This is a modification of The Mirage Factory's F4U-7 (French Navy version), into the earlier, and almost identical (albiet modified), F4U-5 version as used by the Honduran Air Force in the 1950s and 60s. TMFs original -7 readme is included. This is an SF2 revamp of the version I uploaded a few years ago.
This mod makes use of the latest patch level tweeks for randomization of aircraft serial/ID numbers. So, make sure you're at least at June 2011 or above level. Included are a new SF2-style hangar screen, some weapons, engine sound and a pilot figure. A Userlist is included, even though this is a "Nationalized" version. The WW2-era bombs are NOT included; you can find them in the GunnyPak, or edit the loadout ini to use stock 3rdWire ones, if you have SF2:Is Expansion Pak 1.
This is a COMPLETE aircraft, with almost all the trimmings, ready to unzip and fly away. Many tweeks have been performed on this, mostly by Column5 to the FlightModel. Some data ini mods by me (duplicating the HVAR stations) allow for wingfold and the ordanance to "stay put" the pylons. Canopy & wingfold is activated by manual animation keys; use Shift/0 for the canopy, Shift/9 for wingfold. Obviously, the FAH dosen't have carriers, but research indicated that the wingfold was never disabled. As always, all the external lighting has been updated to be historically/mechanically correct.
As always, =READ= the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs/requires/should have, to make it a LOT easier to install. Also, please review the Legal disclaimers at the bottom - some changes have been implimented.
Special thanks to TMF, and Sony Tuckson in particular for permission to include all the bits and pieces. Many Thanks man!

In December 1959, a meeting was held at the Pleasant Valley Grange to discuss the organization of a Fire Company for Bullskin Township. The first recorded meeting was in January 1960 at the Bullskin Elementary School. The Bullskin Township Volunteer Fire Company and Relief Association charter was approved in June 1960. It wasn't long until the group held its first fundraiser, a sausage and buckwheat cake supper. Shortly after that, a used 1950 Dodge fuel tanker was purchased and converted into a water tanker for fire fighting.
Since then there have been many suppers, hoagie sales, bingos, raffles, fairs, and music nights that have been graciously supported by our township residents. These efforts have made it possible for the acquisition of pumpers, tankers, brush and rescue trucks, as well as a mini-pumper and a boat.
The Ladies Auxiliary was chartered in 1961. These ladies serve an important role in assisting the Fire Company with fundraising, helping hands, and moral support.
The Fire Company is proud to recognize they now have the fourth generation of fire fighters and rescue personnel. They strive to save lives and property for the citizens of Bullskin Township and lend a hand to the neighboring communities as well.

Renovation & conversion
Fernando Olba Rallo studied Architecture at the Polytechnic University of Valencia, completing his degree in 1987, and received his Master of Architecture from the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, in 1993.
From 1990 to 1994 he lived in Los Angeles, CA, where he was a teacher assistant at the USC School of Architecture. He collaborated with prof. Panos Koulermos in his project for a Conference Center at the University of Crete and as assistant in the monograph that was published by Academy Editions about prof. Koulermos in 1994. In 1993 he worked for Anshen & Allen LA, in his Project for the new Panorama City Hospital. In 1994, Fernando Olba was awarded the first prize in the Europan 3 international competition with a project of requalification of more than 80,000 m² in the city of Ourense, Spain, which provided him the opportunity to return to Spain. In July of 1999 Fernando was selected as Design Director at Santiago Calatrava´s office in Valencia with whom he collaborated until November of 2000 coordinating all his projects in Spain.
Fernando has taught and lectured at the Schools of Architecture of Valencia and Venice, the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, the Villa Olmo in Como, the Instituto Galego da Vivenda e Solo in Santiago de Compostela, the Nederlands Architectuurinstituut (Nai) in Rotterdam, and the International Conference Center in Geneva.

I find it surprising that any website would insist that its visitors use it in a certain way, let alone codify rules in the form of a usage policy.
Leading the pack for usage policies is Etsy, that has a page called Dos and Don'ts, which needs 10,292 words to tell you how it wants its website used. Good luck!


