Sometimes the realization of a dream is somewhat disappointing. When a dream comes true, it often doesn't meet those pent-up expectations that you lived with for so long. With mingled pleasure at your accomplishment, and a sense of let-down that it wasn't more thrilling, you can now move on to other dreams.
But sometimes…
One of my long-held dreams has been catching a bonefish on a fly. When I was a kid -- that was before paper towels, color TV, or Velcro -- I remember magazine articles that chronicled the hunt for bonefish on the saltwater flats of the Florida Keys and in the Bahamas, the latter an indistinct place millions of miles away. Back then, anglers like Joe Brooks, a hero of mine, would tell of pristine tropical flats, azure blue skies with puffy white clouds and, of course, the fabled silver phantom of the flats: the bonefish. It was right up there with unicorns in my young mind.
Brooks, and Lefty Kreh a few years later, would describe the thrill of the quest for these almost mythical creatures, and how, either wading or in a shallow-draft skiff (this was before flats boats), the guide would spot a bonefish or, more likely, its shadow, and say to the angler: "Bonefish, 10 o'clock, 50 feet." The fishermen would make a few false casts with a bamboo or fiberglass rod, and drop the fly in the designated spot.
"Wait," the guide would say, then "Strip, strip, now!" And all hell would break loose. The bonefish would take off on a frantic run that would soon strip the fly line from the reel into the braided line backing. Heady stuff. I was so hooked on the concept of the bonefishing process, that my dream was born. A dream that persisted for more than 45 years. Someday, I kept saying. Someday.
Shot through the knee in combat more than 35 years ago, then more recently diagnosed with several malignant cancers that had to be cut out, one of my strongest thoughts during those incredibly difficult and painful times was of bonefish; I can't die without having caught a bonefish, I'd think.
"Senor," the Mayan guide whispered emphatically, "bonefish, 10 o'clock, 50 feet!" I looked and saw nothing; I really hadn't expected to from all I'd read, heard, and seen on the videos. I pointed my hi-tech graphite fly rod toward the left front of the boat. "Si, Senor," confirmed Jose Luis.
Calmly, I executed the drill that was embossed on my mind over those years. I had done it a thousand times before in my dreams and on the front lawn. I tossed the pearlescent Gotcha I was holding into the air, made a false cast feeding line on the back cast, and shot the fly toward the still unseen target. "Perfect," said Jose Luis. Elizabeth sat still and intent behind me awaiting her turn on the front deck, focused now entirely on the circle of water where I had dropped the fly.
"Wait, wait," then "strip, strip." He didn't have to say "now," because I saw the silvery flash of the bonefish as it turned to take the fly. I strip set the hook, then raised the rod to clear the rapidly departing fly line, and to check the run of this unleashed dynamo as it headed toward Cancun, miles to the north. Now, this relatively small, three-pound fish was in charge, running again and again, toward the mangroves, toward open water, toward the boat, until fatigue gradually set in.
She lay in my outstretched hand, glistening in the warm Yucatan sun. I gripped her tightly as she struggled to escape. I could feel the throbbing power in her; she was exceptionally firm and well-muscled. When I set her into the water and slowly removed my hand, she sank slowly just under surface until the bright silver of her sides gave way to a mottled viridescence which helps her blend into the bottom where she lives and hunts. Then, like a spirit, she was gone.
I watched the spot where I had held her in the water and reveled in the beauty of her after-image. In the ripples of the clear Caribbean water, I saw the reflection of the last 45 years that had held so many dreams. This one, I smiled, had come true, in no way diminished or below expectation, but rich and satisfying, even more wonderful than I thought it could be. Bright-eyed, I flicked the water droplets from my hand causing more ripples that followed those made by the departing bonefish; and together they dissipated slowly into infinity.
Later, Elizabeth would catch her first bonefish, and we'd alternate catching dozens more. We'd land some baby tarpon, snook, jacks, and barracuda -- needing only a permit to complete a super grand slam of bonefish, tarpon, snook, and permit all in the same day. I made perfect casts and presentations to three of these very finicky fish, and they kept on going like I wasn't even there. Now I dream of catching a permit on a fly before I die.

Look, we might as well just get this out of the way right now. The upcoming T-Mobile Sidekick 4G is not going to be a device for everyone by any means. The name itself gives some folks out there bad vibes but that doesn't mean the device overall doesn't deserve a fair shake. When you look at the situation -- it is still a Sidekick. But really, it is a new breed of Sidekick. It's no longer running the same OS as before and now T-Mobile has dropped Android onto it.
With that out of the way, T-Mobile has ramped up their push for the new Sidekick 4G and have since released a new video on the T-Mobile blog highlighting some of the features of the device. While it's really a run through of how Android looks, and works on the Sidekick 4G it gives us all a better look at device and how it will run.
In other Sidekick 4G news, we've also now learned that T-Mobile will be including HotSpot and broadband tethering capabilities when the Sidekick 4G hits the market. As well, the specs call for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS with 1GB of on-board storage with a 2GB microSD shipping along with it. [Phonescoop and T-Mobile]

Will of Caroline Adams
In re
This is the last will and testament of me Caroline Adams of St. John's Widow made this nineteenth day of November eighteen hundred and seventy-three I give devise and bequeath to my son Charles Adams the dwelling house premises land and farm stock thereto belonging including my household furniture and effects and everything else that I am possessed of on the following condition namely that my two daughters Isabella Ockenlack and Catherine Adams now Williams shall have the use of my said dwelling house and all my other property hereinbefore mentioned jointly with my said son Charles Adams until they or either of them shall die and when such event happens but not before my said son Charles shall have and be at liberty to sell or dispose of all or any part of the said farm or other property hereinbefore mentioned for his own use forever and I appoint my said son Charles Adams my executor. Caroline her X mark Adams (LS) Signed sealed published and declared by the said Caroline Adams as and for her last will and testament in our presence who in her presence and in the presence of each other have hereto set our hands the said will having first been distinctly read over and explained to and understood by the said testatrix. A.O. Hayward. Edw. A. Lilly.
Certified correct,
Note: The wills in those will books are NOT actual wills. They are either hand-written copies or in later years typed copies of a, "last will and testament," written or typed by the court clerk, after the death of the testator, when the executor presented them to the court for probate. The court clerk didn't list the signatures at the bottom, he (or she) just put them in the book in whatever order they were in, on the original document, no spacing most of the time, no punctuation and also no paragraphs. The originals were kept by the executor.
We who have typed these wills, have made every effort to include all the errors that were on the microfilm, in order to avoid destroying the integrity of the originals, where ever they may be. However, in some of the very long wills, we have tried to insert paragraphs to make it easier for the researcher to read the document.

