The page protectors that are compatible with this album are:
Creative Imaginations 12 x 12
Imaginisce 12 x 12
I have these albums in every single color that they come in. I just love them. I think that they look very classy and I think that they add to the decor in my living room, so I have no problem with leaving them out on my coffee table.
Since they are left out, that means that my kids flip through them, a lot. They have held up extremely well. I have had them for more than 2 years and there isn't the slightest sign of age. Love them.
On the recommendations from previous reviews, I ordered two of these dark brown albums....boy...was I pleased when I opened the package. Just like others had stated, they look very classy with the topstitching and I was impressed that they come with 20 protectors for under $22.00......awesome! I plan to order them in the black and red, too.
I was elated the moment I took it from its box. The stiching was perfect, and the closure was more than I imagined. The twenty pages of top loading protector sheets have been a blessing to work with. Its warm chocolate brown skin is soft to both the eyes and the hands. What more can I say...its perfect.
This album is very strong and durable. It has a strong binding and looks a lot more expensive than it is! I highly recommend it.

Martha Roby will serve another term in congress.
Voters in America's second congressional district reelected Roby to the United States House of Representatives.
Roby, 36,was challenged by Therese Ford, a Democratic attorney and teacher in Montgomery.
She stopped by the Montgomery County Republican Headquarters Tuesday night to thank her supporters for their vote of confidence.
The republicans have maintained control of the house, and Roby said they will have to continue working on bipartisanship.
"We've got real problems in the White House thinking they have legislative powers that they don't. I think we are going to have to continue to play offense in the house. That's the beauty of this government. Think of all the things that could have happened in the past two years that didn't because we held the majority in the house," said Roby.
The democrats have also retained control of the senate.