Did you know that Persona 4: Dancing All Night was finally released in my part of the world this weekend? Step, step, spin!
Yet, ever your dutiful servant, my dear discerning reader, here I am taking a break from dance practice to provide you with the latest in games criticism.
I mean, it's This Week In Videogame Blogging!
Earlier this week, Kill Screen, one of the pioneers of crowd-funded games writing, launched a new Kickstarter to bring back their print magazine. On Twitter, talk among games writers turned to the site's poor rates and the question of whether or not fair compensation had been factored into the budgeting for this new project. The conversation inspired a crowd-sourced spreadsheet of games writing outlets and their respective rates, which beautifully complements our own recently published list of contacts for new writers.
This is how our world ends, with advertisers paying tiny fractions of cents for people to visit stories no one wants to read, written by soul-crushed drones getting paid fractions of fractions of cents for their trouble. Eventually, one of those fractions will shrink so small that is ceases to exist. That is the heat death of the written word.
For more information on the subject of bad media practices, consider Anne Theriault's recent article on the ethics of mining Twitter for private stories. If you want to learn more about the pressures of unsustainable piecework, you may be interested in Kathi Schönfelder's German writeup of CHESTO – At the Checkout.
At some point a developer should just admit that, as unfashionable and hackneyed as it is, they want attractive female characters in a game because they want their game to have attractive female characters in it. This admission would not bring the end of civilisation, it would not cause frogs to rain from the sky; it would just be honest.
Instead, we see developers choose to cook up these asinine justifications within the game, because they'd rather shred what little internal logic their game had than admit that an attractive female character was put into the game because they wanted one there.
On the flipside of things, Brian Cebulski provides us with a detailed writeup of (certain mainstream) videogames' bonds with Hollywood masculinity.
On a more positive note, Riley MacLeod gives us a brief look at Naomi Clark's Consentacle, Jake Muncy writes about the expressive power of Nina Freeman's Cibele and Simone de Rochefort talks about Assassin's Creed: Syndicate's portrayal of Evie Frye on the recently launched Remeshed.
On the German side of things, Rae Grimm looks at how the game industry is slowly beginning to cater to teenage girls, while Ally Auner chastises Fallout: Shelter for its gender stereotypes.
With Fallout 4 nearly upon us, Gamasutra's Alex Wawro takes a look at the development history of the series.
"One of the biggest, and most visual bugs, was the car trunk bug," says Urquhart, relating a Pratchett-esque tale of a trunk run amok.
Speaking of history, here is David Craddock interviewing a ROM hacker known as infidelity about their craft.
More interviews you say? Leigh Alexander recently spoke to Kitty Horrorshow, Tobias Unterhuber of Paidia talked to The Fullbright Company's Karla Zimonja and Latoya Peterson interviewed rather a lot of people to look at some of the reasons why women make games (video).
Meanwhile, Vic Bassey talks about the development of Shelter 2, and Samantha Kalman and Liz England discuss The Beginner's Guide.
Writing about the final episode of Life is Strange, Ayla Arthur criticizes the game's callous treatment of its queer characters (Content Warning: discussion of suicide). On Indie Haven, Simon Rankin writes about playing through the game together with a friend and how their relationship mirrors the central friendship of Max and Chloe.
Michael Lutz writes about his problems with Undertale and how it communicates its philosophy to players. Spoilers aplenty in the full article.
my biggest criticism of Undertale is that for a good portion of it to make sense you have to do the thing the game expressly does not want you to do; the implied player of the best ending just accepts things on blind faith and never questions or investigates the metaphysics of it all.
Kate Cox has written an extensive post about music in Dragon Age: Inquisition and how it is used to emphasize story points.
Naomi Alderman argues that games don't have to teach us things to be worthwhile.
Here's Leigh Alexander, again, this time talking about Twitch's Bob Ross marathon.
Problem Machine looked at some of the issues with dialogue systems in a short post on talking simulators.
On Video Game Tourism, Eron Rauch is now at part seven of his exhaustive series on the MOBA genre, this time addressing how issues of spectacle affect professional play.
History Respawned is joined by Jeffrey Wasserstrom to discuss the Boxer uprising in connection to Bioshock Infinite (video).

My school has been very lucky to host over 24 live author visits since 2011, and almost as many Skype visits. J & P Voelkel have visited our school three times and skyped twice. I adore them and their energy, and they really put on a show for the students with lots of props and audience participation. They came to New Orleans on this last visit in March because book four in their series, Jaguar Stones, that was recently published had some important scenes set in our city. Just the other day, I received this wonderful card thanking us for opening our doors to them. Actually, I should be the one doing the thanking as they traveled so far to be with the students at Patrick Taylor for just a couple of hours.
Jon and Pamela, you are our rock stars. Thanks for visiting us for a third time. The students and teachers were blown away and had the most marvelous time during this last visit. You are welcome back any time.

