Favorite Obscure RPG?
There are some great responses in that thread, but I'll throw out as one of my suggestions Legendary Lives, which is still available as a free download. I believe the second edition of the game was back in 1993, and it definitely has the feel of an early 90s fantasy RPG--its a good representative in a lot of ways as far as what was going on with game design around that period. But the sheer number of races and classes make this a blast to read, and a good source for ideas. I had some blank spots on my expanded homebrew map that needed some native races, and the Spriggans and Hobs described Legendary Lives worked out really nicely.
Let's throw the question out there: what is your favorite obscure roleplaying game, and why?

Does Everway count as obscure? I mean, it's a WOTC product, but it got marketed like Monopoly or Risk. But I've probably played more games of Everway than I have of any other RPG.

@patrickwr, I'd count Everyway as obscure. Just like I'd count Talislanta as obscure too.
Hell just about anything I played in the 80's would almost considered obscure by some of the current people I play with. (Some of them were too young to even be reading during the 80s)

Paragon, a free for download d20 superheros game. It was the only class/level/race game that really worked for me. It was especially interesting that it managed to make the class/race system work for an unusual genre like superheroes.

@patrick: Nice intro on your blog about Everway. It counters some of the negative stuff I used to hear over at RPGnet. Might have to give it a look!
@bonemaster: You're right, a lot of the 80s (and 90s now!) stuff is pretty obscure, even by gaming standards. :)
@nick: I have that file on my computer somewhere. May need to look at it...

I'm a fan of Children of the Sun. Their 'interrupt' system, the innoviation of the book, needs some tweaking to be good, but their magic-item creation system is wonderful, and I enjoy the setting, as well.

It's hard for me to choose between the many obscure games on my shelves, but I think Nobilis is a strong contender. It's a diceless roleplaying game that operates on a grand power scale -- you play something akin to a god. It's about wars, intrigues, forbidden romance, power struggles, and the possible end of reality as we don't know it.
It's also the most fun-to-read rulebook I possess.
- November 13, 2008 at 12:59 AM
Stalking the Night Fantastic. It's just a fun easy to play horror RPG that can implement any type of spookiness you can think of.

McKean looks forward to working from mayor's seat
Berne's new mayor, Bill McKean, said in a recent interview that he is looking forward to serving the city he has lived in and loves, from a different perspective.
"We all bring a different perspective to this office," said McKean. "Things have been a little bit different since Blaine Fulton served as mayor. Most mayors came through the council before being elected mayor. The last two mayors, Blaine and John Minch, came directly to this office.
"Even though I spent many years on the council, I realize that I have an awful lot to learn about being mayor," continued McKean. "I have some different ideas because I sat on council under three mayors, Delmar Neuenschwander, Blaine and the last four years under John. I have a real feel for being on the other side of the table."
McKean said he likes to think of himself mainly as a blue-collar person. He said that he has never served as an administrator such as previous Mayor Minch.
"John served as a principal. I've been a blue-collar type person," said McKean.
"One of my biggest hopes is that in the next four years, we can continue the services that we do," said McKean. "Look how many cuts there have been in a lot of the businesses and schools.
"We have a real good work force; so far we have been able to keep things going," McKean said. "At my work (barber shop), people come in from other towns and say that they've never seen a town like ours that does such a good job on snow removal. We have a top-notch work force. I hope that we don't have to step back on anything."
McKean said that he feels privileged to serve on a city government with a clerk-treasurer who has the outstanding reputation of Gwen Maller.
"Few communities our size have a CPA as a clerk-treasurer," commented the mayor. "As mayor, I will be serving on the Adams County Board of Economic Development. I've already talked with (executive director) Larry Macklin. It would be neat if we could bring more business into Berne. However, every community out there is trying to do the same thing. It's a very competitive field."
"I was council president when FCC came to Berne," continued McKean. "Mayor Fulton and the city attorney worked hard on this. With their good experience in Portland and Jay County, Berne looked good to them."
McKean said that he hopes to take time during the next few weeks to meet with the various industry and business leaders in the community.
The mayor said that he is aware that the local government doesn't have a pot of gold to offer, but he wants businesses to be aware that city officials are willing to do anything they can to help support their business efforts.
McKean said that he likes the expression, "nothing good ever happens fast."
"The main thing is to try to be consistent and build on what has already been accomplished," noted McKean.
Concerning the local infrastructure, McKean said that he understands that the current local status is ahead of the agreed order with state officials. The mayor said that one thing that would be an advantage to the community would be if a line could be run from behind the police station to the north interceptor line.
"If we could do that, then the area west of Village Way would be all separated," said McKean. "If we can do that, all of the raw sewage out there would never come into the line in Berne. That would be a real advantage for us."
McKean has spent his lifetime married to classmate Linda (Reusser) McKean.
They have three children, Craig, April Spagnola and Jill Stutzman, and nine grandchildren.
In addition to his business at the barbershop, McKean is active in his faith, First Mennonite Church.
"I enjoy sports quite a bit. I try to follow the Stars as much as I can," said McKean.
