Things To Do on Toronto's Waterfront
Posted: June 15, 2016
Toronto is home to one of the longest urban lakefronts in the world. From the Rouge River in the east to Etobicoke Creek in the west, the 46-kilometre shoreline encompasses attractions ranging from city parks, beaches and marinas to concert venues, art galleries and a new BMX park. There's so much to do along Lake Ontario that some curation is required — and that's where this list steps in.

Things To Do on the Waterfront
Waterfront Artisan Market
Schedule some time for several weekends throughout the summer to enjoy the food and crafts at the inaugural season of this marketplace. Over 50 different vendors rotate throughout each of the six weekends of the market, giving you reason to check it out each month from June to October.

Toronto Beaches
You don't need to go down south to find a great stretch of warm sand. The beaches range in size from the humble Sugar Beach to the sprawling (and busy) Woodbine Beach. Just make sure you check the water quality before jumping in.

Lakeside Patios
The air coming off of Lake Ontario is the perfect thing to pair with great food and drinks served on one of Toronto's lakeside patios. You're also guaranteed a great view – there are options that offers views of the water, tall ships, sunset and the Toronto city skyline.
See our top picks: Patios With a View of the Lake
Boat Cruises
The lake is lovely to view from the shore, but it's even lovelier to view atop the deck of one of the city's many cruise ships. A fixture on Lake Ontario throughout most of the year (some all-year round), these ships glide across the water while its guests enjoy gourmet meals and amazing views.
Toronto Boat Cruises & Tours:
Tall Ship Boat Tours
Modern cruises may be fun, but they don't quite match the feeling of being on the water aboard a tall ship straight from the 19th century. These ships vary between brief sails around the Toronto Harbourfront, to longer voyages along Lake Ontario.
Strolling the Scarborough Bluffs
This 15-km-long sedimentary escarpment offers a dramatic backdrop for a series of green spaces that culminate in the neighbouring Scarborough Bluffs Park, Bluffer's Park and Cathedral Bluffs Park. Here you'll find one of Toronto's longest and nicest sandy beaches, a verdant network of walking trails and marsh-crossing boardwalks, and an expansive marina that's home to various fishing charters and the panoramic patio at Bluffer's Restaurant.
Smell the roses in the Music Garden
Have you ever wondered how Bach's "Suite No. 1 in G Major for unaccompanied cello" would translate horticulturally? Perhaps not, but it's a good thing world-famous cellist Yo Yo Ma and landscape designer Julie Moir Messervy did so back in 1999, when the pair collaborated with the City of Toronto to produce this glorious amalgam of greenery and sound structured around the six movements of Bach's composition. During the summer, the nearby Harbourfront Centre offers free guided tours and $6 self-guided audio tours, with a free concert series running most Thursdays at 7 p.m. and Sundays at 4 p.m.

Summer Music in the Garden
Rock out at the Molson Amphitheatre and Echo Beach
On a fine summer night it's tough to beat a dose of live music in what's left of Ontario Place. The Amphitheatre, which replaced the Forum in 1995, offers 5,500 reserved seats under a 25-metre-high roof, 3,500 open-air seats, and another 7,000 general-admission lawn spots. Then there's the newer and more intimate Echo Beach, which opened 16 years later in a converted volleyball court that holds 5,000 fans.

Savour the Sunnyside Pavilion
This glorious art-deco masterpiece has undergone several facelifts since it opened in 1922, but the focus is still on refreshment. There's the casual Sunnyside Café, which serves up pub grub beside the Martin Goodman Trail, the enormous Gus Ryder public pool right next door, and plenty of beaches, parkland and parking all around.

Try some new tricks at the Sunnyside Bike Park
The first substantial, city-sanctioned BMX park in Toronto opened in the summer of 2014 less than a minute's pedal east of its namesake pavilion. The clay-and-dirt expanse of ramps, bermed corners, logs and jumps is designed for all ages and skill levels, and is slated to include a new pick-up and drop-off area and family meeting space by the end of its second summer season.

Butterfly-spotting in Humber Bay Park
The two bucolic spits at the mouth of Mimico Creek would be perfectly pleasant without the Humber Bay Butterfly Habitat. But this ecological restoration project puts the park over the top (and onto this list), what with the many native and migratory butterfly species it attracts with specially designed gardens and wildflower-filled meadows. Interactive signage helps visitors identify species, while a "Home Garden" area offers tips on creating backyard butterfly habitats.

Paddle Boats
Not to be confused with boats that require you to carry around lengthy paddles, these small two-person conveyances use light peddling to take you along the water. Suited for kids, or those with small children, these boats are best enjoyed on days when the water is calm, letting you glide across it with ease.
Beach volleyball in Ashbridges Bay
The sands widen at the western end of The Beaches neighbourhood, forming a 35-hectare waterfront park that includes three softball diamonds, a rugby pitch, an outdoor swimming,diving complex and a series of public boat launches along the Martin Goodman Trail and Woodbine Beach boardwalk. The sporty action gets especially heated when dozens of beach volleyball courts spring up on the sands from May to October, and the annual Heatwave fundraiser, billed as "the world's largest beach volleyball tournament," taking over in the middle of July.

Biking the Leslie Spit
Getting out of the concrete jungle is surprisingly easy on this 500-hectare man-made peninsula, which juts five kilometres into Lake Ontario. Technically part of Tommy Thompson Park, the Leslie Spit is a serene haven of wildflower meadows, cottonwood forests, coastal marshes, cobble beaches and sand dunes, with abundant traffic-free paths and roads connecting it all. There's plenty of wildlife to be spotted here, too, from migrating birds and butterflies to muskrats and coyotes.

Get cultured at the Harbourfront Centre
Whatever your cultural tastes, they'll be satisfied at this sprawling multipurpose facility at the foot of Lower Simcoe St. The 10-acre waterfront site is home to more than a dozen individual venues, ranging from the 420-seat Enwave Theatre and outdoor WestJet Stage to the Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery and the Natrel outdoor skating rink. More than 4,000 events are spread across these spaces each year, with hundreds being free of charge.

When the waves are a little less gentle, and the wind is a bit bolder, you can grab a surfboard and try to tame the aquatic wilds of Lake Ontario. Windsurfing, and kite surfing are available, depending on what sort of excitement you're searching for.

