Take Things Slow[edit]
There's no reason to rush around the Capital Wasteland. In fact, rushing around is likely going to get you killed, or at the very least remove much of the fun brought by the immersive experience offered in Fallout 3. Take it all in. Walk around aimlessly, look at everything, and talk to everyone. Find every location, explore every tunnel and vault, and kill every enemy (or friend) that you encounter. Only after you've done all of that (and more) have you truly experienced Fallout 3, and by rushing through the game, you'll end up missing a great deal of it.
Arm Yourself For the Occasion[edit]
With so many weapons available to you in the game, there's no reason to keep yourself armed with the same items time and time again. The fact is, some weapon types simply aren't that effective against certain enemy types. But beyond that, ammunition is a precious, precious commodity in Fallout 3. You don't want to rip through it all, especially through all of one type of ammo, because you never know when you'll need it. Generally, weaker enemies you know you can take should be taken out with melee weapons that don't use ammunition. But for stronger enemies, like Super Mutant Behemoths, wasting 10mm ammo is really not a wise idea, especially when you might just have Missiles or Mini-Nukes sitting around for just such an occasion.
Conserve Ammo[edit]
We've said it above, but it's worth repeating -- ammunition is a rare, valuable commodity. While it's not technically finite in the game, it can be extremely hard to come across (an interesting survival horror twist to the shooter-RPG that is Fallout 3). Don't go around shooting things with no reason, as it's simply not worth it, so firing your 10mm pistol in the air to celebrate that new perk may cost you in the long run. Constantly utilizing V.A.T.S. to aim carefully at your enemies is probably the best way to make sure that fired ammunition doesn't get wasted.
Conserve Meds[edit]
Much like ammunition, medication should be conserved as much as possible. Don't go around stabbing yourself with Stimpaks for fun, because they're expensive and sometimes hard to come around. Instead, risk radiation poisoning and eat some foodstuffs (you can often find meat on enemies you've killed, especially monstrous ones). The same goes for radiation meds, such as Rad-X and RadAway. Avoid useing them when you're only mildly radiated. Instead, consider going to a clinic and getting cleaned up that way, so that when you need those Stimpaks or Rad-X treatments during a firefight or when in a tough spot, you'll have them to rely on.
Sleep Where You Can[edit]
The best and more desirable way to heal yourself is to sleep. You can't sleep in beds that you don't own, but you're going to come across plenty of beds that you can use as you play. Remember where those beds are and use them when you're in their vicinity in lieu of visiting a clinic or using valuable medicine. And if you encounter a bed during gameplay, say at a Raider compound, clear it out and then sleep in the bed to heal yourself. Those Raiders did own the bed… but they're dead now, aren't they? This is a good way of saving caps and meds, but remember, sleeping doesn't heal radiation poisoning.
Never Pass Up Experience[edit]
The maximum level your character can reach in Fallout 3 is 20, but that doesn't mean you're going to get there quickly. Quite the opposite is true, actually -- getting to level 20 is a true challenge, and you're going to need to use all of the experience-earning opportunities you encounter to get there. If you see a computer terminal to hack, hack it. Even if it generates a pesky and useless Protectrons, kill the Protectron for even more experience. See where we're going? Experience can be found everywhere, and you never, ever want to pass it up. Kill every enemy you encounter, pick every lock, hack every computer, and locate every location. You'll be all set with experience if you do all of that regularly.
Collect & Sell[edit]
There are so many inconsequential, useless items in Fallout 3 that it's a wonder Bethesda managed to fit them all in. Some are seemingly useless but actually have some sort of use, but many of them, like Bent Tin Cans and Empty Soda Bottles will boggle your mind as to their use. Collect what goods you can, especially if you can quickly get back to a settlement to trade them off for money. The more you can collect and sell, the more Bottle Caps can be earned, thus the more you can purchase. Don't hesitate to collect what you can, but keep in mind that you'll become encumbered if you collect too much! Generally, rampant collecting should only be done when you're not in the middle of a quest to avoid just such an issue.
Use Points Wisely[edit]
Since you can only level-up to a finite degree, you don't want to waste your Skill Points. You really need to think about how they can best be used when you're presented with them in between each leveling-up sequence. The biggest mistake you can make is to distribute them evenly. Avoid this tempting pitfall in lieu of buffing-out some of your most-used attributes. If you're not hacking many computers, why put anything into that skill? If you don't use melee attacks, then don't bother putting points there. Put the points where they count, because you'll only have so many of them, and once they're used, they're gone forever.
We can't stress this enough -- explore. Washington D.C. and the surrounding environment are vast, and the game's main quest won't even scratch the surface as far as places that you can visit. Much of the fun in Fallout 3 can be derived from aimlessly traveling and searching for new locales, seeing how far you can get before you run into enemies that are just too strong for you to handle. This is the best, most pristine way you can enjoy Fallout 3 and take it all in. Just explore. Once an area is discovered, you can always teleport back there later, so populating your map with markers for instant teleportation is a great idea, and one that can only be done with rampant exploration.
Save Often[edit]
The game auto-saves like it's going out of style, but you'll want to create a bunch of your own save files as you go. This is extremely important, believe it or not, and that's because of the permanence of your choices in the game. If a situation doesn't pan out the way you wanted it to because of choices you made (such as running into Megaton and trying to kill everyone), you can override your auto-save and start from a fresh save to try things a different way. The permutations presented to you in Fallout 3 necessitate such an approach. Otherwise, choices made become permanent, and while that might be a realistic approach to the game, the fact is it could ruin an otherwise awesome experience. Consider saving, and consider saving often. If you can spare the extra MB always save twice as you don't want to get a corrupt save file by accident.

