Hi everyone! I had so much fun making "The Pitch" for the holidays in 2010 that I really wanted to make a Passover sequel. I finally got a chance, gathered the cast and made "The Focus Group" a reality! I hope you enjoy this ridiculous send-up of spring holiday traditions.
Big thanks to the Newgrounds community for Daily 3rd Place, front page, lots of views and some interesting and unexpected religious discussions in the reviews!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
This toon rocks!! Everything is so true - especially love when the kid bites into the matzah and bursts into tears. And I definitely don't think this is about religion at all, it's about tradition and how it looks when we take a step back and look at it from an outsider's perspective.
@Blue - Passover IS 8 days so you definitely don't 'know the truth'. Clearly your Passover holiday differs greatly from the Jewish one, or else you should probably keep studying!
Rated 0 / 5 stars
I have studied and even celebrated passover before haha it is nothing like that. The calender is wrong passover only happens one day. And you are only supposed to eat food without leaven, for example yeast or baking soda. It is not as bad the animator makes it out to be. Would be funny if i hadn't known the truth so ill be generous.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
awesome thing!...
although it is not good, to discriminate the religious people that way, that man's comportament, was very inapropiate for childrem... kidz, shouldn't understand religion as a painfull thing, because, they will never get a like to it... religion isn't like that... it is like that only seen through the eyes of an ateist. i hope you are not one!....
anyway great animation!... you have my 5/5!
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
Animation was excellent, but you should try to get the voices better. I could hardly understand what the kid who raised his hand said ...
Thank you for the comment. I put up a file with better quality audio, hopefully that will fix the problem!

NHL GMs endorse rules changes
Hybrid icing could be on its way to the NHL.
The league's general managers met Wednesday and embraced many of the changes recommended by the competition committee, including hybrid icing and the mandatory use of visors for all players entering the league.
A blend of touch and no-touch icing that offers referees the discretion to blow a play dead will be in effect during the 2013-14 preseason. If the experiment is successful, hybrid icing will be implemented for the regular season, pending a vote by the NHL's board of governors.
Mathieu Schneider, a former defenseman who is now a special assistant to NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr, said both sides should have a better gauge by the end of the preseason whether hybrid icing is likely to pass.
''I'm optimistic,'' Schneider said. ''I've learned more through these meetings, watching videos and getting a better understanding.''
The rule is designed to promote safer play, allowing a linesman to blow his whistle if he judges a defending player is likely to reach the puck first.
''There's different types of the hybrid icing that have been used in different leagues, so we're still going to hammer some of those details out,'' Schneider said. ''But essentially it's meant to eliminate guys going full speed into the end boards.
''If it makes the game safer, it's a great thing.''
Dallas Stars general manager Jim Nill said he and his colleagues haven't come to a consensus on the issue.
''The players in the American (Hockey) League have a good feel for it. Now the NHLers need to get a feel for it,'' he said. ''I've seen it work in every league that uses it and it works seamlessly.''
The biggest obstacle to implementation may be how it will be officiated.
''There has to be an outright win,'' Schneider said. ''If it's clear that the forward is going to win the race for the puck, if there's a dangerous situation, then the ref has the ability to blow it down.''
Hall of Famer and Tampa Bay Lightning general manager Steve Yzerman said very few general managers, if any, favor no-touch icing, leaving the hybrid version as the best option.
''Not that there's many injuries on the icing now, but the injuries that are there are very severe, and we'd like to try the hybrid icing as a good compromise,'' he said. ''I'm hopeful that the preseason gives it enough time for the players to vote in support of it.''
The general managers also approved the mandatory use of visors for every player entering the league. Players who have played in a certain amount of NHL games will be grandfathered in, allowed to decide if they want to don a protective shield.
The topic was fueled when New York Rangers defenseman Marc Staal was hit in the eye with a puck on March 5, causing him to miss the remainder of the regular season and all but one of the Rangers' playoff games.
Yzerman, who wore a visor during his final season, thinks every player should have to wear one.
''We've seen some serious eye injuries along the way here and injuries that can be avoided by simply a player wearing a shield,'' he said. ''Being a manager of a team and wanting your players on the ice for every possible game, and avoiding every injury that could possibly be avoided, I'm in support of our guys wearing them.''
Eventually every player will be wearing one, according to NHL director of hockey operations Colin Campbell.
''We're going to end up with all players wearing visors,'' he said, ''which is a good thing.''
Also approved Wednesday was the use of shallower nets and video review on four-minute high-sticking penalties. Both will be introduced next season if approved by the board.

Sonora police investigate after 2-year-old found alone with knife
Police are investigating a possible case of child endangerment after a passerby found a 2-year-old alone in the street, wearing only a dirty diaper and carrying a knife.
According to authorities, officers were called to a medical office in the 100 block of Shepherd Street at 9:18 a.m. Friday. A witness found the child wandering around the street. It was not clear what kind of knife the child had. Attempts to locate the toddler's parents were unsuccessful, so the woman left the child at the office and went back out to resume the search.
The witness found a man in a creek and asked if he was looking for a child. The man was evasive, police said, telling the witness he didn't know. The witness followed the man to a home on Brookside Place. Another man came out of the house and said he had been watching the child.
The second man, identified as Johnnie Schriver of Sonora, said he thought the child was playing in the backyard. But when he went to check, the child was missing and the side gate was open.
Schriver told police the toddler had been missing for 10 minutes, but investigators determined it was more than 20 minutes. They turned the child over to Child Welfare Services and submitted a report to the Tuolumne County District Attorney's office for review. A charge of child endangerment could follow.

This lotion works great on my daughter's skin - we had to try several different kinds before finding one that helped with her eczema. She had it as a newborn and it has improved but still very red at times - this is the only thing that has worked. Every time I take her to the doctor, they comment on how soft her skin is... in fact almost everyone who touches her skin says that. I highly recommend it
My son has eczema and since I've been using this product he doesn't get those small (heat-like) bumps and he doesn't get the cuts and bruises from the constant scratching. He looks like a regular kid with smooth skin now. It works well with the Oilatum Soap (unscented).

