Guilty Pleasures: Biggles: Adventures in Time
Scott McKenzie takes another trip back in time and finds himself in the dock...
There will be many members of the jury who have not seen the 1986 movie Biggles: Adventures in Time, but you must not let that cloud your judgement. Just because there were only a handful of people in the cinema when the accused went to see this movie on its opening weekend and it doesn't receive much love from TV broadcasters, that doesn't mean he shouldn't be ashamed at his misplaced love of this relic. The fact that a movie based on Captain W.E. Johns' characters was put into production should be applauded. The early twentieth century adventures of his stories should have been well-received by young cinema-goers following the release of the first two Indiana Jones movies but the makers of Biggles made one fatal flaw.
Undoubtedly with their eye on the US market and reacting to the influence of Back to the Future, the writers bashed a story together that involved sending a young American guy back in time to the first world war. The plot device they dreamed up to do this is to invent the theory of 'time twins', whereby someone will be taken through a hole in time to help out their time twin if they are in mortal danger. What's amazing isn't the fact that it makes no sense whatsoever, but the fact that that's the best the writers could come up with! After all, the plot centres round Biggles attempting to foil the nefarious scientific plans of those evil Germans—why not have our goggle-wearing hero discover that the Hun have built a time machine and take it from there?
Exhibit A: 'If you can fly a Sopwith Camel...'
Another failure of the writers is with the unbelievably corny dialogue. When they aren't drawing directly from the Olde English 'chocks away, what what' playbook, they're explaining away Biggles' success at piloting a helicopter on the first attempt with the toe-curling line 'if you can fly a Sopwith Camel, you can fly anything' (exhibit A). The soundtrack is no better. I guarantee that by the mid-point of the movie you will be tearing your hair out upon hearing the opening bars of Jon Anderson's 'Do You Want to Be a Hero' or, God forbid, the appalling song that seems to be blaring from the helicopter most of the time. If the songs have made you lose the will to live, then the background music will almost certainly send you over the edge. Biggles should be studied by film students as an example of how to come up with a score that comes nowhere close to matching the mood of the movie. The best way I can think of describing the score is to ask you to imagine an electronic Casio keyboard with severe flatulence.
Exhibit B: Look out for the telegraph poles, old bean!
The producers obviously thought they could knock together an Indiana Jones-lite movie and walk away with a tidy profit but there's just so much about Biggles that betrays its low budget. First of all, the dogfights between Biggles and his arch enemy Von Stalhein were filmed in the British midlands, in1985, which explains the presence of telegraph poles in the shot (see exhibit B). The visual effects are pure Doctor Who standard, and I'm talking Doctor Who circa 1986, not 2008. The supporting cast don't make things any more bearable, in particular the incredibly annoying Chuck, played by William Hootkins, also known to science fiction fans as Porkins, the only member of Red Squadron who had to keep his X-Wing in a lower gear. To finish, I would like to present the jury with a clip from British kids' TV show Blue Peter from 1986 (exhibit C). Both fans of the movie will probably find the making-of sequences interesting but the biggest indicator of the producers' lack of faith in their movie is the competition at the end offering fifty (yes, fifty!) pairs of tickets as prizes.
Exhibit C: When TV competitions actually required brainpower
I'm willing to concede that Biggles is a cynical piece of filmmaking made to cash in on the popularity of mid-80s sci-fi adventures and the 'time twin' plot device is nonsense, however it does make for a simple and efficient movie. Biggles' main weakness is also the reason for one of its greatest strengths. By transporting Jim Ferguson back in time whenever Biggles is in trouble, the audience knows that a nice bit of action can't be far behind. This means that the writers don't have to insult the viewer's intelligence by stringing together tenuous contrivances to get Biggles and his gang from one place to another and also minimises the time we have to spend in the 80s. Once the viewer stops questioning the theory of time twins, it makes the movie all the more enjoyable.
Exhibit D: The late great Peter Cushing
You will also find no argument from me on the subject of the low budget; however some key scenes are shot with surprising flair. Given that this is the last screen performance of the great Peter Cushing (exhibit D), due deference is given to his presence, with eerie framing whenever he is on screen.
Prosecution: Objection! It just looks like the camera is on the wonk whenever Peter Cushing shows up.
Judge: Overruled.
The flying scenes are particularly impressive, with wing-mounted cameras putting the viewer right in the middle of the action. These sequences alone make Biggles an intriguing watch even for the most casual viewer. In addition, there's even a nice touch of gore thrown in that generally gets cut whenever Biggles is shown on TV (exhibit E).
Exhibit E: Eeeeewwww
The performances of the supporting cast may be dodgy to say the least, but there is genuine chemistry between Neil Dickson as Biggles and Alex Hyde-White as Jim Ferguson, who didn't go on to bigger and better things and unfortunately showed up as Mr Fantastic in the Fantastic Four movie that never was. Ending on a cliff-hanger, it's a crying shame that Biggles underperformed at the box office because it had the potential to spawn not one but two franchises. First of all we could follow the further adventures of Jim and Biggles but secondly, and possibly more intriguingly, we could have been given more stories of different sets of time twins.
Before I retire to my chamber and start work on the pilot of the Time Twins TV show that I've just thought of, I'd like the jury to consider the trailer for Biggles (exhibit F) and then ask them to honestly tell me that they wouldn't like to watch the whole movie. Ignore the music of course...
Exhibit F: Yes, I want to be a hero!
So now I must put the question to the DVDActive jury. Biggles: Adventures in Time... guilty pleasure or not guilty?

The guiltiest of guilty pleasures. Don't watch if you're lactose intolerant. Too much cheese.
But I like cheese. When I bought this DVD, I bought it with the Flash Gordon movie, which tells you where this film lies in my heart.