Economist: Fed Needs To See Broader Growth
BNP Paribas North America Chief Economist Julia Coronado points out that while several sectors of the economy have seen recovery, there must be a broader recovery for the Federal Reserve to find comfort that the recovery is strong. Photo: AP

Florida A&M University has offered $300,000 — the maximum it says it can offer without state legislative action — as a settlement to the family of Robert Champion Jr., the drum major who died after a hazing ritual last year, a university attorney said Thursday.
But the family's attorney, Chris Chestnut, said that the offer is an insult, and that the family will not consider it.
The offer, filed in Florida circuit court, aims to settle a lawsuit that Champion's family filed against the school's board of trustees in July.
"FAMU has offered the Champions the absolute maximum amount allowable by law," FAMU attorney Richard Mitchell said. "Anything more would require a special act approved by the state legislature.
"It is our hope that this settlement will be accepted and can in some way help in the healing process for the Champion family and the entire FAMU community."
Champion, 26, died in November 2011 following being beaten on a bus in Orlando, Florida, after a football game at which the school's famed marching band performed.
The hazing was part of a ritual known as crossing the bus, an initiation process in which pledges attempt to run down the center aisle from the front door of the bus to the back while being punched, kicked and assaulted by senior members, band members have said.
A medical examiner's office ruled his death a homicide and said Champion "collapsed and died within an hour of a hazing incident during which he suffered multiple blunt trauma blows to his body." An autopsy found "extensive contusions of his chest, arms, shoulder and back" as well as "evidence of crushing areas of subcutaneous fat."
Fourteen people have been charged criminal hazing in the case. One of them, a student, pleaded no contest and was sentenced last month to six months of community control (requiring he document his comings and goings, and request permission for any trips), two years of supervised probation and 200 hours of community service.
In addition to suing FAMU's board of trustees, it has sued the company that owns the bus in which the abuse occurred, and the driver of the bus.
In September, FAMU responded to the lawsuit by filing court documents saying that the institution was not responsible for Champion's death. The school asserted Champion broke the law and school policies when he willingly took part in the hazing that left him dead.

Birmingham's Townsend Hotel is lightening up.
A full renovation of all 150 suites and guest rooms is underway, said Steven Kalczynski, the hotel's managing director.
Moving on are heavier draperies and darker colors, replaced by a palette of soft neutrals – khaki, gold and alabaster. The design team at Franklin-based Perlmutter-Freiwald Inc., led by Daniel Clancy, took on the work.
The company wanted to create "comfortable, soothing environments," they shared. "The rooms also had to exhibit an international design flair that displayed classic good taste."
Workers are beginning the changes in the rooms now, and management forecasts the redo will be done by the first half of 2015.
The hotel's ballroom, which accommodates 500, is also being renovated with new carpet, wallpaper, drapery and paint.
The Rugby Grille, a 65-seat restaurant off the lobby, was remodeled last year. The lobby, too, was updated over the summer of 2012.
Staff do not discuss the cost of revamping the 26-year-old hotel but are upbeat.
"Business has been quite good," said Kalczynski. "It's an exciting time to be in Detroit and Birmingham area. The auto companies' upturn is affecting all of us."
A new chef, Drew Sayes, came aboard in November, 2012. He's added prix fixe menu that changes weekly.
The privately owned, 4-star, 4-diamond hotel in downtown, opened in 1988 and expanded in 2000, is known for its world-class luxury and clientele.
A brief tour of the new rooms reveals plush furniture, marble bathrooms, thick terrycloth bathrobes waiting on hangers, Egyptian cotton sheets, downy pillow and a 13-inch top on the mattresses. See a photo gallery of the hotel.
"They are very comfortable," said Kalczynski, smiling.
Can't stay there? Take a break and enjoy afternoon tea, served five days a week in the lobby. Enjoy the European teas, finger sandwiches, hot hors d'oeuvres, rich scones with clotted cream and fresh fruit preserves.
The hotel is located at 100 Townsend Street, Birmingham, MI 48009. Call 248.642.7900. Toll Free: 800.548.4172

At this rate, Windsor will be giving West Hartford, Glastonbury and Middletown a run for their money in the destination-dining department. I say this after visiting the newly relocated and re-opened Dorothy & Leroy's, a southern/soul food restaurant with Cajun touches. (Add soul food to the list of good barbecue, diners, Indian restaurants, bakeries and breakfast spots in the area.)
Fans of vegetable plates may recall that there was a Dorothy & Leroy's in Bloomfield, which closed a few years back. I was happy to see the name return and eager to chow on some southern fare, washed down with sweet tea. Often, when restaurants relocate and reopen it's in conjunction with an expansion. But that's becoming less the case these days, and that's probably good.
Following the fiscal crunch of the economic collapse of 2008, many restaurants folded. And some are only just now starting to come back to life or try a chance at resurrection. (I recently visited MMumbai Spice in Rocky Hill, a sort of scaled-back mostly take-out version of what was once the much larger Ambassador of India.)
The new Dorothy & Leroy's is similarly slimmed down to fighting weight. There are about seven booths in the little restaurant. (Windsor restaurant-goers will remember this as the former home of The Whistle Stop Cafe, a restaurant that has made the reverse journey from small to big in recent years.) Rustic touches abound — quilts, old kitchen utensils and a dark vintage-barn-style paneling in the dining room. The tables have glass tops over intricate doily cloths. Joyful gospel plays on the stereo. Not the old-school gospel of Mahalia Jackson or Marion Williams, but contemporary gospel, fueled with R&B touches, synth, slap bass and plenty of backbeat. This is a living tradition, and I guess I saw a connection to the food, which has ties to a venerable history, but which isn't trapped in amber or stuck in the past. Which isn't to say that you'll find a lot of radically re-imagined classics or quirky twists on standards. Who wants nouvelle meatloaf anyway?
Dorothy & Leroy's serves barbecue, fried fish, pork chops, veggies, fried chicken, and Cajun dishes like etouffee, jambalaya and po' boys. There's an extensive list of pies and cakes, the availability of which change throughout the week.
An order of smothered fried chicken, one of the daily specials, was deeply satisfying, slathered with sauted onions and peppers, and savory brown gravy. Most entrees come with two sides, with a list of fried okra, mac 'n' cheese, potato salad, slaw, cabbage, black eyed peas, collard greens, green beans, fries, rice, salad and more to choose from. Back to that chicken: Many would view the whole point of fried chicken to be in crunchy exterior. And that is slightly masked or lost when the chicken is doused in gravy. That's all true, to a degree, so I can't fully vouch for the crackly crispness of the chicken, but there were suggestions of crunch mingled with the thick gravy, which added to the dish's comfort-food charms.
The flavors of southern cooking and soul food (terms that tell you more about who's cooking than what they're cooking with) are not generally assertive or flamboyant, at least at first. One of the trademarks of excellent southern cooking is a skill with the most basic, but oft-misused, seasonings: salt and pepper. (Some have expressed concern about the sodium-heavy nature of these cuisines and the possible health effects when eaten regularly.) Talk to any chef and they'll tell you that the secret to good cooking is knowing how to use and balance salty flavors, fats and acids. Southern cooks lay down that salty bass note confidently and the flavors of the other ingredients tend to shine from there. Liberal use of vinegar-heavy hot sauce is a popular way of adding on those high-contrast accents after the fact.
Sides of green beans, mac 'n' cheese, and collards didn't necessarily require hot sauce, but they were all livened up with its color, heat and acidic jolt. The beans and greens were tender. The mac 'n' cheese was cheesy and creamy, but not overly dense or gooey.
I had ordered an extra third side, and this was plenty for a grown man to eat, but the prospect of pie inspired me to clean my plate and plow ahead. There was no pecan when I stopped in, so I opted for sweet potato pie, which, if you've never had it, is not much different from pumpkin pie in terms of sweetness and spices. But I find the texture to be more satisfying. This was overkill, the good kind.

