Are your vehicle's headlights starting to look cloudy? Are they turning a black, gray, or yellow color? Do you need to replace your vehicle's headlight lenses, but you're a little low on money?
If any of these questions apply to you, or if other issues apply to you that are causing you concern about the condition of your headlights, then Fast Bright is a headlight lens restoration kit you'll definitely want to learn more about!
Product Overview
Why would you need to replace your headlights? It's due to a naturally-occurring process that happens over a period of time called oxidation.
In short, air reacts with the sun and the chemistry of your car's headlights. All of these work together to cause discoloration and film. An article on the Delta Kits newsletter goes into detail about headlight oxidation, and more to the point, the dangers and the financial expense of headlight oxidation:
The majority of headlights manufactured today are made out of polycarbonate, very strong thermoplastic. Manufacturing polycarbonate headlights over traditional glass headlights has allowed car manufacturers to create headlights in all kinds of cool shapes and sizes, but there is one drawback: oxidation.
Oxidation is one of the major causes of yellowing in headlights. Many factors can cause oxidation, including: excessive heat, pollution, harsh detergents, ultra violet exposure from the sun, chemicals, etc. Over time all polycarbonate headlights will become oxidized and need to be replaced or restored. Oxidation creates limited visibility for drivers and safety becomes an issue; this is where headlight restoration comes in.
Headlight restoration is a process used to remove oxidation from headlights and to preserve the lenses by re-applying a protective UV-resistant coating. There are many benefits to headlight restoration and in this article we will be listing a few of them.
First and foremost is the benefit of safety. Vehicles are made with headlights for a reason, and when visibility is limited it can be very dangerous for the operator of the vehicle, pedestrians, cyclists, and other drivers on the road. Headlight restoration makes the road safer for everyone.
As you can imagine, oxidation on your headlights is a serious issue that not only places you (and everyone riding inside of your vehicle) at risk, it also places innocent people outside your vehicle at risk, too. However, you might not be able to afford to replace your headlights, and now, you won't have to.
You can easily restore the appearance and the safety features of your headlights by regularly applying a product such as Fast Bright.
The purpose of Fast Bright lens restoration system is simple: The system will allow you to restore the look of your headlight lenses while restoring your headlight's safety features. You won't have to worry about getting in trouble with the law simply because your headlights appeared to be too dim.
You won't have to worry about accidentally running into objects, animals, or people, simply because your line of vision was obstructed by too little light shining out of your headlights, either.
Fast Bright comes in a kit with the following weight: 1 Fast Brite™ Lens Polish 2oz. Bottle, 1 Fast Brite™ Lens Protectant 2oz. Bottle, along with 1 Application Sponge
How To Use
The Fast Bright kit will come with specific instructions included, but in general, you'll apply the lotion to the sponge that's included in the kit. Then, you'll apply the lotions, and follow the instructions regarding the amount of time you should allow the product to set into your headlight lens.
When it's time for you to remove the product, you should notice that your headlights look just as good as they did when you first purchased your vehicle!
Additional Supplies Needed
You might want to purchase a bucket to contain water if you don't already own a bucket for washing your car. It's probably a good idea to have a garden hose on hand, too. Other than these, you're all set, as long as you follow instructions.
If you know that you live in a region where the oxidation of your lenses will continue to be a problem, then it's probably a good idea for you to purchase multiple lens cleaning kits.
Who Needs Fast Bright
Fast Bright is the product you've been waiting to get your hands on if:
- You've been avoiding replacing your headlight lenses
- You want a more cost-efficient method of dealing with your car's headlight lenses
- You've been pulled over by the cops because your headlights shine dangerously low
- You've avoided running into an object you weren't able to see
- You've hit an animal in the middle of the road at night because you couldn't see it
- You fear for the safety of passengers inside your car, other drivers on the road, and pedestrians
How Is This Product Different
Fast Bright is different from other types of lens restoration kits in a variety of ways. First, it's very simple to apply. Just follow the instructions. The kit comes with two small bottles of formula, and a sponge. If you can read and apply potion to a sponge, then you're all set!
Second, Fast Bright saves you time and money. While replacing your headlight lenses isn't the most expensive purchase you'll make for your vehicle, it still costs less to simply by an effective formula that will allow you restore the look and the safety of the lenses you already own…time and time again!
Finally, you'll feel good knowing that you can drive safer at night, especially during those times of year when the sun sets earlier in the day.
You'll receive a Fast Bright kit containing two bottles of formula plus a sponge for only $10.00, plus $7.95 processing and handling fee. Right now, if you buy one Fast Bright lens restoration kit, then you can receive the second full kit for free! You'll just pay an additional $7.95 processing and handling fee.

I learned something new last week. I didn't realize all 1024MB video cards aren't created equally. Apparently some of them have multiple GPU sockets and that has some interesting implications when using them for gaming and what the operating system sees for general purpose applications.
This all started a month or two ago when we were creating some configurations for video editing workstations. I asked Chris Henley what he wanted and one of the things he suggested was a 1024MB video card. Since we were building out the quote for a Dell XPS 420 and that was one of the options on the public ordering site, I added a 1024MB video card to the quote request. We also added some other goodies to the quote and basically configured a nicely decked out machine.
The Dell XPS 420's we ordered and received included the Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300, Dell 27" flat panel LCD, ATI Radeon 3870X2 1024MB GDDR3 video card, Blu-ray, fat hard drive, etc. In short, a really nice video editing workstation. The main purpose of the machine is to slice through video edits like a hot knife through butter. The Dell XPS 420's we received accomplish that as expected and we don't have to worry about turning a laptop into a block of molten lava.
However, upon close inspection it appeared we didn't receive the 1024MB card we received. Here's one of the screenshots from Windows Vista Ultimate x64:
Huh? Where's the other 512MB? I thought we actually received the wrong video card. Seems plausible. There were only two clues in the UI of the OS or installed applications that tip you off on what is really going on. In Device Manager, there are two video cards displayed. What? How is that possible?
The second clue is in the ATI Catalyst Control Center (CCC). By the way, you have to get the updated drivers from the ati.amd.com website for this card to work correctly with Windows Vista x64. The drivers at the Dell site would not install. When you look at the card in CCC, you'll see a "Primary Adaptor" and a "Linked Adaptor".
So what is really going on?
The answer is clearly shown in the picture at the top of the blog post. If you look closely you'll see that the card has two GPU sockets and chips. It is effectively two cards on the same PCB. Each GPU has 512MB of dedicated memory. So technically it's the correct card and it has 1024MB of memory, but how much do you think is being used by Windows Vista? Unfortunately only 512MB unless you are running a game that understands the ATI API and will use both GPUs and their memory at the same time.
You wouldn't know any of this unless you are a gamer I guess. There is no mention of it on the Dell buying site and I certainly didn't take the time to fully research the video card before we bought the configuration that arrived. Since we aren't using the machines for gaming (at least I am not), we are trying to determine what to do. I'm inclined to return the card for a credit and look for a more suitable card for our needs. I was thinking the Sapphire card at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102761 would be a candidate. Anyone have an opinion on the build quality of Sapphire cards? I've been using NVIDIA chipset's and BFG Tech video cards for years and have had very good luck with them.
Any other suggestions? Have a 1024MB card with a single GPU that works well with Windows Vista x64 and has a reasonable price? Let me know.
Oh, one other thing. I forgot to mention in the picture of the card at top you'll see a bit of engineering I really like. Notice Dell has added a black piece of plastic to the card that extends it. This allows the end of the card to slide into a slot in the XPS 420 and it really stabilizes the card very effectively. A simple bit of engineering that produces a great result. That should be a standard in the industry.