"This is a very humbling thing. I have lived in Berne all of my life. I think a lot of Berne," said McKean. "I want to do the best that I can to contribute to the work that other mayors have done. I am fortunate to have a very good council.
"I was on the council for 24 years; I can't tell you one vote that was taken where council didn't seriously consider what they felt was the right thing to do."
McKean said that at the time, he wanted to be a councilman a lot more than he wanted to be a mayor.
"After you've been on council so many years, and you've got the feel, there is a sense in which you have the feel that you want to step up," McKean said.
"The last time I lost by a small margin. It was a hard decision to run again. Losing is a hard thing to do. I know I lost to a good opponent; there was no problem with that. I asked myself the question, ' is this something I want to try again?' I served on the Hope Clinic Board. I found that very rewarding so I decided I wanted to try again," McKean said.
"I am very humbled," added McKean. "I really care about my community. I've always wanted to live here. I never had the feeling that I wanted to move away from here. I'm glad it worked out for me to spend my life in Berne."

50 Years of Bond
WTOP Film Critic Jason Fraley marks the 50th anniversary of 007.
Jason Fraley, WTOP film critic
WASHINGTON - Fifty years, 23 films and one legendary name.
"Bond. James Bond."
For five decades, we've been staring down the barrel of a gun. On this date in 1962, 007 arrived in "Dr. No."
To mark the franchise's 50th anniversary, we're counting down the Best of Bond in ten categories: Best Bond, Best Bond Girl, Best Bond Villain, Best Bond Theme, Best Bond Gadget, Best Bond Quote, Best Bond Sidekick, Best Bond Henchman, Best Bond Spoof and Best Bond Film.
So strap into your Aston Martin, shake that martini, spit a double entendre and let the debating begin.
GALLERY: When you're done checking out the ten categories below, check out this Complete Guide to Bond by WTOP Intern Carolyn Bick.
5. George Lazenby
After five Bond films, Sean Connery left the series, leaving producers Albert Broccoli and Harry Saltzman scrambling to find a replacement. They chose Australian martial arts instructor George Lazenby, who had studied under Bruce Lee before moving to London the year "Goldfinger" was released and becoming the top male fashion model in the world from 1964-1968.
His only acting experience was a collection of TV commercials and a bit part in an Italian Bond spoof, but a chance meeting with Broccoli in a hair salon planted the seed.
Lazenby only did one Bond film, but "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" (1969) is highly underrated. He quit the role just before the film premiered, forcing the studio to bring back Connery for "Diamonds Are Forever." Still, his meteoric time as Bond shone so bright that it tops Timothy Dalton in our Top 5.
4. Pierce Brosnan
Pierce Brosnan claims that "Goldfinger" was the very first movie he saw as a child. Who knew that the kid sitting in that theater, watching the gold twinkle in his eye, would later take the reigns in "GoldenEye" (1995).
Brosnan was actually first offered the role of Bond in "The Living Daylights" (1987), but had to pull out over conflicts with his NBC show "Remington Steele." So, the role instead went to Timothy Dalton, who carried the franchise for two films, before resigning in the early '90s.
During that time, American audiences had come to know Brosnan as Sally Field's boyfriend and Robin Williams' nemesis in "Mrs. Doubtfire" (1993). Two years later, Brosnan was handed the keys to 007 in "GoldenEye," a film that became engrained in the minds of entire generation thanks to the popular video game of the same name.
His three follow-up films allowed him to "bond" with Teri Hatcher, Sophie Marceau, Denise Richards and Halle Berry, but the films themselves were forgettable.
3. Roger Moore
With seven films, Roger Moore was the most prolific Bond and held the role of 007 from 1973-1985.
Prior to that, he had made a name for himself in TV, appearing in shows like "Ivanhoe" (1958), "Maverick" (1957) and "The Saint" (1962).
At age 45, he became the oldest actor to debut as Bond in "Live and Let Die" (1973), and his age really shows in the final film "A View to a Kill" (1985). Moore named that film his least favorite, while calling "The Spy Who Loved Me" (1977) his favorite, thanks to a spectacular ski-chase, parachute jump and underwater car.
Under Moore's watch, the Bond films began moving more toward self- parody, but he could deliver innuendo with the best of them, and it was he who stared down some of the franchise's most famous villains, from Francisco Scaramanga ("The Man with the Golden Gun") to Jaws ("The Spy Who Loved Me," "Moonraker").
2. Daniel Craig
OK, so maybe it's too early to put Craig above Roger Moore, but I have a hunch he'll go down as arguably the toughest, most attractive, most complex Bond character to date. A product of British theater, Craig burst onto the film scene with supporting roles in "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider" (2001), "Road to Perdition" (2002) and the cocaine crime thriller "Layer Cake" (2004).
When he was tapped to become Bond in 2006, he became the first blond-haired Bond and the first born after the start of the series and the death of author Ian Fleming. The result was "Casino Royale" (2006), a modern action masterpiece that reinvented Bond by exploring his broken-hearted origins.