Canoeing and Kayaking
Some of the earliest residents of this land explored the water on these vessels, so you can try your own hand at exploring Lake Ontario on this classic style of water transportation.
- Toronto Advenutres
- Harbourfront Canoe & Kayak Centre
- Exclusive Sports Rentals
- The Complete Paddler
- Mountain Equipment Co-op
Once it was the fastest way to get from port to port with massive crews hauling precious spices from distant lands, now sailing is more suited to smaller groups looking for fun along the waves with scenic views of the landscape. Some sailing trips even include the chance to learn how to be an able hand aboard a sailing ship.
Stand-Up Paddling/Paddleboarding
Standing up to paddle might seem counter-intuitive, but this increasingly popular method of travelling along the water is a more active experience than other forms paddling, making you feel like you have full control of where you go next. Also available, though less common, is dragon boat paddling.
- Harbourfront Canoe & Kayak Centre
- Toronto Adventures
- Toronto Sailing and Canoe Club (lessons)
- Sunnyside Paddling Club (includes dragon boat rentals and coaching)
Lot of Toronto's parks lie along its shoreline. There are large and small space alike, many with views of Lake Ontario, and facilities like fire pits, splash pads, off-leash areas for dogs, and many other fun things to. Some of the city's biggest parks also happen to be along the lakeshore and located in the Toronto Islands, so make sure you get to the ferry early!
- Bluffer's Park
- Ashbridges Bay Park
- Tommy Thompson Park
- Humber Bay Butterfly Habitat
- Sunnyside Park
- Coronation Park
- Centre Island
Cycling, Running, and Walking Along the Waterfront
There are many paths along the lakeshore perfect for long walks along the lake, excursions atop a bike, or even a brisk run. While you can do any of those things in other parts of the city, there are few spots that are quite so picturesque. The boardwalk also makes it a safe experience so you won't have to worry about rambling up a hill.

Two North Augusta teens were detained for a purse snatching incident during which an elderly woman was injured, according to the North Augusta Department of Public Safety.
Tyrone Miller, 17, of Austin Street in North Augusta, was charged with purse snatching and placed in the Aiken County detention center, where he remained on Thursday afternoon.
A 15-year-old North Augusta Middle School student was also charged and later released to his family.
A 70-year-old woman was exiting the Walmart on Knox Avenue with a friend just before 8 p.m. on Monday when the suspect approached her from behind, grabbed her purse and ran, according to an incident report.
The second suspect, who was standing at the exit, also fled.
The victim tried to run after the suspects but fell, causing lacerations to her right hand and knee, police said.
Officers identified and located Miller at North Augusta High School and detained him.
Miller told police his friend Peanut snatched the purse, and they ran from the store together to an abandoned home nearby, police said.
The purse reportedly contained $65, glasses, credit cards and makeup.
Police later found the purse inside the home, with the victims cash, credit cards and cellphone missing.
Miller, whose mother works at the store, told police he used the cash to buy marijuana, according to the report.
The younger teen also admitted to police that they snatched the womans purse, and that they got caught up in the moment.
Miller has a previous arrest for disorderly conduct, according to the detention center website.
Teddy Kulmala covers the crime and courts beat for the Aiken Standard and has been with the newspaper since August 2012. He is a native of Williston and majored in communication studies at Clemson University.

Gospel Growth focuses on the role of faith in the transformation of Christians by the power of the gospel. This ten-session small group study covers topics including, living by faith, spiritual disciplines, faith and repentance, the power of the Spirit, and how identifying with the suffering, death, and resurrection of Christ grows us to be like Christ. With user-friendly small group activities and questions rooted in Scripture, this small group study (adapted from sections of Gospel Transformation) includes a leader's guide and is suitable for small groups and individual mentoring. Other books in series are Gospel Identity - Book 1 and Gospel Love - Book 3. These can be used as stand-alone products.
Author Bio
Serge means "joining together rough edges to form a smooth seam." Serge (formerly World Harvest Mission) is a ministry that sees God weaving together the ragged parts of a fallen world with his goodness, making the tattered beautiful. This grace compels his people to go, to join their lives with the communities Serge serves around the world, as Christ makes all things new. This is God's grace at the fray. Serge's work consists of sending and caring for missionaries, discipling people around the world, and developing resources—like Sonship and The Gospel-Centered Life—for spiritual growth. Learn more about Serge's work worldwide.
Contributors: Based on portions of discipleship material developed at Serge by Paul E. Miller which was used as the basis for Gospel Transformation (copyright 2001 by World Harvest Mission) written by Neil H. Williams.
"Many Christian resources focus either on biblical study to the neglect of deep personal life transformation or on life application based on a very flattened understanding of the gospel. Serge has drawn upon their history of rich gospel-based training to produce a series that targets real-life transformation grounded in a robust, grace-based theology. Only a resource saturated in the gospel can lead to the kind of meaningful life change promised to us in the Bible, and I am thrilled to see such a resource now available."
- Rev. David H. Kim, Director of the Gotham Initiative, Redeemer Presbyterian Church, NYC
"I love the series of small group resources, Gospel Identity, Gospel Growth, and Gospel Love. They are theologically rich, but not stuffy; practical, but not pragmatic. They are life-transforming resources that will be used to transform communities on mission with the gospel."
- Scott Thomas, Pastor of Pastoral Development, The Journey Church
"Gospel Identity is a rich, interactive analysis of our deepest self in relation to the gospel. The lessons are weighty and deep because the writers have a panoramic and majestic view of the gospel. Complex gospel content is brought into focus through several helpful charts and diagrams, which are obviously the fruit of years of gospel counseling. This is not just gospel information; this is deep gospel application that is practical and specific, so that gospel encouragement translates into a lifestyle of witness and love. The participant is constantly encouraged toward gospel relationship with others and each section leads into individual and group prayer. The issue is identity, but the study doesn¿t stop at introspection. Gospel renewal leads to sharing the radical news of our union with Christ by faith and caring for those around us."
- John Smed, Director, Prayer Current Ministries
"This study brings a powerful experience of gospel truth and a personal relationship with Jesus and all those that he has placed in your life. Using biblical truths, written to open the eyes of all hearts to sins, and full of challenges by the Holy Spirit to change and grow, this is the study you need. User-friendly, even for a first time leader, it is progressive, time-sensitive, and will invite the most timid participant into heart application. I highly recommend this to all who are committed to growing closer to God and being a gospel tool to help others."
- Nancy Puryear, Women's ministry director (more than eleven years), Christ Community Church; cross-cultural counselor
"God used Jack Miller to help Christians, and pastors especially, to recover the gospel of Jesus Christ as the functional core of the Christian faith. Jack's famous line, 'Cheer up, you're worse off than you think,' re-opened the door to many of us with an invitation to drop the pretense of a good life and to admit and delight in our continuing, desperate need for Jesus. As a church planter and trainer of church planters, I have often wished for a concise series of Bible studies that would help churches to not only know this gospel of grace, but to experience it as well. That's precisely what this series of gospel studies offers. It is a great way to biblically and relationally ground Christians in the gospel of Jesus Christ and I heartily recommend it."
- John F. Thomas, PhD, Director of Global Training, Redeemer City to City
"I'm probably the most 'religious' person you know. I make my living teaching religious students (in seminary) to be more religious, doing religious broadcasts, writing religious books, and preaching religious sermons. It¿s very easy to lose the 'main thing' about the Christian faith in a religious morass. These studies remind me thats it's all about Jesus and Jesus is all about the Good News (the gospel). They are refreshing, informative and life changing. In fact, these studies are like a refreshing drink of cold, pure water to a thirsty man. Read and use these books from Serge and get out of the way as you listen to the laughter and relief of the redeemed."
- Steve Brown, Key Life radio broadcaster; author of Three Free Sins: God Isn't Mad at You
"Gospel Transformation is unique in that it works at the very heart of our faith. It is a marriage course, a discipleship course, and a Bible study, but it is so much more. It is all about getting the central passion of Christianity - the cross of Jesus Christ - at the center of your life. And not just your thinking life, but your doing and experiencing life. So it is good theology and good practice combined. If you get the cross right, then everything else works."
- Paul Miller, Director of SeeJesus (www.seeJesus.net); author of A Praying Life
"Gospel Growth: "The gospel" has become a buzz word in the last few years in the American church. But wait. What does "the gospel" really mean? How does the gospel really change us? This material lifts "the gospel" out of the trite and trendy and pushes it deep down into the everyday places where we live and work and worship and play.
Gospel Series: 'I've dated a lot of different curriculum in the past, but there's very little worth taking home to meet Mom. Too often, the writing is too high (too theoretical¿have you actually met a sinner before?), too emotive (talk to my head and my heart!) or too clunky (really? can I accomplish this in a week¿much less an evening?). WHM's new Gospel Series small group materials are rifle-ready for the foot soldier in the church to use without a lot of training, and they seem to have been written by real sinners/strugglers for fellow sinners/strugglers. Thanks, WHM, for something I can actually use!"
- Geoff Bradford, Pastor, Christ the King Presbyterian Church, Raleigh, NC