The Fix Analysis
Analysis Interpretation of the news based on evidence, including data, as well as anticipating how events might unfold based on past events
6 times Trump has sided with a foreign country over the U.S. government
By Aaron Blake
Senior political reporter, writing for The Fix
On Thursday, President Trump accused Democrats of acting in bad faith in the government-shutdown debate, saying they're less "honorable" than China.
"I find China, frankly, in many ways, to be far more honorable than Cryin' Chuck [Schumer] and Nancy [Pelosi]," Trump said, referring to the Senate minority leader and the House speaker, respectively. "China is actually much easier to deal with than the opposition party."
This is a stunning comment, given that Trump has accused China of currency manipulation, interference in the 2018 midterm election, deliberately harming U.S. farmers and military overreach in the South China Sea.
But it was especially stunning because it's a U.S. president effectively favorably comparing a foreign country — one that even he has regarded as hostile — to members of his own government. Trump's point was narrowly about being "honorable," but that's still an extraordinary statement. And in American politics, there's an age-old protocol that says politics is supposed to stop at the water's edge.
All that said, it's hardly the first time this has happened. Trump has made a habit of siding with foreign powers over the U.S. government when it has suited him. Here's a recap.
Putin is a stronger leader than Obama
During the 2016 presidential campaign, Trump caused a stir by saying he thought that Russian President Vladimir Putin was a stronger leader than President Barack Obama.
"I think he has been a lot stronger than our leader — that I can tell you," Trump said.
He clarified that he was talking only about strength and wasn't "endorsing" Putin: " 'Strong' doesn't mean 'good.' Putin is a strong leader, absolutely. I could name many strong leaders. I could name very many very weak leaders. But he is a strong leader. Now, I don't say that in a good way or a bad way. I say it as a fact."
But as with China and honor, he was chopping down Democrats on a very important characteristic (one that Trump values highly!) while building up an often-hostile foreign country.
Believing Putin over his intelligence community
Trump has made it abundantly clear that he harbors doubts about the U.S. intelligence community's conclusion that Russia interfered in the 2016 U.S. campaign and that it did so to help him. Occasionally, he has suggested that he believes Putin's denials rather than U.S. intelligence.
"Every time he sees me, he says, 'I didn't do that,' " Trump said. "And I believe — I really believe that when he tells me that, he means it. . . . I think he is very insulted by it."
Trump added later: "I believe that he feels that he and Russia did not meddle in the election."
Trump then clarified, "As to whether I believe it or not, I am with our agencies, especially as currently constituted with the leadership." But this is trying to have it both ways. The intelligence community says that not only did Russia interfere, but that Putin ordered it. If Trump believes Putin's denials, he can't also believe the intelligence community.
Doubting the intel community (again) on Saudi Arabia and Khashoggi
Trump has also publicly doubted another of his own intelligence community's high-profile findings in the service of siding with another foreign country: Saudi Arabia.
After the intelligence community concluded that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered the killing of Washington Post contributing columnist Jamal Khashoggi, Trump publicly cast doubt not just on the crown prince's involvement but even his knowledge of the death.
"Our intelligence agencies continue to assess all information, but it could very well be that the crown prince had knowledge of this tragic event — maybe he did and maybe he didn't!" Trump said.
Trump added: "I hate the coverup. And I will tell you this: The crown prince hates it more than I do. And they have vehemently deny it."
Trump used this doubt-casting to argue that there should be little retaliation for the Saudis killing Khashoggi — something for which even Senate Republicans unanimously rebuked him.
The Soviet Union was right to invade Afghanistan
In the course of a bizarre history lesson Trump offered recently about the Soviet Union's war in Afghanistan in the 1980s, he concluded that the Soviets were right to have invaded.
"The reason Russia was in Afghanistan was because terrorists were going into Russia," Trump said, falsely. "They were right to be there. The problem is, it was a tough fight."
But siding with the Soviets' decision to be in Afghanistan inherently means siding against the Reagan administration and the United States. That's because the United States aided opposition forces in the name of beating back communism in what became a proxy fight in the Cold War.
Taking Turkey's advice over the military's on Syria withdrawal
When Trump surprised the world by announcing an immediate withdrawal from Syria a month ago, he did so after a call with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and despite almost universal opposition from U.S. military leaders and his own national security team. He even reportedly surprised Erdogan with his eagerness to comply with the Turkish leader's advice.
As The Post's Karen DeYoung, Missy Ryan, Josh Dawsey and Greg Jaffe reported:
The Islamic State, according to Trump himself, had been defeated, Erdogan said. Turkey's military was strong and could take on any remaining militant pockets. Why did some 2,000 U.S. troops still need to be there?
"You know what? It's yours," Trump said of Syria. "I'm leaving."
Bloomberg News reported that "Trump shocked even those in his inner circle by yielding to a suggestion from Erdogan to reverse the Pentagon's Syrian strategy."
Defense Secretary Jim Mattis soon resigned over the matter, as did Brett McGurk, the U.S. envoy in the fight against the Islamic State (also known as ISIS). Yet in recent days, Trump and his administration have signaled a far-less-immediate withdrawal — even saying it won't happen until the Islamic State is "gone."

