He is more important than Varrot or Largo in the anime. He have too much screen time |

How so? Damon hardly ever appears in the game, except to argue with Varrot. Varrot on the other hand gets a lot more screen time, as fitting of an interesting character and direct superior of Squad 7.
Or did you mean "because it was done right in the game so they had to screw it up in the anime"? In which case it's nothing new. |

This episode was really good. We see that even the Sevens of whom we are to feel as the "good guys" are still human and feel peer pressure from the opinions of the other squad.
We also have to remember that Alicia was truly frightening, so it's only natural to have fear of her. I know someone with a mental condition and I'm pretty scared when talking to her because one time she stopped taking her pills (or summink) and she really went violent. So even now I can't see that person in the same light. |

"Hey, I know you can overpower a battalion of tanks on your own, but feel free to return to your squad and run alongside your tank with a normal rifle." Fat chance that *any* general would agree with that. The option would be... putting Squad 7 in the lead for the entire army? Right. Sucks for Alicia and Welkin nonetheless. Sure Damon puts it in the worst possible way, but someone had to say it. Other than that I don't mind if he drops dead next episode, having a serious general say it instead of some bad guy stereotype would've had better impact.
If Alicia was more shrewd she could've used the fact that everyone fears her to her advantage. ~ If I don't get reunited with my squad, I might become emotionally unstable and accidently annihilate our side. <3 ~ But well, that failed due to everyone's, including her own, thoughts and emotions. Not least Squad 7 who turned their back on her, which was disappointing, but as people have mentioned, not too surprising. I'm really curious about Alicia's flashback. If that was a normal orphanage, why on earth would they examine her like that? Did they know about her heritage but she somehow managed to escape? Was the fact that Selvaria also was there just a coincidence, or were all the children Valkyrur descendants? I sure hope we don't see a whole army of lance&shield-troopers. ^^ Welkin continues being a wimp, though improving. Do I sense a future where Selvaria almost manages to defeat an unmotivated Alicia, but then Gunther jr comes running, reviving Alicia's will to fight? |

Build a bonfire Put Fat Damon on the top Put Faldio in the middle And we'll burn the freakin' lot! As I said earlier, Welkin or somebody else among Sevens should have done more to keep Alicia with them. By means, I mean anything: a night-time chat with the Pig with knives at hand or some blackmail about something illegal from the general (about that, I can't take away that picture of a candid Matthew Broderick blackmailing a general about smuggling operations, asking for combat action in exchange of full silence in Glory). Should the anime version of Welkin have been portrayed upon Matthew Broderick's character for this part, I would be feeling better because the end result would have been to keep Alicia with the squad. Say what you want about how Sevens feel about Alicia after discovering her valkyria powers, but where is the concept of a "band of brothers" (and sisters if we talk about the many girls in the squad)? Did Michiko Yokote completely forget about that to make Sevens turn their backs on Alicia so quickly? In any war story, this concept of strong bonds of brotherhood/sisterhood is extremely important to exploit (because it's a real deal!) and only an idiot wouldn't understand that. When I see Alicia crying like that, without receiving more support from her own comrades and friends since months... I say that's pathetic to see how the writer is an utter ignorant of life. |

Thats why I find RedWing' comparison incorrect, because he talks about normal life situations while war builds experience that is different from normal. Thats why the whole sudden alienation thing looks like a very poorly written and unrealistic attempt for tension from an incapable scrip writer. |

Welkin should've punched Faldio when they were talking in the tent. I thought he'd do it, but he didn't Wonder what they're gonna do to our favorite male lead character now?
Poor Alicia! Poor Squad 7! Aisha's "Alicia's scary!" line was really sad to hear. Obviously they're going to come around next ep when they brawl with the army, it's the rule of nakama. The ending scene was also pretty powerfully sad, with Alicia taking her head-thing off and doing the "I'm not the same anymore" line. I rated the ep a 7/10, it moved a bit slowly for me, and Welkin didn't pull the "I love you" card like he should've. Maybe next time. |

If you have to find something to praise this show about, it is creating a character in the "good" side that you can hate. I hate that general more than any of the empire members. Valkyrie chronicles is successful at creating a character you can enjoy wishing to die a painful death.

ln the game they showed little to no reaction to finding out that alicia was a valkyrie after the event....they just proceeded on to the next battle. Even in the game welkin didn't know how to comfort alicia.... So if they keep the upcoming events intact with that epic scene from welkin involving alicia....it would make more sense... since the somewhat rejection she felt from her friends/squad and that talk with a certain character lead her to believe the actions she is about to do in the future is her only path for her..... makes it more powerful....even more so when it activates the epic welkin moment. |

Let me play the devil's advocate here though and point out that General Damon is indirectly the reason why Gallia is winning the war. After all he's the one who's been pushing Squad 7 into all desperate fights which they ultimately won |

Damon was no not as much of an idiot as he was in the show. I posted this before, but I will do so again. In the anime, he barred Platoon 7 from participating because they were apparently, too successful to his tastes. In the game, he had no grudges against Platoon 7, no grudges against Welkin and possibly even an admirer of his father. He was far more pragmatic and practical in the game.
It can almost be argued that he used Platoon 7 the way he did throughout the game, sending them to participate in difficult missions against impossible odds because he probably respected Platoon 7's strength. - Tak

Super Bowl XLVII started the festivities with a performance of "America the Beautiful" by the Sandy Hook Elementary School Chorus and Oscar-winner Jennifer Hudson. What did you think, sports fans?
We found the kids singing at first by themselves to be the real moment of the performance. It wasn't like it had the immediacy of when the New York children's choir sang "Silent Night" during "Saturday Night Live" the day following the horrible shooting, but for some reason it still really got to us. Probably just from imagining what that whole poor community went through.
In fact, we actually could've done with J-Hud, not that she didn't look and sound beautiful. But those kids were doing just fine on their own. Video below.
What do you think, Pop2it readers? Do you agree that it should've been just the kids?