It's safe to say the outcome of the June 5 Republican Party primary election in Mills County will go a long way in determining who gets elected to the positions of county auditor, county sheriff and a pair of seats on the board of supervisors in the November general election. That's because the Democratic Party will have no candidates for these offices on its primary election ballot.
There wasn't a big line. In fact, there was no line. But Tim O'Connor still wanted to be the first one in it.
O'Connor was the first Glenwood resident to seek and be granted a permit to drive his golf cart on Glenwood's residential streets last week. Last October, Glenwood's City Council approved an ordinance to allow citizens to operate golf carts on city streets, with a vehicle safety check and a special permit.
The new ordinance goes into affect April 1.
Making note of the tornadoes and severe weather that has already caused substantial damage in the South and other areas of the Midwest this year, Gov. Terry Branstad urged Iowans on Monday to begin preparing for the upcoming severe weather season.
Branstad said Iowans should have a plan in place for potential severe weather. He also encouraged Iowa residents to put together emergency kits containing items like food, bottled water and first-aid supplies.
Branstad's recommendations are echoed by Mills County Emergency Management Coordinator Larry Hurst.
A Pacific Junction mother whose daughter was bitten by a dog that had recently bitten a neighbor is wondering why Mills County isn't doing more to prevent vicious dog attacks.
Mills County does not have any criminal statutes for vicious animals or dog bites currently on the books.
It's been a smooth transition for employees at Mills County Public Health (MCPH) as they get settled in at their new location on the campus of the Glenwood Resource Center.
In January, MCPH made the short move across campus to a four-level building at 212 Independence. The building previously housed offices for the Area Education Agency.
Mayor Kimberly Clark has proclaimed a snow emergency for the City of Glenwood.
With this proclamation no person shall park, abandon or leave unattended any vehicle on any public street or City-owned parking lot, other than designated overnight parking areas.
The snow emergency parking ban shall continue from its proclamation through the duration of the snowstorm and the 24-hour period after cessation of such, or until the snow is plowed or removed from such areas.
State legislators Hubert Houser, Greg Forristall and Richard Anderson began their Mills County farewell tour Saturday morning by participating in the Glenwood Area Chamber of Commerce's first legislative coffee of the year. The three Republican lawmakers are in their final year of representing Mills County before new legislative boundaries go into effect next January.
MALVERN - Concerns about fertile farm soil being sold and removed from private property northwest of Malvern has the Mills County Board of Supervisors reviewing land use policies and considering changes to ordinances that could result in tighter restrictions being placed on the sale and removal of farm ground in the future.
A rural Malvern man will not face criminal charges for shooting a burglar at his residence last summer.
Mills County Attorney Eric Hansen said after viewing evidence and hearing testimony in late December, a Mills County Grand Jury made the decision not to indict 66-year-old Don Hopp.
The new year begins with the absence of a familiar face at Glenwood City Hall.
Allan Christiansen, a staple on the Glenwood City Council for more than two decades, has stepped down from his seat.

It's bad enough that the Steelers currently seem to be as bad as they've been in more than two decades. On top of the issues with football talent, the Steelers don't have the cap space to make fixes on the fly.
As they try to change a flat tire of a moving car, the Steelers have had to also pour more gas in the tank. Of a moving car.
In the wake of a Week One injury debacle, tight end Heath Miller agreed to a restructured contract, as reported by Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Per a league source, the deal gives the Steelers an extra $1.5 million in cap space, reducing Miller's 2013 cap number from $7.96 million to $6.46 million.
The Steelers accomplished the move by paying him $3 million of his 2013 base salary now, as a signing bonus. That pushes half of the guaranteed payment into 2014.
Which means that, come 2014, the Steelers will have an even bigger cap mess. Miller's cap number for the next league year has gone up by $1.5 million, pushing it to $9.46 million.
It's one of many contracts bloated by restructurings that the Steelers will have to deal with in the offseason, when the car finally stops rolling and they decide how many more pieces they'll need to replace.
But the move became necessary given the Week One season-ending injuries to center Maurkice Pouncey, linebacker Larry Foote, and running back LaRod Stephens-Howling. The Steelers desperately needed the cap space to sign replacements.
Eventually, they'll have to start getting rid of recognizable names. Based on how this season could go, Steelers fans probably won't be all that upset about it.

The Niagara County Department of Health's Animal Response Team will participate at the Heart of Niagara adoption event July 14 at Blackwinds Pet Supply, 2494 Military Road, Niagara Falls.
The main adoption event is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Akron Canine Rescued Angels will showcase pets needing adoptive homes. Event organizers will sell hot dogs and refreshments to support the care of rescued animals awaiting adoption. From 2 to 4 p.m., the Niagara County CART will scan cats and dogs for identification while veterinarian, Dr. Kristen Ruest of the Village Vet of Lewiston, volunteers her services to insert microchips.
The microchip insertion is free to low-income families that cannot otherwise afford the service. The microchip insertion includes a free lifetime enrollment into the National Animal Recovery Database. The Niagara County Department of Health obtained the free scanner and the animal microchips through separate American Kennel Club Companion Animal Recovery and Homeland Security grants.
For questions about eligibility for free microchip insertion, contact Elaine Roman at 716-439-7436 or Elise Pignatora at 716-439-7431.

Trying to find an anime title that I forgot earlier.
Well I lost what the anime's title was called, but I can give a general description. It's about this girl who dreams of a prince with her ideal characteristics. Pretty much her "ideal" guy. When she goes to school one day that "ideal" person actually shows up as some transfer student that has all the characteristics she imagined within her dream, and what is even more is intresting is that her prince is attracted to her. It was classified as a romance anime, and I believe the setting was a high school scenario. This prince evidently has a bunch of girls gaping at him, but yet he is unintrested. Ah and yet another thing I remember is this mysterious girl that the protagnist meets on top of the school roof, and vanishes into thin air later. Can anyone tell me the title of this?

