The Case of the Canterfell Codicil
By PJ Fitzsimmons
Worth reading 😎
A quick murder mystery that leaves you asking the age old question: "huh?"
There's a literary niche for all tastes including those who think that either Agatha Christie wasn't funny enough or that PG Wodehouse didn't include anywhere near as many baffling murders as he could have. The Case of the Canterfell Codicil is a classic, cosy, locked-room mystery written in the style of an homage to PG Wodehouse. The result, for those familiar with Wodehouse or Jerome K Jerome and Agatha Christie or Dorothy L Sayers, is either an inexcusable offence to several beloved canons, or a hilarious, fast-paced, manor house murder mystery.
In The Case of the Canterfell Codicil, Wodehousian gadabout and clubman Anty Boisjoly takes on his first case when his old Oxford chum and coxswain is facing the gallows, accused of the murder of his wealthy uncle. Not one but two locked-room mysteries later, Boisjoly's pitting his wits and witticisms against a subversive butler, a senile footman, a single-minded detective-inspector, an irascible goat, and the eccentric conventions of the pastoral Sussex countryside to untangle a multi-layered mystery of secret bequests, ancient writs, love triangles, revenge, and a teasing twist in the final paragraph.
I'm not 100% sure when this book takes place, but for whatever reason, I'm putting this book in the 1920s. I'm just over here imagining women with long cigarette holders and gentlemen in nice suits. Not related to the book, but it's the best introduction to this book I have.
The overall treatment of the reader throughout the book is unique. Almost every chapter has some twist that throws the reader off from being able to figure out who the culprit is. As a reader, we are constantly getting thrown around, so when we come to the final conclusion, we finally feel at ease. At the same time, the entire book feels a lot like a fever dream because every time you think you have a sense of reality, a new wrench is thrown in. And while I'm not trying to harp on this too much, I do think that as a reader, I spent a lot of the book trying to figure out what was actually going on. However, there were so many parts of this book that made me completely laugh out loud. I enjoyed the general humor and wit that is evident throughout the book.
This book was an extremely quick read, due in large part by the constant motion sickness of being tossed around. The evidence that was given throughout the book was a little strange, but I cannot tell if that's because I don't live in the time period in which it takes place, because the things that they did in this murder case are weird – or a bizarre combination of the two. Whatever the case, there were parts of the story I needed to reread in order to have a better understanding of what was actually happening.
I would recommend this book for people who enjoy quick mysteries (this should 100% be a rainy day type of book), but I will be honest in saying that it is not one of my favorites.
Elizabeth Slick
During the day, I listen to books while working, and when I come home, I pick up a book and read. I've loved books since before I can remember, and I try and make reviews that encourage people to pick up and read for themselves. I try my best to be honest, and I hope that people appreciate that!

The Enigmatic Encounter on the 16:42 from Charing Cross
"COME AT ONCE -(STOP)- UNCLE SEB. DEAD -(STOP)- DEFENESTRATED BY UNSEEN HAND -(STOP)- FIDDLES"
"Rummy missive," I said to Carnaby, steward of the Juniper Gentleman's Club. He'd just read the telegram aloud for my benefit, my hands being otherwise occupied with a whisky and soda syphon. "What do you make of it?"
"I would hazard that someone of your acquaintance has been pushed from a window by a person or persons unknown, sir." Carnaby gleaned this without so much as touching the paper, which he carried on a doily on a pewter salver.
"You're quite certain it's for me, Carnaby?" I asked, reclining now with my bracer in a worn leather armchair of a species native to deep, burgundy-toned salons with rosewood wainscotting and high, paned windows giving onto a clattering street in Mayfair.
"It was addressed to Mister Anthony Boisjoly, sir."
Which was compelling, if not positively conclusive. Boisjoly is rarely pronounced correctly (it's "Boo-juhlay", for the record, like the wine region) but it's equally rarely mistaken for, say, Jones. I'm also hard to miss, at the Juniper, being the only dashing young rake with a full head of chestnut locks in a sea of dozing grey noggins for as far as the salon stretches in any direction.
"Damning," I confessed. "Best hand it over."
A glance at the postmark brought the entire picture into sharp focus. The telegram was sent that very day — July 12, 1928 — from the post office in Fray, East Sussex.
"Got it in one, Carnaby," I said. "The dearly departed in question is one Sebastian Canterfell."
"May I offer you my condolences, sir." Carnaby made his eyebrows bow solemnly, as only a club steward can.
"You may, Carnaby, so long as you don't mind me pocketing them for later consumption. I barely knew the man. I was at school with his nephew, Fairfax, better known to you as Fiddles, author of this exercise in cryptography."
"Please extend the commiseration of the Juniper."
"Will do," I assured him. "If you'll just conjure me a taxi, I'll be expressing your inexpressible sorrow before sunset."
During that time anyone who knew me even slightly also knew that my life revolved around the Juniper. I was between valets, the most recent of an unbroken string of disasters ending with a fire in my flat that could be seen from Hampstead, and I was staying at the club until my affairs were in order. So an invitation to visit Canterfell Hall, circumstances aside, came as a welcome change of pace.
The Juniper is a capital club with a wine list to rival the Ritz and a Carnaby who could out-steward all challengers, but I know from several doleful summers down from Oxford that the Canterfell pile is dripping with the poetry of the English countryside. It's one of those majestic scatterings of ramparts and barbicans occupying the headlands of a thatched village, itself preserved in aspic immediately upon tidying up after the War of the Roses.
Furthermore, the place is a positive embarrassment of luxury and decadence, with no expense spared in the thankless pursuit of impressing classmates of first-born sons. In the days of my youth, Canterfell Hall had a kitchen staff imported wholesale from France, including a dedicated wine steward who had once refused to serve King George a Chablis with his gigot d'agneau en croûte.
In the absence of a valet, I was forced to pack by process of looking at myself in a mirror and endeavouring to reproduce the effect in a satchel, four or five times over. This had the single happy side-effect of being quickly done, and I was at Charing Cross with enough time to spare for the 16:42 to Hastings that I was able to dash off a telegram to Fiddles, warning of my arrival.
