The acronym originally stood for Supreme Headquarters, International Espionage, Law-Enforcement Division. It was changed in 1991 to Strategic Hazard Intervention, Espionage Logistics Directorate. In 2008's Iron Man film, the acronym stood for Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division
The above was cribbed from Wikipedia.
When "Nick Fury:Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D." was created as a comic back in the 1960's, they took their inspiration from the James Bond films and American TV show "Man from U.N.C.L.E" (which stood for "United Network Command for Law and Enforcement").
The cameo at the end was a thrill. It's a fanboy geek dream to see one movie studio have the licensing rights to several properties, with the ability to 'mix and match' the characters of different movies together. Rumor has it that Iron Man has a cameo in a later movie this year featuring a certain green force of destruction...

First, you need a video camera for your footage. I recommend one with a FireWire port if you are using tape.
You need a FireWire port on your PC.
Some video editing software, ie Windows Movie Maker if you are an XP user, or you can spend less than a hundred for Sony Vegas Movie Studio.
I usually convert my movies to wmv format, 500kbps for a tradeoff between compression and quality.
Then, you upload them to You Tube.

What they were allowed : Tonka trucks, Hot Wheels, Match Box Cars, and Tinker Toys. Board Games : Candy Land, Mouse Trap, Scrabble, and Monopoly.
We were also allowed : Hula Hoops, super bubble producing items, and bicycles.
Monopoly: Teaches greed and taking advantage of one's fellow man.
Candy Land: Portrays unrealistic fantasy life, and this fills a young mind with confusion.
Mouse Trap: Actually, this is beneficial for when the child grows up and volunteers at Assemblies. Gets them used to the Rube Goldberg-ian method of how to do food prep and distribution, parking, and literature distribution. Approved game!
Scrabble: Questionable. Words could be used that are direct confict with The Pure Language (tm).
The Game of Life:Portrays a life without subjection to one's Creator, with no room for True Worship, Field Service, or Personal Study. Emphasizes College and making money. Not Approved!
Hula Hoops: Only to a certain age, then at adolescence, these should not be used. The hip gyrations could be seen as a simulation of sexual intercourse, and this would lead to unwholesome thoughts and acts! See article Re:"Is The Twist a Dance for Christians?"
Bicycles: If young single women or wives have access to bicycles, then this would grant them a measure of independence and the means to travel outside the watchful eyes of Fathers and Husbands. Caution must be excercised.
(Please note:I am not making the last one up. When the bicycle became popular in the latter 19th century, it was frowned upon for women to use them, especially from the pulpit, precisely because it gave too much independence to women! No lie!) http://xroads.virginia.edu/~UG02/hendrick/women.html

Reminds me of a line of dialogue from "The Fisher King", where Jeff Bridges is talking to a homeless vet who is panhandling in New York City:
Disabled Veteran: He's payin' so he don't have to look. See... guy goes to work every day, eight hours a day, seven days a week. Gets his nuts so tight in a vice that he starts questioning the very fabric of his existence. Then one day, 'bout quitting time, Boss calls him into the office and says, "Hey Bob, whyncha come on in here and kiss my ass for me, will you?" Well, he says, "Hell with it. I don't care what happens, I just want to see the expression on his face as I jab this pair of scissors into his arm."
[sighs]
Then he thinks of me. He says, "Waitaminit. I got both my arms, I got both my legs. At least I ain't begging for a living. Sure enough, Bob's gonna put those scissors down and pucker right up. See, I'm what you call kind of a "moral traffic light", really. I'm like sayin', "Red! Go no further! Boooo-ee boooo-ee boooo-ee...” -

Response in the US to announcement

One young, zealous brother was thrilled about it! "They (meaning the Gov. Body) know something's going to happen, or they wouldn't be doing this! I'm very excited!"
The PO who read the letter commented after reading "Sometime in the New System, we'll look back and say 'I remember when that announcement was read!' "
Other's are excited for no other reason that they won't have the nuisance of two meetings a week (even though it wasn't phrased like that, the implication was clear...).

Rationales behind Elimination of the Book Study and Likely Effects Thereof
by Olin Moyles Ghost ini realize that the book study news has been discussed ad nauseam, but i would like to join the fun.
lots of potential reasons have been bandied about on the board.
for example, legal liability for crimes/torts that take place at the bookstudy homes may make the society nervous.

Where I live, no school or sport events are scheduled on Wednesday night. Why? Because it seems that every church in town (save one) has their mid week service on Wednesday, and this accomodates the schedule. But the ol' oddball JW's have (or had) their meetings on Tuesday and Thursday, which always creates conflicts for school functions and assignments.
If my congregation would move the meeting to Wednesday as well, then Band functions, sporting events, and other school function could be attended by my family and others at the Hall, guilt free!