My vote is Guilty Pleasure.
If having the great Peter Cushing was not enough, seeing that awesome trailer did it for me.

Back in the day of recording stuff on VHS off of the single pay movie channel we had, HBO, Biggles was one of my favorite movies to watch over and over again. Why? Because despite its cheesiness with the time travel aspect, the WWI segments were actually quite good. And I'm always a sucker for good WWI-esk movies.
I also loved the cheesy song they played through-out the film.
I'd love to see this film geta Lowry Digital restoration. But I doubt that'd ever happen.

We can remember that there was a lot of fuss made about it at the time of release, and reviews were less than kind. We waited for the video release, and were a little disappointed with the end result.
The great Peter Cushing was frequently called upon to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear, and walks away without a blemish once again, but he might be the best thing about it. A lot of people were quick to lump the film with the box-office disaster "Bullshot" from a couple of years before, and you can see what cause this, as both have a boys-own hero as their lead.
If there was a decent DVD release with a major clean-up job, it might be appreciated more than it was back then. Digitally remove those telegraph poles along with changing the music for something a little more classical and you might have a real winner.

I'd like to see a proper Biggles adaptation, perhaps two or three like LOTR and a follow up to Masters and Commander.

Is it bad that when I saw the clips of the movie from Blue Peter, my gut reaction was "That's badass!" The helicopter stuff is sweeeeeet.

I loved this movie when I was 12.. now that I am 25. I took the time to try and download it because finding it on TV would be slightly difficult. All I found were c**ppy KVCD's of it. So to the netflix! I got the movie and ripped it with exacting standards and keep it on my archos portable player. The movie is only in a 4:3 format however which doesn't seem possible. But I looked up every dvd available and they all say 4:3. This movie is an 80's movie. They cannot be judged on a scale with modern movies. In terms of 80's cinema. this is a 5 star film!

text: History / Company Info The Yuba-Sutter region's rich and fascinating history includes hospitals that were established in the early 1900s to provide healthcare for the communities. Rideout Memorial Hospital was founded in 1907, by Phebe Dunning Rideout, while Fremont Medical Center's beginnings can be traced to the 1920s. As the communities evolved, decisive yet separate leadership directed the progress and operations of Rideout Hospitals. In 1983, the management of the two hospitals determined that the healthcare needs of the people we serve would be better served and resources more efficiently managed by combining the hospitals to create a united healthcare system. United Communities Medical Services was formed. The name changed to Fremont-Rideout Health Group in 1992 and in 2012, we became Rideout Health. Today we operate as a not-for-profit community based healthcare system, which is governed by a 15 member community volunteer Board of Directors. Today, Rideout Health maintains one of the lowest average daily rates for hospital stays in California and provides general medical/surgical care, intensive care, heart care, pain management care, urologic care, neurosurgery, cancer care, extended care services, a senior living/senior services campus and a full range of support and ancillary services.

News a few weeks ago, but I had to wait before publishing,
to deepen the information better.
So my dear SEO, as they say in Rome, "and 'mo f ** i know!"
If Google does not update as the data in the Toolbar PageRank, many SEO will be in serious difficulty.
And indeed: beginning on the first "collective redundancies" of SEO.
(I wrote a previous post, here is the link, the article: Companies looking for SEO Manager / SEO Specialist when Google does "disappear" their sites)
Therefore, this important information for all SEOs and website owners: no longer be available and updated.
And Google continues to "put a spoke in the wheels" to workers SEO and Web Marketing.
Google changes the cards "on the table", to your liking, use and consumption!
And that's not good!
Google: do not be evil!
First with the "not provided" in Google Analytics (and in all other statistics software – ed)
the keywords "click" by Google, will no longer be present in the statistical data,
and it will optimize the work of the organic results, and you have been forced to invest in Google Adwords,
to have a minimum of data on keywords!
and Google is grateful for the revenue with Google AdWords!
Now, Google also takes away the PageRank from the Toolbar, to penalize those who do SEO "Link Building" extreme (and / or a fee – ed)
Yes, because "it is forbidden" says Google, in the simple rules of webmasters.
Obvious: it is forbidden, because the Link Building has been "undermined" the Google "top secret" algorithm, and then, all he does lose money to Google, has become "no"!
Google does not want to divide "the cake" it 'with SEO, it' with web marketers.
John Mueller, Google, has also made it clear in a video:
It has reached the end of the important data in key SEO.
Farewell PageRank in Google Toolbar!

Univision working to create immigration archive
NEW YORK (AP) — The Spanish-language media company Univision and one of its top advertisers are encouraging Hispanics to share their stories about establishing new lives in the United States for an immigrant archive.
The Univision network will kick off the effort, called Generacion America, during Thursday's telecast of the Latin Grammy Awards.
Univision and its affiliated networks will help collect stories from celebrities and average citizens to be part of the Immigrant Archive Project, an independent effort to collect the stories, and show snippets of them on TV. The advertiser Procter & Gamble is helping to fund the effort, although neither company would say how much is being spent.
Univision Networks President Cesar Conde said the kickoff was intentionally timed for after Election Day so it wouldn't become a political issue.
The election itself, where the Latino community played a key role in President Barack Obama's re-election, may actually help to drive interest in the project, Conde said.
"We're seeing an increased amount of interest by Hispanics and non-Hispanics in the paths that have been taken in the United States," he said.
Thirty-two stories have been collected so far. In one, a businesswoman and Mexican immigrant named Mercedes Ruiz talks about how she took an English-as-a-second-language course and began working as a liaison for the company that offered the courses.
Fernando Espuelas, a Univision radio host of Uruguayan descent, talks about how people can actively choose to become Americans.
Stories are being collected in both Spanish and English.
For Procter & Gamble, makers of Pampers disposable diapers, Gillette razors, Tide laundry detergent and Duracell batteries, among many other products, the incentive is clear: Increasing visibility in the growing Hispanic market is a key to increasing sales.
The company will promote the effort on social media and through "Orgullosa," a company-produced program that preaches empowerment to Latina women, said Lauren Hoenig, an associate marketing director for the company.
Hispanics are encouraged to share stories on the GeneracionAmerica.com website.
Univision Communications Inc. runs the broadcasting networks Univision and TeleFutura, cable networks including Galavision and a radio network and owns 62 television stations in the U.S. and Puerto Rico.

