The Grand Poobah's report from the Michigan woods: I'm still out here flashing back for my memoirs. We drove to nearby Sawyer to load up on groceries for one of my recipes for The Pot; we're having the neighbors in for dinner. It is impossible to visit Sawyer without my assistant, Carol Iwata, visiting the soda fountain at Schlipp's Pharmacy. Here she's just finished slurping up a chocolate milk shake made with chocolate ice cream. If you look hard you can see the pharmacist in the mirror.

Michael Mann is one of those select American directors who has become a brand name -- not by marketing himself, but by making movies so distinctive and with such visual fluency that they are immediately identifiable as Michael Mann films. With the release of the darker-toned feature film version of his candy-colored 1980s television series "Miami Vice," we look back at what Roger Ebert has written about Mann and his movies over the years.
Two images of the Virgin Mary came my way last week. Both of them caused me to think about their messages, which is the purpose of holy images.

The authors recommend that a system of expanded access to clinical trial data apply to trials of all approved prescription drugs, medical devices, and biologics; and treat all trial sponsors and qualified data requesters evenhandedly. It should have mechanisms to ensure that all sponsors and data users adhere to minimum standardsfor example, rules should specify what must be shared, and data users should commit to following a scientifically sound analytical plan. If sponsors are permitted to influence which data requests get granted, they should be required to apply explicit decision criteria and publicly explain the reasons for denials. Using an independent intermediary organization to make those decisions, however, may be preferable.
"As in other areas of health care, the push for greater transparency in the area of clinical-trial data appears inexorable," the authors wrote. "The question is not whether, but how, these data should be broadly shared. The potential risks to research participants and trial sponsors must be thoughtfully addressed in the design of any new data-sharing system but need not block progress toward achieving the promise of 'big data' in the clinical trials context."
"The European Medicines Agency has hastened to impose regulatory mandates for data sharing, which may indeed be needed," said Mark Barnes, a partner at Ropes & Gray LLP and the Harvard faculty co-director of MRCT, "but such mandates need to be carefully considered, to avoid harms to participants and to preserve commercial incentives for i

How Does Cryotherapy Work?
Cryotherapy is the use of extremely cold temperatures at minus 110 degree celsius to aid in the treatment of a wide range of injuries and conditions.
Cryotherapy works by cooling the entire skin surface; this stimulates the temperature receptors in the skin to communicate with the brain resulting in constriction of the peripheral blood vessels redirecting the blood to the core of the body to conserve heat.
Once the treatment is over the same blood is pumped vigorously back around the body. The enhanced blood supply that Whole Body Cryotherapy stimulates increases the oxygen and nutrient supply to areas that need revitalizing.

Frequently Asked Questions for Cryotherapy
- Is Cryo for sports people only or can Cryo be used for other conditions other than sports injuries?
Cryotherapy has been proven to help many conditions such as arthritis, stress, anxiety and much more (Please see brochure).
- Do I go in by myself or with others?
When you book in for Cryotherapy you may be booked in with someone else. We can put up to four clients at a time through Cryotherapy. People often find the procedure easier when doing the 3 minute session with others.
- Can I go in with crutches or a cast?
It is no problem to go in with crutches or a cast.
- Is there an age limit to use Cryo?
We allow people as young as 14 yrs old to use Cryo. Clients under 18 yrs old must be accompanied by an adult.
- How many Cryo sessions do I need to do?
It is recommended for clients to do 3 sessions of Cryotherapy in the one day. This is to make sure you get maximum benefit from the treatment. You may do 3 sessions a day for up to four days. Each client will differ depending on the extent of the injury or condition and their own reasons for using the treatment.
- How long do I need to leave between each session?
You must leave two hours between each session but you may leave longer if it is needed.
- What can I do between sessions?
The only restrictions between sessions are not to use the sauna, steam room or Jacuzzi if you are using the Cryotherapy for injuries. We recommend against this as there is an extreme temperature difference and will counter act the cold treatment.You may use the gym, the hotel also boasts excellent bar food and restaurant and as we are in the centre of town there is plenty to do.
- Can I stay longer than 3 minutes?
No, for health and safety reasons 3 minutes is the maximum time allowed.
- Can I come out of the treatment before the 3 minutes is up?
Yes you may leave the Cryotherapy rooms before 3 minutes if you are uncomfortable with the treatment.
- How often can I use Cryo?
You may use Cryo as often as you feel necessary. Clients may do 3 sessions each day for 4 days. The amount of Cryo treatments necessary will depend on your reason for using Cryo.
- Can I use the thermal suite and get treatments while I am there.
You may get treatments in the spa but you must be completely dry of all oils before you use the Cryotherapy, so we would recommend these after your treatments.
- Can I use the treatment if I have pins or plates?
Metal pins and plates are fine once they are under the skin. Metal plates that are outside the skin surface may be a contra-indication.
- What will I feel during and after Cryo?
The client should feel numbness in the legs and tingling in the skin after they come out of the chamber this should subside after about 2-3 minutes. Some clients may feel a sensation of heat coming back into the arms and legs this is normal and is only the blood returning to the limbs.

Click here to read an article on the Cryotherapy Clinic published in the Irish Times (Health & Family), September 2013
"Cryotherapy helped speed up the recovery of both hamstring and groin tear. Felt fresh and energetic afterwards and slept well really well. Use of the Cryotherapy significantly reduced level of pain from both injuries". Pain relief was major benefit of using the Cryotherapy, recovery time accelerated hugely now I have a good chance of playing in the next two weeks" "over the moon with the results".
Harry Kehoe, Wexford County Hurler May 2013

Oh! That was unexpected! but highly welcome of course!
It would be nice if you could make this mod compatible with CNC3 New Experience. Moddb.com
The primary aim of this mod is to get away from the current gameplay which for the most part involves spamming tanks. We are introducing gameplay that requires, scouting and using a variety of units to be successful. Tanks are not the do-all units anymore, instead you need artillery units to take out defenses, tanks to take out artillery units, air units to take out the tanks, and AA units to take out air units. It's basically bringing Rock-Paper-Scissors to the game which we believe makes it more challenging and interesting. We're also making the factions' abilities exclusive. By that we mean only Nod use mines (so no APC mine drops) and they are also the only ones that use cloaking technology. The same applies for GDI who use more EMP now etc. We think this better defines the play styles of the factions so that you aren't just playing each faction more or less the same way.
It's been a long time but version 1.3 of the mod is close to being ready for release.
Posted by TalonH4wk on Jan 27th, 2013
We're pleased to finally be able to say that version 1.3 is very close to being done! We've had some challenges getting the mod to this stage, which is why it has taken so long, but we're hoping to get the mod out very soon.
This version of the mod makes some very noticeable changes to the game. The TALON Mod has always been a mod for people who want to have the most challenging and yet balanced C&C3 experience, and this new version will have some of the most dramatic changes yet.
We do have a Steam group now if anyone plays CNC3: TALON Mod on Steam. Steamcommunity.com We haven't promoted it much up until now, but feel free to join if you want to play the mod with others. 1.3 will come with an installer that installs the mod on Steam versions of the game.
We'll be posting details soon along with screenshots, so watch this space!
Oh! That was unexpected! but highly welcome of course!
It would be nice if you could make this mod compatible with CNC3 New Experience. Moddb.com
We'll check that out. Thanks.
Steam group, eh? Very interesting...

Ever lost 5 lugs from 1 tire on the way to work? Check this out...
