[opening narration]
Dr. Thomas "Tom" Horton Sr.: Like sands through the hourglass... so are the Days of Our Lives.
Sami Brady: You are insane.
EJ Wells: No, my dear. I'm a DiMera.
Sami: If I wasn't so mad at you, I'd have sex on the bar with you.
[EJ gives look slightly towards camera, as if he was speechless]
Victor: [To Nicole after Brady rejects her for Chloe] You know Nicole, at the end of the opera the rejected lover hangs herself. You'll let me know if you need any rope.
[John explains to Marlena that they are too connected to the serial-killer suspects]
John: Doc, listen. Sami is your daughter. Rex is your son. My son is living in Nicole and Victor's house. Kate is my employee. Lucas is Will's father. Tony is my half-brother and they're all suspects.
[Sami Brady is dressed as Marilyn Monroe]
Lucas Roberts: There she is, the star of "How to Blackmail a Millionaire" and "The Seven-Year Bitch".
Nicole: [to Kate and Sami] Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble - Salem witches in a huddle.
Jack Deveraux: I'll just be on my way. There are widows to fleece, mortgages to foreclose on, and heroines to tie to the track. Busy, busy, busy.
Mickey Horton: What KIND of gun was it?
Jack Deveraux: It's the kind that you pull the trigger and it shoots.
Nicole: Tell me, H, what is wrong with this picture?
Henderson: Madam, where should I began?
Bo Brady: Hold on. Just out of curiosity, have you logged any flight time in a jalopy like this?
John Black: It's been a couple years. Of course, the last time I flew, it didn't have as many doohickeys and gadgets, but that's a minor detail.
Bo Brady: Doohickeys and - I'm glad to see you're well-versed in the technical terms. I'm full of confidence. Not.
Sami Brady: [to Kate] I have a friend who is keeping an eye on Victor and Nicole for me.
Kate Roberts: You have a friend?
Tony Dimera: I would invite you back but I'm afraid you'll say yes.
[opening sequence: Salem police officer guarding Steve in hospital, doing crossword puzzle]
Policeman: What's a five-letter word for "enigma?"
Steven 'Patch' Johnson: What do I look like, Webster's Unabridged?
Bo Brady: [walking in] Try "Steve."
Sami Brady: Whoa.
Mimi: What are you doing here? Don't you have some rock you can climb under?
Sami Brady: That's not a very nice thing to say, Mimi.
Mimi: I don't have any reason to be nice to you. All this fighting tonight is your fault. You're the reason that Rex got mad at me, and you're the reason that Philip found out about Belle and Shawn being up on the roof together.
Sami Brady: Actually, you have no one to blame but yourself. If you hadn't gotten caught in all your lies, none of this would have happened.
Mimi: Oh, funny, you accusing me of lying when you're Salem's all-time champ.
Sami Brady: Look, Meems, listen up, if I were in your shaky shoes, I'd be a lot nicer to me - a lot nicer. In fact, I'd also be looking over my shoulder, too. Be very, very careful how you treat me, Mimi.
Jan: [to nicole, after killing victor] We killed someone! So now we're gonna go to hell!
Kristen: Where'd he go?
Vivian: This is no time to speculate. Accept your fate, finish packing, get the hell out of Sale...
Kristen: Oh, wait a second! Wait! If John's not here, it means he won't be here when Marlena arrives!
Vivian: Kristen, you are buying seconds, nothing more. Come with me now before it gets worse!
Kristen: Worse? What could possibly be worse than this? What could possibly happen?
[Austin confronts Lucas about his alleged drinking problem]
Lucas: I don't have a drinking problem... I have a Sami problem.
Sami Brady: [opening the door wearing an ugly bathrobe, thinking it's Lucas] Lucas! I hope you don't mind what I'm wearing.
Kate Roberts: What's that? The latest in sexy lingere... I'm sorry, I mean, you would look absolutely adorable even if you were wearing a paper bag, Sami.
[trying to keep the peace with Sami for Lucas' sake]
Sami Brady: I don't have time for this, you get your Botox butt and get out of... I mean, thank you, Kate for the sweet and sincere complement!
Kate Roberts: Hmmm, well I was just dropping by to make sure Lucas wasn't... to see if Lucas was here.
Sami Brady: No he's not, thank God!
Kate Roberts: Oh Really?
Sami Brady: Yeah, why don't you try his place. He's probably over there.
Kate Roberts: Yeah, well as long as he's not with you... I mean thank you for your help, I hope you have a really lousy... lovely evening, Sami.
Sami Brady: Well at least I don't have sex for money... oh I mean see ya next time, Kate honey.
Innkeeper: Where have you been?
Bart Biederbicke: Still looking for Deveraux... you seen any sign of him?
Innkeeper: He seemed to have vanished... how, I don't know.
Bart Biederbicke: All right, we got men posted at all the exits, all right, I hand-picked them myself, so you know they're plenty sharp.
Innkeeper: Even if he escapes the inn, at this time in the mountains, he can't go through. He won't go too far.
Bart Biederbicke: Good.
Jack: [Sneaking to the window after they leave]
[Quietly to himself, but directed at them]
Jack: Don't be so sure. You obviously never saw the end of the Sound of Music.
[as he jumps out the window]
[to Sami on the day of Doug's funeral]
Julie: Sami, if you're trying to make me feel better, it's not working.
[after disguising herself and stealing a document from Carrie's office in L.A]
Nicole: Oh, Nicole - that chick on Alias has got nothing on you.
[Shawn, Belle and Phillip on Mimi's lot for the first time]
Shawn: Well say something Phil. You like it, you hate it?
Phillip: I don't know man, it's kinda gloomy.
Belle: Oh no! Not you too! This is getting old.
Phillip: I'm serious. It is a sunny hot day, so why's it so dark back here?
Shawn: Seems to be the burning question, isn't it?
Belle: Would you two stop, okay! It's shade! You know how trees create shade by blocking the sun by their many branches and leaves. Even you two nincompoops can grasp that subject!
Philip Kiriakis: [to Belle] For as long as I've known you, you've had this old soul thing going, all wise and good, taking care of other at the expense of yourself...
Belle Black: Philip, you're making me sound like Yoda.
[Hope, who has just returned home, asks about Shawn]
Hope Brady: I haven't even met his roommate. What kind of name is Dozer anyway?
Bo Brady: Dozer isn't his roommate anymore. It's Rex?
Hope Brady: What kind of name is Rex?
[Recognition dawns on her]
Hope Brady: Wait, is that the Rex who is a genetically engineered human who was formerly an alien living in our garage?
Bo Brady: Yep.
Hope Brady: [sighing] Boy, I have a lot of catching up to do.
Belle Black: Sometimes guys don't think before they open their mouths and end up saying something stupid, which is why our brains have to work overtime.
Belle Black: Do you believe everything a beautiful girl tells you?
Shawn Brady: Well, I believe everything you tell me.
Belle Black: Good answer!
Belle Black: Why all of a sudden do I feel like the fourth member of Destiny's Child?
[after having a fight with her friends]
Jack Deveraux: Oh, that would only leave more food for you, wouldn't it? Not that you need it!
Eve Donovan: What's that supposed to mean?
Jack Deveraux: Well, you've been hitting the old feed bag a lot lately, haven't you?
Eve Donovan: Are you calling me FAT? You WIMP STRING BEAN! Do you hear that? Not only am I a thief, but I'm a FAT THIEF!
Hattie: Dr. Stiner will you help me? I'm putting myself in your hands.
Rolf: Hattie, there is too much of you to fit in my hands.
Nancy: Mimi, open this door.
Mimi: I can't!
Nancy: What's wrong?
Chloe: Maybe she's stuck.
Nancy: Mimi the door is locked from your side. Mimi, unlock it and open this door.
Mimi: I would if I could.
Nancy: Use your hands, they're not painted on.
Chloe: You never know!
Mimi: Oh my gosh. That wasn't, that wasn't shampoo, that was super glue!
[blood curdling scream]
Craig: What's going on?
Chloe: Boys! They're stupid, insensitive and annoying!