Who is Philly's Most Popular Player?15 01 2009
Warning: After reading this column you will want to respond. You will not be able to control yourself.
By Joe Mitchell
Someday soon it will be over. The career of Brian Dawkins. Watch closely. Cherish these moments. You will tell your children and grandchildren about him. There will be, and have been, other great running backs, hockey goalies, centerfielders and quarterbacks. We have never seen the like of Dawkins in a Philadelphia uniform.
Dawkins is the perfect Philadelphia athlete. First he plays football. Second he plays defense. Third HE HITS. Fourth, he cares. He gets as depressed as the fans after a loss.
Fifth. He hits. Sixth, he's basically a little guy. Seventh he hits. Eighth he loves the fans. Ninth he's been here a long time (this is critical) And, of course, he hits.
You'll talk for years about his hits on receivers foolish enough to cross the middle. And then you'll laugh when you talk about the next time the same receiver came across the same area and dropped the pass because he was looking over his shoulder.
So does all that make Dawkins the most popular Eagle or even most popular Philadelphia athlete ever? Read the rest of this entry »

Cheeks the Right Guy to Go…For Now13 12 2008
By Mike Gill
The Sixers finally decided enough was enough.
GM Ed Stefanski pulled the plug on the Mo Cheeks era, ending an up-and-down run in the city he helped win the 1983 NBA Title.
However, Cheeks was never really beloved by the fans, like Larry Bowa was with the Phillies. Neither in my opinion was a very good coach or manager, but their tiles to titles in the city seemed to give them a free pass when times were tough.
Stefanski had to make a move, after adding piece-after-piece this off season. Expectations were high for the Sixers, especially after a unexpected run into the playoffs last season. But the one move that Stefanski didn't make this off season was to hire a new coach and it could cost his high-priced team a shot at the playoffs.
This season got off to a rough start and the young Sixers have never seemed to get going under Cheeks, who as one Sixer insider told me, "If you give Mo 35 win talent, he will win you 35 games."
Maybe last year he won more games then he should have or maybe the team was good enough to win with their running style that it didn't matter that his X's and O's were subpar. Read the rest of this entry »

With today's signing of Theo Ratliff to a one-year contract, the 76ers have brought back an integral member of their group that led resurgence in the early part of this decade.

Mindjack's head not in the game until 2011
Mentok is very sad now.
The Square Enix-published Mindjack has lost its place in the suffocatingly crowded Fall 2010 videogame mob, and has elected to quietly slip into 2011.
A Square Enix rep passed the sobering news onto Siliconera, much to the chagrin of fans and mindtakers everywhere.
As for why the mind control-centric shooter's been delayed, the publisher didn't say. Maybe, if Mentok were feeling up to it, he could work a little of his largely inconsequential magic on Square Enix's tight-lipped employees. As is, though, we'll just try an email.

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) - The murder trial for a man charged in the shotgun killings of his two sisters and the mother-in-law of one has been delayed until January 2010.
Cleveland County District Judge Lori Walkley said Monday that new evidence surfaced Friday to force the trial of 52-year-old William Davis to be postponed.
Walkley prohibited attorneys in the case from discussing the nature of the new evidence.
District Attorney Greg Mashburn said Norman police brought the evidence to him Friday. But Mashburn says the information will not result in new charges against Davis.
Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for Davis in the
September 2007 shooting deaths of Tami Link, Sheila Ellis and
Letannah Bishop.