It seemed like there was as much false information being put forth by the media yesterday as there was true. The 24/7 nature of news coverage these days requires someone, anyone, to keep talking. To fill the silence. To give their impressions. To guess. Too often, that's all they are doing, and those guesses turn out to be wrong.
The trouble with information, is that whether it's real or not, once it's out there, it's hard to reign it in. There is a picture of a little girl floating around the internet, most people claiming that she was running in the race and was killed. It's just not true. An eight year old boy was killed, a spectator, since children under 18 are not allowed in the race. I've seen that picture more times than I care to say on my newsfeed.
The reality is that with situations like this one, it will be some time before real information is available, before suspects are identified, before profiles are generated by the investigators, before the true gravity of injuries are known. This is why the officials in charge have news conferences, and why those news conferences don't start three seconds after the event. It would be prudent for the media to go back to the days where they waited for confirmation of those details before just throwing them out there, without knowing what is true and what isn't.
The Lack of a World View in the Media
Three people died and many were hurt here yesterday, of that we are all aware. People seized immediately on how it looked like a war zone and that we aren't used to seeing things like this here in the United States. The truth is, we aren't used to seeing them at all.
Also yesterday, at least 42 people were killed and hundreds injured in bombings in Iraq. Attacks like that happen far too often in other parts of the world, and get marginal coverage at best here, if they get any at all.
We want to believe that we have such a broad world view here, and yet, we see so little. You almost have to go looking for news about anything that happens outside the country, but we get constant updates on celebrities.
Because that is what's important.
Speaking of Celebrities...
Justin Bieber went to the museum in memory of Anne Frank. When he signed the guest book, he wrote, Anne Frank was a great girl. Hopefully she would have been a belieber.
I was just floored when I read that. The level of ego centrism is beyond my understanding. Immediately after it hit the press, people started coming to his defense, saying that he was young and impulsive and that we shouldn't poke fun at him because he made a mistake. Really??? He was in the home of one the most well known victims of the Holocaust, where I can't imagine being anything but humbled and reflective, and he wrote something that can only be described as self serving and ridiculous.
Get over yourself, Justin. I'm pretty sure Anne Frank had other people to inspire her.
Guilty Defendants Claiming They Aren't Guilty
Last week, Austin Sigg entered his plea in the murder case of Jessica Ridgeway.
After his mother called police and turned him in, after he confirmed on the phone that he kidnapped and killed her, after pieces of her body were recovered from his house, after he gave gruesome descriptions of what he'd done to her, after all that, he pled not guilty.
I can't imagine a world where this guy isn't going to be found guilty, but he seems determined to stretch this out as much as possible. His attorneys are reserving the right to claim he is not guilty by reason of insanity.
Good luck with that one.
The guy took forensics classes, crime investigation classes. He kidnapped her, killed her and mutilated her body, performing experiments on decomposition. While no one is going to argue he's a normal human being, he knew what he was doing, and we all know he's guilty.
As if her family hasn't been through enough, now they have to go through a trial too.
Fortunately for Sigg, he did all this before he was 18, so although he is being charged as an adult, the sentences are limited. How nice for him. Even if he receives the maximum sentence, he'll still be eligible for parole in 40 years.

The forecast for today promised to be rainy (and maybe even freezing rain or snow) so I thought it was a perfect opportunity to wear my new rain boots to work. Too bad it only rained a tiny bit, and by the time I left the office, it had already stopped. So even though I didn't get a chance to test the boots' waterproof properties in action, I had fun wearing my new polka dot rain boots!
By the way, the story about rain boots is this: I had a pair from wal-mart that I bought when I was in college (many moons ago). They sat in my closet, unworn, for many years. Mostly they were uncomfortbale but also because a chance hadn't arose where I needed to wear them, so off to the donation pile they went. Fast forward to this winter, where it's been colder, snowier, and wetter than I can remember, and I wished I hadn't donated my old boots.
I decided I wanted a nice pair of rain boots, something affordable yet still made in the USA. I'm glad I found the brand Sloggers (purchased from Amazon) – they come in a variety of colors and are American made. I've only worn them once (sized up a size per the reviews and they're a tiny bit loose but better than tight and uncomfortable like the old ones) but they seem very comfortable.
Anyway, that's it about the rain boots – hope you all had a great tuesday:)

DUNDEE chief executive Scott Gardiner spoke of his delight earlier tonight as his club sealed a dream SPL return – then revealed how they came within 35 minutes of missing out.
The Dark Blues celebrated getting back to the top-flight following a seven-year exile following the crucial SPL vote which gave them permission to replace newco Rangers. And Gardiner has told how they came so close to squandering the golden opportunity to earn their place back among the big boys on a day of high drama back on 31 March.
Dundee entrusted striker Graham Bayne to deliver their SPL application to Hampden and had to endure a heart-stopping race against time to hand it in at the National Stadium with just minutes to spare before the deadline.
Gardiner said: "We got the application in at 4.25pm just before the SPL closed their doors. If we hadn't got it in I really don't know what would have happened. Dunfermline and Falkirk were also after the Club 12 position so it was imperative.
"It was less than £5,000 but that's still a lot of money to our club. So we took an educated gamble and here we are today. It might turn out to be the best £5,000 we've ever spent. It was a really difficult week as we had to put in an application to join the SPL on the week of 31 March.
"I even asked the SPL if it was worth our while doing this because we were so many points behind Ross County in the First Division. Various people within the club were saying it was going to cost this amount of money.
"And it specifically said in the application form that it was just in relation to being the candidate club."
Gardiner breathed a sigh of relief with the news they were going up after weeks of unbearable speculation.
He said: "It's the news we were hoping for although it's not the way we were hoping to feature in the SPL.
"We wanted to go up as champions but since the situation unravelled with Rangers we wanted to make sure it was us taking the Club 12 position. We felt it was an open and shut case all along on the grounds of sporting merit but it's been intolerable at times.
"Now we can hopefully just concentrate on football from now on and get ready for the new SPL season."
Gardiner now plans to help fund boss Barry Smith's efforts to strengthen his squad in time for the big kick-off away to Kilmarnock on 4 August.
He said: "We've been working on all aspects of Plan A and B with regards to signing targets.
"But we weren't able to properly commit because we couldn't risk signing anyone for the SPL if we weren't going to get in there."
Pars considering legal battle
DUNFERMLINE were tonight considering a legal challenge to the SPL's decision to replace Rangers with Dundee, but look set to accept they will be playing in the First Division in the coming season.
Chairman John Yorkston is furious with the top-flight ruling after repeatedly arguing in recent weeks that, as last season's relegated team, the Pars should take up the slack left by Rangers' liquidation and the SFL's vote to place the newco into the Third Division.
Yorkston's anger was only exacerbated following leaked emails which emerged at the weekend that appeared to show SFA chief executive Stewart Regan indicating that Dundee should take up the place of 'club 12' in the SPL.
That correspondence is said to have taken place three weeks ago, but Dunfermline had tried unsuccessfully until today's SPL AGM to get an answer on their future.
Yorkston, who was told of the decision – but not the rationale – in a phone call from SPL secretary Iain Blair, was due to meet with his fellow board members at East End Park earlier tonight and a move to ask lawyers to look over the handling of the affair was certain to be high on the agenda.
However, with the start of the SFL season just 11 days away - when the lower league teams kick-off with the Ramsdens Cup - the Fifers chief has confessed overturning the ruling may be implausible.
Instead, Dunfermline could seek redress by way of compensation for the earnings that will be lost from not being in the Premier Division.
Yorkston said: "We are obviously disappointed with the result, because we still feel we should have stayed in the SPL, but we are not surprised after hearing about Mr Regan's emails.
"It seems this decision had been taken three weeks ago but why did we just find out now? It looks like certain parties got together to make decisions about Dunfermline that they should not have made and we will be taking that up with our lawyers. I have friends who are high up in the legal profession and they say we have a very good case. But it might be that it is too late in the day for an appeal. I wouldn't imagine that could take place until next week and then we would only be two or three days away from the start of the season.
"It's not even as if they would definitely rule on it straight away either. It might be that, instead of an appeal, we will seek compensation or go down another route. Had this been May or June we would have probably taken a different view.
"This is me speaking personally and we will come up with a decision on what happens next after the board has met."