Yup, got to work, noticed a lug nut with half a lug that had broke off sitting in the parking lot. grabbed it to toss it out of the roadway so nobody would get a flat and once it was in my hand I thought wait a minute, that looks like the ones I have on my truck. Walked the lug/lug nut to the nearest tire and realized there are only 3 lug nuts holding that tire on my tuck.
Needless to say the rest of that day my mind was on how to fix my issue! I am not a wrench head, but I got it fixed by 10PM.
Tapped out all existing lugs, bought and installed new lugs and new lug nuts (pretty tough without having a press). Cost was about $60 because I couldn't really wait for parts and Alaska is super expensive.
Good thing is there is not a ton of damage, nobody got injured and I learned a whole bunch. Before this I was totally unaware that doing brakes was as easy as it is. Hell yeah, I am fixin to do all my own brake jobs from now on.
How many miles on your truck? I lost 4 on the L-rear a couple months ago and all 8 on the r-rear a week ago. My truck has 480K on it so I just assumed they were old and fatigued. I always torque my lugs to 148ftlbs. When I get new tires I take just the rims and tires in. I will not let a impact wrench near my wheels. Had to many warped rotors caused by it. I plan on changing all the rear ones on the 02 I just bought with 490K on it in case they are fatigued too.

Lee's perspective is interesting because he's a former police officer in Vinita. As an attorney, he became frustrated with Claremore's practice of requiring that requests for a dash-cam video be made through the district attorney's office. The police department determined which videotapes to provide to the DA. "They (prosecutors) can only give me what they've been given," he said earlier this year.
Now two courts have cleared the way for easier and greater access, although Claremore's police chief says he hopes the Legislature will "take a look at this loophole" in 2014. Here's hoping the Legislature does nothing of the sort. If anything, lawmakers ought to revisit a bill passed in 2006 that exempted Oklahoma Highway Patrol dash-cam videos from the state's open records laws. There's no reason to have two sets of rules for law enforcement.

She oscillates between her usual incarnation, the ideal GuileHero every DistressedDude and {{Damsel|InDistress}} who becomes [[WeHelpTheHelpless her client]] dreams of, and the flawed, somehow manipulative master of the HannibalLecture, DoubleEntendre and intimidation and cause of [[InnocentBystander Innocent Bystander]]'s FreakOut she can [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope become]] when she [[WellIntentionedExtremist thinks she acts for the best, but misses the point]]. She usually does the right thing, and always is a really tough heroine, though she's hardly the kind to put HonorBeforeReason.Her team has included [[TheCharmer Stephen Finch]], [[TeamDad Harrison]] [[RagsToRiches Wright]], {{A|mbitionIsEvil}}bby [[TheConfidant Whelan]], [[MysteriousPast Huck]] [[ShellShockedVeteran With-No-Last-Name]], and [[TheCutie Quinn]] [[BreakTheCutie Perkins]], with occasional help (or opposition) from [[VitriolicBestBuds David]] [[HeroAntagonist Rosen]], US Attorney for the District of Columbia. A large part of Olivia's life revolves around [[StarCrossedLovers President Fitzgerald Grant]] and his [[TheGovernment administration]]; Olivia's on-and-off affair with the President complicates her personal life, to say the least, as the government's conspiracies and cover-ups cast a long shadow across the entire Family Pope and its MysteriousPast.The series is notable for being written by Shonda Rhimes, [[Series/GreysAnatomy like a certain well-known medical series]], and being one of the few dramas featuring a black actress as the main character. It is also highly feminist in content, with numerous strong female characters and very little reliance on traditional characterization or storylines. The cast is also very active on social media such as {{Twitter}} and {{Facebook}}, and participate in live-tweets, Instagram pictures, and podcasts about the series.Most recently renewed for a fourth season. Has a [[Characters/{{Scandal}} Character Page]] that could use a little love, Gladiators!----!!! Tropes found in ''Scandal'':* AbortedArc: The whole thing with [[spoiler:Cyrus being a secret evil mastermind seems to have been dropped in exchange for Hollis Doyle. Cyrus is still morally ambiguous, but no more so (or at least not much more so) than Olivia at this point.]]* ActuallyThatsMyAssistant: In "Top of the Hour," Abby is mistaken for Olivia by Sarah Stanner. * AllThereInTheManual: Olivia and Abby being friends in law school was first mentioned on the Scandal ABC website. It was not confirmed on screen until "Inside the Bubble."* AlternativeForeignThemeSong: The opening theme for the Japanese dub is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peSv2s_mqb4 "Weather Report"]] by SCANDAL.* AmbitionIsEvil: Mellie. She does not take too kindly to Fitz wanting to willingly give up the presidency, demands to be included in security meetings, and there is no love lost between her and Fitz. She also clearly has designs on building a formidable political career of her own once Fitz's term comes to an end. She also falls out with Olivia as she believes the Amanda Tanner scandal could have been prevented if Olivia had not broken off her affair with Fitz.* AngstComa: Olivia briefly enters one in "Truth and Consequences."* AntiHero: The whole cast, except perhaps Quinn (who probably qualifies as a ClassicalAntiHero instead), Abby even more so.* AntiVillain: Cyrus, whose motivations are nothing less than the good of the nation and UndyingLoyalty to his friend President Fitzgerald Grant. These, however, also lead him to KickTheDog [[spoiler: and even outright murder.]]* ArmouredClosetGay: Sully St. James.** [[spoiler:Sally Langston's husband]] to a somewhat lesser extent.* TheArtifact: Virtually all of Olivia's team besides Huck is now more-or-less useless to her other than an extra pair of hands to help sort through files. The dark centered plot the show is headed makes their wacky character shticks rather out of place, and only Huck has any knowledge or capability that doesn't leave him completely over his head.** Olivia's "gut" was something that was frequently mentioned during season one, and how her intuition is ''always'' right. At least it was long enough to prove to the audience that she is quick thinking and a very good judge of character. But by season 2, it is pretty much only mentioned when discussing how "her gut is broken" these days. By season 3 her magical intuition is no longer referred to, and her near godliness has been thoroughly de-emphasized.*** Olivia's "gut" returns in "Ride, Sally, Ride." Fitz overrides it to pick Andrew Nichols as his VP running mate. It turns out Olivia's gut was right even if she didn't know why: [[spoiler: Andrew is secretly in love with Mellie.]]* AscendedExtra: Tom Larsen and Hal Rimbeau started as Fitz's Secret Service detail in the first season. Tom became a full-fledged recurring character in Season 3 and 4 when it was revealed [[spoiler: he is B6-13's man in the White House]].* AsYouKnow: Averted and invoked in "Hunting Season." When Cyrus shows Fitz that Olivia and Senator Edison Davis are meeting in public, he starts to say "Didn't they..." Fitz snaps "I don't need a history lesson, Cyrus." Later on when talking to Olivia, Fitz says Edison [[spoiler:used to be Olivia's fiance]]... which Olivia would obviously know. * TheAtoner: Olivia wants to do right by her clients, but especially the ones who are women caught in infidelity scandals. Those hit a little close to home for her.* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Olivia. On a metafictional level, [[http://zahrawithaz.livejournal.com/35477.html#cutid1 this great thing]].* BadassAdorable: Quinn eventually gets there.* BedmateReveal: At the end of "Hunting Season," [[spoiler: David and Abby]]. It is revealed after the two... uh, finish.