You can call "Quantum of Solace" (2008) a sophomore slump, but expect big things from "Skyfall" next month, where he'll stare down a villainous Javier Bardem ("No Country for Old Men") and reunite with "Perdition" director Sam Mendes ("American Beauty"). Let's not forget that Connery's third ("Goldfinger") and Moore's third ("The Spy Who Loved Me") were their respective bests, and "Skyfall" will push him past Timothy Dalton and George Lazenby on the Bond count.
1. Sean Connery
No doubt, the Craig camp will be disappointed he's not in the top slot, but to me, it's a LeBron James vs. Michael Jordan argument. Perhaps Craig has the talent to one day overtake Connery, but Connery is the king with six rings. How can you go against the original? The man who coined the phrase "Bond, James Bond?"
At age 23, Connery chose to go into acting instead of professional football, appearing in movies like "The Longest Day" (1962) before being cast as Bond in "Dr. No" (1962).
Author Ian Fleming at first didn't like the casting of Connery, instead wanting Cary Grant, who played a similar role in Hitchcock's "North By Northwest" (1959). Like Grant, Connery became the man all the ladies wanted and every man wanted to be.
"From Russia with Love" (1963) was his personal favorite, "Goldfinger" (1964) was his most iconic, and "Thunderball" (1965) remains the highest grossing (adjusted for inflation).
He briefly retired from the role after "You Only Live Twice" (1967), but was convinced to return for "Diamonds Are Forever" (1971). His wild popularity later transferred into critical respect, earning an Oscar for "The Untouchables" (1987). And when it came time for Steven Spielberg and George Lucas to cast the third "Indiana Jones" film, they said, "who else could play the father of Indiana Jones but James Bond himself?"
5. Claudine Auger as Domino Derval in "Thunderball"
As the Bond Girl in the highest grossing Bond film (adjusted for inflation), Domino Derval is a deliciously popular favorite.
4. Honor Blackman as Pussy Galore in "Goldfinger"
"Who are you?"
"My name is Pussy Galore."
"I must be dreaming."
Honor Blackman's Pussy Galore epitomized the trend of Bond Girls with ridiculously sexual names and left us all wanting to go for a romp in the hay.
3. Eva Green as Vesper Lynd in "Casino Royale"
Bond was able to blow through women at will -- until he met Vesper Lynd in "Casino Royale" (2006). Or, seeing as the film is a quasi prequel, I guess you could say he gave up on love after he was burned by Lynd.
2. Barbara Bach as Anya Amasova in "The Spy Who Loved Me"
Few Bond Girls could give it right back to Bond like Barbara Bach's Anya Amasova, a.k.a. Triple X, who allows 007 to "enter a new era of Anglo-Soviet cooperation." Upset that Bond killed her Soviet lover, Bach has a complex relationship with 007, and steals his "shaken not stirred" line in a car-smashing assault on "Jaws."
1. Ursula Andress as Honey Ryder in "Dr. No"
Her appearance didn't come until late in the movie, but no Bond girl has had a better entrance than Ursula Andress coming up out of the water carrying those conch shells in that creamy bikini. The scene was so famous that Halle Berry re-enacted it in "Die Another Day."
5. Christopher Lee as Francisco Scaramanga in "The Man with the Golden Gun"
Not only does he possess the title weapon, Francisco Scaramanga pleasures his girlfriend with it.
4. Mads Mikkelsen as LeChiffre in "Casino Royale"
As long as I live, I will never forget LeChiffre's torture scene, strapping Bond to a bottomless chair and aiming straight for his cajones.
3. Robert Shaw as Red Grant in "From Russia with Love"
A decade before playing Doyle Lonnegan in "The Sting" and Quint in "Jaws," Robert Shaw played the blonde Russian brute Red Grant.
His train fight with Bond remains one of the best in the series, launched by his taunt at gunpoint, "The first one won't kill you. Not the second. Not even the third. Not until you crawl over here and kiss my foot!"
2. Gert Frobe as Auric Goldfinger in "Goldfinger"
Fat, balding and a cheater at golf, Auric Goldfinger doesn't appear all that menacing, but his mind is absolutely twisted. His fetish of painting his female victims gold is disturbing, and his scheme of nuking Fort Knox to wreck Western currency is unmatched.
He holds the distinction as the best Bond trap (the laser) and the best Bond threat: "Do you expect me to talk?" "No, Mr. Bond. I expect you to die!"
1. Various Actors as Ernst Stavro Blofeld
Number 1 on our list is No. 1 himself, the man who runs the evil espionage empire SPECTRE.
He first appeared in "From Russia with Love," with audiences never seeing his face as he stroked a lap kitty.
Later, when we saw his pale face with a scar down his eye, the seeds for Dr. Evil had been planted.
Ernst Stavro Blofeld appeared in six Bond films: "From Russia With Love," "Thunderball," "You Only Live Twice," "On Her Majesty's Secret Service," "Diamonds Are Forever," and "For Your Eyes Only" and was played by a number of actors, including Donald Pleasance, Telly Savalas and Max von Sydow.
5. "A View to a Kill"
Written by John Barry and performed by Duran Duran, "A View to a Kill" remains the only Bond theme to hit No. 1 on the Billboard charts.