Saints head coach Sean Payton takes a break from his visit to NFL Network to chat live with fans on NFL.com on Tuesday, July 13 at 6:30 p.m. EST.
Sean Payton, New Orleans Saints
Hi everyone. Fire away! -
Jason, Canada
Hi Mr. Payton. I've finished my short high school football playing career, I have a new desire to coach. Any tips you can give to help me out on how to prepare myself and motivate players? Thanks.Sean Payton, New Orleans Saints
No. 1-- constantly look to improve your knowledge of the game. That can bring success of not only to your team but your entire staff. -
Dale, Mandeville, La
How many times have you slept with the Lombardi trophy?Sean Payton, New Orleans Saints
Just one night and it was only for about 3-4 hours. -
Brandon, Connecticut
How do you feel winning the Saints' first Superbowl win has influenced the city of New Orleans?Sean Payton, New Orleans Saints
I think that the city and the team have really motivated and inspired each other, but clearly, for a city that's waited 43 years, it's brought that long-anticipated excitement. -
Brett Favre , Canada
Do you think brett favre will come back for the upcoming season? and if so what do you think about the week 1 monday night game "rematch" against them?Sean Payton, New Orleans Saints
I do think he'll return. With the way he played last season and the success he and his team had, it's easy to understand a competitor like Favre would want to play another year. I think the game will be exciting -- two very good teams in the NFC will bring that kind of excitement. -
Joe , Los Angeles
Hello coach, Are there any rookies that you see being able to make an impact this year, possibly even as a starter? (When I say rookies I also include last years' who were injured)Sean Payton, New Orleans Saints
Every year in our league, the younger players play a bigger and bigger role each season. After our first rookie minicamp, I expect the same from our 2010 rookie class. -
Johnathon Sylve, Tyler, TX
Coach, if you could choose one guy from your offensive line to be your personal bodyguard, who and why?Sean Payton, New Orleans Saints
Jahri Evans. He's extremely reliable, and he's big. -
Nick, Cleveland
You rock that visor every game so I gotta know, would you ever take the field with out it?Sean Payton, New Orleans Saints
Occasionaly with warm weather, I'll wear a hat. But I'm more comfortable with the visor. -
Jordan , Baton Rouge
Hey coach, just wondering if you were going to focus on having a more dominant running game this season?Sean Payton, New Orleans Saints
It was something that we paid close attention to going into last season. We finished sixth in the NFL in rushing offense and our goal is to continue that point of emphasis to give us the balance we want. -
Lance, Las Vegas
First I'd like to say thank you for what you did with this Saints team and I read your book 'Home Team' and I couldn't put it down, it was a GREAT read.Sean Payton, New Orleans Saints
Lance -- Great to hear you enjoyed the book Home Team. We set out with this project to provide the fans with something entertaining and insightful. -
David, New Orleans
How much do you and Gregg Williams compare notes and game plan together? Do you point out weaknesses or strengths you see on the other side of the ball?Sean Payton, New Orleans Saints
David-- Good question. I think most coaching staffs in the NFL spend a lot of time discussing various strategies during the week leading up to a specific game. -
Thanks for all the questions everyone and thanks to coach Payton for taking time out to chat with fans!

I think it's just the journalists taking his quote out of context. The story is linked to the 2000 bikes which will be for hire next year and how the speed limits will be changed to help encourage people to use those bikes.
My guess is he answered the question with much more than we've been shown. Perhaps he said something like "The reduced speed limits will help encourage people to ride, but they are still going to have to take responsibility for their own actions in this streetscape. Some drivers may need time to comprehend the new speed limits. Until then, the riders would be wise to keep their wits about them." Maybe I'm just being too accommodating though.

WELL would that be such a bad thing. I wish the cops would book more cyclists for running red lights.
We have been calling for a 40kmph limit for years. Just as long as it is enforced on both cyclists, motorists and Buses. Donald BCC give us some more bikeways fore safe travel!!!!
Upgrade the NCL now QR!!!!!! http://nakedcyclistbrissy.blogspot.com/ My views do not represent any organisation I may be apart of unless otherwise stated
yeah - but it just seems like the RACQ is going "cyclists: it's your fault we drivers have to slow down." whereas it's more likely that pedestrian collisions have more to do with the 40km/hr policy change.
i realise the RACQ could have been asked about the bike loan scheme.... but they are a car lobby group and they have their agenda which i am sure you are familiar with
Isn't the city already a 50 zone? If that's so, and people are still doing 60, what makes them think that changing it to 40 will make a difference?
On the other hand, if it's not already a 50 zone.. just ignore everything I just said Max
Well someone's in the shite then. The headline reads "RACQ backs 40kmh CBD speed limit" Are you sure you're not jumping at shadows here? I'm not over there so I don't know the politics, but reading the story on face value and allowing for incompetent journalism/editorialising, it looks like the RACQ are happy to reduce car traffic in the CBD. Cheers, Graeme Think outside the double triangle.

Well i know when i drive, i usually sit about 8-10km's over the speed limit (not in the city) and thats usually because im just sitting behind the guy infront of me and thats what he is doing. But when it exceeds the 10km/h over I dont go anymore.
there's a bunch of traffic related stuff happenin in the CBD atm. so yeah - you are a bit out of the loop. there's an intersection on Queen st - the very centre of our CBD - that has a terrible ped fatality rate. so the council has decided to close traffic off in that section... so in that context i think the RACQ are reacting as well. plus car lobby groups like perpetuating the myth that cycling is dangerous cause they would prefer bikes not be on roads
I've tried very hard not to knee-jerk react to this, but I just can't stop myself. The tried and true: So if the motorist in front of you jumped off a cliff, would you do that too? Alternatively, if the motorist in front of you clipped a cyclist with his side mirror, would you do that too? The pretty obvious: You do realise you are part of the motoring community that makes the road unsafe for cyclists (a group you're also a part of), right? And for everyone else too? The duhhhh: Why not over 10Kph? In for a penny, in for a pound? Why not 15? 20? 50? What's stopping you? Is it because you know it's against the law and likely to get you a bigger fine, should you actually be caught? Is it because there's a tiny little part of you that realises you're being unsafe? Max
You realise you can get fined at 10% over right? Rarely under that, but You should not be thinking of this as the real speed limit. Personally I sit on the limit. It's very occasional if I ever go over, and this is usually by accident that I would. This is because I am not really in a hurry to get anywhere. I think everyone needs to ask themselves Why the Rush?? Why are we all in so much of a hurry in our cars? Too many people die on the roads as it is let alone me making it more dangerous for other cars and much more dangerous for cyclists. Failure is just another boundary to success.....but that doesn't mean your getting somewhere
Deks i have ask this very simple question with you doing over the speed limit cos the guy in front is.
