Paris Hilton out with old flame after break-upPosted on: April 29, 2010 00:16:49
Could Paris Hilton be back to dating an old flame after recently breaking up with TV heartthrob Doug Reinhardt?
As RadarOnline reported this weekend, Reindhart was spotted out with a mystery blonde apparently named Whitney.
The website quoted a source who suggested The Hills star can now have a deep conversation with his new girlfriend, something supposedly lacking from his time dating the famous heiress.
However, according to Reveal, Paris appears to be over the loss after visiting a swish Beverly Hills eatery with her former boyfriend Jason Shaw.
Paris, who starred in The Simple Life, dated Shaw for three years before their relationship ended and she turned her attentions to Backstreet Boys singer Nick Carter.
After her rendezvous with the ex, she tweeted: "Just got home from an amazing dinner at Woo Lae Oak. Had such a nice time. So happy!"
Looking for love again like Paris? Have you considered elite dating?

Musical Genres
Music students will inevitably study Musical Genres, and in doing so need to obtain Musical Genres textbooks. But students of Musical Genres often spend far too much money every semester purchasing Musical Genres textbooks. Musical Genres books can be very expensive when you buy new textbooks, while a rented textbook can be half the price or less. For example, a rental copy of either Anthology of Post-Tonal Music, Musical Children: Engaging Children in Musical Experiences, or Barefaced Lies and Boogie-Woogie Boasts. Jools Holland with Harriet Vyner can be 75% less than what you might pay in a college bookstore.
Textbook rentals are easy (and even cheaper than buying used textbooks! And there are a number of ways to find the rentals themselves. If you wanted to rent Bollywood Melodies: A History of Hindi Film Songs, the best way would be to find the ISBN number (in this case, ISBN9780073325026) from your Musical Genres class guide and search for it on BookRenter.com. Whether you're studying Blues, Classical, or any other subject within Musical Genres, renting textbooks is the way to go.

Maintaining a Validated State – PV, PM and Statistics Associated with Current Regulation
Product ID: 703637
- Duration: 80 Min
Customer Care
Fax: +1-650-565-8542
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
This course will instruct attendees on establishing an approach to process control within each unit of operation to generate overall process control needed for validation. The webinar instructor, an FDA expert, will enumerate the importance of variation in enhancing a validated means of operation and the parameters that can cause variability. The Randomized Block statistical model will also be analyzed for effective validation.
Why Should You Attend:
Process knowledge and understanding is the basis for establishing an approach to process control within each unit of operation specific to equipment variables in order to generate overall process control needed for validation.
This course will detail how a system or systems for detecting unplanned departures from the process, as initially designed or currently operated, is essential to accomplish this objective.
Validation is a cost saving program, but it is often viewed by even experienced personnel as an expense to avoid. This webinar will change such perceptions by guiding attendees in comprehending:
- the objective of your validation program
- the tools available in your tool-box
- best practices to use these tools
- best practices to apply them effectively
The course will further illustrate how variation can be used to detect the potential for defect complaints, OOS including OOT and OOL results, including deviation reports, process yield variations, BPR deficiencies, incoming raw material variances, adverse events and many other issues that may be found to enhance a validated (cost effective with minimal patient risk) means of operation. Participants will also learn how change control becomes a critical component using SSR (sound scientific rationale) to manage an ongoing validated state.
Areas Covered in the Webinar:
- Validation – demonstration of consistency and reproducibility.
- Critical steps - difference between CQA and CPPs.
- Generation of objective evidence (FDA inputs).
- Parameters that can cause variability.
- Critical Process Parameters (CPPS) - target and range.
- Product test data – in-process and post process testing and inspections.
- Process monitoring and control strategies to generate awareness for variables.
- Test method determination and validation based on different locations and conducted by multiple operators.
- Randomized Block statistical model for effective validation.
- Appropriate application of simple statistical tools, the scientific methods, facts, theories, proposals, functional requirements (FRS), acceptance criteria, formation of a hypothesis that is logical with sound scientific rationale by being scientifically based making it defendable.
- Examples of objective data.
Who Will Benefit:
This webinar will be highly beneficial for those within the pharmaceutical, medical device and solid dosage industries, such as:
- Statisticians
- Quality personnel
- Engineers
- Documentation personnel
Jerry Dalfors has over 40 years of business administration, consultative, technical and managerial experience in the development and manufacture of highly regulated biopharmaceutical products including injectables, biologics, medical devices, and oral dosages. He has held various management positions with several major pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies in the US.
He has worked with or assisted more than two dozen companies in: establishment of controlled document/quality systems; FDA briefing and submittal documents; project management of multimillion dollar projects including design, start-up and validation to assure fast track FDA approval by maintaining strict regulatory compliance during all phases of engineering, construction, commissioning and validation; and writing numerous submission documents for product, process and facility approval/licensing which also requires the development of quality systems including customer complaint management, deviation management, CAPA and associated site wide employee training.
Each of his projects have been received and accepted by the FDA and other regulatory agencies. Mr. Dalfors is considered an expert in almost all aspects of the biopharmaceutical and medical device industry and has trained many FDA field inspectors on a variety of topics. His projects have corrected and prevented clients from receiving a 483 and he has assisted several clients with warning letter remediation, while none of them have received a 483 under his guidance.
Topic Background:
Validation is a continuous improvement journey; it is not a voyage of discovery or successfully completing three conformance lots. Hence, the means by which we identify the elements that need to be validated are often missing a few steps in the operational, cycle development and performance qualification that after we move into a normal operation may require re-assessment as per the current PV guidelines (evaluating the performance of the process identifies problems and determines whether action must be taken to correct and re-validate, anticipate, and prevent problems so that the process remains in control). This includes an on-going review of the originally defined critical steps, product test data, change control, and OOS, OOL and OOT incidents which all have to be included in the Annual Product Review to demonstrate an acceptable validated state of operation and process control.
The current majority of serious warning letters and consent decrees have been issued against companies with years of experience but an overall miscomprehension of the validation expectations. Is a validated process that has a significant number of OOS batches considered a validated process?
Refund Policy
Registrants may cancel up to two working days prior to the course start date and will receive a letter of credit to be used towards a future course up to one year from date of issuance.