4. "Diamonds are Forever"
Shirley Bassey was the queen of Bond themes, and "Diamonds Are Forever" has a haunting quality to it. It was later sampled by Kanye West in "Diamonds of Sierra Leone."
3. "Live and Let Die"
The first Bond theme to be nominated for an Oscar, Paul McCartney's "Live and Let Die" reached No. 2 on U.S. Billboard charts. It was later covered by Guns N Roses.
2. "Nobody Does it Better"
Five years after he won Oscars for "The Sting" and "The Way We Were," the late composer Marvin Hamlisch teamed with Carole Bayer Sager to write the theme for "The Spy Who Loved Me." Belted out by Carly Simon, "Nobody Does it Better" earned an Oscar nomination and landed No. 67 on the AFI's Top 100 Movie Songs of All Time.
1. "Goldfinger"
The gold standard of Bond themes, Shirley Bassey's "Goldfinger" starts off with a bang of wailing horns and doesn't quit. The lyrics are a warning to beware of "the man with the Midas touch, a spider's touch." Voted No. 53 on the AFI's Top 100 Movie Songs, "Goldfinger" is a legend of movie music.
5. Exploding Pen in "GoldenEye"
In "Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade," Sean Connery was told "the pen is mightier than the sword." Pierce Brosnan proved it in "GoldenEye."
4. Ericsson Cell Phone in "Tomorrow Never Dies"
Imagine being able to drive a car with your cell phone. Bond did it in "Tomorrow Never Dies."
3. Lotus Esprit in "The Spy Who Loved Me"
Outrunning a helicopter, Bond launched his car off a pier into the water, only for his Lotus Espirit to transform into an underwater vehicle.
2. Jet Pack in "Thunderball"
Bond was evasive before he went airborne. Once he used his rocket belt clip to take off, jet pack style, the villains didn't stand a chance.
1. Aston Martin DB5 in "Goldfinger"
The crowned jewel of Bond gadgetry, his Aston Martin DB5 came with a bulletproof shield and passenger- side ejector seat. It first appeared in "Goldfinger," and has since become as synonymous with Bond as his shaken martinis.
5. "You Only Live Twice" - "Women come second"
Bond was filled with double entendres, but his best came in "You Only Live Twice." While visiting Japan, Tiger Tanaka shows Bond the ropes, saying, "Rule number two: in Japan, men always come first, women come second." Bond slyly responds, "I just might retire here."
4. "Goldfinger" - "Shocking"
After frying a baddie with a toaster in the bathtub, Bond says, "Shocking. Positively shocking."
3. "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" - "He had lots of guts"
After a Bond villain skis into a snow-blower and red snow sprays everywhere, Bond turns to his girl and says, "He had lots of guts."
2. "Goldfinger"- "Shaken, not stirred"
The line "shaken, not stirred" was mentioned by other characters in the first two Bond films, but it wasn't until the third installment, "Goldfinger," that Bond delivered the famous line himself. Voted No. 90 on the AFI's Top 100 Movie Quotes, the line has been repeated in countless films since.
1. "Dr. No" - "Bond, James Bond"
Who knew three words could sound so cool? Sean Connery introduced himself as "Bond, James Bond" in "Dr. No" and we've been saying it ever since. The line ranks No. 22 on the AFI's Top 100 Movie Quotes.
5. Bill Tanner
M's chief of staff was both reliable and brought occasional comic relief. Bill Tanner appears in six films with various actors: Michael Goodliffe in "The Man with the Golden Gun," James Villiers in "For Your Eyes Only," Michael Kitchen in "GoldenEye" and "The World is Not Enough," and Rory Kinnear in "Quantum of Solace" and "Skyfall."
4. Felix Leiter
Felix Leiter was such a popular character in the books, that when Hollywood produced "Dr. No" out of order, he was added into the script, even though he wasn't in the "Dr. No" novel. Felix appears in nine Bond films with multiple actors: Jack Lord in "Dr. No," Cec Linder in "Goldfinger," Rik Van Nutter in "Thunderball," Norman Burton in "Diamonds are Forever," David Hedison in "Live and Let Die" and "License to Kill," John Terry in "The Living Daylights" and Jeffrey Wright in "Casino Royale" and "Quantum of Solace."
3. Miss Moneypenny
While James Bond was off running around with multiple women, one woman was constant through the years, MI6 secretary Miss Moneypenny. Played by Louis Maxwell in the first 14 films, Caroline Bliss in the Timothy Dalton era and Samantha Bond in the Pierce Brosnan years, Moneypenny's flirtatious exchanges with Bond are gold.
The head of MI6, M is the character who gives Bond his marching orders. Played by Bernard Lee in the first 11 films, Robert Brown from 1983-1989 and Judi Dench from "GoldenEye" (1995) to present. She figures to feature prominently in next month's "Skyfall."