* BetaCouple: Starting in season three, [[spoiler: David and Abby]]. They seem to handle extreme situations better than the other couples.* BewareTheNiceOnes: Quinn, again. Olivia too, if Abby's story of Olivia ''beating in her abusive ex-husband's kneecap'' for her is true.* BitchInSheepsClothing: It takes six episodes, but [[spoiler: First Lady Mellie Grant]] reveals herself as this, [[spoiler: lying to the entire nation about a miscarriage to save her husband's campaign]]. It's interesting, however, that [[spoiler: the sheep part isn't unnatural for her, as she does have issues of her own, and seems to be more than a little TroubledButCute]].* BlackmailIsSuchAnUglyWord: In "State of the Union," Olivia does not want to work for the White House anymore. But Cyrus deposited money into her account to get a popular married couple to show up at the State of the Union. Cyrus just sees it as paying Olivia (way) in advance, and he will notify the IRS if she doesn't do the job. ** David attempts blackmail in a later episode in order to counter the judge getting bribed, and it does not go as well. [[spoiler: David blackmailed with information about a drunk driving homicide so the judge would uphold a contentious gun control law. The judge agrees, David is a hero, then the judge commits suicide.]]* BookEnds: Season 3 [[spoiler: starts out with Eli pressuring Olivia to get on a plane that will take her to a new life away from everything. [[BreakTheCutie After the extremely trying events of the season]], she takes him up on it during the finale]].* BreakHisHeartToSaveHim: ** Invoked by Olivia to save *both* [[spoiler: David and Abby from Hollis Doyle]] without either of them knowing about it. She had Harrison do it and didn't tell him why. Whether Harrison did it out of loyalty to Olivia, his friendship with[[spoiler: Abby]] or to get a bigger office is nebulous.** Invoked by name by Rowan/Eli in Flashbacks in "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner." This is why Oliva broke up with [[spoiler:Edison Davis]] some time before the first episode.* BurgerFool: A popular fast food chain called "Gettysburgers" is mentioned often, with their food and special deals named after people and events of UsefulNotes/TheAmericanCivilWar. The fourth season revealed their employees dress like Civil War soldiers, but only in Union blue.* TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler: After roughly a season of not being seen, [[EvilAllAlong Billy Chambers]] is revealed towards the end of season two to have been "Albatross", a mole that has been causing the Grant administration problems for most of the season.]]** Leo Bergen made a surprise reappearance in Season 4 after the end of Season 3.** [[spoiler:Stephen comes back in a season four episode to save Olivia from her captors.]]* BusFullOfInnocents: Played horrifyingly straight in the Season 4 finale "You Can't Take Command." An entire bus-full of innocents are killed. [[spoiler: The bus was full of the grand jury for David's case against B6-13 Rowan had them all killed, including the driver and the security guards. TheReveal at the end of the episode ups the stakes: Huck killed them all at Rowan's behest.]]* CallBack: In "Enemy of the State" Abby says she would follow Olivia "over a cliff." In "White Hat's Back On" Olivia tells Fitz that her team followed her "over the wrong cliff."* CallForward: In "Hunting Season", we see Huck has a collection of watches. The importance of this collection is not revealed until flashback in "Seven Fifty Two." [[spoiler:The watches are trophies from people he tortured and/or killed.]]** "Put a Ring on It" has a flashback with Olivia and Fitz at Cyrus and James' wedding that calls forward to a few things: the ring she always wears on her index finger, Fitz's Navy sweatshirt ("Happy Birthday, Mr. President"), why Vermont is so important to them, and "Sweet Baby" ("Sweet Baby," the first episode).* CallingTheOldManOut: Fitz attempted this with his father, Big Jerry, in flashbacks about the month leading up to the election. But Big Jerry's TheReasonYouSuckSpeech comeback was much harsher, and part of the reason [[spoiler: Olivia agreed to go along with the election rigging: She didn't want Fitz to feel bad about himself if/when he lost the election.]]* CallToAgriculture: Averted in the first season. Cyrus works in his garden on Sundays, his one day off. Later in the episode he says he hates working in his garden on Sundays. * CasanovaWannabe: Stephen, though he seems to have mostly settled down. He still has an interesting past.* CassandraTruth: Huck to Olivia in a flashback in "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner."-->'''Huck''': I was a trained assassin for secret office of the CIA on US soil called B6-13 run by a man called Command in a paper company that's not really a paper company. It's called Acme Limited, but really it's called Wonderland. Welcome to Wonderland, son. Then they put me in a hole, and then I wasn't so good at my job anymore. And then I wasn't in Wonderland anymore. I was here, but I can still I can kill a man with very little effort and a lot of joy, but I try not to. Okay? -->'''Olivia''': ...Is there medication you should be taking, or anyone I should call? * CatchPhrase : "It's handled". "Fix it".* CategoryTraitor: Control/Rowan/Eli comes close to calling Olivia this for siding with Fitz and Jake, who are both white, against him. He calls them her "clan of good ol' boys." It is a lot of hypocritical, self-serving nonsense, as [[spoiler: Olivia is angry at her father for killing her friend Harrison, who was black, as well a lot of other people. Also, Rowan was all right with Olivia dating Jake... before Jake found out Rowan had killed Fitz's son.]]** Marcus Walker, a neighborhood activist, also edges close to calling Olivia this in "The Lawn Chair." He mentions her Prada purse and does some ObliviousGuiltSlinging with his Intentional Guilt Slinging about how she got a white Republican president elected twice.-->'''Marcus''': Your black card's not getting validated today.* CharacterFilibuster: At least OncePerEpisode.* CityOfSpies: Washington DC is one. Normal people on the street could be working for an unofficial branch of the CIA that operates on American soil. Or could be freelancing for the Chief of Staff.* TheConspiracy: A large part of Season Two's backstory involves one including [[spoiler:Olivia, First Lady Mellie Grant, Cyrus Beene, Hollis Doyle, and Supreme Court Justice Verna Thornton. All five of these people were part of Fitzgerald Grant's election campaign, and all worked together on an election rigging conspiracy for various personal reasons: Hollis for the business connections, Mellie to be First Lady, Cyrus to be the President's adviser, and Verna Thornton to get on the Supreme Court. Olivia did it for Fitz. Hollis Doyle got a company called Cytron to rig several voting machines in a small county in Ohio named Defiance; the machines gave two-thirds of the vote to Fitz no matter how the county actually voted. Quinn/Lindsay Dwyer's framing was related to this conspiracy because her boyfriend, who had been Doyle's contact at Cytron, was a liability and had to be taken out, and Lindsay made the perfect patsy. Olivia, however, could not bear to see Lindsay's life be destroyed over something she felt was her mistake, so she arranged for Huck to abduct Linsday and give her a new life as Quinn.]]** The conspiracy may not have been well-hidden as they thought. Governor Reston, the opponent in the election, hints he knows about the conspiracy but can't prove it in "All Roads Lead to Fitz." A RewatchBonus of that episode after the conspiracy is revealed shows Reston probably wasn't angry over a simple "Soft on crime" campaign ad.** A second conspiracy is revealed in the first half of Season Four. [[spoiler: It involves getting Fitz to get America involved in a war in West Angola. Two teenage girls are killed to hide the conspiracy, bringing in OPA's involvement. The plan includes blowing up the Vice President's limo and forcing Cyrus to resign as Chief of Staff. When these do not work, Olivia is kidnapped. Vice President Andrew Nichols asks Fitz how far he would go to get back something he loved, ending with "How are you liking that war now, sir?"]]