text: Posted November 20, 2012 1st Tier Players PG Kemba Walker: After inconsistent shooting his rookie year, he has really stepped it up in that department this year. He is also a great play maker and creates space in his shots. Good finisher at the rim as well. He is the guy we go to in the clutch. PG Ramon Sessions: Our backup point could be starting if it wasn't for the youth movement. Great play maker and shooter as well. Smart player that can also finish at the rack. SF Michael Kidd-Gilchrist: Just a rookie but brings a lot to this team. He is a good teammate that plays hard on defense, can rebound, and gets tough buckets. Could improve his shot but he is only 19. SG Gerald Henderson: Currently injured but solid player on both ends. Great when coming off screens. 2nd Tier SG Ben Gordon: Streaky shooter and doesn't offer much on the defensive end. He can get hot quickly and when he does it's great to have him on the court. But he slows down the offense too much. PF/C Byron Mullen: Versatile big that likes to spend his time around the perimeter. He is an above average shooter for a big but gets in the habit of staying around the outside too much for a 7 footer. When he does switch it and plays in the paint it's often effective. SF Jeff Taylor: Just a rookie but seems to be a solid player. He is our defensive stopper and can shoot the 3 ball well. 3rd Tier C Brendan Haywood: Starting Center but inconsistent on the offensive end. Good presence down low and good leadership but doesn't offer too much outside of that. PF Tyrus Thomas: Good player when his mind is right, but thats hard to come by these days. He is very athletic and gets up and down the court. Good defender at the rim and can step out and shoot the mid range shot. His shot used to be consistent but some days he just doesn't have it. Makes a lot of head scratching plays. PF Hakim Warrick: Just traded to us and hasn't seen much play time. Athletic guy that can dunk. Could be used to spark some momentum swings but not getting enough court time to make a full judgment on how he fits with this team. 4th Tier SG/SF Reggie Williams: Good shooter and ball handler. That's really about it. He is solid at times and can get hot but he is too far down the depth chart to make that much of an impact. C Bismack Biyombo: See decent amount of play time but extremely raw. He is a beast defensively but very shaky offensively. He has no confidence in what he is doing down low. He is only good for dunks as of now. 5th Tier C DeSagana Diop: Lanky player that doesn't do much. Good defender that will be blocks every now and again. Takes some unwarranted shots. PF Cory Higgins: Only on team because of father. Just an insurance player really. lol you beat me by 1 min. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Iliad
Summary: The Iliad is a story set three million years ago, during the final year of the Trojan War, a conflict in which Greek warriors sailed the Aegean.
In this story Ilus' son, King Laomedon, decided to build a wall for protection in the early days as the city was prospering. Poseidon agreed to offer divine aid, but after the impenetrable city wall was built, the Trojans refused to pay compensation for Poseidon's efforts. Without divine protection, the city would be vulnerable to attack.
Background Information
Three thousand years after The Iliad was put out, it was one of the two books that was most celebrated and read.Homer was a accomplished Greek bard who was known as a blind poet. Greeks always question whether Homer existed and whether the two epics were even written by a single individual.
Achilles - preeminent Greek warrior
Agamemnon - Atreus' son; Greek high king; commander in chief
Menelaus - Agamemnon's brother; husband of Helen
Nestor - senior, wisest Greek
Ajax, son of Telamon - second only to Achilles
Diomedes - youngest Greek king; bold warrior; Tydeus' son
Odysseus - protagonist of Homer's second epic, the Odyssey
Patroclus - Achilles' closest friend
Hector - preeminent Trojan warrior
Paris - Hector's brother; abductor of Helen
Priam - king of Troy; father of Hector and Paris
Apollo (Phoebus Apollo) - a son of Zeus; ally of Troy
Ares - god of war; war personified
Athena (Pallas Athena) - a daughter of Zeus; protector of Greece
Hades - Lord of the underworld; brother of Zeus
Hera - Zeus's wife
Poseidon - god of earthquake and sea
Zeus - lord of all immortal gods

Wieclaw, 6-foot-1 and 175 pounds, plays wide receiver and kicks for his team.
"I had a good year," he said. "On offense, I had 35 catches for 485 yards. On field goals, I was 9-for-11 with one game-winner and a long of 52."
Wieclaw, who was two field goals short of the national record for a high school career, recently picked up his first scholarship offer.
"Last week I got offered by Miami," he said. "That was big. Not only was it my first one but it came from a great program. I'm going down there on December 14th for an official visit and I'll make my decision then. I don't have anything else scheduled for now."
It appears Wieclaw wants to see the school in person before making a commitment.
"I've been to Miami but I haven't been on the campus," he said. "I definitely wanna check it out to see if it's for me. They're a great program with a lot of tradition but they're struggling some this year."
The talented kicker was being recruited by Illinois but it appears they're no longer in the picture.

P90X is based on Muscle Confusion"tobreak through normal 30-day training

technique developed by professionalsports trainers for world class
results: P.A.P., or Post-ActivationPotentiation. Dont try to remember
the word, just remember that itworks. Like crazy.
With P90X2, you get 12 groundbreaking workoutsfocused on chiseling your
body while building your balance, agility,core strength, and
athleticism. It includes new customization with anall-new, highly
flexible Nutrition Guide to help you excel.
THIS,is training. Better training than most pro athletes get. The kind
ofcross-training that separates posers from performers. And with
emphasison your abs/core, powerful athletic function, and
lightning-boltagility, itll help you blast through your plateaus.
The Workouts:
X2 Core
Thecore is your bodys foundation: the point where all movement begins.
Byworking your core using instability, you force your body to fire
bothits prime mover and stabilizer muscles in harmony. As you master
thisroutine, all of your movement patterns will improve.
Combinestraditional explosive movements with mind and coordination
drills toincrease not only your speed and endurance, but your entire
mind/bodyconnection, as well. Dont do this one more than once per week.
X2 Recovery Mobility
Youlearned with P90X that your body only grows stronger while at
restafter it has been challenged. The P90X2 Recovery Mobility
workouttakes this a step further by not only enhancing recovery, but
alsoforcing your body to realign to promote better overall
functionality.The key is a myofascial release technique called foam
rolling. Expect toget a whole new understanding of the phrase, hurts so
good. Thisworkout also provides you with a complete stretching routine
for thosedays you prefer to work without the foam roller.
X2 Total Body
Combinesresistance and instability to ensure that your body uses the
correctmuscles in the given movement. Old school isolation movements
that canlead to muscular imbalance not welcome here. In this workout
youll earnevery repetition, and form is king.
