|Highlander the Series - The Complete First Season
|Tuesday, 12 November 2002
Due to curiosity about guest star Nigel Terry (Arthur in John Boorman's "Excalibur"), I tuned in to one "Highlander" Season One episode, "Eye of the Beholder," and found immediately that the series had a lot more going for it than I had initially supposed in terms of themes, humor and complexity. Although it would be another two years until the series fully hit its stride, it was already offering something out of the ordinary narratively; in terms of production value, it remains one of the best-looking quasi-period shows ever to come down the pike, holding its own and then some against much better-funded product from the major studios.
"Highlander," for those who don't recall, began as a 1986 feature film starring Christopher Lambert as Connor MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod, born in 1500s Scotland, who discovers after a battlefield death that he's an Immortal, unable to permanently die unless he is decapitated. He is mentored by another Immortal, Ramirez (played by Sean Connery), who teaches him that when one Immortal beheads another, the survivor inherits all of the deceased's power in a spectacular transference called the Quickening. Some day it will be the time of the Gathering, when all the remaining Immortals will battle to become the only one, who will inherit all Immortal power and rule the Earth for good or ill. "Highlander" being a feature film, Connor winds up as the last Immortal and wins the Prize.
"Highlander the Series" effectively lops off the end of the feature, so that Connor isn't the last Immortal (not even close, as we discover), but even so, while this sounds like a fertile premise for action, it didn't sound necessarily promising otherwise. Again, this initial impression reflected more a lack of imagination on my part that that of the series creators, because "Highlander the Series" turned out to have a ton on its mind and, as it wound up running for six seasons, plenty of opportunity to explore all sorts of permutations in moral conundrums. One big issue, introduced in Episode 13, the seminal "Band of Brothers," is, what if you're an Immortal who absolutely refuses to fight, not from cowardice but from principle? If a fellow Immortal admires your ethics, is he then unprincipled if he does fight?
"Highlander the Series" had a business strategy that is almost as inventive as anything we see onscreen. An American-Canadian-French (and, first season, German) co-production, its financing structure set new parameters for syndicated TV in the 1990s. Rather appropriately, it has a similarly unusual history in reaching DVD, with parent company Davis-Panzer Productions releasing an eight-disc boxed set (actually nine discs, counting the DVD-ROM one containing the series scripts, which shares a sleeve with Disc Eight) available only through DPP's website – Highlander-Official.com – and now Anchor Bay releasing a nine-disc boxed set (the ninth disc is again a DVD-ROM offering with scripts, except it officially gets its own birth in the packaging) that is available via Amazon.com and through regular retail outlets.
Prices of the boxed sets are comparable. Anchor Bay has arguably more handsome and unquestionably sturdier packaging, while the Highlander Store throws in added goodies like t-shirts and hats (and makes their product available for sale earlier – a set of all six seasons of "Highlander" will be available through Highlander-Official.com reportedly as soon as this October, while Anchor Bay customers will have to wait until some time next year for Seasons Four-Six). As far as can be ascertained by sequential comparison (my system doesn't allow for side-by-side viewing), the content and quality of the discs is identical – and very commendable.
Each episode comes with its own on-camera, episode-specific interview segment by executive producer Bill Panzer (partnered with Peter Davis in Davis-Panzer Productions) and "Watcher Chronicles," a fun (if rather hard to read, with white letters against complicated background) text-based bit of backstory on the characters and swords we see in each episode, written by "Highlander" staffer with Donna Lettow (actor/sword expert Anthony de Longis writes about the weaponry). One partial downer is that the episodes are broken into only five or six chapters apiece, though on the positive side, this allows all of the icons for the various chapters to appear simultaneously on the individual episode menus (the designers handily include a suitably combative photo on chapters that contain fights, so action fans can jump straight to them). Episodes that contain Quickenings also have a big "Q" on the episode menu. Since many, if not most, viewers will want to see the fight preceding the Quickening as well as the ensuing pyrotechnics, a bit of slow-motion backtracking with the remote may be in order. (An added note – first-time viewers may want to try to ignore the Q or lack thereof on the menu, as it's a spoiler.)
Lambert's Connor turns up in Season One's opener, "The Gathering," as we meet Duncan MacLeod (Adrian Paul), referred to as Connor's "kinsman" (actually, all Immortals are foundlings, so there's no way of knowing if they're really related or not), born in 1592 in the same Scottish village. Duncan has managed to stay out of the Game – the constant conflict between Immortals – for the last 12 years, living as an antiques dealer in an unnamed American city (actually, Vancouver quasi-posing as Seattle) with his mortal love Tessa (Alexandra Vandernoot). However, their tranquility is shattered when three visitors converge on the antiques shop at the same time. One is young burglar Richie Ryan (Stan Kirsch), who gets an eyeful and then some when his break-in is interrupted by the masked Slan Quince (guest Richard Moll, chewing the scenery), who has come to challenge Duncan, and Connor, who has come to challenge Slan.
This introductory episode has high points, low points and some stuff that shakes itself out over subsequent installments. The deliberate dialogue borrowings from Monty Python, the easy charm of the relationship between Paul and Lambert (albeit not to be revisited until the feature film "Highlander: Endgame"), the sexy romanticism of the relationship between MacLeod and Tessa – depicted not as a screechy, in-the-dark Lois Lane but rather as a woman who handles her lover's supernatural aspects with remarkable pragmatism – and the impressive athleticism of the sword duels are all upfront assets. Moll's cartoony villainy and WWF get-up, however, are way over-the-top – thankfully, the series doesn't revisit the extreme camp in performance or sartorial styles too often thereafter. The flashbacks – most episodes juxtapose incidents from Duncan's (and, eventually, other Immortals') past to illustrate his present straits – aren't immediately evident as the wonderful storytelling device they evolve into throughout the show, and Kirsch's Richie initially seems a rather annoying audience surrogate. However, Richie picks up steam later, though he won't fully come into his own until Season Two (when it becomes a lot clearer why MacLeod takes the youth under his wing – although, as is pointed out in the supplemental material, attentive viewers may pick it up from clues in Episode One).