* ContrivedCoincidence: It can be argued Huck seeing and recognizing Charlie on a tape falls in this category. This leads to Huck realizing [[spoiler: Amanda is dead]], as Huck and Charlie were once co-workers.* CoolOldGuy: ** Cyrus starts out as one, but the trope is actually deconstructed [[spoiler: as he proves himself to be Olivia's ArchEnemy]].** The madam in episode 2 is morally ambiguous, but proves herself by the end.** Former First Lady Bitsy Cooper in "An Innocent Man" is very cool.* TheCutie: Quinn and Huck.* DangerTakesABackSeat: Done in both "Hunting Season" and "Blown Away."* DatingCatwoman: The beginning of Quinn's romantic relationship with Gideon, a cub reporter who seems on the verge of breaking the Amanda Tanner story.* {{Determinator}}: Olivia: "It's my name on this door, and I don't give up."* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: ** "The Lawn Chair" focuses primarily on the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Michael_Brown public's reaction to a white police officer shooting an unarmed black teenager, and the subsequent fallout]]. ** Several examples in the season 5 premiere "Heavy is the Head". Caledonia and its monarchy strongly resemble the United Kingdom and its own royal family, with one of the crown princes having married [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallis_Simpson an American woman]] in a recently televised [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wedding_of_Prince_William_and_Catherine_Middleton royal wedding]]. The princess is subsequently [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Diana,_Princess_of_Wales killed in a road traffic accident]], which is later revealed to have been [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Diana,_Princess_of_Wales_conspiracy_theories orchestrated by the Caledonian royal family after they found out she had become pregnant by her bodyguard outside of her royal marriage]]. * DomesticAbuser: Charles 'Chip' Putney, Abby's ex-husband.* TheDreaded: Olivia herself sometimes, at least in the first season. Adnan Salif is this to Harrison.* DrowningMySorrows: ** Both the President and Cyrus do this (sometimes together).** Olivia has some elements of this, too, considering how often people show up at her door with wine.** Mellie relies on the hooch pretty frequently as of season 3.* DysfunctionJunction: Everybody on Olivia's team, including Olivia herself. * EvilAllAlong:** [[spoiler: Billy and Cyrus.]]** In season 2, [[spoiler: Becky, whose real name is Kate.]]** In season 3, [[spoiler:Olivia's mother, apparently.]]** Also in season 3, [[spoiler: Eli Pope, who ''murdered the President's son out of spite.'']]** In season 4, [[spoiler: Andrew Nichols and Elizabeth North. Andrew might have undergone a FaceHeelTurn after getting forced to break up with Mellie.]]** Also in season 4, [[spoiler: Russell turns out to be a B6-13 agent.]]* ExactWords: [[spoiler: Eli Pope promised he wouldn't touch a hair on Fitz's head. He didn't, interestingly enough. He kept his word. But Fitz's ''son''....well, ''he'' was not included in that deal.]]** [[spoiler:Huck promised Quinn he wouldn't spill any more blood. When asked to do something about Andrew Nichols, he causes him to undergo a stroke.]]* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler: Quinn Perkins]] in season 3.* TheFakeCutie: [[spoiler: Cyrus.]]* FictionalCountry: ** Kashfar, a Middle Eastern nation where several US soldiers are taken hostage in "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot".** West Angola, an African nation which [[spoiler: Fitz is forced into invading by his VP and various members of the Republican party]] in Season 4.** Caledonia, a European monarchy whose royal family attends a state dinner in the season 5 premi�re "Heavy is the Head". * FirstNameBasis: Jake bitterly tells Fitz he has lost this, asking to be called "Captain Ballard." * FiveManBand :** {{The Hero}}ine: Olivia Pope.** TheLancer: Stephen Finch.** TheHeart: Quinn Perkins and Huck share the role.** TheSmartGuy: Huck has aspects; Harrison Wright has others.** TheChick: Abby Whelan (when she isn't an alternate Heart).* FourthWallPsych: Jake Ballard does this at the end of "Top of the Hour." He appears to smile knowingly at the audience. He's actually smiling knowingly [[spoiler: at the cameras he planted in Olivia's apartment]].* FramingTheGuiltyParty: [[spoiler:The woman in "Hell Hath No Fury" is doing this. He didn't rape her; he raped her best friend, which eventually triggered her suicide.]]* {{Futureshadowing}}: "Seven Fifty Two" has flashbacks of when Olivia first met Huck. Fitz is on a magazine cover with the tagline "Is this man our next president?"* GayConservative: [[spoiler: Sullivan St. James in episode 1. Cyrus Beene is revealed to be this in episode 4.]] * GenreShift: Shonda Rhimes' plan all along was to hook the audience with a soapy, case-of-the-week first season, before amping up the serialization and political thriller elements in season two.** Season 3 is doing this again with a lot of it's plot shifting towards a SpyDrama.** And now, interestingly enough, it's shifting ''back'' to the case-of-the-week formula that was once a decoy. * GladToBeAliveSex: In "The Last Supper," [[spoiler:Mellie and Andrew Nichols after Andrew is almost killed by a car bomb.]]* GoneHorriblyRight: In season three, [[spoiler:Cyrus' plan to expose Sally Langston's husband's homosexuality results in the disintegration of Cyrus' marriage (thanks to James' infidelity) and Sally murdering her husband]].* GoodIsNotSoft: Olivia, Stephen, Huck, and probably Harrison.* GreyAndGrayMorality: All over the place.* GreenEyedMonster: President Fitzgerald Grant veers into this territory in the season two episode "Hunting Season." He finds out Olivia was talking to Democratic Senator Edison Davis [[spoiler: who used to be Olivia's fiance.]] ** [[spoiler:Sally Langston isn't particularly thrilled to find out her husband is gay and [[YourCheatingHeart unfaithful]].]]* GuileHero: A good chunk of the cast.* HeroAntagonist: ** Amanda Tanner, at first. Mellie Grant floats in and out of the role. ** David Rosen takes over the role in season two, after [[spoiler: Olivia tanks his case against Quinn/Lindsay]].* HannibalLecture: Olivia, naturally, deals them out. Starting in episode four, Cyrus starts dishing them out to [[spoiler: Fitz and Olivia]].* HeadTiltinglyKinky: Senator Shaw's sex tape. Olivia and Abby tilt their heads at the same time, and Abby has already seen the tape four times. [[CovertPervert And wants to see it again.]]* HeKnowsTooMuch: [[spoiler: Gideon, when confronting Billy and revealing that he knows all about his plan.]]* HiddenDepths: ** The entire team has secrets.** Olivia: [[spoiler: Had an affair with President Grant during the campaign, assisted in rigging a national election in his favor, and covered up "Quinn's" real identity because of her accidental involvement in that rigging conspiracy, even conspiring with a Supreme Court justice to get her acquitted.]]** Abby: [[spoiler: Was married to a famous U.S. politician until she ran away. Their marriage had a history of domestic abuse and he's still searching for her.]]** Harrison: [[spoiler: Convicted of insider-trading, served serious jail time. He was also involved in something called Clearwater with Adnan Salif.]]** Stephen: [[spoiler: Was a hotshot lawyer, then had a breakdown in the middle of a trial where he was defending a large company that had destroyed a few lives through their chemical manufacturing.]]** Quinn: [[spoiler: Her real name isn't Quinn, and she didn't exist in that identity until two years ago.]]*** As season two reveals: [[spoiler: her real name is Lindsay Dwyer, she was framed for a bombing that killed seven people, and the conspiracy surrounding why stretches to not only Olivia, but the Supreme Court and the national security of the United States. This was further explained in "Happy Birthday, Mr. President": Hollis Doyle, the head of Cytron, rigged the explosion to get rid of evidence that Cytron helped orchestrate the rigging of the presidential election in Fitz's favor. He framed Lindsay Dwyer for the bombing. This did not sit right with Olivia, so she and Huck spirited Lindsay away and gave her a new identity as Quinn Perkins.]].