Roman à Clef
Featuring the Doctor and Peri
"Where are we, Doctor?" Peri Brown asked as she stepped from the TARDIS, her eyes adjusting to the brilliant daylight that surrounded them.
"Dalmatia XVII," the Doctor explained, tugging at the lapels of his technicolour dreamcoat, "on the very edges of the New Roman Empire."
The TARDIS had landed on a marble platform atop what seemed to be a skyscraper; before them, a beautiful city, apparently built entirely of marble in various shades of white and glass in various shades of green, stretched away to a turquoise ocean. Small hovering vehicles flitted between the towers, which easily dwarfed even the largest buildings of Peri's time, and the street below was crowded with people. The sky was cloudless, a light violet colour, and the sun shone down from between two moons, the surfaces of both obscured by swirling storm formations.
It was a vista of remarkable beauty.
"The New Roman Empire?" Peri asked, and she walked to the edge of the platform, leaning over the railing to get a better view. "This is incredible!"
"Oh, yes," the Doctor agreed. "Wonderful. Fantastic. Limited, of course. A desire to return to the ideals of the Roman Republic gave way to a rise of empire, as was to be expected… quite astonishing, while it lasts."
"While it lasts?"
"Those who can't learn from history are doomed to repeat it," the Doctor quoted. "The New Roman Empire goes the way everything else does. It decays, collapses, and dies. Before it does that, though, there's a new Renaissance of poetry, philosophy, politics, invention, ideal, idiom, mathematics, medicine and, annoyingly enough, religion."
Peri grinned. "That's pretty cool. Can we go explore?"
The Doctor looked her up and down, taking in her denim shorts and tight pink blouse. "Not dressed like that, you can't."
"My outfit?" Peri said, incredulously. "What about yours?"
The Doctor ignored her, and pushed open the TARDIS door, saying "Come on, there should be something in the wardrobe. Vintage Roman, you know…"
Gabriel Bacchus Pyrrhus tapped the stylus against his holotablet as the turbovator accelerated towards the roof of the Grand Bibliotheca, the centre of learning not just for Dalmatia XVII, but for the entire sector. The tablet was trying to access the ScientaNet, but the wifi didn't seem to be working.
Sighing, he looked out over the city, and couldn't help but smile. The GB's wifi might falter, but the New Roman Empire never would. Knowledge and peace, spread through the stars. A new Pax Romana.
Gabriel's father had been a Centurion, commander of an entire star wing of Legionaries, and had been instrumental in bringing civilisation to the Dalmatia Sector. Less than thirty years later, and this entire, glorious city had been created, built on the ashes of the devastating conflict. There was much work still to be done, a galaxy for the most part still in turmoil, and Gabriel, a student of politics and philosophy, could imagine a universe at peace, under the direction of the Caesarium on Earth.
It seemed inevitable.
The elevator arrived on the rooftop platform. The door hummed open, and Gabriel stepped out beneath the blazing sunlight. Even though the roof of the GB was more than seven hundred metres from the ground, the marble platform was protected from the bitter wind by a low-power forcefield.
Finally, the wifi started to work, and as Gabriel walked across the platform to one of the benches, the ScientiaNet started to upload the speech given by the Caesar, broadcast from Earth a few hours ago…
Eyes trained on the holotablet, Gabriel walked right into a wooden box he hadn't noticed before. Stumbling back, he blinked. A tall, blue box, with windows on the upper quarter and a light on top. It hadn't been there a second ago. At least, he thought it hadn't been… the more he thought about it, the less sure he was. The Caesar's speech forgotten, he secreted the holotablet into a pouch in his toga, and wandered around the box.
There was a sign in it, with letters he recognised but arranged in words he couldn't understand, and a lock beside it. A door.
"This makes no sense," he said, and realised he was simply stating the obvious. Stating the obvious to himself.
Gabriel frowned, and decided to see if he could go inside. Placing his hand on the door, he gave a gentle push. It swung open, and closed again. There came a noise from inside, like an echo of the door closing, but much, much louder, as though it were echoing in a grand space, far larger than the box itself appeared to be.
"Curiouser and curiouser," he said, muttering a line from an ancient, pre-civilised Earth text he'd had to study as a youngster.
Resolved, he pushed the door open, and stepped inside the blue box.
"How do I look?" Peri asked, turning this way and that to show off the toga, which she thought she'd draped excellently.
The Doctor, standing in the TARDIS' enormous closet with his hands buried in his pockets, looking as bored as she'd ever seen him, ran a pair of disinterested eyes over his companion. His lips kinked in a momentary smirk, like he was thinking of a joke at her expense, but he decided against saying anything, and she chose to give him the benefit of the doubt. "It's fine."
Peri shook her head. "I can't believe you, Doctor. One moment, you're demanding I put on a toga, and the next…"
"I didn't think it would take you this long," the Doctor said.
"It took me three minutes!"
"Which is three minutes of Dalmatian sunlight that we've lost," the Doctor said, turning towards the console room. "Now, come on, let's…"
He stopped short as an echo rang throughout the TARDIS. It sounded like a door closing.
"What's that?" Peri asked, frowning.
"The door just opened…" the Doctor said, "but that didn't sound right."
Suddenly, the TARDIS shook. Peri stumbled, but the Doctor managed to stay on his feet; he was running for the console room even before she was able to right herself.
"Doctor!" Peri called after him, running barefoot through the corridors in pursuit. "What is it? What's wrong?"
The room Gabriel found himself in was enormous. He blinked. There was no way this massive chamber, at the centre of which sat a hexagonal control surface with a glowing column extending upward from it, could fit inside the blue box he'd just discovered on the roof of the Grand Bibliotheca.
His mind began to run through the possibilities; a miraculous creation of one of the Gods, or some other deity? A hallucination? A delusion? Some sort of trick of theoretical mathematics made manifest? This last seemed the most likely.
The room was white, sterile, and seemed to glow with an intrinsic light. Hexagonal shapes were set into the walls. There was no sign of anyone, but there was a low hum, like an idling engine. Gabriel muttered in astonishment at what he'd discovered; an entire world inside a blue box. A hyperdimensional reality, beyond his own understanding. It was the only possible explanation of all this space inside such a small form.
The work of the Gods, surely. Or of the god-like.
"Sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from the miraculous," he said to himself, reciting one of the most sacred precepts of technotheism, a philosophy he found himself subscribing to more and more with every second he was inside this chamber.
He wandered over to the control surfaces. Lights flickered on and off; there were buttons, levers, knobs, switches. Some of them were marked with small paper notes, and a text that seemed to be made of curves that resembled a clock.
"Who the hell are you?"
Gabriel looked up, but couldn't see anyone. He turned around, but the chamber was empty. Suddenly, it shook. He grabbed the console, keeping himself steady… the room pitched forward, and he was slammed into the controls.
Stunned, he righted himself, stumbling backwards… the console looked different. His impact against it had activated any number of controls. The light in the room changed, the pitch of the hum shifted. The room began to shake, at first with a slight rumble, and then with more violence. It was almost ferocious. Gabriel fought to hang on to the console, but the shaking was only getting worse. It was almost as thought a bull was fighting to fling an unwanted rider from its back.
He tried to press more controls, to undo whatever he'd done, but nothing seemed to help.
"Doctor!" Peri screamed as the TARDIS bucked and shook around her. She had braced herself against the wall of the corridor, and she could see the Doctor in the doorway leading into the control room. "What's happening?"
The Doctor shook his head, his eyes clenched as though he were fighting an enormous headache, his blond curls bouncing about him.
And then it hit Peri.
A pain like she couldn't imagine, as though there were suns burning behind her eyes. She screamed, throwing her hands up to her head, losing her footing. She slipped, and suddenly was on the ground, but she didn't care; the pain was so intense, so utterly agonising, that she couldn't move, couldn't see, couldn't breathe.
"Doctor!" she screeched, fighting her way through the wall of hurt. "What is it? What is happening to me?"
"Not just you," she heard him say, and realised he was crouched over. Indeed, she was wrapped in his arms, held tight against him. He was trying to protect her, to keep her safe. The pain seemed to subside, if only a little. She was with the Doctor. "Something's happening to the TARDIS. Something has disrupted the hyperdimensional matrix."
The pain was dissipating even more rapidly now.
"What does that mean, Doctor?" Peri asked, her headache now more of a hangover. Her vision was even clearing.
"Something has violated our temporal isolation," the Doctor explained, and Peri was finally able to see him. She blinked away the last of the pain, and realised the TARDIS was dark.
"The TARDIS…" she said.
"It's gone offline," the Doctor said, "to protect itself. In the case of an intrusion which causes a disruption the hyperdimensional plane or damage to the TARDIS' higher systems, it enters a fugue state until it can resolve the problem. The trouble is, this TARDIS is old. It won't be able to do it on its own. We need to locate the whatever's caused the fugue, and expel it."
"What could have happened?"
The Doctor shook his head. "I have no idea. It could be dangerous. Perhaps you should go to your room, until I have it sorted out…"
"You're sending me to my room?" Peri exclaimed, pulling herself up. "I know I'm young, Doctor, but really! That's unfair."
"I'm only doing it for your protection," the Doctor said, getting to his feet and helping Peri to hers. "There are three things that could have caused this kind of complete shutdown. Whatever has entered the TARDIS is either a paradox, or a fixed point in history that has been removed from its timeline. Something that shouldn't have happened at all, or something that must happen at any cost."
Peri frowned. "That's only two things."
"Hmm?" the Doctor asked.
"You said three things could have caused it."
"Oh," the Doctor said. "Yes. The third. Well, that's the truly troubling one. Sabotage. Intentional or accidental. And if we're really, really, very unlucky…"
Peri bit her lip. "Yes?"
"If we're so cosmically unlucky it makes every black cat in history walking under every ladder all at the same time forever look like the luckiest thing since the foot of the Great Rabbit of Klexahong Vek," the Doctor said, "it might be all three. A paradoxical fixed point sabotaging the TARDIS."
"Well, then," Peri said. "If it's so dangerous, I'm not letting you out of my sight."
The Doctor looked at her, eyebrows raised. He looked more than a little annoyed, his shoulders and spine tight. "Why are you always so obstinate?"
"Because, Doctor," Peri said, with a small, sad smile. "You're all I've got."
The Doctor's shoulders relaxed. He offered her a smile, true and genuine. "Come on, then, my dear."
Together, multicolour coat and white toga, the two made their way towards the console room.
Gabriel Bacchus Pyrrhus stood in the darkened control room, shaking. What could have possibly happened? What had he done? The pain in his head had been utterly excruciating, and had vanished as quickly as it had arrived.
"Who the hell are you?"
The words echoed again through the dark chamber, and Gabriel shivered. In all his training, in all his study, nothing like this had ever happened. Where was he? A flight of panic took him. He ran to the doors, and tried to wrench them open… they stayed shut tight. Swallowing, he took a look around. There were two corridors leading away from the room… he chose one, and ran down it.
Perhaps, he thought desperately, there would be another way out.
"The console's dead," the Doctor declared as he and Peri entered the control room. He went over to check the readouts. "Damn. If we had some system access, I'd be able to use the TARDIS' security systems to track down the intrusion…"
"Doctor!" Peri cried from the doors. "I can't get them open!"
"No," the Doctor said, coming to her side, "I shouldn't imagine that you could. The TARDIS has removed us from the timestream."
"But why?" Peri asked. For the first time in a long time, she would have felt safer outside those doors than in.
"For protection."
"The rest of the universe's," the Doctor said, turning back to the console.
A spike of pain roiled through his head, and his feet disappeared from beneath him… he was standing in the console room, but it was lit up, glowing, like it normally was. There was a young man, wearing a white toga with a red stripe decorating it, hunched over the TARDIS console, poking at it…