Of all of Bond's MI6 sidekicks, Q is easily the coolest. That's because he's the one unveiling all the cool gadgets, much like Morgan Freeman in the "Dark Knight" movies. The role of Q was played by Peter Burton in "Dr. No," Desmond Llewelyn for the next 18 (minus "Live and Let Die"), John Cleese in "Die Another Day" and Ben Whishaw" in the upcoming "Skyfall."
5. Nick Nack - "The Man with the Golden Gun"
Herve Villechaize shined as Scaramanga's mini henchman in "The Man with the Golden Gun." As a little person, he was able to fit into tight spaces, like above ceiling titles and inside suitcases in the film's final showdown.
4. May Day - "A View to a Kill"
Grace Jones turned May Day into one of the most memorable Bond henchmen (or henchwomen) by switching sides and sacrificing herself in the end.
3. Rosa Klebb - "From Russia With Love"
SPECTRE's Number 3 Rosa Klebb proved that women didn't have to be beautiful Bond Girls. They could also be nasty henchmen. When the Bond Girl says, "What a horrible woman," Bond responds, "Yes, she's had her kicks," referring to her poisonous spiked shoe.
2. Oddjob - "Goldfinger"
Throwing a killer hat with Korean wrestling skills, Oddjob was the perfect henchman for Goldfinger. He was deadly in hand-to-hand combat and could even dispose of the body at the local junkyard.
1. Jaws - "The Spy Who Loved Me" and "Moonraker"
Easily the most memorable Bond henchman, the metal-mouthed Jaws destroyed his foes with a slow bite to the neck. The massive brute took a beating and kept on coming, even biting a shark.
5. 2012 London Olympics
The funniest moment of the entire London Olympics came when the Queen of England parachuted into the opening ceremony with James Bond in a British flag parachute.
4. Casino Royale (1967)
Long before the Daniel Craig movie, "Casino Royale" was a '60s parody with bigtime starpower. Starring David Niven as Bond, Ursula Andress as Vesper Lynd, Orson Welles as Le Chiffre and John Huston as "M," the film also featured Peter Sellers, Woody Allen, Charles Boyer, Deborah Kerr and William Holden.
3. Inspector Gadget (1983)
The '90s animated cartoon was a clear homage to 007, with a number of high-tech gadgets and a faceless villain stroking a cat.
2. Get Smart (1965)
It was billed as "an insane combination of James Bond and Mel Brooks comedy." Indeed, Mel Brooks and Buck Henry mined plenty of laughs in the spoof TV series "Get Smart," starring Don Adams and Barbara Feldon. It was remade as a movie starring Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway in 2008.
1. "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery" (1997)
For those who have seen few Bond films, "Austin Powers" is a hilarious guide to all the classic elements. Instead of Dr. No, we get Dr. Evil. Instead of Oddjob, we get Random Task. Instead of Pussy Galore, we get Ivana Humpalot. And instead of James Bond, we get Mr. Mojo Austin Powers. Laced with swingin' "Soul Bossa Nova" by Quincy Jones and multiple roles from Mike Myers, "Austin Powers" may be the most important comedy of the last 15 years and the ultimate tribute to 007.
5. Dr. No (1962)
As the one that started it all, it would be irresponsible not to include "Dr. No." The film introduced the gun barrel intro, the quote "Bond, James Bond," the very first (and best) Bond girl in Ursula Andress, and the villainous mastermind with an over-the-top plot to take over the world. Most importantly, it brought us the legendary theme song by John Barry and Monty Norman.
4. "From Russia with Love" (1963)
Bond's second film was Connery's favorite, perhaps because it most resembled Hitchcock's "North By Northwest" with its Soviet espionage plot, train car romance, a love interest that may be a double agent, and a helicopter chase resembling Hitchcock's cropduster. The film introduced the most prolific Bond villain (Ernst Stavro Blofeld), a cold-blooded killer (Red Grant) and a nasty female henchman (Klebb). While "Dr. No" introduced the gun barrel intro, "From Russia with Love" was the first to feature flashy opening credits. More importantly, it proved Bond sequels could work, upping the ante on innuendo until the final scene where Bond kisses his girl on a Venice gondola, dangling a film strip of their own sex tape over her head, then tossing it into the water.
3. "The Spy Who Loved Me" (1977)
The best of the Roger Moore films, "The Spy Who Loved Me" inspired Dr. Evil's "shark with frickin' laser beams" line, thanks to an underwater lair with a trapdoor dropping victims into a shark tank. Fittingly, the film arrived two years after Spielberg's "Jaws," which is referenced in the film's metal-mouthed henchman Jaws and Bond's beach arrival of his underwater car. "The Spy Who Loved Me" kicks off with a spectacular ski-slope opening, where Bond flies off a cliff, only for a British flag parachute to open. The film features one of the best Bond Girls in Triple X and a great song from Carly Simon, "Nobody Does it Better," written by the late Marvin Hamlisch ("The Way We Were"), who pays homage to Maurice Jarre with a "Dr. Zhivago" music box tune and the "Lawrence of Arabia" score as Bond treks across the desert. Editor John Glen went on to direct four Bond films from "Octopussy" (1981) to "License to Kill" (1989), and here he uses parallel action of the hero and love interest in adjacent rooms, building sexual tension until the bad guy attacks (influencing Spielberg's "Temple of Doom"). Indeed, the Roger Moore pictures marked a transition from Hitchcock's seeds to Spielbergian action.