Twelfth Night (Mass Market Paperbound)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
Set in a topsy-turvy world like a holiday revel, this comedy devises a romantic plot around separated twins, misplaced passions, and mistaken identity. Juxtaposed to it is the satirical story of a self-deluded steward who dreams of becoming Count Malvolio only to receive his comeuppance at the hands of the merrymakers he wishes to suppress. The two plots combine to create a farce touched with melancholy, mixed throughout with seductively beautiful explorations on the themes of love and time, and the play ends, not with laughter, but with a clown's sad song.
Each Edition Includes:
Comprehensive explanatory notes
Vivid introductions and the most up-to-date scholarship
Clear, modernized spelling and punctuation, enabling contemporary readers to understand the Elizabethan English
Completely updated, detailed bibliographies and performance histories
An interpretive essay on film adaptations of the play, along with an extensive filmography.
About the Author
Arguably the greatest English-language playwright, William Shakespeare was a seventeenth-century writer and dramatist, and is known as the Bard of Avon. Under the patronage of Queen Elizabeth I, he penned more than 30 plays, 154 sonnets, and numerous narrative poems and short verses. Equally accomplished in histories, tragedies, comedy, and romance, Shakespeare s most famous works include Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Macbeth, King Lear, The Taming of the Shrew, and As You Like It.
Like many of his contemporaries, including Christopher Marlowe, Shakespeare began his career on the stage, eventually rising to become part-owner of Lord Chamberlain s Men, a popular dramatic company of his day, and of the storied Globe Theatre in London.
Extremely popular in his lifetime, Shakespeare s works continue to resonate more than three hundred years after his death. His plays are performed more often than any other playwright s, have been translated into every major language in the world, and are studied widely by scholars and students.

It is a sad day for motorsports fans near Salt Lake City, as Miller Motorsports Park will cease operations at the end of October this year, the track has announced.
The news comes from the Larry H. Miller Group (LHM), the track operator, which has decided not to renew its lease with Toole County on the property, thus effectively closing the track and ceasing its operations.
This news will not affect the schedule of racing events (including the MotoAmerica round in June), driving schools, public karting access, and other group activities that are currently planned at the facility, but it does raise some question marks regarding what will happen to the space once the LHM is no longer running it.

I'm working on an e-commerce application. When a user logs into my app, I want to make a check to my external subscription handler and make sure that their subscription is still active and not expired/failed/whatever.
I successfully figured out how to use a Warden callback in my
initializers/devise.rb to perform a check on the model after login. However, if there is a problem, I want to log them out again and redirect to a certain page that tells them what to do next.
Here is what I have. I know I can't use
redirect_to from the callback. Given that, what is the best way to do what I'm trying to do?
Warden::Manager.after_authentication do |user, auth, opts|
user.check_active_subscription # this works, and will raise one of several exceptions if something is goofy
redirect_to "/account/expired" # obviously this won't work, but see what I'm trying to do?

Product Description
Thirty years later, once he realized his efforts were not being used for good, Jarod escaped from the Centre. Psychiatrist and surrogate father Sydney (Carnivàle's velvet-voiced Patrick Bauchau) and sociopathic sidekick and Emma Peel lookalike Miss Parker (ER's Andrea Parker) have been trying to track him down ever since. Theyre assisted by the technically proficient, if socially inept Broots (Napoleon Dynamite's Jon Gries). Each and every time, Jarod eludes their grasp, but not before helping some stranger who's been dealt an injustice (just as he once was). Along the way, he hopes to figure out who he is and where he came from.
Each of these 21 episodes moves deftly from Jarod's lonely past to his more satisfying, if precarious present (the human "science project" was constantly videotaped as a boy, hence the abundance of footage from his childhood). It's a worthy successor to paranoid thrillers like The Fugitive and the unjustly obscure Nowhere Man (from X-Files creator Chris Carter), and the droll performance of Weiss (Jeffrey) adds a dose of levity to a concept usually painted with a darker palette. The Pretender ran on NBC for four seasons and was followed by two TV movies, The Pretender 2001 and Isle of the Haunted. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

How Do You Rate A Country?
It's easy enough to imagine how an agency like Standard & Poor's rates a company: Look at the books and try to estimate the chances that the company will pay back the money it's borrowing.
But how does S&P rate a country?
It's not an idle question — just ask Greece, Spain or Portugal, all of which have been downgraded by big ratings agencies recently as Europe's debt crisis intensified.
So: To start with, S&P sends two analysts to the country that's being rated. It seems like a small number for a whole country. But Joydeep Mukherji, who is one of the people who rates countries for S&P, says it's enough.
"What we're looking at is fairly narrow," he says. "Can you pay your debt fully and on time? What's your ability and willingness to do so?"
The analysts spend at least a few days meeting with officials at the ministry of finance and the country's central bank. They talk to politicians and business people. They fly home and write up a report.
A group of about five analysts gets together in a conference room and spends a few hours hashing out the details about the country. And then, the big, dramatic moment when the rating is decided amounts to something like a simple vote by a show of hands.
This is a very big deal. Last week, S&P dropped Greece below a dreaded threshold when the agency lowered the country's rating from BBB+ to BB+. That took Greece out of the "investment grade" range and down into what the market calls "junk" status. That has a big impact. Some bond funds will only buy investment grade bonds. Pension funds and banks — voluntarily, or by regulatory requirement — have similar restrictions on what they can buy.
Because of the ramifications of downgrading a country to junk status, Mukherji says, "We think deeper and longer and harder about going across that line."
Still, some critics say the very act of downgrading a country to junk status is harmful. Mukherji disagrees.
"It's not the rating which caused the problem," he says. "The problem was there."

Capitol Hill Critics Second-Guess Agencies Using...
Menarini and Oxford BioTherapeutics (OBT) inked a strategic alliance to develop a portfolio of antibody-based drugs against cancer. The deal includes five of OBT's antibody and antibody drug conjugate (ADC) programs, each of which targets a different cancer. Under terms of the agreement, Menarini will head the initial clinical development and manufacturing programs for each product, and OBT will provide the cancer target, antibody, and arming technologies.
Once clinical proof-of-concept has been achieved, OBT will take over clinical development and commercialization of the products in North America and Japan, and Menarini will have responsibilities for development and commercialization in Europe, CIS, Asia, and Latin America. OBT's newly established development operation in Switzerland will support the overall collaboration. Menarini projects the collaboration could involve an investment of €800 million.
"This creative alliance is transformational for us, as it allows OBT to participate in the clinical development and future commercialization of our programs, while at the same time it bolsters Menarini's pipeline with a portfolio of next-generation cancer drugs," remarks Christian Rohlff, OBT's CEO. "We believe this innovative business framework could become the business model of choice for rapidly growing biotechnology companies seeking new ways to develop their drug pipeline effectively."
OBT is focused on the development of targeted antibody-based drugs and companion diagnostics against cancer targets discovered in its Oxford Genome Anatomy Project (OGAP®) protein database, which combines proteomic, genomic, and clinical data. Through ongoing collaborations the firm has broad access to Medarex' UltiMab Human Antibody Development System®, and Amgen's Xenomouse® platform to generate fully human antibodies against OBT targets. OBT in addition has an ongoing diagnostics partnership with Biosite, which provides the ability to generate antibodies using the latter's Omniclonal® and Transphage systems.