"Who the hell are you?" he called, and the man looked up.
The Doctor found himself in Peri's arms. "Doctor?" she said, her voice quiet with fear and concern. "Are you all right?"
"Oh, Peri," he said, sitting up. "It's far worse than I feared."
Her arms tightened about him. "How? What's happened?"
"Temporal dimension inside the TARDIS has been fractured," the Doctor explained. "I just saw our intruder, in the past, standing at the console… he heard me speaking, but couldn't see me."
"What does it mean, Doctor?"
"The TARDIS' fugue state is like a computer operating in safe mode," the Doctor explained, getting to his feet, and heading with Peri to the console. "It's a diagnostic procedure, meant to allow us to root out whatever's causing the difficulty with no chance of damage to the ship's systems or the outside universe. The intrusion is so great that it's tripped us into fugue, but even that's not enough… space-time within the hyperdimensions of the TARDIS is being splintered, broken. The past and the future of the TARDIS itself are being brought together."
Peri blinked. "That won't end well."
"No," the Doctor agreed. "It won't."
He flung out a hand, squeezing Peri's shoulder to keep himself steady as pain threatened to overwhelm him again. He saw the console room, darkened and offline, and saw the same man, in the same toga, dashing off down a corridor. A second later, he was back.
"Are you okay?" Peri asked, her arm around her friend. "What happened?"
"I saw him again," the Doctor said. "The man, the intruder. He ran down there!"
The Doctor slipped from Peri's grasp, and ran for the corridor down which he'd watched the intruder disappear, Peri behind him.
Gabriel found himself in a gallery the size of a cathedral, as large as the grandest temples on Dalmatia XVII. This chamber was even larger the console room, and though it must have been splendid lit up, it was dank and terrifying in the darkness. Shadows loomed large over him.
He took a few steps into the room, and shivered. It was draughty in here.
"Who the hell are you?"
Gabriel turned, and found himself face to face with a tall man in a brilliantly coloured coat, his hands buried in his pockets. His hair was a mess of golden curls, and he was watching Gabriel with an imperious expression.
Swallowing, Gabriel drew himself to his full height.
"Gabriel Bacchus Pyrrhus," he said, "student of politics and philosophy." The man frowned, and then he was gone.
"Where are we, Doctor?" he heard a woman's voice say.
"Dalmatia XVII," the man's voice echoed.
Gabriel grabbed at his head as fresh waves of pain broke over him. He jammed his eyes closed, and tried to think, tried to remember where he was, what had happened. He'd entered the blue box, and then… the great gallery shook all around him, dust falling from the ceiling. He lost his footing, and fell to the ground, but he barely noticed through the pain.
"Where are we Doctor?"
"Dalmatia XVII…"
The voices were echoing, over and over again. So many words, so many names, places, things we couldn't recognise. The woman and the man she called the Doctor at first, but then other voices. Men, women, robotic creatures; uncountable people. Dozens upon dozens, speaking of things that Gabriel didn't understand, couldn't imagine. An entire reality he couldn't believe was being created in his head, and it hurt.
Gabriel Bacchus Pyrrhus screamed.
"Gabriel Bacchus Pyrrhus," the Doctor said, suddenly, a frown frozen on his features.
"What?" Peri asked, confused.
"His name. The man's name. The intruder. I asked him the question, back in the console room, and he just answered me…"
"The console room?" Peri repeated. They were standing in a TARDIS corridor, on their way to one of the rooms Peri loved to lounge in between their adventures, an enormous gallery adorned with statues of alien figures, the identity and purpose of which the Doctor had never bothered to explain to her. "That was five minutes ago."
"No, no, it's eternal. It's happening over and over again. A temporal storm, brewing in the heart of the TARDIS," the Doctor said, looking at Peri. His lip quivered, ever so slightly. "I'm being broken up, spread throughout the TARDIS."
"I don't understand, Doctor."
"Of course you don't," the Doctor said, dismissively.
"I'm only trying to help!" she shouted, unable to believe he was being so petulant considering their current circumstances.
"I know that name," he went on, ignoring her. "Gabriel Bacchus Pyrrhus… I know that name. But where? How?" He closed his eyes, thinking… they snapped open, and he looked to Peri, obviously horrified. "Him!"
"Him?" she echoed, but the Doctor was already off down the corridor.
Peri gave chase, but as the Doctor slipped into the gallery, the deck suddenly pitched beneath Peri's feet, and she tripped. Falling hard against the floor, she gave a cry of pain. It echoed down the corridor… and then it echoed back. And again, and again, and again. The air was growing cold, electric, Peri's throat was getting tight. The corridor pitched and shifted, and the very atmosphere seemed to warp.
"Doctor!" she cried, her every fibre screaming with fear. "Doctor!"
The Doctor found the young man face down on the floor of the Occasional Gallery. "Gabriel Bacchus Pyrrhus," the Doctor said as he rolled him over, his eyes sad. "I know you, young man. I know you all too well."
The man stirred in his sleep, and mumbled something the Doctor couldn't make out.
He recognised that face, thought it was far younger than he remembered. Gabriel Bacchus Pyrrhus. A fixed point in history, for sure. What this man did, what he was responsible for, had to happen. He'd come aboard the TARDIS, somehow, which had recognised him as a fixed point, a figure absolutely essential to the correct passage of history…
"No!" the Doctor cried. "That's not how…" Sighing, he placed a hand against the side of Gabriel's head, slipping into the man's memories.
Suddenly, it all made sense. Gabriel had wandered aboard the TARDIS, and had accidentally activated the controls, which had begun the fugue state… but that wasn't all. Gabriel Bacchus Pyrrhus was an essential figure in the history of the New Roman Empire, a fixed point in time; but he hadn't been until he'd boarded the TARDIS, until he'd activated the fugue state, until the temporal disruptions had afflicted him, exposed him to the universe the TARDIS had explored, far beyond even the New Roman Empire's greatest extents. He shouldn't have been important at all, and yet he was, simply because he was.
Blinking, the Doctor broke the psychic connection. "Well, that's a mess."
The TARDIS had recognised him as a saboteur, and had tried to shake him loose… which had caused the sabotage. It had recognised him as a fixed point and as a paradox, only because it had made him one. The fugue state had created the conditions for the fugue state, and the resultant paradox had disrupted the space-time of the TARDIS' hyperdimensional interior.
"Crap," was all the Doctor could say.
Not only had he met Gabriel Bacchus Pyrrhus… he'd created him. He'd created one of history's greatest monsters.
Suddenly, Peri's scream ripped through the air. The Doctor was on his feet in a second, and bolting for corridor. He found Peri sprawled on the floor, surrounded by temporal disruptions; the air was twisting, changing. The past was converging around Peri, the future breathing down her neck, the present crushing her beneath the weight of its potential. The Doctor took a deep breath, steeling himself for what was to come. He could survive the temporal storm that was surrounding his friend, but she couldn't.
Head down, he pushed his way down the corridor. Temporal energy released from the very heart of the TARDIS assaulted him, tried to push him back, but he fought his way through. He heard words, spoken by voices he hadn't known for centuries; saw faces he had spent so long trying to forget, but never could. Everything the TARDIS had been, everything it would be, was pressing down upon him.
He almost tripped over Peri, and sank to his knees.
"Doctor…" she gurgled, and he saw her body had been ravaged by the temporal energy. Her face was twisted, her left cheek wrinkled and ancient, her forehead fresh like a baby's, her chin studded with the blemishes of adolescence. She was dying.
"I've got you, Peri," the Doctor said, pulling her into his arms. "I've got you, do you understand? I'm not going to leave you."
"What…" she struggled to speak, her body ravaged by scoliosis and arthritis and the infirmities of age battling with the vitality of youth, "what happened?"
"It was my fault," the Doctor admitted, and he fought to hold back the tears that were already spilling down his cheeks. "It was all my fault. I'm responsible for everything he's going to do, and I'm responsible for this. I'm sorry, Peri, I'm so, so sorry."
She was crying now, and she would have been screaming if she weren't so weak. "Just go, Doctor. Leave me."
"Never," he said, and he meant it.
He held her as she went still. He held her until she'd been aged to dust in his arms.
The unconscious form of Gabriel Bacchus Pyrrhus was heavy on the Doctor's shoulders as he heaved the man from the gallery back to the console room. He'd stopped crying, and even the dust that had once been Perpugilliam Brown had disappeared from his coat. Now, all there was was rage.
The console room doors opened easily before him, and outside was Dalmatia XVII. The Doctor placed Pyrrhus on the marble, and looked down at the man's sleeping features. Everything this monster would go on to do, all the horror and misery he would wreak… the Doctor flexed his fingers. It would be so easy to snap the man's neck, to end it all. Forget history, forget the Laws of Time.
Looking down at his fingers, he remembered them curled around Peri's throat. He remembered carrying her back to the TARDIS, his body ravaged by the spectrox… the tears came afresh, and he turned away, leaving the unconscious Gabriel on the marble.
The TARDIS came to life again around him as the fugue state came to an end, the intrusion having been successfully expelled.
The hum of the engines returned, but all the Doctor could hear was stark silence.
No voice to ask him questions, to argue with him. He was alone. All alone, and he'd failed her. He'd failed her so many times, as he'd failed so many before. The tears streamed down his cheeks as he slumped against the console, and he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"What's wrong, Doctor?"
The voice was unmistakable. American, bright. Almost bubbly. The Doctor turned, eyes wide, grin wider. Peri Brown, beautiful and young and still wearing the toga, was looking at him, as true as life.
He wrapped her in a bear hug, lifting her up, his mind racing to consider the possibilities… if time and space had splintered, then they'd torn Peri apart. When the fugue state had ended, when time and space had been righted, then so had Peri. He put her back on the floor, and took a moment just to look at her.
Laughing, the most beautiful sound in the universe to the Doctor, she said "Easy, boy!"
"Oh, Peri," the Doctor said, and he turned back to the console. "Sorry I made you get into the toga. We'll not be staying on Dalmatia XVII."
"I can't say I'm not relieved," Peri admitted. "That was enough adventure for a little while. Tell me, though, Doctor. What happened? Who was he? Gabriel Bacchus Pyrrhus."
The Doctor's expression, as elated as it was, grew dark. "The last Caesar of the New Roman Empire. He restored the ideals of the Republic, only to co-opt them. He was obsessed with the idea of a Pax Romana, a galaxy under imperial domination. He declared himself dictator-for-life, and he introduced conscription and slavery to build armies of conquest. He strip-mined entire worlds to fund and furnish his campaigns. He led the New Roman Empire right into its collapse. Millions died. And it's all my fault."
"If he had never come aboard the TARDIS, he never would have seen the extent of the universe, a universe he thought it was his duty to conquer."
Peri touched his shoulder. "You couldn't have known that, Doctor."
"No," he admitted, "but I could have stopped him. I didn't have to land on Dalmatia XVII. I was trying to meet him, Peri. That's why I came here. I wanted to meet him as a young man. I created him. I started him. I started all of it, and what's worse… what's worse is that it cost me you."
"I remember, Doctor," she said, "and I remember that you didn't leave me. I remember that."
The Doctor's expression softened. "Come on, then, my dear. Onwards?"
Peri smiled. "Onwards."
He slammed down a lever, and the TARDIS and its occupants, whole once again, disappeared into space and time, leaving Dalmatia XVII and the New Roman Empire behind.
It was night before Gabriel Bacchus Pyrrhus came to on the roof of the Grand Bibliotheca. He sat up, and saw that the blue box was gone… the stars glimmered above him, endless and beautiful. He had seen them, heard of them, so many of them. Not just the galaxy, but the universe beyond.
There was just one explanation. That box had been sent to him, a miracle sent to bring to him the knowledge of what the universe truly was, and what it should be.
A Pax Romana stretching throughout all of reality. He couldn't help but smile. He had so much work to do.