It was one of those rich, sun-splashed afternoons, custom ordered for a journey by train and made all the more glorious by two whisky-sodas and the Surrey countryside chugging past, smelling of apple blossoms and coal dust. Nevertheless, I was pleased when just after departure the door to my otherwise lonesome compartment rattled open and a chap with a military bearing and suspicious moustache looked in and said "Hastings?" I leapt at the opportunity, of course, and sprang to my feet and offered him my hand.
"No," I said, "Boisjoly."
Sometimes spontaneous wit serves as a roaring great ice-breaker, sometimes it falls to the floor of the first-class compartment with a clang. It's in the delivery, I expect. I blame myself.
"No," said the chap, after a moment of uncertainty for which I feel partially responsible. "Is this the train to Hastings?"
I confirmed that it was and invited my travel companion to take the seat across from me, but he chose the place nearest the door. Doubtless he suffered from motion sickness.
In addition to a moustache that looked like an act of petty vandalism, the poor chap appeared to be wearing everything he owned on a hot afternoon in mid-July. I felt overdressed in a cotton driving suit and, were I alone, I'd have been sorely tempted to loosen my tie. And here was this fellow in a trench coat sort of affair in sidewalk grey, and low-brimmed fedora in the American style. In short, he was a mystery, and I knew without knowing why that he was going to play some role in the adventure which was about to unfold.
He was poring over a folder of hand-written notes on yellow paper, and studiously ignoring all manner of overture from an explicit "ahem" to my most seductive "hot, isn't it?", and so I resorted to a frontal attack.
"Anthony Boisjoly, that is," I said, again offering my hand. Whatever else he may have been, he was an English gentleman, and so was left with no choice but to sigh like a commuter and shake my hand.
"Ivor Wittersham," he pronounced himself.
"Oh yes?" I said. "Of the Wittersham Wittershams?"
"Distantly," answered Ivor, with what I thought briefly might have been a hint of impatience.
"Giles Wittersham — Lord Tisham, now, if memory serves — was a year ahead of me at Oxford. Sent down for absconding with university property. He was selling Magdalen Chapel hymn books to tourists. One shilling six. Two shillings even if you wanted him to sign 'Compliments of Baron Davidson of Lambeth, Archbishop of Canterbury' on the inside front cover."
"You don't say," said Ivor.
"I do say," I confirmed. "A gross overreaction on the part of the college, in my view — the poor man was practically destitute. The family came out of the war with a title and little else. Invested heavily in Austro-Hungarian war bonds, I believe. Hard luck, for Lord Tisham, at any rate. Could have gone either way."
Ivor stared at me with no expression, as though I had faded to transparency during my monologue and he was looking through me at the passing greenery.
"So," I said at last, breaking the vigil. "Do you know Hastings well? I can recommend the castle, while it lasts; it was in a deplorable state when I was there in '25."
"I'm not going to Hastings," said Ivor. "I'm stopping at Fray."
"That's a coincidence," I said, despite a looming suspicion that it was nothing of the sort. "So am I."
"Do you know Fray, as well?"
"Intimately," I said. "It's the country seat of an old college chum, Fairfax Canterfell."
"Any relation?" asked Ivor, referring to Fairfax's father who sat, at the time, on the Conservative benches in Parliament.
"Beloved offspring to the honourable member and his late, lamented wife," I said. "We called him Fiddlesticks, for Fairfax, and we called him Fairfax because his real name is Evelyn."
"Seems a perfectly respectable name," observed Ivor.
"Very respectable indeed," I agreed. "But Fairfax had a cousin at school at the same time — Evelyn Harold Canterfell."
"Whom you called, I assume, Harold."
"Hal, actually, but you're in the right lane."
"And you're calling on your old school friend? On a whim?"
There was something decidedly fishy about the way my new acquaintance spoke the word 'whim' as though it was underlined, and I felt a justifiable impulse to defend my impulsiveness.
"Hardly," I said, cooly. "I have been invited. Urgently, I might add. There's been a death in the family. The above-mentioned Hal's father, as it happens — Sebastian Canterfell."
"What is it that you do, Mister Boisjoly?" asked Ivor.
"Do? I flit, mainly, between club and theatre. I'm what the French would call a flaneur, if they knew me."
"So you're not a mortician then."
"A mortician?" I said. "No, hardly. I gave a famously moving eulogy at my father's funeral last year, parts of which were printed in the Times. They left out the funniest lines, in my view, but that's modern journalism for you. And that's the closest I've come to that noble undertaking, if you'll forgive the pun."
"A notary of some sort? Probate attorney?"
"Ah, I see what you're driving at," I said, the mists clearing. "No, I've been asked to look in because there's apparently something quite peculiar in the manner of the passing of Sebastian Canterfell."
"Oh, I see," said Ivor. "You're a police officer."
"Oh my dear lord no," I scoffed. "Not at all. Too much regard for my fellow man, I think. But I do enjoy a modest reputation among my kin and kind as something of a problem-solver. The one to whom they turn in times of turmoil. The Alexander to their Gordian knots."
"Including death under mysterious circumstances?"
"Not as a rule, no," I confessed. "Usually more matters of the heart, domestic disputes, that sort of thing. Did you read of the engagement earlier this year of Elspeth Finch-Epping to Milton Entwhistle Hardy?"
"No? Well, you never would, either, had I not intervened when Milton — we called him Melting at school, obviously — when Milton was sued for breach of promise by a music-hall performer who went by the stage name of Iva Gudden, if you will."
"Bought her off, did you?" said Ivor, as though the practice of buying off music-hall singers was a late omen of the fall of man.
"Hardly," I said. "No, I proposed to Miss Gudden myself."
"Didn't that just transfer the problem to you?"
"A problem shared is a problem halved," I said. "Or, in this instance, divided by eleven, the sum total of all the men to whom Miss Gudden was engaged. When she sued me, too, for breach of promise, I was able to establish to the satisfaction of Elspeth and, above all, her mother, that Melting was the victim of a serial confidence trickster."
"So this will be your first murder."
"I'd hardly call it mine."
"Seems more a matter for the authorities," observed Ivor.
