Redemption banners
by Steve Rogerson 12 Mar '01

12 Mar '01

Hi, we have now had some banners (thankyou Louise) made up for people who want to put up links to the Redemption 03 home page. There are two main ones and you can find them both on my home page: http://homepages.poptel.org.uk/steve.rogerson I prefer the one near the top - the animated one - but there is also a still one at the bottom. If you put a link up (the Redemption addy is in my sig), let me know and we'll put one back to you from the Redemption links page. If you prefer for me to email you the banner rather than you grabbing it, let me know and I'll do so. -- cheers Steve Rogerson http://homepages.poptel.org.uk/steve.rogerson Redemption 03, 21-23 February 2003, Ashford, Kent The 25th Anniversary Blake's 7 Convention The 10th Anniversary Babylon 5 Convention http://www.smof.com/redemption

Calle's webpage caption says: >Kosh is bowling to Orac, I think. Of course not, Kosh is the wicket-keeper. Lyta was bowling to Zen, with Jenna the non-striker. As Zen didn't last very long in the first innings, which was when the picture was taken, this fixes it in the 11th over (a bad one for Kosh, who let through two byes). The Blake's XI total is somewhere between 48 for one and 55 for one. Marisu Official Scorer

Speaking as a former pretty close example of such a child, I truly wish that some kind person had had the foresight to show me something explicit ... any message being better than no message. Getting handed the keys to life aged 17 with no message whatsoever about sex, drugs, &c&c was not one of the most useful experiences. I know that this is just one atypical example, but could be considered the opposite extreme to Cheryl's hypothetical case. Tavia

Re: [B7L] Species

Dana wrote: >To the best of my knowledge, "Auronar" is a plural noun, >"auronae" (like "sapiens" in a species name) is an adjective. Of what declension and case? If Latin, it looks like either a genitive singular or a nominative plural, whereas sapiens is a nominative singular. Admittedly, -ar is hardly a Latinate plural, but, if you're trying to produce an adjective to attach to homo, I don't think there's much choice of language. I will buy Neil's H.auronensis. Jarriet

I'm sorry, Neil, if this sounds offensive in the light of the resent discussion, held on the Lyst ;-) , but aren't these suggestions of yours purely in the FC' sphere of interest? <<"Neil Faulkner" <N.Faulkner(a)tesco.net> wrote: Servalan does it in high heels. Tarrant does it at the speed of light. Avon does it in black leather. Vila does it without you even noticing. Soolin doesn't do it, she just shoots you instead. Gan would probably do it if the scriptwriters ever gave him the chance. Travis does it with his finger. Blake does it for a good cause. Orac does it eventually but complains a lot first. Zen does it on the wall.

In a message dated 3/11/01 6:34:18 PM Eastern Standard Time, ijc(a)bas.ac.uk writes: << Just because you get up on a stage, or in front of a camera, doesn't mean you sign away your rights as a private human being. Duplicating a framegrab is simply making an unauthorised copy of a performance: unlawful, but in this context hardly a great crime. Using that likeness to create pictures of that person doing a performance which they would most likely be unwilling to do is overstepping the mark. >> I do not know the copyright laws of the UK. I do know something about the laws here in the USA, though, and yes, to some degree the performer does sign away their rights when it comes to having photos taken (although certainly not DURING a performance if it is prohibited by the management) of them and artwork done of them. In the case of photos, for instance, taken in public or at public events (such as conventions), the copyright belongs to the photographer, not to the actor (or public figure... the same is true for politicians, sports figures, etc.). The actor has nothing to say about the photographer selling that photo. In the case of original artwork, the artist owns the copyright, not the public figure. Annie