Robson Green's 'crocodile attack'
Robson Green has claimed he was attacked by a crocodile.
The 51-year-old actor was rushed to hospital after the killer aquatic reptile snapped at him - behind bars - while he was shooting his new show 'Robson Green's Australian Adventure'.
He explained: "When I was checked over in the local hospital, they asked what had happened and I said, 'Crocodile attack!'."
However, he wasn't mauled by the crocodile, the creature simply frightened him and he accidentally fell back into a metal pole.
He added: "It was actually in a cage and I was out of harm's way so it wasn't really dangerous at all.
"But stupidly it gave me such a fright that I jumped out of the way and banged my head on the pole. I can say legitimately that I got a cut on my head from a crocodile attack."
However, despite the painful bump he sustained, the 'Grantchester' star was more worried about the damage to his face.
Speaking to The Sun Online, he said: "It was quite embarrassing actually because I was genuinely upset that I'd hurt myself and got a cut on my head. I screamed, I hurt my head, there was blood.
"For an instant I thought, 'What the hell am I going to do?' because I can't do anything else. All I do as an actor is tell stories and my face is my fortune. It's all I've got."

DYLAN Farrell broke his first neck aged eight. It scared the crap out of him.
"Just the sound, that snap," the boom Rabbitoh recalls.
"But whenever we hunted geese in Kakadu, that was my job. The men shot the geese and us boys, we collected them.
"And if they weren't killed straight away, you know, we had to break their necks. First time though, I froze. Just stood there as one of the other boys went racing by me ... "
And how old was he?
"Oh, younger ... maybe six".
This is why Dylan Farrell will run out this Sunday afternoon against the Titans in hand-painted boots.
His Koori kicks swirling in colourful tribute to this footballer born on an Aboriginal mission and raised in Kakadu; a kid given every opportunity by his old man, a park ranger, who wrestled crocodiles for a living.
Quiz Farrell about Aboriginality and talk turns to Culburra Beach mission, a little enclave of 22 houses near Nowra on the NSW south coast, where his first years were spent.
Recalling not poverty or limited opportunity, but the boyish joy of having cousins next door, across the road, down the street.
"I used to go into school and feel sorry for the white kids," he says. "Only catching up with family on weekends."
And what about those three years spent up in the Northern Territory, on a remote swampland property in Kakadu? Eating buffalo and turtle. Watching crocodiles wrestled, captured, skinned.
Breaking necks.
"Kakadu was incredible, where I really learned about myself, my people," Farrell explains. "That's why Dad moved us up there, because the culture, the language, everything is so strong.
"People up there still hunt traditionally. All the great dancers are there too.
"But I also saw many of the many health problems still hurting our people. And more than telling you hunting stories, more than bringing cultures together, that's what this Close the Gap round is all about."
Which is why, come Sunday afternoon at Skilled Park, he will wear those boots.
Farrell's way of alerting you to the fact, even now in 2012, indigenous life expectancy remains up to 17 years less than that of the wider population.
Illnesses like diabetes, kidney disease, even heart problems are being found not just among indigenous men in their fifties, but those decades younger.
"When I was talking with Mum about you doing this story, she thought it was a great idea," Farrell continues. "My mum Kim, she's white. Went to her first funeral at 18. But for me ... I'd been to 18 funerals by age five."
For Farrell, these statistics are not merely numbers on a page - they're his. Owned too by his beautiful daughter Leilani, almost three - a little warrior who has already beaten the tragedy that is indigenous babies being three times more likely to die before their first birthday than other Aussie kids.
"For any father, black or white, the thought of that is terrifying," Farrell says. "This is why I want people to know what Closing the Gap round is about.
"I don't want my kids going to as many funerals as me."
Neither does his father Darryll, a Parramatta lower grader in the eighties who bundled all four kids north to the Territory - where he trapped saltwater crocs for a living - so they could learn about identity. Culture.
Giving them a pride that now sees his daughter Katelyn, still only 18, working alongside her brother in the Souths Cares program, while his other children Jordan and Ashleigh, have always gone without knowing what Dylan could make of the extra money and time.
"When I was at Parramatta, I never had the support of my parents," Darryll explains. "There are so many talented indigenous people in this country, sometimes they just need a little support."
Just ask mum Kim, who not only raised her four children surrounded by a swampland containing crocodiles, snakes and mosquitoes, but once had to rush little Dylan for treatment after a scorpion bite.
"Dylan isn't someone who shouts about change," Kim says. "He won't lead your protest march but that doesn't mean, out there in the community, working with young indigenous kids, he isn't leading. The work he does in schools, even down here where he grew up, it makes a difference."
It's a similar story with Hayley - Farrell's partner. A proud indigenous girl who isn't only raising Leilani and billeting Katelyn while she attends Matraville High, but who knows that these terrible statistics, well, they affect women worst of all.
It's why she painted the boots.