Our snorkel trips by boat allow you to explore some of the more remote areas around Culebra (e.g. Carlos Rosario or Luis Pena Island which is not accessible by land).

Required Forms: Each participant must have a completed liability form.
Culebra Divers requires that all participants be able to swim comfortably without any assistance to participate in our boat tours. We are sorry but we do not give swimming lessons.

'She was a kind, beautiful person who had so much more life to live, a piece of my heart left with her'
Hillsborough mum Judith Gillanders' cancer was too aggressive to be treated successfully but her family are fundraising in her memory to support research and find more effective ways to tackle the disease. Marie Foy talks to her mum
Judith Gillanders was the centre of her family's world, and it was an unbelievable and devastating blow when she was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive cancer when she was just 36.
In a few short months, the young Hillsborough mum rapidly faded from a beautiful, healthy woman as the cancer took hold and she died leaving her husband Ross and children George (7) and Ciara (5).
No less crushed were her loving parents Elizabeth and Roy Boreland and her brother, also called Ross.
To celebrate her life and mark her memory, the family is holding a one and a half mile sponsored Stroll in the Park at Hillsborough Forest Park on Saturday to raise funds for Cancer Focus Northern Ireland, for local cancer research.
The family held a similar event last year, raising an amazing £10,000 for the charity, which supports cancer patients and their families across Northern Ireland as well as funding research. Two years after Judith's death, the sadness still visibly wells in Elizabeth's eyes when she talks about her only daughter and how she was snatched from them at such a young age.
"We can't put into words how much we love and miss her. She was a beautiful, kind, intelligent, funny person who had so much more life to live and so much more to give the world. She was a wonderful woman all round and an excellent mother. A piece of my heart left with her," she says. "Judith spent time in the US and England after she married Ross in 2006. But wherever she lived, one of her great loves was to get involved with and support local charities."
While living in Long Island in the US, Judith cut her hair and donated it to Love Locks, an organisation that makes wigs for cancer patients who lose their hair during chemotherapy.
Fluent in Spanish and Portuguese, she also volunteered as a translator for a charity that provided free healthcare for Latino migrant workers and supported disadvantaged youngsters.
"Ross' job took the family to America and England and then back to Ireland in 2014. Judith and the children were staying with us while they prepared to move to Dublin and it was lovely having her home," Elizabeth says.
"She had been feeling unwell for some time, but put it down to tiredness, moving house and being a busy mum - Ciara was three and George was five at the time. She always looked after her health, ate properly and went on parkruns, so we didn't think it could be anything serious."
Before Christmas, Judith had abdominal pain, but a gall bladder scan showed nothing amiss. In mid-February 2014, she found a lump on her abdomen and saw a doctor.
She was referred for further investigations, but within a few days the pain had become so bad that she went straight to the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast. A scan revealed a large tumour - a rare abdominal cancer called mesenteric liposarcoma.
"It was a massive shock. We weren't expecting anything like that," Elizabeth admits.
Within a few days, Judith had surgery to remove the tumour. She was allowed home at the end of February and for a while improved well.
"She started to organise the family's move to Dublin and found new schools for the children, and I was there to help her," says her mum.
Though Judith's post-surgical tests results were clear, her oncologist said that the tumour had been a bad one, grade four, and they hadn't been able to clear a good margin of tissue around the area.
"Chemo doesn't work very well on this type of tumour, so it was decided to leave it and wait and see. We knew this was an aggressive cancer, but you hope for the best," Elizabeth adds.
"We'd had hope before that. Judith saw various doctors and they agreed that surgery was the best way to tackle the tumours, but they couldn't remove all of them because they had spread so far.
"To take them all away would have left so little of her digestive system, she would never have been able to eat again. It really was a death sentence. The consultant said there wasn't much they could do."
Elizabeth continues: "There was talk of chemotherapy, but that never happened - she'd had two major surgeries inside two months and never got her strength back enough to have the treatment.
"She was very brave. She was the sort of person who was always well organised. She found an apartment in Dublin for the family and even had the children's names down for a secondary school.
"Nearer the time of her death, she posted on her Facebook that she was terminally ill, but asked her friends not to contact the family as we were all in shock - she said we would contact them when the time was right."
The tumours continued on their relentless path and as Judith wasn't well enough to come home, she was transferred to a hospice where the family could easily visit her.
She'd had her second surgery on April 29 and died on May 28. Easing the way for her family as much as she could, Judith left instructions for her funeral - one of the songs she chose was Lord of the Dance. Her final resting place is at Hillsborough Parish Church, where she was married eight years earlier.
"We talked about having a fundraiser in her memory and she wanted any money raised to go to research," Elizabeth reveals.
"Sadly, my sister also lost her daughter to leukaemia when she was just 19, so researching cancer has a double significance for us.
"We chose Cancer Focus NI because they fund research that unravels how cancer works and will hopefully help find better treatments for patients. It's important to us to support this work, so that other families won't have to go through the same trauma in the future.
"When a loved one is ill, you can feel so helpless at the time, but it helps now to feel you are doing something that will potentially save the lives of others."