2. Casino Royale (2006)
At a time many thought Bond was dead, "Casino Royale" did the impossible, reinventing a 40-year-old franchise with the best character study of its hero to date. It did this by going back to the beginning, Ian Fleming's first book, and showing us what hardened Bond, the broken heart of lost love, thanks to Vesper Lynd. It was a new starting point, perhaps with an alternate timeline going forward. Daniel Craig wowed us with his complex performance, Eva Green was sultry and sensational, and Mads Mikkelsen was a horrifying villain as LeChiffre.
1. Goldfinger (1964)
"Goldfinger" is the best Bond movie because each individual element became one of the best: Bond (Sean Connery), Villain (Auric Goldfinger), Henchman (Oddjob), Bond Girl (Pussy Galore), Gadget (Aston Martin), Quote ("Shaken, not stirred"), Set Piece (Goldfinger's lair with Fort Knox scaled model), Trap (laser beam) and Theme Song (Shirley Bassey's "Goldfinger"). Still, "Goldfinger" is greater than the sum of its parts, winning an Oscar for Best Sound Effects to boot. Connery was at the height of his talents, appearing in "Goldfinger" the same year that he played a darker role in Hitchcock's "Marnie." After "Dr. No" kicked off the franchise and "From Russia with Love" established many its trademarks, "Goldfinger" became its most iconic.

Success adds up in Dubach's final year of teaching
For the fifth time in his teaching career, Adams Central math teacher Rick Dubach worked the proper equation to inspire his eighth grade math team to capture an Indiana state math championship. The AC math team competed in regional action at Fort Wayne Wayne and was pitted up against teams from such schools as Marion, Fort Wayne middle schools, Bellmont, Southwest Allen and Columbia City.
According to team member Hunter Bates, questions were posted and teams had 20 seconds to answer. Team tabulators kept track of each team's activity. In the end, the AC squad scored 18 of 25 correct, which was the best in the Wayne Regional. But it wasn't until all other regionals in Adams Central's class were tabulated over the weekend that it was realized that the local squad had the best score in the state.
Once received, the state championship plaque will be placed with other state title and placement plaques on Dubach's classroom wall.
"You could talk to your partners and work as a team," said Bates. "After every question, they gave the right answer, so we could see how we were doing question by question.
"This is great. It has helped me a lot in the classroom; it makes me want to sharpen all of my skills," continued Bates. "This makes me really want to work hard in high school and get a good grade point average. I learned how much hard work pays off. It makes me want to work hard to get a good scholarship."
"It's a great feeling to know that you are the state champion," commented team member David Fox. "It's awesome; we all worked hard for this. Mr. Dubach worked hard with us throughout the year to learn the problems. It makes me feel great. I learned a lot of new things."
Calvin Isch said that team members put in many hours studying during math class and staying after school to work on potential question situations. He noted that team members were prepared for things they needed to know.
"Mr. Dubach gave us equations that we needed to know. In some ways, they were harder than the contest to help prepare for competition," observed Isch.
"He worked hard to guide us. I definitely want to do this in high school. Hopefully we will win state then, too."
"We're all especially happy that we won the state in Mr. Dubach's last year," noted James Weil. "It was an awesome experience; we kept watching the score.
We knew that we had a chance to win state but we didn't know for sure until all of the scores were in."
Weil said that he was especially excited to be on a state championship team since his brother, Jacob, was also on a state title team a few years ago.
"I am studying more all of the time," Weil said. "All of those problems were really hard. I know that is how high school is going to be."
Dubach said that his attention was drawn to the motivational factor of the competition in the early 1980s when a teacher at the time, seventh grade teacher Mike Brown, took a team to competition in Jay County and told him how great it was. For many years, Dubach said, competition was held at Jay County.
"I loved seeing how the minds of these kids work," said Dubach, who has coached math competition for 25 years. "I've always been amazed at how quick they can come up with answers to very difficult problems.
"When I've coached them I've always tried to approach this the same way I did when I coached basketball and baseball," noted Dubach. "I always tried to make practice more difficult than the contest so that the contest would seem easier."
After graduating from South Adams High School, where he met and eventually married his high school sweetheart, Karen (Liechty) Dubach, he attended Manchester College and received a degree in teaching.
Dubach attended three southern Adams County schools while living with his parents (Wayne and Annabelle Dubach) in their family home in Hartford Township. It was a time of transition into South Adams High School he attended Hartford School through the seventh grade. From eighth grade through his sophomore year, he attended Geneva High School. Then, after consolation, he moved on to South Adams where he played a major part in an outstanding Starfire basketball team coached by former educator and mayor John Minch.
Dubach, who is retiring with 40 years of teaching at Adams Central under his belt, started teaching at AC in 1972. For many years he taught four classes of eighth grade math. In recent years, he has taught algebra to eighth graders and three sections of high school students.