** Huck: [[spoiler: His dossier is apparently thicker than most spy novels, most of it is redacted, but he has CIA/espionage/military training as an assassin and Olivia trusts him to break a dictator's wife and children out of the embassy with only five minutes' leeway. He's also spent time homeless and suffering from PTSD, begging on the DC subway, which is when Olivia found him. Also, he probably has an ex-wife and child living somewhere in DC.]]** There's also the surprising [[spoiler: and villainous]] depths to Cyrus Beene - he's [[spoiler: a GayConservative, and married to a much-younger man]].** B613 has an agent stationed in the White House to keep Command in the loop. Who would have predicted that it would be [[spoiler:Tom the Secret Service agent]]?* HideYourPregnancy: Kerry Washington (Olivia) is pregnant in season 3, however that was not written into the show (obviously).* IdiotBall: ** Quinn, when she dated a reporter that she got to know when he wanted information that she had. [[spoiler: Her surprise after he died that he was still working on the case was especially baffling for someone who apparently has so many secrets herself.]]** Speaking of him, Gideon was hit with his in episode 6 - [[spoiler: When confronting the person behind the majority of the shadiness in the story you're investigating, it's always best to do so in a public place or even to not let them know all that you know. But should you do both of these things , don't turn your back on them. It can only end one way.]]* IgnoredEnamoredUnderling: Revealed to be the case of California Governor Andrew Nichols, who used to be Fitz's lieutenant governor: [[spoiler: He's secretly in love with Mellie.]]* InnocentBystander: Amanda Tanner. At the start of season three, Jeannine Locke.* InSeriesNickname: Charlie likes calling Quinn "Robin." In "Like Father, Like Daughter," Fitz has an entire list for Mellie: "Drunk Mellie, Smelly Mellie, Screw-Everything-To-Hell Mellie, and Crybaby Mellie, and Eat Everything That Is Not Nailed Down Mellie."* IntrepidReporter: ** Gideon. God help you if you get in the way of his scoop.** James picks up the mantle in Season Two. As with Gideon, he's initially not sure where the story is taking him.** Season Three has two: Carla Steel and Vanessa Chandler. Carla even has the moxie to stand up to Olivia's "You'll never work in this town again" threats.* ItsAllAboutMe: Horribly demonstrated once. Command/Rowan/Eli has this philosophy as well.* JackBauerInterrogationTechnique: [[DeconstructedTrope The trope is deconstructed]] by [[spoiler: Huck]], who was forced to practice this. He uses it horribly.* KeepingSecretsSucks: Olivia can speak from experience. And she might not be as good as it as she thinks. People know she had a secret romance during the campaign, but not with whom. Jeannine Locke tells her in 3x02 that many White House employees knew President Grant was having an affair, but not with whom.* KnightInSourArmor: Olivia and Cyrus, who both do/condone horrible things in service to clients and the President, respectively.* KickTheDog: ** Albeit accidental, as she thought Amanda was a manipulative FakeCutie, when she reminded her rival (Amanda) of her mother's psychotic break and menaced to use it to end her career, the result was a really creepy Olivia.** [[spoiler: Cyrus]] has plenty of those moments [[spoiler: even before he proves to have been EvilAllAlong]].** If the first two episodes of season two are anything to go by, David's the new target of Olivia's dog-kicking.** Rowan/Eli starts doing this in the last few episodes of Season 4, almost as a warning to those who would dare cross him.* {{Kneecapping}}: Olivia, apparently, to Abby's abusive husband. With a tire iron. * LargeHam: You could make arguments for a few characters but [[spoiler: Rowan Pope]] has to take the cake.* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Starting with the third season, the show has ten main characters. Then there's all the recurring characters.* ManipulativeBastard: Olivia is one, and most of her team live on the verge. Fitz refuses to be one, Cyrus is proud of being this, and Mellie Grant has shown herself quite capable of it.* TheMasqueradeWillKillYourDatingLife: With Huck, [[spoiler: after being reunited by Quinn with his family at the end of Season 3, he attempts to patch things up with his ex and her son between seasons. In Season 4 we learn that he told her the truth about his involvement with B-613 as a sign of good faith, but not only does she not believe him, she has repeatedly called the cops on him, and ultimately [[ForYourOwnGood ambushes him with a shrink]] ]].* TheMcCoy: Quinn and Abby both serve as this for the rest of the team.* MoodWhiplash: "The Lawn Chair" has this for the rest of the series, given it deals with pretty serious topics regarding police brutality. * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Huck in "White Hat's Back On," after realizing he may have [[spoiler:trained Quinn too well.]]** Also, Fitz is dumbstruck when Mellie reveals that she genuinely believes that everyone is a StepfordSmiler.-->'''Fitz''': Did I do this to you? Or have you always been like this? Because if it was me, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.* NaiveNewcomer: Quinn, so very much. She [[CharacterDevelopment becomes less so]] as the series progresses, however.* NeverHeardThatOneBefore: In "A Door Marked Exit," Rowan/Eli goes on an epic rant to Fitz about how Fitz is a spoiled, ignorant child. Fitz doesn't say anything, but you get the feeling he's been hearing this ever since he WAS a spoiled, ignorant child. * NeverMyFault: Episode 3, with [[spoiler: the rich guy.]]* NobleBigotWithABadge: Officer James Newton in "The Lawn Chair." For given value of "noble."-->'''Newton:''' God, what the hell is it with you people?-->'''Olivia:''' Us people?-->'''Newton:''' Yeah, you people. I didn't misspeak.* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: The royal family of Caledonia in season 5 is pretty much an Expy for the British royal family. ** Queen Isabel - Queen Elizabeth II** Prince Richard - Prince Charles/Prince William** Princess Emily - Princess Diana/Wallis Simpson/Kate Middleton* NotEvilJustMisunderstood: Amanda Tanner. Olivia's third client (not counting the little girl herself and her earlier clients, which includes the president) when accused of murder.* NotSoDifferent: Olivia attempts this with Mellie in "We Do Not Touch the First Ladies." It fails. [[spoiler: Olivia thinks Mellie had an affair with Andrew Nichols. While Andrew is in love with Mellie and Mellie reciprocates on some level, they've never had sex. Until "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang," when they do.]] * NotSoStoic: Abby Whelan.** Olivia can lose her stoicism in cases involving infidelity.* ObliviousGuiltSlinging: Happens in a Flashback to the first campaign in "A Criminal, A Whore, an Idiot and a Liar." Fitz drunkenly starts feeling up Olivia in an elevator, Mellie catches them, and Mellie starts apologizing to Olivia for Fitz. Mellie appears to feel bad for Olivia. It seems this took place before Mellie found out about Olivia and Fitz, as how and when Mellie found out is a NoodleIncident for the show.** Done in "The Lawn Chair" alongside Deliberate Guilt Slinging. Marcus Walker says how Olivia got a white Republican president elected twice. Marcus is unaware of TheConspiracy regarding the first election, and doesn't know how [[spoiler: Olivia's father killed Fitz's son]] during the second.* ObliviouslyEvil: [[spoiler: Cyrus, initially. Not anymore, as of season 3: "You must've missed the '666' printed on my forehead."]]* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Huck's real name isn't even revealed until near the end of season four.* OnlySaneMan: Abby sees herself and Harrison in that role. How right she is is up to debate.