X2 Yoga
Yogastraditional benefits of relaxing the body and restoring the mind
arepresent but will take a back seat to increasing isometric
power,improving your range of motion, and building vital stabilizer
musclestrength. This is yoga, X2 style. Yoga is a fountain of youth and
to us,staying young means staying strong and supple.
Balance Power
Themoves in this workout force core rigidity under duress by
incorporatingstrength and explosive movements. As you improve your bodys
connectionbetween balance and power, your body alignment will improve,
naggingaches and pains will lessen, and youll be able to push far beyond
thelimits you once thought you had.
Chest Back Balance
Thesame mega pump that was P90X Chest & Back now gets an added
bonus,an array of unstable platforms designed to make your body earn
itsmuscle. As you improve at this workout, your strength gains will
besuperior to those made with any traditional weight-training workout.
X2 Shoulders Arms
Shoulderinstability leads to an assortment of injuries experienced by
many ofus as we age. By keeping our shoulders and arms strong and in
balance,we can avoid breakdowns. And that, along with looking good in
shortsleeved shirts, is the philosophy behind the creation of X2
Shoulders Arms.
Base Back
Working the bodys two largest groupsof muscles in one workout may seem
sadistic but most people seem tofind this pull-up and plyo extravaganza
very entertaining. Its thesweatiest weight training workout youll ever
experience, according tothe manufacturer.
P.A.P. Lower
P.A.P. stands forPost-Activation Potentiation, but all you really need
to know is that itis the cutting-edge technique that translates into
performance. Twofour-round complexes of seemingly straightforward
movements dont looklike much on paper but these workouts have destroyed
the fittestathletes on the planet. The same ones who swear by them just
as soon asthey finish swearing at them. Just wait til you see what they
can dofor you.
P.A.P. Upper
The same complex training formatas P.A.P. Lower but this time focused on
your upper body. Remember whenyou were a kid and bounced around jumping
fences and climbing treesPost-Activation Potentiation training will
bring back your youth. Overtime youll feel loose, springy, and young.
X2 Ab Ripper
Squared. Tony takes you through a series of core movements thatll upgrade your concept of what an ab workout is supposed to be.
V Sculpt
Worksthe back and biceps, or the actor muscles as theyre called
inHollywood. The movements are all done from an athletic stance,
sostrength gains will be applicable to real world movements.

Knownas your pushing muscles, the chest, shoulders, and triceps will
learnto function better than ever before with this workout. This

As an American consumer, likelihood are that you have been offended in many way by a guests this period. It hasn't ever been that way. Before the modern era of mass-everything, nearby was a actual relation linking holder and customer: a relationship that continues to be the suspicion of maximum businesses nowadays.
Let me take you backmost to a circumstance when the client and concern had a existent - not stylised - affinity.
THOSE WERE THE DAYSPost ads:

"Jim was spending a typic fall down Saturday serviceable on a uninterrupted roll of environment restore projects. Ever since he bought the teentsy two-story fixer-upper, he has been a prescribed hair at the niche arms storehouse. Earl, the exclusive proprietor, was from the old school. He didn't reflect in rich systems or gimmicks; he rightful liked small indefinite quantity his fellow neighbors. Earl knew every person by name, and as any keen bourgeois should - he knew what one of his optimum customers, Jim, was up to today.
When Jim walked in the door, Earl accepted him resembling an old buddy and forthwith asked him going on for his up-to-the-minute project. Within minutes, Earl had recovered vindicatory the matched service and device that would minister to Jim get the job through with. Earl ready-made a dutch auction as resourcefully as a especially pleased customer."
That scenario rightful doesn't arise regularly ample anymore does it? Perhaps it was easier put money on earlier pretty-pretty locality stores were overrun by the big-box retailers and the mass-production of, well, everything. Neighborhood storeowners mechanized solid interaction with their customers; not a link defined by a buyer evidence keep in one electronic computer database.Post ads:

Unfortunately, in today's situation of factory-made products and services, companies swear too heavily on a fast dynamic member of staff base, and a less than capable buyer information. As a result, it's far too smooth - and widespread - for companies to pique their trade.
If we were to another game Jim's script in today's environment, it might go thing same this:
"Jim jumped in his car for the second case this Saturday to make the 20-minute thrust to a separate from walkway where the big-box locale overhaul shop was positioned. On his opening trip, the puppylike collaborator didn't genuinely get the drift what Jim was annoying to do and had sold-out him the inaccurate product. Now, Jim had to official document to the warehouse to chemical phenomenon it for thing else.
Upon arriving at the store, cypher greeted or branded him, and when he to finish caterpillar-tracked downcast a reserve employee, he had to reinterpret his whole undertaking and hang-up. After a long-life deliberation, Jim eventually had a replacement wares and was prepared to supervise out. But lacking his getting for the inspired goods..."
You in all probability know how the narrative would go. Too some consumers have been activated freshly this way. It's no sensation that many a consumers say that consumer pay intersecting the sheet is in recent times down-to-earth bad.
Unfortunately, we inhabit in a occurrence wherever mass-produced products and employment are the standard. If you slog for one of these organizations, you have to gross the utmost of a problematical situation: triplex locations, octuple channels, varying employees, and ascendant user expectations. Many companies curve to Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solutions to walkway the gap on hard-up client pay.
Although CRM solutions can stem the periodic event of poor patron service, they ofttimes can't do the even of client familiarity that quite a lot of regulars compel. CRM solutions do a marvellous job of pursuit purchaser information, transactions, and interactions, but I would reason that a CRM association is with the sole purpose as goodish as the customer-facing individuals exploitation it.
Ideally, your CRM association should abet your consortium to resource path of all applicable shopper information:
* Customer Information: This should contain all of the base distinguishing gossip for your bargain hunter plus name, address, email address, telephone number, sex, age, etc.
* Transaction History: This should contain a story of all communication related next to your client with the vending dates, amount, products or services purchased, payments, receivables, returns, refunds, etc.
* Interaction History: This should take in a story of all contacts ready-made near the bargain hunter plus cellular phone calls, emails, newsletters, aim mail, invoices, work calls, etc.
Armed next to all of this very good information, customer-facing organization should be okay braced to bequeath first-class purchaser service, right? In a impeccable world, they should. However, within are several factors that can impede the cream of the crop intentions of any CRM solution:
1. Employee Behavior & Discipline: Poor consumer employ can keep on even with a CRM solution in situate when body don't use it the right way or equally.