Craig: Congratulations! You're becoming perfectly normal.
[after Henderson disrespects her]
Nicole: I will have respect!
Victor: When hell freezes over.
Hope Brady: Gran, I wonder if Shawn even knows about the wedding.
Alice Grayson Horton: He saw my invitation, dear.
Hope Brady: Did he say anything to you?
Alice Grayson Horton: He was very hurt!
Doug Williams: Why doesn't that bozo wize up and realize that Belle is the one he loves before it's too late?
Julie Williams: Darling, please don't call your grandson a bozo!
Doug Williams: What else do you call a man who allows the love of his life to marry another man?
Alice Grayson Horton: [Jumping in] Doug Williams!
[Pointing a finger at him matter-of-factly]
Doug Williams: [Speechless at first] But I wised up eventually.
Hope Brady: Oh Dad!
Julie Williams: Oh, I think I'm gonna cry.
Alice Grayson Horton: Well, that's what weddings are for, I suppose, to support the tissue industry.
Julie Williams: No Grandma, not tears of joy... Belle is marrying the wrong guy, and everybody here knows it.
Alice Grayson Horton: Maybe she won't marry Phillip after all.
Rex: Mimi, I just got done talking to Shawn.
Mimi: And I just talked to Belle. But I don't care what they say, I still believe that they belong together.
Rex: You know what? You are going off the deep end here... you are going to have to let this go, okay, Belle is committed to marrying Phillip. And Shawn has told me he's ready to move on with his life so there's nothing else you can do.
Mimi: Don't be so sure.
Rex: Mimi, what are you talking about?
Mimi: What if I said that I could prove to those two that their whole breakup was totally manipulated... that Shawn was brainwashed into thinking he had lost Belle to his best friend.
Rex: Then I'd say you've been watching too much Daytime TV. Stuff like that only happens on... what, what's that show called? What is it, Passions? This is real life Meems, not some soap opera. And you're going to have to accept the reality that some relationships don't work out.
Mimi: I wish everybody would stop saying that. I don't have to accept anything. Shawn and Belle are my best friends and I'm going to prove to them that their love is written in the stars... that they're meant to be together... Just like us. I love you so much Rex, and I'm going to show you and everyone else that it's all going to work out... you'll see.
[talking about baby Claire's ailment]
Bonnie Lockhart: Babies can really surprise you. Your father dropped you on your head at least three or four times.
Mimi: That explains a lot.
Julie Williams: Wait. Should we call the police?
Bo Brady: I am the police. I got to check this out.
Doug Williams: [talking to Hope] Yeah. The old days, you were a teenager, and you were chasing after a bad boy named Bo Brady.
Bo Brady: And I was smart not to let you catch me.
Lois Banks: [to Marlena, crying] How many men do you need?
[At Chez Rouge]
Jada: So THAT's Sami Brady, the scandal-a-minute chick.
Sami: Haven't we taught you anything, there are crazies out there!
Will Roberts #3: I didn't have to leave Salem to know that.
EJ Wells: Well, you know the Salem Police Department - they never get anything right.
Bo Brady: Tell Marlena I love her.
John Black: Sorry Bo, she's taken.
[Sami is venting to a bathroom attendant to feel better]
Sami: I rarely ever have someone to talk to, you know, I'm just - talkin' to myself.
Victor: [to Kate] You know, for some one who loves their children so much, you certainly seem to do them a terrible disservice.
[Shawn tells Mimi that he wants to have all kinds of babies with her]
Bonnie Lockhart: Oh, Shawn, that's the most romantic thing I've ever heard a man say - in front of me.
Brady: Nancy? For a minute there, I - I thought I saw...
Nancy Wesley: Chloe?
Brady: Yeah.
Nancy Wesley: I passed a girl earlier that reminded me of her very much, too.
Brady: I admit, I've been feeling Chloe's presence here tonight. So I guess when I saw that girl, I thought I was having a Christmas miracle.
Nancy Wesley: It's understandable. Miracles do happen at Christmas.
Brady: Yeah, well, not for me. Chloe's gone. She's not coming back.
Mimi: [Coughing ] oh, mom, I didn't race home from green mountain just to breathe your second-hand smoke.
Bonnie Lockhart: I'm in big trouble, baby. I need all the help I can get.
Mimi: Why? What is going on?
Bonnie Lockhart: I told you on the phone. Patrick's back.
Mimi: So? How is that life and death? Mom, why are you even freaking out? Look, rex and I left a beautiful lodge with hot tubs and views that would knock your eyes out just so I could answer your S.O.S. What gives?
Bonnie Lockhart: Well, you know how your brother can be.
Mimi: I know how he can be when you provoke him.
Bonnie Lockhart: Mouthy. Both of you.
Mimi: I am really afraid to ask. What kind of screwed-up situation have you got yourself into this time?
[Nicole has just finished telling Lucas that Eric is stalking her]
Lucas: Oh wait, you know what I should do? I want to give you a number, the guy's a private security investigator at Titan. I want you to call him
[Gretta approaches]
Lucas: if Eric continues to stalk you in anyway.
Gretta: Is that what you told him Nicole - that Eric is stalking you? My God how could you lie that way after you came to my house and got down on your knees and begged me to help save your marriage to Lucas. What the Hell is really going on here?
Vivian Alamain: I'm soon going to be Mrs. Forty-Nine Percent of Titan!
[to Kate Roberts in University Hospital]
Nancy Wesley: I guess even whores get demoted.
Mimi: Wait, I live here! You get out! Go!
Bonnie Lockhart: I am not going anywhere until you get some sense. First of all, you are too young to get married.
Mimi: Oh, so it's okay for you, but not for me.
Bonnie Lockhart: No, it wasn't okay for me. That's what I'm trying to tell you, if you'd just listen!
Mimi: Oh, here we go. Poor bonnie got stuck having to feed three little brats!
Bonnie Lockhart: It was hard work! Don't you let anyone tell you that it's easy, missy, raising kids. It's the hardest work you'll ever do. But I have no regrets in having you, Mimi. You are my pride and joy. You are nothing like me, and you are nothing like your rat-fink father, either! Don't you think I know how ashamed you were of me? Don't you think I know that you just wanted me to disappear? But as crummy as I looked, I always made sure that my little girl had some new clothes to wear for the start of school every September - a new pair of shoes or a brand-new sweater.
Mimi: Want to know what I remember? All the times you forgot to come for me at all. And I'd have to call belle's dad to come pick me up, or I'd just have to walk home by myself.
Bonnie Lockhart: And do you know where I was when I was forgetting all about you? Huh? I'll tell you where I was. I was hustling, working my butt off juggling two jobs because Mr. Wonderful that I married couldn't even hold down one. Does your sexy rexy have a job?
Mimi: Rex is brilliant. He could do anything.
Bonnie Lockhart: Yeah, just what I thought. No job. Some mutant alien who arrives in Salem in a space pod. No, no, no. Mr. Rex dimera Brady whatever the hell his name is, he is not who I have been dreaming of for my little girl all my life!
Mimi: Nice, mom. You're all about the money. You didn't give a damn about the "space pod" when you thought rex was a rich dimera. No, then you were hiding our condoms so I'd get pregnant so he'd have to marry me.
Bonnie Lockhart: I've always been resourceful, that's true. You can't wait around for life to come and get you. You've got to go out and grab it. But all rex thinks about is a new way to get you into bed!
Mimi: Could you give him a break? He just lost his sister, and Tony, the man he thought was his dad.
Bonnie Lockhart: Please! Give him a box of tissues and the want ads, for crying out loud!
Mimi: Oh, my god! That is so cruel! His family was brutally murdered, mom!