"WHOS THE BIGGER FOOL? THE FOOL OR THE ONE FOLLOWING THE FOOL?" Donald BCC give us some more bikeways fore safe travel!!!!

Toronto City News Reports the 8 ways Canada is taking over Hollywood
The news David Cronenberg's latest film "Cosmopolis", starring Robert Pattinson, is being shot on the streets of Toronto, when based on a very New York novel about a billionaire riding his limo around the streets of Manhattan, got us wondering – where else does Canadian content (Can-con) unexpectedly pop up?
Even if "Twilight" fans/Robert Pattinson gawkers have figured out the "Twilight" series is shot in Vancouver, the natives of the city can really see Stanley Park standing in for the forests where Bella and her vampire friends hang and spot the city scenes featuring the yuppie area colloquially known to Vangroovey's as "Kits".

The original James Bond Rolex: The Ian Fleming Explorer 1016
The February 2009 issue of WatchTime magazine ran a feature article I'd written on my discovery of the original, literary James Bond watch: The personal Rolex 1016 Explorer worn by Ian Fleming and referenced by him in his novel, On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
My personal Rolex 1016 Explorer, dated to the fourth-quarter of 1960, and produced just before the Fleming-Bond watch: Original dial intact, three first editions of On Her Majesty's Secret Service shown in the background. A lot of intelligent discussion followed here with the great folks on the Rolex Forums, and there've been a number of requests for permission to Post it here permanently. I've retained all copyrights (the deal with WatchTime was for a one-time use), and I decided early on to limit Internet publication beyond that to just one place for the James Bond community and one for the watch folks. TRF was my choice for the latter, figuring you all would best contribute even further to the discussion. As you read along here, I've set up the individual pages so that you can click on them and see the full scan at a readable size for review, if you're interested in doing so. So, with that, here we go-- Found: James Bond's Rolex James Bond, like his creator Ian Fleming, wore a Rolex Explorer I by Dell Deaton, www.jamesbondwatches.com Did Ian Fleming, the creator of James Bond, have a particular wristwatch in mind when writing the original 007 stories? Could it be that Fleming himself wore the first James Bond timepiece? Only one brand is specifically named as that secret agents watch in Flemings original 14 Bond editions: Rolex. The greatest detail comes in his eleventh book, On Her Majestys Secret Service, published in 1963. Here we read of the big luminous numerals that Bond sees when taking a lazy midnight glance at his chronometer, a heavy Rolex Oyster Perpetual on an expanding metal bracelet. The watch is a Rolex Explorer I. And not just any Rolex Explorer I. My research convinces me that it was Flemings own stainless-steel wristwatch, model 1016 with a black dial on a 7206 bracelet, case number 596851. Flemings stepdaughter, Fionn Morgan, believes it is the first and only Rolex he ever owned. After her stepfather passed away on August 12, 1964, the watch was locked in a bank vault. There it stayed until the death of her mother his widow, Ann in 1981. That was when, following almost 20 years in isolation, it once again saw the light of day. Spookily, it was still going, Morgan said to me last May, recalling the day she first picked it up. I am told that this happens with Oyster Perpetuals; your hand sets them off. To her the watch was intensely personal, a family heirloom left by a man she loved as if her own blood-relation father. So she did what many of us would do. She gave it to her son-in-law, to wear daily as a touchstone with her past. Thats how it went until preparations began for the Ian Fleming Centenary, a year-plus celebration associated with the authors 100th birthday on May 28, 2008. In particular, Britains Imperial War Museum (IWM) was planning a special 45-week exhibition titled, For Your Eyes Only: Ian Fleming and James Bond. Mary Gibson, Fionn Morgans daughter, loaned for show the Ian Fleming watch that her husband had been wearing. Along with other Fleming artifacts and props from James Bond movies, the watch is on display at the museum in London until March 1, 2009. The IWM exhibit asks a question often debated by Fleming biographers: How much of James Bond was Ian Fleming? Evidence abounds that Fleming steeped this fictional spy with his most personal tastes and habits. The 007 clothing choices, hatred of tea, and number of cigarettes smoked in a day all parallel aspects of Flemings own life. Product placements abound in his books. Familiar brands hook us to Bonds world through the reality of what we already know and accept. Bonds creator was thoughtful in the use of these. Thus there are obvious distinctions between references made to things he had simply researched to fill in gaps, and those he experienced personally. In total, there are approximately 100 references to James Bond wearing a watch in the Fleming novels and short-story collections published between 1953 and 1966 (the last two were posthumous). Two-thirds of these tell readers nothing more than the time of day. This is particularly true in earlier novels such as Moonraker, Diamonds Are Forever, and Goldfinger, where Agent 007 mostly just looks or glances at his watch, on average nine to 10 times per story. Function and design details come slowly. We hear Bonds watch tick for the first time in 1955. In 1957, we are told that, although he otherwise sleeps naked, Bond wears a watch to bed. Fleming used the word glass when referring to its crystal in From Russia, with Love. For Doctor No a dial is not just luminous, but blazingly so! In 1960, 007s eyes follow the gleaming minute-hand creeping past its time markers. The Ian Fleming thrillers feature multiple James Bond watches. Bond loses his watch during the Casino Royale torture, has another watch shot apart on his wrist in From Russia, with Love, destroys a Rolex while using it as a knuckle-duster in On Her Majestys Secret Service, and is unlikely to have returned for whatever timepiece he left behind when Tiger Tanaka gives him a cheap Japanese wristwatch for his final pursuit of recurring arch-villain Blofeld in You Only Live Twice. Fleming, too, had many watches. Photographs from the 1950s show him variously wearing a half-dozen-or-so nondescript