Might I suggest trying this thread? Probably fits better, and even if you don't have a pic they generally can help you find it.
That said, while I don't know what anime it is, I seem to remember reading a synopsis of an anime very recently that sounded like that. I think I got the name from a suggestion thread here, so maybe read through the recent ones and see if a name jumps out at you?

Okay guys here we go:
I work at fry's electronics, and during our sale one of our really nice TV's had an anime playing on blu-ray. The scene I saw was a festival-parade down a huge city with skyscrapers. The camera did zoom in on some anime people and some of them were kind of raggy, like a piece of cloth covering their mouth. The parade looked a bit religious with a huge statue being carried across town at one point.
It was super hi-def blu-ray and I didnt get the chance to get the name because it was taken off the second time I walked past the video section and I was so busy during the sale I never got the chance to ask

^ The above makes me think of the parade scene in the movie Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence. Though, I've no idea if it's available in hi-def... I've just got it on poor old DVD.
EDIT: Check these snapshots to see if it was GitS: 1, 2, 3, 4

Okay guys I think I might be asking for something pretty obscure here. Many years ago my older brother asked for some anime at a local library. The librarian then disappears in the back for an hour and comes out with a VHS tape and says "I think this is all we have in regards to 'anime'." On this VHS tape were two separate self contained stories of various lengths, they looked like they may have been from the 80s. The first one was a story about a blind shamisen (or maybe it was a biwa) player. One day he performs for a group of people who he is later told were ghosts from a local grave (he thought he was playing in a house but was actually performing in front of a grave, spirits were circling above his head), and that they were coming for his soul. Some local priests write prayers all over his body, but forget his ears. One of the ghosts returns that night for him, but can only see his ears. He rips them off and takes them as proof that he looked for him.
The second story was called like "The Theater of Life" or something and was only about 5 minutes long. It was about a man relating a brief story from his childhood of some girl he knew or something (it looked like it took place early 1900's Japan or maybe even sometime in the 1800's but I could be completely wrong about this). This may have been a part of a series, because it was very short and had no real conclusion.
Does anyone know what these shows were?
Edit: I may have found something about the first story here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnIQl5CZRr8

Cat lover
This dress screams crazy cat lover! You know I'm such a cat lover and I want everything cat related, so when I saw this adorable print I had to get it, even if I was really in doubt for the lenght and shape of the dress, really unsual for me especially 'cause I'm really tiny, but now I LOVE it. The dress has such an otome kei feeling mixed with a vintage touch, I never imagined I would love something like this! Discovering something totally new for me and falling in love with it is one of my faverite things in fashion. The rest of the look is quite simple but I tried to mantain the vintage feeling wearing suede boots and this large hat, the only modern item is the lace choker with the tiny pearls all around (I got it in a random shop in Harajuku so I don't know where you can find it). I hope you like this look as I do :D

If you're looking for a fireplace but don't have room for a chimney, here's a hot-looking unit from German designer Peter Maly. Part of the Sieger Design Fireplace Collection, the Plaza Ventless Fireplace can be installed in a free-standing configuration or mounted on a wall, and burns a unique alcohol gel that radiates heat without all that pesky, life-draining carbon monoxide. We've used this alcohol gel stuff in a ventless fireplace similar to this, and although the flame isn t as bright as that of natural gas or good old wood logs, it's still a pleasing effect, and gives off an aroma that reminds you of sterno burning under the steam table at a country club buffet. No pricing information is forthcoming, but if you have to ask, you probably can't afford it.

Credit Cards-Yes
Average Price - 900/- (Without Alcohol) plus taxes (VAT, Service Tax) and 10% Service charge
Alcohol - Yes (Beverage Menu attached below)
Try asking many a seasoned foodie about Nepalese, Bhutanese or Tibetan food in Delhi and chances are you will only hear them say Momos or maybe Thukpa, thanks to an overflow of eateries and roadside stalls selling these. But the cuisine from the Himalayan states is much more than Momos and much, much tastier. And it took me a visit to Yeti, the Himalayan restaurant in Hauz Khas village complex to discover it.
Now this visit to Yeti almost didn't happen. Personally, my experience with the Hauz Khas complex hadn't been to great before Yeti. Till last year, I had never been to the Hauz Khas Village side and my friend and ex-colleague Mojo (yup that's what we call him) got me to visit the Complex for the first time. Mojo is a foodie when it comes to eating out and knowing the best places to grab a bite in Delhi or having a nice drink. So, when Mojo volunteered to take me to this great restaurant that he knew, I jumped and grabbed on this opportunity. We went to this shack of a place on the rooftop and I ended up having the spiciest of food at prices I wouldn't call Value for Money. Apparently the place was a big hit with the expat population and as I roamed around Hauz Khas Village, I found that the entire place was full of the snooty so called chic crowd looking for ethnic pieces which had driven almost everything sky high on price. Burnt Tongues and a bad stomach made me vow never to step inside the complex again. A few months and one Old Delhi Nihari visit later, Mojo and I decided to go to Hauz Khas Village complex again. This time we decided on Yeti. I expected the worst and how wrong I was. This 50 cover restaurant is an experience waiting to unfold and take you on a journey to the Himalayan Kingdoms via the culinary route. Last Sunday, I took my better half, kids and my old college buddy Abhineet and his family. We had a blast stuffing ourselves with food and each dish elicited more oohs! and aahs! than the previous one.
Yes, they do have momos on the menu (Thukpa too) and much more. As you are seated, your steward serves you with a complimentary starter of fried chickpeas tossed in spices and also places two bowls of chutney, one absolutely fiery red one full of chillies and an orange one which is less spicy but spicy for sure.
We ordered the veg snacks platter (300/-) which consists of Wai Wai Sadeko (dry wai wai noodles- a brand of noodles, tossed with onion, tomato, green chillies and lemon) , Aloo Sadeko (sauteed potatoes marinated in tangy Nepali spices) and Bhuteko Chana (Stir fried chickpeas in Nepalese spices). This is served with Tingmo (steamed Tibetan Bread) and chutney. If you want you can order these starters separately, but I just order the platter as I loved each one of them and the Tingmo has been a revelation. Apparently, they serve Tingmo with everything, and it goes just great with the spicy food.
For us meat lovers, we ordered the Shapta (300/-) which is thinly sliced buff (buffalo for the uninitiated) sauteed with onion, garlic and spices served with tomato and greens and a plate of Gyuma - Tibetan Sausages (350/-). Gyuma are the finest things I have tasted in a while now. Buff sausages wrapped in membrane and fried till they are crispy and yet retain their solid bite, they are the perfect accompaniment to cold beer. They were perhaps the reason Abhi and I had a few pints extra. And oh yes! we did order chicken momos (250/-) too, which I found a little tough and below standard. All these starters except the momos come with tingmo, so you can stuff yourself with more bread.
Our main course consisted of Kokra Ko Ledo - Chicken curry (350/-). We ordered plain rice (100/-) with it and this aromatic and delicate curry goes so well with plain rice. We also ordered crispy fried spinach (250/-) and it was heavenly, melt-in-your-mouth, like no one has ever done before preparation. Now please be sure to order "crispy" fried spinach and not fried spinach. We ordered fried spinach (thinking it to be crispy) and all we got was a blanched tossed spinach preparation that tasted bitter. We pointed this out to our server and he promptly replaced it with the heavenly dish I wrote about a few lines earlier.
The service was good and the setting neat. The portion sizes are huge and considering the cost per dish it is not only a value for money but a steal. Be sure to book in advance, if you plan to visit during the weekend as this place has a huge waiting, especially during Lunch hours on weekends. We booked an hour in advance and we still had to wait for 15 odd minutes. Luckily the place is open throughout the day, so you can always land up for brunch or late lunch. Believe me you will not be disappointed ... I haven't been on three occasions...and going by Abhineet and Suparva's look, they weren't either :)
Note: They have apparently also opened an outlet in Malviya Nagar, I haven't gone there so I cannot comment on how much their standards are compared to the Hauz Khas outlet and this review shouldn't be taken as a blanket review for all Yeti outlets.