* OnlySmartPeopleMayPass: In the Pilot, Olivia and the gang uncover two "secrets" - the gay soldier who wanted to run for Congress and the President's philandering. Since the soldier was meeting with his lover in a public place (bar/restaurant) ''and'' they enlisted the help of a security guard to get a tape of the two of them, it didn't seem very hard to uncover the "secret" or that it's likely to be secret very long. Similarly, the President starts making out with Olivia in the Oval Office having just pointed out there's a camera in the ceiling and is then interrupted by his Chief of Staff. If the President is that careless, how exactly has he not been caught before (the [=CoS=] makes it clear he ''didn't'' know)?** Olivia's affair was not as secret as they thought. The Secret Service are very discreet, but Jeannine told Olivia that people at the White House knew Fitz was having an affair, but not with whom.* OutOfCharacterAlert: [[spoiler:How Director Osborne's wife knows he wasn't the mole: he never used her full name.]]* PetTheDog: ** Olivia asking David not to fire his secretary.** Fitz and Olivia's secret phone calls, where they comfort each other about whatever the current crisis is.** Gideon being {{Adorkable}} by cooking to comfort Quinn, proving that their relationship is genuine.* PoisonousFriend: ** [[spoiler: Cyrus can be this to Fitz, but he does have moments of true friendship.]]** Olivia's becoming one to David in season two.* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: [[spoiler: Cyrus]] and [[spoiler:Hollis Doyle]].* PsychoForHire: Charlie, a former co-worker of Huck's. He even says his name is "like Manson."* PutOnABus: Henry Ian Cusick (Stephen) for season two.* TheQuietOne: Huck.* RagsToRiches : Harrison's {{Backstory}}.* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Mellie gives an epic one to Fitz in "Snake in the Garden".** In Season 3's episode "A Door Marked Exit," we had two gigantic ones: one in a flashback from [[spoiler: Sally to her husband and her husband right back at her, regarding his [[YourCheatingHeart cheating]] and [[ArmoredClosetGay orientation]] and his ability to influence her political career before she stabs him in the back, literally]] and one from [[spoiler: Olivia's father, Eli/Rowan, to Fitz regarding Fitz's perceived spoiled childhood and not being good enough for Daddy's little girl. While Fitz has him locked in a room in the Pentagon effectively powerless, no less.]]** Olivia delivers a ''blistering'' one in season four to a couple who tried to {{blackmail}} the president over [[spoiler:a sex tape of his daughter]]. It doubles as a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome both for the content of the speech and because they are ''immediately'' cowed into doing her bidding.* RecruitedFromTheGutter: Huck was a government assassin who fled a ResignationsNotAccepted situation. He lived as a homeless man on the subway where he rescued Olivia ([[spoiler: the daughter of his former boss]]) from some muggers. An arrangement was reached which ended with Huck working for Olivia as one of her Gladiators when she formed her own PR firm.* RedHerring: [[spoiler: You had to have thought that CIA Director Osbourne was the mole they were searching for. "Snake in the Garden" has the character get killed off at the end, and it's revealed that they got the wrong guy]].* RealityRetcon: Various references are made to Ronald Reagan, the 40th US President. However, in "An Innocent Man", it is said that the fictional Edward Randolph Cooper was the 40th US President.* RoomFullOfCrazy: David has this to see why Olivia is helping Quinn. So far he's figured out [[spoiler:Quinn was framed for the bombing]], as Olivia uses her powers for good instead of evil. At the start of season 4, he has a Storage Bin Full of Crazy. It contains all [[spoiler:the B6-13 files Jake gave him.]] David has organized the files by Scary, Really Scary, and Crap-Your-Pants Scary.* RashomonStyle: A flashback in Season 2's "Happy Birthday Mr. President" is expanded upon in a flashback in Season 3's "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang." [[spoiler: The first flashback has Olivia noticing an argument between Cyrus and James over the Inaugural Ball. The second flashback shows the argument from Cyrus' perspective, where James is angry Cyrus still sees him as a "dirty little secret."]]* RippedFromTheHeadlines: Season 4's "The Lawn Chair" uses the 2014 events in Ferguson, Missouri as a template. While a popular episode, some fans consider it MoodWhiplash and GenreShift from the rest of the season.* SacrificialLion: ** [[spoiler:Amanda Tanner]]** [[spoiler:Gideon Wallace]]* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: Olivia : "We don't vote, we take her.".* SamusIsAGirl: Done twice: Vice President Langston and with Harrison's former boss Adnan Salif [[spoiler: who is also Harrison's former and current lover]].* SeamlessSpontaneousLie: One unusually noble example was done by Andrew Nichols: When it was revealed Oxycontin was delivered to the governor's mansion, Andrew says he had the Oxycontin delivered because he hurt his back and thought getting a prescription would be seen as hypocritical given his strong anti-drug stance. It turns out Andrew is covering for [[spoiler: Mellie, who attempted suicide with the entire bottle. Andrew saved Mellie's life and never told anyone.]]* SecretSecretKeeper: It's hinted at different times that both Stephen and Huck knew about Oliva and Fitz all along. * SequelHook: Quinn's [[spoiler: real identity and backstory are about to be revealed]].** The end of season two: [[spoiler:Olivia exits her apartment and is verbally assaulted by the media, who reveal that her name has been leaked as the President's mistress. She then gets into a car with Huck's former Jake's current boss, implied to be the head of the classified B6-13 CIA program, and says, "Dad?"]]** The "Fall Finale" of Season Four, "Where the Sun Don't Shine": [[spoiler: Olivia is kidnapped to force Fitz to start a war on (or in) West Angola.]]** The final episode of season four, "You Can't Take Command": [[spoiler: Fitz and Olivia kiss on the balcony of the White House, deciding they can do "whatever we want."]]* SexForSolace:** Implied to be the reason [[spoiler:the president's daughter Karen]] sleeps around in season four.** After [[spoiler:returning home from her kidnapping, Olivia]] attempts this in season four as well. The first time she has a PTSD flashback in the bathroom and runs out of the bar before taking the guy back to her apartment, but the second time she goes through with it.* ShellShockedVeteran: [[spoiler:Huck]] reveals himself to be this, due to [[spoiler: his CIA black-ops training. He and his other operatives were conditioned to torture enemies and eventually grew to like it. Huck wanted out and was trying to "get sober" while living homeless when Olivia found him]]. ** The season two episode "Seven Fifty-Two" reveals that [[spoiler:he has a wife and child, but after torture and sensory deprivation by the CIA he is no longer sure that his memories of them are genuine. He does, however, apparently remember seeing them while living homeless at a subway station; his son gave him money, with neither his son nor his wife apparently realising it was him. The episode title (which Huck repeats for almost the entire portion of the episode set in the present due to shell shock from a recent attack he suffered very similar to the sensory deprivation to which the CIA subjected him) refers to the time when this occurred.]]* SherlockScan: Huck has this skill, and teaches it to Quinn in Season 2. It comes in handy when they watch security footage together at various times, noticing things "out of place."* ShipTease: This is very briefly done in the flashback where Harrison and Abby first meet. Abby looks like she's about to start flirting with Harrison, until he mentions he has to meet his parole officer. * ShoutOut:** Cyrus uses "I saw Goody Proctor with the Devil!" from Arthur Miller's Theatre/TheCrucible, adding "Right here in DC!" to warn Olivia how a Sally Langston presidency will be.