TechOne 40" Tempo 3D EPP @ RCPlaneBuilder.com
I have been waiting for this one and its finally here! This is the new TechOne 40" Tempo 3D EPP RC Plane.. If you are interested in it's younger sibling, the Mini Tempo 3D I have a thread for it as well. TechOne Mini Tempo 3D EPP Thread
I would like to use this thread as a build thread with detailed pictures as well as flying videos and to answer any questions anyone might have.
40" Tempo 3D EPP w/ Tiger AT2216 motor & Prop on RCPlaneBuilder.com
The Tempo 3D EPP plane with the powerful Tiger AT2216 motor ($40 retail value motor) is one of the latest 3D plane offerings from TechOne. It features a high level of build completion at the factory and (I think) an awesome design with fully printed graphics. The EPP construction makes it durable, so it's well suited for someone just learning 3D flying and the experienced 3D pilot a like.
The Tempo 3D EPP has a rigid, symmetrical airfoil that is well suited for outdoors and will fly in winds that leave smaller 3D planes grounded. The horizontal and vertical fuselage uses 20mm (3/4") EPP with embedded carbon fiber. This makes for a rigid design with out the need for extensive carbon fiber bracing.
Manufacture Specifications:
The quality looks great on this kit and with the high level of completion it builds really quickly.
Thanks for following!
ImagesView all Images in thread
The Tempo 3D is 90% complete at the factory, so the build is really quite easy. You also get full color instructions that are well written with the kit. I took some pictures of my build and included some tips that I've picked up over the years and attached them as well.
I think you'd be hard pressed to find a plane kit that builds any easier than these do.
ImagesView all Images in thread
Flight videos:
This video has clips of me using both the 1350mAh Pro-PACkS and some old 1800mAh batteries. I'm using the milder 1060HD prop. Video is shacky, I need to get a better quality video camera. It's best viewd in HD.
Looks great! How big are the wheels? I may pick one of these up from you at some time in the future. The landing gear needs to be able to handle gravel though.
The wheels are 2", you might need to go to a larger wheel for gravel. This plane does look really good! I can't wait to start the build on it so my Mini Tempo can have a companion.
Is the axle wide enough for a 3" wheel?
How fast is this plane?
Is the wing removable?
I've been flying the heck out of the Breeze Pro, but I may have to rename it the "Break Pro." Last night I made a gentle landing and the firewall tore off. I glued it back on and went to fly it a few minutes ago. About ten seconds in I pulled a half throttle loop and the external bracing pulled out of the wing on one side. My hot glue gun should be warmed up so I'm going to go glue the bracing back on and try again
Great plane but a little delicate to be outside.
I haven't flown this one yet, but I was honestly more concerned with the Mini Tempo having a high wing loading and it actually will fly quite slow, and fast when you want it too. So judging by that, I imagine this one will fly slow by outdoor plane standards. I'm really looking forward to it, the Mini Tempo is a real treat to fly. The wing is not removable on the Tempo.
I like the Mini-Tempo too, except for the indoor landing gear. I've got a few feet of grass I can belly land in, but I don't always hit it, even with the Breeze Pro. I haven't damaged the EPP Sukhoi with gravel belly landings yet, but it seems like it's just a matter of time. The Mini-Tempo is too nice for that kind of abuse.
Hey All, I completed assembly last week and have now have flown the Tempo a handful of times. I'll try to get more build pics and info up soon.
I rushed in a maiden flight before work a couple of days back and here's the video. It was fairly windy and I didn't take the time to set up the plane properly. Let's just say I did some durability testing as well and it passed.
I don't know how many times I've told myself not to rush a maiden flight.
I've now had a chance to fly it over the last couple of evenings in somewhat calm winds. All my other flights have been in pretty strong wind. Unfortunately I didn't get any video from the last couple of evenings.
My Setup:
With this one I wanted to try building with the heaviest servos for the spec to make sure it still balanced ok. I also built per the instrutions and didn't go out of my way to save weight.
If someone wanted to build this with lighter servos, the 1050mAh batteries and other minor weight saving measures they could have a real floater. It's still a gentle flying plane at the 23.5 oz though.
I really like the construction of these planes! The thick EPP vertical and horzontal fuse along with the embeded carbon fiber and airfoiled wing make for a really rigid airframe. I feel really connected to the plane when I fly it.
The Tempo has a nice flight envelope. It flies relatively slow but will pickup speed for dramatic tumbles, etc. It doesn't have any bad stall tendencies. You will need to keep some throttle on but I've found that's typical for a plane of this size/weight.
It has an insane roll rate! I setup dual rates because it's almost to fast for my thumbs otherwise.
Spins, tumbles, blenders, parachutes and snap rolls are dramatic. I really have fun with them. Harriers have very little wing rock and it does really nice elevators.
It took me a while to get used to hovering this plane. At first I attributed it to the shorter fuse, but last night I discovered I was pulsing the throttle to high and feeding in to much controls causing it to over correct. I've since smoothed it out.
As mine is equipped, there is some slight roll coupling to the landing gear in knife edge. It's not enough that I would normally mix it out. But for fun I mixed it and 4%-5% aileron to rudder took care of it. I imagine some extra light wheels would take care of it, but it is really minor to me.
The other thing I have tried is swapping out the 10x4.7 included prop with an 11x5.5E prop. I have noticed on similar sized planes this helps get more air over the control surfaces in slow/stalled flight. The 10" prop wasn't bad, but the 11" did improve it. It also has crazy pull with the 11" I haven't measured the amps yet with the 11" prop, but I imagine you don't want to go WOT for to long with it.
I was honestly concerned with durability of this plane. Typical EPP planes are much more flexible, so I figure this one might not take the beating that I was used to, but I was wrong. I slammed it into the ground once pretty hard. I had it on low rates and didn't quite complete a rolling loop. I thought for sure it was going to be broken up pretty bad. The only damage was the little pilot broke loose, the motor mount broke loose on top, and one of the aileron servo arms broke (the plastic, not the fiberglass extension). These were quick fixes with some glue and a new arm. I've since had minor crashes with zero damage.
I will try to get some additional video up soon.
hi Kevin i am going to order one of the 40 in tempos how is the tail twist? and how does the landing gear work out in grass.... thanks
Successful grass take offs & landings.
Ok, I went down to the park and did several take offs and landings on the grass. It wasn't super long grass, but it wasn't freshly cut either. I just held some up elevator to keep the nose up. Of course with the power it could get off the ground in a few feet, but I held it out a few times to 15-20 feet or so.
It was windy so I didn't actually fly it to much, but I did do some crazy rollers into the wind and couldn't see any tail twist.
Wow, that roll rate really is impressive? There was a point where it looked like you were hovering it a little nose up in the wind and rolling at the same time. Are you that fast on the sticks or are the rolls super axial?
It's certainly fast - could be too much for my spot. I need to get better before trying that one.