What is immediately striking about "The Gathering" is how beautiful the color reproduction is. Blues are vivid, the pinks and purples of a sunset are cinematically gorgeous, night sequences are suitably dark without being either murky or succumbing to that curse of TV-episodic-to-DVD transfers, the infrared look. This is true throughout all the episodes on the boxed set. Sound is fine, with a very good balance between dialogue, effects and underscoring, although like all TV episodic DVDs I've encountered so far, the 5.1 is not discrete. Queen's "Masters of the Universe" jubilant theme music, heard over both opening and closing credits, comes across well.
On Disc 1 after "The Gathering" is "Family Tree," in which Richie tries to track down his biological father, while flashbacks show us the disastrous events following Duncan's first death and resurrection. The colors are again impressive – Chapter 3 boasts rich reds, greens and blues, and lifelike skin tones. Sound mixing is laudable, with good clean foley on footsteps, opening and closing doors, etc., though Chapter 6 produces a bit of congestive hum in the subwoofer when Richie is tuning up Mac's car. The episode, one of a number with no Immortals in the present, has no Quickening.
Disc 1 concludes with "The Road Not Taken" has flashbacks in China, with brilliant blues, crimsons and yellows in a Chapter 2 flashback. This episode finds Duncan trying to stop an old, old comrade (Soon Tek-Oh) who has been meddling with the mortal drug trade. There's a whale of a fight in Chapter 4, though the color seems a little faded here, owing to indirect lighting in the scene. The episode gives Duncan a crisis of conscience – what to do about a fellow Immortal who is a hazard to others, yet unable to defend himself – but doesn't deal with its issues as well as later installments will.
Disc 2 opens with "Innocent Man," which guest stars veteran character actor Vincent Schiavelli as a mentally disturbed mortal who witnesses a Quickening and is blamed for the decapitation by the actual perpetrator, a corrupt Immortal lawman. Chapter 1 has the first print flaw to be found in the first four episodes, a brief flash of graininess as Duncan and Richie drive through a tunnel. Panzer provides a few interesting details on episode director Jorge Montesi.
"Free Fall" introduces both the first female Immortal we meet – Felice Martins – and the series' happy habit of casting rockers. Joan Jett does a pretty creditable turn as an apparently new Immortal rescued from "suicide" by Richie and taken on as a student by Duncan.
"Bad Day in Building A" is (excluding MacLeod, of course) an Immortal-free episode, designed, as Panzer explains, to be shot quickly on one location. This is not the episode you want to use to introduce anybody to "Highlander," as it does more or less fit the interchangeable syndicated action hero show motif (anybody can do a "Die Hard" homage). Tessa goes to pay a parking ticket and she and Duncan wind up being held hostage by criminals who take over the court building. It is notable primarily for a fairytale that Duncan tells a child about where Immortals come from, for guest actors Andrew Divoff (of "Wishmaster" fame) and Vladimir Kulich (the Beowulf character in "13th Warrior) and for the fact that series lead Paul, who made it unscathed through some tremendously hairy stunts over the years, sustained a serious injury being dragged down a hallway.
Disc Three commences with "Mountain Men," which finds Tessa getting kidnapped by an Immortal survivalist (Marc Singer) who is looking for a bride. The episode has breathtaking Canadian Rockies scenery and guest turns from Singer, John Dennis Johnston and Wes Studi to recommend it.
"Deadly Medicine" actually has a strong "Highlander"-related premise, but reportedly (albeit not in the DVD supplements) the creative team was so unhappy with the results that it was never revisited. Duncan is held captive by an unscrupulous doctor who wants to find out what makes our hero so freakishly resilient. Joe Pantoliano plays the louse with sweaty but not overstated slimeball gusto, and there's an awesome hit-and-run stunt in Chapter 1.
"Sea Witch" finds Duncan going up against an Immortal (Stephen Macht) who screwed him over royally once before, in WWII-era Russia, and has a B plot dealing with Tessa's awareness that, if she stays with MacLeod, she will not bear children (Immortals are sterile, though hardly impotent). The episode boasts a subtle but nice sound effect in Chapter 5, with a metallic echo in the rears when a body hits a bulkhead. It's also the first time we see a Quickening caused by something other than an Immortal's sword. Panzer gives well-deserved and informative praise to the production design team.
On Disc 4, "Revenge Is Sweet" has MacLeod targeted by a mortal woman (Vanity) who mistakenly believes that he's killed her Immortal boyfriend. Vanity acquits herself pretty commendably with a sword, especially considering (as Panzer points out in his interview) that she had all of one day to prepare for her fight with Paul. There's a very cool bit of swordplay as MacLeod launches into a duel with his greatcoat still flapping around his calves and Chapter 5 has great foley as the two Immortals' blades whoosh through the air.
In "See No Evil," there's a stylish black-and-white flashback to the '20s, which has MacLeod confronting an insane actor Immortal. In the present, a mortal psycho is copycatting the deceased lunatic's crimes – again, not a premise that serves "Highlander's" unique format all that well, though there's a surprising epiphany at the end.
"Eyewitness" fits the premise of the series far better, as Tessa witnesses a murder and feels compelled to investigate, even before it turns out that the crime involves an Immortal who had lost interest in his mortal lover as she aged. Chapter 1 has some exquisitely specific shots – sparkles on Tessa's gown, for instance, are pinpoint accurate, with no artifacts – and exteriors have stunning color, though a couple of interior shots have a hazy pinkish hue. Chapter 2 has some subtle bagpipes in the underscoring, though the underscoring itself sometimes gets a bit too strong for the quieter parts of the dialogue track. In Chapter 4, however, an explosion is very well modulated and rain shows up clearly on the screen. Although this episode has no flashbacks, it still has one of the season's most graceful shot transitions (credit editor Donald Paonessa), utilizing light on water to move from one scene to another.