26yrs Old - 5"4 and 170lbs - Canada
I really would love an hour glass curve and a nice...
This is me two years ago and would like be on the same size but with a nicer bum and tiny waist.
And this is me now :(
3 days from now I will have my surgery:
Pre check was Dec 16:
Dr. Arenas explained everything I need to know. From pre and post of surgery. He speak fluent English thank God. He made me feel really at ease. I'm not gonna lie, I almost back out! Who needs an ass anyway? Lol me. Over all he went over how he would sculpt my body and make my bum juicy :)
Before pics
The day of surgery!
Now, I do have a low pain tolerance. I woke up and I felt dizzy, head ache and body ache. I thought it would just be the 10k feeling but it's more of a train struck me. I don't know if my recovery is slow but it felt really slow.
8 days post op
I'm feeling a lot better now. Thank God and Dr. Arenas and the staff. My back still hurts but not much. Dr. Arenas prescribe something for it!
2 weeks three days.
Almost 3 weeks post
New new new
A month and two days
1 month and 2 days :)
Hey guys update pics of me :?)))
5 and half months! Hey ladies!
Dr. Arenas, I can't thank you enough for being amazing! He was with me the whole entire process even if he was in vacation. He explained pre op, post of and after care. He even called to check up on me and see how am I doing ( he thought I was going through depression, though I was just emotional wreck because it was also the time of the month for me and everything was painful on first few days ). Thank you to Dr. Marco Sanchez, the anesthesiologist. He is such a character, very witty! The assistantd had troubles finding veins. Atleast they tried four times in both my left and right hand but it felt nothing because Dr. Marco Sanchez was too busy entertaining me. After that I was put to sleep so fast and didn't wake till after the surgery. Thank you! Liz, Dr. Arenas assistant is amazing. Thanks to Veronica who spent the whole night with me in the hospital for the first night and also the one who drained my fluids and helped me shower everyday. I would really recommend you guys to call her to drain your fluids. She is very patient. I think draining was the most painful part but Veronica will take her time with you and her massages are not hard at all. Thanks to Fatima who did my drains at the very end. Basically all the staff there are amazing! They are only what's up away! So guys make sure you have that in your phone! They went above and beyond the whole process and I am so blessed and thankful. I love love love the result. It looks natural but still nice and round. I am so much more confident and happier! The process was mentally, physically and emotionally challenging but I never regret any of it because of the help of everyone! Hospital is very sanitize and foods are yummy :))) If you guys need any help let me know!