The 47-metre-high dryer tower has had its dryer and
calandrias (heat exchangers) installed, a spokesman for
Oceania Dairy said.
The $210 million plant is being built beside State Highway 1
just north of the Waitaki River for the Chinese company Inner
Mongolia Yili Industrial Group. In April last year, the group
bought the 38ha site and resource consents from Oceania
''The generating bank and final boiler components have
arrived in New Zealand and are being completed in Timaru
prior to delivery to the Glenavy site in late March,'' the
spokesman said.
The tower, with huge cranes alongside it, was the most
visible sign of progress, he said. But other buildings such
as offices, the services building and drystore were also well
on the way.
The water treatment and refrigeration contracts within the
services building had started and transformers were about to
be put in. Alpine Energy was on schedule with the electricity
supplies. With underground services on the site finished,
internal access roads were next.
''Roading has commenced at the drystore entranceway from
Cooneys Rd and the central car park, and this will continue
across the site in co-ordination with access requirements of
contractors completing other site works,'' the spokesman
Recruitment of staff was also taking place.
''We have filled 31 positions to date and have been really
pleased with the level of interest in our roles,'' Oceania
Dairy chief executive Aidan Johnstone said.
Forty more position were expected to be allocated in the next
five months, leading up to a permanent staff of 70 when the
factory was operating at full capacity.
The plant would then be capable of turning 300 million litres
of milk a year into 47,000 tonnes of milk powder.
It was on target to start accepting milk in August.

MotoGP 3
When it comes to superbike racing on PS2, there's only one franchise worth looking at: this one. The games have grown steadily better with each version, and this one is really quite super.
Initially, it's difficult to tell the differences between this and GP2. It still looks fabulousit's blindingly quick and uncannily stylish. And, if it's at all possible, the replays now look more impressive than ever, with some particularly spectacular camera wobbles and blur effects. They look shockingly realistic.
On further investigation, the biggest improvement (for me, anyway) is that Namco absolutely nailed it with the controls this time. In the past I'd struggled a little with the overly realistic throttle and brake response times, and found the lurching nature of bike racing to be quite unwieldy. With GP3, this has miraculously been cured, and when you get into a groove with the controls, it can get exciting as you lean into turns and scream out of a corner having taken the perfect racing line. In GP2, I'd often get left behind by the pack, but now, things feel much more competitive. I don't want to say it's "easier"maybe just that it's more game-like than sim-like. It's a shame it doesn't offer much more than your typical racing game, though. With the new breed of racers out there now, this is a tad formulaic. If it were a car racer, I'd give it a much harder time.
Ultimately, if bikes are your thing, this is "the one." If you just love racing, you may want more.

In case the parents or the legal guardian, as applicable, cannot or are unwilling to give this authorization, a judicial authorization is required. People who intend to travel to Brazil with children must consult with the Brazilian consulate before traveling for more information. One child 12 years old or younger stays free when occupying the parent or guardian's room, using existing bedding.

Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
Loss of Lives in Clinical Trials...
Clinical-Style Validation, Regulation, and Quality Control...
Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
Roche today announced the dissolution of its Applied Science Business Area, which is part of the firm's Diagnostics Division. This restructuring move will affect approximately 110 positions in Penzberg, Germany, and another 60 in Branford, CT, the company said.
The firm's Applied Science portfolio will be integrated within its other diagnostics business areas. In a statement, Roche said the changes are meant to "streamline decision-making and enhance technology flow from research use to the clinical setting."
Additionally, Roche has ended of its quest to develop a nanopore-based sequencing platform in partnership with IBM. The company cites technical risks.
"Following assessment of its sequencing R&D portfolio, Roche has decided to return the ISFET project for the development of a semiconductor-based sequencing system to DNA Electronics," the company said. "Roche believes that it will be unable to disrupt the market with the product at launch."
In a statement, Roche added that it "remains committed to the life-science business."