Not that getting Jose Reyes back would've made any difference for this year, but the news of his scar tissue definitely puts a seal on the season for me. Let's face it, he's not coming back.
In light of this, the Mets should be start to become proactive on looking ahead to next season. Who does or doesn't play should be determined by the blueprint for 2010.
Shutting down Carlos Beltran should also be seriously considered. Let him fully recover and not risk further injury.
I would also see what players I might swing a waiver deal for. Carlos Delgado? Gary Sheffield? Sean Green? Luis Castillo? If you know you're not going to keep them, you might as well start stocking up for the future.
Starting Bobby Parnell isn't a bad idea, especially since you know Jon Niese might not be ready for spring training to compete for a spot in the rotation. I might even consider using Oliver Perez out of the bullpen to get an idea what he could do in that role. Let's face it, he's not doing it as a starter. If they can learn something now, it better helps in their planning.
I'd also start thinking about spring training with whatever prospects are on the minor league level. If there's somebody down there the organization is considering letting compete for a spot in the spring call them up now for a look-see. Why wait until Sept.1? And, it's not exactly like the minor league franchises are competing for anything down there.
What is there to lose? After all, the season is already all but lost.

I don't know if playback controls is the right term, but here's the problem:
I currently have 5 active podcasts in my library. In the list of episodes, if an episode has been downloaded, there is usually a set controls to the left of the episode that allow for "Play", "Play Next", and "Play Last". I've noticed that as time goes on (especially after a screen refresh), those play controls disappear, and make it impossible to play the podcasts in the web interface.
Below is a screenshot showing an entry where there are no controls, even when the episode is marked as "complete", which I take means it's been downloaded, as opposed to "skipped".
Here's an example of an entry that still has the playback controls:
In the various clients (mobile or even Jamstash), the episodes are able to be played.
EDIT: It looks like the DB gets out of whack with reality when the download gets aborted for any reason. Even if the download fails, the database gets updated to show the download succeeded. It also seems like the controls only show up when the file is physically there instead of based on the database, but download decisions are only made based on the status in the database, meaning the two can get out of sync.

Bullpen provides no relief for D-backs vs. Brewers
PHOENIX -- Brandon McCarthy has struggled to keep his team in the game for much of this season.
He has often been on the bad end of big innings, and his 1-9 record entering Monday's series opener with the Brewers showed that.View Full Game Coverage
PHOENIX -- Brandon McCarthy has struggled to keep his team in the game for much of this season.
He has often been on the bad end of big innings, and his 1-9 record entering Monday's series opener with the Brewers showed that.View Full Game Coverage
McCarthy did nearly everything right in this one, keeping the D-backs within striking distance for all seven innings he pitched, but it wasn't enough -- he left the game with the same record with which he'd entered.
Despite the strong pitching effort, the D-backs fell, 9-3, after giving up six late-game runs.
"You'd like to take over a game right from the beginning, whether it's get a couple of runs or just shut it down all the way through," McCarthy said. "Whatever it is, you just want to be part of the team winning, and that's the most difficult thing about this."
McCarthy's stretch of the game was the reverse of a problem he has faced much of this season.
McCarthy has often set down the opposing team's offense in short order his first time through the lineup before struggling in the middle innings.
On Monday the opposite was true.
McCarthy gave up two runs in the second inning and another in the third. It looked as though he could be in for another early exit, but he settled down after that, giving up no runs from the fourth through the seventh innings, keeping the score tied at 3 for most of the game.
But it was after McCarthy left that the D-backs ran into trouble.
Reliever Joe Thatcher set down the two batters he faced in the eighth inning, and manager Kirk Gibson turned to Will Harris to finish the inning. Harris struggled mightily with his command, issuing eight balls and only one strike to the first two hitters he faced. He stayed in the game after pitching coach Mike Harkey visited the mound, but the staff's trust in him didn't pay off -- he gave up back-to-back RBI hits to Aramis Ramirez and Khris Davis, giving the Brewers a three-run lead.
"We had it set pretty good right there," Gibson said. "It didn't work out."
After the middle of their batting order could not produce runs in the bottom of the eighth, the D-backs again ran into two-out trouble.
Elian Herrera doubled and tried to steal third. He was called safe, and the umpiring crew reviewed the call. After a long delay, the call on the field stood. Gibson ran out to argue, and crew chief Ted Barrett quickly ejected him -- the eighth ejection of Gibson's career.
"It was clear and convincing on our scoreboard that his foot came off and his back foot was not on there, and that [third baseman Martin Prado] had the tag on his helmet," Gibson said.
"That should not be missed, in my opinion."
If the call had been overturned, the D-backs might have had a chance to overcome a three-run lead in the bottom half of the inning. Instead the inning continued, and the Brewers tacked on three runs on a single by Scooter Gennett and a triple by Ryan Braun.
"A lot of times, you feel like you create your luck as a team by playing hard all the time," Braun said. "When you're constantly running out ground balls, going about playing the game the right way, I feel like you create your own luck and you're in the right place at the right time.
"You never know when a team is going to bobble a ball. You never know whether an umpire is going to get one right or wrong."