Protea Hotel Kruger Gate: "Down by the riverside" South Africa Hotel Tip by TheWanderingCamel
South Africa Hotels: 254 reviews and 319 photos
Easter and school holidays meant we couldn't book another night in the partk itself at Kruger, so we did the next best thing and stayed at the Protea Hotel just outside the Paul Kruger Gate. It was very nice - set in lovely gardens, with big, comfortable rooms, good service, an excellent buffet dinner included in the tarriff and a yummy breakfast ( great curried vegetables amongst a table groaning with goodies) both served in the attractive restaurant which has a huge deck area for eating under the stars .
We were only staying overnight so really weren't bothered with all the other facilities the hotel has to offer -golf, swimming, game rides and walks, etc - but they are all there so check the website.
Some rooms are set up for people with disabilities.
Unique Qualities: Walkways through the gardens lead down to the Treehouse bar where you can sit high over the river and watch for game - hippo were playing about when we were there enjoying a long sundowner.
Price Comparison: more expensive than average
Directions: 100 metres from Paul Kruger Gate entrance to Kruger Park
Price: US$120-180

Eric Risberg, Associated Press
CHICAGO — Morphine and similar powerful painkillers are sometimes prescribed to recent war veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress along with physical pain, and the consequences can be tragic, a government study suggests.
These vets are at high risk for drug and alcohol abuse, but they're two times more likely to get prescriptions for addictive painkillers than vets with only physical pain, according to the study, billed as the first national examination of the problem. Iraq and Afghanistan vets with PTSD who already had substance abuse problems were four times more likely to get these drugs than vets without mental health problems, according to the study.
Subsequent suicides, other self-inflicted injuries, and drug and alcohol overdoses were all more common in vets with PTSD who got these drugs. These consequences were rare but still troubling, the study authors said.
The results underscore the challenge of treating veterans with devastating physical injuries and haunting memories of the horrors of war. But the findings also suggest that physicians treating these veterans should offer less risky treatment, including therapies other than drugs, the study authors and other experts say.
Opium-based drugs like morphine and hydrocodone can dull excruciating physical pain. Relatively few veterans are prescribed such drugs. But some doctors likely prescribe them for vets who also have mental pain "with the hope that the emotional distress that accompanies chronic pain will also be reduced. Unfortunately, this hope is often not fulfilled, and opioids can sometimes make emotional problems worse," said Michael Von Korff, a chronic illness researcher with Group Health Research Institute, a Seattle-based health care system. He was not involved in the study.
The research involved all veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan wars who were diagnosed with non-cancer physical pain from October 2005 through December 2010 — or 141,029 men and women. Half of them also were diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder or other mental health problems.
The results were published Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The Department of Veterans Affairs paid for the study, which is based on VA health care data.
Lead author Dr. Karen Seal, who treats patients at the San Francisco VA Medical Center, said she sometimes prescribes opiates for war vets, but only if other painkillers don't work, and only in collaboration with non-drug treatment from mental health experts, occupational therapists and other specialists.
That type of approach is part of a VA pain management policy adopted in 2009, toward the end of the study period.
Dr. Robert Kerns, the VA's national program director for pain management, said the study "draws attention to growing concerns" about the use of opiate painkillers in veterans. These drugs may have a role in treating chronic pain in vets but only as part of a comprehensive pain management plan, he said.
In a written statement about the study, the VA said its pain management approach has been cited as a model of care, but that "we recognize that more work needs to be done."
Retired Lt. Col. Steve Countouriotis, a 30-year Army veteran who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, says that after returning home a few years ago, he received a morphine prescription for war-related back and shoulder pain. He refused to take it and used aspirin instead.
"I don't feel comfortable taking those kinds of medicines," said Countouriotis, 60, of Petaluma, Calif. "I don't like mood-altering drugs." He said he doesn't have PTSD, but that some colleagues who do have also been given the drugs.
Doctors are too quick to prescribe them, Countouriotis said, adding, "It's too many, too soon."