What's the Deal with: The Nuvaring
What's the Deal with: The Nuvaring
Condoms not your favorite choice of birth control?
Use condoms - video powered by Metacafe
Check out the Nuvaring. Once a month, you insert a little flexible contraceptive ring inside you. It releases a low dose of hormones for 3 weeks to prevent you from getting pregnant.
After 3 weeks, you remove the ring, which brings on your period. After 7 days, you insert a new ring for another 3 weeks, and so the cycle goes.
What's cool about the Nuvaring is that it's monophasic, meaning it delivers a consistent and steady dose of hormones for 3 weeks, so you won't feel the annoying ups and downs you might experience with regular birth control pills.
This is a great option for women who have a hard time remembering to take the Pill everyday.

Allen Carr knew, as his method became more popular he would not be able to cure the millions of people his organisation now cures worldwide on his own. He also knew that he would not live forever and just as when Alexander Fleming died people did not stop using penicillin, so when Allen died people would not stop using his method.
Allen set up a rigourous training programme for new therapists to help him achieve his goal to cure the world of smoking, during and long after he had gone.
Allen Carr therapists were heavy smokers who quit with the method themselves. Allen ensured that only the cream of the candidates were certificated by means of a stringent vetting programme as he knew that one poorly performing therapist could ruin in weeks a reputation it took him nearly 25 years to build.
The magic is in the method - Allen Carr
Allen insisted that he would never allow a potential therapist to qualify unless he was absolutely convinced that they would get a success rate at least equal to his own.
All of our therapists are MAACTI qualified, Members of the Association of Allen Carr Therapists International and this honour is currently bestowed upon less than 20 people in the UK.
You can be assured that when you attend an Allen Carr session you WILL see someone who...
You will NOT see someone who...
Usually, people continue to smoke because they fear living their lives in a state of constant deprivation, or worry that they won't be able to handle the terrible withdrawal period.
Using the World Famous Allen Carr Easyway to Stop Smoking method we remove all the myths about the benefits or pleasures of smoking and consequently all the fears about life without smoking are taken away. During the session you will realise that there is nothing of value to give up, and therefore, you will not feel that you have to live the rest of you life feeling deprived. Instead you will be relieved to be free.
Our method can work for any kind of smoker. Whether you are young, not so young, a heavy smoker, a light or casual smoker, a binge smoker, a secret smoker, our method can work for you!!!!
We don't use lasers, patches, gum or other nicotine containing products. There are no shock tactics, no gimmicks, tricks or false props. We don't even talk about the health scares. Best of all, you will not need willpower. In fact most of our clients say they found it not only easy to quit but they actually enjoyed the whole process of stopping.
We guarantee that you are in good hands, if you are still unsure and would like to know more, call us on 01270 664176 for a no obligation discussion.

On to the next holiday... err... wait. We still have Thanksgiving in there, but honestly, I'm already thinking about Christmas (I secretly have been for a while now). Now that Halloween is over, and the month of November is officially here it's time to get to business!
Thanksgiving and Christmas time are really two of my favorite holidays. I love spending so much time enjoying family. At the same time, the holiday season can be quite stressful. I tend to have a gray cloud of worry and planning that follows me around until I check things off of my list. Well, not this year!
I've been shopping for Christmas since August, after my son's birthday. Seriously. If I haven't been physically purchasing items, then I've been making lists of ideas. That way when the time comes, I won't have to think about it too hard.
This is my first list: Educational Gift Ideas for Families with Young Kids.
I have two younger boys, and I am always looking for ways to sneak in a little bit of learning while they are having fun. For instance, we have educational movies that they can choose from like Sight Words, Leap Frog, Veggie Tales, and more. My son is happy because he gets to watch TV, and I am happy because he is learning at the same time. You get the idea.
My focus lately has been on interactive learning tools that we can enjoy doing together. A little learning and bonding time combined, if you will. These are just four simple ideas of things that we picked out while spending an hour at Barnes & Noble.
1. Activity Flash Cards
I personally like the ones where kiddos can practice writing on them with a dry erase marker. These interactive cards are great for doing something together and making learning fun! My son loves using the marker and the eraser too. Kids, so easy to please sometimes.
2. Brain Quest
These are an excellent tool to give parents simple ideas on how to engage their child's thinking. It gets parents in the habit of asking probing questions about everyday things. Perfect item to set out on a coffee table and play when you have a few minutes. We own these. I purchased the next level above his age so that we can be working forwards.
3. Zingo! Sight Words
Zingo makes a sight word version of their popular game. Another awesome way to make learning fun, and really make those sight words stick. Repetition is key!
4. Spot it!
This original version of this game is challenging for all ages, and at the same time appropriate for younger children (say 3 or 4). They have a few different versions available, including ABC's, 123's, and Shapes. Wonderful for skill building, matching, and recognition. We have the original version and love it!
It's amazing how many fantastic learning tools and resources are available out there. Anyone else have ideas for interactive learning resources?
Stay tuned for a few of my other idea lists... coming soon!