** When David is trying to convince James that he isn�t a ConspiracyTheorist in the "Defiance" episode, he says "I don't believe 9/11 was an inside job or the phone company killed J.F.K", a reference to ''Film/TrueBeliever'', itself a reference to ''Film/ThePresidentsAnalyst''.** Mellie likens Olivia to Cleopatra in "Icarus," but not in a good way. "I did everything but roll your whore up in a rug and unfurl her at your feet!"** In "A Door Marked Exit," similar to ''Film/BatmanBegins'', someone finds out he's fired by being asked "Didn't you get the memo?" ** At the start of "Randy, Red, Superfreak and Julia," Olivia is reading the novel Literature/GoneGirl and using the alias "Julia Baker," the name of Diahann Carroll's character on the TV drama "Julia." ** Olivia is likened to Helen of Troy by Tom Larsen in "Baby Made a Mess." A bit of FridgeBrilliance concerning the "Face that launched a thousand ships" line, after [[spoiler: Olivia is kidnapped so Fitz will start a war in West Angola.]]** Jake stalking an apartment is intercut with Rowan/Eli prepares a glass of wine. Similar to SilenceOfTheLambs, Jake finds an empty apartment and Rowan/Eli is actually in Olivia's apartment.** As noted on Twitter, the final scene of "First Lady Sings the Blues" with [[spoiler: Olivia and Russell]] in bed and she puts a gun to his head, is very similar to a scene between EddieMurphy and Jasmine Guy in Film/HarlemNights.** Jake makes a similar reference to Theatre/TheCrucible as above, when asked to sign a document refuting the existence of B6-13.* SilentConversation: Both hilarious and suspenseful in "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner." * StarCrossedLovers: Olivia and Fitz* SympatheticAdulterer: [[spoiler: President Fitzgerald Grant]], perhaps. Sometimes the audience feels bad for [[spoiler: him and Olivia]], but other times, it's clear his infidelity is causing more problems than it's probably worth.* SympatheticMurderer:[[spoiler:Vice President Sally Langston]] becomes one in season three.* ThatManIsDead: In "The Other Woman," [[spoiler: Quinn comes to terms that her life as Lindsay Dwyer is over. Huck even tells her that eight people died in that bombing, not seven. In "Hunting Season," she becomes very insistent that Abby calls her Quinn, not Lindsay.]] * ThereAreNoTherapists: In the second season, Huck goes to A.A. meetings to talk about his addiction to killing people, only he calls it "drinking whiskey." At the start of "The Lawn Chair," Jake suggests Olivia talk to someone after her [[spoiler:kidnapping, auction and rescue]]. Nearly [[DysfunctionJunction every character]] could use some therapy, it seems.* TheyCallMeMisterTibbs: In "The Last Supper," Jake bitterly asks Fitz to call him "Captain Ballard," as they are not [[FirstNameBasis friends]] anymore. A bit of a TearJerker, as Fitz and Jake are probably the oldest friends on the show.* ThreeWaySex: A rather filthy tape involving [[spoiler:the president's daughter Karen]] becomes a plot point in a season four episode.* TimeSkip: There is a ten month TimeSkip between "Nobody Likes Babies" and "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot." The TimeSkip between the end of Season 3 and the start of Season 4 is two months. (The nice weather in Washington DC made it seem like more.)* ToBeLawfulOrGood: ** Olivia's team will bend the rules all over the place but will generally refuse to break the law. They do seem to make an exception as far as Huck's hacking is concerned. However, in the season one finale they can't TakeAThirdOption and have to make a choice [[spoiler: whether to destroy evidence in order to protect Quinn]].** In 2.01, Olivia's last-ditch choice of [[spoiler: getting Justice Verna to shut down Quinn's trial]] may have consequences.** Comes up in "The Lawn Chair," especially when Olivia repeatedly asks David (the attorney general) to help.-->'''David''': I just can't go marching into every sensitive situation trying to rush the justice process. There are laws, OK? Laws I am being paid by the US Government to uphold.-->'''Olivia''': TO PROTECT PEOPLE WHO LOOK LIKE YOU!-->'''David''': Oh, come on, Liv!-->'''Olivia''': You talk about fairness and justice like it's available to everybody; it's not!* TokenGoodTeammate: At the start of the third season, Olivia seems to be this to the rest of the team.* TortureAlwaysWorks: Apparently, it even works if you keep the subject's mouth duct-taped shut until he's past the point of being able to form coherent words.* TreacherousAdvisor: [[spoiler: Cyrus, though he does have good intentions at times.]]* UnresolvedSexualTension: Abby clearly has this for Stephen in spades.* TheUnreveal: A minor example on episode 2.16 with PatientOfTheWeek Sarah Stanner, who had an affair with Supreme Court nominee Murray Randall when he was a Harvard law professor fifteen years ago. Later, Sarah admitted to her husband that she slept with Randall two years prior, right around the time they had a second child, which infuriated him enough to demand a paternity test. When Olivia gave the husband the results, sealed inside an orange envelope, she told him that the results changes nothing. His marriage will need time to repair, and the knowledge of who's the biological dad won't erase that he's his second child's true father. Olivia's advice [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments convinces him to rip up the envelope]].* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans:** [[spoiler: Cyrus's speech to defend himself is full of this, which makes him either a ManipulativeBastard or ObliviouslyEvil.]]** [[spoiler: Billy Chambers has his girlfriend sleep with the president]] and follows it up with blackmail and murder so the 'right' person can become president.** Frequently used to justify [[spoiler: the election rigging that made Fitz president. Mostly by Cyrus and Olivia, but occasionally also by Verna Thornton.]]** [[spoiler: Tom Larsen does this as his justification for killing Jerry Grant (under orders from Rowan/Eli), saying how Jerry was "a boy" but Fitz is "a great man."]]* VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory: The show is based on the career of real life UsefulNotes/GeorgeHWBush deputy press secretary/crisis manager Judy Smith, though obviously with plots far from the reality of the Bush 41 presidency meant to appeal to 2012 audiences looking for dramatic tension.* WhamEpisode: "Defiance": [[spoiler: President Grant and the press secretary get shot.]]** "Nobody Likes Babies": [[spoiler: President Grant finds out the truth about the election rigging from Verna... right before he murders her, breaks up with Olivia, and more-or-less reconciles with Mellie.]]** "Everything's Coming Up Mellie" reveals lots and lots of secrets: [[spoiler: Cyrus used to have [[TheBeard a beard]]. [[{{Pun}} And facial hair, too!]] Big Jerry raped Mellie and might be the real father of Fitz's son. Charlie tricks Quinn into killing a lead, recruiting her into B6-13. Sally Langston's husband is gay and interested in James. Fitz finds out Olivia's father runs B6-13. Olivia's mother is still alive.]]** "YOLO": [[spoiler: James asks Cyrus for a divorce. Huck tortures Quinn for her betrayal of Olivia. Olivia's mother is genuinely guilty of as-yet-unspecified crimes against the Republic. Quinn is going to kill Command (AKA Olivia's father). Oh, yeah, and the Vice President ''murders her husband.'']]** "We Do Not Touch The First Ladies": [[spoiler:Mellie's rape at the hands of her father-in-law pushed her to attempt suicide, and it's heavily implied that the rape itself is ultimately the reason why her marriage with Fitz starting falling apart. Rowan has been working with Leo Bergen to ruin Fitz's chances of reelection. Quinn threatens Olivia with a gun. Adnan Salif is working for Olivia's mother. Tom is secretly a B613 agent who fills Command in on events in the White House.]] [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Oh, and Hollis Doyle is hanging around again.]]