These include Fleet events, overall EH Plotlines, personal anecdotes, etc. The Fleet Commander wishes to emphasize that all development proposals for the Emperor's Hammer MUST be approved by the Fleet Commander prior to release to the rest of the Fleet. New "Imperial Senate" Subgroup to be Formed for Non-Gamer Star Wars Fans As Submitted From: Fleet Commander (GA Ronin) As quoted from www.lucasfilms.com: "A long-respected institution, the Galactic Senate is where the future of the Republic is shaped. Over a thousand senators from member worlds throughout the Republic regularly gather together under the domed ceiling of the massive Main Senate Chamber to share insights, discuss problems, and forge solutions. In long-standing tradition, disputes are kept within the Senate walls and dealt with in a civilized manner, with words instead of weapons. Every world is represented in the Senate, and even the smallest planet can petition to make its own voice heard. The system has upheld just government and freedom for thousands of years, but the bureaucracy has begun to grow too strong..." ...The Imperial Senate... (Photo: LucasArts, 1999) Recently, the Fleet Commander (GA Ronin) has received several requests to join the Emperor's Hammer, but alas...they're non-gamers. Consequently, in light of the "historical facts" released during Episode I: The Phantom Menace, a new Subgroup will soon be formed. It will initially be simple in command structure so as to allow room for growth. Although the Imperial Senate of the whole Empire was officially dissolved by Emperor Palpatine prior to the destruction of the first Death Star at Yavin IV, Grand Admiral Ronin has allowed the Imperial Citizenry to reform the Senate in the Outer Rim to assist with the management of civilian resources throughout the Territories... The following initial Positions (in descending order of command) are proposed: Chancellor of the Senate (CH-S) Senatorial Council Member (SCM) Committee Chairman (CCH) Senator (SEN) The Subgroup will be comprised of an "unlimited" number of Senators. When a Senator joins Imperial Senate Subgroup, he/she will select a planet of origin (worlds from existing, published Star Wars sources or the EH Systems Manual MUST be used...!). The main activities are anticipated to initially include: Online Meetings/Debates Message Board Posting General Fiction Submissions for the EH Newsletters SIMMs Star Wars Trivia Run-On stories Nighthawk has been selected as the first Chancellor of the Senate. Congratulations! With the recent resurgence of Star Wars fandom, this newest Subgroup promises to be one of the most active and dynamic.

Tattooine or Bust By Vice Admiral Kessler Well, it finally happened. Star Wars Episode One: The Phantom Menace hit UK shores this month. I’ve only been waiting 22 years to see this movie; so, as you can understand, I was a little anxious to actually get to see the damn thing. I don’t want to talk about the movie itself; however, if you’ve already seen it you know what you thought of it, if you haven’t already seen it I’m no going to spoil it for you. Rather, what interested me was a show called “Tattooine or Bust” which aired on National TV just before the movie opened. Some of you may be aware of a Group called “Countdown to Star Wars”. Basically, these people sat outside movie theatres for months waiting for the movie to open. Now that simply displays a level of dedication to George Lucas’ baby that I simply cannot relate to. (Well, okay, I can relate to it, but don’t tell my fiancée, she thinks I’ve got my addiction under control) The thing that made me sit up and take notice was that these people were essentially Mr Joe Normal like anyone else. You could see the TV crews trying to get some kind of “geek” angle going on these people, and okay, one or two of them were basically what any dictionary would refer to as “prime geek material”, but Darth Maul facemasks and lightsabres aside, these people were a lot like anyone else you ever met. One of them summed it up pretty well. When asked if he considered himself a geek for being a Star Wars fan, he replied: “Well I’m what I like to call an “undercover geek”. I can talk to normal people in conversation without mentioning Darth Vader, I can go to parties and talk to girls without asking if they want to see my lightsabre.

Crack!”– swept over the Canadian taiga, rolling back from the mountainsides and making a large black bear raise its head in irritation, while a herd of startled caribou galloped for a minute aimlessly before coming to rest again. The sources of the booms were two fighter aircraft, a stubby Phantom pursued by a slender pencil-shaped Starfighter, both of which by that time had already reached the narrow valleys which split the hills around Goose Bay. “All right, Aldi, you had it coming!” the pilot of the sleek Starfighter exclaimed, as he zig-zagged behind the Phantom through the maze of canyons they had entered by now. He flipped a switch on his control stick which armed the cannons, but then he gave a little curse because he had lost his focus on navigating the plane for a fraction of a second, and had nearly crashed into an outcrop of rock. “That’ll be the day,” the other pilot radioed back with a peculiar German accent and the slightes indication of a laugh. He gave the control stick of his Phantom a jerk, and the plane with the German Luftwaffe’s “Iron Cross” on it rolled sharply to the right where an even narrower canyon branched off their valley.