Interiors Awards: Which Movie Gets Your Vote?
I'm no movie expert, but I do know a cool interior when I see it. There's so much more to a film experience than just plot and dialogue; costumes, props and especially set décor are so important to the authenticity of a story. So I've gathered ten movies from the past year that distracted me with their awesome interiors.
1. Dark Shadows provides plenty of gothic 70's, as only Tim Burton can do. Via MovieWeb.
2. Whether you love or hate Tolstoy, the interiors of Anna Karenina were intricate and stunning. Via IMDB.
3. It's classic, mid-century modern at its peak in Hitchcock. Via Movie Insider.
4. Probably my favorite movie in this group, Argo's set is lush with 1979 Middle-Eastern details. From textiles to tea tables, I covet them all.
5. Amour is moving, subtle and so very French. Still from Amour Trailer via YouTube.
6. Quirky, bright and campy (literally), Moonrise Kingdom is another perfectly-styled Wes Anderson gem. Via AceShowbiz.
7. The futuristic Hunger Games shows a vast divide between amazing opulence and bleak survival. Via Movies.com.
8. If you can take your eyes off Daniel Day Lewis as Lincoln, check out what an 1860's White House may have looked like. Via DigitalWeb
9. There's no set design in this documentary. No matter your opinion of the couple who lives inside, you have to admit that the Queen of Versailles has some pretty staggering interiors.
10. Pay attention to the amazing hippie details in the farmhouse in Wanderlust. Via Movies.com.
My top prize goes to Amour. I couldn't take my eyes off the book-lined walls and muted French glamour of this amazing apartment, especially since the majority of the movie takes place within just a few rooms. It's not the flashiest choice, but the design is consistent with the understated tone of the film and the bittersweet story.
Thanks for voting!

It's Product Review Friday and this is Week 4 of this year's Holiday Gift Giving Guide.
This week we will hear from Review Crew members: Glenn & Hank, Dixie and Brad.
First up we have yet another exquisite erotic art insertable from the artisans at XHale Glass. This is the third product we've reviewed from this outstanding company. See the other HERE!
Mister Twister —— $129.95
Glenn & Hank
Glenn: "WE'RE BACK! Did you miss us? We missed you. Well actually, we missed the sex toys. Being a Review Crew member has its perks."
Hank: "He's in such a good mood because we got to review another toy that he can shove up his ass. Glenn has the hungriest hole around."
Glenn: "I like to think of it as talented, not hungry."
Hank: "A rosebud by any other name…"
Glenn: "Speaking of talented; a literary allusion and an asshole allusion all in one sentence. You're on a roll, my man!"
Hank: "Ok, let's get on with it. What we have here is an art glass butt plug. Mister Twister is just one of the beautiful creations to be had when you visit XHale online. Glenn and I are new to glass, but after this little encounter; there will surely be more glass toys to come."
Glenn: "This petite beauty is only 3 3/8" tall. It has a very modest girth of not much more than an inch. This is your starter butt plug model. I'm like totally used to way bigger toys in my ass, but there is something about this stunning little number that makes it one of my favorites. I feel all dressed up with this puppy pluggin my hole. Maybe that's because it's art, baby. All XHale art is individually handmade, which makes my insertable even more precious to me. No one else in the world has exactly the same one as I."
Hank: "It sure is! It also has this amazing blue and white swirl in the solid glass. That's why when Mister Twister joined our dildo and plug collection it was like a snowy dove trooping with crows."
Glenn: "There you go again! Apparently you've got Romeo and Juliet on the brain. But you're right; Mister Twister is a jewel, that's for sure."
Hank: "Because this is the highest quality glass, it will last a lifetime; ya just gotta treat it with care."
Glenn: "XHale helps you do that by providing a very sturdy black padded drawstring pouch to keep your insertable art safe from getting nicked or chipped. But we think Mister Twister is so beautiful; when it's not adorning my hole it is proudly placed on our mantle."
Hank: "And if you think that is gross, you don't know squat about glass insertables. You can clean this baby with simple soap and water; wipe it down with a lint-free towel moistened with peroxide, rubbing alcohol or a 10% bleach solution; or sterilize in boiling water or the dishwasher."
Glenn: "You can use any sort of lube you want to with a glass object like this. And a little goes a very long way. For someone unfamiliar with a butt plug, this will take some getting use to. It's hard as a rock. But once you get the hang of it, it will be your material of choice from there on out. I can wear Mister Twister for hours on end. There's no chafing; nothing like that."
Hank: "And you can warm or chill glass for an added sensation."
Next another vibe from our friends at Vibratex.
Neo Cockring by Vibratex —— $24.99
So I was like totally hot for the Neo Cockring when I saw it in its stylish plexiglas storage case. At 33 I'm just discovering the joys of wearing a cockring. I was telling some of my gay clients at the gym about getting my first cockring about a month ago. They looked at me like I had just landed from outer space. OK, so I'm a late bloomer; sue me!
The Neo Cockring is a clear jelly sorta deal. Although it's not a jelly, it's made of a phthalate-free elastomer. This may not make a difference to you, but it sure does to me. I don't do anything that may contain phthalates. I mean, why would I endanger my health if I don't have to?
The thing that rocks, or is supposed to, is this cockring has a built-in vibe, and it has this tickler side to it. And even though the vibe is a tiny thing; it has two activation choices. The first is a side button that remains "on" until depressed, and the second is a pressure sensitive pad behind the ticklers. So my GF is like waiting for me to warp this thing around my johnson and show her what it'll do to her clit. I position the ring around my dick and balls with the vibe on the top of my cock with the tickle head pointing outward. Are you following this?
I activate the vibe and…well I feel it, but it ain't rockin my world; as I had hoped. But ok, maybe the vibe is not for me but my GF. Ahhh, not so fast! She says she can feel it too, and she likes the way it turns itself on as it comes in contact with her clit, but there ain't enough bang for her buck either.
Finely, something very unique from Doc Johnson.
Wish-Bone Vibrator —— $25.50
I'm doing a solo review today. My partner, Joy, is working on another review for later in this series.
I have something no nonsense to show you this time around. It's about as simple and straightforward as you can get. It's the Wish-Bone Vibrator.
I've used a lot of vibes in my day. I think I own nearly two-dozen of them. Some I've used a couple of times and that's it; I never touch them again. Others are favorites that I put to very good use frequently. However, none of them look like the Wish-Bone. So this little wonder gets high marks for it's clever design.
Here's how it works; you put your index finger (I prefer to use my middle finger) through the notch at the top of the vibe. You finger tip lands on the single button that switches on the vibe and rotates it through its three speeds before coming to off. That's it; no bells, no whistles, just solid thoughtful design and construction.
It's a perfect design. I love to finger myself when I jill-off. This extends my finger for effortless fingering. It's made of a hard plastic (phthalate-free) that excellently conducts the vibration. It's fabulous on my clit. And if that isn't enough, the thing is waterproof. It's so ideal; I now have the Wish-Bone permanently placed on the ledge of my tub.