BBC Review
A truly slick and accomplished debut.
Lucy Davies 2008
Oh, this album has all the ingredients of something many would love to hate: it's by an X Factor winner and it's in the style of Harry Connick Jr, Michael Buble, and all those Irish man-bands' tributes to Frank, Tony etc.
It's also taken over a year since Leon's first single to come up with, so many will be saying ''Leon who?''.
It's a brave move in the openly cynical world of the nationwide talent contest to expect those sitting on the sofa to remember one year's winner to the next, but it's paid off.
Looking rather older and sporting suspiciously photoshopped cheekbone chisels, the cheeky chappy's voice is also surprisingly mature and smooth as a baby's... He's surrounded by equally slick orchestration, which is light of touch and spaciously balanced.
Incredibly, given that most tracks are ballads, underpinned by piano with soaring violins, the album neatly avoids overblown territory, which must be credited to Jackson's vocal control, never over-singing.
Opener and first single Don't Call This Love is complete with chimes and full of force, though it's not certain that it's charismatic enough to knock Peter Kay's Winner's song off the top spot.
Creative is a sassy, rumba-rhythmed number where Leon soars above, hinting at his prowess in the boudoir, this is easily the most memorable original track here.
While the lyrics for Star Gazing may be rather saccharine - rhyming ''star gazing'' with ''amazing'', is a bit too much to take - the pace and structure, (along with all-important key change) makes it pretty special - which can be said about all the tracks here.
The production throughout is flawless, and it's almost impossible to find fault. The only gripe worth making is that it would be good to hear something more pared-down, in contrast to the strings, piano, off-beat drums formula which pervade the entire record.
A truly slick and accomplished debut.

I have an application that I replaced the windows shell with so that windows would boot directly into the app instead of loading the desktop. After doing some testing I found that windows doesn't boot directly into the app when the power is cut. It will start and bring you to a blank screen and stay like that, then to do anything I have to invoke the Task Manager. Is there a way to work around this so that when the power returns to the computer windows will boot directly into the app?
To replace the shell I went into RegEdit and changed explorer.exe with the file path and name of my application.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Nov 01st, 2004
Running Time: 103
Director: Ray Anderson
Company: Hustler Video
Cast: Pui, Bob Terminator, Ricardo Bell, Gei, Ning, Anna (I), Guy DiSilva
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
This ought to be a featured series in your Asian section.
Some minor, silly acting aside, Asian Fever19 features solid, hardcore fucking with five completely unknown Asian broads. Judging by some of the exterior shots, it seems Ray Anderson and his crew traveled to the Far East to shoot these scenes. And the payoff is five good-looking, all natural young Asian girls all of whom are ripe for the plucking.
It doesn't hurt, either, that Anderson enlists the on-camera help of veteran male performers - Terminator, Bell and DiSilva - who know how to get these girls working for it.
Mine is a lanky cutie who gets thoroughly d.p.'d in the first scene. She moans like an anime cartoon character. And later, after Anna gives Guy DiSilva a very sensual blowjob, he puts her on her back, pushes her knees back to her ears and dives in like he plans on sampling everything from the buffet.
Two more scenes feature two guys on one girl. No more d.p.s, though.