"Doubtless they'll be informed in due course," I said. "But you know how the police approach these things, arresting the first person who can't prove that he was in the company of two vicars at the time of the murder. It's a matter of incentive, you see. A career in law enforcement is built not on the number of guilty men hanged, merely the number of men hanged."
"Take it from me," I said. "The police will kick down the doors, arrest the footman and the gardener and, time permitting, the cook, and whichever had a grudge against the deceased and/or fails to account for his whereabouts wins a twine necktie."
"I expect that police procedure is marginally more complicated than that."
"Not by much," I said, warming to the theme. "The Canterfell family is tremendously wealthy, you see. Plodders find that intimidating. They'll be anxious to pin the affair on the lowest born pigeon. Drop an 'H' in close proximity to a cadaver of the ruling class and you'll be in the Clink before you can say 'garden gate'."
"Garden gate?"
"Magistrate. It's Cockney," I elucidated. "But forget you heard it. You'll want to stay well clear of rhyming slang if ever questioned by an English policeman regarding your disposition at the time his lordship was biffed in the back of the head with a brass candlestick holder."
"Was this Canterfell chap a lord?"
"I was speaking hypothetically," I explained. "No, the Canterfell name is currently without noble ornamentation. But the family own most of the village and surrounding field and glen."
"Ah," said Ivor. "So you think the killer is closer to home. A family member, no doubt."
"I don't like to express an opinion before getting a firm handle on the facts," I said. "I merely mean that one should approach this thing, as with all things, with an open mind. Might have been the gardener, might equally have been Laetitia Canterfell, the dead man's wife, or his son, Hal."
"Or your friend, Fairfax?"
"In a pinch. Speaking very frankly Sebastian Canterfell was not widely hailed as a fellow well-met."
"Disliked, was he?"
"In places far and near. I met a man by chance in the bar car of a train from Paris to Marseille who, unprompted, compared Sebastian Canterfell unfavourably to rubella."
"Unloved and wealthy. It seems open and shut."
"That's just what I expect the police will say," I said. "But the treasure remains in the hands of the family patriarch, Evelyn Clarence Canterfell. We call him the major."
"So who benefits from the death of Sebastian Canterfell?"
"There are those who would argue that we all do, in our way," I said. "But his brother, Halliwell, right honourable member for Fray, seems to fit the bill. Except that he's in Westminster as we speak, and in my own personal experience the man has all the penetrating intelligence of a country cabbage."
"Indeed?" said Ivor, doubtfully. "His speeches in parliament are famous."
"I daresay they are," I agreed. "He frequently stands up in support of measures not currently under consideration by His Majesty's government. Only this month, while the house debated the pensions act, he held the chamber spellbound for forty-five minutes on the subject of a national mollusc. I believe that he was agitating on behalf of the Selsey Cockle."
The train from London to Hastings traces a wide arc through dense woodland before passing through Tunbridge Wells, and it was in that instant that it broke free of a canopy of summer leaves and the evening sun burst into our compartment like a Roman candle. Ivor seized the opportunity to avert his eyes and return to his notes, and I contented myself with counting down the Victorian-era red brick station houses until the village of Fray, just this side of Hastings.
Only Ivor and I alighted at Fray, and there was nobody waiting to board. This is considered heavy traffic for the little station, which owes its existence to a proposed junction line between Bognor Regis and points East, an initiative that has so far not broken ground. At the village side of the station was a dusty Morris Cowley, with the top town and an Oxford chum leaning idly against the boot, smoking a cigarette.
Fiddles hadn't changed a bit since our days in college, apart from a monastic bald spot which got its start in his senior year, and the filling out of a tendency toward jowliness that he'd exhibited all his life. The result was a pleasant pudginess that somehow made him look younger every year. Doubtless in his dotage he would resemble a toddler. He was dressed as the gentleman farmer he'd become, all hobnails and shooting tweed.
"Anty," he said. "Thanks for coming so quickly, old man." We shook hands vigorously, not having clapped eyes on one another for over a year. Then he took in Ivor with a quizzical glance and said, "Inspector Wittersham, I presume."

Located in the heart of north Dallas is a very special place known as Northwood Hills. This community proudly displays a love and respect for nature in the middle of an urban metropolis. The appreciation for natural beauty blends effortlessly with the roughly 1,200 homes in Northwood Hills, mostly single-family houses ranging in value between $400,000 and $2+ million. The neighborhood offers many attractive features for homebuyers looking to connect with nature but Northwood Hills is also ideally situated, close to all of the major arteries, an abundance of shopping and country clubs, T Bar M, a private tennis club, restaurants galore and most of the desirable private schools in the area.
Northwood Hills attracts buyers more interested in their environment, lot size and natural beauty than the improvement/house that is on the lot. Because that can be changed, the neighborhood boasts both new construction as well as homes with varying degrees of updates. Several parks, hundreds of ancient oak trees and a meandering creek give homeowners the impression of being miles away from civilization. Rare birds and other wildlife are a common sight, and the entire neighborhood teems with wildlife right outside almost every backdoor. Most of the lots are at least half an acre, and the houses are set fairly far back from the street, so that the large lawns give off a distinct park-like feeling.
Another great feature of Northwood Hills is the community's unique location. Despite its rural atmosphere, Northwood Hills is situated right outside the LBJ Freeway, just 10-15 minutes' drive to downtown Dallas and many of its attractions. Most of Northwood Hills is in the award-winning Richardson Independent School District attendance area. Numerous private schools are also conveniently accessible to students looking for specific educational needs.
Visit www.NorthwoodHills.org to find out about the Northwood Hills Homeowners Association (NHHA), the voluntary HOA for Northwood Hills' residents. This very active, voluntary homeowners' association boasts over 50% membership, and its website has many helpful tools to assist new residents. NHHA hosts an Independence Day parade each July 4th, provides a private security patrol service seven days/week, mails quarterly newsletters and sends Membermails with timely and pertinent information to its' members via email, from finding lost pets to crime reports, helpful security tips and trash pick-up schedules. This close-knit community welcomes new residents with open arms, and one couple, who moved into the community in 1957, when it was first developed, wrote a history of the neighborhood for a booklet to help acquaint new residents.