|Statement by Ambassador Liu Zhenmin, Deputy Permanent Representative of the Chinese Mission to the United Nations on Agenda Item 56(a) and (b) at the Second Committee of the 64th session of the General Assembly
New York, 20 October 2009
Mr. Chairman,
The Chinese delegation thanks the Secretary-General for his report presented under the agenda items 56(a) and 56(b), and associates itself with the statement made by the representative of the Sudan on behalf of G77 and China.
Mr. Chairman,
The past year witnessed a world ravaged by the financial and economic crisis, resulting in a drastic slowdown of the world economy, a sharp contraction of international trade, a protracted inertia in international investment, and bleak prospects for achieving the MDGs. As vulnerable groups in the world economy, the least developed countries (LDCs) and the land-locked developing countries (LLDCs) are major victims of this crisis, with their overall development gains critically rolled back, their domestic development challenges increasingly acute, their external development environment markedly deteriorated, and their future development tasks more formidable. According to the World Bank estimates, this financial and economic crisis will increase the current global impoverished population by 55-90 million, and the LDCs and LLDCs will have a far larger share of that increase than other countries. Therefore, the international community should pay special attention to the plight of the LDCs and LLDCs in their development; give real consideration to their development needs; and provide strong support to them in overcoming their development challenges.
Mr. Chairman,
Only one year away from the target date for the completion of the Program of Action for the LDCs for the decade 2001-2010, we are seeing a considerable gap between the development achievements by the LDCs and the objectives set forth in the Program of Action, and the current crisis threatens to further widen this gap. The international community should make concerted efforts for the full and timely implementation of all commitments contained in the Program of Action, in an attempt to prevent the evolution of this crisis into a development crisis for the LDCs. In this connection, China suggests that the international community strengthen efforts in the following aspects:
(1) Increase support to trade. The international community should energetically strengthen its support to the LDCs in the area of trade financing, work to avoid drastic fluctuations in the prices of those commodities of vital importance to the LDCs, continuously improve the market access for the exports from the LDCs, and resolutely combat trade protectionism in all its forms.
(2) Promote sustained growth in investment. The international community should continuously boost investment in the LDCs in the areas of infrastructure, productivity and service to protect them from the shocks of the crisis, and endeavor to help the LDCs to restructure their economy which is overly dependent on commodity production and export.
(3) Truly increase official development assistance. The developed countries should ensure that the effect of the current crisis will not cause a reduction in their ODA, and should honor in real earnest their commitment to allocate 0.15-0.2% of their GNP to ODA for the LDCs. Efforts are also needed to improve the stability and predictability of financial assistance.
(4) Expedite the preparations for the Conference on LDCs. The Fourth UN Conference on LDCs scheduled to be held in 2011 will identify the general guidelines and priority areas for the international community's efforts to the LDCs in the next decade. China hopes to see an early agreement by the parties concerned on the timing and venue of the conference, so that all substantive preparations can go into full swing.
Mr. Chairman,
The time for the implementation of the Almaty Program of Action has crossed the half-way point, and the mid-tern review last year further crystallized the priorities for future cooperation. The focus now should be on translating commitments into actions and consensus into results. We believe that the support by the international community to the LLDCs should be more targeted, concentrating on addressing the prohibitive transit transport cost which is the biggest impediment to the development of the LLDCs. In this connection, China suggests that the international community strengthen efforts in the following aspects:
(1) Continuously enhance policy coordination. The international community should strive for substantive progress in the Doha round of negotiations on trade facilitation, actively promote transit transport policy coordination at regional and international levels, and vigorously reinforce regional cooperation in transit transport.
(2) Steadily improve infrastructure. The international community should endeavor to prevent the current crisis from negatively affecting the investment in the infrastructure of the LLDCs, energetically support the involvement by the private sector in the infrastructural development of the LLDCs, and effectively improve the interconnectivity of the intra-regional railroad and highway networks.
(3) Adjust the use of ODA. Currently, the share of ODA allocated to the infrastructural development of LLDCs is less than 10% of total ODA received by LLDCs. It is necessary for the developed countries to drastically increase the share used for infrastructural development in their ODA while ensuring the sustained and steady growth of such assistance.
Mr. Chairman,
The Chinese government has always steadfastly supported the development efforts of the LDCs and LLDCS. While experiencing tremendous difficulties itself in the wake of the current financial and economic crisis, China has all the same paid great attention to the predicament confronting the LDCs and LLDCs, and worked hard to contribute to the recovery of the world economy by maintaining its own economic stability and growth. China has fully and timely fulfilled its commitments to the countries concerned in terms of debt relief and trade preferences; taken an active part in the trade financing and emergency relief plans by such international institutions as the IMF; and resolutely resisted trade protectionism which is devastating to the interests of the developing countries. In his statement on 23 September during the general debate, President Hu Jintao of China articulated four initiatives for supporting the developing countries, including the LDCs and LLDCs. China will, as always, continue to uphold the principle of "consultation on equal footing, mutual benefit, and common development", join hands with the LDCs and LLDCs in meeting development challenges and sharing development opportunities.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

text: The Etna Lions varsity football team is set to host fellow Shasta Cascade League opponent Weed tonight. The varsity game begins at 7:30 p.m., while the junior varsity games takes place at 5 p.m. The Lions are currently 3-1, equaling last season win total. Etna began the season with two wins against University Prep and Hoopa before falling to Chester. Last week, the Lions earned a forfeit win against Bonanza due to a lack of players. Both the Lions and Cougars meet in an official SCl game to conclude the regular season in Weed on Nov. 8. Below, Etna head coach Wade Dickinson discusses tonight's home game. Wade, how have practices gone this week? We have had a great week of practice, not playing last week was really a bummer. The boys are eager to get out there and play. We are looking forward to Friday. What are your expectations this week against an SCL opponent in Weed? While Weed is in our league, this is not a league game. This is a preseason game that happens to be with a league opponent. Our expectations are that we are playing a very good Weed football team. They have been winning a lot of games and scoring a lot of points each time out. We know we have our hands full. What can you tell me about the Cougars? Weed has a lot of speed and several weapons that can hurt you. They are very athletic and they take advantage of opportunities if given the chance. We are going to have to play mistake free football in order to play with these guys. What does your team need to do on both sides of the ball to come away with the victory. Offensively we are going to have to take care of the football and score points. That is something we struggled with at Chester. Defensively, we need to be physical and get stops on 3rd down. What would a win mean to your team? It would be nice to get another win at home, we had a great crowd at the Hoopa game so I am anticipating another good crowd this Friday. If we play our style of football I think the home fans will be happy. I know it must have been disappointing having Bonanza forfeit the varsity game last week. Do you think it was an advantage or disadvantage for your team having an unexpected week off. Obviously we would rather play on Friday nights, unfortunately that was not the case last Friday. Having a break can let some guys that are nicked up get healthy, but I think playing every Friday keeps you sharp. At this point in the season has the squad performed to the expectations you had coming into the year? We are very happy with our athletes so far this year, This is a great group of kids that are eager to compete. The attitudes have been great all year, they come to practice ready to work and get better. Every young man on this team contributes everyday, and we could not be more pleased with the effort we are getting.