Screenshots | Video of the Opening and Closing Themes
Inspector Gadget is an animated television series about a clumsy, absent-minded, and oblivious detective, Inspector Gadget, who is a human being with various cyborg "gadgets" built into his anatomy. Gadget's main nemesis is the mysterious Dr. Claw, leader of an evil organization known as MAD. This was the merchandising company DiC Entertainment's first syndicated cartoon show, and ran from 1983 to 1986 in syndication. This article pertains to the original cartoon series and its characters and plots.
Cast of characters
Inspector Gadget (voiced by Don Adams)
A bumbling detective with gadgets built into his body. Often cluelessly stumbling through any case he is given, Gadget often ignorantly makes foolish mistakes pertaining to surroundings and current environment, mistaking innocent bystanders (and Brain) for enemies, and believing that the real enemies are friends. His ineptitude always leads him into danger, but he always gets out of trouble through either his trusty gadgets (most notably his springs), Penny's interference, or pure luck. The episode, "M.A.D. Trap", is one of the few episodes in which Gadget actually shows some competence. When Dr. Claw traps him in a steel foundry, he uses his gadgets flawlessly to save Penny and Brain. Later, in the "moral", they muse that it was a good thing his gadgets were in top shape. Occasionally, he also inadvertently helps Penny solve the case, with his bungling either distracting Dr. Claw or setting things up for Penny to do her work. The nearest Gadget ever gets to capturing Dr. Claw is in the opening teaser of each episode in which Gadget handcuffs a decoy metal glove, only to have a bomb explode in his face. However, this is meant to demonstrate that Claw always manages to escape justice and was never seen in any actual episode. His catchphrase is "Wowsers!".
Penny (voiced first by Cree Summer, then by Holly Berger)
Gadget's precocious niece. Inspector Gadget is her guardian and caretaker, though often she seems more suited to be his caretaker due to Gadget's clumsiness. Unknown to any of the recurring characters other than Brain, she is a master of investigation and technology who is the one truly responsible for foiling M.A.D.'s schemes. Penny's principal crime-fighting tool is a high-tech Computer Book capable of breaking codes, surveiling buildings and overriding practically any sort of machine or device. Using the book, Penny is able to monitor Gadget's activities and – with Brain's help – surreptitiously help him avoid numerous potential catastrophes that result from his absent-mindedness while uncovering the true nature of Dr. Claw's plot and foiling it. Her name is Sophie in the French, Italian and German version.
Brain (voiced by Frank Welker)
Penny's dog. He assists her in keeping Gadget out of danger and solving the crime. He is a master of disguise and dresses up in order to watch over Gadget and save him from attempts on his life. Although Gadget is in contact with Brain almost the entire time while he is supposedly solving a case, Gadget never sees through his disguises (and as often as not, Gadget assumes Brain is a M.A.D. agent while ignoring all the real ones). Brain's collar is outfitted with a retractable video communications system linked to a computer wristwatch Penny wears that allows her to relay information on Gadget's activity, or warn Brain as to the whereabouts of M.A.D. agents. Brain can speak a human language, though in a gruff "dog" voice. Sometimes it is impossible to understand what Brain is saying. In a pinch, Brain will resort to pantomime and physical gestures to communicate effectively. His name is Finot in the French and the German version.
Dr. Claw (voiced by Frank Welker, and in some episodes, Don Francks)
The main villain in the series and leader of the evil organization known as M.A.D. He speaks in a deep, menacing, gravelly voice and his face and the majority of his body are never shown throughout the series; only his arms and gloved hands are visible. He is usually at a computer terminal where he monitors his various schemes. Even though he's aware of Gadget's stupidity, he believes the Inspector to be his greatest nemesis, never fully realizing that it is actually Penny and Brain who foil his plots in each episode (although he or his M.A.D. agents have captured Penny and sometimes Brain a number of times). His name is Dr. Gang in the French version.
M.A.D. Cat (voiced by Frank Welker)
Dr. Claw's fat pet cat. He is always at Dr. Claw's side. In many episodes he attempts to do something simple, but fails, usually because of Dr. Claw hitting the desk, enraged by Gadget's interferences. The M.A.D. Cat does not have a voice, but will laugh when Dr. Claw laughs, and appears to be at least partially evil.
Chief Quimby (voiced by Chris Wiggins, then by Maurice LaMarche)
Gadget's boss. He appears at the beginning of each episode with his own theme music to deliver Gadget his mission only to be blown up by the self-destructing message due to Gadget's obliviousness, and appears again at the end of each episode to congratulate Gadget on a job well done. His name is Chef Gontier in the French version.
Corporal Capeman (voiced by Townsend Coleman)
A nerdy sidekick who dresses in stereotypical superhero garb and accompanies Gadget in a few episodes during the second season. He is even more clueless than Gadget. The two have a student/mentor relationship, though Gadget is rarely teaching anything nor is Capeman learning. (Gadget generally mispronounces his name "Capman"). Capeman is obsessed with learning to fly and often mistakenly believes he has miraculously acquired the power of flight while in the midst of dire circumstances. His last appearance is in the series' last episode: "Gadget and the Red Rose" (#86).
In the first season, nearly every episode saw the introduction of some supervillain who had come to be employed by Dr. Claw to commit a crime suited to their special skills. They are typically arrested at the end of the episode, and do not appear again in the series.
Gadget works as an inspector for the Metro City police department. His missions often take him to a different exotic locale, generally without giving any explanation as to how a crime on the other side of the earth was of any interest to the Metro City police.
Although there are the rare exceptions, every single episode of the first season follows a standard plot with little variation:
1: Gadget, Penny, and Brain are engaged in a typical family activity that is interrupted by Police Chief Quimby calling on the Top Secret Gadget Phone. He then appears in an outlandish disguise — a gas barrel, a Gypsy fortuneteller, even a gargoyle on Gadget's house, but most often, it's in a trash can.
2: Quimby gives Gadget a mission on a self-destructing sheet of paper. As Gadget reads the message, his eyes dart back and forth and the sound of a typewriter or fax machine plays. The last line of the message always reads "This message will self-destruct.", a spoof of the exploding taped messages from Mission: Impossible. Sometimes it would say that the message would self-destruct in ten (sometimes thirty) seconds. The second season often had "Caution: This message will self-destruct" as the final line in the message. Gadget says his catchphrase, which is "Don't worry, Chief, I am always on duty.", before he crumples up that paper, and then unintentionally throws the message back at the Chief and walks away in total ignorance. When the Chief hides out in a garbage disposal, Gadget puts the message in the trash, not knowing that the Chief is in there too. The message explodes seconds later in Quimby's face. The only episodes without the exploding paper are "Gadget's Replacement" (#23), where Gadget is replaced by a computer, and "Health Spa" (#6), in which Gadget doesn't even get a mission. Instead, Gadget slams the door in the Chief's face shortly after Quimby says, "At last, an assignment that didn't blow up in my face." In "M.A.D. Trap" (#20), Gadget did not get an assignment from Quimby, but when it appears that Dr. Claw does not intend to commit any crimes that day, Gadget gives Chief Quimby a paper that reads, "Have you got any assignments for me today? This message will self-destruct." Quimby panics at this and drops it in front of the pigeons he was feeding. While attempting to rescue them, Gadget's message blows up in Quimby's face.
3: Dr. Claw is always somehow visually monitoring this event on his computer from his desk or car, and introduces his scheme and usually a new super villain employee to the viewers. The schemes nearly always include trying to eliminate Gadget as well as stealing valuable things.
4: Gadget bumbles through his mission oblivious to the dangers and overall situation around him. He frequently makes ridiculous assumptions (such as thinking that the sound of explosions is thunder). He also almost always mistakes enemy agents for helpful allies, and vice versa.
5: Brain is always instructed by Penny to follow Gadget to make sure he doesn't get hurt: "I'm worried, Brain. You'd better follow him." Brain would make use of various costumes (although how he got them is not explained) and often interacts with Gadget, who never recognizes him. Gadget usually considers the disguised Brain to be the main suspect. When intervening to save Gadget from MAD agents, Brain often becomes the victim (along with the agents themselves) instead of Gadget. Gadget himself rarely comes to any harm, and if he does, it's usually self-inflicted. Even when Gadget falls into a MAD agent trap, he always escapes by using his gadgets.
6: Meanwhile, Penny investigates the crimes and is usually the one to solve the case with the help of her Computer Book. With it, she can override the controls of just about anything electronic. She often stops the MAD agents when she overrides the controls of the vehicle MAD agents drive and forces them to crash. Sometimes, she uses her Computer Book to override the controls of one of Dr. Claw's evil machines, causing it to overload and explode. On occasion, Gadget unintentionally solves the case without being aware of it. Penny may get captured and escape the criminals during her investigation, when Brain or Gadget comes to rescue her. Sometimes, Penny escapes herself when the M.A.D. agents do not lock her up properly, or are distracted by something. She will sometimes use the help of her Computer Book to escape as well.
7: Shortly before Penny solves the case, she calls Chief Quimby to the crime scene.
8: Gadget invariably gets credit for solving the mission, with everyone believing that he has in fact stopped Dr. Claw single-handedly. Chief Quimby appears and congratulates him. No one ever suspects that it was in fact Penny and Brain who did all of the work. Typically, they show up and Gadget doesn't even know how they got there, but he is delighted to see them. Like many cartoons, the episode usually ends with them all laughing at something.
9: After this, Dr. Claw is seen either in his hideout or escaping in his MADmobile, which can turn into an advanced jet or submarine, delivering his catch phrase: "I'll get you next time, Gadget… NEXT TIME!". Dr. Claw's cat, M.A.D. Cat, will usually hiss in agreement. This phrase is also played towards the end of the end credits in every episode.
10: In common with many 1980s children's TV shows, Inspector Gadget's last scene is a safety tip (known as a Gadget Team Alert) often relating to the episode.
While the show is admittedly formulaic (at the time, it is often compared with Get Smart, which also stars Don Adams), charming and appealing main characters, exotic and varied locations, and solid writing kept the series entertaining. In the final episodes of the series, a small storyline plays out involving members of a criminal retirement home that Claw recruits to eliminate Gadget. Whilst not entirely conclusive (Claw is never caught as always), the storyline was the only multi-part arc of the show's entire run.
List of [[Inspector Gadget episodes]]
Inspector Gadget's gadgets
Inspector Gadget's gadgets were the most unusual aspect of the show, and although they are central to his character, they rarely ever actually do him any good when it comes to solving his case. When using his gadgets, he would say "Go-Go-Gadget", and then the name of the gadget to be used. However, the gadget he said would not always be the gadget that appeared.
The Inspector has an indefinite supply of gadgets located all over his body. However, there are several that appear regularly.
Most commonly used gadgets
Gadget Binoculars: Binoculars lower down out of his hat and over his eyes.
Gadget 'Brella: A hand holding an umbrella that comes out of his hat. It can be used as a parachute. More often than not, he will fall rapidly when using his 'Brella' when it turns inside-out.
Gadget Coat: His trench coat inflates when he pulls one of its buttons and enables him to float — in water or in the sky. It is almost always deflated by being punctured, causing him to shoot through the sky as the air is released before falling from a great height. However, in "Winter Olympics" (Pilot episode, Season 1), Gagdet refers to it as "Gadget blimp".
Gadget Copter: Helicopter propeller blades that come out of his hat that enable him to fly.
Gadget Cuffs: A handcuff comes out of his forearm just above his hand.
Gadget Hands: Several mechanical hands can pop out of Gadget's hat. These hands will sometimes hold various objects including a camera, a motorized fan, a spotlight, a can opener, and other useful things. Of course, there are times when they will also be holding something useless or unhelpful to the situation.
Gadget Legs/Arms/Neck: His neck, arms, and legs can telescope and extend to great lengths.
Gadget Legs (springs): As well as being telescopic, his legs can also extend with springs, which is useful for jumping and landing.
Top-Secret Gadget Phone: A telephone in his hand. The earpiece is located in his thumb, while the mouthpiece is located in his pinky finger. This is one of the few gadgets that is not voice activated; Instead, Chief Quimby activates it by calling Gadget. (There is also a regular telephone inside Gadget's hat.)
Gadget Skates: Roller skates come out of the bottom of his shoes. He is often very clumsy and struggles to keep his balance on the skates. Later in the series, he tries adding his own modifications in the form of rockets that come out from the sides. These have even more glitches than most of his gadgets for their first few appearances.
Gadget Springs: A spring comes out of his hat (he also has one in each shoe), enabling him to bounce, usually when falling head first and hitting his head against the ground.
Other gadgets
Gadget Flower: A mechanical hand holding a big sunflower emerges from his hat and can either spray water or sleep gas towards an enemy.
Gadget Ears: Metal cones that deploy from his head, around his ears, allowing him to hear better.
Gadget Hat Doff: When Gadget greets a lady, instead of doffing his hat, a mechanical hand emerges from his hat, in the hand is another hat; from this other hat emerges a second mechanical hand, which is also holding a hat. This gadget was only seen once, in the episode, Do Unto Udders.
Gadget Tie: His necktie becomes a lasso.
Gadget Magnets: Magnets come out of the bottom of his shoes. More often than not, the magnets end up sticking to any metallic object with a magnetic attraction, just like Captain Planet's "magnetic" personality. It is sometimes useful when attempting to avoid slipping on slippery surfaces.
Gadget Mallet: A wooden hammer held in a robotic hand that also comes out of his hat. It usually winds up bopping someone it should not — sometimes even the Inspector himself.
Gadget Parachute: A relatively small, red parachute which was used only in episode #48, Do Unto Udders.
Gadget Respirator: A self-contained breathing mask and the only gadget that Gadget has to physically reach for and pull on as he said his "Go-Go-Gadget" command for it.