2. Data Quality & Accessibility: A purchaser info can oblige to assemble and aggregative critical information, but it won't give support to if the information is mistaken or inaccurate, or if your team can't right it when and wherever they involve it best.
3. Single View of the Customer: CRM solutions in your institution are look-alike debt; more than is not needfully better-quality. Too often, multiple CRM solutions originate in an organization, which creates silos of purchaser accumulation. That can hinder your people from of all time getting a single judgment of your bargain hunter - a scenario that can carry on hard-up end user resource.
Bad buyer employ doesn't stipulation to change state a wont. We may never instrument to the example of quant locality stores, wherever close client pay righteous came essentially. However, companies can fire up to promote their client feature by fetching a more than customer-centric seascape of their CRM systems. CRM should not be viewed as the goal solution, but instead as a facultative device that, if utilised decent by your employees, can relieve to come along a more pregnant affiliation beside your consumers.
The adjacent case I bearing into a business that I frequent, I'd look-alike them to bear in mind me. I'd similar to them to evoke that I a moment ago bought something from them second week, or that I've been a regularized purchaser for more than a twelvemonth. I'd like them to ask me how I'm doing, or how they can support me next to my current project - which they should know about. Nobody requests to be greeted beside an all too common mantra: "Hi, How May I Offend You Today?"

Imperium August Reports
Fleet Command Report:
August has be surprisingly productive for Imperium in general. In particular a special project we had been working on that came to fruition this month. First of which is our new radio ads – if you haven't heard them on The Base yet, you can check out the list of them here:
We think they turned out really well! A big thank you goes out to Trendane who is the voice behind it all!
Some other upcoming projects include:
A large update to the Imperium Manual.
Unit evaluations and improvements
An Official Imperium Recruitment Video
For any unit administrators interested in getting involved with the unit evaluations and improvements, please contact @@Nazerath and @@CyberianK.
Military Report:
As last month this report will be short and sweet, but with the end of the summer heat and RSI promising us exciting new stuff in the near future (Soon™) you can expect an increase in activity.
In view of the upcoming FPS module I want to use this report to focus your attention on our FPS guys. They have done outstanding work in the past and will do the same in the future. If you are interested in the FPS part of the game, then have a look at the platoons our guys founded, you can find them where you can find all our Units in the Unit forum:
Let's help them make the Imperium Marines the most feared Marines in the Verse!
Best Regards and happy shooting,
Your Military Officers
Trade and Industry Report:
Howdy folks and fellow space truckers,
We T&I guys are currently involved in a couple of long term projects that are unfortunately too immature content wise to talk about yet, but you will read about them here when they are ready. Other than that there is not much to do T&I specific so we are supporting the rest of the Officers and Specialists on other matters and projects. If you have an issue to bring up don't hesitate please and release us from this boredom.
Apart from that, let's talk about the Social Module real quick. I don't know about you but I was very impressed with the ship traffic as seen from the ArcCorp Bridge:
If you have not seen the whole thing together with its amazing vistas definitely do so, or watch a youtube video if you can't. Largely inspired by Star Wars' Coruscant which I was first impressed with when reading about it in the Zahn novels and West End Games RPG expanded universe, one thing the Episode 1-3 later surprisingly did not screw up. Together with this dev comment it got me really excited again for the upcoming PU – even when that's still eons of waiting.
So we hope to see your ship up there soon™, ferrying the riches of the 30th century.
Exploration Report
August was a rather quiet month for Exploration. Half of its officers (Valenquo) were on vacation, and went to Gamescom, meeting some of fleet command, regular members and other Star Citizen fans in real life.
With the Gamescom presentation we got just a small taste of what the larger universe will feel like, the planets were a little just some barren wastelands and a gas giant, so a little disappointed we didn't get to see something a little more colorful!
We got to see the first taste of the "Quantum Drive" and EVA will hopefully be better tuned up for when we want to get out and get up close and personal with something in zero G.
We're so close to being able to explore that large world, and we're looking at ideas to engage people when that happens, find all the Easter eggs you know!
(Yeah that's right Exploration wants AC 2.0 over FPS who would have thought.)
Other than that we have been exploring ArcOrp with everyone else happy to finally get to stretch our legs outside of the hangar for a bit.
Fleet Ops Report
Greetings Imperium,
As summer begins to wind down, August has been a month with a lot of exciting developments for the Operations Division.
The greatest source of our excitement was obviously the Multicrew Demo revealed at GamesCom. While I'm sure that there are a great number of Imperium members that prefer single seat ships, and even more that are excited about the upcoming FPS module, it is no exaggeration to say that the Multicrew Demo was the one thing out of Gamescom that excited us the most. In fact, coordinating complex missions, involving large numbers of Imperium members across multiple ships (of whatever types) is pretty much the reason that Imperium Operations exists!
In other news, I want to call out Doopsums, GreenAvenger, Malagos, and MissionAVS, and lots of other Imperium Members (I'm sorry if I missed your names, but your contributions were still definitely appreciated) who all banded together to help as many Imperium Members as possible reach Level 18 of Vanduul Swarm, achieve the "Aggressor Badge", and purchase Vanduul (Esperia) Glaives. That kind of coordination & teamwork to help your fellow Org members is also part of the reason that the Operations Division was created, and it was awesome to see it in action (even before we have a fully functional "Mission System" available). Side note: If you purchased a Glaive, don't forget to let us know here.
Last but not least, during the month of August the Operations Section for Imperium Manual v2.0 was submitted for review by the Imperium Officers, work continued on mapping out the flow of a mission through the Mission System (which should make it easier for final development), and received word from the tech Division that the System Cards Tool is ready for integration, which will be an important part of the Imperium Mission System going forward.
Look for more information in the coming months as we begin to finalize how the various components of the Mission system will work on the Portal.
Until next month, fly safe!
Imperium Operations Staff
Diplomacy Report
Greetings Imperium members!
All of us in the Diplomatic Division hope that you all have been enjoying the addition of the Diplomacy section to the portal, and have found it quite enlightening. As we have more authorizations for reveals from our friendly organizations, we will add more relationships to the portal in order to make sure our organization members are informed of our relationships. Moving forward we will also be showcasing different organizations with whom we have developed close relationships, and inviting them to come onto our Teamspeak more often to chat with our members. Please be sure to be on your best behavior when you see a person in TS with a "Foreign Dignitary" tag!