"My heart aches for the victims and the families and my mind searches for answers," Penn State University's interim president, Rodney Erickson, just said at the opening of a meeting of the school's board of trustees.
WPVI-TV is streaming the meeting here.
Erickson was referring, of course, to the arrest last weekend of former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky for the alleged sexual abuse of at least eight young boys over the past decade, and the aftershocks that this week led to the firing of head coach Joe Paterno and school President Graham Spanier.
Sandusky says he's innocent. Paterno has not been charged with any crime. But Paterno has come under fire because a grand jury report says that after being told in 2002 about an incident involving Sandusky and a young boy in the Penn State locker room, he informed the school's athletic director but took no other action and did not prevent Sandusky (who had retired in 1999) to continue coming on campus.
Erickson also said this morning that the scandal is "a tragedy for many lives and it will take all of us some time to come to grips with the full magnitude of the damage that has been done."
But, he added, "I want all Penn Staters to know that our future is still bright" and that "our core values … will define this university long after we've gone." Those values: "honesty, integrity, excellence and community."
Later today, the trustees plan to appoint a special committee to "determine what failures occurred" at the university.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. OverviewThe Flutterscotch is an insectoid piñata found in the Viva Piñata series of video games developed by Rare Ltd. It resembles a butterfly in its appearance, with four large wings, a proboscis, and two antennae. As with all piñata, its name is derived from the name of the animal it resembles and the name of a tasty sweet treat; 'Flutterscotch' is derived from 'flutter-by' (an alternative name for the butterfly) and 'butterscotch' (a toffee-like confectionery made from brown sugar and butter). Color VariationsThe Flutterscotch is white by default, but its color may be changed through choice manipulation of its diet. By feeding the piñata different kinds of flower, it is possible to change the Flutterscotch's color. All the permutations of this fascinating phenomenon can be seen below: Flutterscotch ColorType of Flower RedPoppy GreenWatercress YellowButtercup BlueBluebell Orange Bird of Paradise BrownBullrush PurpleThistle PinkWater Lily BlackTulip In Viva PiñataIn the original Viva Piñata for Xbox 360, the Flutterscotch is one of the first piñata species that the player will encounter. It is a flower-loving pinata, and requires the player to plant daisies in their garden before it will appear. Its full range of requirements is listed below: Appear RequirementsHave one daisy in the garden.Visit RequirementsHave two daisies in the garden.Resident RequirementsHave four daisies in the garden.Romance RequirementsHas eaten one piece of any type of fruit.A Flutterscotch House has been built in the garden. In Viva Piñata: Trouble in ParadiseThe Flutterscotch makes its return in the series' second Xbox 360 outing, Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise. Its full range of requirements for both the main game and the Just For Fun mode are listed below: Main Game RequirementsAppear RequirementsHave one daisy in the garden.Visit RequirementsHave two daisies in the garden.Resident RequirementsHave four daisies in the garden. Romance RequirementsIn the main game portion of Trouble in Paradise, the different color variations of Flutterscotch are all treated as different species of pi ñata, and as such they all have their own individual set of romance requirements. In addition to needing a Flutterscotch House in their garden, the player must feed the Flutterscotch a particular foodstuff pertaining to their current color. These differences are outlined in the table below: Flutterscotch ColorRomance Requirment White Snowdrop Red Holly Berry Green Gooseberry Yellow Corn Blue Blueberry Orange Orange Brown Hazelnut Purple Turnip Pink Radish Black Blackberry Just For Fun RequirementsAppear RequirementsHave one daisy in the garden.Visit RequirementsHave one daisy in the garden.Resident RequirementsHave one daisy in the garden.Romance RequirementsA Flutterscotch House has been built in the garden. TricksTrouble in Paradise added the ability to teach pi ñata different tricks. The Flutterscotch has two different tricks that are consistent across all its color variations. The first of these may be witnessed by feeding the Flutterscotch a Snowdrop seed, and the second may be seen by feeding the Flutterscotch a Bluebell seed. These tricks may be learned permanently and executed on demand by using the Trick Stick.In Viva Piñata: Pocket ParadiseThe Flutterscotch is one of the many species of pi ñata which appears on the franchise's DS iteration, Viva Pi ñata: Pocket Paradise. Its appearance, visit, resident and romance requirements are identical to that of the Flutterscotch in the original Viva Piñata on Xbox 360. However, its color variations are drastically reduced in the handheld version, as shown in the table below: Flutterscotch ColorType of Flower Red Poppy Green Watercress Yellow Buttercup Blue Bluebell