Bonnie Lockhart: That's another thing. You spend way too much time with a man whose family is targeted. It's bad luck!
Mimi: The worst luck I ever had was being born a Lockhart.
Nicole: [to Sami] You always lose, but you never accept it.
Billie Reed #3: [to Kate] For once in your life, just be quiet, and mind your own damn business.
Nicole: [Brady has just finished telling Nicole he is going to search for Philip] Who do you think you are, G.I. Joe?
Jan: That's it, Mimi. I have had enough. I'm gonna tell Rex that you had an abortion.
Mimi: No, you won't. Your threat is your power over me. You won't give that up.
Jan: A threat can turn into a bomb and blow up your life, unless... unless you do what I say and keep Shawn away from Belle.
Mimi: Okay, fine. Do whatever you want. I obviously can't stop you.
Sami Brady: [Thinking ] Mimi got rid of my little brother's baby? I wouldn't wanna be her when Rex finds out.
Jan: Okay, watch as I go downstairs right now and tell Rex you killed his kid.
Mimi: You don't know what a hard choice that was for me to make, Jan.
Jan: Rex was the daddy. Why are you the only one that gets to choose?
Mimi: I did it for him!
Jan: And I'm sure he's gonna believe that. Ow!
Mimi: Ow! Ow.
Sami Brady: [Thinking ] Ouch. Someone got bitch-slapped. But who?
Mimi: You're going to keep your mouth shut, Spears. If I find out that you told Rex, you'll get way more than a slap on the face.
[Roman suggests that Sami and Will should not visit the penthouse until John has Brady under control]
Roman: It'd not just this one incident; it is not just a couple of beers. You told me yourself Brady has been acting up.
John: Yeah so because he's acting up, your going to tell Sami she can't see her mother? Will can't see his grandmother? It doesn't matter what the Hell they want? Is that what we are talking about?
Roman: First of all, they can see each other some place else, all right? But the fact is Sami is my daughter.
John: I mean God love her, she is a perfect kid, now isn't she?
Roman: Boy, that's nice, that's nice, you say that about the girl you raised the one you tell me that you love like your own.
John: What I am saying is that Eric and Sami were the perfect kids.
Roman: [laughs] And you are saying that's because of you, right? J
John: I'm saying that I didn't have any trouble with them.
Roman: Well good for you John, now about my wife.
John: Oh so this is what this is all about...
Chloe: [Thinking ] My darling Brady, you were so close to me tonight, I could almost feel your breath on my cheek. I felt like I could just reach out my hand and go back in time... to a moment when I was your whole world, and you were mine. I thought of revealing myself to you. I wanted to believe in the power of enduring love - that your feelings for me would be even stronger than before - that you would kiss my face and still see the beautiful girl you fell in love with. But I came to my senses. It's too much to ask... even from a man as wonderful as you. I can't let you know I'm alive until the doctors reconstruct my face exactly the way it was.
Chloe: [Aloud ] Then finally, Brady, we'll be reunited in our love.
Bonnie Lockhart: Aah! Aah! Aah!
Mimi: I can't believe - I can't believe you did this to me!
Bonnie Lockhart: No! Aah! Mimi, Mimi, I-it's not like you to be violent.
Mimi: Rex asked for my hand in marriage, and you turned him down. What do you expect me to do, hug you?
Bonnie Lockhart: I want - I want you to be happy more than anything.
Mimi: Bull! You want me to be rich so you can be rich.
Bonnie Lockhart: You can't be happily married if - if you don't know where your next meal's coming from, baby.
Mimi: Excuse me? Excuse me? Bonnie Lockhart is giving marriage tips? You don't know the first thing about being married or being in love.
Bonnie Lockhart: That's right, I don't. I drew the short straw when I married your good-for-nothing father, but I want better for you, baby.
Mimi: Mom... I finally have a guy who loves me, he's good to me... and you're so jealous...
Bonnie Lockhart: Jealous?
Mimi: You could spit.
Bonnie Lockhart: Jealous?
Mimi: Yes. Yes. You try to make it sound like - like everything you do is for me and Patrick and Connor, but it's a big fat lie. You're out for number one, and if that means having to steal from your own kids, then oh, well!
Bonnie Lockhart: I can't believe you think so badly of your own mother.
Mimi: You're not my mother.
Bonnie Lockhart: Yeah, you want to see the stretch marks? Huh?
Mimi: No, I don't want to hear it! I don't want to hear it, not - not the 20... hours of labour, not the 30 pounds you gained. I'm through. I'm through letting you guilt me. I never - I never want to see you again. Leave me alone.
Mimi: I shouldn't have said what I said.
Bonnie Lockhart: [Blows nose ] Is that an apology, baby?
Mimi: Don't push it.
Bonnie Lockhart: [Blows nose ] Gosh, when I - when the waterworks get going, it's kind of hard to make them stop. Oh, baby, we shouldn't fight. We should be the best of friends.
Mimi: I have a best friend - belle.
Bonnie Lockhart: [Scoffs ] Belle. What kind of best friend steals your guy right out from under your nose?
Mimi: What are you talking about? I'm in love with rex.
Bonnie Lockhart: You just think you're in love with him. It wasn't so long ago you were hot for that Kevin.
Mimi: Oh, that thing with Kevin was very... casual. The only reason I ever liked him was 'cause he was the first boy to pay attention to me.
Bonnie Lockhart: That's not how I remember it. Trip to Paris ring a bell? You got your first kiss from Shawn Brady on that trip.
Mimi: Oh, mom!
Colin: Hello, Nicole.
Nicole: Buzz off!
Abigail "Abby" Deveraux: All I want is for my Mommy and Daddy to be together.
Nancy Wesley: [to Craig after he has just had it out with Lexie] I'm glad you told that Lexie almost-ex-Carver off. She needs it once a day.
[Kate gives Nicole flowers after she just heard the news that Nicole cannot have children]
Kate Roberts: If you put some fresh water in here, plant food, they should last, oh, three or four days - about as long as your relationship with Victor.
Lucas Roberts: [to Nicole] I'm really sorry about the wedding. I know you were looking forward to saying, "I do" to Victor's fortune.
Sami Brady: [to Lexie] I just want to make it clear that Brandon is no longer available to be your knight in shining armor. If you're having problems figuring out your life, watch Dr. Phil.
Mimi: I'm not interested in crashing anybody's first date. I'm not going to hold the ring box while you propose to Belle. I'm not going to be in the delivery room when she has your first kid. This threesome, it's officially splitsville.
Shawn Brady: Whoa, whoa! Ring box and delivery room? Are you nuts?
Mimi: Women know the future, okay. Guys don't know diddly.
Belle Black: I see us as the Bo and Hope, or John and Marlena of the new generation.
Jack Deveraux: Well thank you for dropping by Emilio! We always appreciate anything, anytime. Any kind of criticism from our remedial reading public!
[Mimi asks to move in with Jan because she is afraid to live with Chloe]
Jan: My parents are freaks Mim's, they can hardly stand their own kids living with them!
[Shawn fooling around with Belle at Salem Place]
Shawn: Oh no! This is bad! Maybe we could rush, you have a hair out of place. Maybe if we get to the salon in time, they can fit you in for a little touch up. This is really...
Belle: You are impossible.
[Brady overhears Chloe's request to go to Juliard]
Chloe: Nobody puts down my singing, I have a great voice and everyone thinks so!
Brady: Yeah! Who thinks so? Mommy and Daddy is that who?
Craig: There are a lot of things you don't know about Chloe.
Brady: Yeah well, I know that when she sings she has zero emotion. Yeah, she can hit the notes fine, but her interpretation sucks!
Chloe: YEAH! Well interpret this!
[threatens to pour ice water on him]