Gadget Refridge-a-Gadget: A gloved hand holding an unmarked aerosol can appears out of his hat and sprays a substance that immediately reduces the surrounding area to subzero temperatures. This gadget was only used in Health Spa (though its name was not called) and Gadget's Gadgets.
Gadget Siren: A police light and siren emerge from the top of his hat.
Gadget Skis: a pair of skis that extend out of the front and back of his shoes.
Gadget Teeth: Gadget's teeth deploy from his mouth and fly about.
Gadget Wind Sail: A huge wind sail emerges from his hat, which, when combined with Gadget Skis, allows him to wind sail down a snowy track (used only once, in Bad Altitude)
Finger Gadgets: There are several gadgets inside his fingers, accessed by taking the end off his finger to expose the gadget. These include a flashlight, skeleton key, laser, pen, screwdriver, drill bit, snow gun, corkscrew, water pistol, and whistle .
Operation of the gadgets
The Inspector can activate each of his gadgets by calling its name, "Go-Go-Gadget Arms!" (for example), but there are times when gadgets appear to be activated by reflex rather than being called. Quite often, either the called gadget will malfunction, or the wrong one will be activated. When this happens, the Inspector will muse that he desperately needs to get them fixed, although he apparently neglects to ever actually do so. Gadgets also have a tendency to activate en masse whenever the Inspector falls over, sneezes, et cetera — this often occurs at the end of an episode, accompanied by all the characters laughing. The gadgets occasionally seem to have a bit of a mind of their own: in episode #48, Do Unto Udders, one of the hands uses a severe pointing finger to stop Gadget from buying unhealthy food.
The Gadgetmobile
Similar to his body, Gadget's car, the "Gadgetmobile", is also fully loaded with a seemingly limitless arsenal of gadgets. It has all of the clichéd features of any fictional crime fighting vehicle (such as the Batmobile or a James Bond car, for instance) including a smoke screen, a siren, laughing gas (referred to as "hilarious gas"), the ability to drop a trail of tacks to blow out a pursuing vehicle's tires, ejector seat, and a claw on the front (referred to as the Gadget Claw).
Besides having all of the typical features, it has many specialized ones as well, such as the ability to extend its wheels (not unlike Gadget's arms and legs) to great lengths, and to completely transform into another vehicle altogether, the Gadgetvan, even while in motion. All of the Gadgets on the Gadgetmobile are voice activated in the same way that the gadgets on his body are activated, by calling its name, "Go-Go-Gadgetvan!" (for example), although when changing into the van and back, he usually moves a lever while saying it.
In The Ruby, Gadget summons the Gadgetmobile while on foot ("Go-Go-Gadget Car!"). The Gadgetmobile then arrives on the scene and, responding to the command improperly, drives straight past him.
It is also, for the most part, nigh invulnerable. There are a few occasions where it has taken head-on collisions, attacks, or has fallen from great heights and remained completely intact. While the Gadgetmobile did not have a voice in the series, in all related films, an off-camera voice actor provides one. Its voice actors have been D.L. Hughley (Inspector Gadget, Inspector Gadget 2), Jaleel White (Inspector Gadget's Last Case), and Bernie Mac (Inspector Gadget's Biggest Caper Ever).
Penny and Brain's gadgets
As well as the Inspector, Penny and Brain have a few of their own gadgets:
Penny's Computer Book
A phonebook-sized machine similar to a modern-day laptop computer. It is capable of hacking into and interfacing with any piece of electronic equipment, and some non electronic equipment, like a safe. The 'book' apparently does not have multiple pages, as the exact same control configuration is shown whenever Penny is using it. Penny usually carries her computer book in her backpack (she is only seen wearing it when the book is to be used shortly after).
Penny's Wristwatch
Penny's wristwatch has five known functions:
It is primarily used to communicate with Brain (in a manner very similar to a modern cellular videophone).
It is used in most episodes to contact Chief Quimby, although this is clearly an audio-only communication, and probably one-way, as a response from the Chief is never heard.
It can fire a directional laser beam, capable of cutting through a heavy metal door (as seen in quite a few episodes) or merely force it to open.
It has magnetic abilities, as seen in one episode, whilst Penny is locked in a prison cell, she uses the watch to attract the keys from a distance to the cell, hence allowing her to free herself.
It seems to have a weaker version of the book's powers (it was once used to hack into a combination lock and find out the combination).
Brain's communication collar
Used for communicating with Penny, Brain's communicator is hidden in his dog collar. When a call is received, the collar's studs extend out around Brain (usually three studs are shown extending but this number does vary). Presumably, the three studs contain a camera, speaker and microphone. It also has a tracking device that can direct Brain towards Penny (although he only uses it once).
MAD is an organization whose chief operation is committing crime, wreaking havoc and operating above the limits of the law. Headed by the mysterious Dr. Claw, MAD would seem to have numerous agents working for it but on the series only six or seven are seen repeatedly and only the special ones hired from the outside crime world, including Knuckles, Presto Change-O, and Dr. Noodleman, are named. MAD is obviously a spoof on large-scale evil organization (such as SPECTRE and KAOS) with grandiose schemes for world conquest. On some merchandise, MAD is shown as an acronym for "Mean and Dirty" or "Malevolent Agency of Destruction". No mention of this fact is ever made in the series, and it is not considered canon.
MAD corporate identity
For an evil organization, MAD seems oddly enthusiastic about self-promotion and branding. Everything MAD creates seems customized to incorporate the MAD logo, or MAD-like imagery (a stylised cat head with fangs). All MAD agents are given corporate clothing, emblazoned with the MAD logo, even down to the underwear (as seen in Did You Myth Me and Do Unto Udders). All MAD agents drive around in trucks with 'MAD' written on the side. Gadget never recognizes any of the MAD indicia.
MAD salute
MAD agents often show their respect/allegiance to Dr. Claw by performing the MAD salute. This involves swiftly putting a clenched fist to the side of one's head. The salute is used more in later episodes.
MAD Academy
MAD has a facility it uses to train prospective agents located under a Metro City skyscraper (MAD Academy). Trainees are indoctrinated in MAD's philosophy and tendency toward self-promotion, as they already wear the official MAD uniform. The facility includes a driving course that is littered with traps. Dr. Claw personally instructs the school's students, and its official slogan is "We Hate Gadget."
The MADmobile
The MADmobile is Dr. Claw's personal vehicle. Like the Gadgetmobile, it has a variety of deterrents for use against pursuing vehicles. It is also able to transform into a jet and a submarine.
Background information
The show was created by Andy Heyward, Jean Chalopin and Bruno Bianchi. The initial idea for Inspector Gadget came from Heyward, who also wrote the pilot episode, Winter Olympics (often syndicated as episode #65, Gadget in Winterland), in 1982 with the help of Chalopin. Chalopin, who at the time owned the DIC Audiovisual studio, helped him develop the format and concept for the rest of the episodes together with Bruno Bianchi, who also designed the final main characters and served as supervising director.
According to the bonus featurette "Wowsers" retrospective featurette with co-creators Andy Heyward and Mike Maliani on the four-disc DVD set "Inspector Gadget: The Original Series", Gadget went through around 350 sketches before reaching his final design. In this featurette, Michael Maliani says he, too, was involved in the initial design work, though his name is never mentioned in the show's credits.
Peter Sauder was the head writer during the first season. In season two, Eleanor Burian-Mohr, Mike O' Mahoney, Glen Egbert and Jack Hanrahan (a former Get Smart writer, among many other things) took over. (Hanrahan and Burian-Mohr would later write the Christmas special Inspector Gadget Saves Christmas as well as the Gadget Boy series – see also Inspector Gadget spinoff incarnations.)
The first sixty-five 22½-minute episodes were written, designed, storyboarded, and voiced-recorded in Canada at Nelvana Animation Studio, while being directed (long distance) by a French director. Most of these episodes were animated in Tokyo, Japan by Tokyo Movie Shinsha, the studio that animated most DiC cartoons of the 1980s, while a few episodes were animated in Taiwan by Cuckoo's Nest Studio and Wang Film Productions, before being finished in post production by Nelvana, the same Canadian studio that did preproduction. Apparently, the show was produced for release in both France and the USA. It was broadcast in the North America in September, 1983. A month or so later, the series premiered in France, whose version also featured a theme song with French lyrics and the French title Inspecteur Gadget appearing in front of the episode.
The first season was aired from September to December 1983, comprising sixty-five 22½-minute long episodes. The original pilot episode had a slightly higher budget than the rest of the series, but because of several animation problems and a far from established formula, the other 64 episodes of the season stand out as better. After the first season, the show was a worldwide hit.
The pilot featured slightly different opening and closing credits, too. The opening was nearly the same as the regular opening, except Gadget has his moustache, and the clips of the Gadgetvan turning into the Gadgetmobile, Penny discovering her watch (an altered version of her discovering her Computer Book), and Brain helping Gadget across a wire are not shown; instead clips from the pilot appear during those scenes. Also, after he activated his Gadget-Copter and spun away, and before cutting to the turnaround shot of Penny discovering her Computer Book, Gadget landed safely on the road — in front of an oncoming MAD car! But luckily, he used his Gadget Legs to spring out of the way. The main title of the show was also presented on a green background instead of an orange background. The theme music was exactly the same (only a few on-screen sound effects differed somewhat), as well as on the closing credits, which featured little animations of Gadget using his gadgets. The final credit had Dr. Claw watching Gadget from his monitor, saying "I'll get you next time, Gadget… NEXT TIME!" and MAD Cat doing his snarling meow. This explains why Dr. Claw's voice is heard during the regular credits while Chief Quimby is speaking.
Two versions of the pilot were produced. One had Jesse White voicing Inspector Gadget, and the other had Gary Owens voicing him (the version with Gary Owens can be found on the Australian Inspector Gadget DVD set).
The first season episodes were repeated during the 1984 – 1985 season, with 21 new episodes premiering during the second and last season of Inspector Gadget from September 1985 to February 1986 making 86 in all. Several significant changes were made to the established formula in the cheaper episodes in the second season:
Evil henchmen have recurring roles, appearing in as many as three episodes in a row without being arrested. Even though this allowed for more continuity, the show lost some of its moral fiber that way, and it also became confusing that most of the villains merely disappeared from the show after their third episode, still not in jail (such as "The Great Wambini, World's Greatest Magician", and his assistant, "The Lesser Wambini").
The crime would more often revolve around simply getting rid of Gadget.
The Gadget Team move into a high-tech house filled with many gadgets, where a few of the episodes are actually located — probably another result of the lower budgets.
Penny doesn't get into trouble as often, something which may have made the show less appealing to children, and also weakened both her own character and the unpredictability of the episodes.
In the season's fourth episode, the writers introduced a sidekick named Corporal Capeman, who was (and is) widely unpopular with the show's fan base; and is often considered when the show jumped the shark. He appeared in eight non-consecutive episodes. This also made the intended continuity even more confusing.
The season, and the series, concluded with a small three part story arc revolving around a "retirement home" for ex-criminals run by Claw's mentor. Gagdet overcomes, in his usual way, all of the ex-mobsters who attempt to eliminate him for one big pay-off, and the retirement home racket is shut down, with Claw escaping. Gadget is finally honored by the city during this storyline
Although these differences lessened the repetition, the show's popularity sank. Apparently the removed elements had all been part of the great success of season one. The full reason for the show's cancellation is unknown, though the overall decline in quality and the lesser budgets during the second season is the most common theory, as this may have led to lower ratings. Another reason may be that the Disney Studio purchased DIC in 1986, leaving many of their shows to syndicated reruns.
Don Adams, the voice of Inspector Gadget in the American version of the cartoon, had also played Maxwell Smart, the lead character in Get Smart, giving both shows a certain resemblance to North American viewers. When recording moved to the U.S. for the second season, several of the voices (among them Cree Summer, who played Penny) were replaced.
The theme music for the show was composed by Shuki Levy & Haim Saban. Both of them composed background music for this show and many other DiC cartoons of the 1980s.
Most of the background music cues are some sort of variation of the Gadget melody. Even at festivals or dances in the cartoon, the Gadget theme is usually played. Occasionally during an episode, such as in Launch Time and Ghost Catchers, Inspector Gadget will hum or even sing his theme. Levy and Saban also had a range of other musical cues for each character as well as for the various moods of the scenes. Penny and Brain each have several different versions of their respective musical themes.
A soundtrack LP to accompany the series, named "Inspecteur Gadget – Bande Originale de la Serie TV", was released in France in 1983 by Saban Records, the current production company of Shuki Levy and Haim Saban. The LP is extremely rare.
The soundtrack features the following tracks:
1. Inspector Gadget (with French vocals)
2. Penny's Theme (with French vocals)
3. Brain The Dog — The Song (with French vocals)
4. Gadget on Mars
5. Ghost
6. Mad Art in Museum
7. Gadget in Japan
8. Chocolate Factory
9. Rodeo
10. Mad's Theme
11. Heroes in African Jungle
12. Gadget with the Incas
13. Look Out
14. Gadget in Trouble
15. Arabian Desert
16. Sophisticated Gadget
17. Train Machine
18. Kingdom
19. Car Race
20. Pharaohs
21. Penny's Theme
22. Inspector Gadget (Instrumental)
With the exception of the first three tracks, all the music on this album is incidental music directly from the TV series. The album is far from a complete soundtrack, although this would be impossible as there were probably several hours of source music used in the series. Some tracks on the album are more location/episode-specific or for special sequences. There were also at least two other records released by Saban Records (both in French). One of these was the single of the theme music (with French vocals, released both in 1983 and 1985 with different sleeve covers), and another was an audio story named "La Malediction de la roi Touthankamon", based on the episode "Curse of the Pharaohs".