Stevenage have confirmed the appointment of Gary Smith as their new manager.
The npower League One club, who strengthened their play-off position with a 4-2 win over MK Dons on Tuesday night under the guidance of caretaker boss Mark Roberts, turned to former Colorado Rapids coach Smith following Graham Westley's departure for Preston earlier this month.
Smith coached at Wimbledon, Wycombe and Watford before joining the staff at Arsenal. In 2008 the Gunners arranged for him to join the Rapids, who are owned by the Barclays Premier League club's major shareholder Stan Kroenke.

RespiCare Ltd
We are a market leading medical company based in Dublin, Ireland and we specialise in Respiratory Medical Products. We provide products and services to patients and doctors in hospitals, and also to patients in their home using our products. Some of the products we provide are for the diagnosis of respiratory conditions. Others are for the treatment of respiratory conditions. Our main product that makes us stand out from the rest, is our service. We provide same day service for new patient set-ups, and 24 hour cover for those already using our equipment.
Our target audience would be doctors and nurses who work in the respiratory care field, and also patients suffering from respiratory conditions. We do have a number of competitors, and once the type of equipment we provide has been prescribed for a patient, the patient more then often has the choice of who to get the equipment from. We want the prescriber of the equipment to encourage the patient to purchase their equipment from us. This logo will be put on all of our literture, and also on our company vans, so it will be seen by the general public.
Our company colours have always been red and white, (red on a white background) but we are open to suggestions. Our company name 'RespiCare' is one word that comes from two words - 'Respiratory' and 'Care'. Even though its one word. we keep the 'R' and the 'C' as capital letters. Rather then just having our logo as 'RespiCare' with a set of lungs beside it, we thought something different would be nice. We don't want people to look at our logo and think (I would never have known that they are a respiratory medical company). On the other hand, we would not necessarily like to have a logo that confines us solely to respiratory field, incase at some point we want to broaden our horizons. Apart from the above, feel very free to be very creative!!