I guess I forgot to post this one a while back when worked on Alan Watts. (If anyone helped me in that research and I have forgotten, please let me know so I can give credit to you)
The following is from
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_WattsAlan Wilson Watts
Alan Wilson Watts (6 January 1915 – 16 November 1973) was a British-born American philosopher, writer, and speaker, best known as an interpreter and populariser of Eastern philosophy for a Western audience. Born in Chislehurst, England, he moved to the United States in 1938 and began Zen training in New York. Pursuing a career, he attended Seabury-Western Theological Seminary, where he received a master's degree in theology. Watts became an Episcopal priest in 1945, then left the ministry in 1950 and moved to California, where he joined the faculty of the American Academy of Asian Studies.
Watts gained a large following in the San Francisco Bay Area while working as a volunteer programmer at KPFA, a Pacifica Radio station in Berkeley. Watts wrote more than 25 books and articles on subjects important to Eastern and Western religion, introducing the then-burgeoning youth culture to The Way of Zen (1957), one of the first bestselling books on Buddhism. InPsychotherapy East and West (1961), Watts proposed that Buddhism could be thought of as a form of psychotherapy and not a religion. He considered "Nature, Man, and Woman" (1958) to be, "from a literary point of view - the best book I have ever written."[citation needed] He also explored human consciousness, in the essay "The New Alchemy" (1958), and in the book The Joyous Cosmology (1962).
Towards the end of his life, he divided his time between a houseboat in Sausalito and a cabin on Mount Tamalpais. Many of his books are now available in digital format and many of his recorded talks and lectures are available on the Internet. According to the critic Erik Davis, his "writings and recorded talks still shimmer with a profound and galvanizing lucidity."[2]
The following is from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Carradine
John Carradine (born Richmond Reed Carradine; February 5, 1906 – November 27, 1988) was an American actor, best known for his roles in horror films and Westerns as well as Shakespearean theater. A member of Cecil B. DeMille's stock company and later John Ford's company, he was one of the most prolific character actors in Hollywood history. He was married four times, had five children and was the patriarch of the Carradine family, including four of his sons and four of his grandchildren who are or were also actors.
Early life
John Carradine was born in the Greenwich Village section of the Manhattan borough of New York City, son of William Reed Carradine, a correspondent for the Associated Press, and his wife Dr. Genevieve Winnifred Richmond, a surgeon.[1][2] He was primarily of Irish descent.[3] William Carradine was the son of evangelical author Beverly Carradine. The family lived in Peekskill and Kingston, New York.[4] William Carradine died from tuberculosis when his son John was two years old. Carradine's mother then married "a Philadelphia paper manufacturer named Peck, who thought the way to bring up someone else's boy was to beat him every day just on general principle."[5] Carradine attended the Christ Church School in Kingston[4] and the Episcopal Academy in Merion Station, Pennsylvania, where he developed his diction and his memory while memorizing portions of theEpiscopal Book of Common Prayer as a punishment.[5]
Carradine's son, David, claimed his father ran away when he was 14 years old. He later returned, as he studied sculpture at Philadelphia's Graphic Arts Institute.[4] Carradine lived with his maternal uncle, Peter Richmond, in New York City for a while, working in the film archives of the public library. David said that while still a teenager, his father went to Richmond, Virginia, to serve as an apprentice to Daniel Chester French, the sculptor who created the statue of Abraham Lincoln for the Lincoln Monument (see notes). He traveled for a time, supporting himself painting portraits. "If the sitter was satisfied, the price was $2.50," he once said. "It cost him nothing if he thought it was a turkey. I made as high as $10 to $15 a day."[1] During this time, he was arrested for vagrancy. While in jail, Carradine was beaten, suffering a broken nose that did not set correctly. This contributed to "the look that would become world famous."[5]
David Carradine said, "My dad told me that he saw a production of Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice when he was eleven years old and decided right then what he wanted to do with his life".[5] He made his stage debut in 1925 in New Orleans in a production of Camille and worked for a time in a New Orleans Shakespeare company.[4] Carradine joined a tent repertory theater under the management of R. D. MaClean, who became his mentor. In 1927, he took a job escorting a shipment of bananas from Dallas, Texas toLos Angeles,[4] where he eventually picked up some theater work under the name of Peter Richmond, in homage to his uncle. He became friends with John Barrymore, and began working for Cecil B. DeMille as a set designer. Carradine, however, did not have the job long. "DeMille noticed the lack of Roman columns in my sketches," Carradine said. "I lasted two weeks."[4] Once DeMille heard his baritone voice, however, he hired him to do voice-overs. Carradine said, "...the great Cecil B. DeMille saw an apparition - me - pass him by, reciting the gravedigger's lines from 'Hamlet,' and he instructed me to report to him the following day."[1] He became a member of DeMille's stock company and his voice was heard in several DeMille pictures, including The Sign of the Cross.
So what does this all mean?
Well, it means that all the crap that Alan Watts has said came from the corporations that own's the name, Alan Watts. It's all part of the actor based reality the corporations use to generate profit and keep you buying the actors books and merchandise. They could care less if what they are telling you is the truth or just another page taken from their hired script writers notebook.
So isn't it interesting that Carradine playing the character Watts is credited with the following:
Watts felt that absolute morality had nothing to do with the fundamental realization of one's deep spiritual identity. He advocated social rather than personal ethics. In his writings, Watts was increasingly concerned with ethics applied to relations between humanity and the natural environment and between governments and citizens. He wrote out of an appreciation of a racially and culturally diverse social landscape.
He often said that he wished to act as a bridge between the ancient and the modern, between East and West, and between culture and nature.
Watts led some tours for Westerners to the Buddhist temples of Japan. He also studied some movements from the traditional Chinese martial art T'ai chi ch'uan, with an Asian colleague, Al Chung-liang Huang.
Then not that John Carradine's son is the actor that played a role as the Zen Buddhist Kung Fu master on the TV show "Kung Fu"
Here is a portions from a book that will sum it all up for you.
Kung Fu is an American action-adventure martial arts western drama television series starring David Carradine. The series aired on ABC from October 1972 to April 1975 for a total of 63 episodes. Kung Fu was preceded by a full-length feature television pilot, an ABC Movie of the Week, which was broadcast on February 22, 1972. The series became one of the most popular television programs of the early 1970s, receiving widespread critical acclaim and commercial success upon its release.[2]
Kung Fu was created by Ed Spielman, directed and produced by Jerry Thorpe, and developed by Herman Miller, who was also a writer for, and co-producer of, the series.
The series follows the adventures of Kwai Chang Caine (portrayed by David Carradine as an adult, Keith Carradine as a teenager, and Radames Pera as a young boy), a Shaolin monk who travels through the American Old West armed only with his spiritual training and his skill in martial arts, as he seeks Danny Caine, his half-brother.[3] Many of the aphorisms used in the series are adapted from or derived directly from the Tao Te Ching, a book of ancient Taoist philosophy attributed to the sageLaozi.[4][5][6]
Keye Luke (as the blind Master Po) and Philip Ahn (as Master Kan) were also members of the regular cast. David Chow, who was also a guest star in the series, acted as the technical and kung fu advisor, a role later undertaken by Kam Yuen.
Kwai Chang Caine (David Carradine) is the orphaned son of an American man, Thomas Henry Caine, and a Chinese woman, Kwai Lin, in mid-19th-century China.[7] After his maternal grandfather's death he is accepted for training at a Shaolin Monastery, where he grows up to become a Shaolin priest and martial arts expert.
In the pilot episode Caine's beloved mentor and elder, Master Po, is murdered by the Emperor's nephew; outraged, Caine retaliates by killing the nephew. With a price on his head, Caine flees China to the western United States, where he seeks to find his family roots and, ultimately, his half-brother, Danny Caine.