Okay - Are we in agreement that WITHOUT the anti-abortionists, there is no "Republican Party"?
I don't believe abortion is primarily a religious issue.
Its a personal issue that the government has no business being involved in. IMO life begins at birth, and until then its a fetus. Others believe life begins at conception, and some extremists like the loser in the election seem to believe it begins 2 weeks before conception.
If in fact God thinks its wrong or immoral, then its a issue between the woman and God. Nobody else should be involved.
But it's not a personal issue. If life does in fact begin at conception, abortion is murder. There is no two ways about it. It wasn't to long ago that many believed that blacks were subhuman, some still do. Does that mean that the killing of an African American is a personal issue? I didn't think so. Abortion isn't either. If a fetus is just a fetus, then no big deal. If it's not, then an abortion is an execution.
You could make the same thing about anything we consider a crime. There are very few laws that don't have a moral basis.
Personally, I'm pro life to an extent, not because I think life begins at conception; I don't, but because no matter how you look at it, it's denying an eventual person the opportunity to live. Up to a point, they don't exist yet as a person as far as I'm concerned. I don't know when exactly that point is, but either way, it's a choice to allow them to exist or not.
That said, I'm pro choice because I think it should be a personal decision that I don't think the government should make for anyone. Plus I'm a dude and consider it a woman's choice. If the vast majority of women ever come out in droves asking for it to be made illegal, then maybe I'll switch sides.
All fine and dandy. I am not going to get into "when life begins". BUT.
Why do I have to pay for your abortions? THAT is the double standard. You don't want religious people to tell you what to do with your body but why do those religious people have to pay for your abortions?
Oh, and BTW. "Women's health issues" and "contraception" = "abortion". Every time you hear a Dem talk about women's health they are talking about abortion. Don't get it twisted. Lets call it what it is and not hide behind semantics.
Also, lets take the 20,000 "rape pregnancies" and other extreme cases out of the equation. Do you guys think it is good for society to make getting an abortion easier? What message does it send?
BTW, technically I am "pro-life" but I do not want to overturn Roe v Wade. It has been decided and is done as far as I am concerned. I just think the rate of abortions says something about our society.

I can see that you guys are heading over the cliff, as anyone does.
Someone pointed out to me that "Nobody is ever WRONG on this issue". Resolution, at the level of the Nation, seems impossible.
Check this: the polls showed that many people voted Dem because of the hardline anti abortion stance.
Then they cut to the hard-core Anti Abortionists, shown chiding the Republicans that they should have campaigned HARDER and MORE STUBBORNLY on Pro life issues, and since they DID NOT, that's why they lost to Dems.
Are we going to allow this to take down our two party system?
well...are you religious? Do you believe that men and women of skill and capability, with maybe a 5-12 year service window, should be bounced from office because of this issue?
To try to gather these votes, the (R) are treading a fine line that may have shifted. The Moral Majority seems to be having trouble defining morality for 2012.
I am pro life personally but am not anti abortion. The state should stay out of the matter. It's settled law anyway and will never be overturned.
You want an abortion? Get an abortion. But don't expect someone else to pay for it. Pay yourself or get a "pro bono" doctor or clinic to handle it without taxpayer or health plan funds. (Rape or incest exclusion). The same applies to birth control. Your decision, you pay. Same with drugs like Viagra. Same with elective surgery (nose job, boob job).
Weight reduction - run 20 minutes everyday. And a myriad of other personal "medical" issues.
Personal responsibility and accountability.
Thank you.
It seems that the Republicans are acting as mere shills for the group that wants law overturned, and that it's okay for the AA to slow down civic process, preventing it from operating at it highest and best order.
I don't see the defiance slowing, but growing.
I am an "economic" Republican. That means pragmatic and willing for SOME compromise. Certain things the government needs to help with financially, many not. THe abuses and overkill are astounding and too numerous to list.
I fully endorse some chanages in taxation. We already have a progressive system which is abused. Some need to pay "modestly" more. If the change is severe, jobs will be lost. I also think everyone should pay something - even a very modest amount - skin in the game.
I beleive there needs to be a path to immigration. But we can not have rampant overrunning of the borders without any control. That IS a crime. And criminals from elsewhere should never be allowed to become citizens or even stay here.
Frankly, neither side is exercising common sense. And neither side is moderate, middle of the road which is exactly what is needed.
If so, than in-vitro clinics murder just like abortion clinics.
There is no method to dispose of the excess embryos that is morally acceptable to everyone. Occasionally, an infertile couple will need to go back for a second try at achieving a pregnancy. This happens when the first procedure did not produce a pregnancy, or when the couple wants to have an additional child. One or more additional embryos are then removed from storage, thawed out, and implanted. But even when that happens, perhaps 16 of the couple's embryos will still remain frozen. These surplus embryos will almost inevitably be destroyed:
- Perhaps 50% do not survive the freezing or thawing process.
- Others will die during storage.
- Equipment malfunction, perhaps after decades of storage, might destroy hundreds of embryos.
- Some parents ask that the surplus embryos be destroyed in order to save the cost of maintaining them in storage.
- Some clinics simply dispose of surplus embryos without freezing them.
Nice; I am hopeful that those involved with this election will continue to press the issue of moderate ~ middle of the road politicking; the budget issue looks like it may be resolved in some fashion now...good or bad, I'm pointing at evidence maybe the populace is "willing" them there.
So, thus far post election, the key to a Republican return is:
-End all efforts at immigration enforcement. Promote and support illegal immigration and call it "immigration" until all immigration restrictions can be repealed and called "reform".
-Pander, in every way possible, to the African American Community, apparently by ending any effort to curb social welfare, and by cutting all ties with the "Religious right".
-End all efforts to oppose abortion. Period. Agree to pay for any and all abortions, contraceptives and fully fund planned parenthood, even if Obamacare already covers everything Planned Parenthood does via other providers.
-Never, ever, put up for office a wealthy man. Or a white man. Middle-class or lower, women or "peope of color" only.
-Cut the Millitary by 75% minimum. Spend every penny cut on social programs and "social justice" programs to set right the discrepancy between white men, and women and people of color in all aspects of society.
So, there we have it, the winning (R) ticket for 2016.
Given some of your own ramblings of late, I think I'd chill with comment like that WCO if I were you.
My post is 100% on-topic, given that one major key you're clearly pushing is that (R) needs to cut loose it's Religious base, something we both know isn't going to happen, and is a core difference (in real policy terms) between (R) and (D).
Your thread is simply another example of smug patronization suggesting that (R) wins by becoming (D-light). It's a consistent theme here now, in thread after thread. Moderate by kicking out each group that supports one pillar of (R) policy.
I don't even like Religion, as my posting record clearly shows, and even I can see this is a laughbale idea for (R) to follow. As you say, without the Anti-abortionists, i.e. the Christian Vote, there is no (R). So why would you expect (R) to dump them?
Our country was founded on compromise. NONE of the founders got what they wanted. EXCEPT A NEW COUNTRY.
We have no place for bozos like Grover Norquist. Or Nancy Pelosi or Jesse Jackson Jr. or Sarah Palin. All fringe players.
Everybody has to give a little and that means in all areas. Spending AND revenue.