If you're looking for friendship, tranquility and a proximity to nature all while enjoying the comfort of a fine home within a 15-minute drive to a downtown area, Northwood Hills is a great place to start looking. There are a number of schools in the area for those raising a family. Northwood Hills is just minutes from University of Texas at Dallas and Southern Methodist University for your bigger kids. There are a number of ways to get active in the local community, and shopping and dining are not far away. There are even parks, a city pool, library and recreation center known as Fretz Park adjacent to the neighborhood to the north. Northwood Hills Elementary is the neighborhood school and boosts a playground for a day out with the kids. There is truly something for everyone in Northwood Hills.

Posted in new release, pop, rawk, review By Bill Kopp On June 21, 2016
Album Mini-review: Those Pretty Wrongs
File next to: Starling Electric; Teenage Fanclub, The Posies
Jody Stephens was the George Harrison of legendary Memphis power pop group Big Star: though these days Chris Bell and Alex Chilton get the lion's share of credit for the transcendent melodies they served up on #1 Record and Radio City, Stephens' contributions are too often overlooked. He's raised his profile via his involvement with the ongoing Big Star 3rd project, but Stephens' new collaborative effort with Luther Russell should earn him well-deserved recognition for his current work. "Ordinary" sounds incredibly like a great lost cut off one of those first two Big Star records. "Empty City" is informed by The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds. Stephens' achingly vulnerable voice conveys bucket loads of emotion, and the jangle quotient is delightfully high throughout the album. Those Pretty Wrongs delivers winsome and tuneful pop of the highest order.

Development of 3-D topometric imaging and 2-D photogrammetry methods for high-through...
Thomas Chastain
Advances in technology have increased adoption of high-throughput phenotyping (HTP) methodologies, potentially replacing laborious and time-consuming measurements and data recording. One promising HTP tool for fine-featured and small-sized characteristics are 3-dimensional (3-D) scanning and imaging systems, but the utility of present 2-D technology has not been fully explored for this purpose. The objective of this work was to develop 2-D photogrammetric and 3-D topometric imaging methods for HTP of spike characteristics in perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) with special attention to traits that might be associated with seed retention. These HTP imaging systems were compared with direct data capture by hand in spikes of 21 diverse global accessions of perennial ryegrass. The Fiji (ImageJ) open source imaging software was used for photogrammetric analysis of spike structure including spike length, spikelet number, internode length and 2-D curvature of the spike. The optical sensor Artec Space Spider 3-D scanner was used to generate dense 3-D point clouds to measure spike length, spikelet number, internode length, spikelet length, spikelet angle, and 3-D curvature of the spike. Both methods were found to accurately characterize the subject, the 3-D method was slower than 2-D but was more (P ≤ 0.01) precise than 2-D image analysis with a linear measurement deviation of only 0.17%. Fiji was effectively used for post-processing image analysis and the Space Spider can be used directly in the field to support HTP data collection. This non-destructive field measurement system facilitates HTP in perennial ryegrass spikes and likely in other applications.
Three-dimensional phenotyping of peach tree crown architecture utilizing terrestrial...
Rafael Bohn Reckziegel
Tree training systems for temperate fruit have been developed throughout history by pomologists to improve light interception, fruit yield, and fruit quality. These training systems direct crown and branch growth to specific configurations. Quantifying crown architecture could aid the selection of trees that require less pruning or that naturally excel in specific growing/training system conditions. Regarding peaches [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch], access tools such as branching indices (BIs) have been developed to characterize tree crown architecture. However, the required branching data to develop these indices are difficult to collect. Traditionally, branching data have been collected manually, but this process is tedious, time-consuming, and prone to human error. These barriers can be circumnavigated by utilizing terrestrial LiDAR (TLS) to obtain a digital twin of the real tree. TLS generates three-dimensional (3D) point clouds of the tree crown, wherein every point contains 3D coordinates (x, y, z). To facilitate the use of these tools for peach, we selected four young peach trees scanned in 2021 and 2022. These four young trees were then modeled and quantified using the open-source software TreeQSM. As a result, "in silico" branching and biometric data for the young peach trees were calculated to demonstrate the capabilities of TLS phenotyping of peach tree-crown architecture. The comparison and analysis of field measurements (in situ) and in silico branching data (BD), biometric data, and residual ground truth data were utilized to determine the reconstructive model's reliability as a source substitute for field measurements. Mean average deviation (MAD) when comparing young tree height was approx. 8.2%, with crown volume (crV) was approx. 7.6% across both 2021 and 2022. All point clouds of the young trees in 2022 showed residuals < 10mm to cylinders fitted to all branches, and mean surface coverage >50% across all branching orders.


Oswego State sophomore men's ice hockey forward Luke Moodie has been named the SUNY Athletic Conference Men's Ice Hockey Player of the Week for the week ending November 7, 2010 for his role in victories over Potsdam, 7-1, and Plattsburgh, 5-3. He registered a natural hat trick over a six-minute span in the second and third period to break open a one-goal game versus Potsdam. In Saturday's contest against the Cardinals, he netted the game's first goal and assisted the first Laker score in the third period. Entering the weekend, Moodie had three assists for the season.
The Lakers are now 6-0-0 overall and 4-0-0 in the league, and ranked second in the most recent USCHO.com Division III poll.

There's More to Comedy Games than Just Comic Relief Characters
Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw | 16 Aug 2016 12:00
Extra Punctuation - RSS 2.0
So let's talk about comedy games. In my last ZP I talked about Headlander, and how it felt more like a game with too many comic relief characters than a "comedy game" per se. This is because the actual events that drive the plot are largely po-faced; it's a fairly hard sci-fi yarn about saving all the digitized humans from the evil dictator.
To my mind, what differentiates a full on "comedy" from something that's merely light-hearted or having a comedic tone is that you can tell that it's a comedy from just a synopsis of the events that happen in the plot. Even if they're not inherently funny there'll be some obvious absurdity or exaggeration about them. Ghostbusters is a comedy because they fight a giant marshmallow man. The exception would be if we're talking about a deliberate deadpan parody, like Airplane! and everything else Leslie Nielsen did after 1980.