The 2011 TEN-T Calls for Proposal Info Day will take place at the Borschette Conference Centre in Brussels on 29 June 2011. The event will present the priorities for the 2011 TEN-T Multi-Annual Call, which will focus on ERTMS (European Rail Traffic Management System), RIS (River Information Services) and MoS (Motorways of the Sea). In addition the Info Day will provide participants with practical information about how to prepare a successful proposal, as well as other background information relevant to the process.
European Commission Vice-President Siim Kallas has signed, together with the Hungarian State Secretary for Infrastructure Pál Völner, a Memorandum of Cooperation providing a framework for enhanced cooperation with the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO). The Memorandum provides the basis for stronger EU involvement with ICAO.
The agreement on Cooperation in the Regulation of Civil Aviation Safety between the European Union and the United States entered into force on 1 May 2011, which will boost safety and create opportunities for businesses. This agreement means less cumbersome technical and administrative procedures for the recognition of certificates and approvals on both sides of the Atlantic and opens the way to progressively reaching the same level of mutual trust in other areas of safety.
Vice-President of the Commission, Siim Kallas, responsible for transport advised EU Member States to defer for a limited period the removal of restrictions on the carriage of duty free liquids in hand luggage, originally due on 29 April 2011. In recent days, a growing number of Member States decided to maintain the ban on carrying duty free liquids purchased in third countries beyond this date. The Commission advice is issued in order to avoid a situation which would not have facilitated travel but rather caused confusion for passengers. The Commission will conduct a review of the situation together with Member States and consult with the United States as one of the key destinations of flights from the EU.
The European Commission has adopted a regulation on standards in the field of telematics applications for rail passenger services. These standards, known to the rail sector as "technical specifications for interoperability" (TSI) relate to the subsystem "telematics applications for passengers" (TAP) of the trans-European rail system and define how stakeholders must interact with travel-related data in the field of rail transport.
The European Commission has adopted a new regulation to facilitate pan European rail journey planning and ticketing, by forcing a standardisation of rail passenger data on fares and timetables. This means that key reservation and ticketing information will be inter-operable and can be exchanged between rail companies throughout the EU as well as ticket vendors. The Commission will in 2012 bring forward a complementary legal measure requiring rail operators to bring their IT systems and practices into line, so that the standardised data can in practice be transferred between operators. These measures lay the technical foundations to allow a new generation of European rail journey planners and ticketing systems to start to emerge on market.
European Commission Vice-President Siim Kallas, responsible for transport, said: "If we are serious about getting people onto rail, and particularly about having rail compete with air travel over middle distances then we need to offer rail passengers the seamless planning and ticketing offers that match the airlines. We want to make it as easy, in the future, to book a rail ticket from Barcelona to Brussels or Berlin to Bratislava as it is to book a corresponding flight. Making common timetabling and fare information available to operators is a significant first step, but it is just the start of a much bigger push to make pan European rail planning and ticketing a reality."
What is the current situation?
Railways have evolved with a national focus. Today this manifests itself in widely differing booking systems, based on data which is processed in different ways and is largely not interchangeable. The result, for passengers, is very limited possibilities to book rail tickets cross border (with the exception of a small number of major international direct cross border rail routes). This is unlike the situation in competing modes, eg the airline industry which has evolved serving mainly cross border routes and where the journey planning and ticketing are widely and easily available on a pan-European basis (built largely on the use of a common central reservation system Amadeus).
What are the proposals?
The new EU technical regulation adopted today - Telematics Applications for Passenger Services – will force the standardisation of data relating to timetables and fares. This is the basic data underpinning journey planning, reservation and ticketing systems, for example data relating to: what kind of train is running, when the train stops, where it stops, what kind of accommodation is available eg first and second class seats; how many unreserved seats are available, tariff structures etc. Importantly, the Regulation also legally requires operators to make data related to timetabling available in the public domain, as well as to make fare information available to agreed partners.
In 2012, the Commission will bring forward a complementing measure, to guide all railway companies and ticket vendors in adapting their IT data systems so that they are in line with EU wide standards and data can in practice be exchanged and used by all operators in different rail booking and ticketing systems throughout Europe.
Taken together these measures lay the technical foundations for a new generation of pan European rail passenger journey planners and ticketing tools to start to come on the market in the following years.
What happens next?
The Commission is in the process of assessing the need for further measures to remove barriers that are holding back the development of cross border rail and, more broadly, multi modal travel planning and ticketing.
The Commission has also recently launched (April 1st 2011) a public consultation "Towards a European Multi-Modal Journey Planner" (Consultation period: 1/04/2011 – 27/05/2011) which will also feed into this process. Click
here fore more details
The European Commission is organising in Lyons on 6 June 2011 a major Conference on Intelligent Transport in Europe where, in a key note speech European Commission Vice President Kallas, responsible for Transport, will set out in more detail proposals for next steps in this area.

Comely frontwoman Nicole Barille's breathy vocals accompany supple six-string majesties that rise and collapse in fits of intensity and then ebb away.