Disc 5 begins with "Band of Brothers." For the uninitiated, this is probably the best episode to use as an introduction to "Highlander" Season One. Here we meet Darius (Werner Stocker), an Immortal priest who has spent millennium refusing to engage in the combat that engulfs his kind, and who is a mentor of sorts to Duncan. We also experience "Highlander's" traiditional mid-season shift from Vancouver locations to Paris. The lengthy climactic swordfight between MacLeod and the ancient mercenary Grayson (James Horan) is thrilling and suspenseful, set against a backdrop of vivid mountains of sulfur.
The production values get notably richer in the rest of the season, as the French locations and weather offer realism and sumptuousness to the flashbacks. In "For Evil's Sake," MacLeod has a rematch with an old nemesis, an Immortal assassin whose trademark is costuming and performing as a mime. Chapter 1 has a startlingly good gunshot effect, and there's a nice solid impact as a motorcycle hits the pavement. Chapter 2 introduces one recurring problem with the Paris episodes – some of the French-speaking minor supporting players are noticeably dubbed into English – but this has to be weighed against irreplaceable scenic values like a touristy cruise down the Seine in Chapter 4, as a flashback shows how Duncan, fleeing cops by jumping onto a passing sightseeing boat, meets then-tour guide Tessa.
"For Tomorrow We Die" nicely illustrates in flashback MacLeod's attempts to incorporate Darius' pacifist philosophies with living in the world, while the present-day story has MacLeod trying to track down an Immortal robber whose uses lethal gas in his crimes. Roland Gift, of the Fine Young Cannibals, takes to playing a callous Immortal with beguiling ease, making such a good villain that he was brought back several times in later seasons.
Disc Six contains "The Beast Below," a "Phantom of the Opera" riff directed by Daniel Vigne, famed for his feature "The Return of Martin Guerre." The Paris Opera House locations – interior, catacombs below and roof above – contribute a magnificent sense of environment, and (especially since this was made in the days before decent-looking CGI was available to the likes of hour-long episodic TV) there's no doubt that's leading man Paul in the medium shots of a climactic rooftop fight. Vigne gives the flashbacks an enchanting fairytale look and the DVD transfer preserves the hues of the artwork on the Opera House ceiling with History Channel fidelity. Disco singer Dee Dee Bridgewater is amusing as an opera diva with a mean streak.
"Saving Grace" finds Duncan saving a female Immortal with a crush on him being stalked by her Immortal ex. There is a creative decapitation, but there's something rather annoying about Grace, an Immortal who needs Duncan to fight her battles for her.
Another sort of female Immortal altogether is introduced in "The Lady and the Tiger," in which we meet MacLeod's immoral Immortal once and future fling Amanda (Elizabeth Gracen), a woman who continually lets Duncan take the fall for her light-fingered ways, with the certainty that he'll be all right. Amanda is in town with the circus, dazzles Richie, flirts with the bemused MacLeod and annoys Tessa, before Amanda's rather surly ex, fellow Immortal Blaine (Jason Isaacs, later known as Mel Gibson's adversary in "The Patriot"), turns up wanting her head. Amanda, in what we quickly perceive is normal behavior for her, offers MacLeod to Blaine instead, and winds up multiple-crossing everybody. The character is such good fun that we're not surprised when she shows up in again and again, and Isaacs demonstrates why he well deserves the film career he's now enjoying. The subwoofer actually creates some nice effects with car engines and the transfer is beautiful – in Chapter 2, we see a darkened arena where the red of the curtains does not bleed onto the environment, and sequins on the fabric twinkle just as they should.
Disc Seven commences with the above-mentioned "Eye of the Beholder," with Terry giving an astute guest turn as an Immortal pal of MacLeod's who has an eye for the ladies and is unfortunately grabby when it comes to jewelry and more unfortunately still murderous when things get inconvenient. Swordmaster Anderson provides three different sorts of conflicts – a swashbuckler straight out of "Three Musketeers" in Chapter 2, as MacLeod and Terry's character battle side by side against great odds, a serious fight within a serious fight in Chapter 4 as MacLeod tries in present and past to impress on his friend the consequences of going against MacLeod's moral code, and a final lethal duel in Chapter 5.
"Avenging Angel" guest-stars Martin Kemp of Spandau Ballet as a deranged man who is killed, revives as an Immortal and believes he's been chosen by God to exterminate sinners. MacLeod tries to teach the fledging Immortal the rules only to find that the guy has other problems. Despite some nifty locations, the premise winds up feeling too thin to sustain an entire episode.
This isn't a problem with "Nowhere to Run," which finds MacLeod, Tessa and Richie in the middle of a horrible dilemma that is only exacerbated by the Immortality issue. Tessa is visiting her old friend Alan (Anthony Stewart Head), when a young woman accuses Alan's son Mark of rape. While Mark insists he's innocent, Tessa is not so sure – and the young woman's stepfather is an Immortal out for blood. On the one hand, Duncan believes Immortals should not kill mortals, and on the other hand … The episode displays the thoughtfulness and shades of gray that mark the best of "Highlander," and has a lovely fight in a foggy wood in Chapters 5-6, though the sequence is a bit grainy.
Disc Eight contains "The Hunters," which introduces the concept of the Watchers, mortals who observe and record the doings of Immortals, but aren't supposed to interfere – although Duncan encounters a group who are exterminating Immortals in what amounts to acts of genocide. Roger Daltrey (yes, of The Who) guest-stars as MacLeod's good long-time friend Hugh Fitzcairn. Daltrey is absolutely delightful as an expansive rogue and he and Paul leap with utter zest into another of Anderson's epically-staged swashbuckling flashbacks. The loss of Darius in the episode is made more tragic still by Panzer's revelation that actor Stocker died just before filming – the grief we see onscreen seems quite real.
Disc Eight also contains a blooper reel, which has very good picture and sound (although many of the bloopers are from later seasons), and a Behind-the-Scenes featurette that aired on TV before the series began its initial 1992 run. Although the presentation is enormously cheesy (the narration is enough to give pause to the unwary), it does contain some good early interviews and rehearsal footage of Paul and Anderson.
Season One isn't the absolute best "Highlander" has to offer – the show picks up steam intermittently in Season Two, is fully on its game in Season Three and became arguably brilliant in sections of Seasons Four and Five – but it is very well-done and very entertaining. Paul and Vandernoot are charming separately and together, the swordplay has justifiably become famous and, even this early on, the show feels not quite like anything else. For fans of action, fantasy and/or the unique, "Highlander the Series" is well worth getting to know.