wristwatches, mostly on straps. None stands out. This parallels the attitude of his character through the period as well. I dont suggest that Fleming treated his own watches as disposable (as his alter-ego certainly does). But Fleming heirs told me last summer that his Explorer I is the only wristwatch known to have survived him. Some Bond aficionados insist that Rolex is established as the definitive James Bond watch in Live and Let Die (1954). I dont think so. When Fleming settled on a brand, he tended to either repeat it or clearly label its replacement. We dont simply read about locks, we read about Yale locks, again and again, in multiple novels. James Bond drives a Bentley or an Aston Martin or a Thunderbird, a specific car, as opposed to any car we might imagine. Thats not the case with the 1954 Rolex. After Live and Let Die, almost a decade passed before Fleming gave Bond another Rolex. In the meantime, Fleming hadnt forgotten the brand, since a solid gold Rolex Oyster Perpetual Chronometer on a flexible gold bracelet features prominently as a bad guys watch seven novels later, in Thunderball. (This Rolex becomes a James Bond watch of sorts, since Agent 007 puts it on his own wrist after removing it from the villains dead body.) Secondly, the Live and Let Die Rolex is a divers watch; hardly what men wore daily in the 1950s.We know how Bonds watch had to perform here, because he looked at the Rolex on his wrist while underwater. He was at the close of a 300-yard dive in Jamaican waters, on a well-prepared mission to place mines on a smuggling vessel, moored at an anchorage of about 30 feet. His agency quartermaster, Q Branch, has supplied him with a wetsuit and other special-purpose equipment for the assignment. Its likely that Q had provided this particular watch as well, and that Bond did not choose the Live and Let Die Rolex for himself. (Years later, in On Her Majestys Secret Service, we learn that Q Branch actually keeps an off-the-shelf inventory of Rolex wristwatches, or at least came to do so by 1963.) For Live and Let Die, I think the plot simply called for 007 to check his watch in mid-swim in order to build tension at a key point in the exposition. As a diver himself, Fleming knew that a typical wristwatch was unsuitable; he needed to cite a specific brand to make that awareness clear. Being an accomplished journalist, he would have researched options. Finally, the lack of any further specifics on this Rolex, and no reference whatsoever to the brand in his next eight books, classify it as a watch Fleming researched rather than experienced. Most likely, he chose Rolex because of its advertising, which emphasized waterproof case integrity. This is more than speculation. In a letter he wrote four years after completing his Live and Let Die manuscript, Fleming made it clear that Rolex was not at that time James Bonds choice for a timekeeper. This came in response to written criticism from an astute reader. Following are excerpts from each side of their correspondence, provided tome last summer by Flemings stepdaughter. On April 25, 1958, a reader complained about the performance of Agent 007s watch in Doctor No. Specifically, Bond glanced at his watch. It had stopped at three oclock. Stopped! This sentence made the reader extremely surprised and perturbed. He considered it a very serious matter which should at once be drawn to the attention of M [Bonds bosss codename], suggesting this field failure be made the subject of an Official Inquiry. The reader proposed a solution. In the future, Bond should be issued a Rolex Oyster Perpetual, which is completely waterproof and does not require winding, and, if anything, keeps even better time after immersion. Fleming acknowledged the complaint and made his reply. I have discussed this with [James Bond] and he points out that the Rolex Perpetual weighs about six ounces and would appreciably slow up the use of his left hand in combat. Then, this: His practice, in fact, is to use fairly cheap, expendable wrist watches on expanding metal bracelets which can be slipped forward over the thumb and used in the form of a knuckle-duster, either on the outside or the inside of the hand. If Bonds personal watch was cheap and expendable up until 1958, it was never a Rolex. No particular Oyster Perpetual model was cited in either letter. Fleming simply repeated the Rolex Oyster Perpetual reference in the readers letter. He did, however, come up with a weight for the watch and considered its feel. But this event did not yet set the wheels in motion for his own purchase of the Explorer I. If the 007 watch had moved from a researched to an experienced item, wed see a change in his writing. The next three books (written after the exchange of letters) feature just over a dozen notations on the watch Bond is wearing. All remain true to form, never going beyond a gleaming minute-hand or a luminous dial notation. Everything changes with On Her Majestys Secret Service, written in 1962. Thirteen percent of all James Bond watch references are in this one novel, more than in any other Fleming thriller. He cited the Rolex brand in seven places. As Bond expert and author Kingsley Amis generally observed, Fleming wrote with an energy that shows [when] hes dealing with something personally important to him. What was that? Im convinced that it was the deal struck with Eon Productions in 1961 to make five James Bond movies. The first, Dr. No, began filming in Jamaica during the early months of 1962 the same time Ian Fleming was there, writing On Her Majestys Secret Service. We know that cross-pollination resulted, because the virtually unknown actress who played the female lead in Dr. No is referred to as Ursula Andress, the film star in the novel On Her Majestys Secret Service. Sean Connery, as Bond in Dr. No, wore a Submariner. Whoever made that happen, the only Fleming book then existing to specify a Rolex was Live and Let Die. Its hard to imagine that Ian Fleming would have let the last detail of Bonds Rolex model be determined by someone else. Neither would he have forgotten the 1958 letter that first recommended Rolex to him. As 007 followers know, it was another readers letter, from gun expert Geoffrey Boothroyd, which persuaded Fleming to have James Bond give up his signature Beretta pistol in favor of a Walther PPK. By 1962 when filming began on Dr. No, Ian Fleming was becoming an icon in his own right through his