To bring things back to games, Psychonauts is a comedy game. You're attempting to save the world from villainy afoot in a summer camp for psychics. That's an absurd scenario, the supernatural being accepted in a conventionally mundane and innocent setting. Sunset Overdrive is a comedy game about people being turned into mutant zombies by an energy drink; again, something absurd and monstrous comes out of something as innocent and faintly lame as a commercial beverage. It's a failed comedy game because it's not in the least bit funny, but it did at least make its intentions clear.
In contrast, something like Sacred 3 I would not classify as a comedy game, it's got a fairly straight fantasy RPG plot. It's just that someone seems to have tortuously tried to crowbar snarky humour into every single line of dialogue, whether it was needed or not, and it's absolutely excruciating. It makes me think of films that are the tragic victims of studio meddling like Suicide Squad, that end up trying to keep five different tones going because various people in charge couldn't decide in what direction the prevailing winds were blowing.
My point is, it's best to pin down exactly what your work is trying to do rather than shop indecisively around, and Headlander leaves me cold. It feels like Double Fine arrived at a similar area to Sacred 3 from a different direction - rather than the straight fantasy trying to be funny, they're the funny company trying to do something a bit more serious but feeling obligated to keep it anchored in the funny zone.
Headlander's comedy tone is more in the dialogue and the visuals, but even then the humour feels more like the crispy outer shell than a thing that infuses it. The only characters who come across as inherently quirky are the background ones, like the apologising turrets and complaining doors, and the characters that are actual agents of the plot mostly come across as serious. As for the visuals, most of the humour in them comes from a sort of "let's all point and laugh at how people in the 70s were different" area.
A hilariously pithy line of Swiftian prose will see you through a moment, but you can live off a knob gag for years.
I suppose there is something quite inherently funny about you being a disembodied head, and the way you can attach yourself to lame retro android bodies and Roombas, so maybe I'm understating it. Maybe I'm just down on the game because what humour it had didn't make me laugh. There's a very simple structure to gags that video games routinely cock up: set up, then pay off. The joke in you being a floating head pays off precisely once, at the very start, and then the humour value just hangs around the rest of the game like a weird smell.
A lot of humour in games seems to fall into the Spider-Man trap of repeating itself, as with Spider-Man constantly repeating the same comedy quips throughout combat until you want to break a chair leg off in his teeth. A particularly egregious example in Headlander is the apologising turret. It wasn't even funny the first time it yelled SORRY as it belched laser. See, Portal did broadly speaking the same joke with turrets that forgive you for destroying them. First of all that's initially funnier because the turret was trying to hose you down with white hot death, so if anything you're the one who needs to be forgiving it. Secondly, the line only plays once, when you destroy the turret, so it doesn't get stale quite as fast, and thirdly it mingles with the sense of relief one gets from removing a hazard from the game.
But the turrets in Portal were non-characters. That was part of the joke too, I think, its voice lines were prerecorded things put into an automated weapon by the manufacturer out of some incredibly misguided attempt to make them seem friendlier. The turrets in Headlander are I think supposed to be characters with personalities - or, one suspects, a single personality spread across the entire security system, which would be in keeping with the way digitized consciousness works in the rest of the game. In which case, if it were me, I would have given them an arc. Rather than persistently yelling SORRY from start to finish and run the non-joke into the ground, maybe at some point in the storyline the player could inadvertently do something the turret finds incredibly offensive, and its personality would shift through disbelief to righteous fury before (just before the end of the game) breaking down in tears and begging forgiveness because it let its emotions carry it away. All the while emitting the same constant stream of hostile gunfire. That'd work better as a joke 'cos it's adding a new twist to the established gag.
This is a suggestion I wouldn't have thought Double Fine needed to hear, since they did this very thing in Psychonauts. There are two cheerleader characters who are established early on as very annoyingly upbeat. That's the initial gag, but then later on you catch them attempting suicide and realise they're both horribly manically depressed. That's the admittedly kinda dark twist. Similar thing with Wheatley in Portal 2 when he very suddenly switches from moronic sidekick to moronic villain.
Even then, gags that are dependent on dialogue always have a shelf life. A hilariously pithy line of Swiftian prose will see you through a moment, but you can live off a knob gag for years. Nine years and counting, so far.

"Sapa Dey Do Celebrity" How Joseph Yobo's retirement affected our marriage – Adaeze Yobo spills
In a recent chat with Mercy Johnson Okojie in her cook show, the mum of three disclosed that she was glad when he eventually retired but she was bothered about him.
Shedding light on their marriage which recently turned 12 years, Adaeze Yobo spilled that it has been beautiful.
Former Beauty Queen, Adaeze Yobo who doubles as the wife of popular footballer, Joseph Yobo has revealed how the footballer's retirement affected their marriage.
"I was happy he retired, we traveled around, moved around, and stayed around 5 different cities but I had the fear of how he will cope cos he breathes football and that is how he makes money, I spoke to him and talked him through it and he came out okay cos I told him it's okay for him to tell me when he feels sad."
"We met when I was 19 and he was blunt, he knew what he wanted from day one. I want to be your friend, he didn't beat around the bush…a month later he gave me a promise ring and said he wanted to marry me. I told my mum and she is like what about your university education but he promised he will let me go to school and support me through it even in marriage and he did. I went to school in LA"

Steve O'Keefe banned from limited overs competition in Australia
Steve O'Keefe has been banned from playing the domestic competition of limited overs for this year by New South Wales. The decision was taken after the player was found guilty of the offensive outburst.
He has also been fined $20000 by Cricket Australia for the unruly behaviour. He was under the influence of alcohol and showed unprofessional and unethical behaviour. The incident took place at a party after the Steve Waugh Medal Presentation in Hilton Hotel Sydney.
Steve O'Keefe has admitted to the wrong doings and said that he was intoxicated and there is no excuse for the incident that happened in the party. He also said that he has taken the full responsibility of it and accepted the punishment. He further added that he would try to leverage the benefits of the counselling program to improve in the tough times, said the ESPN Cricinfo.
This is not the first time that has been found in the alcohol related offence. Last year, he was fined $10000 after an incident in a Sydney Bar. He was also served an infringement notice by the NSW Police. O'Keefe then changed everything for him as he came to the India tour and performed extremely well in the high voltage series. Even though Australia lost the series but the Aussies were very competitive and Steven was one of the big reasons.