Homo Ted Haggard: Non-Gay For Pay?
posted by November 27 at 13:45 PMon
Per Dave's post from earlier today: It appears that Rev. Ted Haggard is going to be in some sort of gay-sex-and-meth reprogram camp for the next three to five years. Wow! It takes a long time to beat the gay out of someone who doesn't even want to be gaywho knew? Can you imagine how long it would take to de-gay someone like me? Someone who wakes up every day thrilled to itsy-bitsy pieces that he's a pole smoker? Still, that doesn't stop the right-wing Christian nuts from sending me emails about the miracle that awaits me if I should just accept Jesus H. Christ as my personal trainer. Or something.
A lot of letters explaining that Jesus is laying in wait, ready to pounce, and change me from gay to straight came in after I threatened in a recent column to bitch-slap the next fundie douche who sent me a note about Jesus flipping my switch. Jesus is ready to work a miracle in my life, they tell me, even if he can't be bothered to work on in Haggard's. (Having seen my boyfriend in Speedo, I'd say Jesus already worked a miracle in my life.) The arrival of these letters can only mean one thing: there are a lot fundies out there who want to be slapped around by fags. (In that column I also threatened to shit in Paula Zahn's mouth if she ran another credulous piece about ex-gay conversion therapy. She hasn't, so clearly Zahn doesn't want me to shit in her mouth.)
But that's not what I this post is about. What I really wondered, after reading about the long, hard road in front Ted Haggard was this: Are they paying him? Haggard has a wife and a familysix hungry mouths to, uh, feed. If he spends all his time having the gay beat out of him, how is Haggard going to support his wife and kids? How will he keep a roof over their heads?
Which makes me wonder…
Is Ted Haggard drawing some sort of salary while he's on his big ex-gay adventure? And if he is, how are we supposed to view it as something other than hush money? Haggard embarrassed the hell out of his evangelical buddies; Dobson seems beside himself with less-than-Christian rage. What really annoys them about Haggard's fall from grace is how neatly it gives the lie to their whole ex-gay argument. Again, if Jesus didn't make Haggard straight, and if it's going to take five years for the top evangelical ministers in the country to pray the gay out of himagainwhat "hope" is there for the rest of us? Why should we bother?
Being a cynic and a fag that believes that male homosexuality is innate and fixed, I can't help but wonder if Big Gay Ted is being bought off. The last thing the evangelicals want is for Big Gay Ted to pull a Jim "I Am a Gay American" McGreevey. They don't want Big Gay Ted to come out, renounce his previous support for ex-gay ministries, write a book, and go on Oprah.
We can't see what's inside Big Gay Ted's heartor pants, or rectum, or anything elsebut I think we have a right to ask how Big Gay Ted is supporting himself these days. If he is getting some sort of salary or stipend, then we have a right to doubt his sincerity. Big Gay Ted may want to come out now but can'tnot with an angry wife and five furious children to support.
After the jump: Some of the letters I've received from fundie douches about Jesus wanting to change my sexual orientation. Be warned: The letters are long, and the first is from a person didn't get that "mea gulpa" was an oral sex joke.
Subject: Re: Reply to Confused Coloradoan on Nov.17 in HK Magazine
To Dan Savage,
I think it was the first time I ever read your column in the HK Magazine and I cannot help but want to reply to your column about the Ted Haggard scandal.
I can see where your point was coming from being someone who does not practice religion but I really like to share with you a few points myself. Don't worry, I am not another typical Protestant evangelical or fundie you wrote about.
Yes, it is true that giving your heart to Jesus will bring about abundant graces and amazing transformation but only if you open yourself up to receiving His graces. Anything is possible through Christ "for nothing is impossible with God". (Luke 1:37) This is called faith. "Faith is the realization of what is hoped for and evidence of things not seen." (Hebrews 11:1) The faith of Christians is not a superstitious one. It is true that sometimes faith may bring about miracles but miracles do not happen all the time. Just because there is no miracle doesn't mean our God is not real or the Almighty One. God has a plan and a time for everyone and everything - which is something we can never fully comprehend or fathom. But one thing we can be sure of, as Christians believe God is with us through the good times and bad times. We must not give up our faith when the going gets tough. God likes to test us to "refine us like gold" in order to make us stronger. That is how we learn and grow, through trial and suffering. We hold on to our faith even when things don't go the way we expect them to. This is called perseverence.
Do you know the story of Job from the Old Testament? Or how about the Beatitudes Jesus taught us, "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven, blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.." (Matthew 5: 3-4) Do not be afraid to suffer, for our reward will be great in heaven. God draws closer to Him those who suffer. Our life is a process to grow in likeness to Jesus and it is a journey home to God where we belong. St. Augustine wrote in his famous Confessions, "You (God) have made us for yourself and our heart is restless, until they rest in you."
God didn't refuse to cure Haggard. Haggard refused to let himself be cured. As he himself mentioned, he is constantly fighting temptations throughout his life but I guess he chose sin over God most of the time. He obviously didn't practice what he preached. God has always been there for him but he decided to choose himself over God. He gave in to his weakness. (check out Romans whole of chapter 6) Everyone has weaknesses where Satan can attack us but as Christians we strive not to give in, the more virtuous we try to become, the more temptations Satan will bring against us
because he wants to take us away from God. It is a lifetime struggle but this is the purpose of life. Life is a gift from God for us to prepare ourselves for eternal life with Him.
"Therefore, we are not discouraged; rather, although our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this momentary light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to what is seen but to what is unseen; for what is seen is transitory, but what is unseen is eternal." (2 Corinthians 4:16-8)
The God of Christianity is not like the Buddha where worshippers pay for some incense, pray to win the lottery and then wait for some miracle to happen. God knows what is best for us and sometimes we don't always get what we pray for because what we really want may not be good for us but God will only gives us what is best for us.
Yeah well, Haggard founded a church with thousands of members but he can still be a sinner. Many popes from the Middle Ages were corrupt too, and Catholic priests
also have sexual scandals, so what? That's life, that's human. Only Jesus (God Himself) is holy and perfect. What we try to do in this life time is to strive to become like Jesus so we may be worth of our salvation - that Jesus came into the world to suffer
and die for us so that we may be saved. (see Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ). God wants to show us this unconditional, self-giving love and He wants us to love Him and to love others in the same way. This agape love is given to us for free and God
doesn't expect anything in return. He gave us free will so we may choose to turn to Him ourselves. God is all powerful, He could have made us all love him from the beginning of time but no He wants us to love Him freely with our own hearts.
Salvation is not a single moment or one time experience but a life time refining process until we see God face to face. I think the problem with Haggard, like most evangelicals, is that they believe once they believe, they are saved. They believe the
grace of God and their faith is enough. That is true to a certain extent but we also need to show our faith is real and alive through our actions, aka "good works". This doesn't mean we are earning our salvation. This only means we obey God's commandments and we strive to live a holy life out of love for God (though this is extremely difficult, believe me, but the faithful continue to strive) and it will be a life
time process as I already mentioned. Jesus himself said "Not everyone who calls me Lord, Lord will go into heaven." Only those who do His will will gain eternal life. Martin Luther who broke away from the Catholic Church and brought about the Reformation
(hence Protestantism), said it was ok to continue to sin because once he believed, he was already saved.
Now that was a twisted interpretation of faith. When we come to believe in God, we are promised salvation if we persevere in our faith. If we only believe with our mouth but continue to sin in body and heart (unrepentant), there will be a good chance we will go to hell. I am not only talking about Haggard but everyone of us.
The life of a Christian is not an easy one. Our commitment must be founded on true and persevering faith. Everyone one of us struggle with temptation every day of our lives, especially priests but with faith we strive harder to fight against them all the time. How do you know what Haggard did to fight against his temptations?
I do feel compassion for Haggard. Yes, he has fallen but he can rise again if he really wants to, by the grace of God. And God will forgive him if he truly feels sorry for his sins. We die and rise every day with Christ. God gives us a new chance every day to follow Jesus. Every day is another chance, so how many more graces are we going to let slip by our hands? Faith, hope, and love will help. Prayer will definitely help. And the cross of Jesus will help too if you have true faith. Stop denying yourself and open yourself to God and He will make you truly free!
Disasters, tragedies and sufferings will continue to happen everyday but Christians do not abandon our faith, we grow stronger and persevere. We are warriors - militeschristi - soldiers of Christ.
I believe God has a plan for you too one day. You just need to admit to yourself that you need Him in your heart too. God is love. And I believe in miracles, we just don't know when and how they will occur but God works in mysterious ways.
May the love and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you always,
a devout Catholic
P.S. it should be mea culpa and not "mea gulpa"
Subject: Who's the Burden Bitch?
Hey Faggot,
So now you have the opportunity to express who is the burden and who is the righteous (for those of you faggots out there who are too busy in sodomy to read the scripture righteous is those who believe God. They are ALWAYS in the minority and they ALWAYS win why because that's how God illustrates his sovereignty). So the belief of the Asses (Democrats) is that the Word of God is stale bread. Is that so? So the Asses are going to vote up for themselves a superior Law to God's Word. I don't doubt it. Actually the scripture tells us that people will reject Jesus for Beelzebub (the one who tells you that you can rewrite the Bible to say what you want and still be blessed). You Faggot, have done just that. And what's more you did it directly after the Saints extended a hand of friendship to you. Well aren't you wiser than Moses and Jesus. So I encourage you to mobilize your new Law of Beelzebub and try to make it the law of the United States. The feminists worship Artemis instead of Shekina, the faggots worship Beelzebub instead of Jesus, the Socialists worship Belial instead of Shekina, all of them will fail to be blessed AGAIN. It is the Saints who carry hedonists like yourself. I would sooner live in a smaller country than live in a country that says the Constitution is greater than the Bible. I'm sure you want it the other way around. How curious you also ride the ass of you partner. Man was made in Gods image and the way you have sex its easier to do if you don't see your partners face. Likewise its easier for you to be comfortable (you believe) if you cannot see God's face. I am not the one who doesn't want you to live in a country where "In God we Trust" is not on the money. I am not the one who doesn't want you to live in a country where Beelzebub is God. I'm not the one who wants you to live in a country where the lowest common denominator is the highest priority. I want you to live in a place like that were people "Do as thou wilst!" I just don't want the burden that comes along with living in a place like that. If you want to stick your penis in a place that rots then do it, just don't ask me to live in a place where we call it "Good," because its not. I've been patient with you and you decided to slap me for it. I would rather see the blood of my brother (people who do believe in the Word) spilled on the ground than call a curse a blessing to children. I will not condemn a child with lawlessness and call it good the way that you do. So I hope you do pass your amoral laws for your own selfish ends. And I will take that information back to the righteous and ask them to shed the burden of the Socialists through war. Knowing full well that I know how Beelzebub is under the feet of the Christ and you do not as your people attack the Lords people Beelzebub will claim your lives for himself. And he will laugh at you in your damnation.
Subject: Jesus Can Cure You
I read your rant against Ted Haggard. Let me be the first to tell you that Jesus can set you free from your sinful sexual behavior. I don't know what it is specifically, and don't need to know the specifics, but Jesus can set you free. Jesus can set Ted Haggard free as well. Haggard's mistake was hiding in shame, instead of bringing the struggle to the light, so that the Body of Christ could minister to him. There is hope and healing in Jesus.
I am involved in a ministry called Living Waters; a program of Desert Stream. It's a ministry to those who struggle with sexual sin (including homosexual sin) and relational problems. You might have heard of it, seeing that you are vehemently opposed to such ministries. We would welcome you to come seeking healing. I know several people who used to be "in the lifestyle", but are finding true joy in life without subjecting themselves to additional degradation. It isn't easy to walk out of something you have practiced for decades; but it is possible. All things are possible with God.
In Christ's Love, Tom