Hercules, Ghost Rider, Black Widow, Darkstar, and Angel re-unite with Marvel's fearless frozen fighter setting ICEMAN on an all-new path.

But even if they find the chemical that will save their dying race…can they escape the revenge of its creators? It has been foretold that of the seven who left Earth, only six will return—and Medusa is already dying. Who will the Royals lose?
Artist Javier Rodriguez joins Al Ewing as they introduce an ancient alien race known as the Progenitors with connections to both the Inhumans and their creators the Kree as Ewing tells CBR.
SPIRITS OF VENGEANCE #1 (of 5): WAR AT THE GATES OF HELL Part 1
Written by VICTOR GISCHLER
Penciled DAVID BALDEON
Cover by DAN MORA
A dead angel. A silver bullet. A kept promise. For ages, the war between Heaven and Hell raged in the unseen corners of society, both sides in delicate balance that could topple if the right weapons were in the wrong hands… When an undercover angel is murdered, Johnny Blaze, the Ghost Rider, must find the killers and punish them…But this time he won't do it alone: A deadly team must rise from the darkest depths of the Marvel Universe to form an unholy alliance – HELLSTORM! SATANA! BLADE! They are the SPIRITS OF VENGEANCE!
A title that is definitely tapping into the 90's comics fan nostalgia as writer Victor Gischler admits in an interview with Nerdist. It was assumed that all titles announced for Marvel Legacy were ongoing series, but the solicitation indicates a 5 part series suggesting that Spirits of Vengeance may actually be a 5-issue limited series. Perhaps if it does well in sales, the title could be bumped up to a regular ongoing series.
THE MIGHTY THOR #700: DEATH OF THE MIGHTY THOR Part 1
Written by JASON AARON
Penciled by RUSSELL DAUTERMAN, WALTER SIMONSON, OLIVIER COIPEL, CHRIS BURNHAM, JAMES HARREN, AND MORE.
Wraparound Cover by RUSSELL DAUTERMAN
The final judgement comes as the Mangog arrives! The War Thor will meet the beast head on. But even the bloodthirst of this Ultimate Thor may pale in comparison to the might of the Mangog! The battle rages as Jane's cancer takes a turn for the worse, and she might not have to wait for the final judgment at all. The clock is ticking, and no hammer can save her this time. It's the beginning of the end that will lead to the most dramatic return in the Marvel Universe!
Jason Aaron remains coy on the future of Jane Foster's tenure as the Mighty Thor in an interview with Nerdist. With a jam-packed issue featuring some of the best artists in the business including legendary Thor artist Walt Simonson, Aaron & company are pulling out all the stops with Thor #700.
A breakdown of the Thor title legacy numbering. I correctly surmised in an article months ago that Thor would in fact be reaching its 700th issue just in time for upcoming film. I included the .1 issue for the 2011 Mighty Thor comic so my calculations are only off by 1 issue, but I'll give myself a pat on the back anyway!
U.S.AVENGERS #11: CANNONBALL RUN Part 1
Penciled by PACO DIAZ
Cover by DAVID NAKAYAMA
The U.S. Avengers have a new mission—to find their missing teammate! Squirrel Girl, Red Hulk, Iron Patriot, and more head into outer space to find Cannonball! The search leads them to strangest planet of all…Glenbrook, U.S.A.! Home — and fiefdom — of Ritchie Redwood, America's best loved teen!

That U.S.Avengers story sounds ridiculous and I am completely on board for it.

This is possibly the greatest comment in Beat commenting history.

What Roto13 said. Also, that Champions reunion has so much potential for snark, drama, and flirtation, so really looking forward to that one too.