books, increasing public attention (good and bad), and sophisticated self-promotion. At the same time, James Bond was taking on a life of his own, beyond the control of his creator. All of this affected Fleming. Lines were blurring as he sought to identify himself more closely with his character, to live as 007 would live, to play the part. Biographers have written about this. His wife, Ann, noted that no one had grasped the extent of Ians desire to be his alter ego. Ian Fleming acquired his Rolex Explorer I sometime between the summer of 1961 and spring of 1962. Its this chronometer that changed his writing about Rolex and James Bond from researched to experienced. In contrast to the sunny beaches where movie work was underway in Jamaica, the main action of On Her Majestys Secret Service takes place on a snow-covered mountain. If you were going to pick a watch for such an adventure, what better choice than a Rolex Explorer, the watch that had famously conquered Mount Everest in 1953? Bonds watch is described as having numerals, as opposed to undefined markers. Flemings own Explorer I had luminous 3-, 6-, and 9-oclock indicators. Bond surveyed his weapons. They were only his hands and feet, his Gillette razor and his wristwatch, a heavy Rolex Oyster Perpetual on an expanding metal bracelet. Used properly, these could be turned into most effective knuckle-dusters. But this doesnt mean the expanding-link option offered by Rolex at that time. Fleming had established in Thunderball that flexible was a bracelet with springs in its links. Flemings personal Explorer is fitted with the original 7206 bracelet; it has fixed links and a deployant clasp. Laymen describe this as expanding to open. Finally, Fleming specifies the 007 watch as new in Chapter 23. The Fleming Rolex case number 596851 suggests it, too, would have been a relatively new model 1016 that the author was wearing as he wrote this novel. For the publication of On Her Majestys Secret Service, Fleming commissioned an oil portrait of himself, painted in 1962 by longtime friend Charles Amherst Villiers. It appears as a frontispiece in a special edition of 250 numbered copies of the book. I confirmed last summer that it captures Ian Fleming wearing his Explorer I, its dial reading 12:05. So why stop at calling it a Rolex Oyster Perpetual in the novel when the name Explorer was so evident on the face of Flemings own watch the watch he used as referent while typing? Why not note the material as stainless steel, indulging his penchant for adding detail after detail? Of all Rolex models at the time, this one was identified with unwavering performance under the harshest conditions, an ideal watch to advance his characterization of James Bond. Why didnt he identify it as an Explorer? Because he wanted to give a wink and a nod to that reader whod first recommended Rolex to him almost four years earlier. I think that was more important to Fleming. In this case, going no further than calling the watch a Rolex Oyster Perpetual was, in fact, quite specific to him, more personal. His 1958 letter became notes for his 1963 novel (he hated to waste good material): On page 177 we see, the Rolex transferred to [Bonds] right, the bracelet clasped in the palm of his hand and round the fingers so that the face of the watch lay across his middle knuckles. Unlike the Live and Let Die watch, there is no question that this piece is James Bonds choice. He is concerned about its out-of-pocket cost. During the debriefing with M, in Chapter 20 of On Her Majestys Secret Service, Bond lifted his left wrist to check the time. Remembered that he no longer had a watch. That would certainly be allowed on expenses. He would get another one as soon as the shops opened after Boxing Day. Another Rolex? Probably. They were on the heavy side, but they worked. And at least you could see the time in the dark with those big phosphorous numerals. We see Flemings Explorer I on Bond for the last time (ever) on page 241, when 007 glanced at the new Rolex on his wrist. Yet we still learn something: James Bond may continue wearing a watch after it becomes old, as his friend Felix Leiter once observed; but when its time for replacement, he chooses new. This first specific wristwatch chosen for Bond not only remains in current production as the model 114270, but its overall appearance remains true to the 1016 that Ian Fleming put on James Bonds wrist in 1962. So what would it really mean to go back to the original Fleming and put Bond in an 114270 for 2009? I think it would symbolize a more discreet operative, more subtly able to transition from casino to combat every bit as tough, but without advertising his Navy service with a watch that sticks out from his shirt cuff. Just prior to display of Flemings Rolex Explorer I at the Imperial War Museum, it was virtually all-original. On February 13, 2008, a Rolex service center had its first opportunity to make an assessment. The movement had rust and had been damaged by water contamination. Its bezel, and caseback were scratched, its 5- and 11-oclock lugs were marked. The crown was broken at the stem. The bracelet was strained, clasp cracking at pin of blades. I was told before the museum opening that someone raised concerns about protecting visitors from the radioactive material used to make its now-half-century-old dial luminescent. Stanchions and ropes were discussed as a way to keep the public at a safe distance. In the end, it was decided to replace the original dial that had illuminated so much of one great James Bond story. Still, this chronometer continues to serve as a tangible reminder that there is no James Bond without Ian Fleming. In this most personal way, James Bond was Ian Fleming. And his watch, the Rolex Explorer I, is the first, authentic James Bond watch. # # # The article closed with my name and reference to my other James Bond watches research. It also noted the upcoming "Bond Watches, James Bond Watches" exhibit at the National Watch & Clock Museum, June 18, 2010, through April 30, 2011. More information on all that is on my website. And I surely hope to see a lot of my TRF friends there over its year-long run! |

"How I Found the Original James Bond Rolex"
Four months after the WatchTime article, the NAWCC BULLETIN (Journal of the National Association of Watch & Clock Collectors) published a follow-up piece I'd written on the Ian Fleming / literary James Bond Rolex 1016 Explorer.