The same thing can be said about the floor fans I use to move the heat to other parts of the house. This year I am going to pay more attention to when I have the stove open and try to reduce that. I am also going to wait 5 mins or 10 mins after I shake the grates and reload the stove before I have the ash pan emptied. I will also make sure the fans are off before openingthe stove. I also plan to construct a filter for my intake opening on the stove's fan. I am going to use the same metal filtering material that my kitchen stove's exhaust fan uses. I'm not sure how I will fasten it on yet. I'm open for suggestions. I can't think of anything else I can do to reduce the amount of flyash in the air but I'm always open for suggestions. I guess I could probably dust more often but why start something new at this point in my live. Lisa
i let the ash cool down before i would remove the pan from the stove.if you remove the ashes right after shaking they are gonna go all over! 2nd shut down the blower on the stove and the rest of the fans that you have running.then remove the ash pan carefully and take outside to dump.
this is my first year with an air tight coal stove,but this seems to be working for me so far. hope this helps a little.

SISTAR Unearths Funny Mistakes They Made Whilst Finding out Choreography
SISTAR Unearths Funny Mistakes They Made WhilstStudying Choreographynotclaira June 25, 2016 0 In a contemporary interview, SISTAR published some funny incidents that came about while getting ready for their comeback song, "I Like That."
"The cloth that we use in the choreography messed us up a lot," Bora shared. "There were times when we couldn't get a just right grip on it and tripped over it. If we ever unencumber a making movie later, there it will most likely bea huge number of funny scenes."
Dasom added, "At the finish there's a scene where we rip off the skirts and throw them away yet Soyou by chance threw it on best of her head by way of mistake. Everybodyconcept she was once a ghost."
"I had no concept what changed into wrong but everybodybegan laughing," Soyou said.

The old west had a lot more than just cowboys. There were also traders… pelts, jewelry, and buffalo come to mind. Our buffalo is wood… present in large quantities where the ¨lazy¨ Indians have failed to exploit it to date.
A grown man cries in front of a small audience, covering his face in unnecessary shame. His name is Diogracias (literally, GaveThanks). The audience is composed of pastors and church leaders from several Wounaan communities along with Ricardo Esquivia, a conflict resolution specialist and lawyer from Colombia. Diogracias is trying to recount a recent visit to his family´s communal lands, last year virgin forest, this year pillaged and burned by Latinos to extract the precious rosewood, legally prohibited to harvest but easy enough to get out of the country with a bribe. Big money. Black market.
These people talk of hopelessness now with good reason. They began with their local mayor trying to solve the problem peacefully when it started this summer. Two months later, no solution, tensions are high, they´ve climbed the political ladder and found corruption in the highest ranks, promises from national ministers, helicopter flyovers, and still… the destruction continues. Apparently, the loggers now have legal documents to take out wood that is illegal on land that belongs to someone else.
The loggers have money. One of them was shot. Now their chainsaws are accompanied with high-powered arms. They have entered town and threatened the people. The people are afraid to go out of town and harvest their food… and now, they´re hungry, scared, and angry.
If it were not for the guidance of some church elders, there would already have been more bloodshed. The communities, Río Hondo and Río Platanares, have set an ultimatum for March 15th. Please pray for this situation.