However, after this incident, the future of O'Keefe looks bleak for Australia. He was never regular into the team, and once you get into something like this, there is hardly any chance from where you can pick up again. However, the Cricket Australia shall decide the selection of him in the National team.

Tom Bossert, White House Homeland Security Adviser, Becomes Latest To Step Down Tom Bossert, the White House adviser on homeland security and counterterrorism, has resigned. The move came a day after John Bolton took over as President Trump's national security adviser.
White House Homeland Security Adviser Bossert Becomes Latest To Step Down

White House homeland security adviser Tom Bossert has resigned, the administration announced Tuesday.
President Trump's adviser on homeland security, who helped coordinate the administration's response to a series of powerful hurricanes last year, is leaving the White House.
Tom Bossert's departure as counterterrorism and homeland security adviser comes one day after John Bolton took over as Trump's national security adviser.
Bolton Brings Hawkish Perspective To North Korea, Iran Strategy
"The president is grateful for Tom's commitment to the safety and security of our great country," White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement. "President Trump thanks him for his patriotic service and wishes him well."
Bossert's exit follows that of National Security Council spokesman Michael Anton, who stepped down Sunday. Bolton — a polarizing figure and veteran bureaucratic infighter — is expected to put his own stamp on the White House national security apparatus. This week's staff changes may be the beginning of that process.
Trump's National Security And State Department Picks Alarm American Muslims
In her statement, Sanders praised Bossert's efforts to deter terrorist threats, strengthen U.S. cyberdefenses and respond to what she called "an unprecedented series of natural disasters."
Bossert was attending the annual Cipher Brief security conference in Sea Island, Ga., until late Monday night. NPR national security correspondent Greg Myre reports from the conference that Bossert gave no indication he would be out of a job the next day.
At a Sunday night event, Bossert was asked by Suzanne Kelly, CEO of The Cipher Brief, what it's like to work in the Trump White House. Bossert said, "You won't believe this, when I tell you that this White House seems to function just about the same as every other White House." He continued:
Bossert: At the end of the day, the only thing that creates instability or the perception of it is a) the coverage and b) the turnover. And I think at this point we've reached what seems to be a decent stability point and I'm pretty comfortable with the president's view of that, but it's a little different.
Kelly: So no more exits, departures, shifting around, is that what you're saying?
Bossert: No, I just uh, I just feel... (laughter)
Kelly: I thought that's what I heard.
Bossert: I feel comfortable for today and uh... (laughter)
Kelly: Noted.
Bossert previously served as as a deputy homeland security adviser in the George W. Bush White House and with the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

UAL Shares Fall as Old Story Surfaces Online
By Susan Carey and Geoffrey Rogow
Sept. 9, 2008 12:01 am ET
The mysterious appearance on the Internet of a nearly six-year-old news story about UAL Corp.'s 2002 bankruptcy-court filing caused investors to dump the stock Monday.
After trading near $12.50 a share early Monday, stock in United Airlines' parent quickly fell to $3 on the Nasdaq Stock Market on heavy volume before trading was halted and the company issued a statement saying that reports of a new Chapter 11 filing were "completely untrue."
Once trading resumed 90 minutes later, UAL shares rebounded, but they still closed off 11% for the day at $10.92. Nasdaq, a unit of Nasdaq OMX Group Inc., said that it had reviewed transactions involving UAL shares during a 13-minute period before the halt and that all trades will stand. A trade for 100 shares at a penny apiece occurred on another exchange after the trading halt on Nasdaq and was later cancelled.
It is unclear exactly how the story resurfaced and who might be at fault -- a newspaper Web site, a search engine, a news aggregator, a market manipulator, or someone or something else.
United blamed the "irresponsible" posting of a 2002 Chicago Tribune article on the South Florida Sun-Sentinel's Web site Monday morning. The Tribune and the Sun-Sentinel are both owned by Tribune Co. Tribune said the story was located in the archive section of the Sun-Sentinel's Web site and contains information that would "clearly lead a reader to the conclusion that it was related to events in 2002." The company also stressed that no article regarding a United bankruptcy filing appeared Monday or over the weekend on the Sun-Sentinel Web site or any Tribune Web site. Sun-Sentinel editors didn't return phone calls.

Dirk Herten (piano)
rec. White Atrium, Brussels, Belgium, date not given
WH'TE no number [60:08]
This recording by Belgian pianist Dirk Herten of Michael Finnissy's Gershwin arrangements arrives like a demo CD in a simple card slipcase and carrying no further documentation. It is, however, well recorded, with plenty of detail and colour in the piano sound. As the title would lead you to expect, these pieces are lighter in character than many of Finnissy's larger scale works, but the detail in their adaptation of famous standards into something new and original hides a significant compositional achievement.
The Gershwin originals are more or less recognisable if you know them well enough, with Finnissy also throwing in some jazz-style gestures here and there to keep us grounded. The harmonies and rhythms of these familiar tunes have however been added to, stretched and altered to create a fascinating mixture of detailed richness and at times an almost Baroque framework of well integrated but elaborate additional material.
There are a few alternative recordings of this set around. Nicholas Hodges's recording on the Metronome label (see review) also includes More Gershwin and is pretty hard to beat. Ian Pace's recording on the Metier label is also a strong candidate. This is recorded at a slightly more distant perspective than Herten and with more ambience of the 'front-room' kind. Ian Pace's pedigree in performing Finnissy's work is beyond criticism, and despite my impatience with The History of Photography in Sound (see review) I have nothing but admiration for his staggering stamina. Dirk Herten's touch does however seem more keen to seek out the jazz 'feel' in these arrangements. Where Pace explores their more avant-garde side Herten sails closer to the Gershwin idiom, giving these arrangements at times a pleasantly improvisatory character – though perhaps more from a hotel bar than the concert hall.