Dubach said that part of his decision to retire could be attributed to frustration and loss of energy demanded by the state's new and strict testing requirements.
"I'm responsible for 120 kids a day. The state has taken some of the fun out of it because of the testing they do," Dubach said. "Algebra One is a high stakes class. Before all of this testing came, you could be more creative. You could make things more fun.
"All summer long I do construction work, putting on roofing and siding. Now, at the end of a teaching day, I am four times more tired than I am after all of that hard physical labor during the summer," observed Dubach.
"I always worry, have I covered enough material for the state test?" continued Dubach. "I'm concerned about material for the state test. I really worried about it. I look at it; it gets worse and worse. I was getting more tired and more tired.
I've always tried to be a very positive person. I didn't want to get negative and pass that on to the kids. I figured that this was a good time to retire."
Dubach said that the decision to retire has been a very bittersweet one for him. He has really enjoyed teaching students of the Adams Central community, including many teachers, educators and school employees that are involved in the school at this time.
"As I look at all kids on the math teams through the years, they have been highly successful people, lawyers, doctors, teachers, engineers; they have been highly successful," observed Dubach.
"It makes me feel great when I see how so many of these kids turned out. I feel good when they come back and visit and tell me how they are doing now," added Dubach. "I always had high expectations for the kids. There were things that they thought they couldn't do; it was always neat to discover with them that they could do more than they thought. This is a very bittersweet and emotional time for me, but I feel like it is the right time to do this."

Launched in 2001, the open design of Stokke® Care™ creates a spacious changing environment for you and your child. Providing freedom to move feet and arms freely, without space for your child to roll over, and proper room for your feet under the table, which enables you to get closer to your child to enhance interaction and communication.

WASHINGTON - After the Washington Redskins took on the rival Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving and won 38-31, Redskins fans rejoiced.
It's possible, though, that no one celebrated as much as Tucson, Ariz., resident Emanuel Vega, who won a bet with his pregnant girlfriend thanks to RG3 throwing for 311 yards.
The prize? Vega now gets to name their firstborn son "Robert Griffin Vega," reports The Washington Post's Dan Steinberg.
If the Cowboys had come back to win the game, Vega instead would have been introducing the world to "Austin Miles Vega."

Find out about exhibitions, activities, tours and talks at Birmingham Museums
Aston Hall, Blakesley Hall and Soho House provide a choice of spectacular and elegant locations for your dream wedding.
14th January 2014
Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery, part of the Birmingham Museums Trust, has teamed up with Cerebral Palsy Midlands, a locally based charity that empowers and supports people with cerebral palsy and other related disabilities from across the city and the West Midlands.
Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery and Cerebral Palsy Midlands will be working together to consult with people who have visual impairments and other physical and learning disabilities who live across Birmingham. Through a series of consultative workshops, people will give their opinions towards the development of a new exhibition for the Museum's Staffordshire Hoard display, and how it can be as accessible and engaging as possible for people with certain conditions.
Birmingham Museums was originally awarded £704,500 from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) to be used towards the creation of a new exhibition space for the Hoard. The exhibition will display approximately 300 items from the 7th century collection, and will bring across the story and theories behind the Hoard, and how it is important in context with Anglo-Saxon history and culture. The exhibition is due to open in autumn 2014.
Richard Statham, Community Engagement Manager for Birmingham Museums Trust said: "The Staffordshire Hoard is a fantastic treasure for Birmingham and the whole of the West Midlands Region. We are delighted to be working with the group on ways we can bring the Hoard to life for all our visitors."
Zoe Partington, a freelance artist and consultant who shall be delivering the workshops in conjunction with the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery said: "I am delighted to be working with BMAG and CPW to develop creative interpretation resources for disabled audiences visiting the Staffordshire Hoard in the new gallery space. It is so refreshing to be working with organisations that really want positive change and inclusion of disabled people in the process of opening up our heritage for all. I look forward to getting to know all the other disabled people working on this project and being part of this incredible jewel in the heart of the West Midlands".
For more information on the development of the Staffordshire Hoard exhibition, please contact Richard Statham (Community Engagement Manager) on 0121 303 2782

Those who argue for prayer in schools really mean that they want their particular brand of prayer in school.
For those in a predominantly protestant environment, I don't think they would care for a prayer which began "Hail Mary, full of grace".
Nor would they want a prayer which began by facing mecca.
It is laughable.
"As the twig is bent, so grows the tree."
(from a fortune cookie I got in my Chinese take-out last night -
a second one said, "A wet bird never flies at night!")
Republican state legislatures and school boards, especially in the confederacy, are hard at work trying to transform their state laws and education codes to replace evolution with creationism, and they are having growing success. The next step will be prayer - Christian, of course - in the classroom. Most states already mandate the recitation of a pledge that includes the declaration that we are a nation "under God;" can teacher-led prayer be far behind? And don't be so sure that the Catholic-dominated U.S. Supreme Court will strike down such laws as unconstitutional. Justice Scalia, for example, has already made it clear that he believes that there is no direct or implied separation of church and state in the Constitution.