If "Hero for Hire" has a rival as the best stand-alone DuckTales episode, then it's surely "Sir Gyro de Gearloose," which swept to the top of the popularity charts immediately upon its initial broadcast and has maintained that lofty status ever since. Which of these eps is your fave probably depends upon which you think is the greater feat: crystallizing a new, made-for-TV character's personality, or building upon the existing characterization of a well-loved Carl Barks character. It's a tough call, but I'd vote for the former, if only because there are so many variations of the basic scenarios (both "Ducky-dependent" and otherwise) on display in "Sir Gyro" that have turned up in various contexts over the years. What makes Mark Zaslove's mixing-up and dishing-out of these ingredients so delectable is the great sense of balance and timing in his writing. I'm fully in agreement with Greg that "this is [an] episode I would show as a teaching tool for all new writers to see."
As Barks fans know, there are a number of classic "discontented Gyro" stories in existence, in which the normally amiable inventor sours on his lot and seeks to make a different sort of life for himself. In "Man vs. Machine" (UNCLE $CROOGE #47, February 1964), for example, Gyro roars in rebellion against the unreliability of machines:
Tralla La." This is not necessarily a criticism, more of an observation.
I'm torn regarding Gyro's Time Tub: it's such a neat device that I'm glad it was eventually reused (in "Time Teasers"), but I'm glad it wasn't OVERused. I can see some of the show's less talented writers falling back on the thing as a convenient vehicle for time-traveling plots. Not that there's anything wrong with such plots on occasion, but I think most Duck fans would prefer for their heroes to encounter manifestations of myth, legend, and adventure in the present day. The business about the Tub creating "past[s] that might have been" was included, I think, to avoid having to deal with the same kinds of weird backstory scenarios that Darkwing Duck would later create in the episode "Quack of Ages" (in which we were forced to accept the existence of a medieval St. Canard with "King Herb" in charge) and that Barks would occasionally create in his later years (e.g. the "castle of the ancient Mad Duke of Duckburg" in "House of Haunts"). By lifting Gyro and HD&L's adventures in Quackalot completely onto another plane of existence (or dimension, as posited by GeoX), Zaslove ensured that ancient Duckburg would remain pristine (at least, until time-traveling Ducks and on-the-scene pirates appeared in 1687 Duckburg during "Time Teasers") and made plausible the ep-ending dodge in which Gyro manages to get HD&L back home with only one hour having elapsed in real time. After all, when you're dimension-hopping, what's a little time-tinkering while you're at it?
A CONNECTICUT YANKEE IN KING ARTHUR'S COURT (1889), Ford Madox Ford followed with LADIES WHOSE BRIGHT EYES (1911), and the subgenre was well and truly launched. Disney itself churned out two live-action versions of the story, The Unidentified Flying Oddball (1979) and A Kid in King Arthur's Court (1995). In lesser hands, "Sir Gyro" might have wound up as superficial and forgettable as were those latter gobs of Gothic gauze. But Zaslove refuses to let it happen, for several reasons. The most important of these is his broad-minded attitude towards both the representative of modern technology (Gyro) and the denizens of the medieval realm (King Artie and company). Most of the serious attempts at this subgenre were created with clear satirical intent. For example, in A CONNECTICUT YANKEE, Mark Twain wanted to ridicule outdated notions of chivalry, which he claimed had helped bring on the Civil War by influencing the development of the hierarchical, battle-loving Southern culture. LADIES WHOSE BRIGHT EYES took the opposite approach, with the modern interloper growing to appreciate the charms of medieval culture to the extent that he "went native" and tried, much like Gyro, to become a knight. Zaslove builds his story around Gyro's desire to find his true destiny in the past, but he also provides the all-important counterweight in the form of Moorloon, who is just as unappreciated in Quackalot as Gyro is in Duckburg, and is every bit as sympathetic a character as is Gyro, despite his attempt to enlist the would-be usurper Lesdred in a kidnapping scheme. In helping the betrayed and imprisoned Moorloon to realize that he IS, essentially, Gyro in a different time and garb, HD&L perform their one absolutely vital duty of the episode. Tempting as it may be to think that this episode might have worked as a Gyro solo, I don't think that it would have; Gyro was simply too focused on his desire to become a knight, and Moorloon was too obsessed with jealousy over Gyro, to come to the realizations of their parallel roles without assistance. As Gyro's sympathetic friends and as "outside observers" of Moorloon's plight, HD&L were perfectly positioned to be "moral guidance facilitators." (Also, unlike Gyro's Helper, they have the power of speech!)
Gadget would say) and save the day. When the dragon arrives to attack Quackalot, however, Gyro's helping instinct seems on the bum, as he only reluctantly agrees to build the cider pump to douse the dragon's flames. Artie's ill-received suggestion that Gyro build him a gadget to make "crown-shaped party hats" serves as a tipping point of sorts. After that, Gyro is completely focused on becoming a worthy knight, even if he has to momentarily surrender to his atavistic instinct for mechanical creation and build a training wheel to help him guide his lance. He even begins to dream of knightly deeds, indicating that his subconscious is also undergoing a basic transformation. Given how close Gyro appears to being completely captured by his dream of knighthood, HD&L's decision to spy on Moorloon, and their discovery of Moorloon's plotting with Lesdred, couldn't have come at a better time.
The "magnetic" climax, of course, provides one of the series' most memorable scenes, and it remains so despite Dewey's horrible pun about "magnetic personalities." (I remember when a DARKWING DUCK story in the unfortunate Disney-Marvel DISNEY AFTERNOON title used that same gag; oh, the catcalls it got. Perhaps it was because Drake Mallard's "magnetic personality" was presented as the literal reason why he got magnetically stuck to a garbage can.) I would also love to know how Gyro BUILT the Duck-gone thing. Even granted that there would be a lot of chain mail lying around Quackalot, how would one "unchain" it to create that giant metallic sphere... and without tools, yet? This makes the use of golden planks, ropes, nails, and sails in "Wrongway in Ronguay" seem positively... believable, don't you think? Well, however Gyro got the thing put together, the depiction of its influence on Lesdred's legions is exceptionally memorable... and, of course, extra credit goes to Zaslove for foreshadowing this climax by introducing and employing the (much smaller) magnet earlier in the episode. That there's good writing, folks.
When "Sir Gyro" appeared, I immediately dubbed it the best Gyro story ever done... but, in the intervening years, one worthy challenger has appeared: Pat McGreal and Santiago Scalabroni's "Little Gyro in Quarkland" (UNCLE $CROOGE #314, October 1998). This is yet another entry in the "rebellious Gyro" sweepstakes, and it's a particularly dark-complected one. The inDucks English summary of the plot claims that it is motivated by Gyro's despair at all the pollution in Duckburg, but the inventor's despondency appears to go much deeper than that:
(GeoX) Anyway, in The Past, the waterfowl fall in with "King Artie" and Gyro impresses him with the power of Science. The local wizard, Moorloon, gets jealous, however, especially when Gyro's able to stop a dragon and he isn't (though looking back, it's hard to say why not, given that Moorloon is indeed shown to have totally sweet magical abilities later on).
I think that Moorloon claimed that he "[didn't] do dragons," not because he couldn't handle the situation, but because he wouldn't. Already, we can see here that Moorloon is more concerned with making "that upstart Gearloose" look bad than in performing his supposedly sacred duty of protecting King Artie. And he hasn't hit bottom yet, of course.
(GeoX) It's sometimes a little hard to tell who's talking, but it's pretty clear that, when HDL are climbing down a drainpipe and getting captured one by one, the names get mixed up.
Yeah, I think you're right. It sounds as if Louie says "Louie?" right before he gets grabbed by the Black Knight.
(GeoX) The exaggeratedly-breathy crane-woman who in the beginning snaps at Gyro when he can't immediately fix her toaster and then at the end hits on him is kind of amusing. Make her a recurring character! Gyro needs a love interest!
Admittedly, it would be nice for him to have one, but this girl is rather... flighty, don't you think? (And I'm not saying that just because she's a bird.) Her overreaction to the failure of Gyro's toaster fix bespeaks a rather high-maintenance personality. She does come back in the end, which is a credit to her, but how will she react when she and Gyro go on that all-important first date and Gyro suddenly gets an inventor's brainstorm? Will she be able to go with the flow, or will we see the hauteur and the stamping feet once again? Too bad we'll never get to find out.
(Greg) The black knight blocks with all his might and his armor and shield melts...and then we cut to King Artie's castle before he burns to ashes. Which indicates that the black knight inside is dead. Cinema 101 people! When will we learn that?!
Cinema 101? How about Physiology 101? There was a very abrupt cut following the "red-hot armor" scene, so something may have been trimmed here. Still, unless Lesdred has two or more of those ostrich fellows hanging around, the end product of this scene should have been "Scratch One Black Knight."
Plunder andLighting Part Two was nasty?! If this doesn't get cut by Toon Disney; then Disney ought to be ashamed of themselves.
To my knowledge, this scene has never been cut from any print of "Sir Gyro." A little of the edge is taken off of the scene by the fact that, while HD&L have soot on their faces, their caps are not burnt.
Interesting Moment #1: So we head to Moorloon's room as he is in agreement with Gyro for a change. HAHA! Moorloon tries to bang the magnet on the table; but no dice because it is not metal see. HAHA! However; the real funny part (which for moralists it was heinous) was when Moorloon bangs it on the table he yells: "WORK! WORK! WORK!". On the DVD version; this is what Moorloon said. In the first run syndication; this is what he said as well; however, the Teutonic/ German accent of Moorloon had him sounding more like "F***! F***! F***!". And yes; it rhymes with duck. Donald Duck seemed to have the same problem in his shorts in the past. This was the infamous F-Bomb episode of Ducktales (and probably started the Donald Duck F bomb scare later on since no one but Peggy [Charron] watches DTVA allegedly.). And since it was clear as day that the accent was trouble; in the second run syndication it was re-voiced without the accent to make it sound like what Moorloon was going to say in the script.
Thankfully, the "F-Bomb" version can still be found on YouTube. I don't know if Barry Dennen did the re-voicing, but the "cleaned-up" Moorloon sounds very little like the original voice of the character. An unfortunate price to pay, I'd say!
Next: Episode 16, "Merit-Time Adventure."