Saturday I made plans with Sarah of Live the Life You Dream About to have brunch and visit the Museum of Art and Design. I also wanted to visit the Living Room by Tatzu Nishi but unfortunately we didn't realize tickets had to be purchased in advance. We ate at one of our favorite places in Midtown West, Riposo. Did you know I got engaged there?! (more on that later) As we were walking to MAD we ran into a CWonder representative, handing out fortune cookies and gift cards to celebrate the store's grand opening in the Time Warner Building. We were instructed to go to the store to collect our winnings, and of course the two of us ran right over! We never made it to the museum, we had way too much fun at CWonder.
Sarah super lucky on Saturday. Not only did she get a red fortune cookie, worth $150 in store credit, she also won a stuffed animal in a vending grab game! I had a blue fortune cookie, which entitled me to a free pair of bling earrings. The grand opening was phenomenal! There was so much to do in the store, we were overwhelmed with excitement. We stayed for over an hour, trying to pick out the perfect $150 item for Sarah. It was tough, there was so much to choose from. We narrowed it down to a necklace and a handbag. The handbag won.
I've been to the Soho location several times, so I had an idea of what to expect in terms of store design. I was excited to see 2 large striped zebras in the middle of the store. The attention to detail was amazing.
There was a cluster of lights made of bird cages, and another cluster made of tea cups. The bright white walls with brightly colored accents made me euphoric. The shiny, sparkly CWonder symbols draw the eye to many different areas of the store. It was hard for me to stay focus, there was so much to see!
The entire staff was so friendly, dancing to music that was being spun by a live DJ, handing out candy to get us all on a sugar high, handing out tokens to play the vending grab game. There was a caricature artist and a photo booth. Obviously Sarah and I took several pictures at the photo booth. CWonder, you've done it again! The store looks fabulous, your product is gorgeous, and your branding is superb. Once again, very impressed!

Among the pearls of wisdom conveyed in Ecclesiastes is that everything has its time.
''A time to be born ... a time to die, a time to plant ... a time to uproot, a time for war ... a time for peace."
The founders of the United States drew up a Constitution to serve as an operating manual, in its checks and balances, for peaceful, deliberative government. They understood human nature and set up a system in which competing interests would have to give in. Compromise, they understood, is a necessary lubricant for the wheels of government "of the people, by the people, and for the people" to turn and allow us to move forward.
But compromise is meant for those competing interests -- not for the core principles of the country that the Constitution exists to protect and secure. When the principles of our free nation under God are under siege, it is a time for confrontation, not compromise.
The other day, I watched a short video of Rafael Cruz's presentation at a July event by FreedomWorks, a Washington, D.C.-based political action committee that usually supports tea party causes. Cruz is the father of the junior Republican senator from Texas, Ted Cruz, who is now in the spotlight.
Rafael Cruz is a self-made businessman, an immigrant from Casto's Cuba, and a born-again evangelical Christian pastor.
Most of the time when someone cites the Declaration of Independence, they mention its famous opening sentences. But Rafael Cruz, in this brilliant summation of what America is about, quoted the signers' closing words: "... with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor."
Take a walk around Washington any evening. The fancy restaurants are filled with lobbyists and legislators.
Try to find anyone who would pledge his or her life and fortune for anything.
The American government is no longer about doing the business of the people while preserving and protecting the principles of a free nation. The principles of freedom have been drowned out by the power elite -- whether politicians, big business lobbyists or big media -- who use their influence to feather their own beds.
A Jeremiah-like Ted Cruz, ringing the alarm that things are not OK, is an annoyance to the comfortable establishment. As the class of "haves" protects its interests, it assures a dismal future for our young and for our poor. Its members play while the ship sinks.
There is no more powerful predictor of economic growth and prosperity than a nation's economic freedom.
The just-published "2013 Economic Freedom of the World Report" shows that the United States has dropped from being the world's second-most economically free in 2000 to number 17 in this year's report. The report comes from the Fraser Institute, a Canadian public-policy think tank.
Our economic arteries are clogged because of excessive government, which is dragging us down and ruining everything that made America great.
The Affordable Care Act is just the latest huge incursion into the freedom of American citizens in a long process of deterioration.
Every year, the trustees of Social Security and Medicare provide a report showing the dismal financial state of these huge entitlement programs. And every year, the political class in Washington ignores it, not having the courage to fight for real change, while things continue to worsen.
Now big business, unions and Congress are getting themselves exempted out of Obamacare, ready to leave the rest of country to be shepherded into socialized medicine.
But Sen. Cruz, like his brave father Rafael, is putting his life, his fortune and his sacred honor on the line to save our beleaguered country.
5 comments on this storyWhen Abraham Lincoln took office, he still believed that slavery could be purged from America through deliberation. But soon it became clear that only war would do it.
America must stand by Cruz and other brave tea party Republicans who understand the message of Ecclesiastes: that there is a time for everything, and that today is the time for confrontation.