As a final note, we are all a bit saddened to have our Senior Diplomat (otherwise known as Diplomatic Specialist) Profess1onalN00b taking an extended leave of absence as he travels to Africa to work for an NGO. We will miss him while he is gone, and will be looking forward to his safe return! Be safe, N00b!
Academy Report
August, two thirds through the year, and a great time to be a Star Citizen.
This month, along with many other Officers, Members and Fleet Command, I ventured into the wilds of Germany to meet up with my Imperium brothers and sisters. A great time was had by all.
And then The CIG Event.
Sweltering heat, no AC, 2000 people crammed into an arena and all of them had armpits. It sounds like torture but we barely noticed as on the stage were Ben and Sandi, to be followed by other CIG seniors and the Roberts brothers.
Were you excited about the joystick unveiling?
Were you excited by the social module?
Were you excited by the Multicrew demo?
If you answer "Fuck yeah" to any or all of these questions you'll have some idea about the atmosphere in the event.
Anyway, to move onto another month in Academy.
This month we continue our work on "Back-end" courses. This won't affect you, unless you're involved in something in the administration of Imperium. I've mentioned them before, but I'm just going to say don't worry about it.
And, just this weekend, Technology surprised me by finally getting Moodle on the server. I was speechless, angry, grateful and humbled.
Thank you Kraan.
Let me explain briefly why this is important.
Moodle will be the basis for the infrastructure of Academy on the server. It isn't Academy, it isn't the Courses, but it is the functionality of delivering and communicating all that information backwards and forwards.
It SHOULD allow us to upload courses.
It SHOULD allow us to monitor your success.
It SHOULD allow us to display your Certifications.
It SHOULD allow us to do so much more.
I'll be spending the next few weeks looking at this system and devising the best way that I can see to make it work for us.
In the meantime, Xeen is still hard at work rolling out Pilot Academy. Furioso is chewing through his keyboard in anticipation of the FPS module. Gratch is still working hard on the Operations side of things.
Lastly I'd like to offer a special thank you to the pilots who helped people in Arena Commander.
I'm going to name and shame only four of them, who reached my ears as being exceptional on that front:
Doopsums (Nub)
GreenAvenger (Earl Grey)
MissionAVS (Bell Sniff)
Malogos (Casual)
They know that there is a special "Reward" on the way to them, and look forward to hearing about that in an announcement soon.
Academy Officer
Intelligence Report
This month has been good to Intel. Aside from the news we can't give you we can announce that Nip is now serving as an Intelligence Officer. If you have any questions about the division, concerns about suspicious behaviour or any other meta related enquiries please feel free to approach him, he won't bite. Aside from the on-going tracking of people who think they are way too smart to be discovered, this is all we have to report at this time.
As always, here is the link to our Suspicious Activity and Notice of Interest forms for those who feel so inclined to assist.
Human Resources Report
Greetings from HR and welcome to this monthly report.
First off, we have a new development. HR is currently working on a proposal for an exciting new position for the StarCitizenBase forums and Imperium. Currently we are undergoing development of the role and making sure we make it as good as we can (including tools on the portal), and hope to have more information for you in the future. Watch this space for further information, but we can say it's exciting and the person who is taking it on can't wait to begin!
As always, one of our jobs is to enforce and rule upon the Imperium Code of Conduct when it comes to member actions in Star Citizen. This jurisdiction extends to Arena Commander and associated modules within the game as it develops. Within Imperium, cheating and exploitation, whether through the use of third party programs or bugs found within the game is highly unacceptable. While using these bugs and exploits on your own server with your own friends is fine, utilizing them to gain an advantage in public matches is not something we condone. Keep in mind that when you are playing Arena Commander/Star Citizen, you are representing Imperium to the wider community. While this is an Alpha, and you are supposed to test for ways to cheat and exploit, be mindful that there are others in the public server who would just like to play the game without those exploits and cheats ruining their experience. If you find a bug or an exploit please report it to CIG. As more modules get launched, if anyone is caught using bugs/exploits to simply win games or get an advantage over other players in public lobbies we will be required to take action.
On to more fun news, we have decided that each month we will have a guest appearance from a member of HR to report upon something they are working on. Our inaugural report comes from Arengorn, and concerns the TS moderator project. Take it away Arengorn.
Hello members of Imperium! This is Arengorn, head of The TS moderators and supreme leader of the Ostridge Kingdom. This month TS has been rather filled with people due to GamesCom, we had an amazing lobby for the Twitch stream that reached over 80 people! Apart from that we're preparing for the FPS release (coming around the same time as Half-Life 3) and the Social Module. If you haven't yet come to our TeamSpeak please join us. The more the better! Also if you feel like you have what it takes to become a TS Moderator please inform a member of the Human Resources team.
Thanks Arengorn. And now…. on to everyone's favorite segment…
The winner of this month's MVP goes to…
GeraldEvans! Gerald worked hard throughout the time leading up to and during the Gamescom event to bring us the latest information regarding the goings-on of CIG at the event. If you missed something at Gamescom, be sure to check out his thread. It's sure to be in there.
Remember: if you see a post from someone that you believe is worthy of getting MVP, be sure to nominate it right away! This is not restricted to Imperium members, so feel free to nominate anyone on SCB you deem worthy.
Don't forget everyone T.H.I.N.K (is it True, Helpful, Inspiring, Necessary, Kind) be cool and see you next month!
Technology Report
Greetings Programs
This month the Tech Division has been completing many of the final pre-requisites for the Mission system as well as making improvements to existing systems – and some UI changes.
Portal has once again had a bit of a face-lift. The old sidebar has been replaced with a categorised header menu – this not only makes a lot more screen space available but also makes it easier to navigate around the site (no more need to open several sub menus to get to where you want to go).
The 'Systems' Module, while not a map in its own right, will provide definitions of the various star systems to be used as waypoints by Mission creators to chart their course. The module will also provide the means of submitting reports concerning current events in that system such as pirate activity or a rich asteroid belt.
The Hangar has been improved to allow for multi-ship packages to be added – so large packs no longer need to be added manually. Additional functionality such as deleting a package and its contents, allowing the Hangar to be seen by Unit members only and additional miscellaneous features will come afterwards.
Ground work for the Academy Moodle is now in place and basic set-up and themes are completed. Tests have begun on its systems and content controls. Once the system functions as expected hooks into IPB and Portal will be coded.