Although it is his intention to avoid notice, Caine's training and sense of social responsibility repeatedly force him out into the open, to fight for justice or protect the underdog. After each such encounter he must move on, both to avoid capture and prevent harm from coming to those he has helped. Searching for his family, he meets a preacher (played by real-life father John Carradine) and his mute sidekick Sunny Jim (played by brother Robert Carradine), then his grandfather (played by Dean Jagger).
Flashbacks are often used to recall specific lessons from Caine's childhood training in the monastery from his teachers, the blind Master Po (Keye Luke) and Master Kan (Philip Ahn). Part of the appeal of the series was undoubtedly the emphasis laid, via the flashbacks, on the mental and spiritual power that Caine had gained from his rigorous training. In these flashbacks, Master Po calls his young student "Grasshopper" in reference to a scene in the pilot episode:
Master Po: Close your eyes. What do you hear?
Young Caine: I hear the water, I hear the birds.
Po: Do you hear your own heartbeat?
Caine: No.
Po: Do you hear the grasshopper which is at your feet?
Caine: Old man, how is it that you hear these things?
Po: Young man, how is it that you do not?[8]
During four episodes of the third and final season ("Barbary House", "Flight to Orion", "The Brothers Caine", and "Full Circle"), Caine finds his brother Danny and his nephew Zeke.
The Shaolin Monastery which appeared in flashbacks was originally a set used for the 1967 film Camelot. It was inexpensively and effectively converted for the setting in China.
The series used slow-motion effects for the action sequences, which Warner Brothers had previously utilized in the 1969 Sam Peckinpah film The Wild Bunch.
Bruce Lee's involvement
In her memoirs, Bruce Lee's widow, Linda Lee Cadwell, asserts that Lee created the concept for the series, which was then stolen by Warner Bros.[9] There is circumstantial evidence for this in a December 8, 1971 television interview that Bruce Lee gave on The Pierre Berton Show. In the interview, Lee stated that he had developed a concept for a television series called The Warrior, meant to star himself, about a martial artist in the American Old West (the same concept as Kung Fu, which aired the following year), but that he was having trouble pitching it to Warner Brothers and Paramount.
In the interview, Pierre Berton comments, "There's a pretty good chance that you'll get a TV series in the States called 'The Warrior', in it, where you use what, the Martial Arts in Western setting?"
Lee responds, "That was the original idea, ...both of them [Warner and Paramount], I think, they want me to be in a modernized type of a thing, and they think that the Western type of thing is out. Whereas I want to do the Western. Because, you see, how else can you justify all of the punching and kicking and violence, except in the period of the West?"
Later in the interview, Berton asks Lee about "the problems that you face as a Chinese hero in an American series. Have people come up in the industry and said 'well, we don't know how the audience are going to take a non-American'?"
Lee responds "Well, such question has been raised, in fact, it is being discussed. That is why The Warrior is probably not going to be on." Lee adds, "They think that business-wise it is a risk. I don't blame them. If the situation were reversed, and an American star were to come to Hong Kong, and I was the man with the money, I would have my own concerns as to whether the acceptance would be there."[10]
Whether or not Kung Fu was based on a concept by Lee, he was undoubtedly considered for the starring role. Herbie Pilato, in his 1993 book The Kung Fu Book of Caine: The Complete Guide to TV's First Mystical Eastern Western (pages 32–33), commented on the casting decision:
Before the filming of the Kung Fu TV movie began, there was some discussion as to whether or not an Asian actor should play Kwai Chang Caine. Bruce Lee was considered for the role. In 1971, Bruce Lee wasn't the cult film hero he later became for his roles in The Big Boss (1971), Fist of Fury (1972), Way of the Dragon(1972) and Enter the Dragon (1973). At that point he was best known as Kato on TV's Green Hornet (1966–1967) (Kung Fu guest actor Robert Ito reports that Lee hated the role of Kato because he "thought it was so subservient"). "In my eyes and in the eyes of Jerry Thorpe," says Harvey Frand, "David Carradine was always our first choice to play Caine. But there was some disagreement because the network was interested in a more muscular actor and the studio was interested in getting Bruce Lee." Frand says Lee wouldn't have really been appropriate for the series—despite the fact that he went on to considerable success in the martial arts film world. The Kung Fu show needed a serene person, and Carradine was more appropriate for the role. Ed Spielman agrees: "I liked David in the part. One of Japan's foremost Karate champions used to say that the only qualification that was needed to be trained in the martial arts was that you had to know how to dance. And on top of being an accomplished athlete and actor, David could dance." Nonetheless, grumbling from the Asian community would have made sense, given the fact that major roles for Asian actors were almost nonexistent. James Hong, an actor on the show and ex-president of the Association of Asian/Pacific American Artists (AAPAA) says that at the time Asian actors felt that "if they were going to do a so-called Asian hero on Kung Fu, then why don't they hire an Asian actor to play the lead? But then the show went on, we realized that it was a great source of employment for the Asian acting community." In fact, Hong says, Carradine had a good relationship with the Asian community.
Ed Spielman's commentary
According to Herbie J. Pilato, author of The "Kung Fu" Book of Caine and The "Kung Fu" Book of Wisdom:
Ed Spielman is the creator of the 'Kung Fu' series. Any claims to the contrary are incorrect, and an injustice. As a teenager, Mr. Spielman worked as a page at ABC-TV in New York. He discovered the secret arts of kung-fu in the early 1960s, and he studied Mandarin Chinese in College at night. He spent years doing his research in New York's Chinatown and elsewhere unearthing this heretofore secret knowledge. At that time, kung-fu was not known in the Western world and was denied to non-Chinese. It was taught by master/student relationships and within families. It was never revealed to non-Chinese. But, Spielman pressed on.
By the mid-1960s, Ed had acquired a depth of information, and wrote a forty-four-page treatment for film, TV and publishing titled, 'Kung Fu: The Way of the Tiger, The Sign of the Dragon.' He spent the next few years trying to move it forward to film or television. In 1969, he was introduced to young agent Peter Lampack at the William Morris Agency in New York. Lampack liked the material and made a deal with Warner's executive Bennett Sims in New York.
In February of 1970, Lampack bartered a deal for Spielman and his friend and collaborator, Howard Friedlander, to write a theatrical motion picture screenplay from Spielman's original story. All of this occurred in New York.
At the end of this development, Warner Bros. chose not to make the theatrical film. But, studio executive Harvey Frand had faith in the project, and took it to ABC, which by that time, had introduced a pioneering 'Movie of The Week' format.
The Spielman/Friedlander script was pared down for budget, produced and shown on ABC, February 22, 1972. It was an immediate hit. The iconic 'Kung Fu' monthly-then-weekly series followed...
Undoubtedly, Bruce Lee had his own ideas and aspirations, but that has nothing to do with Ed Spielman's ground-breaking and original work. The Writers Guild of America West awarded sole credit to Ed Spielman as the creator of 'Kung Fu'... And no allegation of Bruce Lee's having to do with the creation of 'Kung Fu' appeared in public until 'The Bruce Lee Story' (1993) in which the allegation was made.
Ed Spielman told me specifically: 'In 1993, I was preparing a major law suit against Universal,DeLaurentis Productions and all of those who were responsible for the false allegations in 'The Bruce Lee Story' to deprive me of the authorship of my work and defame me. But, Bruce Lee died in 1973 and his son Brandon also tragically died in 1993. A lawsuit by me would have fallen on Bruce Lee's widow, Linda. She had lost enough. I didn't think she would have survived those years in court. I thought about it...then told the lawyers to forget about it. The documents speak for themselves for anyone who cares to look...I was greatly disappointed that Bruce Lee did notappear as a principal in the 'Kung Fu' series. But he had nothing to do with its creation. My work and the 'Kung Fu' project was on the East Coast; his was on the West Coast. My work predated his by years. The complete story and characterswere registered in themid-1960s. The documents and contracts prove that.— Herbie J. Pilato