After all, if Americans were stupid enough to elect the moronic George W. Bush, who subsequently gathered up the sword of King Richard and, with the imprimatur of his mythical god, slaughtered and tortured hundreds of thousands of innocents, they are stupid enough to allow religious zealots to determine the country's future.
It is an open question as to which will occur first in America: the gradual fading away of religion, or the gradual transformation of the United States into a third world idiocracy of religious intolerance. I would be more optimistic if there were at least one avowed atheist among the 535 members of Congress.
Kids of elementary school age have a huge tendency to simply accept anything they are taught in school as a fact. (We have taught them to be that way, to some extent.)
Although prayer in school occasionally happens, it's technically illegal here and eventually gets slapped down. However, apparently it IS legal to set up Christian groups in a school after hours as long as some sort of nominal rent is paid for the space. Exploiting this is the "Good News Clubs" that hold their events immediately after school, and invite kids to come for "non-denominational" bible study (they will go through the whole parental consent routine, lying to the parents about the nature of the event), at which point the kids are quite actively propagandized into a very hard core evangelical protestantism, to the point where they will turn into bullies for Jesus during the regular school day. A daily prayer in school is quite passive compared to what goes on in these clubs. I saw Richard Dawkins and Katherine Stewart (live) re-enacting one of the dialogs that's in the script for these clubs. Imagine the impact on the six or seven year old kid when he is told to open the envelope to find out the penalty for an unforgiven sin, and reads "Death." And his class mate gets "Life" for accepting Jesus. (The lord's prayer, by contrast, doesn't say diddly about the whole "believe in X and all your sins are forgiven, don't believe and you go to hell" aspect of Xian theology but it does have a vaguely apocalyptic bent to it in one line.)
And the kids are given every reason to think it's part of school; that impression is deliberately fostered by the Good News Clubs. The clubs will try to get permission for their teacher to come in and set up at the end of (but during) the actual school day, the more to look like just a regular old school activity. They will adamantly reject proposals that they instead meet in the church next door to the school. Kids talking to their parents about what they learn will often be heard to say "but I learned this in school!" What often happens once these clubs get established is that parents end up turning on each other as they realize their kids are being propagandized into the "wrong" branch of Xianity. (The Good Newsers, for instance will teach that mainline protestants and catholics aren't real Xians, you can imagine what happens in a catholic or presbyterian household when Johnny spouts off like that... and he learned it in school.) Katherine Stewart was able to infiltrate the organization and get their training materials, and learn that their goal is in fact to destroy public education; if they cannot have it and use it they will break it.
Long rant there but it does offer a perspective on why they want the prayer to be in school; they are getting kids between 4-14 when they are most willing to uncritically absorb what they are taught in school.
I, more briefly, made the same point as Steve earlier, but to cite a personal example that should demonstrate what Steve and I are saying, I know that many Americans were raised on the story of little George Washington chopping down his Daddy's cherry tree.
One thing I recall vividly from my text book in second grade, was the story of how the Father of America, George Washington, when just a child himself, received a new hatchet for his birthday. Anxious to try it out, little George surveyed the rows of blossoming cherry trees lining his father's long, winding driveway. Choosing one of these, he commenced to break up the set by using his hatchet and chopping it down. Obviously his father noticed its absence on the buggyride up the driveway to the house, after a long day at the office, located his young son, and asked him about it.
I think even those readers who may not be native to America are familiar with little George's famous reply, "Father, I cannot tell a lie - I did it with my little hatchet."
As a reward for his honesty, little George's father, George Herbert Walker Washington, declined to punish little George W for his behavior, thus freeing little George from the belief that actions require a willingness to accept responsibility for those actions, so that should he decide to invade a country for its oil, once he'd become president, he would feel no compunction about inventing weapons of mass destruction as an excuse. But I digress --
Once upon a time in America, in 1800, there was a "gentleman," and I use the term ever so loosely, named Weems. Reverend Mason Locke Weems, it seems, was not only a pastor but also, each in its turn, a sailor, a medical student, an accomplished player of the fiddle, author, and a traveling book salesman. During his pastoring days, which occurred sporadically whenever his book sales were down, he found himself teaching a Sunday School class in addition to his regular duties, predicting hellfire and damnation. He wanted his wide-eyed young class to learn the evil of telling lies, so he concocted the story of young Washington as a shining example of the reward for always being truthful. He taught his lesson of truthfulness by fabricating a lie and passing it on to innocent little minds as the truth, a lie so convincing, that generations later, that lie could still be found in reputable text books designed to educate other little children.
Later, he wrote a book about the life of Washington, likely just as authentic as his Sunday School story, but because, in the early 1800's, the public was hungry to learn about the father of their country (combined with the fact that there was little else but the Bible to take to the outhouse for reading material) that, authentic or not, it sold well. The story has since been deleted from all official public school books, but for many years, it was what all young children were taught.
You get all the good fortune cookies. Mine usually have some bs about talking about distant relatives and opportunities. I want fortune cookies that have profound proverbs in them. or maybe sterilized dollar bills. That would be a real fortune cookie right? You get the good fortune of having tip money for the waiter/ waitress.