Additionally, some work has been done towards getting Citizens Arena into shape – currently waiting on storyboards and additional content.
Next month we will be focusing on the database and low level systems for the Mission Board and continuing to improve the features of current modules such as Units – specifically we will be revisiting the Rank system and Unit permission management.
Work will also be done to allow for cleaner and easier inter-org usage, allowing users from external organisations to access many of the functions currently reserved for Imperium within a self contained (read: custom themed) environment.
End of Line
Fleet Media Report
Another month passed by like an Origin M50 on afterburners, so we are here again with the Purple report.
As the summer nears its end, the whole Fleet is waking up from seasonal lethargy, including the Media Team, and we are slowly getting back to be active again. The recent big updates for Star Citizen brought a new sparkle to the Verse and much needed fresh air and clearer future for the game we all want to see and play someday.
Media Team is glad to announce that we´ve accepted another new member, who will, or actually already is, helping to improve the visual side of Imperium. @elleesee has been a great help with establishing the new donation system, providing the new assets, and also put together some very nice footage from Gamescom, where we had our members attending. You can see the video here. Big thanks to her and welcome to the Team!
Our Signature delivery system worked the usual way, although a demand is still a bit low. Our dedicated sigmakers have helped another batch of new members to get their shiny new signatures to parade on the forums. Thanks for your contribution guys!
As always, don´t hesitate to contact any of our active Media Team members. If you have any questions, requests or want to help, we are here for you.
If you want to see what we are about, check our public showcase here!
If you are interested to join our ranks, see our recruitment thread here! (challenge is still active even though the main competition is finished)
And again, we appreciate all the support and feedback from all of you, the great community of SCB!
Media Team – Purple Power!

Guido Hibdon began his B.A.S.S. career with a bang, winning the first event he entered (the 1980 Missouri Invitational on Lake of the Ozarks). From there, he only got better, winning four more tournaments before retiring from B.A.S.S. competition in 2000.
Growing up on the deep, clear reservoirs of Missouri, Hibdon naturally developed his skills as a finesse angler and was widely regarded as the best in the business during his tournament career. His sight-fishing methods and skills with a spinning rod, tube jigs and finesse baits changed the way a generation of anglers fished in the spring. He qualified for 10 Bassmaster Classics, winning the 1988 championship on the James River out of Virginia and finishing in the top 10 an impressive six times.
In 1990 and 1991, Hibdon was the Toyota Tundra Bassmaster Angler of the Year, becoming only the second person to win the title in back-to-back seasons (Roland Martin preceded him and Kevin VanDam has done it since). Seven times Hibdon finished in the top 10 of the AOY race; six times he was in the top 5.
Hibdon was inducted into the Bass Fishing Hall of Fame in 2002.
Guido Hibdon and Bobby Murray are teaming up for the Bassmaster Legends tournament taking place July 31 on a private lake in Montgomery, Ala. The event is part of Toyota Trucks All-Star Week, and weigh-in will be before the final of the Evan Williams Bourbon All-Star Championshp.

I enjoyed the movie so much, that I came onto IMDb and registered
myself just so that I can post a review.
The movie was packed with jaw dropping, eye popping action from beginning to end. The drama had a mix of sadness, comedy and seriousness which were all mixed in together so beautifully to give a consistency to keep the viewer starring at the screen and being involved in the movie rather than daydreaming about other things.
In my honest opinion I would say that it is the best Fast & Furious movie to date.
I want to go see it again!
(by the way, I realise that this isn't the best review in the world or might even be an awful review, the point is that I enjoyed the movie thoroughly and felt I should contribute to it's high average ratings).
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Well, color me surprised. The Fast and The Furious has not been a
series known for it's intelligence. Indeed, it's always been big, loud,
and dumb. The original hit the right notes at the time of its release,
appealing to many as a street racing film where few films has treaded
before it. However, it's lackluster sequels failed to deliver. With the
adrenaline rush of the original over and poor writing and acting all
around, the sequels were nothing more than a series of poor imitations
that could never recapture the thrills of the first film. So, it's with
some surprise that Fast Five is arguably the best film in the series.
Fast Five ditches the street racing that made it's name in favor for being a heist film. In this particular case, we pick up right from where we left off, with Dom being busted out of his prison bus. They then flee to Rio where they take on a heist that goes haywire and eventually leads to the penultimate heist of the film. In the meantime, ruthless Agent Hobbs, who specializes in tracking and capturing people, arrives to catch out trio of outlaws. The film does a good job of not wasting any time and most of the serious moments are kept to a minimum in favor of heist scenes or action. And in the action department, the film delivers tenfold. Far bigger, louder, and more exciting than any F&F film before it, action junkies should find themselves thrilled by the impressive set pieces and testosterone-laced mix of car and foot action.
Now, don't get me wrong, this is still a F&F film. This means that the script is still pretty laughable and the acting leaves much to be desired. However, with that said, it's still a bit improved here. Vin Diesel still can't play up emotion very well, making his attempts at the more serious scenes here a bit laughable. Paul Walker doesn't fair much better and, unfortunately, even as a main character takes a back seat to Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson. As action stars though, these three do a great job. In particular, the eventual confrontation between Diesel and Johnson is fantastic, with it being a brutal, WWE-esque rumble. The climactic scene alone is worth the price of admission. Though laughable, it's still an exciting, eye-popping scene that will leave you a little stupefied.
Certainly, you have to suspend much of your disbelief with your film. If you can't do that, you'll just find this entire film laughable and of poor entertainment value. For those who can though, this is a very entertaining film. And for fans, you'll certainly enjoy the film, with a well rounded cast from throughout the entire series coming together to pull off the impossible. It's definitely surprising to see that the fifth film in the series is the best, but I suppose that it's merely the evolution of F&F. With enough money, talent, and by pulling out all the stops, the franchise has finally capitalized on the over-the-top aspects that they had always seemed to go for. Suffice to say, action fans with enough suspension of disbelief will enjoy this immensely.
I've been a personal fan of the F&F series ever since the very first
title was released. Once I saw that Fast Five was in production I
immediately began hunting down a pass for its first showing, I was
successful. Fast Five is everything we all love about the franchise,
fast cars, beautiful women, and of course some nail biting action
Whether you're a long time fan of the movies, or a brand new viewer, this movie is a must see, you're guaranteed to get your moneys worth on this title.
Best movie I have seen in a long time, it even managed to remove the bad taste that was left in my mouth by Tokyo Drift.