Perfume Makes You More Attractive
Perfume is supposed to make you smell nice. That is sort of what it says on the tin. But newly published research indicates that it also makes you look better too. The scientists showed photos of women's faces to a panel. The panel was mixed, but with more women than men. They were then asked to assess the attractiveness of the faces. While they were doing this they were exposed to either cooked fish oil or a delicate rose odour created by the top fragrance house Givaudan. Continue reading
Eating Vegetables Makes You Attractive
Not every blog post I do is an instant hit. The one I did yesterday about 5 a day for example was met with widespread indifference. Oh well. But it did remind me that there is another reason to eat fresh fruit and vegetables apart from simply being more healthy. They can also make you more attractive. Continue reading
Vellus Hair
We don't pay a lot of attention to vellus hair. This is the fine downy hair that covers a lot of our body, with the exception of the palms of our hands and for some reason, the backs of our ears. It isn't very visible so the beauty world doesn't take a lot of notice of it, though to my mind it is quite attractive. But you need to get pretty close to someone to be able to even see it, so it isn't something you are really aware of except on family members are very close friends. Continue reading

The Inches that Really Count – How your Height Affects Your Attractiveness
I am a slightly gawky individual. I am bit more interested in my computer than my personal appearance and I am not good at relating to other human beings. I am also well aware that the profile of my face does not conform to the ideals of Classical Greek beauty.
Despite all this, I have been reasonably successful in passing my genes on to the next generation. I have the good luck to be relatively tall, and I think that this positive has overcome all my other negatives. I am in the upper quartile for height, very nearly in the upper decile. I am taller than about 80% of other men in other words. In more ordinary language, I am tall but not outstandingly so.

Men Prefer Average Women
One of the best established facts in the study of the science behind beauty is that men find a waist to hip ratio in women of about 0.7 the most attractive. Its a brave group that will challenge this view, but an Australian group has done so in a recently published study. They showed men pictures of average women, Playboy centrefolds, photos from escort ads and curvaceous models from the twenties and nineties. ("Yeah, of course this is science, mate".)

Can appetite suppressants help you lose weight?
Most of us are dissatisfied to some extent or another with our body shape. A lot of people are a lot heavier than they would like to be, and there have been endless ideas put forward about how to get to the weight you want to be. One of the things we all know is that if we eat too much we put on weight, and that we can lose weight by eating less. I get some surprised looks sometimes when I suggest that excercising isn't very helpful for getting slim. My logic is that what matters is how much you eat relative to how much energy your body burns. If you exercise you deplete your blood sugar, and this makes you hungry. Your problem now is one of willpower. But if you have the willpower to overcome your hunger, you could do that just as easily without exercise. In fact the act of burning up your energy quickly has probably made it harder not easier to resist your cravings.
Sexual Strategies
This week's cover story on the New Scientist magazine is about sexual strategies – the different approaches men and women have to sex. At the time of writing you can still read the original article here, but New Scientist tends to take stories down after a while so the link may not work when you come to try it. But it is a long article in any case so here is my summary, and what it means to your own dating strategy.
Lynda Boothroyd of the University of Durham investigated what affected whether men and woman were more likely to be monogamous or promiscuous. This was a scientific study, so there were no moral judgements involved. The most interesting finding was that people were able to very accurately predict just from their photos whether people were more likely to be monogamous than promiscuous. The more attractive a face was, the more likely people were to rate them as promiscuous. And this was indeed the case.
This isn't all that surprising on one level of course – the more attractive a person is the more opportunities they are likely to have. As is usually the case when it comes to sex, blokes are more straight forward. The better looking guys are more likely to stray. That is about all there is to it, and I guess it is easy enough to interpret. For a man, biologically speaking, there is a lot to be gained from sleeping with as many females as possible. Good looking guys have the wherewithall to attract the partners and it isn't surprising to see them taking advantage of it.
Women are more likely to shop around when they are ovulating, even when in a stable relationship. It isn't perhaps as obviously a good strategy for women to pursue lots of sexual partners, especially when they already have a partner who they could cheese off. Maybe this is why this strategy is limited to times when women are fertile. The risk is more worth it.
I usually try and see what advice can be given from research. It is a bit trickier this time. For men, if you are planning on dating a married woman you will do better to look for attractive ones. For women, beware of men on internet dating sites. There is a good chance that they are married and looking for a fling. (I know, I know, you already knew that….)
The original reference is Evolution and Human Behavior, vol 29, p 211, and don't forget that evolution is the key to attractiveness.
What makes you beautiful? Your hormone levels
I have already posted about the features of an attractive female face. But what lies behind these observations? Could it be that your hormones make you beautiful?
A few years ago scientists at the University of St Andrews took photos of 59 women aged between 18 and 25 every week for six weeks. They also took urine samples and measured their oestrogen levels. By taking readings over the whole menstrual cycle they were able to come up with meaningful estimates of how much oestrogen the women had in their blood streams. Continue reading