Mike has been an attorney with Ryley Carlock & Applewhite since graduating from law school in 1983 and was elected a shareholder in 1989. He has served as Chairman of the firm's Executive Committe and as head of its Labor and Employment practice group.
He exclusively represents management in civil rights and employment-related litigation at both the trial and appellate levels, in the arbitration of collective bargaining agreement disputes, and in administrative proceedings involving the defense of statutory discrimination and retaliation claims, unfair labor practice charges, and wage and hour claims. He also assists employers in handbook and policy drafting, and with strike contingency and other planning.
Significant cases in which Mike has been involved include: (1) Halloum v. Intel Corp., 24 Individ. Empl. Rts. Cas. (BNA) 50 (2006), aff'd, 307 F. App'x 106 (9th Cir. 2009), in which he successfully defended the employer at trial and on appeal in one of the first cases ever tried under the anti-retaliation provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; (2) Valdiviezo v. Phelps Dodge Hidalgo Smelter, 995 F. Supp. 1060 (D. Ariz. 1997), the first reported decision in which an Arizona court compelled an employee to arbitrate a statutory employment discrimination claim; (3) Moses v. Phelps Dodge Corp., 826 F. Supp. 1234 (D. Ariz. 1993), in which a federal court held that the statutory presumption against an award of attorneys' fees to prevailing employers in civil rights actions does not apply in cases involving the alleged breach of an employment contract; (4) Burris v. City of Phoenix, 179 Ariz. 35, 875 P.2d 1340 (App. 1993), in which the Arizona Court of Appeals refused to recognize a common law tort claim for wrongful failure to hire in violation of public policy; (5) Buffington v. Phelps Dodge Mining Co., 800 F. Supp. 951 (D.N.M. 1992), a case of first impression in which a federal court held that prejudgment interest cannot be recovered in cases arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act; and (6) Espinoza v. Fry's Food Stores, Inc., 806 F. Supp. 855 (D. Ariz. 1990), the first reported decision holding that compensatory damages are not recoverable in an employment discrimination action arising under the Arizona Civil Rights Act.
In addition to the foregoing, Mike filed an amicus brief in the landmark Arizona Supreme Court case Demasse v. ITT Corp., 194 Ariz. 500, 984 P.2d 1138 (1999), where he argued that employers should be entitled to condition employment offers on their employees' agreement to arbitrate any subsequent breach of contract claims against the employer. Although the decision in Demasse is otherwise generally considered to have been detrimental to employers, the Court specifically distinguished its ruling from a federal court decision in another case in which Mike represented the employer, Moses v. Phelps Dodge Corp., 818 F. Supp. 1287 (D. Ariz. 1993), which held that an employee was precluded from filing suit against her employer as the result of her failure to comply with the terms of a grievance and arbitration procedure contained in an employee handbook.
Mike also coauthored an amicus brief submitted in support of the employer's position in the Colorado Supreme Court's landmark medical marijuana case, Coats v. Dish Network, 350 P.3d 849 (Colo. 2015), which upheld the employer's right to terminate an employee who tested positive for marijuana even though the employee had ingested the drug for medicinal purposes during nonworking hours in accordance with Colorado law.
Mike received both his bachelor's degree and law degree with high distinction from the University of Iowa. During law school, he was elected to the Order of the Coif and received American Jurisprudence Awards for the top performance in his class in Torts, Evidence, Civil Procedure and Advanced Criminal Procedure. As an undergraduate majoring in accounting, he was elected to both the Beta Alpha Psi and Beta Gamma Sigma honor societies.
He and his wife Jeanine, who is also an attorney, have three children and one grandchild. They are all enthusiastic Arizona Diamondbacks fans and Mike was once a stellar Little League coach.
Mike has served as an editor and contributing author of the Arizona Employment Law Handbook (2d ed. 2004), which is the only comprehensive treatise addressing Arizona employment law, and of annual and cumulative supplements to Schlei & Grossman, Employment Discrimination Law (2d ed. 1983), which has been referred to as the "bible" of federal employment discrimination law. He is also a contributing author of another highly regarded employment law text published by the National Employment Law Institute, Employment-At-Will: A 1989 State-By-State Survey.
Mike has authored approximately 50 law review articles addressing labor, employment and litigation-related topics, including the first article ever published in the Phoenix Law Review. His articles have been cited as pertinent authority by academics and other lawyers, as well as by the Arizona Supreme Court, the Arizona Court of Appeals, the Superior Court of Arizona, by other federal and state trial and appellate courts in Alabama, California, Florida, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin, and Puerto Rico, and by employment-related administrative agencies such as the Wisconsin Employment Relations Commission.
Throughout its existence, Mike served as an editor of the Arizona Labor Letter, a monthly publication designed to keep Arizona employers apprised of legal developments in the field.
Some of Mike's recent publications include:
Appointed by the Governor, Mike served on the Arizona Agricultural Employment Relations Board, a state agency charged with primary responsibility for enforcing the Arizona Agricultural Employment Relations Act.

All of the activities of the scientific method are characterized by a scientific attitude, which stresses rational impartiality. Measurement plays an important role, and when possible the scientist attempts to test his theories by carefully designed and controlled experiments that will yield quantitative rather than qualitative results. Theory and experiment work together in science, with experiments leading to new theories that in turn suggest further experiments. Although these methods and attitudes are generally shared by scientists, they do not provide a guaranteed means of scientific discovery; other factors, such as intuition, experience, good judgment, and sometimes luck, also contribute to new developments in science.

Nomqhele comes from Payi in Ntepe area. She is a form three student who is looking after her grandmother (Cristina Nyathi, 78years old). Nomqhele's father died in 1995 when Nomqhele was still being breastfed by her mother, who has since passed away, as well.
This small family received three goats from AFCA in late 2010. Since then, two goats have given birth and the family has seen an addition of four kids to their flock! The goat milk is used in their tea and to drink with dinner, which has improved their health and has filled their bellies. Manure is used in their vegetable plots, allowing Nomquele and her grandmother to eat better meals, complete with vegetables they grow themselves. Some of these veggies include tomatoes, pumpkins, peanuts, beans, peas, onions, and kale.
Besides their improved health, Nomqhele says her status in the community has improved as she is now regarded as the livestock owner by other members of the community. This is MASSIVE in a culture dominated by men and Nomqhele's future looks promising as she continues her training in husbandry (also part of what AFCA does) and basic veterinary skills.
Since Nomquele and her grandmother are not allowed to slaughter the goats until three years since their gift has passed, we supplement their diet by providing ATMIT - an oat based porridge. Together with ATMIT, the milk and the vegetables, Nomquele is doing well. Thank you for your part in this. Thank you for caring for children like Nomquele and for giving her a better life now and a chance of a future.