Disagreed with Brad Pitt's nomination for Benjamin Buttons…..thought it should have went to Josh Brolin in W. Brolin was awesome. A little sad that Kristin Scott Thomas didn't make the cut in Best Actress in a Leading Role as well. Lastly, disagreed with the Best Picture Nomination for Benjamin Buttons…should have gone to Doubt…all four leads received Oscar nominations.
I'm okay with Pitt's nomination but agree the film is definitely NOT Best Picture. Don't know if DOUBT is either, though, since the acting was great all-around but the movie had some clunky scenes.
I still haven't seen all of the movies to give any well-versed thoughts, except that I was very sad Wall-E didn't make the Best Picture nominations (slightly mollified by it picking up six nominations in total) and I can't fathom Benjamin Button's inclusion. Oh, and much and all as I won't be disappointed if Heath Ledger picks up the Best Supporting Actor (for sentimental reasons), I'd love to see Robert Downey Jr. receive an Academy Award! He's one of my all-time favourite actors.
PS: And kudos to you, PCN, for getting up so early!
Button doesn't belong anywhere on that list except maybe Best Cinematography! …But, um thanks for getting up early
How can ANYONE give Button a Best Adapted Screenplay award nom?!?!? F. Scott is screaming from the coffin! No Best Pic, either!! I do agree with everything else they nominated.

Car News: 2014 Detroit Auto Show
All-New 2015 Ford F-150 Coming to Detroit Auto Show
- 2015 Ford F-150 scheduled to debut in Detroit
- Rumors suggest bolder styling, aluminum construction
- Ford has not confirmed any details about the upcoming pickup
Pickup fans, get ready: Ford will pull the cover off an all-new, fully redesigned F-150 at the upcoming Detroit Auto Show in just a few weeks. That's big news for the automotive world, since the F-Series is the most popular vehicle in the United States -- a title it has held for nearly four decades.
Unfortunately, Ford has kept quiet about its all-new F-150 ahead of the truck's launch. Still, that hasn't stopped many rumors from brewing, which is no surprise given the pickup's huge popularity and the potential impact of an all-new design.
One of the biggest rumors going around the automotive world is that the F-150 will boast aluminum construction. That would be a first among pickup trucks, and it could help the F-150 shed hundreds of pounds. The result could be improved fuel economy and better maneuverability without sacrificing any towing or hauling capability. However, aluminum construction costs more than steel, and that means the F-150 could see a price hike.
As for styling, the F-150 isn't expected to stray too far from its current look. Many reports suggest the truck will share design cues with the Atlas Concept, which debuted at last year's Detroit Auto Show. The Atlas Concept incorporated many Ford styling touches, though it boasted a more muscular, aggressive look than today's F-150.
And what's under the hood of the all-new F-150? That, too, is a major source of rumors. Today's F-150 offers four engines. Two are V8s: a 360-horsepower 5.0-liter and a 411-hp 6.2-liter. And there are two V6s, a 302-hp 3.7-liter and the highly popular 365-hp 3.5-liter EcoBoost powerplant -- an engine that Ford says combines V6 fuel economy with V8 power. We'd be surprised if the EcoBoost goes away for the 2015 model year. But we wouldn't be surprised if a smaller engine joins the truck's lineup, along with a new automatic that improves gas mileage. We also wouldn't be surprised to see hybrid technology reach the F-150 lineup, considering how many Ford models now offer hybrid or electric versions.
Keep checking back for further information about the all-new 2015 Ford F-150. We'll have more details as soon as the truck launches at the upcoming Detroit Auto Show.
What it means to you: No matter what Ford does with the new F-150, the truck will make a huge splash when it debuts in Detroit.