At the present time, amniocentesis is often used to obtain fetal cells for the testing. Amniocentesis is an expensive, invasive and potentially harmful procedure. Therefore selection of patients for amniocentesis by biochemical risk screeening tests has developed, and research into alternative procedures is actively being pursued. One avenue for this research is extraction of fetal cells from the maternal circlation. It is clear that a small number of fetal cells cross the placental barrier and sevaral approaches to identifying, extracting, concentrating and analysing these rare fetal cells are under evaluation. In addition serving a bulletin board for announcements of meetings, conferences, job opportunities, and funding sources of interest to biologists researching this dynamic field, bionet.diagnostics.prenatal is intended to provide an easy access environment facilitating: * rapid exchange of technical information between researchers in prenatal diagnostics, clinical chemistry, cytogenetics and other associated areas. * co-operation between clinical laboratories, research biologists and instrument designers permitting the technological refinements necessary for the successful implementation of new and safer procedures * discussion of the logistical and social impact of new technology in prenatal diagnosis Subscribers are welcome from academic and commercial institutions including but not limited to developmental biology, cytogenetics, haematology, pathology, immunology, cell biology, epidemiology, obstetrics and paediatrics.

Shelley teachers to get merit pay
Shelley Superintendent Bryan Jolley announced the school district will receive $208,000 in merit-pay bonuses this year at the trustees' monthly meeting Tuesday. The merit pay will be distributed to the school district today.
"The checks will be cut Dec. 5," said Jolley.
Idaho voters soundly defeated Props 1, 2 and 3. Prop 2 dealt with pay for performance.
Last Tuesday, the Idaho attorney general said the failure [of Prop 2] at the polls should not affect the payout.
In Shelley, all certificated employees who are assigned to a building will receive pay-for-performance bonuses. Certificated employees are teachers and administrators.
Certificated employees were awarded in the quartiles for growth and excellence, Jolley said.
These merit-pay bonuses will be awarded after benefits are taken out and before taxes are withdrawn. Depending in which building the certified employee teaches, the bonuses range from $1,600 to $3,600 per person.
"This is money in our pockets that we didn't have," said Jolley.
The school is awarded pay for performance to encourage cooperation, Jolley said. This is the second year the Shelley School District has used pay for performance for administrators.
"It works well," he said.
Jolley can also receive a pay for performance incentive if he meets certain guidelines set by the board.
Under policies, trustees Loren Lund and Jamey Higham reported on the discussion of the Technology Committee.
"[Social media] can be a moving target forever," Higham said. "As you drill down, it's never ending."
"I think, [we as a board], need to deal with procedures and how to deal with security and safety."
Early graduation was also discussed. Trustees suggested adding a reference to the Shelley High School (SHS) student handbook that student receive as they enter the high school.
"Students used to have a limit of the number of online credits that could be applied to high school graduation," said Jolley. The limit was six.
"That is no longer the case," he said. "Now schools need to accept credits from any accredited agency."
There is more interest in concurrent classes, Jolley said. More students are taking concurrent classes.
The SHS boys soccer and football teams each earned the state 3A academic award.
Austin Stewart won sixth place in the state boys cross country meet.
SHS girls volleyball earned third place at state.
SHS girls soccer earned first place honors at district.
The trustees are attending the Idaho School Board Association convention this week.