The nation's benchmark stock index closed at its highest level in nearly four years Friday, marking a milestone in the long, slow climb from recession that could help recalibrate a presidential campaign dominated by the economy.
The S&P 500-stock index closed at 1365.74, its highest level since June 2008, when the nation was on the brink of the financial collapse that triggered the most severe recession since the Great Depression. The Dow Jones industrial average also topped 13,000 early Friday before closing at 12,982.95. The Dow hasn't closed above the psychologically signifcant 13,000 level since May 2008, and hit a low of 6547 on March 9, 2009.
The turnaround in the stock market offered an encouraging counterpoint to the spiraling gas prices that have hurt Americans' wallets. A survey of consumer sentiment released Friday by the University of Michigan/Reuters showed that households have become increasingly pessimistic about their financial situation and more optimistic about the economy over the long haul.
"Stock prices reflect peoples' belief about the future," said James J. Angel, a finance professor at Georgetown University. "If stock prices go up, it means people have a more optimistic view about the future."
The surging stock indexes — the Dow is up 20 percent since the fall — are not the only indicator suggesting that the country's nascent economic recovery is sustainable. The unemployment rate, which stood at 9 percent as recently as September, is down to 8.3 percent. Manufacturing output is up.
Despite the recent good news, the White House has been careful to temper its increasing confidence in the recovery with an acknowledgement of the toll that the continued spike in oil and gasoline prices is taking on household budgets. Oil prices are over $109 a barrel, the highest level in more than nine months. Meanwhile, the average price of a gallon of regular gasoline in the United States is $3.59, a 30-cent increase since the beginning of the year.
"High gas prices are like a tax straight out of your paycheck," President Obama said this week. He later added, "We're going to look at every single aspect of gas prices because we know the burden that it's putting on consumers. "
Meanwhile, Obama's Republican rivals have jumped on the price hikes as an example of the president's mishandling of the economy and flawed policies on domestic drilling and climate change. Former senator Rick Santorum implied this week that higher gas prices were part of the administration's attempt to reduce American's reliance on cars and to lower emissions. Former House speaker Newt Gingrich has promised that he would lower the price at the pump to $2.50 a gallon.
Like gasoline prices, the stock market is notoriously volatile and wields increasing influence over Americans' perception of their financial well-being. The profusion of 401(k) retirement plans and mutual funds means that what happens on Wall Street is felt more quickly by the masses.
When the nation teetered on the brink of default last summer, the markets tanked and Obama's approval ratings plummeted. Now, he is enjoying the opposite phenomenon: surging stocks and a bump in voter approval.
"The markets' ups and downs have a greater political effect than it used to," Democratic pollster Peter D. Hart said.
Analysts added that the performance of the stock market plays a key role in shaping voters' assessment of the broader economy, beyond their personal financial situation.
"The thing about the stock market is that it's there every day. People are voting every day with their dollars," said John Prestbo, editor and director of Dow Jones Indexes. "If the economy keeps on improving, President Obama's chances get better and better. Well, the stock market is part of the economy, and it's the only part that gets reported every second of every day."
Robert Erikson, a political science professor at Columbia University, pointed to the 1996 presidential race between Bill Clinton and Bob Dole. The Republicans had recently won control of Congress and thought they could gain back the White House as well. But in early 1996, the stock markets began surging along with other leading economic indicators and Clinton found himself within a comfortable margin of victory.
"People discount the past to some extent," Erikson said. "It's the rate of change that matters. A period of obvious growth could benefit the president . . . even if it starts from a low level."

Subject: Music123 Program Migration on July 1st!
Date: 10-Jun-2003, 9:46 PDT
Dear affiliate-
We will be migrating the Music123 affiliate program to Linkshare on July 1st. The program will remain in Commission Junction through June 30th.
The new program will have a longer cookie duration and a more favorable commission structure. A data feed for all products will also be available. We will be providing more details on the new program by June 20th.
To facilitate a smooth transition, please forward your contact information (name, web site, phone number and email address) to email@example.com. If you have an existing Linkshare account, please forward that to us as well. This will enable us to establish your Linkshare account prior to the launch date.
We appreciate your support of the Music123 affiliate program and your patience during the transition. We believe that the new program will be more profitable for our affiliate partners and welcome your participation.
Rona Palmer
Marketing Director
quote:I've got WAY TOO MUCH TIME INVESTED with Music123 BUT, nevertheless, because of their abandonment, and the crippling blow this makes on my time, I will NOT be following these guys to Linksnare. I know nothing about database programming. All my links are installed INDIVIDUALLY.
Your probably at least alienating all affiliates and eliminating everyone that has BUILT their site to incorporate hundreds, if not thousands, of individual product links throughout Music123.
How do YOU feel?

Hi Brian,
I hear ya....
Been there and done that.
It's a terrible feeling when you think about all of the time that you have put into a single company like that. I did that myself more than once. Of course, the simple short answer is to not put all of your eggs in one basket. At this time I am sure that is NOT what you want to hear but for future reference it is probably something that you should think about (more than already).
At one point I was "wiped out" myself and it was difficult to diversify. Just have a look at all of the different avenues available to you and try to forget about all of the work that you have put into this one merchant. thats a tough task, I know. It is VERY depressing to put hundreds if not thousands of hours into one merchant only to have them flake on you.
If we don't get some kool rules ourselves...... pronto........ then we'll just be bogus too.. ~Jeff Spicoli~

Once you get over this you must rethink static links - the workload is huge, products come and go, dead links will appear. Think about it from your visitors point of view, you have the very widget they are looking for they click and get a sold out or no longer stocked message. You have just lost a client.
Use this opportunity no matter how irritating to investigate live feeds, scripts, databases etc. You CAN do it! It will reward you many times over.

Thanks for your kind words and support but I'm still freakin LOST in the toilet of Merchant abuse and neglect.
Did, or does, ANY merchant EVER ASK WTF we have invested in THEIR companies already? We are simply SHIT plasted on the wayside for them to determine whatever THEIR destinies will be. BULLSHIT~!
I think there should be a PER ADVERTISEMENT FEE on TOP of all other fees a merchant spends to freakin' advertise on our site(s). I mean, WTF~!?, WE SPEND SERIOUS FREAKIN TIME BUILDING OUR SITES AROUND NOTHING BUT *******S THAT COULD CARE LESS~!
WE HAVE TO HAVE A CHARGE ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT THE NETWORKS CHARGE . . . ARE WE IN THIS FoR FREAKIN FREE? BULLSHIT~! I AM NOT~!