Picking up where the WatchTime article left off, this one deals with some behind-the-scenes aspects of my research. It also bridges the gap to the film and directly deals with the issue of the Rolex Submariner as a James Bond watch and Ian Fleming's views in that regard. The literary, or original, watch of personal choice for the James Bond character is a Rolex 1016 Explorer. Details related to my making this first definitive identification were published in the February 2009 issue of WatchTime magazine. So this is not an article about what Agent 007 wore, but, rather, its a piece more functionally relevant to BULLETIN readers: How was it found? Yes, Rolex is the only James Bond watch specifically named by creator Ian Fleming. But watch collectors who read Flemings books after hearing about the James Bond Rolex are often surprised at how little attention the brand is actually given in those pages. In fact, Rolex is ascribed to Bond in only two novels. It appears one time during the plot of Live and Let Die (1954). Nine years later, Rolex is mentioned an unprecedented seven times as Bonds own purchase in On Her Majestys Secret Service (1963). Although James Bond is a fictional figure, Ian Fleming invariably looked to reality for details. He gave a trade name for 007s shirts. Aston Martin is an actual car. Authentic brand references helped him sweep readers along through fantastic situations by hooking them to the real world with citations his audience was likely to know through advertising. For me, Bond serves as a creative theme for the watches I collect; the literary James Bond watch is where I start. Dating Watches through Flemings Writing Routine Ian Fleming wrote his James Bond stories between January 1952 and August 1964, following a strict, selfimposed cycle to produce one book per year, resulting in a total of 14. With his second novel, Live and Let Die, he established a routine that all but the last two books would follow to publication. His preliminary research and notes organization began some 18 months out. Individual manuscripts were then written, start-to-finish, during the initial two months of the year prior to publication. Over the course of the next 12 months, those complete drafts were revised, fact-checked, and edited to final form. Understanding this history is critical in accurately dating references to physical wristwatches. So the sequencing above, for example, at least initially suggested to me that the Bond Rolex in Live and Let Die would have had to be based on something from the fourth quarter of 1952. This is consistent with my review of the typed Live and Let Die manuscript archived in the Lilly Library on the campus of Indiana University at Bloomington. The word Rolex in Flemings own bound edition there appears on page 111. The larger context of the Live and Let Die plot makes that watch mission-specific. In other words, Fleming didnt intend to define Bonds personal watch choice, but, rather, deliberately used the Rolex name to validate a tool watch among a larger inventory of diving gear and weaponry he described as having been received by 007 from his quartermaster (Q-Branch) in London. Rolex merely enhances plot credibility, in this case, giving his protagonist the ability to check the time while submerged. Its on par with Champion, maker of the Live and Let Die harpoon gun, also sourced from Q-Branch. In an earlier chapter that describes preparations for the dive, Jacques Cousteau is named more than once as a source from which Bond was learning through books hed borrowed. This mirrors Flemings own real-life research technique. He had just struck up a friendship with Cousteau at that time and even visited with him during his work surrounding discovery of the 2,200-year-old Marcus Sestius wine ship off the Bay of Marseilles. All the evidence Ive seen points to a high likelihood that Captain Cousteau provided quite a bit of technical detail, if not motivation, for sequences related to Bonds climactic 300-yard swim in Live and Let Die. Exciting as this association may be, however, I would not connect it to a specific watch nor to any particular Rolex model. Ian Fleming thought no more of that Rolex than as an efficient shorthand to substantiate a wristwatch that could perform as required on a commando mission to mine an enemy ship, moored at an anchorage of about 30 feet. His writing shows not the slightest trace of his otherwise characteristic attention to detail when describing physical pieces hed seen (e.g., Where is the dial luminescence and rotating bezel obvious and extremely relevant, if these had been features of a developmental Submariner that had served as its basis?). Responsible research requires that I draw this line as well. Editors at WatchTime felt the same way, deleting a discussion of Jacques Cousteau from the earliest draft of my feature article. Further reason to avoid overreaching here comes from evidence of just how effective Fleming otherwise could be in using horology as a means of carefully defining characters and enriching plotlines. His first novel, Casino Royale (1953), features a shadowy Swiss figure who is a traveller in watches. Flemings first script treatment (1959) for a proposed 007 motion picture provides the heroine with a cover story of working for customs in search of stolen Swiss watches. He gave other high-profile characters important timepieces by Patek Philippe in 1955, Cartier in 1956, and Girard-Perregaux in 1957. One story published in 1961 even used a radium-painted watch dial to test a geiger counter. Photos from the 1950s clearly show that Fleming wore a variety of different watches into his Bond era. These were alternatively on bracelets and straps. He seemed to favor lower-profile cases and dark dials, simply decorated, with no complications of any sort. So I concluded many years ago that it was not due to oversight, nor for any lack of interest or knowledge that Ian Fleming had chosen to be so oblique in defining the James Bond watch. Nor was it out of any reluctance to get into the particulars of Bonds individual tastes, since Fleming otherwise routinely explored the minutiae of Agent 007s preferences in food and women. Naming James Bond watch brands throughout the series would have perfectly, intimately served Fleming, then. But thats not what he did. Why not? Because, purposefully, Bonds watch needed to be a commodity due to the nature of his work. This is confirmed by the copy of a letter provided to me by Lucy Fleming, the authors niece. In correspondence dated June 5, 1958, Ian Fleming responded to a fan by the name of B. W. Goodden, stating that the practice of James Bond, in fact, is to use fairly cheap, expendable wrist watches on expanding metal bracelets . Thus, not only is the reference to Rolex in Live and Let Die an anomaly, but, as I wrote above, it is an exception that had to be allowed to credibly have a wristwatch available to function underwater. Otherwise, it was Flemings clear intent for all James Bond watch choices to be generics, through Goldfinger (1959). In no case before 1961 was there an actual watch he referenced from the real world. So long as watches meet the criteria of cheap and expendable, worn on expanding metal bracelets, any number of timekeepers fit the bill as James Bond watches in books one through ten. And this is how the earliest James Bond watch was presented on the wrist of an actor. See Barry Nelson in the Chrysler Climax Mystery Theater version of Casino Royale for CBS television, October 21, 1954. That show aired less than six months after the May 5 publication of Live and Let Die. Literary-Bond versus Movie-Bond