Dealer is at a loss to fix it. I assume short someplace or computer problem? Any remedies out there?
Oil leak slow leak.
free estimate some place
front rear end is out and transfer case also
When I first start my truck and put into drive, the transmission shifts roughly from 1st to 2nd gear (not bad for any other gears, though). There also seems to be a high pitch squeal at higher RPM's in first gear, right before shifting to 2nd. However, the more I drive and the warmer the transmission gets, the shifting seems to be a lot smoother (what I would consider normal) and the squeal goes away. This has been going on for almost a year, but hasn't seemed to get any worse. Would anyone have any ideas to what is happening and any solutions before I take it in for repair?
i dont know where grease points are on 03 silverado ss 1500
The noise sounds like an out of round tire ruing on something but it is not that. I do not see any drive shaft issues or any leaking. I just purchased the truck with no warranty.
How many grease points are there on 03 Silverado SS 1500 pick up & where are they located?
Rubbing noise when turning rattling noise when driving 15 mph and above tire keeps losing pressure every one or two days. tire checked for all leaks and rotated still problem consist
This noise only happens when going slow in parking lots turning left.
how do you fix the tailgate latch if the tailgate is closed?
What is the OEM spec for auto trans fluid in the '03 Silverado SS, 6.0liter engine? Is it synthetic? Is it Dexron IV?

I will provide lunch and dinner both Wednesday and Thursday as well as snacks and beverages to keep us energized!
Learn With Me
I know many of you already know a lot about me, but I want to take a moment to re-introduce myself and simply tell you how thrilled I am that you are here and interested in attending my first workshop! When I first picked up a camera I had no idea what would happen or just how much it would change my life. For so long I'd felt like nothing really made sense in my life. I got up every day and did the same job. I was comfortable, but I was really unhappy. I didn't know how unhappy I was until I found my true calling and passions in life. I'd always played it safe in my life until I opted to risk it all. I graduated high school, I went to college and got a degree, I found myself in a good career and I married the man of my dreams. Yet something was still missing. Once I left the "safe" route behind, I found a reason to want to get out of bed every day. I found a spark in my soul that ultimately pushed me to go places I never thought possible. I realized that I was meant to do this all along, it just took me awhile to get there.
I don't have all the answers, but I can tell you that I have heart. I have passion and I have learned through failures and triumphs just what it takes to build a successful business from scratch. I can tell you that it goes much deeper than simply taking good pictures. I hope this workshop serves as much more than an educational space but opens up the door to making some real and authentic connections with fellow Dream Chasers. I truly believe this is the start of something really special and I cannot wait to see you in July!
I'm holding nothing back from you. By attending this workshop I want to tell/show you absolutely everything I know. There are no secrets and there are no "off topic" limitations when you come to the place I call home. This is your opportunity to learn and grow with not only me, but fellow photographers in the industry!
While I do share a lot of information in the Dream Chasers Facebook Group, I don't dish everything. It's not that I don't want to tell you everything but I want there to be value in the opportunity to learn alongside me in person. I'm giving you my all and know how important it is to trust someone you are investing your time and money with and I want your experience with me to be nothing short of incredible. Due to limited availability payment is due in full upon signing of contract. Once confirmed you will receive your invoice and contract. I can't wait to see you in July!