Light (based) guarding, serious safety
A press brake safeguarding strategy must be tailored for the application
Companies should consider brake safeguarding in two phases. First, they need to consider all jobs that will be run on the machine; next, they can select a guarding system that will work with all of them.
Press brakes, ubiquitous in metal fabrication, are unique in that their whole operation can change from machine cycle to machine cycle. The machine tool is a bit of a chameleon in that operators can change its setup and function according to the job at hand. This in turn affects safeguarding.
The five basic types of light-based guarding for press brakes are close-proximity guarding; basic light curtains; light curtains with muting; light curtains with beam blanking; and programmable light curtains.
Press brake guarding has to be selected for the machine based on its total usage (see Figure 1). Guarding for one job may not work for another one. Operators shouldn't have to change guarding every time they change a job, of course. That's why companies should consider brake safeguarding in two phases. First, they need to consider all jobs that will be run on the machine; next, they can select a guarding system that will work with all of them.
Laser-based Proximity Guarding
Laser-based proximity guards are the newest and most complex type, having been in common use for only about 10 years. They mount directly on either side of the ram; emit a laser beam just below the punch tip; and monitor the machine's performance, including its stopping distance and ram travel speed (see Figure 2). If an operator crosses the beam while a pinch-point hazard exists, the machine stops. This type of guarding can be used only on hydraulic machines. It can't be used on mechanical machines because, among other reasons, mechanical brakes lack adequate speed control and stopping performance.
Such guarding is best used for V-type bending of sheet metal. It is not appropriate when the needed guarding is larger than the area protected by the laser. For instance, it cannot be used for setups with multiple tooling sets of different sizes. Laser-based proximity guarding works best when the operator must hold a very small workpiece close to the machine, within a couple of inches of the hazard point.
Most laser-based guarding systems monitor press performance, too, so in the appropriate application they are considered not only the safest type of guarding, but also the most productive. The operator can get in close to the work, and the guarding system alerts him when there is a problem anywhere in the machine that could result in hazardous motion. Such systems also are low-maintenance, can reduce labor costs, and may drive down overall cost of ownership.
But, again, a laser-based system won't work on every press brake. Certain machine performance requirements sometimes make interfacing laser-based guarding difficult because of the kind of control such systems require.
Basic Light Curtains
Basic light curtains may be the most popular form of press brake safeguarding. An alternative to mechanical barriers and other traditional machine guarding, these optoelectronic devices safeguard personnel in the vicinity of potentially hazardous motion.
When working with basic light curtains, the operator must be outside the protected area through the entire stroke of the press brake ram, and nothing should obstruct the light curtain beams during that stroke. When gang punching or forming small parts, the operator can place workpieces against the backgauge, using a magnet or die fixture if necessary to hold the part in place, and then move his hands away before engaging the ram. The safety distance between the light curtain and the machine depends on the application, the type of light curtain, and the machine's stopping performance.
Basic light curtains can be used on hydraulic, mechanical, and hydromechanical press brakes. Unlike more advanced light curtains, they also do not allow any obstruction during the machine cycle.
Light Curtains With Muting
Light curtains with muting, or beam blanking, resemble basic light curtains but, as their name implies, mute when the punch is close enough to the die, within 0.25 in., so the hazard is removed. Once the tools are 0.25 in. apart, an operator cannot get a finger in between, so no hazard exists. Safety standards allow for the light curtain to be muted or turned off for the remainder of the cycle, then turned back on before the following cycle.
Another key function of the muting light curtain is the "stop at mute" feature. Using this, an operator can cycle the machine down to stop when the tools are 0.25 in. apart. At that point, he can insert the workpiece into the machine and then reactivate the process to complete the part. This is useful when the operator must hold the workpiece throughout the machine cycle. He can cycle the ram down to the mute point, insert the part, and hold it while it is being formed.
Beam blanking is particularly useful when obstructing the light curtain is simply unavoidable during bending—say, when a long flange swings up and down or when a support arm, specific tool, or other machine elements must break the light curtain beam to complete the operation.
Beam muting works a bit like a key inside a door lock. A key can open the door only if it moves a certain number of the lock's internal shafts a certain distance. Similarly, a press brake ram with a beam-blanking light curtain can cycle completely only if certain beams (or at least one or more of a group of specified beams) are obstructed at certain times, per the part program. If the part obstructs the wrong pattern of beams at the wrong times, the safeguarding "key" does not fit the lock, and the safety system generates a stop signal.
Two principal types of blanking are fixed and floating. In fixed beam blanking, the system learns from the bending program which beams are obstructed, and operation is maintained if only these beams are obstructed and all other beams are clear. In floating beam blanking, an obstruction can move, or "float," within the detection zone without generating a stop signal, provided the obstruction does not block more than a specified number of beams. These beams can be directly next to each other, but they don't have to be.
Such beam blanking can be used not only to ensure safety, but also to prevent nuisance tripping. Say a portion of the part or other obstruction "jiggles" into and out of a beam; strategic use of both floating and fixed beam blanking can prevent that obstruction from making the curtain flicker between a run and a stop state.
When light curtain beams are muted, operators should not reach through or around the work area, exposing themselves to a hazardous part of the machine. The beams blocked by the obstruction create a gap in light curtain coverage that must be dealt with to maintain safety. The solution depends on the application, but it can include increasing the safety distance between the light curtain and the machine and using secondary guards such as physical barriers (see Figure 3).
Programmable Light Curtains
Programmable light curtains are useful if the workpiece will unavoidably obstruct the light curtain or if it blocks a different number of beams from cycle to cycle. These safeguards are similar to beam-blanking curtains but allow the operator to change the beam-blanking pattern between cycles, accommodating different size workpiece features. For instance, workpiece flanges may obstruct four beams during one cycle, then only two beams the following cycle.
Programmable light curtains allow the operator to account for these variations. However, this also may create a window in the protected field. Like with other safeguards, these windows must be dealt with by using secondary guarding or having a greater safety distance between the light curtain and the machine.
Field Observations
Press brake safeguarding must be installed so that failure of any circuit on the machine, including the machine control, will not result in unsafe operation. Many self-installed guarding systems are set up so that a failure in the machine control can result in the light curtain's or other safety device's inability to stop the machine.
Someone familiar with safety circuits and the integration of safety equipment must evaluate the machine control and determine the proper points for interfacing the guarding. Such safeguarding must allow controlled, reliable operation and eliminate the possibility that the machine will cycle in an unsafe condition.
That person must ensure that all press brake access points, such as the ends of the ram, are protected. Many install a light curtain across the front of the machine but don't guard the ends. This means that another person, other than the operator, simply can walk around to the end of the machine and gain access behind the light curtain.
Also, shops should not overlook areas behind the press brake (see Figure 4). Some kind of guard, such as a gate or fence, should be set up across the back of the machine. This will prevent someone from getting into the rear of the machine and being caught by a quickly moving backgauge, or accessing the ram from the rear.
Safe Distance a Last Resort
OSHA's machinery and machine guarding regulations (29 CFR 1910 Subpart O) require one or more guarding methods to protect employees (operating, minor servicing, and others nearby) from exposure to hazardous machine energy during the operation of press brakes. The American National Standards Institute standard ANSI B11.3-1982 covers safeguarding of power presses, including press brakes.
The regulations state that employers must provide appropriate machine safeguarding. In most cases, the regulations refer to this as some kind of physical barrier or other guarding device. The regulations do state, however, that safeguarding may be provided by maintaining a "safe distance"—but only if the operation can't be guarded by physical barriers or other devices.
Even if that operation can't be guarded any other way, this safe-distance method is permissible only for a one-time-only fabrication of made-to-order, custom-made piece parts. The employer must conduct regular training programs about maintaining a safe working distance, and also must have a good history of maintaining a safe workplace using this safe-distance method.
This safe-distance rule is a compromise to be used only when no other safeguard will work, and this doesn't happen often in the modern fabrication shop. Today, with more safeguarding options than ever, fabrication shops can guard almost every application on a modern press brake effectively and reliably.