This is going to be one of the biggest movies of the year, see it, or be left behind.
Rating- 10/10 -Average Joe
After varying degrees of success with the franchise, My faith that
"Fast 5" could deliver on the hype was waning somewhat. However I am
pleased to say the series has redeemed itself. Fast 5 pulls out all the
stops this time around. It delivers on action, cars, quality acting and
a decent storyline. It explores the character personalities showing
more humor, fear, vulnerability and determination this time around
which gives the movie strength and depth that was missing from previous
Fast n Furious movies.
I found myself laughing out loud a few times at the subtle humor, and leaning forward for the action scenes which are truly amazing.
The Story is not predictable and will keep the surprises coming to the end. The Cast has matured and it shows in the quality of acting over previous F'n'F movies.
Good pace throughout the movie
Decent storyline and plot
Good Cast of actors/ actresses
Imaginative and inventive elements throughout
Plenty of "Wow" moments
Would be nice to have more screen time for the cars
a couple of cheesy moments ( but this adds to the humor of the film)
Overall: Highly recommended film, Just be sure to stay until the end of the credits!
The weather is finally better, people are taking their clothes off all over the place and even though it is still spring time, summer movies are now officially kicking off and ladies and gentleman, we start this summer right with Fast Five. The Fast and Furious franchise is something of an acquired taste, a sort of guilty pleasure that hasn't really been shown the respect it has earned. It isn't known for any of the terms critics love to use when they complain about a movie, like intellectual dialogue, solid characterization or even anything remotely close to a thought provoking plot. No, what it excels in is another term that critics seem to have forgotten about. Popcorn, no that overpriced buttery stuff you get from a concession stand, I'm talking popcorn films! Energetic movies meant to entertain, a good solid waste of time! So what makes a good popcorn film? Well if this question is asked to the future filmmakers of tomorrow one need only to watch Fast Five to see a fine example of how to get it right. Director Justin Lin (who also directed the fast and the furious) makes a huge leap in directorial prowess by showing an incredible eye for action that every other director today should take note at. The man can film ACTION, and you know..In an action movie that's kind of what you want and with that eye brings together an expendables version of the fast and furious franchise starring everyone's favorite fast and furious stars. Dominic Toretto (played by Vin Diesel) and his crew find themselves on the wrong side of the law once again as they try to deal with a drug lord and a federal agent that's hot on their trail. So , um back to talking about the action. It is INNNNcredible. Oh man this is my kind of action, I seriously have not seen this kind of solid , non computer generated action in a very very long time and Justin Lins camera work is top notch. Every shot is deliberate and clean. Oh so good. Aside from the action the other thing that makes this film work is the stars. Everyone from The Rock to Ludicrous play their characters great and have their own moments to shine. While the movie does slow down in the middle to what looks like Ocean's Eleven meets Fast and Furious, the stars are what keep this movie was falling apart. The movie at times felt like a parody of action films, filled with cheesy cliché's that are sometimes so subtle you'll miss it but Linn will toss another scene in there in case you did and often in hilarious ways . The rock is just so great, it's these roles he should be taking, not the flying fairy kind, he's so great in this film I would love to see a spin off with this very character of his, this cocky nonsense guy who just knows everything, and he really does know everything. Frankly, that's the only two things that this movie has going for it. Action and pretty people and in a popcorn film, that's all you need. So this one is easy folks, for those with their noses in the air looking for only citizen Kane caliber films to entertain them, you should know better, you know a fast and furious movie isn't for you. It's a vapid film that would have been unwatchable had it not been for its action and star power. But it pulls off being entertaining. So if you're looking for adrenaline pumping action , seat rumbling roars of the hottest cars , beautiful people looking beautiful even when being shot at then you got yourself the definition of a popcorn film, meant to entertain you in every single way and this is popcorn done right.
As far as franchise films go, The Fast and Furious series seem to be
hitting the ground at top gear, with this installment not showing signs
of slowing down, but prepping a new direction for future films to take,
shifting gears from a film showcasing hot bodies (not solely just car
chassis) and fast nox-enabled cars into the classic heist genre, given
that it had that as its underlying premise from the first film, and now
with a growing ensemble, are ready to give Ocean's Eleven a run for its
Rio De Janeiro provides the backdrop in which this installment takes place in (quite a popular location for films recently too), with the chief villain being Reyes (Joaquim de Almedia), a mobster with a businessman front, with his tentacles of vice and influence extending toward every part of the city. Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel), Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker) and the former's sister Mia (Jordana Brewster) hide out in the city as fugitives having broken Dom en route to prison at the end of Fast and Furious, and with the kind of money available for the taking to start a family of their own with Mia found to be pregnant, they decide to assemble a team, not to pass up the opportunity of robbing Reyes blind.
So in comes a whole host of characters whom we have seen in past films, such as Roman (Tyrese Gibson), Tej (Ludacris), Gisele (Gal Gadot), and even Han (Sung Kang) whom we know what happened to in Tokyo Drift, hence putting the chronology of the films at 1, 2, 4, 5 and 3, which is now sometime in the not so immediate future. Director Justin Lin takes on his 3rd film of the franchise and together with writer Chris Morgan have managed to introduce new elements to surprise audiences and fans up until this installment, keeping with the usual action laden elements, while bringing on new characters into the franchise, this time with Dwayne Johnson coming in as a no nonsense, dogged and persistent FBI operative Hobbs, with an arsenal of technology and attitude to aid him and his team in tracking down Dom and his crew.
And of course who cannot wait to see two tough guys in Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson go one on one with each other in a fisticuffs, especially since their time with family friendly films have taken a backseat to put them both firmly back into the action genre. It sets up new rivalry, while keeping the old between Dominic and Brian with the latter always keen to prove who's the better driver. And like most ensemble films, it's make or break given the character's appeal, and I'm glad to note they share this incredibly chemistry this bunch of highly skilled cons who each bring their know-how to the table in trying to pull off mission frickin' insanity, and everyone possessing a mean driver's license to power souped up vehicles.
And if it's action you're seeking, it's action you'll get in this film too, putting aside the rather rote and superficial theme of family and trust. There's no lack of races and wheels on the roads although I do note that there's not too much of signature cars to go around this time. Even a would be street race was unceremoniously cut off, although we do get it compensated with a four way race down two traffic lights amongst Roman, Dom, Brian and Han which was more of a fair competition since they were all essentially driving the same model. Then there's the big bang finale that you would have seen in the trailer, with Dom and Brian yanking a bank vault and travelling down the streets of Rio at top speed, in what would be a fittingly noisy last act destroying everything, and I mean everything, along their path, that has to be seen in a cinema to enjoy this guilt trip in sense surround glory.