Which college degrees give you the best chances of finding employment after graduation? Teaching internships provide the opportunity for current students to gain experience. A teacher's aide works in a classroom setting, under the supervision of an experienced teacher, including a number of weeks leading the classroom. The Praxis Exam, given by the Educational Testing Service, is required for new teachers in most states.
Each school district has particular application procedures in place, so you must know the teacher certification or licensing requirements of the state board of education in that state in which you are seeking a teaching position. Schools and other educational organizations may require a curriculum vitae (CV) instead of a resume. The average annual salary for high school teachers was $57,200, in May 2015, with teaching job growth due to larger class sizes and increasing student enrollment.
Online courses promote faculty innovation, by requiring professors to develop new course materials. Every class is recorded and stored on a remote server, which allows students to replay difficult sections as many times as required. If you so choose, online education gives you the opportunity to take difficult courses that won't show up on your transcript. Alternatively, you may be able to complete online credits for a grade. Advanced Placement exams (AP Exams) are offered in a variety of subjects, offering college credit for classes that you have taken. Test yourself with free practice exams, before visiting the College Board website to register to take your actual AP Tests. If you earn a score of 3 or higher on an AP subject exam, you may be granted advanced placement in college.

The black lines seems to be triggered by certain patterns of color/brightness, which means that in some activities without such patterns the screen works fine - such as Terminal (text on white background) this is not true for the frame of the activity, here the lines still appear.

Developed Nations Protest Developing Nations' Desire To Create Their Own IP Laws
from the hypocrites dept
This all happened recently at WIPO, concerning the Development Agenda. As a bit of background, over the past few years, WIPO has finally come around to realizing that a single strict intellectual property regime around the world doesn't make much sense. Over the last decade, the amount of evidence showing how developing nations are seriously harmed by strict intellectual property laws is overwhelming and, at this point, incontrovertible. With that in mind, the Development Agenda within WIPO has grown, allowing various developing nations to really seek out alternative views on intellectual property. In fact, this is why ACTA and TPP are being done outside of WIPO, despite it being the natural place for such agreements: because the US (mainly), and some others like Japan, didn't want to let the developing nations into the conversation.
And yet, when the Development Agenda tried to have some private discussions on "enhancing cooperation" on intellectual property issues among developing nations... the developed nations threw something of a hissy fit, and effectively derailed the meetings by demanding to be there. The end result was that the meetings were suspended:
In the project, two inter-regional meetings were planned among developing countries and LDCs, and two annual conferences with the full WIPO membership. According to sources, the two inter-regional meetings would have been closed meetings only allowing members from developing countries and LDCs and that was challenged, in particular by developed countries.While I tend to think that all such discussions should be open, I find it astoundingly hypocritical of the "developed nations" to insist on keeping their own discussions entirely secret (and even taking them out of WIPO to keep them secret), and then to claim that these discussions need to involve them.
Some concessions were made so that only the first inter-regional meeting would have been closed and the second one would be open to developed countries but only with an observer status, with one conference open to the whole WIPO membership, according to sources. Some developed countries argued that no meeting should be restricted to only some members as some developing countries purported the opposite opinion, saying that a closed meeting would constitute the first step of South-South collaboration, sources said.
No consensus seemed reachable and Egypt asked for a vote to adopt the project, backed up by India and South Africa. Matters got only worse when a developed country member asked for a secret ballot vote, which gave way to a discussion on the WIPO rules of procedures and the difficulty to organise a secret ballot vote this late into the evening and the meeting, sources said.
Egypt finally asked for a suspension of the meeting, backed up by India, according to a source. The vice-chair of the meeting, Garikai Kashitiku, first secretary of the permanent mission of Zimbabwe, suspended the meeting.

Oh, I really hope that the only way is father. x'D (I like the Uroboro Sibs a lot.. *cheers for them*cough*)
I was a little worried when Roy ripped the stone out.. but YAY they can regenerate even from that. xD!
Wonder what will happen to Envy and Glutt too.. I Don't think Ling and his Ninja will kill them *phew* ..and well, HOW to kill them anyway. xD
Most likely they want to get information about immortality once again. (but since Greed as an Uroboro was searching for that one as well.. the two won't know either + they aren't the smartest anyways ?! xD ..yeah, wonder how that will develop~)
..I hope father does not get too mad at them later. °° xD
If anything happens to glutt and envy.. THEN I'd be pissed. XDD ..about Roy I don't care~ *gets stabbed now* xD;
(tho Lust won't kill him YET.. he's a human sacrifiece after all, or isn't he ? °°)

Here's my tiny theory from looking at the last few panels (and seeing Lust regenerate around the PStone, from my perspective)...
It seems that Philosopher's Stone, when used in the creation of homunculi, provides a 'link' (possible soul/spirit, since each are made from and by the Father) between that homunculi and the PStone. Hence, if for some reason the PStone is ever extracted from a homuncli, its original body wil decay and the homunculi 'linked' to that particular PStone will regenerate around it (no part of it's body needs to touch it). Of course, this may be a wild theory, but it would make the homunculs virtually unkillable, except in the destruction of the PStone itself (where, according to this wacky theory, Greed's PStone was destroyed by Father in that vat of mystery substance, and that portion of the soul returned to him)

Couple of Questions:
From what I understand, the basis of alchemy is exact trade, whereas to create something, you need to have something similar to that to transmute into the final product. Am I right so far? If Im right, why did Ed and Al lose their bodies when trying to create their mother when they had the core ingredients to create 1 adult body to trade?
Is there any significance to the holes in the homunculus' clothes? I remember seeing Bradley injuring Greed in so many ways yet he was able to regenerate, but when Bradley stuck those swords through the holes in his suit, he didn't attempt to regenerate or remove the swords.