The mere presence of an empty play-space is enough to spark a child's imagination, but this six-panel teepee encourages creativity on both the outside as well as the in-. Take time to decorate it with your child for a bonding experience neither of you will ever forget. The two of you can dream up your own designs, or, to make the activity a bit more educational, you might try your hands at painting or embroidering old Plains Indian geometrics or traditionally embellishing the teepee with colored medallions and beads. Who knows -- the look of your tent could go in any direction. And don't forget: that's only the beginning of the fun!

OMAK Local residents who were children and young adults when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated remember having many questions and fears in the shooting's aftermath.
And, from the perspective of 50 years, they also reflect on Kennedy's legacy to them personally and to the country.
Kennedy's mystique has grown, although the passage of time has revealed both his strength and weaknesses. And, they said, the event also changed how Americans look at themselves.
"Assassinated presidents usually become revered American heroes," former Okanogan resident Allen Gibbs said. "Kennedy was something of a generational transition during the Cold War. He, his wife, the extended Kennedy family became celebrities, not typical for our presidents. His assassination magnified the celebrity status."
Kennedy's appeal to youth stirred people to think beyond themselves, he said.
"Public service became a worthy activity, (along with) setting our sights very high indeed, with the challenge to put humans on the moon. His legacy would be those dreams fulfilled," Gibbs said.
"His legacy is big, even for the short time he was president," Omak School Board member Wendell George said of the present who was in office not quite three years. "He balanced the budget and worked for the people without letting politics get in the way."
When Kennedy died, "I believe America, once again, lost its innocence and began realizing that if things are going to change for the better, then it would have to come from the common people in their everyday living," Okanogan School District Superintendent Richard Johnson said.
In the years following Kennedy's death, many social issues were tackled, such as Medicare, civil rights and voting rights.
"In some respects, because of the terrible jolt by the death of a popular president, our country not only pulled itself together, but also became stronger by becoming more active and determined in how we governed and treated all people," he said.
"As a country, we took a major step in developing the concept of democracy into our daily living. If this is true, then President Kennedy's legacy should be viewed as nothing short of remarkable, which you would expect to find in a person who loved his country more than his life," he said.
Oroville resident Ann Marie Ricevuto echoed Johnson's comments.
"The idea of giving to our country, not so much in money but in time and helping others" is part of the Kennedy legacy, she said. "We should care about people, whether we know them or not. It just made me more aware of the world outside my yard."
Cold War events "should have offered lessons about foreign interventions that later became tragic," Waterstrat said, referring to Vietnam. "It is imperative that we leave much of the Cold War ideology behind and operate intelligently."
Inchelium resident Lou Stone recalls the "haunting warning" from President Dwight D. Eisenhower, Kennedy's predecessor, of an out-of-control military-industrial complex that could damage the concept of democracy in the U.S.
"In my opinion, President Kennedy was assassinated largely due to his attempt to avoid a result anticipated in (Eisenhower's) prophetic warning about the CIA/
military/corporate machine, and his very assassination for those reasons was the warning to following presidents that 'the machine' could and would consume a resistor," he said.
"I was already scared" by world events when the president was shot, Omak resident and Police Clerk Tommye Robbins said, recalling Civil Defense patrol demonstrations, bomb shelters and practice raids.
"The practice raids were necessary, but I listened at night for the fire sirens," she said. "If the alarm was long, that indicated the Russians were on the way. Duck and roll. Hide your head. I envisioned the monkeys from 'The Wizard of Oz' dressed in uniforms of red with shotguns slung from their shoulders, all the time standing at attention. They stood on every porch in town. I was still scared."
She said youngsters were already worried about the Cuban Missile Crisis, nuclear bombs, Fidel Castro and Nikita Khrushchev, thanks to TV.
Robbins said she now sees Kennedy as a president clouded in mystery.
"Now, 50 years later, I don't understand about the correlation between the motorcade in Texas or Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby, or the police investigation or the Warren Commission," she said. "I cannot understand the truth. What is it? Now, toss in (Marilyn) Monroe, the Mafia, more money, his brothers and his wife, who abandoned the (U.S.) to be with (Aristotle) Onassis. I'm at a loss."