[Phillip is on his way to make up with Chloe]
Phillip: Just hope this works.
Nicole: Yeah, well, you know if it doesn't, you bring the guitar back and I will beat her over the head with it!
Phillip: It is always good to have a last resort, right?
[Brady surprises Belle with hitting the couch with a baseball bat]
Belle: Very funny Brady, remind me to laugh. Can you please practice outside I am trying to study.
Brady: What was my bat doing in your room?
Belle: Like you care. You haven't used it since little league.
Brady: Yeah, well, it is still mine, not yours!
Brady: Yeah, at least I don't go kissing up to people and thinking I am God's gift to this family and world. I don't pretend I'm perfect Belle. Going around bragging about Charity soft ball games and good grades.
Belle: Yeah, well, at least I'm not a loser.
Brady: Your a phony.
Belle: Your a dooface.
Brady: Airhead.
Belle: Jerk.
Brady: Sell-out!.
Belle: FREAK!
[Hattie at Tuscany's for the first time... encounters John]
John: Quit starring at me lady or I'll have you picked up for harassment.
Victor: I've found out a lot about Dimera's parents.
Bo: I've never thought of him as having parents. That makes him seen human.
Gretta: Nicole first of all you are the most immature coward and secondly if I believed I was ANYthing like you, in ANYway, I would slit my wrist.
Gretta: Oh! I know Nicole, a lot more then I wish I did!
Chloe: No thank you. I think I will join the carnivores at another time.
Phillip: Let me take you out for a medium rare filet mignon at Tuskony's sometime. You've got to start with the best, Baby.
Shawn: If you want the best BABY. Let me make you a steak on my dad's grill, corcoalled to perfection.
Phillip: Yeah! If you like eating on a paper plate at a picnic table!
Shawn: Hey! I've got a view of the water from my backyard!
Phillip: Mine has a pool and a hot tub.
Mimi: And my home is still a hole in the ground. When do you think it will be ready?
[Nancy on her (and Marlena's) fate]
Nancy: Oh Marlena! I see such a big future for myself! Oh! Oh! Oh! and for you too of course!
Marlena: Well, I am sooo glad you have so much faith in... Us.
[Nancy's first encounter with Hattie, who has called into the Dr. Marlena Show]
Nancy: Look we don't take calls from ignorant, abusive people on this show.
Hattie: And who are you calling ignorant?
Nancy: Listening to Dr. Marlena might improve YOUR I.Q.
Hattie: Now you hold it right there sister! You tell that shrink that the Dr. Marlena Show is D.O.A - Dead on Arrival - Dummy on Air - Discontinue or
Hattie: Alse!
[Nancy shares advice on the radio show]
Nancy's Note: NEVER dress up like your daughter!
Marlena: Uhhh... Nancy you are very helpful, but having you put up signs during a broadcast is VERY distracting!
[Nancy admiring Marlena after the first radio show]
Nancy: I have been taking calls from some pretty pathetic people. And Marlena I admire your patience, some of those people, i would just tell them to get a life!
[Nancy on the job]
Nancy: The Doctor Mar... I don't care what you are, you're on the air now!
Marlena: This is Dr. Marlena, how are you?
Nancy: Marlena, you are going to be BIGGER then Frasier Crane!
Shawn Sr: Whatever you do, you don't go blabbing to the family over there. These are all innocent people. I don't want their lives put in danger because of some cockamamie scheme of yours.
Bo: Hold on. I'm not going to put anybody's life in danger. Why do you say things like that?
[Nancy entering the radio station for the first time]
Nancy: Good afternoon troops! Ugh! You're not going to wear that...
Marlena: Nancy, it's radio, they won't see what we are wearing.
Nancy: I realize that Marlena, but perhaps you should familiarize yourself with the aphorism "You are what you wear". We want cheerful, we want bright, that's my motto!
[Gretta talking to Austin about the Nicole and Eric situation]
Gretta: You were the one who wanted me to sit down and talk. you wanted to make sure I was okay. Well to be honest with you, Austin, I was much better before I saw you!
Nancy: [to Craig] You know, sweetheart, I have never really liked that rickety old Alice Horton, always dropping by the hospital to spread her sunshine. And those doughnuts she brings in that everyone raves about? I tell you, I have tasted better in the day old rack at the truck stop.
Lucas: I love you.
Nicole: Get over it.
[after Nancy and Craig's scheme to look good by inviting the Lockhart's to move in with them backfired, Nancy hissed]
Nancy: You're the one who wanted to look like Lord Bountiful. Now those filthy people are going to be living in our house.
Lucas: If I live to be one hundred, I will never understand women.
[after Mimi witnesses a fight between Nancy and Chloe]
Mimi: Your precious Chloe is very musical Mrs Wesley. Whatever tune she plays- you dance to it.
[during an argument, Shawn mocks Belle's trendy hairstyle, which involves two sticks on top of her head]
Shawn: I guess your strange hairdo is affecting your brain.
Belle: [defensively] These are cool.
Shawn: I guess those chopsticks were in there in case you got hungry for some lo mien.
[after Marlena tells him he must have mixed up the faces he saw]
John: You think I don't know the face of my own wife?
[in Italy, Sami's choice of clothing limits her selection of beverages]
Franco: Sami, you're making me nervous, I mean, with your pacing. Why don't you sit down and have a drink?
Sami: Have a drink? Are you crazy? I can't have a drink while I'm in a nun's habit. Maybe I'll have a double espresso or something.
Franco: Great, that should calm you down.
[Tek is accusing Marlena of being the serial killer and is pumping John for information]
Brady: Can someone get a word in edgewise?
Hope: Please do.
Brady: Marlena was poisoned by the killer just like you almost were. I just thought I'd mention that since alibis don't seem to matter much around here.
Hope: John, are you okay?
John: No, I'm not okay. You've lost your father, Brady's lost his grandfather, I've lost friends... REALLY GOOD friends... I wish I could help you but I can't. I CAN'T name your killer.
Nicole: Why does getting away with murder have to be so difficult?
John: (to Brady) I don't know who the killer is, son. But when I do I swear to you, I will make sure she NEVER kills again.
Victor: I won't let you tear my family apart!
Nicole: I won't have to, your grandson's gonna do it for me.
[in Marlena's fantasy she shoots Shawn and Belle starts screaming]
Marlena: Stop it, Belle, stop it! Stop WHINING! Ever since you were a baby your whining drove me CRAZY!
[on Nicole's "poor me" act]
Victor: It didn't work for Anna Nicole and it won't work for Ditzy Nicole.
Victor: You devious little bitch.
Nicole: Drop dead! Oh, wait, you already did.
Nicole: (to Victor's ghost) Don't you have an attic to haunt with your precious Caroline?
[Brady walks in during Nicole's conversation with Victor's ghost, whom he can't see]
Brady: Nicole, who're you talking to?
Victor: Go ahead and tell him, Nicole, he already thinks your nuts.
Victor: Nicole, if you do anything to hurt ANYONE in my family I'll see you in hell!
Nicole: Bring it on, old man.
John: You're the love of my life, Marlena, but you're a killer.
[Bo and Stefano, after John's disappearance]
Bo: The woman in the water was Hope... the Hope that you turned into Gina.
Stefano: Are you sure?
Bo: [sarcastically] No, I just like hearing myself say that!
[they kiss passionately - Gina thinks of John while she kisses him, and for a moment believes he is]
Bo Brady: I know Hope... intimately. And the way you just kissed me. Don't get me wrong, on a scale of 1-10 it was... right up there... but it definitely wasn't Hope.
Hope/Gina: I really think there's something wrong with you, Bo.
Bo Brady: With me.
Hope/Gina: Yes, you, Bo "Everything Better Stay the Same or Else" Brady.
Abe Carver: Don't blame someone else for setting the trap that you were stupid enough to walk into.