Conrad Hilton, the 18-year-old youngest sibling of heiress and one-time reailty TV star Paris Hilton, was taken into custody on Friday (July 27) in Los Angeles after he tested positive for marijuana in his system.
Hilton was on parole from a previous drug arrest so having any illegal substances in his system was a violation of his probation.
According to TMZ, Hilton is being held at a juvenile facility and will remain there until he goes in front of a judge — which could be as late as Monday morning.
Hilton's last tweet, sent on July 21, was the cryptic, "roxbury Roxbury ROXBURY."

So, I just saw a really good point brought up by a user known as "Poco Yo" on Google +, with respect to being banned by Google+ for using a "fake" name.
If someone uses Google checkout, then they must verify their identity using a credit card – Checkout does not use Paypal, last I checked, and even if it did, Paypal has its own verification service.
So, I have to wonder, with Google touting that + is an "identity service", and saying that a "fake" name is reason for getting kicked off of +, and perhaps off other services, why is it that they base so much on the NAME, when a large percentage of us have ALREADY verified our identities with our credit cards? You have all the information you need about me, Google, with that. I WILL NOT give you a driver's license, birth certificate, or other bit of personal information, considering you can't give me a viable outlook on what your data retention policy is – which means that its forever, IMHO.
And by the way, Google; in the case that we have used our credit card with you, then in actuality, you're OPENING security holes by requiring that people use their real names here, or on any other service. Let me explain;
Let's look at other online shopping sites, such as ebay, one of the oldest online shopping sites on the Internet. While Paypal stepped up as a third party service to facilitate online payments via ebay, there has never been a policy to use one's real name on ebay as one's username, nor is there on Paypal, and a very little amount of people do use their real name, as such. Why? Because it's bad security practice. Requiring that one use one's real name on ebay, or Amazon, or another shopping site online, opens security holes, FAST. Some social engineering could net many, many credit card numbers and logins, without even trying, because you'd already have someone's real name. Phone trees are easy to manipulate, and so are phone reps.
So there's another reason that your nym policy sucks, Google; SECURITY. Shouldn't you care about that? Or are you going to tell us that user security is higher than ever these days? Maybe you can get Sony to chime in on that one, right?