The problem with the cycle as a whole is the generally slow pace of the music, which perhaps makes it a bit much for one sitting. I waited for some discernible highlights, but the wash of exploratory meandering really refuses to let up, so that you end up with a musical meal something akin to Black Forest gâteau for starters, main and sweet. This has much to do with the performance, which is slickly polished but rather gentle when compared with Ian Pace's more extreme and daring approach. Take Blah, blah, blah for instance, which Pace delivers at a fairly blistering 1:42 to Herten's laid-back 3:43. This is an intriguing take on some fascinatingly far-out arrangements, but is by no means the last word on this subject.

In 2018, we launched a new partnership with the organisation Glad's House, based in Mombasa, Kenya. Glad's House is the only organisation engaging with street connected girls in a holistic way, offering a safe alternative home, access to education and support for girls to fulfil their potential. This new partnership will help to raise awareness and funds for the specialist Glad's House Girls programme. Our partnership will allow for shared learning opportunities, innovative ways to engage with girls and provide ongoing support to strengthen monitoring, evaluation and learning (MEL) to better demonstrate impact.
Mombasa is Kenya's second largest city after Nairobi with a population of roughly 1.2 million, of which over 150,000 people live in slums in conditions of abject poverty. Here, basic sanitation and running water are not available and many families cannot afford to provide a basic meal for their children. Thousands of children suffer from malnutrition and preventable diseases. The HIV infection rate is estimated to be as high as 75% in the urban slum. Many children living on the streets have no papers or other form of identification, which makes access to education and other social services difficult. Unemployment in Mombasa is 44% – which is more than double the national average (21%) and results in children working in the informal sector or being sexually exploited to earn a living. Commercial sexual exploitation is on the rise in Mombasa, catering mainly to western tourists. It's estimated 30,000 boys and girls between the ages of twelve and 14 are said to be sexually exploited each night in the city's multitude of go-go bars and clubs.
Every Girl Deserves a Chance
– Education & residential care for street girls in Mombasa –
Our partnership with Glad's House is focused on street connected girls. The number of girls living and working on the streets in Mombasa is increasing and no one knows why. We do know that these girls and young women inevitably become trapped in a cycle of violence, abuse and sexual exploitation. Girls as young as 7 years old, have experienced rape, extreme violence and abuse, often leading to drug taking and self-harm to cope with the trauma and pain. Girls are far more vulnerable than boys to sexual abuse,, manipulation into sexual exploitation and the inherent culture of "ownership" by the boys.. Inevitably, many fall pregnant, with their babies born into a greater risk of infant mortality.
Every Girl Deserves a Chance is a holistic three-tiered programme, designed to support girls at every step of their journey to leave the streets, begin the lengthy process of recovering from trauma and rebuild their lives. The holistic approach is designed to empower girls with knowledge of their rights, support to return to education and vocational training to improve chances of employability. It also helps girls develop life skills, so they can make informed decisions about their lives. The programme is split into the following components:
Outreach work:
Social Workers form 'Outreach Teams' to work on the streets of Mombasa during the day and night building trusting relationships with children and young people. Outreach sessions include Street Soccer where children play football and access first aid; Street Education sessions focus on basic numeracy and literacy and Mobile School – an interactive resource which builds children's self-esteem through play. The teams also provide Informal Counselling, where girls are introduced to female social workers and residential staff, building trusting relationships which assist with making the transition from the street to the residential centre smoother. Social Workers develop Care Plans with the girls before they leave the streets, ensuring a focus on SMART goals and contemplating change before they make the choice to work with us in a residential setting.
Drop in Centre:
The 'Drop In' Centre offers informal education classes delivered by qualified teachers, sport activities, creative arts, access to first aid, life skills sessions, a place to wash and a nutritious meal. Most of the girls have experienced significant levels of physical and sexual abuse, so essential counselling services and sexual health advice is offered as well as access to contraception.
Girls-only discussion groups focus on self-esteem, communication skills, relationships, sexual health and conflict. The discussion groups enable the girls to relate to other girls in their situation; to realise they are not alone and to lay the foundations of alternatives to this life.
This safe space for girls offers protection, safety and full support as they contemplate the changes they want to make.
Transition Home:
This is a safe nurturing environment for girls to live in whilst they recover from their time on the street or in prison.
The home provides the following to girls:
All basic needs including: nutritious food, clothing and health care;
Counselling to work through trauma and to build self-esteem and self-worth;
Informal education to support transition into formal education or build basic numeracy and literacy skills to live independently;
Support from Glad's House Social Workers and Teachers;
Girls who are pregnant or have babies have access to pre- and postnatal care as well as support whilst they learn about pregnancy and parenting.
Reconciliation/mediation will be available to children who have lived on the streets and their families to support them to return home if safe to do so. If it is not possible or safe for a child to return, Glad's House works closely with local communities to source appropriate foster care placements for girls.
We are currently seeking funding to support this much needed programme

Ladies and gentlemen, we're finally at the end game. We've still got another three tales to go, though.
Once again, the WiiWare version consolidates the last three into one large tale, which actually works well. The Crystals is a catch-all name, as this tale is the Gathering's Tale, and the latter two are Final Tale Parts 1 and 2. The Planet Eater is the subtitle for the very last tale.
So for each tale, you're given a choice whether to load data for it. If you don't import data, you just get default levels and equipment. Considering all that god damn grinding I did, there's no reason for me not to import everything.
As you can see, I still have data from my first playthrough a year ago. Weird that it's been exactly one year since I've done this.
So let's begin the insanity.
Last time, Edge and his followers landed on the airship with Luca, Rydia, and the Man in Black.
That's weird. None of my characters can cast Meteor yet.
Of course, every single chancellor around the world takes the opportunity to do what they do best: Panic.
You thought I was kidding about the game ripping off Majora's Mask, weren't you?
The overworld has changed greatly, as it's now darker and full of craters. If this were a better-written game, this would actually be terrifying and a well-done change of atmosphere. It'd let you know shit just got real.
So our gang decides to just pop back up.
What's going on here!?
We do not have the luxury of time.
How about starting by telling us who you are, for one?
Emergency full-forward!
Wh-whoa! What are you doing?
...What are you turning the ship for?
We're headed towards Baron Castle!
Scene change!
Sweet, now we'll get to see what happens!
Hello, Ceodore...Rosa, Cid... And most of all, Kain!