  • 2008 Erik Axel Karlfeldt Memorial Open Round 6
    2008 Erik Axel Karlfeldt Memorial Open Round 6 1. One instance of this type of event which involved Matt Prater decided the 2005 Aloha Bowl between Nevada and UCF. In 2004, a game-deciding instance of this by Ryan Gaudet was nullified by a penalty, one week after Alexis Serna did it three times against Gaudet’s team. LSU won both those games, defeating Auburn and Oregon State. Perhaps more famously, a Jerome Pathon touchdown, scored after laterals from Donte Stallworth and Deuce McAllister, was made meaningless when John Carney did this, giving a 20-19 victory to the Jaguars over the Saints. FTP, name this rare football feat, which results in only six points being awarded for a touchdown. ANSWER: missed extra point (accept equivalents; do not accept “blocked extra points”) 2. A rapper of this name put out such tracks as “Murder Makes Mo Mail” on his 1996 album De Vallejo. The title of a recent book on American culture by R. Jay Magill, Jr. refers to this kind of chic bitterness. Better known is a song of this name, which was sandwiched between two songs by Oasis as a Billboard number one single. That song details the flight of “Mr. Play it Safe” and remarks that “life has a funny way of sneaking up on you.” It speaks of such events as a “Black fly in your chardonnay” and a “No smoking sign on your cigarette break,” which are erroneously said to exemplify the title concept. FTP, name this Alanis Morissette song that complains of occurrences such as “rain on your wedding day.” ANSWER: “Ironic” 3.

  • Giorgio Monicelli
    Prefazione Trovo sempre difficile parlare del passato. I trent’anni spesi nell’industria cinematografica mi hanno insegnato a pianificare, creare e realizzare per il futuro. Per un produttore, sceneggiatore e regista, un film finito è qualcosa che deve essere giudicato dagli altri, lui lo ha esaminato infinite volte. Ogni film diventa il meglio che il materiale che lo ha prodotto era capace di dare. Quando è finito è solo una cosa del passato e quello che conta è solo il successivo... La selezione del materiale, lo sviluppo della sceneggiatura, la programmazione ed il budget. Il reperimento delle finanze, la scelta degli attori, dei tecnici, dell’equipaggiamento e quindi, quando tutto è pronto, bisogna superare il frenetico periodo delle riprese quando tutto deve fruttare al meglio ed ogni penny speso influenza il costo finale. E un lavoro creativo, frustrante, esilarante, ma sopra di tutto è un lavoro appagante. Alla fine viene il periodo più tranquillo di assestamento ed organizzazione di quanto fatto fino a quel momento, il mio periodo preferito. Il montaggio del materiale girato, i vari “proviamo a farlo così” per poi arrivare a quello che sembra essere il taglio migliore. Gli effetti sonori, la musica, il doppiaggio e finalmente la copia con il colore giusto, Il film è finito. Adesso mi si chiede specificatamente di guardare indietro per giudicare la vita della Hammer, dei 121 film che in qualche modo mi hanno visto protagonista, per affermare la loro importanza nella storia del cinema. Una cosa impossibile, almeno per me. Quando ripenso ad un certo film, rivedo immediatamente la gente che lo ha fatto, i posti dove è stato girato, i drammi ed i piaceri delle fasi di lavorazione.

  • Snow Patrol Biography
    SNOW PATROL BIOGRAPHY A few reasons why Snow Patrol are one of the biggest and boldest bands of the past decade: over 15 years, the part Irish, part Scottish five piece have transformed from cultish indie wannabes into a stadium-packing tour de force. They have shifted over ten million albums worldwide and been nominated for Grammys and Brits; scooped Meteors and Ivor Novello Album Awards. At the heart of the band is Gary Lightbody, Snow Patrol‟s frontman and songwriter-in-chief. Over five studio albums, the 33 year-old has sketched heart-bruised laments and arm-around-your-best-mate festival anthems; radio hits and moments of painful introspection. All of these have been gathered together for Up To Now - a double album of 30 singles, cover versions and album tracks. “It‟s a bit like photo album,” says Lightbody. “It‟s a documentation of how the band got to where it is now. We‟ve been working hard for 15 years – it wasn‟t something that happened overnight. We wanted to give people as honest an account of us as a band over the last five albums, warts and all. Yeah, we‟re being selectively honest and we might be covering over some of the cracks, but this collection really feels like an honest portrait of us as a band. “At first we got it down to 40 songs but knew it had to be leaner than that and had a little trouble cutting some things we really liked out. But we got it down to 30 in the end.