Hattie: [to Lexie] And you! I bet you've never met a cheeseburger! Shame on you!

[she runs out of the room with them]

Sami Brady: From the waist down!

Belle: [to Shawn] This says Philip isn't Claire's father. You are.
Philip Kiriakis: Thanks for letting us fly with you, John.
John Black: Don't thank me. It wasn't my idea.
Shawn-Douglas Brady: You know what? For the first time in my life, I'm glad that my dad is biologically a Kiriakis.
Belle Black Kiriakis: Why would you say that?
Shawn-Douglas Brady: Because, otherwise, we would be related. Your grandmother is a Brady, remember?
Belle Black Kiriakis: Oh, my god. I never even thought about that. Actually, that makes me more of a Brady than you.
Celeste Perrault: Samantha, Kate's one mission in life is to discredit you.
EJ Wells: [to Kate, about Sami] Let's face it, you may be the greatest meddler in the world, but she is the greatest liar.
Victor Kiriakis: [to Bo and Hope] What were you two *thinking?* Next time you go up against the mob, let me help, alright?

Kate Roberts: [as Lucas confronts her with information given by Daniel] What do you care? What do you care if it's true? Look what they did to you.

Nathan Horton: [after Melanie catches Maggie red handed lecturing Nathan about her] It's my first night back, I should get ready.
Maggie Horton: Go, go... keep in mind what I said, OK?
Nathan Horton: [looks back at both] Yeah.
[finishes walking out]
Melanie Layton: This is the box you wanted right?
Maggie Horton: Yeah, that's it.
Melanie Layton: Of course it had to be the one in the furthest corner of your basement.
Maggie Horton: Oh dear. Sorry about that.
Melanie Layton: No you're not.
[Maggie's uncomfortable smile quickly drops to a frown]
Melanie Layton: You were trying to get me out of the kitchen so you could talk about me behind my back, right?
Maggie Horton: Melanie...
Melanie Layton: I mean that's what you were doing, isn't it?
Maggie Horton: Yes.
Lucas Roberts: You know what, Nicole, you really do have it all, don't you? A beautiful baby, a rich fiance, and a bitchy attitude.
Stephanie Johnson: I know what's it like to be with someone whose family doesn't share the same values.
Nicole Kiriakis: Well, my family didn't have any values so there's no problem there!
Hope Brady: Lucas seemed completely clueless.
Bo Brady: And has been for quite some time. You questioned him about going to Daniel's apartment, right?
Hope Brady: I did, I did, he and Chloe went together, found a woman's scarf on the floor.
Bo Brady: Chloe's?
Hope Brady: Probably. He didn't recognize it, told me he thought that Daniel was seeing someone trying to keep it from Kate.
Bo Brady: He *was* seeing someone and he wouldn't be in jail right now if he HAD kept it from Kate.
Hope Brady: You think she did it?
Bo Brady: Yeah, I know, I know, "don't... jump to conclusions," but it pans out a hell of a lot better than the doc doin' it
Hope Brady: You booked him, right?
Bo Brady: Yeah, orders from on high. You mind going down and overseeing the booking?
Hope Brady: Sure, no problem. Does he have counsel?
Bo Brady: Victor sent down his criminal lawyer.
Hope Brady: Victor's criminal lawyer? HE should have lots of experience.
Bo Brady: Yeah...
Hope Brady: [opens door to leave with Victor there to walk in] Ah! Speaking of the devil...
Victor Kiriakis: Hope.
Hope Brady: Hello. You've had a pretty busy night, haven't you?
Chloe: [after Daniel leaves room, leaving her to break uncomfortable silence] Look I know you're not happy about this.
Victor Kiriakis: Oh, how astute of you.
Chloe: Hmph. Look, you know that Daniel and I are getting married so why would you object to us living together?
Victor Kiriakis: I don't object per se. I just didn't react well. You see, To put it simply, I said I would keep an open mind, I think that's how I put it. It doesn't stop my gut feeling.
Chloe: That you don't trust me, you mean?
Victor Kiriakis: You're fickle, insubstantial, disloyal by nature. You eat men up and spit them out.
Chloe: Wow, tell me what you really think.
Victor Kiriakis: However...
Chloe: Oh, well, at least there's a "however."
Kayla Brady Johnson: [answers cell phone] Hello, Roman. I am here with Ava Vitali, and I suggest you get over here as soon as you can before I kill *this* bitch.

Celeste: What about your last name?
Scottie: Yeah... No... Where am I?
Lexie Carver: You know, Sami, if I didn't hate you so much, I'd genuinely feel sorry for you.
John: That's a fact.
[Eric, Nicole, Austin and Carrie are having dinner together. Their dinner discussion turns to Sami and Franco]
Carrie: Franco could have any woman he wants. What I don't get is why he wants Sami.

Modern-day pilgrimage made world headlines this fall when Saudi Arabia deported more than 1,000 Nigerian Muslim women for attending the annual Hajj without male chaperones.
Nigeria has sponsored its citizens to undertake the religious ritual—required once in a lifetime by Islam if health and money allow—since its independence in 1960. This year, it sent nearly 90,000 pilgrims. But overshadowed is the fact that the oil-rich West African country also sponsors Christian citizens on their own pilgrimages.
An estimated 30,000 Christians visited Israel, Rome, Greece, and Egypt between October and December. (While the government sponsored many of the trips, churches and nonprofits backed others.) Thanks to increased awareness and funding, this number has skyrocketed in recent years—tripling since 2010 and up from 2,000 a decade ago. Until last year, the government had only sponsored Christians' trips to Jerusalem; the city is still the preferred destination for 80 percent of the travelers.
Many Christians in Africa's most populous nation take huge pride in being pilgrims, adding the title Jerusalem Pilgrim, or the initials JP, to their names.
The Nigerian government sponsors pilgrims on the premise that they experience spiritual re-births and return better Christians and better citizens, said John Opara, executive secretary of the governmental Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Commission (NCPC). "Pilgrimage is serious business, and not a travel jaunt as envisaged in some quarters."
But now church and government officials are working to assess whether pilgrimage actually delivers on this promised return on investment. To answer the question, the commission will subject pilgrims to a series ...1

Since I'm typing this one handed at 2:00 am on my phone. It will be short and sweet.
Lots of folks keep asking if I'm going back to DOOL. And I did go back for a quick show. And I also had lunch with Ali Sweeney and Patrick Muldoon, which really got the rumors to swirl.
Patrick for the first time in 15 yrs said he would go back to Dool. So, only time will tell if these rumors become a reality:)
Happy Holidays! Enjoy this special time of year!

Are you worried about your performance review?
For many Indian companies that follow the financial year through March, the appraisals are just a few weeks away.
These appraisals should ideally be based on an employee's year-round performance, but let's face it: managers, like the rest of us, will start by looking at what you did most recently. So your most recent work can have a big impact on your appraisal.
This means there's still time to improve the outcome of your performance review. Here are some tips from human resources experts on how to do that:
1. Self-appraisal: In order to improve your performance, you need to figure out where you fell short in the previous nine months.
Employees should find out what was the gap between their performance and the company's financial and strategic goals, says Sucheta Shetty, vice president of human resources at TAKE Solutions, a software services-provider in Chennai. "Don't wait for the manager to come and tell you" where you have been lacking, says Mr. Shetty.
So, make a list of the company's objectives in the year, what was expected from you, and what you didn't do. Also, avoid the same mistakes when you work on new projects.
2. Damage control: The next step is to identify what can be done in a short period time to improve your standing.
For instance, if there are 10 things you failed to complete properly, pick a few to focus on.
When deciding your priorities, it might help to choose goals you can meet by March. What's even better, is to take on projects which have a "visible result," such as an immediate financial impact, says Simran Oberoi, a Bangalore-based advisor at trade association Strategic Human Resource Management.
These are easier for your manager to remember while evaluating your work, says Ms. Oberoi.
3. Think long-term: At this time of year, managers are not only thinking of the year gone by, but also about goals for the next financial year.
Keeping this in mind, you can even consider taking on new projects. Even if these may not produce results immediately, it's good to show you are thinking of the company's good for the year ahead.
Also, come up with ideas and new initiatives for the next year, which you can discuss at team meetings. Talk to the manager about what you aspire to learn in the next year or projects you have an interest in.
Thinking long-term also makes it clear to your manager that you plan to stay with the company for a while, and a good manager can use this knowledge to help you achieve your personal goals with the company.
4. Interactions: Many companies nowadays rely on 360-degree feedback, in which even your colleagues' assessment of you counts.
It's always good practice to engage your colleagues professionally, seeking advice from them and, in turn, volunteering to help them out.
You should also be meeting your manager regularly. If you don't do that often enough, make sure to set up at least one meeting ahead of your performance review. Discuss what you've already achieved, inform the manager about your plans for the next few months, and ask him or her for what else you should be focusing on.
And keep your boss updated on your progress, says Ms. Oberoi of Strategic Human Resource Management.
5. Preparing for the talk: Even if your performance review is a few weeks away, it's not too early to start preparing for it.
If you've identified mistakes or failures that can't be set right in the next few weeks, prepare to explain those mistakes to your boss.
Understand "how and why" the projects you took up ended up failing, says Rajeshwar Tripathi, Mumbai-based chief people officer of the automotive & farm equipment sectors at Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd.
Be ready to admit your mistakes, but show that you determined to fix them.
Make sure to have facts and figures handy to challenge unfair accusations you did something wrong, says Mr. Tripathi.
It also helps to keep ready a list of all the things that you did right in the year gone by, so you have something positive to say when the manager doesn't.
Readers, share your tips on how to improving a performance review in the Comments section.