Things were different when EON Productions began shooting scenes on location for its first James Bond film, Dr. No, on January 16, 1962. Harry Saltzman and Albert R. Cubby Broccoli were the producers; Terence Young directed. Actor Sean Connery was James Bond. His movie-Bond was wearing a Rolex Submariner when Ian Fleming famously visited those sets and interacted with the cast that January. For decades, many have cited this to justify arguments favoring a Sub model as the original James Bond watch: Fleming was there. He wouldnt have missed noting the details of the watch Connery was wearing in character. Flemings style and number of references vis-à-vis the literary-Bond watch significantly changed in On Her Majestys Secret Service unquestionably written after having seen the movie-Bond watch. A close read actually shows that Ian Fleming resoundingly rejected the Sean Connery Rolex when giving specifics for his own literary-Bond in On Her Majestys Secret Service. For that book, he gave Agent 007 the same metal bracelet discussed in his B. W. Goodden letter; in the Connery film, the watch is obviously worn on a dark, textured strap with a buckle. The Submariner in Dr. No has only markers, not numbers, like the Rolex in Chapter 14 of On Her Majestys Secret Service. Much later in 1962, Playboy magazine asked Fleming for a description of James Bond, and he responded on December 11. This letter is quite consistent with his then-unpublished manuscript of On Her Majestys Secret Service and strikingly dissimilar to Connerys Bond. Fleming favored for Bond his own, personal traits of blue-grey eyes and short-sleeved shirts (even with a suit). He also wrote: Wears Rolex Oyster Perpetual watch. However, theres no evidence that this might somehow have been a personal rejection of Connery, himself, in the role of Bond. In fact, Flemings stepdaughter Fionn Morgan was present at one of the first meetings between the Bond-creator and Bond-actor; she remembers an immediate acceptance and a good rapport. Nor was Ian Fleming adverse to having EON Productions influence his novel in progress. Note his mention in On Her Majestys Secret Service of the virtually unknown Ursula Andress, who played female lead in Dr. No. Fleming simply wanted to hold some elements of the literary Bonds choices to himself. This included giving 007 his Rolex Explorer. Among those less sure that a Submariner must have been the original intent of Fleming, there have been a variety of curious attempts to guess the true Rolex type. From a snapshot by Mary Slater to the professional session done by Harry Benson, period photographs have been examined in search of clues. An excellent history titled James Bond: The Man and His World, by Henry Chancellor, features one stock image of a Rolex Oyster Perpetual that caused some to erroneously claim Mystery Solved! in 2005. I have long been convinced that the answer was to find an actual Rolex, or perhaps a number of Rolex wristwatches, that were worn by Ian Fleming himself. My approach, then, had been to make direct inquiries over the years to the Ian Fleming Will Trust, biographers, and surviving contemporaries of Fleming. Initially, the clearest answers Id gotten were most discouraging: Very few personal effects of this nature survived the author. Ironically, it was a particular Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean that led me to identify the original James Bond Rolex of Flemings time. On March 8, 2006, amidst all sorts of secrecy surrounding the newly cast Daniel Craig, I became the first to identify the wristwatch hed wear as Agent 007 in the so-called franchise reboot, Casino Royale. Although Id been studying Bond watches since the 1970s, it was this Omega Planet Ocean that made my name synonymous with James Bond watches. Following the unprecedented public acclaim with which Casino Royale was received, attention slowly shifted to preparations for the Ian Fleming Centenary, timed to what would have been his 100th birthday, on May 28, 2008. As part of this, the Imperial War Museum in London was planning to open a special exhibit on April 17, 2008, titled, For Your Eyes Only: Ian Fleming and James Bond. Family members were approached for artifacts, and Fionn Morgan supplied items never before displayed in public: a pair of her stepfathers cuff links and his only surviving wristwatcha Rolex Explorer I (according to her clear recollection, the only Rolex hed ever owned). Thats where I came in. I specifically identified this illusive Oyster Perpetual for the first time in detail and provided historical context. To revisit and expand a bit on my WatchTime feature, the Ian Fleming Rolex is a model 1016 Explorer, case number 596851. It still has the factory-delivered 7206 riveted, hollow-link (nonexpanding) bracelet with the number 58 on its endpieces. The mechanism is a Rolex 1560 caliber. James Bonds Radioactive Watch Dial The original dial under the superdome crystal of this wristwatch is what fascinates me the most. It had indices painted with radium-226, no doubt providing the referent for Fleming when he wrote of Bonds watch on page 154 of On Her Majestys Secret Service, first edition: The big luminous numerals said midnight. Debate surrounding luminescent material containing a radioactive isotope of the element radium has received excellent technical coverage in previous BULLETIN issues. I wasnt in London when the Fleming watch decision was made, but Im told that concerns related to radium exposure came down to a decision that its dial be replaced prior to showing it at the Imperial War Museum. The photograph of the watch that appears on page 89 of the February 2009 WatchTime was taken after that change. So, in addition to being aged, the original dial would have only had the word SWISS below its 6 oclock position, as opposed to SWISS T < 25, as seen in WatchTime. It also had a minute-track insert. Finally, the word Rolex was in a slab serif typeface, and the crown logo had a more squared proportion than later versions of the 1016. Ive been able to access a similar Rolex Explorer with a 596,xxx serial number for comparison and analysis by the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. Its caseback markings date its production to the fourth quarter of 1960, placing itand the original Bond watch, with an identical casebacknicely into the retail window I wrote about in WatchTime. This virtually identical watch, which still has its original dial, will be on display at the 2009 NAWCC National Convention in Grand Rapids, MI. Manufacture date, markings, and other important Fleming-Bond watch configurations described in this BULLETIN article have been confirmed by Rolex UK. Last May 28 I was at the Lilly Library in conjunction with Ian Fleming Centenary commemorations. While there, I took time to pull from their archive an original On Her Majestys Secret Service uncorrected proof, which would have been printed shortly before that novel was first published on April 1, 1963almost six months after the October 5, 1962, premier of Dr. No starring Sean Connery. I found that Ian Fleming had not only continued to make changes to On Her Majestys Secret Service well into spring 1963, but among those hed made a key correction in reference to the James Bond watch. But there was no effort to reconcile a consistency with the movie-Bond wristwatch. The singular Oyster Perpetual wording in On Her Majestys Secret Service could have easily been changed to Submariner at that late date. It wasnt. This was a period of unique challenges for Ian Fleming, intimately, as the creative force behind 007. Litigation stemming from an earlier attempt