"I never speak truth"--Delete
1. If we consider it as true,
=>then it means the person is speaking a true statement
=>what he said is a false statement
=> there is a contradiction
2. If we consider it as a false statement,
=>we are not agreeing that "the person never speaks truth"
=>we are certifying that he is speaking truth
=>hence it should be a true statement.
=> again there is a contradiction

sir please explain more more...Delete
i didn't get u
The person has to speak either true or he has to lye. Only one of these two is possible. So, "I never speak truth" should be either true or false. If we consider it as true, then we have to agree with his statement that he never speak truth. But how can it be possible? How can the very statement "I never speak truth" be true? It itself is contradicting, isn't it? Similarly, how can it be false either? It's totally a self contradicting statement.Delete

If the Ravens started the season today, they would play Kelechi Osemele at left offensive tackle, and that would be a problem.
Osemele, who started at right tackle and left guard last season, could be a left tackle down the road, but he has to improve his foot speed during this offseason. He struggled with speed rushers on the outside as a right tackle and it would be worse for him on the left side if there isn't significant improvement.
Osemele is a tremendous talent. He is athletic, has good bend and punch and the ideal torso to be a left tackle. But to face the other team's premier pass rusher you have to have "sweet feet" -- and Osemele isn't there yet.
It's good that the Ravens pointed to Osemele as the possible left tackle, which means they have probably given up on the experiment of moving Michael Oher to play the position. Oher will likely be only used at left tackle in emergency situations.

<<Part 1. In search of a scenario
Tony Palmer's second film to be premièred in as many months is
a portrait of Rachmaninoff called The Harvest of Sorrow. Palmer tries
to relate the titles of his films to the subject matter. He uses his film
on the composer William Walton as an example.
'When Walton agreed to do the film I went to Ischia to see him. I was
there at Easter time and planning to go back in the summer. He was wonderfully
hospitable and at the end of a very drunken lunch I got up to get the ferry
back to the mainland. I think I said, "well Sir William, I'm looking
forward to seeing you". As I am moving away from the table he said,
"Death!" Now that is a show-stopper so I sat down immediately.
"I'm looking forward to death", he said. He was quite deaf and
had misheard what I said. So of course the conversation began again and
I missed the ferry.
'As we talked I realised that underneath it all he felt his life was
coming to a sad end, he'd never done anything worthwhile and all his music
was pointless.
'I went home and listened to the 'Cello, Violin and Viola Concertos and
parts of Belshazzar. I then realised that this music is about disappointment,
a longing for something that isn't there. At the centre of this extraordinarily
exuberant music is an appalling sadness; a depth of longing and feeling.
That's why it's great music. So now I'm looking through Troilus and Cressida
[Walton's opera] and thinking death is what I'm looking forward to.
I find that one of the great arias is called At The Haunted End Of The
Day and I think, that's it!' [The film won the Prix d'Italia.]
'Even more extraordinary is how I got the title for the Rachmaninoff.
I'd cut the film, knew the mood of it and I thought of The Harvest of
Sorrow. I remembered there was a book by Robert Conquest about a Ukrainian
famine called The Harvest of Sorrow. I found that he had taken the
title from an ancient Russian poem - the equivalent of Chaucer. Then I started
to worry and I rang half-a-dozen people to ask if the title meant anything
to them. Without exception they all said no, so I decided to use it.
'I edited the film in Switzerland and I'm on the plane returning when
I found I had a complete list of Rachmaninoff's songs in my bag. The first
song he had published was called The Harvest of Sorrow! It was a
complete fluke, I had absolutely no idea'.
Help was given in the making of the film by Rachmaninoff's grandson Alexander.
He lives in the family Swiss villa called Senar which still houses the composer's
Steinway piano. 'Although he's not a musician, he's been very helpful in
a constructive way', says Palmer. 'He's the keeper of the flame'.
During his lifetime Rachmaninoff wrote numerous letters. Some have been
published but many have not. These were made available to Palmer.
'When I was thinking of a way to shape and frame the film I found that
a lot of these letters were written to his daughters towards the end of
his life. He tries to explain why they left Russia in 1917 and he describes
the journey. That is wonderfully poignant. I framed the film as if it were
a long letter from Rachmaninoff. [In the film the composer's words are spoken
by Sir John Gielgud.] Although it is artificial in construction the letter
gets right to the heart of the matter, whether it is Rachmaninoff writing
about Russia when he was there, what he felt about it soon after he left,
the Bolsheviks, his country estate Ivanovka, or what he thought about America.
He had everything he needed materially in America but he deeply resented
the fact that the only thing the Americans were interested in was making
money. When he gave a concert they didn't care what he played so long as
it made money! In one of the letters he points out that when he wrote the
opera The Miserly Knight - which is mainly about people who worship
money - there is "a strange irony. I actually wrote that long before
I knew what would happen".
'Very importantly, Rachmaninoff loved gadgets: fast cars, fast boats
and a movie camera. When he was living in France he shot a lot - and I mean
a lot - of home movies. Of course it's jerkyscope and it's in black
and white but it's Rachmaninoff with his daughters and his grandchildren.
Alexander gave us these and we processed them digitally. It's wonderful
footage but it doesn't look as if we shot it yesterday'.