MY CONDITION WORKS SIMILARLY ALONGSIDE VGA / PSA STANDARDS - I TRY TO DEMONSTRATE A RANGE FOR ALL LISTINGS, AS COLLECTORS SEE THINGS DIFFERENTLY FROM ONE ANOTHER, WE DO OUR BEST TO DESCRIBE ITEMS ACCURATELY, AND PROVIDE INDIVIDUAL PHOTOGRAPHS FOR ALL LISTINGS, SO PLEASE GO OFF THE 1080P PHOTOGRAPHS TAKEN. A gem mint card is a flawlessly pristine packet pulled, no wear at all, in my opinion the best a card or game can possible be. A mint condition card is an amazing almost pack fresh pulled card, but may be off center slightly, have 1-6 mm's of faint white edge wear, around corners or the sides of a card. It may also contain hairline scratches which are usually machine induced from wizards of the coast or Nintendo themselves. A mint card is always border-lying gem mint-mint, and can swing either way when being grading. Near MINT 8.4-6.5/10. A near mint card or game is still an immensely exceptional item. It is almost perfect, but must contain a minor flaw which is stopping it from being a high gem mint piece. Near mint cards usually may have one of the following: between 1-12mm's of back edge wear, feathered surface scratches, light playbility, may contain minor light saturation, inking, minor bends, or tears. Still an awesome condition card, these will look flawless in a binder sleeved, and you will not be able to see the flaws from afar.
These cards will have 2 or more of the following flaws: between 1-32mm's of back edge wear, surface scratches, light playbility, may contain minor light saturation, inking, minor bends, tears, marks, scuffs. As the word suggested, this is heavily played in a school yard, or treated badly by children.
It would contain immense edge wear, massive bends, massive tears, massive flaws like light saturation, inking, spills, stains, marks, scuffs. The list goes on, if it has 3-4 of the major flaws i mention above it usually falls into played condition. Estimated time of arrival depends on the location, generally 2-3 weeks for international buyers.
What is the average turn around time for deliveries? You have the option for EMS express which is 2-6 days on average. E IF YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND, OR FIND THE ITEM CHEAPER ELSEWHERE, YOU WILL NOT BE COVERED.

It's Taco Tuesday y'all!! You remember the good ol' days, right? When it was actually a weekly event? Yeah, me too. Vaguely. Do you miss it? Because I do! Truth be told, I've had a hard time finding new taco recipes that weren't very similar to the many I've already made. Pinterest, you have failed me. I did, however come across a few newbs recently, so that bought us a few more Taco Tuesday posts coming up. This one seems to fit in with my ever-present liking of Thai flavors. I told J the other day, "Apparently I really like Thai flavors…" as I listed the dishes I've made recently with the word "Thai" in the title. But hey, I like what I like. There are worse things, right?
I made a few changes to the recipe I found – mainly the amounts for the sauce and the toppings – and I'm really pleased with the turnout. Make sure not to overcook the chicken. Dry chicken is never a good thing. Never, ever, ever.
Speaking of the variation in toppings…have you ever used broccoli slaw? I don't think I ever have before, but I saw it at the grocery store and I thought it just looked like a good alternative to cole slaw for a taco topping. And when you mix it with a little rice wine vinegar…well, then it's definitely a winner! It has a nice flavor and crunch to it that is a nice contrast to the soft tortilla, chicken and deelicious peanut sauce. I increased the amounts of liquid in the peanut sauce because it just wasn't as thin as I wanted it with the original amounts. But the flavor was insanely good.
J always thinks it sounds weird to put peanut butter in a sauce or regular food or whatnot (he loves peanut butter though, in general), but he was a fan of this sauce for sure.
And as an aside, the blog I found this on – Mountain Mama Cooks – does a Taco Tuesday event as well. I'm going to have to go back and peruse her archives for some new recipes!
Combine the brown sugar, rice wine vinegar, tamari, fish sauce, sambal oelek, sriracha, ginger and garlic in a small bowl.Stir to combine. Place the chicken in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and cover with the marinade. Turn to coat, cover and refrigerate overnight.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Remove the chicken from the marinade and lace on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Don't overcook or it will be dry! Remove from oven and let cool slightly on a cutting board before cutting into bite-size pieces.
Combine the broccoli slaw and rice wine vinegar in a medium bowl and refrigerate to let the vinegar absorb into the slaw while the chicken is cooking.
Meanwhile, whisk together all of the ingredients for the peanut sauce, and set aside until ready to use.
To assemble tacos, warm your tortillas and place a couple of spoonfuls of chicken in the center. Top with broccoli slaw and peanut sauce.
Sorry. Shouted a bit there.
OR you could begin going out to eat tacos, and posting about your local area….
Do. I'll hold you to it.