Reviewed by Noah (age 8)
In this story Jack and Annie go to Antarctica to find the four secrets of happiness. They go on a helicopter and a bus to Mount Everest. Their adventure was exciting and scary. I would love to have the chance to go on the same adventure and do what they did. I also liked reading about snow and winter.
My favorite character in the story is Jack because he reminds me of myself. We both remember important things.
I recommend this book because it is fun to read. I think every kid will like this book. The facts about penguins will interest readers. I think the book is great and I know you will too.

Footage of Palestinian boy killed by Israeli fire apparent hoax
In an appeals trial for a civil defamation lawsuit by the France 2 network and its cameraman, Charles Enderlin, against a media watchdog who claimed the footage was a hoax, the jury was shown 18 minutes of footage rather than the 57 seconds which were broadcast. That footage includes staged battle scenes, rehearsed ambulance evacuations, and even the boy--supposedly dead--moving and looking at the camera.
The French press, which had been siding with France 2 against Philippe Karsenty, director of the Media-Ratings watchdog group, appears to have been proven wrong and Karsenty vindicated.
Enderlin has apparently been caught fabricating other footage as well.
(This story also covered by the Wall Street Journal online, but apparently not by many other news sources, which is why I'm giving it attention.)

2k6's character design does indeed look more appealing, but bear in mind that 2k2's was the one that truly resembled the game. Story-wise, 2k2's was changed quite a bit, but the general idea was still there.
@Codine: I assume you didn't play the game, so there won't be an issue of having problem with whether the storyline stays loyal to the game or not. In that case, I do recommend you watch 2k2, but probably after 2k6 is over. 2k2 is way more dramatic, pace is just right for 13 episodes, and the OP song is simply amazing. I'm still not sure if I like florescence or Last regrets more.

That review didn't really come off as objective to me. It felt as though he started watching Kanon(2002) with the sole intention of ripping it to shreds without highlighting any of the good points.
A good review has to be impartial and tell both the bad and the good. That 'review' felt more like a personal observation than an actual review.
The following segment also highlights his ignorance of the source material,
All in all, not a very good( or informative) review of Kanon(2002).

If I remember correctly, Yuuichi was faceless in the game. He had a face in Kanon '02.
Anyways, while I agree that '02 was a nice anime, I can see why people can be turned off from it. Although the underlining story was still nice, many aspects of it ended up seemingly average. Overall it felt flawed to me, there were some things that seemed like they didn't really connect.
It was still a great anime, but it really didn't look like one.

The biggest mistake I see in a lot of people's review is they often place judgement on the series in the wrong category and reviewing it base on the wrong genre. Instead of reviewing for what it is, or trying to be, or to accomplish. The result is obviously not going to meet the standards (did it even want to in the first place? Maybe it's trying to set something new), let alone in excelling at it. The review never even bother to indicate that maybe Kanon is NOT a harem show? Maybe it is NOT really going for romance either? It's also funny how sothis stated: "In addition to the textbook romance type story, the series can't decide what kind of show it is. It ranges from generic romance, to weird supernatural/horrorish (which ends up being LAME and unrealistic), and also a depressing tragedy of sorts related to death." Yet, it never occured to him that what if it's a "slice-of-life" type of show? A slice of nearly everything; genre-wise, from a little bit of romance, a little bit of humor, a little bit of fantasy, a little bit of horror, etc.
All in short. That's a really bad review with little to no credibility on what sothis is talking about.

sothis isn't a hard critic if you've read his other reviews, he just hates kanon i guess :P. I agree with sothis on this statement "Bah. I wouldn't touch this one with a 10 foot pole again." but I'm referring to kanon 2002. I really dislike the character design in 2002. I haven't played the game so it's probably really something special for those who have, but I couldn't stand through 14 episodes of it.

Even I didn't like the character design of Kanon 2002 too much, and the animation gave me headaches at times. Then again, so many interesting characters, so much drama during the second half, and even a romance arc that worked for me... since Yuuichi commented on his prospects of getting a girlfriend at the beginning of Kanon 2002 this aspect couldn't be neglected in this series (still not making Kanon 2002 a Romance or even a Harem series this way but they had to deliver something in this category, which they did; Kanon 2006 appearently doesn't want to do that, and it doesn't need to).