TSA: Protect agents, don't arm them
Following the first deadly shooting of a TSA employee in its 13-year history, the agency is rejecting calls to arm its workforce and is instead asking local and airport police to protect its security screeners.
A 26-page report, obtained by POLITICO before being released Wednesday, recommends a consistent law enforcement presence at both security checkpoints and ticket counters during peak travel times.
Story Continued Below
That would address one lapse that played a role in the November attack in which prosecutors say 23-year-old Paul Ciancia opened fire with an assault rifle in Los Angeles International Airport's Terminal 3, killing TSA officer Gerardo Hernandez and wounding two of his colleagues. Two airport police officers assigned to the terminal were reportedly on break at the time. (One bystander was also injured.)
Months earlier, LAX officials had decided to have officers patrol entire terminals instead of standing guard at checkpoints. The decision put them in line with most airports around the country: According to a chart included in Wednesday's report, only 51 of the 447 airports that the TSA protects station law enforcement at security checkpoints. About a quarter of them — 118 — don't have any police officers directly assigned to the airport.
"Following the incident at LAX last year, which shocked and saddened us all, I ordered a comprehensive review of policies and procedures at LAX and airports across the country," TSA Administrator John Pistole said in a statement. "The report released today outlines the actions TSA took immediately following the shooting and new procedures to enhance the safety and security of TSA employees nationwide, especially those who work on the frontlines each and every day to protect the traveling public."
The report drew praise from the nation's airports, even if it recommends changes to many of their security plans. The TSA said it consulted with dozens of trade organizations and outside groups in developing the recommendations. White House national security staff participated in two meetings developing the plan.
"We appreciate TSA Administrator Pistole's initiative to work collaboratively with ACI-NA to develop practical security enhancements to mitigate active shooter situations such as the tragic event at Los Angeles International Airport last November," Airports Council International-North America President Kevin Burke said in a statement.
Rep. Richard Hudson (R-N.C.), the chairman of the House Homeland Security transportation subcommittee, praised the report's flexibility and said it's still up in the air how exactly the agency should provide the additional security at checkpoints. He said setting minimum staffing levels or a maximum response time could be options.
"I think it's good at this point that they haven't been prescriptive," he said. "I think that's one of the bigger questions we need to look at."
While the agency held more than 100 employee town halls after the LAX shooting, the agency rejected a pitch from the American Federation of Government Employees, which represents TSA screeners, to create a new class of employee with the ability to carry a gun on duty.
"As to creating a new law enforcement cadre or deputizing [transportation security officers] to carry out law enforcement functions, the Administrator does not believe that adding more guns to the checkpoint by arming TSOs is the solution and [believes] that it raises jurisdictional and cost issues," the report concludes. It adds that all but one interest group — presumably the union — thought armed agents were "inadvisable."

Anyway, I'm just here to tell you I've just started a new site. It's not going to be another Mummy Mayhem. I couldn't do MM again. It'll be a little different, and on a smaller scale.
But I am back on the merry-go-round. Sort of.

Guam's history is shaped by more than three centuries under Spanish, U.S. and Japanese control. The Spanish laid claim to the island, but the island was ceded to the United States in 1898. In 1941 the Japanese invaded and occupied the island until U.S. forces retook it three years later toward the end of World War II. All these influences have contributed to the diverse and colorful culture found here.
• Geographic coordinates:
• Capital: Hagåtña
• Territorial bird: Ko'ko — Guam Rail, a native flightless bird.
• Territorial tree: Ifit, a dense, reddish hardwood.
• Territorial flower: Puti Tai Nobiu (Bougainvillaea).
• Climate: Tropical marine; generally warm and humid, moderated by northeast trade winds; dry season from January to June, rainy season from July to December; little seasonal temperature variation.
Now that you've moved to a new place, you'll want to find a home that's right for you. Here are some key tips when you're looking for a home on Guam:
Identify and prioritize what you are looking for. For example, let your realtor know what you value most: a central-location, proximity to work, a reasonable price, comfort, safety, family, friendly, etc. Your realtor will narrow down your list for you and select the top choices according to your interests so you won't have to look at more than five to 10 places.
Explore neighborhoods to discover "for rent" signs besides what's listed with realtors. Driving around also helps you spot issues before you move in - such as packs of stray dogs, heaps of uncollected trash and whether the area becomes a pool during heavy rains.
Finding a job on Guam can make you feel lost if you're new to the island and don't have personal connections.
Without friends and family who may be able to refer you to a possible job lead, start with the Internet. There are at least four reputable sites that you can start with that will help you connect with an employer.
Advances in technology for phone, online and TV services have led to more and better choices for consumers on Guam.
One of the most attractive features offered by some of the island's communication companies are bundled packages. Residents can choose to have multiple services such as television, cellular phone service, Internet and landline phones all on one bill.
With Guam's media and telecom companies embracing faster and multi-faceted platforms, consumers have plenty of options for services and pricing.
On Guam, getting around isn't as easy or practical as hopping on to the next available public bus, or taxi.
And walking to and around the business and commercial districts can be a safety risk without sidewalks in some areas and with crosswalks miles apart in some places. Guam also has limited bike lanes, and sudden rain might make biking to work a challenging daily routine.
With Guam's mass transit system needing improvements on routes, frequency and reliability, chances are you'll be late for a job interview if you rely on it.
So to go on a job hunt, and to keep your job when you do get one, you'll need a car or find someone who's willing to car-pool.
Some employers require that you have your own car as a condition to accepting a job offer.
If you're on a budget and don't have established job and credit history to qualify for a car loan, your best bet is to scour classified ads, such as on www.guampdn.com. In addition, you'll see, along Marine Corps Drive, some of the used-car car lots. On less-traveled but still busy roads, such as Routes 8, 10 and 16, you may also find parked cars being sold by individual vehicle owners.
Driving your first Guam car means you'll need to know how to get a Guam driver's license, get your car insured and register the vehicle.
When moving into a new home, hooking up utilities is something at the top of your to do list. But before traveling to each of the necessary offices, make sure you have everything you need so you don't have to make multiple trips. One thing you need to sign up for any Guam utility or municipal water service is proof of your new residence. This can come in the form of a property deed or mortgage agreement. If renting, bring along a proof of lease arrangement accompanied by a current landlord's authorization for utility services. It is also a good idea to have photo identification with you when applying for any new utility service.

There are several things parents should consider when choosing a day care for their children.
One of the most pressing concerns is cost. Many day care centers have a variety of options to accommodate parents' schedules and budgets, including part-time rates and payment plans.
Another thing to consider is licensing. Parents should ensure the day care they choose meets legal requirements: day care centers should be licensed with their staff certified.
As of 2011, staff at the island's day care centers are required to undergo a physical exam every year to ensure they're in good health.
Whether you're living here temporarily or making it your home, Guam's the perfect place to lie on the sand and soak up some sun. Guam's coastlines are covered with beaches worthy of barbecuing, diving, snorkeling and more. Here are some tips and things to consider when enjoying the beach.
Some of the beaches have pavilions that can be reserved for gatherings. Call the Department of Parks and Recreation's Park Reservations division at 475-6288. There is a minimal deposit to reserve your space, as well as a refundable mandatory cleaning deposit fee.
Eating on Guam can be an exciting and delightful, especially for those with an adventurous palate and a love for hot and spicy, or "pika," foods.
Here, food ranges from vaguely familiar to dishes unique to this part of the world, providing a truly unique dining experience.
Fiestas are a great way to get a glimpse of the flavors of Guam. Held each month in the different island villages, you're guaranteed to see a seemingly endless buffet table lined with local foods including kelaguen, pancit, red rice, tamales gisu and more.
The fiesta is a popular way people on Guam share their culture. An event typically tied to the celebration of a village's patron saint, Mass and a procession are followed by a fiesta, which is a great way for newcomers to Guam to enjoy local tastes shared with warm hospitality.
Here is a list of each village's patron saints and the time the fiesta is celebrated.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21 (UPI) -- Almost 1 million U.S. households with incomes above 130 percent of the poverty level were receiving food stamps in 2011, the latest report shows.
Politico, analyzing data from the Food and Nutrition Service in the Department of Agriculture, reported the number had risen to 980,000 last year from 290,000 in 2008, more than tripling. The percentage of food stamp recipients with relatively high incomes doubled from 2.3 percent in 2008 to 4.7 percent in 2011, but far more people are enrolled in the program after three years of a struggling economy.
Republicans blamed President Obama during the campaign for the increase. But Politico suggests a major reason is that governors relaxed the rules to help state residents through hard times without further straining their own budgets.
The dollar cost of benefits to those with incomes above the 130 percent of poverty level has risen even more from $171 million in 2008 to about $1 billion in 2011, Politico said.
The food stamp program will be an issue as Congress and the president deal with deficit reduction and in debates on a new agriculture bill, Politico said. Rep. Collin Peterson, D-Minn., the ranking Democrat on the House Agriculture Committee, has proposed setting eligibility at 135 percent of the poverty level.
Peterson also wants to eliminate a minimum $16 in monthly food stamps paid to those who do not qualify for more aid. He argues that $16 a month is not going to be of any great help to anyone while administering the tiny payouts adds enormously to government expenses.