Genesis 45:4-5
And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.Observation:
Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life.
Today's reading went into the detail of Joseph and his brothers. Over and over and over again Joseph endured being mistreated and lied about. He nearly lost his life, was sold as a slave, and was thrown into prison. Through it all, he remained faithful to God.
How many times have I complained to God instead of letting Him use me through my suffering? God knows the ending. He can see through all that is going to happen to us and orchestrate everything for our good and for His glory. Like Joseph, I need to look for those ways that God can use my miserable circumstances for the good of others and God.
Dear Lord,
Please humble me and set my sight on You. Help me to dwell on the good that can come from our circumstances instead of wallowing in self-pity. You have our life all planned out for our good. Help us to cooperate with Your plans and not to hinder ourselves.


text: A 7th child for Brad and Angelina? News & Gossip Celebrity news 0 Rumours are rife that the Angelina Jolie and husband Brad Pitt are adopting a Syrian orphan Reports are circulating that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are adopting a 2-year-old Syrian boy called Moussa. This would be their 7th child: a brother to Maddox, 13, adopted from Cambodia; Pax, 11, adopted from Vietnam; 9-year-old Zahara adopted from Ethiopia; Shiloh, 8, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 5. According to Woman's Day, Australia's biggest-selling women's weekly magazine, the couple have been in negotiations to formally adopt Moussa, after confirming that he is an orphan. Moussa is currently living in a refugee camp in Turkey, which Angelina visited recently as part of her work as a United Nations ambassador for refugees and displaced people [as pictured above]. This isn't the first time Angelina has been rumoured to be adopting a Syrian baby - a similar story appeared in 2011 and turned out to be untrue. An unnamed source told Woman's Day magazine, "Angelina heard about him from a translator and she was obviously upset, but Moussa was just beaming from ear to ear and when he saw she was wiping tears from her eyes he toddled up to her and gave her a hug and it was a very emotional moment and everyone was suddenly laughing and smiling. She kissed him on the top of his head and then they were basically inseparable for the rest of the visit." According to The Sun, the couple are crossing their fingers that they can bring Moussa home soon. Another unnamed source claimed that "Angie and Brad's attitude towards kids is the more the better - and that once you have several a few more makes no difference". Hmmm... Angelina isn't the only one who's been moved by meeting a child living in terrible circumstances and deciding to adopt them. But in that situation, how do you choose one child from so many who need help? What do you think? Let us know below...

Practice Areas
BIS Recruiting Members for Controlled Export Advisory Committees
The Bureau of Industry and Security is recruiting through Jan. 22, 2015, new private-sector members of the following technical advisory committees, which advise BIS on the technical parameters for export controls applicable to dual-use commodities and technology within the areas indicated as well as the administration of those controls.
Information Systems TAC: Commerce Control List categories 3 (electronics), 4(computers) and 5 (telecommunications and information security)
Materials TAC: CCL category 1 (materials, chemicals, microorganisms and toxins)
Materials Processing Equipment TAC: CCL category 2 (materials processing)
Regulations and Procedures TAC: the Export Administration Regulations and procedures for implementing them
Sensors and Instrumentation TAC: CCL category 6 (sensors and lasers)
Transportation and Related Equipment TAC: CCL categories 7 (navigation and avionics), 8 (marine) and 9 (propulsion systems, space vehicles and related equipment)
Emerging Technology and Research Advisory Committee: (1) the identification of emerging technologies and research and development activities that may be of interest from a dual-use perspective; (2) the prioritization of new and existing controls to determine which are of greatest consequence to national security; (3) the potential impact of dual-use export control requirements on research activities; and (4) the threat to national security posed by the unauthorized exports of technologies
The TACs are composed of representatives of industry, academia and the U.S. government representing diverse points of view on the concerns of the exporting community. Industry representatives are selected from firms producing a broad range of goods, technologies and software currently controlled for national security, non-proliferation, foreign policy and short supply reasons or that are proposed for such controls, balanced to the extent possible among large and small firms.

Today was belly-dance class so I didn't get home in time to do any serious A&S. I did do a little more research on the late-Merovingian/Carolingian antler salt holder I will be making for my White Wolf Fian project. You can see a picture of my model here: T shaped antler salt container. I will need to buy a big piece of antler. The largest in my collection is about half the size required to make this object, which is 15 cm in length.
I also spent some time considering options for how to close the ends. I think it would have been some sort of plug in antler, bone or wood, pegged into place. The smallest hole, at the bottom, may have had a smaller plug in the first, so that only a small amount of salt would pour out. I doubt that the plugs would be easily removed, although one would need to be removable in order to add more salt. A cover of leather might also be an option for the smallest hole, though I can't quite decide how it would be attached to all those peg holes without letting the salt escape or get damp.Theoretically, metal might also be an option, but since this likely held salt, metal would corrode over time. I'm also considering ways to suspend this, as it was most likely worn hanging from a belt.
There are no obvious wear marks, no grooves, and no holes carved for suspension. Other examples do have them.

Michael Cooper
Michael Cooper was a British photographer who is remembered for his photographs of leading rock musicians of the 1960s and early 1970s, most notably the many photos he took of The Rolling Stones in the mid-1960s. Photographing artists such as Andy Warhol, Eric Clapton, Peter Blake and Jean Genet, Cooper's approachable and friendly personality alongside his unmistakable talent allowed him to capture the tumultuous lives of the stars that surrounded him. Cooper's close relationship with Keith Richards allowed him unique access into the world of The Rolling Stones. These images feature in Proud Chelsea's 2015 exhibition 'Courting The Stones: Photograhs by Michael Cooper'.