A New Orleans woman who pocketed her father's Social Security benefits for nearly a quarter of a century after his death pleaded guilty in federal court last week to theft of government funds.
Laverne Rose, a longtime office manager and secretary, received $282,403 in government money between her father's death in 1990 and last year, when the Social Security Administration finally detected the fraud and stopped the payments, according to court documents.
In an interview Monday, Rose, 69, expressed remorse for continuing to accept her father's benefits. She said she knew that it was illegal and has been struggling to keep her emotions in check since appearing in court. She is unsure whether she will go to prison.
"I'm sorry it happened," said Rose, who works for the Algiers Charter School Association. "It's a real unfortunate situation."
Rose faces up to 10 years behind bars, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office, though she likely would receive a far shorter term even if she doesn't qualify for probation. She is scheduled to be sentenced May 13 by U.S. District Judge Kurt Engelhardt.
Before and after his Dec. 10, 1990, death, Rose's father, Walter Rose, received monthly Social Security retirement benefits wired to a bank account he held jointly with his daughter. Court documents say the Social Security Administration did not learn of the elder Rose's death until "about February 2014." Laverne Rose told Social Security investigators in June that she had spent all of the payments in question.
Asked whether she had failed to report her father's death, Rose said she had, in fact, notified the government of her father's passing.
"I had reported it, and I guess it wasn't documented. After that, I just didn't follow up on it anymore," Rose said. The payments "were something I knew I wasn't supposed to get."
The Social Security Administration did not respond to a request for comment Monday on why the payments had continued for so many years.
A spokeswoman for U.S. Attorney Kenneth Polite did not return a call seeking comment.
Rose's case is hardly unique. Last year, a 70-year-old Arizona man was sentenced to six months in federal prison after he admitted receiving nearly $200,000 in Social Security benefits paid to his mother for 23 years after her death. The judge in that case said the defendant, Raymond O'Dell, deserved jail time in light of his "decades of criminal behavior."
In 2012, Debra Fisher, of St. Tammany Parish, walked into the Slidell Police Department to confess that some two years had passed since her father died and that she was still using his Social Security benefits to pay her rent. Instead of reporting his death, she had cut off his hands with an X-Acto knife and stuffed his remains into an ice chest, which the authorities found tightly sealed with duct tape.
In attempting to explain her actions, Fisher told a detective that her father had been "the only one that had money coming in," adding that she and her roommate would have been "out on the streets" had his death been discovered.
Fisher was sentenced to 10 years in prison after a jury found her guilty, among other counts, of stealing some $33,000 in Social Security checks — payments that continued to be deposited into her father's account after his death.
The Social Security Administration's inspector general released an audit about two years ago that found the agency had improperly paid some $31 million to more than 1,500 deceased beneficiaries.

Why Your Cell Phone Causes Sleep Problems
It's so hard to put down our phones and tablets at night because we feel like we might miss out on something important, or we want to watch just one last video, or read just one more article. But the trouble with technology is that it doesn't mesh well with sleep. Sleep experts recommend turning off the TV, putting our phone out of reach, and turning off tablets a few hours before bed in order to enhance our quality of sleep. For many of us, those few hours before bed can feel like a scarce resource, and the idea of limiting technology use during that time sounds constricting. We've known for a while that technology can negatively impact sleep but it wasn't until recently that researchers started to understand just how much our devices affect our sleep.
A new study from Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston discovered that the impact late-night technology use has on sleep quality is greater than previously thought. The study followed two groups of 12 study participants; one group read on an iPad for four hours before bed each night for five consecutive nights. The second group read printed books in dim light, and after a week the groups switched. The iPad group showed lower levels of melatonin, a hormone linked to sleepiness. They also experienced shorter restorative REM cycles, delayed circadian rhythms, and felt sleepier the next morning despite getting eight hours of sleep. The blue light from many devices, not just the iPad, can have a negative effect on our melatonin levels because this type of light tells our body to stay awake and alert.
If turning off technology a few hours before bed sounds like too much, try starting with small changes. Start by turning off technology a half hour before bed, then shift to an hour, etc. If you're ready to try this, let us know how it works out for you. Is it easier to fall asleep at night? Do you feel more rested? Let us know in the comment section! We love hearing sleep success stories.

Investors owning close to five percent of Walgreens shares lobbied the company's management to use its $16 billion takeover of Swiss based pharmacy Boots to re-domicile its tax base. Analysts at UBS said Walgreens tax rate was expected to be 37.5 percent compared with only 20 percent for Boots.

By Joe Webb I have a confession. I like the idea of sustainability. I even talk a pretty good game. But, to be honest, I suck at it. I don't garden. I shop at Wal-Mart. I drive an 8-cylinder Jeep. I only recycle about a third of what I should. I eat a LOT of meat. And I like it. In fact, for all my talk about conservation and protecting wild places, I'm not really very "green" in my own home. I don't say those things pridefully. In fact, there's a good bit in those statements that I'm not a … [Read more...]

Replacing Pears with Native Oaks
April 13, 2012 by Leave a Comment
by John HumphreysIt was an easy winter in the North-East. A few minor snowfalls " an inch or so " and tons of sunny days. And we have entered spring with some marvelous weather too.But we were dreading what winter might have in store when, last October 29th, an ice storm of great ferocity came through, tearing down trees right, left, and center. Our prettiest trees, two Bradford Pears that had been planted when the house was first built, were literally rent limb from limb, to make the … [Read more...]

By Erick Smith, USA TODAY
Defending champion: Coming off the first national title in school history, Minnesota-Duluth returns 11 starters. Not back is QB Ted Schlafke, who threw for 35 touchdowns in leading the 15-0 Bulldogs. Filling that void will be one of coach Bob Nielson's priorities. The running game has no concerns with Isaac Odim returning after rushing for 1,638 yards and scoring 30 total touchdowns. On defense, LB Robbie Aurich and DB Cole Strilzuk are standouts on a unit that finished third in total defense.
2009 contenders: Any discussion has to start with Grand Valley State (Mich.). The Lakers return QB Brad Iciek and have the motivation of their double-overtime loss to Minnesota-Duluth in the quarterfinals. ... Last year was another disappointing finish for Northwest Missouri State with a fourth consecutive loss in the title game. Defense should be a strong suit with eight starters returning, including DL Sean Paddock and DB Myles Burnsides. ... Delta State (Miss.) averaged more than 36 points in 2008 but could be more explosive this season. Four starting linemen are back to provide time for QB Garrett DeWitt to find explosive WR Trevar Deed. ... Abilene (Texas) Christian lost key players, including four-year starting QB Billy Malone and RB Bernard Scott, last year's Harlon Hill Trophy winner as the division's player of the year. Zach Stewart looks to be Malone's replacement. The star of the defense is DE Aston Whiteside, who led the team with nine sacks and 15 tackles for loss as a freshman last year. ... For the second year in row, California (Pa.) welcomes a quarterback from Division I. Josh Portis joins the Vulcans after stints at Florida and Maryland. Fifteen starters are back from the team that reached last year's semifinals. ... Pittsburg (Kan.) State lost twice to conference rival Northwest Missouri State in 2008. Improvement on defense is expected with eight returning starters on that side.
Story lines: Northwest Missouri State and Abilene will help kick off the season Thursday when the Wildcats host the Bearcats. ... Eleven years removed from his coaching gig at Auburn, Terry Bowden returns to the sideline with North Alabama. He has several transfers, including two former Atlantic Coast Conference players: QB Harrison Beck (North Carolina State) and WR Preston Parker (Florida State). ... Staying in the ACC, Cam Sexton led North Carolina to wins against Miami (Fla.), Notre Dame and Boston College in 2008. Faced with being a backup in Chapel Hill, he joined Catawba (N.C.) for his final season of eligibility. ... Carson-Newman (Tenn.) coach Ken Sparks enters the season with 276 wins, fourth among active coaches.
What they're playing for: NCAA championship, Dec. 12 in Florence, Ala.
Players to watch
Ashland (Ohio) QB Billy Cundiff (3,776 passing yards and 37 touchdowns)
Northwest Missouri State RB LaRon Council (1,739 rushing yards and 35 touchdowns)
Central Washington WR Johnny Spevak (1,442 receiving yards and 20 touchdowns)
West Texas A&M OT J'Marcus Webb (anchors line that allowed 19 sacks)
Colorado School of Mines DL Marc Schiechl (69 tackles and 13½ sacks)
Delta State LB Lardester Hicks-Green (100 tackles and team-high 15½ tackles for loss)
California (Pa.) DB Terrence Johnson (46 tackles and five interceptions)