So far I've watched up to episode 15 from 2006 and I've got to say It's a good anime. Although the first 8 or 10 episodes were completely boring in my opinion. The anime seriously does look better without the main character being a little retard.

Rather than get twisted up in arguing over the show -- I've basically decided there are aspects of both 2002 and 2006 that I like, so I'll be keeping both fansubs .... now to stew over a major budget hit to buy the R2 release or dig in my heels until some brave soul-less corporation licenses it for R1. 2006 definitely is a win for the adherence to the game material while making just enough tweaks so that the paths can co-exist, but there are some cute moment aspects of 2002 (anime-only events) that I also found charming.

I was just joking myself. It's late and I'm tired, so I'm sorry if it didn't come out as one.
As for '02 vs '06, I enjoy them both. I enjoy '06 more, but that doesn't stop me from liking '02. I think '06 will be better for introducing people to Kanon, as there is a lower barrier of entry.

There are a number of "software third party shops" that will purchase the software for you in Japan and then ship it to you.
(software is Strategic Munitions Material after all -- actually thats not quite right but many countries severely restrict the export of software)
himeyashop.com has it for the PC ($35USD), the PSP($51), and the PS2($38). The PC version comes in all-ages or adult --- the others are all-ages only as I recall. As many of us say though... the ero-H parts just seem kind of tacked on anyway.

Vexx's post is about internet downloading, just that requires a different method than usual. I shall elaborate.
First you must upload your particulars via a special program called "credit card". After the verification is done, the download will commence. However, since they are using a slow transfer protocol called "shipping", it will take a few weeks before the download is completed.

10 to 1 says i'm right though. sorry vic. you don't have to reveal if you don't want to. this IS only a messageboard. if you choose to, hey, we're all friends here. or at least anonymous strangers, which is sometimes even better. if not, we'll just let it be our little secret. ta. mob.
I just had to record this one.
I dreamt that the new Radiohead album came out. My sister was about to put it into the stereo but i ran out of the room, not wanting to hear it. All I heard was a long drawn out tone with a few clicks on a drum.
Then it shifted into a Coachella dream. The field was really crowded and rolling, there were stages everywhere. I was really pissed off because some random emo band had replaced Crowded House.
I didn't sleep well.
I had this weird dream yesterday, it was set in a big house in the jungle (I was watching lost the previous evening) A big black dog was after me and some a couple of other people, it caught me is bit and severed the tendons of my ankles and wrists so that I could not move my limbs, then later in the dream, it bit my nuts off (not that I remeber experiencing it in the dream, I just kind of knew that it had) then when I woke up (in real life) my ass was sweating.
So tonight before I go to sleep I'm going to search for shotguns on the internet, here doggy!!
I had a dream that one day my children would live in a nation where they wouldn't be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
^M L King^ - Good effort all is not lost on this site.
hahah, well played Andrew.
I had a dream last night that I was in a post-apocalyptic theme park (that wasn't the theme of the park, the apocalypse had occurred) and the only way for me to escape the mutants who chased me was to ride increasingly dangerous roller coasters. The final one shot off the tracks and took me to the last camp of human civilization. I had passed their test. Roller Coasters.
when I dream, I dream of the stupidest shit. I seriously wake up pissed at myself for spending all my sleep energy to go on some lame melodrama adventure.
the last dream I had: David Beckham kills my neighbor by throwing him on a rose bush. He's not dead at first, but no one saves him so he dies. Then we come back to the house (me, backham and like 6 other people were in this huge house on a lake). I started to gave beckham shit for killing my neighbor.
Next thing I remember, I'm in 1940s Gangster Chicago. My friend from real life is there, dressed like a true gangster. he starts drooling on my bed and then I wake up.
What the hell would Freud have to say about that? I miss my reoccuring dream. When I was young, once a year, all the muppets from fraggle rock would come up from the ground, grab me out of bed and pull to me to Fraggle Rock where I would play for what felt like ages. I would do anything that get that dream back
Then I will hold you down and spit her percolations all over you until you're as greasy as the day she regrets pushing your big fat ass out her big fat cunt.
300 commercials have been on recently to persuade people to buy the dvd. so of course i dreamt that there was this completely epic battle at my house where it was basically my family vs. the world, and all the weapons were old tyme like spears and shit.
of course from there my dream spiraled off into something completely unrelated and very, very unhappy and uncomfortable.
I always dream that my teeth keep falling off. Does anyone know what that might mean?
I pick my battles. Even though this isn't a battle.
It sounds like something that would be in a Dali painting.
all my dreams are sad
No, I've never had dreams about Nirvana (none that I remember at least)...but all my dreams I can remember seem to be really personal and realistic and end heartbreaking...its weird.
when i was little i had this recurring dream that i was running around this great white expanse of nothingness being chased by a t-rex. invariably i would wish for somewhere to hide and then one of those hot dog street carts would appear so i'd crawl underneath. and then i'd laugh because the t-rex couldn't tip it over.
The eve of seeing Daft Punk in Berkeley I had two dreams. One was a dream where people were asking me how the show was and I couldn't tell them because I couldn't remember. The other was a dream where I recorded the whole show but then realized I forgot the batteries. Maybe I can predict the future because one of the dreams was kinda right.
I had this dream once that Daft Punk was playing at my house.
Grizzlys are deadbeats.