Needless to say I am a fan of the franchise, and am excited about the direction this film would be going even if it would mean limiting the number of cars on the roads, since the film had already shown the potential of that chemistry between the cast and characters, and I'm eagerly anticipating more. From one fanboy and an action junkie to any other, this of course would be recommended fare.
Stay tuned while the end credits roll, and you'll be treated to a stinger that reaffirms and teases what's to come in the next film, with no less than two surprise appearances. But no, with the timeline, it'll take a while before Lucas Black will be able to link up with the guys. For an adrenalin pumping high octane entertaining film outing, Fast Five is that opener to a very noisy and crowded summer season to come.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Making a sequel to a film is never normally a good thing. They excite all the fans of the previous film(s) and then disappoint them with a production that is not better than the original. The same goes for a remake. Some films turn into a series where each film becomes worse this has been the case with the Fast and Furious series. However this fifth film is one that outclasses its predecessors, read on to see why. Fast Five continues where Fast and Furious left off, with Dominic sentenced to 25 years in jail and the bus chase that was seen at the end involving Mia and Brian. The aftermath of their interception was that they managed to break Dom out of custody, dodged every authority, and have fled to Rio de Janeiro (where every Brazilian seems to be portrayed as a gun-toting thug). In order to break free, they attempt to pull off a 100 million dollar heist. It isn't long before they all become a few of the most wanted criminals. Their mission that rips through Brazil sees two on their tail federal agent Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson), who never lets anyone escape and corrupt drug lord Reyes (Joaquim de Almeida) who wants them dead. That's not really a witty plot. And there aren't great performances guided by a witty script either so rule out suspenseful conversations and memorable dialogue. A merit goes to the Dwayne Johnson though he was perfectly cast for his role and shows a lot more of his talky WWE side unlike his last film Faster where he was virtually on mute. But Fast and Furious has never been known for excelling in those aspects of filmmaking. It's known for the action scenes. And what spectacular action scenes there are in Fast Five. It takes it turn to be more of The Expendables instead of the previous films of the series by having a 'men on a mission' plot element and emphasising more on fighting than racing. There's more road rage in here than street racing, and for the record there's even an ex-wrestler versus action hero fight like there was when Stone Cold fist fought Sly Stallone. The first act of the film is fast and furious. It quickly takes the audience on a relentless train ride where we see a train robbery in process. This act quickly builds up a background for the story so the audience knows who, what, when, how and why the team are in Brazil. The second act revolves around the main plot element of the $100 million heist. The film decelerates slightly here when we see the crew plotting. Anyone who would have seen the details of the film beforehand would realise why this lasts over 2 hours, longer than all of the previous films. The 10 minutes after a full two hours weren't really necessary but show us the aftermath of the third act, the hugely thrilling act. Any who feel frustrated at the pace of the second act stay for the climactic scene in the third act. Think of Fast Five as the cinematic equivalent of a mindless muscular athlete. Can't talk a good game but can surely play a good game. We have all met that person, that guy who failed his exams but took the football pitch by storm at high school. Fast Five is as absent minded plain characters and clunky dialogue. But the 'physical' side is where it amazes the action scenes of course. It's like the men behind the camera decided to perfect the action scenes, the plot was secondary. Looking at this year's earlier films The Mechanic and The Green Hornet, it's safe to say that Fast Five has the best action sequences of the year yet, and is the best action film overall so far. Verdict: Forgive the simplicity of the script and get ready for the fastest and most furious ride yet.
This is the film that single-handedly got me to give the rest of the series a shot, for better or worse. It's a nice change of pace from the previous films where it abandons the street race angle (how far could you have taken that anyway?) and goes into the direction of a heist action flick with cars. Dwayne Johnson is a great addition and really adds to the series embracing the goofiness of its premise. So yeah, still the best this franchise had, and that's kind of rare for a franchise on its fifth film. The action for the most part is really handled well and a lot of fun to watch. The cast as an ensemble are very charismatic which no doubt makes it more fun for audiences to see a cast that has so much diversity and it's not done with generic stereotypes but just a bunch of people with a common interest. Overall a very entertaining action flick.
Without a shadow of a doubt, The Fast And Furious Franchise reaches
it's peak in this installment with breathtaking action and a sense of
friendship and brotherhood shared by the lead characters. Vin Diesel
and Paul Walker return and are joined by newcomer Dwayne Johnsson for
the 5th Fast and Furious Movie, entitled ''Fast Five''. There's not
much to say about this, the action movie of the year, except it's
fantastic shots of Brazil, the heist plot that brings even more
excitem«ent to the table and overall the continuation of the story of
these characters we have come to love and support, as their bond
streghtens over time.
In Conclusion, if you love the franchise then you can't miss it
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I had quite high expectations about this movie. And they paid of even
more that I thought.
I thought that getting all awesome guys from previous movies was great idea. Like Han from "Tokyo Drift" alone made this movie much, much better for me just with his appearance. I also very enjoyed Roman's appearance as I really liked him in "2 Fast 2 Furious" (much peoples say it's lame, but I think it was a great entertainment)and he was pretty cool in here too, tough a lil bit too negative. I didn't really remember Gisele and these two Dominicans Tego and Rico. But I guess, they were from "Fast & Furious". I have seen it only once, so I don't really remember any second plan characters. These guys however were great too. I loved these two Dominicans arguing. Now finally about the movie. Well I loved it from first minutes till last seconds. It was full of tense action. Much more than in previous parts. What I didn't like was, that there were no street races in this one. I guess that bit where Han, Dom, Brian and Rom were racing betting 1 million each, can't actually be counted. I also didn't like Vince's appearance. I disliked him at first movie and don't think he was necessary at this one. Dwayne's Johnson's appearance was great too, because I very like some of his movies (Scorpion king, Welcome to the jungle).
The plot. I liked it. It weren't too advanced and some people might call it unrealistic and lame, but, come on, it's an action movie!
In summary I can say, this movie was one of greatest F&F franchise movies, if not the greatest. I hope to see whole gang together also for the next, because mostly that made this movie so awesome. 9/10
