (in order to be stored compactly on an aircraft carrier), which gives the aircraft little lift. Without enough lift, the airplane will simply fall to the ground, or it can use extra engine power to keep it flying, however, this decreases both the fuel efficiency and the range of the aircraft. One of the main features of an airplane is obviously lift. It required thousands of engineers and a huge budget to be built.Ī Canadian documentary about the F-35 buying process: To design that new engine and fit it into an already super advanced aircraft was a tricky task. But the problems started to pile up when they started to work on the engine for the F-35B which is supposed to be able to take off and land vertically, to be used on aircraft carriers. The idea behind that strategy was economies of scale – if they produce many of the same things it would be kind of like a mass production, which would massively lower the unit cost. That idea was to use a single airframe for the F-35A, F-35B, and F-35C, which will all be used in different parts of the US military – among others the Marines and the Navy. But it was also built with a special idea in mind. It features the generation five characteristics such as top modern weapons, stealth, and super advanced avionics. The F-35 was an entirely new idea of building an airplane. First of all, we will explain what the idea of the F-35 really is and why it has gotten so tremendously expensive. ![]() ![]() Thank you, my friend LTC Stephan Porter for mentioning me.įYI COL Mikel J.