I liiiike leaving the tea bag in for a long time and then squeezing the life out of it, then adding a ridiculously specific amount of milk (1 1/2 teaspoons measured accuratley) and 1/2 teaspoon of sugar exactly. People who add milk BEFORE the water are insane LOL! The milk cools the water not the water warms the milk!
Green tea is also nice. Super super super good for you too.
How do you make your tea? and what flavours do you enjoy?
♥♥♫♥Its so good gal turn me on♥♥♫♪
I don't drink tea :3
Toasters don't toast toast, toast toast toast.
COFFEE!!!!!!!! Tea is for women and brits!! Lol but honestly, I used to drink it occasionally as a kid. Nowadays though its only coffee which apparently works like steroids but as I've told people before, if I'm lucky it might let me wear jeans without being strangled. (If you don't get the joke too bad for you!!)
I like doing the same you mentioned ^3^ squeezing the bag so more of the essential herbs will get into me cup. green tea sucks
I do the bag squeezing thing too
but i don' t like to put milk and i like to use honey instead of sugar but i'll use sugar if i have to
I can't believe my profile is still here
I get a big cup, add the teabag (often green tea) and pour warm water in.
Let it be for a minute or so, squeeze the bag empty of excess liquid and getting the most out of it. Throw the bag away, add 2-3 tea spoons of sugar and stir.
Maybe add a bit lemon.
Here's a guide by George Orwell, on how to make proper tea.
I'll quote the text and put it in a spoiler, if anyone feels like reading it:
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
If you look up 'tea' in the first cookery book that comes to hand you will probably find that it is unmentioned; or at most you will find a few lines of sketchy instructions which give no ruling on several of the most important points.
This is curious, not only because tea is one of the main stays of civilization in this country, as well as in Eire, Australia and New Zealand, but because the best manner of making it is the subject of violent disputes.
When I look through my own recipe for the perfect cup of tea, I find no fewer than eleven outstanding points. On perhaps two of them there would be pretty general agreement, but at least four others are acutely controversial. Here are my own eleven rules, every one of which I regard as golden:
* First of all, one should use Indian or Ceylonese tea. China tea has virtues which are not to be despised nowadays — it is economical, and one can drink it without milk — but there is not much stimulation in it. One does not feel wiser, braver or more optimistic after drinking it. Anyone who has used that comforting phrase 'a nice cup of tea' invariably means Indian tea.
* Secondly, tea should be made in small quantities — that is, in a teapot. Tea out of an urn is always tasteless, while army tea, made in a cauldron, tastes of grease and whitewash. The teapot should be made of china or earthenware. Silver or Britanniaware teapots produce inferior tea and enamel pots are worse; though curiously enough a pewter teapot (a rarity nowadays) is not so bad.
* Thirdly, the pot should be warmed beforehand. This is better done by placing it on the hob than by the usual method of swilling it out with hot water.
* Fourthly, the tea should be strong. For a pot holding a quart, if you are going to fill it nearly to the brim, six heaped teaspoons would be about right. In a time of rationing, this is not an idea that can be realized on every day of the week, but I maintain that one strong cup of tea is better than twenty weak ones. All true tea lovers not only like their tea strong, but like it a little stronger with each year that passes — a fact which is recognized in the extra ration issued to old-age pensioners.
* Fifthly, the tea should be put straight into the pot. No strainers, muslin bags or other devices to imprison the tea. In some countries teapots are fitted with little dangling baskets under the spout to catch the stray leaves, which are supposed to be harmful. Actually one can swallow tea-leaves in considerable quantities without ill effect, and if the tea is not loose in the pot it never infuses properly.
* Sixthly, one should take the teapot to the kettle and not the other way about. The water should be actually boiling at the moment of impact, which means that one should keep it on the flame while one pours. Some people add that one should only use water that has been freshly brought to the boil, but I have never noticed that it makes any difference.
* Seventhly, after making the tea, one should stir it, or better, give the pot a good shake, afterwards allowing the leaves to settle.
* Eighthly, one should drink out of a good breakfast cup — that is, the cylindrical type of cup, not the flat, shallow type. The breakfast cup holds more, and with the other kind one's tea is always half cold before one has well started on it.
* Ninthly, one should pour the cream off the milk before using it for tea. Milk that is too creamy always gives tea a sickly taste.
* Tenthly, one should pour tea into the cup first. This is one of the most controversial points of all; indeed in every family in Britain there are probably two schools of thought on the subject. The milk-first school can bring forward some fairly strong arguments, but I maintain that my own argument is unanswerable. This is that, by putting the tea in first and stirring as one pours, one can exactly regulate the amount of milk whereas one is liable to put in too much milk if one does it the other way round.
* Lastly, tea — unless one is drinking it in the Russian style — should be drunk without sugar. I know very well that I am in a minority here. But still, how can you call yourself a true tealover if you destroy the flavour of your tea by putting sugar in it? It would be equally reasonable to put in pepper or salt. Tea is meant to be bitter, just as beer is meant to be bitter. If you sweeten it, you are no longer tasting the tea, you are merely tasting the sugar; you could make a very similar drink by dissolving sugar in plain hot water.
Some people would answer that they don't like tea in itself, that they only drink it in order to be warmed and stimulated, and they need sugar to take the taste away. To those misguided people I would say: Try drinking tea without sugar for, say, a fortnight and it is very unlikely that you will ever want to ruin your tea by sweetening it again.
These are not the only controversial points to arise in connexion with tea drinking, but they are sufficient to show how subtilized the whole business has become. There is also the mysterious social etiquette surrounding the teapot (why is it considered vulgar to drink out of your saucer, for instance?) and much might be written about the subsidiary uses of tealeaves, such as telling fortunes, predicting the arrival of visitors, feeding rabbits, healing burns and sweeping the carpet. It is worth paying attention to such details as warming the pot and using water that is really boiling, so as to make quite sure of wringing out of one's ration the twenty good, strong cups of that two ounces, properly handled, ought to represent.
I use honey instead of sugar in my green tea. I usually add a lemon as well.
I sit my ass at the table and drink whatever kind of tea my dad makes
i drink coffee usually but when i have tea i drink it plain i just find it weird to add things in to my tea, though i do add cream to my coffee and sugar if the cream has no flavor, and as for what kind of tea i don't really have a preference
"Tis' but a flesh wound"
I'm more of a coffee person, really. I like organic chai tea from Tazo, though.