Three people died in traffic crashes during the 2012 July Fourth holiday counting period. The counting period began at 6 p.m., Tuesday, July 3, and ended at 11:59 p.m., Wednesday, July 4.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol worked 99 crashes in which three people died and 45 were injured. Troopers arrested 59 people for driving while intoxicated during this year's holiday counting period.
There were no boating fatalities over the 2012 July Fourth counting period. However, troopers investigated six boating crashes involving two injuries.
One person drowned on Missouri waterways and two people were electrocuted. Troopers also arrested seven people for boating while intoxicated over the holiday counting period.
Of the three fatalities investigated by the Missouri State Highway Patrol, one fatality occurred in the Troop C, Weldon Spring area, Troop D, Springfield area, and Troop I, Rolla area.
All three fatalities occurred on Wednesday, July 4.
Terry L. Daugherty, 37, of Bourbon, died when the vehicle he was driving travelled off the left side of the roadway in a curve and struck a traffic sign. The vehicle then came back across the roadway and struck a tree before coming to rest in a creek. Daugherty was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash.
The crash occurred on Route N, .8 mile south of Bourbon, in Crawford County. Crawford County Coroner Paul Hutson pronounced Daugherty dead at the scene of the crash.
James M. Pace, 33, of Troy, died when the vehicle he was driving struck the back of a tractor trailer that was stopped on Interstate 70 on the Blanchette Bridge in St. Charles County. Pace was wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash. He was pronounced dead at the scene by St. Charles County Ambulance personnel.
Phillip S. Maynard, 20, of Republic, died when the motorcycle he was driving ran off of the roadway and ejected him. Maynard was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash.
The crash occurred on Farm Road 144, six miles north of Republic, in Greene County. He was pronounced dead by Greene County Medical Examiner David Brown.
The drowning over the July Fourth holiday occurred on Wednesday, July 4. A 40-year-old male from southwest Missouri drowned while swimming at Bull Shoals Lake at the 78 mile marker in Taney County.

Eric Holder Officially Signs New Rules To Protect Journalists... But Fine Print Shows They're Meaningless
from the that's-a-mighty-big-loophole-you've-got-there dept
As expected, the rules do suggest a slight nod towards respecting the privacy of journalists who are engaged in "ordinary news-gathering activities" but leaves open plenty of loopholes. The biggest, by far, is noted by Marcy Wheeler, who points out that the new rules don't cover FISA warrants or National Security letters. In other words, the DOJ can still make use of the massively abused process of national security letters (NSLs) to go on fishing expeditions against journalists. As Wheeler notes, this means that the new guidelines are "worth approximately shit in any leak -- that is, counterintelligence -- investigation."
The whole thing is a joke, but the problem is that the idea of a free and open press is the punchline.

Added precaution is one part of making holidays happy and, for the 17th consecutive year, the New Bern Police Department is launching a Holiday Task Force to help.
Added precaution is one part of making holidays happy and, for the 17th consecutive year, the New Bern Police Department is launching a Holiday Task Force to help.
The task force aims to deter crime by reducing opportunities in high traffic areas and popular tourist and shopping venues.
�Unfortunately, criminals look at the holidays differently: they see them as an opportunity to score extra cash, credit cards, valuables, and gifts,� said New Bern Police Chief Toussaint E. Summers, Jr.
�Nothing ruins your holiday spirit quicker than becoming a victim,� he said. This is a good time to remind travelers and shoppers to be safe while enjoying the holiday season.�
Criminal activities including shoplifting, burglary, and larceny from a motor vehicle, typically increases during the holiday season, according to a New Bern Police Department release.
New Bern Police Department is committed to Community Policing with citizens encouraged to become partners by reporting suspected illegal activity to the New Bern Police Department TIPS line which allows callers to remain anonymous. Reports can be made at 636-5034.
The Holiday Task Force will continue through New Year�s Day with an increased law enforcement presence of uniformed and plain clothes officers using marked and unmarked police patrol vehicles in the in high-volume shopping areas and tourist destinations.
In addition, New Bern Police offer these safety tips so individuals can help:
nBe extra cautious when coming and going from car or home. Shop in pairs or in groups for added safety.
nAlways secure vehicle and home. An unlocked door is an invitation for crime.
nWhen shopping, place packages in the trunk or out of view inside vehicles. At home, don�t leave holiday tree and gifts in front of a window easily visible from the street.
nPark in well-lit areas and places where the car can be easily seen, particularly during extended hours shopping.
nReport any daytime or night time suspicious community or unusual business district activity to police. Many stores hire extra security during the holidays. Alert these security personnel or call the New Bern Police Department at 633-2020 or, in an emergency, dial 9-1-1.