When I feel ill I treat myself to a nice hot bowl of Pho, the Vietnamese Noodle soup. MMMmmm the Jalapenos and Basil along with that delcious broth clear my sinuses and seem to push illness right out of my body.
You'll need a steady supply of BJs from your girlfriend if you're ever to get through this.
I put on my favorite raggedy old sweatshirt (the comforting effect of a security blanket, only with sleeves), dope myself with DayQuil (why suffer needlessly?), and watch movies in bed all day long. Also, invest in some Airborne, so next time when you start to feel sick you can head it off at the pass!
Miso soup is good, too, and easy to make at home.
Lots of herbal tea: Lemon Echinacea Throat Coat and Herbi-Tussin are two faves of mine. Or just boil some ginger in water for 15 minutes or so and serve with honey.
And, yes, lots of TV. Of course. Do you have any good DVDs lying around? I was sick last week and watched several Family Guys in a row. Good times.
If you get sick of TV, try re-watching one of your all-time favorite movies on DVD with the subtitles on in English. It's kinda like reading a book, but funner.
If you're feeling sporty, stick with cable and play "Count the Bryman ads."
Two words: BONG HIT
I was going to recommend the same thing as comment # 6.
Two full mugs of warm..not hot..Sake
accompanied by a rerun of this season's
Chicago Bears trouncing the Seattle
You'll sleep quickly and well.
I ask my "sugarbitch" to go out and buy me something. Cough syrup and dvd's are nice, though I really hope she'll come through with something like glow-in-the-dark ceiling stars. While I'm lying in bed, I can look up her skirt as she maps out the Milky Way!
I'm a big proponent of Airborne, although it might be a bit late for that for you. I also love Tylenol PM for the sleepiness. I once took some Vicadin for a cold and that was nice, didn't remember a thing!
Kiss My Face, the provocatively-named brand of bath/shower gels, makes a Cold & Flu formula that rocks. I think I picked it up at Trader Joe's.
That stuff, a shot of whiskey in my TheraFlu ("a hot liquid like doctors recommend") and liberal doses of Game Show Network work for me.
Drugs and Butterscotch snak paks
BJs are not a medically proven remedy.
You can't beat the classics - warm blankie, hot soup, tea with honey and whiskey, and Young Frankenstein. But who the hell ever gets to do that anymore, with work assuming that since you're just sitting there at home, you'll be only too happy to deal with your emails and beeping you on your frigging Blackberry and wanting you to VPN in and deal with every little thing? Who actually gets to take a sick day and NOT WORK anymore?
Dayquil, Thai Tom Yum Noodle Soup, 2-3 stars dependong on your tolerance (the hot broth & spiciness do wonders), a hot drink (spiked or no), and a bunch of pillows so Reese can put you to sleep.
Classic video games.
drink hot lemonade made with honey, lemon, and boiling water. suck on throat lozenges. sleep lots.
i also like to reread "little women" but i realize this may not be the thing for everyone. i dislike tv and movies when i am sick.
garlic tea
2,4,6 (for medical use: moderation. for recreation: whatever it takes),17.
@13 - Doesn't hurt to try.
I am not joking.
When you feel yourself getting sick, get drunk on your hard liquor of choice if you have the next day off. Drink two tall glasses of water before going to bed.
On weekdays, drink a swig of gin in the AM and again before bed.
The alcohol kills bacteria, which viruses use to reproduce.
Chineese food (especially BBQ pork with lots of hot mustard)...and a couple bong hits (use hot water with lemon).
Sweat it out! A hot bath with a couple of handfuls of Epsome salts (to suck the ick out), and a couple of handfuls of baking soda (to keep you from getting deydrated), stay in there at least half an hour, and drink waaaay too much water. Also, and this is probably just me, I like to watch the entire 'Anne of Green Gables' series... It's weird. It's like comfort food for my brain. But, seriously, the bath will totally help! Get well soon.
Hey, are you really SICK?!! You have the energy to Slog and watch movies. Perhaps you are faking it, dammit. Will someone from the office go over to Bradley's and make sure he really is sick; not fucking off and causing the rest of staff
to do his work for him. Thank you.
For any illness involving head stuffyiness, Than Brothers vegetarian pho is a must! Upset stomach comfort food is saltines and ginger ale.
When I'm sick, I like to reread my many years worth of old Love and Rockets comics. Sometimes I reread Agatha Christie or Dick Francis novels too, but I find comics are better suited to my hazy brain on those days.
Or maybe you deserve to be sick for making me think this post was going to be about Seattle's greatest band of all time.
Otherwise, hot soup and masturbation, both are good for encouraging sleep.
Step-by-step instructions:
1)OJ or Airborne for that Vitamin C boost.
2)One of everything in the medicine cabinet.
3)Bong Hit.
4)Bj, Sick sex (that means your partner does the work), or masturbation.
5)Soup and hot tea, (made by partner or take out).
6)Podcasts of This American Life.
7)Sleeping like a baby.
Repeat steps 4-6 as necessary.
There's nothing like a muscle relaxant and something warm in your tummy that aids rest. And it helps to listen to books on tape or This American Life, so you can close your eyes and enjoy.
Alisa's answer is the best: hot bath. Half an hour is sad, though; shoot for at least an hour, preferably two. Refill with more hot as needed.
And lots and lots and lots of fluids; water is boring, so drink 1/3 juice to 2/3 water: grape, cranberry, blueberry, pomegranate. If your tummy is upset add bubbles: Fresca is terrific mixed with a little grape juice. Or the classic remedy, ginger ale. If anyone asks if you're peeing in that hot bath, you don't have to tell them.
Try to avoid medicines besides aspirin unless you're desperate; they just postpone the inevitable. If your headache is out of control a little decongestant or antihistamine is good -- but just a little, half the dose on the package. If you're a big coffee drinker, you'll need Excedrin to avoid caffeine withdrawal; coffee itself is not a good idea.
For sleep, don't read comics; read something really difficult and boring. Keep the lights low, avoid noise, and cultivate the perfect pathetic whine to encourage sympathy from your partner. It's good to be fussed over, re-tucked in, daubed with a cool washcloth, etc.
Chicken soup is the best food. Soak bland bread or saltine crackers in it.
Dope yourself up on (pick one) DayQuil, NyQuil, mimosas, bong hits, and watch Miyazaki movies... I suggest 'Spirited Away' for the ultimate 'WTF?' moments. Do this all while wrapped in the comforter from your bed and crashed on the couch.
Also, garlic soup (like French Onion, but better) is my personal miracle cure.
Add fresh ginger and cayenne to OJ( they used to make that silver-bullet-of-a-cure the Green Cat) and watch The Empire Strikes Back. Works for me every time...