For Dorese Ebbert, Zelda Brodsky and Michael Calabrese, it all started with a newspaper ad offering a guaranteed one year certificate of deposit with a company called Fidelity Insured Deposits. As CBS News Correspondent Sandra Hughes reports, the incredible interest rate was the hook.
And what did 55-year-old Ebbert get?
"I ended up purchasing, unbeknownst to me, an annuity for 48 years," says Ebbert. "I had no idea."
And when would 81-year-old Brodsky see her investment mature?
"I looked at the paper and it said 2026," says Brodsky. "And I couldn't believe it."
Calabrese wrote a check for much of his retirement; almost $100,000.
And what does he think about people who prey on senior citizens?
"Well, first of all I think they're sleaze balls," he says.
And they're not alone. Dozens of other senior citizens have called the California Department of Corporations saying they too have been bamboozled by Fidelity Insured Deposits, some saying they thought they were buying from the real Fidelity Investment Company.
Court documents show the state accuses this Fidelity of running a classic bait-and-switch scheme: offer the high rate CD to get someone in the door, then sell them a long-term annuity.
"The idea of selling a variable annuity that is going to mature in 15 years is ridiculous," says William Wood of the Department of Corporations.
While the owners of Fidelity Insured Deposits wouldn't talk to CBS, in a written statement they contend "there is nothing wrongful about advertising high yields on CDs in order to target customers who might buy annuities."
In court, Fidelity proved most witnesses had signed papers clearly stating what type of investment they were getting.
Fidelity owner Janet Reiswig may find it funny but the government doesn't. It's trying to educate seniors about companies like Fidelity, which, according to the state, sold almost 1000 annuities from February until August of this year.
"They know you're not going to read a stack of papers this high," says Brodsky.
She was lucky. After the state investigation, she got her money back. Had Brodsky waited for the investment to mature, she would have been 95 years old.

Comments about 'Are you underemployed? Here's how you can improve your job prospects'
- Oldest first
- Newest first
- Most recommended
As a member of the older underemployed group, I constantly read these articles.
Unfortunately they don't really address the problem. They offer
workarounds. Until employers decide that employees are an important part of the
equation, just as important as profit, there will be no change.
So, so many times I walk into a business and see a new employee who clearly doesn't care about the job or the customer and wonder why they were hired, and why they are still working when so many good people are out of work and I come to the realization that the employer could give a darn less about quality of work. They just want to hire the younger person. The next time the same job comes open, another young person is hired, and then two months later another, and so on. The same few jobs are open time after time and still we older folks won't be hired. Think about it.

Jekyll (2007 TV Mini-Series)
Episode List
4 Aug. 2007Episode #1.1
London, 2007. Tom Jackman is the only living descendent of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. During the night Tom becomes Mr. Hyde, but Tom's fighting back. The only question is: are all the resources of 21st Century surveillance technology enough to keep a Victorian demon in check? And can he keep his wife and children safe during the 'night shift'?
11 Aug. 2007Episode #1.2
With Hyde emerging more and more unexpectedly, Jackman finds himself not knowing where he's been or what he's done. Jackman is also being deceived. His nurse Catherine is working for someone else as is a close friend. He is still being followed by the organization with the black vans, though it appears they are more interested in Mr. Hyde that in Jackman. They set up a terrifying confrontation at a local zoo that endangers Jackman's children. Jackman is not sure how, but Hyde starts to communicate with him directly for the first time. Finally, Jackman meets someone ...
18 Aug. 2007Episode #1.3
The battle of wits continues between Tom Jackman and Mr. Hyde. On the road for a week now, Jackman has taken to chaining himself up at night in order to keep Hyde from some of his excesses. The mysterious group following him continues in its attempt to kidnap him. Tom visits his old friend Paul Syme and demands answers only to learn that his employer, the Institute, existed for only one purpose: to study him. To his great surprise, his wife Claire is also there and she learns his secret and meets Mr. Hyde. When Tom awakens the next day, he again has no recollection of...
25 Aug. 2007Episode #1.4
Now back at the Institute with Tom incarcerated, Peter Syme is forced to speak to the private detective Claire had hired to follow Tom. The meeting is a revelation to Claire who learns that everyone knew of Tom's alter ego except her. The detective reveals her theory on the origins of the Institute and its true scientific purpose. In flashbacks, we learn how Tom Jackman and his wife Claire first met 7 years previously and of his early days at the Institute. Even then, there were subtle suggestions of Mr. Hyde's existence: a thumb print that isn't his, a sudden growth ...
21 Jul. 2007Episode #1.5
With his condition now stabilized courtesy of the Insitute's cure, Mr. Hyde seems to have emerged as the dominant personality. He has however retained some of Tom's memories which come back to him in a flood. His memories also flashback to 1886 Edinburgh, where we see Dr. Jekyll meeting his fiend Robert Louis Stevenson who has written a fictional tale based on his experiences. Stevenson has also correctly guessed the nature of Jekyll's secret 'potion' which is revealed to the modern day Mr. Hyde. Claire is surprised when Hyde proposes something completely unexpected.
28 Jul. 2007Hyde
With the re-emergence of Tom Jackman, he and Hyde join forces to free Claire and the children who are under guard. Tom learns the details of the project from Peter Syme who tries to justify what they have done but again, Tom is betrayed. Claire finally learns Tom's family history when she meets Tom's mother. She also learns some important information about herself. There is one final puzzle however, for Tom to resolve.