Hi All;
I was wondering if there was an indicative timeframe for the MU-MIMO functionality to be enabled / become available? Will it be this year, next?
This is the most interesting feature IMHO, it'd be nice to when a timeline.
Its November now. Any news about a time frame yet? At some seminars this summer it was said 'by the end of this year'? Are we closing in?
This MU-MIMO wil it work in GPS (tdma) mode only? Or also in 'legacy' (3rd party) mode?
MU-MIMO only works with the WiFi Interop (CSMA) protocol. We found that the bigger benefit was in sharing spectrum among overlapping APs in micropop deployments so are focusing on doing that well. You need GPS-Sync (TDMA) to do that, and the T in TDMA means that every client gets a separate time slice that can change based on demand.
hmm. Does this mean MU-MIMO is not soon to be expected?
It also means an A5 on its own in a 3rd party (not my controlled network) crowdes spectrum is not doing so much better then any other AP? (Apart maybe for the 4x2 network setup?)
I was hoping with MU-MIMO we would be able to serve more clients from a single AP against the same client speed limits... but this is still far away future?
Actually found some document stating MU-MIMO would outperform TDMA performance.(https://mediatum.ub.tum.de/doc/621059/621059.pdf)
Since your GPS mode is also only possible in a full Mimosa (with several small Mimosa cells) setup to make better re-use of the spectrum it might be a better business model to develop MU-MIMO at higher pace.Not only could it possibly perform better (and later still be embedded in the TDMA protocol as some documents makes me believe) but it would also make it easier for existing WISPs to transite from other brand to Mimosa. The MU-MIMO would also work with 3rd party client devices (in transition or ultimate) where for the GPS option an all Mimosa deployment is needed.....Many WISPS will be held back in investment if they need to changeout their whole network where a start with the AP's only would make things more easy.
Wouldn't it help Mimosa penetrade the market faster?
I think you need some more asterisks on your specifications page then. It comes off as pretty misleading.
So this is a good as it gets? I can either have MU-MIMO in WiFi interop or TDMA without MU-MIMO? If so I feel misled and disappointed. I'll wait to see but I am glad we did a very very small deployment and if a few CPE's are all I need to swap out to put the testers back on our production system then it was a lesson learned.
Hi Mario and Rudy,
There is definitely a lot more we plan to do with MU-MIMO. It is just that we have prioritized delivery of a high-quality GPS-Sync (TDMA) release later this quarter that will do the following:
It lays the groundwork for additional innovations, and provides a method to predictably scale network-wide capacity by making effective use of spectrum. This continues to be a primary goal for Mimosa.
Here's where we stand with MU-MIMO...
We see a 10-20% improvement in CSMA with the antenna matrices working to find compatible transmission nulls dynamically. Larger capacity improvements (at a single AP) typically require more transmit antennas and processing power. So far, the only systems that have delivered significant results employ 64 or 128 antenna arrays to achieve the necessary nulling - a massive cost trade-off.
While we can simulate better results in labs with consistent traffic, real user traffic is less consistent (e.g. occasional text messages versus 4k video streaming). Inconsistent traffic reduces the practical capacity, and limits MU-MIMO systems from scaling linearly regardless of antenna count.
Rather than relying on just MU-MIMO to optimize a single AP, GPS-Sync (TMDA) solves the colocation problem AND provides some very promising opportunities for continued MU-MIMO development.
Here are some approaches we are pursuing:
Deployments with non-overlapping antenna patterns present natural nulls where clients don't overlap. Rather than introducing cost and complexity with larger antenna arrays, clients are naturally isolated with smaller, more-compact sectors. We have a bunch of patent work in this area in particular, and we have several planned improvements on the roadmap.
The LTE community has seen similar cost/size/performance limitations of MU-MIMO. To augment client capacity scaling, they have pushed toward use of OFDMA, allowing coordination of OFDM tones to each client (spectral diversity rather than channel diversity). We intend to use similar techniques that will allow the AP to communicate with each client using a unique OFDM mask that the client can support, and simultaneously use remaining OFDM tones for other clients. This will translate to client capacity gains, and provide a significant interference management advancement in fixed wireless.
Hi Chris,
The TDMA/GPS feature is welcomed. Any idea how close this is to general release?
The 2 items you mention that you are pursuing - will these appear on the existing A5 roadmap, or is this a different product? And what sort of timescale are we talking - months, year(s)?
Great ideas, but nothing to buy than a normal 4 chain AP doing normal 802.11ac.
The tecnical explanations all sound very nice too me but the major part I'd like to hear is when? And that seems to be lacking.I learned about Mimosa early 2014 and was enthousiast from day one about all the tecnical advances presented in the creation of this ultimate (for now) PtMP system available for the 5Ghz band. Ok, I was told "by the end of the year". That ment 2014..... and more related to the hardware only..Now this summer the PtMP in Europe finally came available and yeah, the same sheering story on the performance was demostrated in slick presentations and enthousiast stories of sales...We bought probably one of the first A5's in Europe to try which learned us that half of all the promises made are just that, promises....I am also glad we only bought one A5 with three C5's +G2 combo's for try outs. Many software issues, many features not working.
Like 99% of future users of Mimosa we are migrating from another platform (Mikrotik in our case) to pursue a higher quality service level with more speeds but so far the 'interop mode' only available is basically throwing us back in time...We have 30 SXT's that came from an 400Mhz cpu OmniTik 802.11an tdma system towards now an A5 high cpu 802.11an system. We are in a congested spectrum and althoug indeed plain 'legacy' 802.11 would be much worse on the OmniTiks we now see hardly improvement over the tdma working OmniTiks.
Due the higher processing power and probably some better antenna/stream caracteristisks we can sustain higher combined througput on the AP (we went from 40-45 mb max to 60-70Mb on tests running from several clients silmultanously) and special single stream traffic (important for streaming video) was doubled in capacity.
But we now compare an Mimosa AP with 10 times the cost to an OmniTik!I`ll bet if we'd fit a 720Mhz Netmetal on an 12dBi dual polarized Omni antenna the difference is gone.....
But that is not what we'd hoped for. We'd hope the A5 with this truck load of new tecnologies would blow away the competition in capacity both as stability and latency..... what a deception for now...
So yes, what is the time line? We'd understand things might be coming, but soon? And secondly, for this GPS sync'd deployment we are forced to first buy a whole network of new C5's. This is going to be a major investment for us and that without any guarantee we will see improvements...
If there is no reasonable foresight I think we are going to fit a Netmetal and put the A5 on standby for a while awaiting those other promises If the real thing doesn't arrive within half a year it might well be the unit ends up on e-bay...
We were realy hoping to give a show-off with Mimosa in Europe. But this might well end up in a show down if things don't move soon..
Hi @Chris,
We're getting close to the end of the quarter. Any news on the GPS/TDMA?
Santa is coming soon. Will he be bringin the sync package to us? He'd better hurry up..... 10 days to go..
"The last reply to this topic was 224 days ago."
Any updates?
TDMA GPS-Sync (SRS) was delivered and is available now. As soon SRS was released, we were flooded with requests for other features ahead of MU-MIMO. We tend to prioritize development based on user demand, and we've been told by many WISPs that there are more immediate needs - like automated client provisioning.
@Andrewski, Can you tell us why MU-MIMO is your biggest need? We'd like to understand the priority from your perspective.