I will NOT be following these guys to Linksnare.
The thought of actually following a merchant over to That network is bad enough--but Schmusic123 has to be about the LAST PLACE ON EARTH I'd even *consider* doing it for!
Their M.O. is already reverse, reverse, extend, extend, stall stall stall! Haw haw, AS IF I'd go with them to a place where they don't have to pay at ALL (or at least not for MONTHS ON END)! Ha ha ha...
I wouldn't follow them to any maybe-pay network even if they claimed to be offering a 110% commission. I know I'd never see it, not from THAT deadbeat merchant...it'd be reversed down to practically nothing in no time, and I'd probably have to sue for the rest!
hundreds, if not thousands, of individual product links throughout Music123
Even with the feed, I'm not looking forward to all those 404s (thousands!) that are going to be showing up on my sites. Even with a replacement merchant, the pages will all be named differently so the Schmusic ones will be 404'd.
But I wouldn't even consider following them to Snare. H*ll, I didn't trust them farther than I can throw my computer tower when they were at *CJ*...
As for them leaving, it's not a total surprise. They got their first round of boos here a couple of weeks ago after they claimed they were leaving on June 16th. But I figured they deserved even more boos in exchange for all those aggravating reversals they gave me!

Leader has spoken from the heart. When a merchant migrates to a non-consolidated payment network from CJ they have to pay a large entry/setup fee. This extra expense when added to the changeover costs of migrating affiliate traffic has to effect the merchant's bottomline already streached to the limit requiring diversion/reversal games. My take is to put a folk in it ...this one's done.

Not all AM's are educated in affiliate marketing. CJ takes their startup fees, integrates their tracking code into the merchant's site and sends you out into the affiliate world with little or no training.
The smart (lucky) one's end up at ABW.

The problem with replacing them is that the othersw (whom I have as well) do not carry the quantity of items these clowns do.
Does anyone know WHO they might suggest that carries a LOT of instruments?

Yeah, and don't forget that Mucus123 did that a while back and DIDN'T TELL ANYONE, so all the deep links to special pages BROKE.

Music123 bashing aside, has there been any further details made available, about their data feed or linking? No mention of them on Linkshare's site and their own site has removed links to any affiliate program.
June 27th, 2003, 01:01 PM #14
I know the AM and last I talked to her the move to LinkShare was still in progress. Maybe it is taking longer than planned to get the new account set up. I assume it should be up any day. I'll let you know if I hear anything new.

Our goal in making this change is to improve earnings for our affiliates as well as for our company. We sincerely regret any inconvenience to our CJ affiliates, and encourage all to continue working with us at LinkShare.
In a market where our no hassle returns, 45 day price guaranty and satisfaction guaranty are neccessary in order to be competitive, and manufacturer's back-orders are common, there will always be some post-sale cancellations and returns.
The differences in the structure of the programs will create fewer reversals as well as generating greater revenues for our affiliates.
As the General Manager of our company, I am now personally overseeing our Affiliate Program. I welcome your questions at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Thanks for reading this response.

Hi Jeff,
"Improve earnings for our affiliates as well as for our company"
Nothing wrong with that but CJ program was 5% commission with a 30 days cookie before it was dropped to 1 day. (I lost half of my commissions)
Now, it's 2% commission on all goods, with a few products with 1 to 8% commission.
Cookie is now 7 days.
If I switch my links to LS, I'm going to loose again at least half my commissions.
Worse, you don't have individual product links anymore, we have to rely on the products you want us to promote. It means I can't link where I want to and it's not good for me.
I agree with one thing, we're not going to see anymore all the reversals, can't ship/sold out, invalid CC, just because the transactions are posted at LS after the products are shipped but the problem will stay the same and I can't see how it's going to help my revenue.
I don't see any incentive to follow you to LS.

Zeus, thank you, you are right on the money.
Jeff . . . ANOTHER CANNED RESPONSE? WTF~!
I think I'd rather lose all the time and effort I spent with M123 (while at CJ) than go through any more agony of dealing with the inadequacies of this BS~! I'd rather delete 40 of my pages than attempt to rectify them through an even more clouded fee structure and payout network.
Goodbye Jeff. It was a pleasure talking to your CANNED meat~!

Written for the Art Autograph during the Irish Famine, 1880.
Heartsome Ireland, winsome Ireland,
Charmer of the sun and sea,
Bright beguiler of old anguish,
How could Famine frown on thee?
As our Gulf-Stream, drawn to thee-ward,
Turns him from his northward flow,
And our wintry western headlands
Send thee summer from their snow,
Thus the main and cordial current
Of our love sets over sea, --
Tender, comely, valiant Ireland,
Songful, soulful, sorrowful Ireland, --
Streaming warm to comfort thee.
Poems are below...

Unanswered: NOT NULL is NOT working.
Howdy there,
I'm trying to make a couple of columns in my table set as "NOT NULL" my create goes something like this
create table if not exists tribe(
tribe _id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
language VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
people VARCHAR(20),
region VARCHAR(20),
......................so on and so on
however, when i create the table, i'm still able to insert rows with no data in the NOT NULL language. so if someone forgets to insert a language in the form, it still writes a blank cell in the database.
if i DESC the table it looks like this:
tribe_id int(11) PRI NULL auto_increment
language varchar(20)
people varchar(20) YES NULL
region varchar(20) YES NULL
I can see that they are blank in the NULL column but for TRIBE_ID, it's default is NULL and for language there is no default.
I just want to make it so it won't write a row in the database if the user didn't enter anything for language.
Thanks Much
Danny M.

My guess is that you've got an empty string, not a NULL column. Too bad that MySQL doesn't support the CHECK constraint yet, since that would allow you to fix the problem... For now, you'll need to prevent it using web page or client side code.

Palaeospondylus, genus of enigmatic fossil vertebrates that were very fishlike in appearance but of uncertain relationships. Palaeospondylus, from the Middle Devonian epoch (398 million to 385 million years ago), has been found in the Old Red Sandstone rocks in the region of Achannaras, Scot. Hundreds of specimens are known, yet the position of this genus in relation to other fishlike vertebrates is still poorly understood. Palaeospondylus was about 5 cm (about 2 inches) long. Unlike most of the contemporary forms of the Middle Devonian, the skeleton of Palaeospondylus was very well ossified, and no dermal armour was present, a feature prominent among the placoderms. A well-developed caudal fin, or tail fin, was present.