Relevance to Humans and Ecosystems
Rhinesomus triqueter, the smooth trunkfish, is a species of boxfish found on and near reefs in the Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico and subtropical parts of the western Atlantic Ocean. It is the only known member of its genus.
The names Lactophrys triqueter and Rhinesomus triqueter are synonymous. The former is accepted by the Encyclopedia of Life [1] but the World Register of Marine Species [2] and FishBase [3] recognize Rhinesomus triqueter as the valid name.
The smooth trunkfish has an angular body sheathed in plate-like scales, growing to a maximum length of 47 centimetres (19 in), though 20 cm (8 in) is a more normal size. The body is enclosed in a bony carapace and, when viewed from the front, is triangular in shape with a narrow top and wide base. The fish has a pointed snout with protuberant lips encircling a small mouth. The tail is shaped like a brush. The general background colour is dark with a pattern of small white spots, often in hexagonal groups giving a honeycomb-like appearance in the middle area of the body. The tip of the snout and the area round the pectoral fins are dark with few spots and the eyes are black. The fins are usually yellowish with a dark base and tips. They have only soft rays with no spines.[4][5]
The juveniles have dark coloured bodies covered in large yellow spots. As they get older, they develop a pale area where the honeycomb markings will later appear.[5]
The smooth trunkfish is found down to a depth of about 50 m (164 ft) on coral reefs and over sandy seabeds in the Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico and the western Atlantic Ocean. The range extends from Canada and the Gulf of Maine southwards to Brazil.[3]
The smooth trunkfish is normally solitary but sometimes moves around in small groups. It uses its protuberant lips to expel a jet of water which disturbs the sandy seabed and reveals any shallowly buried benthic invertebrates. It feeds on small molluscs, polychaete worms, acorn worms, peanut worms, small crustaceans, sponges and tunicates.[3][5]
In some regions, the smooth trunkfish is caught for human consumption.[3] It is also sometimes kept in reef aquaria. Caution needs to be used however as it produces a toxic substance, ostracitoxin, in mucous secretions from the skin. When the fish is stressed this is liberated into the water and some aquarium tanks and systems have been poisoned by this with the loss of all the other animal inhabitants.[6]

Confirmed: "The Flash" Movie's Iris West Is "Dope" Actress Kiersey Clemons
Film, Comic Books
Comics | In advance of a radio show titled "White Men in Capes," to be broadcast Tuesday, BBC News looks at diversity in comics and finds it lacking; as DC Entertainment Co-Publisher Dan DiDio says, there "doesn't seem to really be a proper representation of ethnic characters across the entire industry." He talks about DC's efforts to bring diversity to its line, and he explains why: "There's a very hungry audience, excited audience and the reason why we know that exists is because we go to the conventions and we hear from our stores and you hear the make-up of the people shopping in those stores." [BBC News]
If you read about comic books on the Internet, and I have reason to believe you do, then chances are you've seen a lot this year about Lumberjanes.
And there's good reason for that. First, the monthly series from BOOM! Studios is the sort of book many talkers-about-comic have been saying we need more of forever: It's full of strong female protagonists, and it's the work of strong female creators. (It's a comic book about a group of awesome ladies, by awesome ladies!)
Second, and more importantly, it's really, really good. It's the story of five teenage best friends who occupy the Roanoke cabin of their Girl Scouts-like summer camping organization — April, Jo, Mal, Molly and Ripley — and their discovery of, and battles, against all kinds of weirdness in the woods around them. In the first, eight-issue arc they became involved in a contest between Greek gods, fighting three-eyed woodland creatures, yetis, dinosaurs and giant lightning bugs in the process. All that while earning merit badges.
Why do I bring this up? Well because if you've been reading about Lumberjanes and haven't yet sampled it, this week's issue is a pretty great jumping-on point.