GASP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GREEN TEA's AMAZING!!!!!!!!! =( u don't what ur missing out!!!!!
No double posting, you got the edit button for a reason.
I drink whatever my dad gives me, as long as it isn't green tea.
Being British and all, I love me some tea. ;D
From what I can remember, you should add your water, then your sugar before the milk. The sugar will melt quicker being in the plain boiling water. Adding the milk after to make sure the milk isn't spoilt, like it can be if you add it first.
How sad I know this. :|

I don't drink tea. Does iced tea count?

By Samantha L. Quigley / American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, July 13, 2007 - No single troop-support group can meet every request servicemembers make, but through partnerships with three other groups, Silver Star Families of America is coming closer.
Under the guidance of Silver Star Families of America President Steve Newton, the group has teamed up with "Give An Hour," "Soldiers' Angels," and the "Thank You Foundation." These partnerships broaden the scope of resources the group's able to offer servicemembers.
"All three of these (partnerships) were launched within the last two weeks," said Janie Orman, vice president of Silver Star Families of America. "They're working great already."
Silver Star Families of America, Soldiers' Angels and the Thank You Foundation are all members of America Supports You, a Defense Department program connecting citizens and corporations with military personnel and their families serving at home and abroad.
Give An Hour's current mission is to develop a national network of mental health professionals who will volunteer an hour a week to respond to the needs of the military community. The organization is a Washington-based nonprofit group.
The partnership with Give An Hour is aimed at encouraging servicemembers or relatives of servicemembers with post-traumatic stress disorder to seek help.
Servicemembers seeking help for PTSD or other mental health issues can visit Silver Star Families of America's Web site and follow the link to the Give An Hour Web site. Once there, individuals can locate professionals in their area and schedule an appointment.
Silver Star Families of America recently got a first-hand look at how their new partnership worked when a woman called about a friend's son suffering from PTSD, Orman said.
"It was very important that we got something happening for her immediately," she said, adding that the woman was referred to Give An Hour, which got the young man help that day. "That's what she was so excited about, that Silver Stars was able to give her help right at the moment and there wasn't any time wasted, because there wasn't any to waste with this young man."
Give An Hour also extends its services to parents, siblings and unmarried partners who don't qualify for benefits through the military, according to its Web site.
While the military and medical communities are working intently on identifying and treating troops suffering from PTSD, they also are working to help servicemembers recover from traumatic brain injuries.
One of therapies reported to help patients down that road is a favorite of teens, as well: hand-held electronic games.
"We have read several reports of how this really helps with their motor skills and to boost their morale," Orman said.
In conjunction with Soldiers' Angels, Silver Star Families of America will distribute hand-held electronic games to those suffering from traumatic brain injuries, Orman said. The first shipment has already been shipped, and Madigan Army Medical Center at Fort Lewis, Wash., has requested the games for some of its patients.
While Silver Star Families of America's main focus is on honoring families of those wounded in combat, its members realized that many more servicemembers are injured outside war zones, Orman said. They felt these veterans should be recognized as well, and the partnership between Silver Star Families and the Thank You Foundation was established to do just that.
"In the last few weeks, we've been trying to come up with a program to acknowledge them. It's outside of our mission, but … we want them to know that we care about them and thank them also," Orman said. "That's what led us to the Thank You Foundation and to work with them."
By filling out a form asking specific questions about an injury, servicemembers wounded outside a combat zone can receive a certificate of recognition for their sacrifices, Orman said.
Additionally, Silver Star Families of America is operating two new programs on its own.
The "Honoring Hungry Heroes" program provides fast food gift cards to wounded servicemembers during hospital stays, Orman said. The other program, "Letter Writing to the Wounded," sends letters to wounded troops recovering in military hospitals in Iraq and Germany, as well as across the United States.
"Each program, I feel, (assures) the wounded veterans that people really do care about them and that (the caring) didn't just stop when they came home," Orman said. "I guess we're hoping it will encourage them."

Everything about this soup is mini, except the flavor! Packed with mini meatballs and bite-size cheese ravioli that are the perfect size for your soup spoon, it's brimming with roasted red peppers, tomatoes, garlic, onion, and fresh spinach. It's stick-to-your ribs, hearty, warming and filling. A soup that eats like a meal.
The soup comes together fairly quickly and doesn't take long to cook. The meatballs have the most delicious flavor, tender but sturdy enough to hold up to the soup and cooked to the point where they want to fall apart but don't. The next time you're craving meatballs and pasta maybe you'll consider something a little different, a change from the norm that's every bit as delicious and satisfying.
1. In a large soup pot saute the onion and bell pepper in 2-3 tablespoons olive oil until soft and tender, over medium low heat seasoning well with salt and pepper. Add the garlic, saute until fragrant. Add the bay leaf, Italian seasoning, thyme, chicken broth, tomatoes and season well with salt and pepper. Bring slowly up to a simmer. In the meantime make the meatballs.
2. Combine all the meatball ingredients in a large bowl. Form into 1-inch meatballs.
3. Once the soup is boiling carefully drop the meatballs into the pot. Bring back up to a slow simmer and cook for 20 minutes. Taste and season again with salt and pepper or Italian seasoning if needed.
4. Cook ravioli separately according to package directions. Add spinach to soup and cook for 10 minutes or until spinach is wilted. You can mix the ravioli into the soup or serve by spooning a few ravioli into each bowl and spooning soup over top. Remove bay leaf before serving with plenty of grated cheese.
I'm sending this to Deb of Kahakai Kitchen for Souper (Soup, Salad and Sammie) Sundays!