Had a bit of a chuckle at Matt Dunning partially selling a dummy there towards the end. A solid win first up though, i thought Gregan, Sharpe & Elsom were our standouts. Good to see Barnes get his debut over and done with in the first match, so if he is called upon later on against one of the stronger teams he's (hopefully) not overawed.
Edit: A big FFS at the scrums during this game though, was sooooooo frustrating. I honestly don't think there was 1 scrum that didn't get reset at least once.

Yeah i'd agree, but it doesn't make it any less frustrating.
Thought Japan played really well in the first 30 minutes. I can't beleive they fell away that much. Barnes looks good, hopefully he never goes back to league.

The bit that probably frustrates me the most though is when in my eyes the scrum seems fine (i.e hasn't collapsed ) and the ref stops it. It all stems from me not understanding all the rules i spose...
Go the Canucks!!!
Can't really see it, but hope springs eternal.
Canada where brilliant for w while, but they have fallen away and things are not looking good
Canada have had a good dart at it, but Wales' superior fitness has been telling. Thomas & Jones coming off the bench really turned the game tho.
Cracking end to that Japan Fiji game.
Awesome first half. Our defence has been outstanding, and the backline is really clicking well in attack. Barnes & Mortlock have been fantastic, and if Mortlock isn't the best centre in the world atm i'll eat my hat. Breaks the line soooo often, and is awesome in defence. Good to see he got back at Thomas for his cheap shot on Barnes.

It's a brave new world.
Oh, to be five again! Sneakers tied and metal lunchbox in hand, we trotted off to school ready to learn. And on the agenda was a fun-filled day of play. We learned our letters, numbers, shapes, and colors. We even learned how to get along. (And Ronnie learned not to eat the glue!) Today's five-year-olds still trot off to school ready to learn, but rather than spending the year learning how to do school (like we did), they spend the year learning how to read. This is why we developed Land of the Letter People—to teach the foundational skills children need to become strong readers, while stimulating their imaginations and creativity.
A standards-based, classroom-tested, comprehensive kindergarten curriculum, Land of the Letter People successfully immerses children in reading and writing across the content areas and prepares students for success with today's more rigorous standards.
- Thematically organized
- Explicit instruction integrated across content areas
- Strong home-school connection
- Oral language and listening skills
- Phonological and phonemic awareness
- Word building and vocabulary development
- Writing and spelling

you can't go back. go home and start againMonday, July 29th, 2013 | tags: Android, apple, apple fanboy, error, Google, metro, phone, RANT, software, toilet, user experience |
<RANT WARNING – Apple fanboys, and people who love positivity should leave now>
Over the last 3 years I've been lucky(?) enough to have 3 different smart phones as my main phone:
- HTC Desire (Android OS)
- Nokia Lumia (Windows OS)
- iPhone 5 (Apple OS)
I'm very disappointed with the iPhone5. I want to revert to the Nokia. I was unimpressed by the Nokia but not to the extent that I wanted to give up using it within the week.
The reasons I dislike the iPhone would all be easily uncovered by usability testing with new users, so why do they STILL exist in version 5? Doesn't Apple test it's products with people switching from other smart phones? Maybe Apple doesn't know because it doesn't bother to test, maybe it knows but doesn't think they're worth fixing?
The problems I'm encountering are the sort of thing that should have been fixed by version 2, or for Microsoft – version 3. if the company prioritised input from users other than Apple fan boys who appear to live in a world that lacks perspective. My 5 main problems were discovered within the first hour of using the iPhone:
- No 'back' control – you have to go to 'home' and then navigate forward to where you were. Android has a hardware back button and Windows has a software back button. All the browsers I've ever used have got a back button. You never have to 'start again'. Arrrghhhhhhh! It's hellishly inefficient and irritating. It affects virtually everything I want to do on the phone unless the app provider has included either an ever-present software back button or easy in-App navigation. Apple has effectively offloaded the overhead of designing good navigation to App providers which will result in diverse navigation methods, more effort for the user to learn them. That's not good.
- No service detected. OH MY GOODNESS! After putting in the SIM card, there was no service. I first assumed that I'd put the SIM card in the wrong way. As soon as I removed the SIM the phone said 'No SIM detected'. So the problem wasn't with the SIM placement. I rebooted the phone. SIGH. No service. I showed the phone to a local, patient and peppy, Apple fanboy, who used his psychic Apple-fix-it skills and called my number. MAGIC. It wasn't displaying that it could receive a signal, yet the phone rang and I was able to answer it! Bizarreness. The service signal strength was now showing on the phone. Unreliable OS messaging of hardware capabilities? That is, the hardware had detected a service but the Apple display hadn't been updated to show this. What were the Apple test team doing when they set up tests that would let a product with this problem get released? Over the next few days I soon got into the habit of using my Windows Nokia phone (same service provider) to call my i-Phone so that the display would update to show the service signal. HOW CRAP IS THAT?! More than a double face-palm. I tried a more traditional technique to get the signal to display – rebooting the phone. SIGH. The irritating thing about rebooting the phone to get a service signal is that I have to login to my iApple account again (see problem 3 below), and then the service signal isn't always re-displayed. I've tried shaking the phone and wandering around the office space. More out of desperation and frustration.
- ALL CAPS LETTERS ONLY on the keyboard display, even when you're typing in lower-case! Really poor visual feedback on what case to expect the keyboard to produce. I use a lot of passwords where there is a requirement for UPPER CASE letters and only a temporary view of the typed letter before it turns into a dot. This meant that not being able to 'see', by looking at the keyboard, which CASE the letter is going to be typed in was a pain. I had to look at the shift key, which has only a subtle 'brightness' contrast change and is covered by my finger that's pressing it. Lack of this feedback results in my having to be more careful entering passwords, and have to retype passwords more frequently. My 'new' Apple ID had to be reset 3 times because I couldn't work out if I'd miss-typed the ID or just tried to enter the wrong ID. When creating the new password using "I-Forgot" – blame me why don't you! – I got more "Passwords don't match" messages than on any other phone I've used. This is an easy OS software change, why haven't Apple bothered to fix this obvious usability problem?
- Not connecting to my home wireless. I've tried about 8 times. The phone can detect my wireless and offers me a password entry field. I've retyped and retyped the network key but for some inexplicable reason the phone is unable to join this network and wont even hint at why. Just tells me it's failed. At least it takes responsibility for this failure.
- No CAPS LOCK. Both Android and Windows have good simple software solutions for this behaviour, which I'd learnt. An Apple fan boy explained to me that I should keep one finger on shift and type the letters with a different finger. No problem from his perspective. Another Apple fan boy told me a double-tap acts as shift-lock and that she only found out how to use her iPhone with multiple lessons from her daughter. This is only a miner discovery detail, but when added to the other issues for someone trying an iPhone after having used Android or Windows OS's, it's yet another poor design feature that implies lack of user-care by the OS development team.
From my perspective the Apple iPhone OS behaviour is clearly less elegant with more user effort overhead than both Android and Windows. I'm surprised, I expected to love it.