I think Golbez secretly is enjoying being the mysterious badass who's running everything. He's learned well from Fusoya.
Oh yeah, Calca and Brina stay behind. Glad I spent so much time grinding to save their asses if they're just going to stay at the ship!
First of all, the overworld music is the airship theme. It doesn't matter if you're walking on the overworld, the airship theme still plays. It's a bit weird.
Second of all, this is our team for this tale. For some reason, Edge's disciples and Luca's dolls are too busy doing jack shit to help out, so it's only these four.
There's a couple of issues here. One, due to the Jackass Four hogging all the experience, Edge is pretty underleveled. I was planning to give him the Giant's Glove and make him be a badass, but he's just too low a level to really do much for now. On the other side of the spectrum, Golbez is a beast and will destroy most enemies easily while taking minimal damage.
The other important detail I want to point out is that this team has no White Magic. Edge has his stupid Heal Pill spell that heals jack shit, and Golbez still has his Master's Staff, but other than that, we have to rely on items. But considering all items, equipment, and gil from all tales are pooled together, including the Economical Ring, we're pretty set in that front. Plus, as low as our healing potential is, we've got a wonderfully offensive party. Golbez is a beast, Luca's not bad herself, and if we can level Edge up he will also kick ass offensively. That, plus two people with Black Magic, and we've got ourselves one damn solid offensive front.
One last detail is that Golbez is still calling himself Man in Black, though he's not hiding that he's a Lunarian.
So I give Golbez the Obelisk and Giant's Glove, Luca gets Cid's Ogrekiller, and I throw the Gil Band and Palom's Intellect-boosting Polymorph Rod on Rydia just because. I later give Edge the Economical Ring, as even at his underleveled state he's still great for speed.
It's the same glow as the one coming from the Tower of Babil!
Is there no way for us to break through?
We must find another way inside.
Stop! Wait!
The good news is that we're not taking the Underground Waterway.
The Town of Baron's in bad shape. All the buildings are locked, and guards are wandering the area. Luckily Namingway is here to sell us good shit.
First of all, after combining everyone's items, I have 54 Ethers. Where the hell did all of those come from? But also, now we can stock up on X-Potions, which heal 2000HP each, 4000HP with an Economical Ring. That latter combination is enough to full-heal anyone for a very long time, and you can see how Edward can suddenly become a beast with such a set-up.
So talking to this guard forces a fight with a random number of Zombie Infantry, which are easy.
Battle-wise, Golbez is a beast, and Luca's levels let her outdamage Edge. Despite being 20 levels lower, Edge still outspeeds Luca and Rydia and hangs close to Golbez. Rydia's Bio helps Luca and Edge kill faster.
I try killing everybody but Edge and having him solo, but these guys hit too hard and accurately to really do that. It's much better to do it outside Baron.
No, it's all right! It's me, Luca!
It's such a relief to see all of you safe.
Do you know of my father, or of King Cecil?
We are in the midst of searching for them, but you know that stubborn old man better than I do. I'm sure he's doing just fine.
Yes... You're right!
Well, of course! But it'll have to wait a little while, all right? We need to wait for the sun to come back up in the sky, to shine on us.
Okay! You promise?
You don't actually get anything for coming here, but it's pretty neat to check in on old NPC friends.
Oh, thank goodness! You're still alive!
That voice...
It's Rydia, madam!
And what of Ceodore!? Is Ceodore with you!?
I see... I hope nothing's happened to him and Rosa...
There's no need to worry. He is Cecil's son, you realize.
He's right. I'm sure the son of Cecil and Rosa will make it through this...and I promise we won't rest until we find him!
Please... Please!
Don't worry, because I'm sure your grandson, WHO IS CECIL'S SON BY THE WAY, will be alright because HE IS THE SON OF CECIL DID YOU KNOW THAT. Ceodore can take care of himself because HE IS CECIL'S SON ARE YOU HEARING THIS NOT-GOLBEZ.
Oh yeah, this tale also has a collection gimmick. There are ~21 Small Tails scattered around the world. You need 14 to trade for a Rainbow Tail, which you then trade for something else. Unlike the Gold Tale, the end reward for this is very much worth it.
I let Edge grind around Baron for a bit. Edge can OHKO everything out here, and he dodges most of their attacks. He manages to catch up to L30 or so.
There's several tails just hiding in the overworld.
You actually get to use the airship this time. No simple marching through the Mist Cave. Not that you can, as the entrance to it is blocked.
That's three. Eighteen to go!
Might as well check out Mist.
Mother?
It must be the Mist Dragon's work...
The mist itself is protecting the village...
Rydia? Do you hear something?
Free the Eidolons?
Rydia...
It will be done.
So the objective of this Tale is to reclaim most of Rydia's Eidolons. You see, a few of them are all over the world being assholes for no reason. Titan's still stomping around Agart, Ifrit's found his way to Eblan Castle, and so on. Of course, while we're doing this, we'll also be running into a lot of future party members. So this tale is where we both reclaim some of Rydia's Eidolons and recruit everybody for the end game.
This tale is probably my favorite tale in the game, if only because it reminds me of one of my fonder FF4 memories: When you first get the airship and have the freedom to explore the world. The world of FF4 was much larger to me as a kid, and exploring the likes of Eblan, Troia, and Mythril with four swinging badass dudes was just fun as hell, even though it took me forever to figure out what to do next.
Here, you've got a weird forced party, requiring you to actually think sometimes in battle, and you're tasked with going all over the world. This is the only time you actually get such freedom in this game, and it's really nice to check in everywhere and see how everybody's doing, even know you know how everybody's doing since a fucking moon is about to crash into the planet and Eidolons are fucking shit up. I just like this part.
So, hey, now that we're at the only nonlinear part of this game, this is your chance to actually vote for something! Pick my next destination! I'll probably cover two an update, but vote for one to make my life easier and I'll choose the top two vote-getters.
Off the top of my head, pick one of these:
Kaipo, Troia, Eblan, Mysidia.
The other places require low effort or need to be saved for later, or I've simply forgotten them. I'll do two next update, the other two after, and then the rest in two or so more updates.
So yeah, enjoy this one whole choice!