Chris Bourque Carries on Father's Hockey Name, Toils in Providence Awaiting Chance With Bruins (Video)
Originally posted on NESN.com | Last updated 11/22/12
Ray Bourque was one of the all-time great defensemen, playing 21 seasons with the Bruins before finally capturing a Stanley Cup with the Colorado Avalanche The Bruins acquired Bourque's son, Chris, this past May in a trade, and the younger Bourque is hoping to add his own name to Bruins lore in the coming seasons. Unlike his dad, Chris may play left wing, but Chris has been following his dad to the rink since he was old enough to stand, so chances are he picked up some knowledge about how to play positions beyond defense, as well. Check out the video above for a NESN Daily feature on the special father-son relationship the Bourque's share.

Drakken's stolen Brain-Switch Machine causes Kim and Ron to switch brains.
Mission Briefing
- Villain: Dr. Drakken, Shego
- Evil plot: hold the world hostage with an experimental weapon.
- Kim's transportation:
Episode Description
- Main article: Mind Games/Transcript
We star off outside Middleton high school, and the board says 'Regional CHEER FINALS Friday" and shows Kim and the cheerleaders practicing their routine. Resulting in Kim running backwards and bumping into the others. Bonnie criticises Kim's routine, only to get a response. Ron appears claiming to have something important, Kim ignores him and starts the routine again. To get her attention, Ron spells KIM out through a megophone, interrupting the practice and Kim pulls Ron over to the sideline and asks "What?". Ron pulls out Kim's Kimmunicator to find Drakken on the screen. THEME SONG. After some confused questions from Kim, Drakken announces that he is actually Private Dobbs, having had Drakken swapped their brains, and says Shego is coming, signal is cut off and Kim complains to Wade with one single word, "Wade!". Kim and Ron are walking in the hallway and start debating about whos' life is harder and carries on until Wade calls them in the lunch line/queue to say that Drakken's lair is in the middle of the Grand Canyon. A man called Baxter has lent Ron and Kim donkeys to ride on, and Ron has some bad luck. After finding the shack where Drakken's lair is supposed to be, a scorpion crawls up Ron's leg, therefore scaring him, and he jumps onto a pipe connected to an old fashioned oven and a lift/elevator rises out of the ground. They take it down and Ron asks "Have we been to this lair before?", and Kim's response is "They all start to look alike after a while.". They see the "Brain Switch" machine. Muffled yells are heard, and Kim uses an x-ray feature on her Kimmunicator to find Drakken's body and opens the crate containing it. After releasing Dobbs, Shego comes and battles Kim, while Ron tries to lead Dobbs away, but get stopped by guards. Kim uses and battles Shego in the air again, but Shego cuts her rope and Kim hurtles towards the BS machine and hits it, so a helmet connects to her head. Ron gets hit away and also hits the machine and a helmet connects to his head. Meanwhile Rufus lands on a big red button on the BS machine control panel, and the message "BRAIN SWITCH ENGAGED" appear on the screen. A large bolt of energy goes down the wires of the machine and Kim and Ron are shown as silhouettes travelking to eachothers' bodies, followed by a flash of white light. Ron and Kim pant heavily and look at each other. They say "You're me?!" and then "I'M YOU!" looking down at themselves. Kim (Ron's body) then claps her hand over Ron's mouth and says with wide eyes, "This, is so WRONG!".

Memorable Quotes
Shego: What does "neutronalize" mean, anyway?
Drakken: I have no idea. But the military had it, it was top secret--that's good enough for me.
Dr. Ann Possible: (to Kim in Ron's body) I hear you honey, but as a certified neurosurgeon, I've got to say, it's just not possible to swap brains.
Ron (in Kim's body): Point taken Doctor P, but how else do you explain my bare midriff?
Kim (in her body): Mr Dumb Luck.
Ron: Not Dumb luck Kim, Dumb skills.
- When Kim (in Ron's body) kicks one of Drakken's henchman in the face, a sticker on Ron's shoe can be seen. The sticker reads "MADE IN HOLLYWOOD U.S.A."
- This episode features the first mention of Professor Dementor, although he doesn't appear until later on in the series.
- Dan Castellenaneta, who voiced Private Dobbs in this episode, works with Nancy Cartwright (voice of Rufus) on The Simpsons.
Production Information
- it's the 6th episode to be made and the 8th episode to be showed on television
- When Ron and Kim switch minds, Rufus activates the machine by landing on a button on the control panel. However, for every mind switch after this, a lever is pulled to activate the machine.
- Ron and Kim(and prvate dobbs and draken) shouldn't have kept their own voices when they switched bodies, because voices are part of the body, not the brain. However, this was almost certainly intended for the sake of making it easier to associate Kim in Ron's body and Ron in Kim's body.
- When we first see the Possible family eating, you see Dobbs (in Drakken's body) "clean his plate". But a few shots later, you see little pieces of vegetables.
- After Shego says, "You know, this body's kind of cute when you're angry," when Drakken grabs her hand, for a split second Shego's lipstick disappears
- Ron(in Kim's body)is talking to somebody about the year book cimitee.However,when everyone is saying kim to Kim,her voice changes into a voice of someone who saw Kim and said "hi Kim"
- After Ron says "Gimme a break here I'm wearin' a skirt!", we look to Kim (in Ron's body) and Ron's/Kim's hair isn't waving anymore from running.
- When the cheerleaders are in a pyramid, to the bottom right there is a non-cheerleader in a cheerleader outfit.

Viennese Chocolate Cream Cake
Recipe by Rita1652
This is a Show Stopper and Delish! It's amazing that 9 ingredients can make this! Lots of work but worth it. Can be prepared a couple day ahead. Be sure to use cake flour.
Top Review by evelynathens
Definitely a show-stopper. This cake was very easy to make - just make sure to leave time for the chocolate cream to set (I made it in the morning and assembled the cake in the early evening). Being lazy, I used purchased chocolate shavings instead of making my own chocolate curls - still pretty, and stupidly simple, the way I like it. Made this for my dad's 72nd birthday today and we all loved it - especially dad. Thanks ~Rita~ :-)