text: During a lunchtime talk at the Human Brain Mapping meeting last month, James Bjork, a program officer with the National Institute of Health's (NIH) National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), outlined recent and upcoming changes to the NIH peer-review process. The goal of these changes, he said, is essentially to "fund the best science, by the best scientists, with the least amount of administrative burden." The NIH has been introducing the revisions on a rolling basis. In January they implemented a policy according to which only one resubmission of a grant is allowed, as opposed to the two resubmissions permitted previously. This change is intended to reduce the amount of time a particular grant is circulating, and thus the amount of time devoted to reviewing it. Also, Bjork explained, the NIH will be on the lookout for the "same ideas repackaged under different names." The goal here, he said, is to have no grants creeping back into the system after two rejections. January also saw the birth of the new class of "early stage investigators": researchers who are still within 10 years of conferral of their terminal degree of completion of their final stage of residency. R01 applications from early stage investigators will be clustered during review sessions, so they will be competing against each other and not against more established researchers. This change was designed to encourage the transition to independence, to help researchers achieve their first R01 "before they are 45 years old," Bjork said. In May /June, the NIH implemented a new scoring system in which five criteria are reviewed based on a nine-point scale. Other changes include the introduction of summary statements with bullet points noting an application's primary strengths and weaknesses. Also, critiques will focus more on the quality of the investigators and less on the approach - that is, the methods to be used in the proposed study. The hope is that, by not getting mired in the details of a study, reviewers will be better able to assess its potential impact. "Whether that actually happens is up to the reviewers," Bjork said. "I've seen some pushback on this." Finally, beginning next year, applications will be limited to 12 pages and reformatted to conform to the criteria used with the new scoring system. As with critiques, these changes are intended to focus applicants' attention on the potential impact of the project -not on the details of the methods to be used. Bjork admitted that this will be a double-edged sword, as committees won't necessarily give applicants the benefit of the doubt with respect to methods - that is, they won't just assume applicants will know what they're doing. "I'm wondering how that one will shake out," he said. (Editor's note: See "Who Reviews the Review?" in the July/August issue of Biophotonics for a more in-depth discussion of these changes and the reasons for which they were made.)

Manuel wrote:So, after having compiled some of the stuff that causes confussion, here is the list of what makes the spanish community go crazy. I have opened a post in the spanish forum 2 weeks ago asking people to comment which rules use to cause confussion in their communities, and this is what I got so far; of course, there was a lot of simple rules questions that weren't understood only by individuals, but I thought they didn't make the cut for this selection because they were easy to answer by me or any other spanish player.
Perhaps I can come up with some more deviations in the future.
by request of Council of Elrond's Chairman
1st Playing resources with a character in a company that is outside of the company whose M/H phase is being played. Best example of this would be playing MT/VoM with a sage in a different company.
For this so common deviation, I use to ask people to tell me where in the rules does it say you can't do that. In the CRF it's only clarified that you can play it during site phase with a character in a different company; if it's allowed to be played also during M/H phase, then perhaps that should be clarified too. As a side question, I assume the CRF entry also implies that you can do it with a sage in a diff company even if he didn't enter in his site this site phase, am I right?
2nd Playing cards in response to another cards. Which cards can be in a chain of effects and which cards can only be at the start of the chain or simply cannot be. When do these cards effect apply. Difference between cost and effect (not sure if this is the vocabulary you use for ME CCG, but for me it works fine to understand this stuff) For example, why can you discard your daelomin at home in response to my MT to increase hazard limit before MT is resolved, but why can't I use MT in response to your Daelomin at Home being discarded before it is resolved.1st: You're right that the best response to this question is simply to say, "Well, it doesnt say anywhere that I can't play Marvels Told with a sage in a different company." The question of the 'passive' site phase for the squatting sage has a very tedious and dubious answers, so I'd prefer not to discuss it without doing an hour of research first... and I don't have an hour to DO research right now, unfortunately. Sorry!
This kind of stuff causes lots of confussion, because each carded is worded differently and not all of them are worded in a mean way. Of course, spanish translation helps a lot
2nd: Basically, the answer is: If part of the text of a card is the cost of the card, then it has to be done at declaration. A good example is Concealment: you must tap the scout in order to play Concealment, not after you play it. In general, it's always possible to respond (in some way) to an action your opponent takes. There are restrictions, however. The hazard player can never respond with a card that (potentially) initiates an attack (e.g., a creature, an ahunt, Mordor in Arms, Tidings of Bold Spies); he also can never respond with a card that is a source of corruption (but he can respond with, e.g., a card that forces a corruption check).
Timing is a slightly different, though related, issue. The basic rule here is abbreviated LIFO, which stands for "Last In = First Out". In other words, the last card or action declared in a chain is the first to resolve. This, combined with the rule about cost above, is what makes it impossible to stop Daelomin@Home. There are two possible chains here:
(1) Declare discard of Daelomin@Home (this is simultaneous with discarding D@H); opponent attempts to respond with Marvels Told, but D@H is no longer on the table, and is thus not a valid target.
(2) Marvels Told targets D@H; in response, discard of D@H. Since the discard of D@H was the LAST declared hazard, it resolves FIRST. MT tries to resolve, but its target no longer exists. Therefore, it fizzles.
3rd Lots of players assume that reconciling your hand to your normal hand size at the end of turn phase is the last thing you can do during your turn -> which means no smoke rings, ACM/WHCtK etc after reconciling.
I have redirected them several times to the Turn Sequence Rulings, where it says you can actually do that, but that keeps causing confussion mainly due to players wanting to keep the rules they played back in the 90s, and also due to an old Newsletter that was published back in the first years of the game (its name was "El Concilio") This newsletter used to make "official" aclarations about some rulings and -don't know why- they used to be wrong in some cases, or perhaps they are simply out of date at the moment. The thing is that some people still refers to this newsletter when trying to solve rules questions... I am doing my best to make people understand that the newsletter is fine for being a "relic" or an "interesting reading of the old times", but in no way the place to look for rules. I imagine there's not much we can do except insisting in this fact, but perhaps you have a better idea than me
3rd: You're right -- not much more to be said here. Repetion might eventually convince people.
4rd Dragon Ahunt Manifestations. When has a company to face them, who decides in which order do they attack (in case of multiple ahunts) and in which region is that attack keyed. Could the given attack be detainment in case of being keyed to a Dark Domain?
5th Tournament 2-deck policy. If players can bring two decks, in which cases are they allowed to choose one or the other.4th: Ahunts are not keyed to any region or region type, so they will never be detainment. Generally speaking, whoever played a card decides where it fits into the order of things when multiple passive conditions are triggered at once (as, for example, when multiple long-event environment cards are in play). However, if at the start of the mh-phase there are multiple such effects, the resource player decides which order they take. That means that the resource player could choose which ahunt to face first.
I know this is explained in the Tournament Policy, but people still tends to not understand completely (as you could see in Worlds)
5th: There really isn't an answer to this, since it depends on the tournament organizer. However, traditionally, a player is allowed to use one pair of decks PER DAY. In other words, on Friday you could play hero decks (one vs minion, one vs hero); on Saturday you could play minion (one vs minion, one vs hero); and on Sunday you could play FW (one vs minion, one vs hero). Or you could stick with the same deck the whole time. If you're talking about choosing BETWEEN decks on a given day of the tournament, then the answer is that there's no discretion for the player. He has to bring 2 decks each day: one he ALWAYS plays against hero opponents; the other he ALWAYS plays against minion opponents. At the start of the day, he must also decide which of those two decks he will use against fallen wizard opponents. He cannot use one of them vs. fallen gandalf and another vs. fallen alatar. (Also, the Balrog is just another ringwraith, so The Lidless Eye and Sauron cannot be played against him.)

Re: Common Rules Deviations in Spain
Is this contradictory to the URD stating (p. 29, section F. Movement/Hazad Phase) thatzarathustra wrote:4th: Ahunts are not keyed to any region or region type, so they will never be detainment. Generally speaking, whoever played a card decides where it fits into the order of things when multiple passive conditions are triggered at once (as, for example, when multiple long-event environment cards are in play). However, if at the start of the mh-phase there are multiple such effects, the resource player decides which order they take. That means that the resource player could choose which ahunt to face first.
?If, at the start of a player's movement/hazard phase, there are multiple effects in play such that their net effect depends on the order they are applied, the player who is currently not taking his turn (i.e., the hazard player) decides the order in which they are to be applied. Once this interpretation is established, all further actions are applied in the order they are resolved for the rest of the turn. (CRF)

Re: Common Rules Deviations in Spain
The thread title suggests that this is a rules deviation in Spain.
Remember, NetRep rulings are official. This does not necessarily mean they are correct.
You probably aren't playing Fallen Wizards correctly. This prompted the backlash erratum that I will link to as soon as I notice it is officially posted.