It belongs to an indirect question (subjunctive denoting a subordinate clause). Translation ok.

Why is consecutus sit in the subjunctive?

Plural nominative, subject of pervenerint : "his deeds were finally hated" (or something more English)

My problem is with eius opera.

Eius = Lysandri, gen after hospitio "his..."
se : antecedent is the subject of confirmarat i.e.qui; se is sing acc, subject of the infinitive fore
illius = one more time Lysandri genitive after proprium "peculiar to him", "his property".
proprium is masc. sing. accusative, predicate adjective of se

So (in French) : "sinon celui qui était lié à lui par un lien d'hospitalité ou celui qui avait assuré qu'il lui appartenait par un lien de fidélité." (More ore less : "except the one who was tied to him by hospitality or the one who had guaranteed that he was his faithful henchman")nisi qui aut eius hospitio contineretur aut se illius fore proprium fide confirmarat.

I can't keep straight who eius, se, and illius each refers to. And what does proprium go with?

As you know, Monopoly requires players to roll dice... not once, not twice, many times. There are three ways we can do that in CC: everyone throws their own dice and tells us the result:P, everybody plays tens of games with similar partners and similar settings or we use a dice server. To keep the game fair and interesting, we decided that we'll go for option 3. A dice server is basically a trusted party (no connections to us-organisers or you-players), which throws the dice and allows all interested users to see the result. To make all our lives easier, it is possible to request a number of dice rolls and that's exactly what we are going to do. Every week (around weekend time) we are going to request a lot of dice rolls for all the players for the the next 3 rounds of our game. Results will be posted in this thread and they will be also available at the dice server's verification page.

FULTON, Mo. (csssaints.com) – The St. Scholastica football team picked up its fifth UMAC win led by its defense who held the Westminster Blue Jays to negative two yards rushing to win 20-6 on Saturday at Priest Field.
The game was called with 3:28 left in the fourth quarter due to lightning.
After CSS had its 17-game winning streak ended last week by Northwestern, it looked to start a new streak this weekend as it made the 14-hour drive to Fulton, Missouri to take on the Westminster Blue Jays.
The Saints would get on the board first after their defense forced the Blue Jays to a three-and-out. Tyler Harper would engineer a 17-play, 50-yard drive that would be capped off by a Mike Theismann 34-yard field goal to make the score 3-0 with 6:01 left in the first quarter.
The teams would exchange punts after three-and-outs before Westminster regained possession of the ball and would drive down the field behind 65 passing yards from Joe Plassmeyer, including a 29-yard touchdown pass to Scott Rodgers. The two-point attempt from the Blue Jays was no good to make the score 6-3 in favor of the home team.
The Saints would get the ensuing kickoff at the start of the second quarter and start at the drive at their own 44. Harper would get his team going strong on the drive as he completed a pass to his favorite target, Nick Thiry, for 38 yards. Two plays later, Thomas Fragale would run the ball in from 20 yards out for the touchdown to make the score 10-6 in favor of the Saints after the Theismann extra point.
After a Blue Jay punt, the Saints drove the ball 55 yards down the field in nine plays, but would be stopped on a fourth-and-five at the Westminster 15-yard-line.
On the next Blue Jay possession, the stifling Saints defense would come up big again when Blake Cedarleaf recovered a fumble from Scott Rodgers. The Saints would capitalize on the turnover. After converting a fourth-and-17 with a 20-yard completion to Thiry, Harper ran it in from nine yards out and would make the score 17-6.
The third quarter was a battle of defenses as the teams combined for five punts and an interception.
The Saints would take over possession of the ball with 12:39 left to go in the fourth quarter and would hold onto the ball for the rest of the game. After a penalty called back a Harper interception the Saints would keep the ball on the ground for the rest of the game including eight straight runs from Chris Gassert for 70 yards. Mike Theismann would conclude the scoring for the game with a 25-yard field goal to make the final score 20-6. Gassert has 73 yards on the drive that took over nine minutes off the clock.
The weather not the clock would conclude the game as lightning overhead forced the teams into about a 50-minute delay and the game was eventually called.
Westminster was led by Plassmeyer who was 21-36 for 184 yards and the touchdown throw to Rodgers. Seven of Plassmeyer's completions went to James Gladstone for 33 yards. Gus Lyles led the team in tackles with nine including one tackle for loss. Brother Rodney Lyles had six tackle including 2.5 for loss with one sack.
Harper was 12-for-24 for 149 yards with one INT. Fragale was the leading rusher for the Saints with starting running backs, Jake Jensen and Travis Nehowig out. Fragale rushed 21 times for 93 yards and the touchdown run. Gassert had a strong game as well with 75 yards on 12 carries. Harper gained 35 yards on the ground as well with the touchdown run. Nick Thiry had seven receptions for 102 yards.
Jake Turkowski led a Saints defense that gave up only 183 yards and negative two yards rushing with seven tackles from his safety position. Jake Church had the lone sack for the defense to go along with three tackles.
The Saints (5-2, 4-1) will be back in Duluth for their final home game of the year as they take on Crown College for Senior Day next Saturday at Ordean Stadium at 1 p.m. All of the action can be seen live on Saints Sports Net.