SPOILER ALERT: This blog post contains spoilers from episodes 4 and 5 of NBC's "The Event."
Since I didn't blog about it last week, here's a quick synopsis of episode 4 of "The Event":
- The airplane passengers, now alive, didn't remember anything about the crash. As the episode progressed, those recovering victims all started having bloody noses and deteriorating physically.
- Sean continued his hunt for Leila (who was being held by Vicky and company) with FBI agent Collier. They wound up at Vicky's mother's house in (of all places) Lubbock, where Sean found out that Vicky has a son she is keeping a secret.
- Leila, meanwhile, had been stowed away in nearby Snyder. She escaped, but only because her captors were using her as bait to lure Sean to them.
- The show confirmed that Thomas is a rogue extraterrestrial. He is tired of waiting for the release of the detainees, so he called the president (well, technically he called a cell phone apparently planted in the president's son's backpack) and threatened death to the airplane passengers unless his people, the detainees, are set free. Sophia warned the president that Thomas is dangerous and told him to comply to Thomas's demands.
In last night's episode, the plot thickened.
- The showdown between president Martinez and Thomas reached its climax. The president refused to release the detainees; Thomas refused to give the antidote that he has promised if they were freed. The president said he would kill the detainees if the antidote wasn't delivered. Thomas agreed to provide the antidote if one detainee is released: Sophia. The president conceded.
Thomas is at odds with Sophia about how to proceed, so why does he want her now? What is he planning?
- Sean took the bait from episode 4, but he learned at the last minute that Leila's arrival at the police station in Snyder was a trap. He used his knowledge of Vicky's son as leverage to help Leila escape. They reconnected and took one of Vicky's co-conspirators with them.
Lingering questions:
- Where are the extraterrestrials from? We know that the place they did come from is much more technologically advanced than our world. What do they want? What have they wanted all along?
- In the 1944 flashback, it appeared that many extraterrestrials escaped before being found. How many? Side note: Apparently Thomas was influential in the Manhattan Project (developing atomic bombs), but his concern was how the extraterrestrials might benefit from its usage.
- Still, how and why is Sean connected to these happenings? Why do Vicky and her co-conspirators want him?
Are you still intrigued? I'm hooked, for sure. And apparently, NBC isn't disappointed with "The Event" either. Just yesterday, the network green-lighted a full season of the show. Excellent.