Travel light, travel right, travel with one backpack. Travel photography is inspiration and exciting, but easy to get carried away for what to prepare for the trip. Of course it'll be fantastic to take all your kit abroad, but why? Try to streamline as much as possible, having less stuff to schlep around and less things to go astray in worst case. Roll your clothes for more space! With 2 important attributes of packing correctly:
- Weight for carryon- Airlines have different rules for carryon, which most a 10kg
- Size for carryon- Check for Airlines rules, I did it with Deuter Futura 38 AC (35L or lower will fit)
My backpack+ another day bag for camera gears (either Lowepro Flipside 200 or Think Tank Streewalker)
I will put my clothes at the bottom, socks, undergarments on side pocket, toiletries on top pocket
then i slot in my day bag into the middle.
Slot in like this, easy for airport inspection, you just have to pull out the middle kernel. This combination, fit right for carryon, size and weight.
When I travel, I do it to experiencing the raw culture of the country, more than just taking pictures of things. You need to experience and understand only then you'll be able to capture the essence of the culture (them), a deeper perspective. I usually take it slowly, one of the reasons I usually travel alone. Photography is an artistic pursuit, but I will prioritize on my movement. I am a travel minimalist, I usually take one body, one lens (sometime 2), if I have enough space, I bring along a film camera. Shooting with one lens, it saves you the hassle of plugging in and out your camera, it forces you into meticulous observer mode, it turns you into approachable of things, then you'll find juxtapositions or contrasts.
I worry less about which lens to bring, which body to take, I am not on assignment, and this is travelling for godsake! Nikon D700 with 50mm f1.2, I worry less about missing rare photographic shots, I should bring this, I should bring that, blah! So how do I pack lightly? Here are some guidelines, not rules.
- Plan your trip with research (Weather, Festival/ Event, Travel photo- to know what to expect)
- A day bag to hold your camera gears (i use either Think Tank Streetwalker or Lowepro Flipside 200)
- Cut down on camera accessories, take what you need!
- Reduce selection of clothes, unless you're going for fashion show. Are you?
I paid a hefty "price" to fine tune these travel minimalist for years. I'd been over trips bringing the whole drybox, then down to one film body with 50 f1.2. I bring everything and subconsciously I thought I must be able to capture everything! Little did I know, I didn't enjoy my trip at all, it was a disaster.
My favorite combination, D700 50 f1.2 and a bonus 20 f2.8, sometimes, a Nikon FE.
- No more gear acquisition syndrome, OCD.
- Master a single focal length, your eye is your lens.
- It helps you on the creative side, with discipline!
You are unencumbered and free to enjoy the atmosphere, people and culture without feeling like packhorse, worry less about security. You can free your mind from having to think about what perspective and lens to take a scene, but you find the essence in details. With one lens, and sufficient experiences, your eye naturally looks for composition that fit before even looking through the viewfinder. Over a span of 4 years, I did this in several occasions, Beijing, Tianjin, Melbourne, Tasmania, Bali, S. Korea, Yogyakarta, Krabi, Ho Chi Minh, Siem Reap, Hong Kong, and Yuanyang.
HOW I DID IT? Here a list of what I bring (exclude winter vacation):
- Camera Gears- in day bag (Lowepro or Think Tank)
- Nikon D700
- Nikon FE with 2 extra film rolls (if enough space)
- Nikkor 50mm f1.2
- Nikkor 20mm f2.8
- LEE Filters (0.6, 0.9, Big Stopper)
- 2 extra batteries (Battery charger in big backpack)
- 3 extra 16gb CF card
- Cable release
- Clothes & misc.- in big backpack (Deuter)
- 1 pair of shorts
- 1 pair of jeans+ belt (wearing onboard)
- 1 long sleeve shirt (wearing onboard)
- 1 pair of boots (wearing onboard)
- 5 tee shirts
- 1 pair of flip flop
- 4 pairs of socks
- 4 pairs of undergarments
- Tripod (I'm using Benro C0680T)- travel angel!
- Universal adapter & phone charger
- Toiletries & medicine
For winter vacation, I will check in my backpack (with winter clothes), carryon camera bag.
Lowepro Flipside 200 fits in Nikon D700, Nikkor 50mm, Nikkor 20mm, 3 Lee filters, 2 extra baterries, 2 16gb CF card, cable release
If you wish to fall into my trap, you should know what you're dealing with. Life and photography, a compromise but it needs to be hard decision. Zoom lens like 18-200 it covers 90% of the shots but do you found joy in this depressing bokeh? Bokeh is my prime, I adhere with discipline, so I keep my 50mm on most of the time, but what happen if I shooting landscape, I'll just do panorama stitches, and sometime Brenizer method. Keep it simple, find the balance, focus on what you can control. There is no right and wrong, minimalist or what not, this is an article on my packing flow, there are thousand of sites on different recommendations, find the one that suits your needs. I want to be light and free, this is imperative to me, not for everyone.
What's your balance of travel?
Live, Travel, Adventure, Bless, and don't be sorry.
Enjoy the road of life, Happy Travelling 2014!

http://youtube.com/v/PSH0eRKq1lEPretty certain Scotland the Brave is the bagpipe tune in at least the preview, although I'm not sure about the show preview - whether this will hold any significance later remains to be seenAlso, haggis is a Scottish delicacy which involves wrapping potato, meat, onions and other spices/ingredients in a sheep's stomach (which is what teams are stuffing all those ingredients into) - its usually eaten as a New Years' thing but can be eaten at any time of the year, and it's also incredibly unhealthy!
I don't think the Speed Bump is in the same place as a Detour choice. Speed Bumps are (almost) always in the same exact point where the sign is.
Quote from: David. on April 22, 2013, 04:33:24 PMI don't think the Speed Bump is in the same place as a Detour choice. Speed Bumps are (almost) always in the same exact point where the sign is.But that can't be true since the Speed Bump sign is at Craigmillar Castle whereas the actual Speed Bump is at The Sheep Heid Inn :/
From what I see in the pictures, I think all teams will have an equalizer somewhere else and the "3 hours" that J/M and M/B have on the preview won't mean what they are supposed to mean. If this was recorded in November-December, Scotland is a Northern Hemisphere country and I think daylight only exists until 5:30-6:00 pm at most. And I am not seeing that happening in the images (or else it is a pretty quick race), its seems that everyone will be on the same plane or in planes that land really lose to each other. Having said that, unless they spend the night in some place, I believe that teams will be all in the same air flight. So, I think we are again somehow "blind" in who is u-turning who. Well, maybe we have a clue that Max and Katie got U-turned, due to the "tears speaking by Max" (or they are just as lost). This leg will really define if the further spoils are correct or not, it seems the biggest gap to understand the full picture.

In the past three years, states passed 205 restrictions on abortion—more than what passed in the entire previous decade. But pro-life groups are split over whether some laws, especially new ones focused on fetal pain, cede too much ground.
The National Right to Life Committee (NRLC) jettisoned its 43-year Georgia affiliate after Georgia Right to Life (GRTL) encouraged federal legislators to vote against the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. The national bill, which would ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy, was heavily backed by NRLC and passed the U.S. House 228–196 last June. It currently sits before the U.S. Senate.
GRTL opposed the bill because it includes exceptions allowing abortion in the cases of rape, incest, or danger to the mother's health. Cleveland Right to Life supported GRTL's policy, saying the group's only fault was being "too pro-life." (NRLC severed ties with the Cleveland chapter last year over its opposition to a NRLC-endorsed, pro-life senator who supported same-sex marriage.)
The national bill is similar to laws passed in about a dozen states so far. Several of them face legal challenges. Federal courts have blocked fetal pain laws in Georgia and Idaho, and in January the U.S. Supreme Court decided not to reconsider a ruling that struck down Arizona's version.
But the list of bans is growing: On July 1, Mississippi will be the latest state to ban most abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy. In early May, another fetal pain bill bounced around South Carolina's Senate, while West Virginia legislators attempted to override a governor's veto.
The bills are an attempt to humanize the abortion debate, said Mary Spaulding Balch, NRLC's ...1