Crime | A man was spotted on security video last week at New York Comic Con stealing a one-of-a-kind, 20-inch Dunny figure hand-painted by by Jon-Paul Kaiser valued at $2,000, plus two other items, from the Clutter Magazine booth. [DNAinfo New York]
Legal | Chinese cartoonist Wang Liming, who uses the pen name "Biantai Lajiao" (Perverted Chili Pepper), has applied for a visa to remain in Japan, saying he's afraid to return to China. Liming's account on the Chinese social media site Weibo, where he published his cartoons, was shut down in August, and the People's Daily newspaper has called him a traitor and accused him of being pro-Japan. Last year, he was arrested and held overnight on charges of "suspicion of causing a disturbance." "China's situation surrounding freedom of speech has worsened during these six months," Wang said in an interview. "I have no idea where the borderline is (between what is permissible and what is not anymore)." [The Asahi Shimbun]
Conventions | Attendance at the second annual Salt Lake Comic Con was estimated at between 120,000 and 130,000, putting it on a par with the big shows like Comic-Con International in San Diego and New York Comic Con. Even better, Stan Lee proclaimed it "the greatest comic con in the world" (but he probably says that to all the shows). [The Salt Lake Tribune]
Conventions | The scale of the first Las Cruces [New Mexico] Comic Con was considerably smaller, with expected attendance of 3,000 to 5,000, but organizers were pleased with the event, which featured a Yu-Gi-Oh! tournament, a Comic Strip Burlesque show, and appearances by Jim Steranko, Power Rangers stuntman Jason Ybarra, and the 1966 Batmobile. [Las Cruces Sun-News]
Lumberjanes, the critically acclaimed BOOM! Studios comic by Noelle Stevenson, Grace Ellis, Brooke Allen and Shannon Watters, has been upgraded to an ongoing series.
Announced as an eight-issue miniseries from the publisher's fledgling BOOM! Box imprint, Lumberjanes centers on five teen girls — Jo, April, Mal, Molly and Ripley — who head off to summer camp, only to be faced with monsters in the woods and a mystery that puts the whole world at risk.
Censorship | At least one comic, alas unnamed, was among the thousands of books removed this week from a Turkish government restricted list. Most of the bans were widely ignored anyway, but Metin Celal Zeynioglu, the head of Turkey's publishers' union, pointed out one important effect of lifting them: "Many of the students arrested in demonstrations are kept in prison because they're carrying banned books. From now on, we won't be able to use that as an excuse." [The Australian]
Publishing | Tom Spurgeon's latest holiday interview is with Shannon Watters, the editor of BOOM! Studios' children's comics line, which includes Adventure Time, Bravest Warriors and Peanuts. [The Comics Reporter]

How could they cancel the game? A demo level was made for e3 2006 and it looked good.

What was Kaiser Wilhelm's (and it seems his forebearers) stated reason or purpose for their custom of visiting Jerusalem? Also, why where the anarchists trying to kill him?
This contemporary NY Times article most likely contains all the information you can get on this:
The Kaiser wasn't there for mere pilgrimage. At the time Germany was heavily invested in developing the Ottoman Empire. Germany had no significant colonies, so sought to make the weak Ottomans their economic vassal. The major project was a rail system from "Berlin to Baghdad" which would compete with the Suez Canal. There was also a lot of German non Jewish settlement in Palestine, notably the German Colony of Jerusalem. There is a hospital in Jerusalem founded by and named after Augusta Victoria, the Kaiser's wife.