at a movie deal sought to wrest credit from him for various successes of the James Bond icon. A massive heart attack in 1961 mandated radical changes to his active lifestyle. The Spy Who Loved Me (1962) was an experimental departure from the popular formula that Fleming had established for the book series, and it was resoundingly panned by critics. Then, with the Dr. No movie, the world of Tinsel Town got him caught up in a measure of playacting choreographed to blur the lines between his actual service with the Department of Naval Intelligence during World War II and the fictional exploits of his fantasy secret agent. In my WatchTime article, I wrote that it was hard to imagine that Ian Fleming would have let the last detail of Bonds Rolex model be determined by someone else. My research leads me to conclude that that someone was three-time 007 film director Terence Young. In an interview published in 1981, Young described the nature of his rivalry with Fleming at that time over how the James Bond character would be presented going forward. Im confident that the Bond creator held fast to key details of the character as reminders that it would always be Ian Flemings James Bond 007 (as, in fact, the lead to each new movie states even to this day). In You Only Live Twice (1964), Fleming made what I read as yet another insider passage for which he is famousthis time, to horologists. In defense of the post-World War II greatness of England, James Bond gives only one specific: we still climb Everest . Here again is implication of Ian Flemings propensity to keep almost any scrap of information he came across and to use it however he could in his stories. Period Rolex documents connected his Explorer to the climb he had Bond reference. I dont think that is coincidence. In my opinion, there is indeed one specific brand, model, and configuration for James Bonds first watch just one. Thats what Ive written about here. Its hardly a surprise to prove that Ian Fleming first wore the original James Bond watch (and I suspect that Sean Connery would be among those most happy to agree). But the question for this BULLETIN article was not Where? but, rather, How was it found? That answer required discussions with those who actually knew Ian Fleming, professional examination of his Rolex, physical contact with the authors own James Bond writings, and a geiger counter. Even then, my proposal draft to WatchTime was substantiated by some 168 footnotes before going forward a field assignment quite worthy of Agent 007 himself. This is how I found the original James Bond watch. # # #

Speaking of Rolex Forums--
Thanks for the great feedback and encouragement here, guys.
Again, one of the main reasons I chose to host these articles permanently on the Rolex Forums was due to my experience with you all through the many intelligent, thoughtful Threads that we've shared here. So, to sorta leverage that here, I took a quick trip down memory lane and am Posting LINKs to a few of them for review along with the articles themselves.
That reminds me: Is it possible to embed YouTube videos here? Last edited by delldeaton; 19 March 2010 at 12:08 AM.. Reason: adjusted URL on one of the links |

Images of Ian Fleming's James Bond Rolex
It's been a while since I've been able to make it back to TRF, and, of course, to this Thread. Thought you might be interested in a few things from the "Bond Watches, James Bond Watches" exhibit, which continues to run at the National Watch & Clock Museum through next April 30, 2011.
First, as I've shared with folks during the personal tours I periodically guide through the exhibit when I'm in town, I was the one who actually couriered the Ian Fleming watch from its top-secret family location to the Museum. That further gave me exclusive access to extensively photograph it. Here's one of those images. Second, not only are still and video photography prohibited in the exhibit, but it's further a rare occasion that the Fleming-Bond Rolex 1016 Explorer is actually shown ticking while on display. So far, it's only been exhibited in operation twice. The last time was in mid-September, during our special "Bond Enthusiasts Weekend," where I made the following video and posted it to the James Bond Watches YouTube Channel. "James Bond Watches: Alpha to Omega" Thanks for giving me the opportunity to post these updates.

"It just gets better and better"
I am thoroughly impressed with these works. I am generally hard to please, as a reader, as there are far too many wannabe authors in the world who think they are good writers. Jim Butcher is an excellent writer and a brilliant story teller. These books get better and better which each in the series. I literally could not put them down and listened to all of them back to back, every chance I had - and the finale is due out November of 2009.
Tavi, the protagonist, is a great "fool" who stumbles his way into a very archetypal hero's journey, and manages to arise victorious through cunning, wisdom and intelligence, not magical powers.
Is this a children's book/series? No way. Very graphic violence, and adult situations (not pornographic though).
"Extraordinary Tale as only Tolkein can contrive"
If you want the true experience of Tolkein's genius, you need to read the Silmarillion, not the Lord of the Rings. This is an expansion of one of the tales from the Silmarillion, which deals with the great tragedies of Middle Earth eons before LOTR, and the epic battles between the stranded races of Humans, Elves and Dwarves with Morgoth/Lucifer. If you love true literature, not just modern trash, then this will bring great joy. Those who found this book difficult, need to read the Silmarillion, as you cannot possibly understand what is happening in the "Children of Hurin" without it. Highly Recommended.

FRIDAY, June 29 (HealthDay News) -- The U.S. Supreme Court's long-awaited ruling Thursday upholding the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act means that changes to the American health care system will roll out largely as planned when the bill was signed into law two years ago, experts say.
"The opinion cleared the way for implementation to proceed," said Karen Pollitz, senior fellow with the Kaiser Family Foundation in Washington, D.C.
Perhaps the biggest impact of the law will be the decrease in the number of people who are uninsured or underinsured. The U.S. Congressional Budget Office estimates that the rolls of the uninsured will go down by 30 million to 33 million people by 2016, leaving 26 million or 27 million people uninsured, a 50 percent reduction.
The increase in the number of people covered by health insurance comes via several different provisions of the Affordable Care Act. The most contested and controversial of those provisions is the so-called individual mandate, which requires all adults to obtain health insurance or face a penalty.
Surprising some legal scholars, the Supreme Court upheld this part of the law, as a tax, and it will now go into effect in 2014.
That means the earliest the U.S. Internal Revenue Service could levy fines would be in 2015, said Linda Fentiman, James D. Hopkins Professor at Pace University Law School in White Plains, N.Y.
But in truth, 90 percent or more of Americans won't ever feel the pinch of the penalty either because they're already covered or they're exempt, Pollitz said.
The Supreme Court decision also means that other provisions in the law -- the most significant legislative achievement of President Barack Obama's administration -- will be allowed to remain in place.
For instance, young adults can still be covered under their parents' insurance plans.