** "No Son on the Horizon": [[spoiler:James had just decided to back off of working with David on the investigation of Sally's Langston's husband's death because, despite himself, he still loves Cyrus. It turns out, David hadn't set up the meeting; neither had James. They were set up by Jake, new head of B613; walks up to them, shoots the two women with them, camera pans off them, we hear a single shot, and cut immediately to black.]]** "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang": [[spoiler:James gets KilledOffForReal by Jake, who is now forcing David to have an innocent man arrested and tried for the murder under threat of death. Olivia and the Gladiators find out, but have to keep it quiet from Cyrus to hopefully bring down B613. Quinn, who's still working for B613, has recently snuck into Olivia's office; the sloppy way she went about it, leaving video evidence that could be found when Huck taught her not to leads him to think she still is a Gladiator after all. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking And he ends up kissing her.]] ]]** "The Price Of Free and Fair Elections": [[spoiler: President Grant's son is dead. Maya Pope didn't kill him.]]** "Where the Sun Don't Shine": [[spoiler: Olivia is kidnapped to force Fitz to start a war in West Angola. Elizabeth North and Vice President Andrew Nichols are part of the conspiracy.]]* WhamLine: The final line of "White Hat's Back On."-->'''Olivia''': [[spoiler: Dad?]]** A whole bunch in "Everything's Coming Up Mellie."-->'''Eli''': [[spoiler: Our daughter]] has been asking about you.-->'''Charlie''' [[spoiler: to Quinn]]: You belong to B6-13 now. Welcome to Wonderland.-->'''Fitz''' (in flashback): You know, if it's a boy, he's going to want us to name him "Jerry."** "The Price of Free and Fair Elections"-->[[spoiler: '''Eli''': "He took my child. So I took his."]]** "Where the Sun Don't Shine"-->[[spoiler: '''Andrew''': �How are you liking that war '''now''', sir?�]]** "Yes."-->[[spoiler: '''Reporter''': "Are you the president's mistress?"]] -->'''Olivia''': "Yes."* WhamShot: The final shot of "A Door Marked Exit" has Maya [[spoiler: (dressed in a white coat similar to Olivia's)]] tossing a burner phone into a trash can on the sidewalk... [[spoiler: that is outside the gates of the White House.]]* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: As explained to Quinn in the first episode, sometimes we don't get all the answers. In the first episode we never did learn who the real killer was. * WhatTheHellHero: ** It's a show about people's dirty secrets coming out, so you get this a lot.** Cyrus gives the President an epic one when he sees that the President is more worried about preparing a speech rather than preventing the coming scandal. * WideEyedIdealist: Quinn.* WomanInBlack: Abby, quite often.* WomanInWhite: Olivia, frequently.* XanatosSpeedChess: The entirety of Season 3 would appear to be this on behalf of [[spoiler:Command/Rowan/Eli Pope, although it's unclear how much he either anticipated (thanks to his access to B613's intelligence) or instigated versus how much he planned on the fly. Regardless, the events of the season worked out well for him: [[BookEnds his daughter got on that plane]], the President owes him and is unlikely to interfere with B613 anymore, his most troublesome agent is out of the picture, and he got to torment his terrorist wife and kill her lover.]]** It continues to Season 4. [[spoiler:Command/Rowan/Eli Pope takes advantage of Agent Bixby learning Secret Service Agent Tom Larsen was at Fort Dietrich, framing Jake Ballard for killing Jerry Grant. Rowan probably figured someone would learn about Tom being at Fort Dietrich eventually, and is using Bixby's discovery to get Tom to say Jake Ballard told him to kill Jerry Grant.]]* YouAreNotAlone: Olivia, to Amanda.----

Has anyone heard of this surgeon?
I had read good things about him also, but our cardiologist did not recommend him for my son's case. We went to Dr. Bove at U of M.
I know he was featured in a documentary recently called Hearts of Hope.
I have heard of him. A child that has similar defects to my daughter had his Fontan done by him after they spoke with numerous surgeons for second opinions. I believe they were very impressed and happy with him. I can pass on her info if you want.
Isabella - LTGA, VSD, PA, Dextracardia, Bi-directional Glenn 7/2010
He is AMAZING! Hope is an amazing hospital. You will instantly fall in love with him and all of the staff at Hope (he also works out of Lutheran, but I highly recommend Hope - having been there and to the specialized PSHU unit, however, I know Lutheran is good, too. I just have no experience).
There is a movie about him called Hearts of Hope. Here is the trailer
All of the physicians who work on the PSHU are amazing, the fellows are amazing and the nurses often know more than the fellows. He has created the PSHU in a way that allows him to not worry when he goes home at night. He performed my son's OHS a year an a half ago - we didn't know about his defects until two days before his surgery. We were terrified and Ilbawi made things seem so much better the second we saw him.
As of a year and a half ago, my pediatrician said he had the most surgical hours in the 5 state area. That could have changed now with different doctors coming and going.
I could go on and on and certainly feel free to ask specific questions, but I know you will feel the same way I do the second you meet with him.
Good luck!
Best of luck!
Are you near Indianapolis? I have never heard of that Doctor, but we have amazing surgeons in Indianapolis at Riley Hospital for Children.
If I were rich I would buy a big old house near Riley Hosptial so everyone that has a baby with a heart condition could go there. They are amazing!
God bless all of you : )
No longer Joann and Ron........JUST JOANN now : )

This deodorant provides 24 hour all day protection against odor and wetness. The scent is very sporty and i really like this deodorant. It goes on smooth and it works great. This is best deodorant i have ever used.
I tried this anti perspirant years ago. I had always had problems with a rash/ breaking out from every other brand i tried. Does it keep me completely dry no, but i sweat easily. It helps keep me dry, and odor free with no reactions to my skin.
tHIS IS THE BEST ANTIPERSPIRANT i'VE EVER USED AND DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I CAN'T FIND IT IN THE DRUGSORES. I'M JUST GRATEFUL I CAN FIND IT ONLINE HERE.THANK YOU.
This and the "sport" version are all I buy unless there's something comparable on sale for much less money. It goes on easily, doesn't stain, dries quickly, and -- most importantly -- does what it says.
WHY DID IT TAKE 18 (EIGHTEEN),-DO YOU UNDERSTAND,- (17 + 1), DAYS TO GO FROM NEW YORK TO CALIFORNIA??????? PLEASE DON'T TRY TO B.S. ME, I AM 70 (SEVENTY) YEARS OLD, AND YOU CAN'T, I HAVE HEARD IT BEFORE! thank you.

Germany: Centrosolar to install PV on 100 supermarkets31. May 2012 | Applications & Installations, Industry & Suppliers | By: Becky Beetz
Under a new joint venture, Centrosolar Group AG and Pohlen Bedachungen GmbH are planning to install eight megawatts peak (MWp) worth of photovoltaics on supermarkets across Germany.
CentroPlan has said it will integrate the 100 photovoltaic systems on the rooftops of outlets of an unnamed South German discount grocery chain. Pohlen Solar, a subsidiary of Pohlen Bedachungen will undertake construction of the systems, each of which will be around 80 kilowatts peak in size.
The project is scheduled for completion in mid-2012. Overall, the supermarkets are expected to meet up to 45 percent of their electricity requirements with photovoltaics.
In a statement released, Centrosolar explained, "In future, the discount grocery chain's branches will feed only 10 percent of the solar power they generate into the local grid, and use up to 90 percent of output directly in situ. This exceptionally high internal consumption rate is achieved because the patterns of solar power generation and power consumption by retail premises throughout the day largely tally. Future appliances, too, will run on power generated during the daytime wherever possible."