Bruno Podalydes returns to his hometown of Versailles and the present for the star-studded letdown "Park Benches."
After two successful period mysteries, helmer Bruno Podalydes ("The Mystery of the Yellow Room") returns to his hometown of Versailles and the present for the star-studded letdown "Park Benches." The film's very loosely connected glimpses of a few dozen people in an office, a local park and a home-improvement store might be useful as a primer on French movie stars working today, but is only sporadically interesting for what actually occurs onscreen. Locally, the pic did barely OK biz given its marquee value; some fests will no doubt be drawn to the potential red-carpet photo ops.
Aside from a hilarious filth-laden company presentation by Mr. Borelly (Pierre Arditi) and a funny sequence involving the wall cabinet of a worried home-improvement store customer (Catherine Deneuve), there are long stretches in which famous French faces pop up for several minutes before disappearing off the radar. Apparent theme of loneliness in the big city hardly crystallizes, and the final resolution meant to tie things together is weak. Tech credits are just OK. Title literally translates as "Public Benches (Versailles — Right Bank)," which explicitly ties the film to Podalydes' debut, "Versailles — Left Bank."Park Benches

The following letter was written by Philippa Cohen (Miss) of Cricklewood and appeared in the Willesden Chronicle on 4th November, 1949….
Dear Sir,
Oh dear ! What can the matter be ? Every time QPR strike a bad patch the management turn on the supporters. We can't shout anything right. After a number of missed penalties, we yell who we think should take the spot kick. The following week a reprimand appears in the programmes – it's all our fault – if we'd kept quiet 'Äì who knows ? We might have even scored. When we keep quiet we don't show our enthusiasm 'Äì if they'd only give us a song sheet with every programme, then we'd say what they wanted us to say, 'cause we'd hate to offend the management !
Joking apart, I've been to Leeds, Coventry and Sheffield this year and there's a very gallant band of supporters worthy of mention (I'm not one of them). On most away matches they rise in the early hours to see their favourites play away. The rattles, bells and shouts that this mob produce is enough to encourage any team to victory, so enough of this criticism of the supporters.
Yours Faithfully,
Philippa Cohen (Miss)

lovely story steve
Brilliant nostalgia Steve.
Rattles Bells Rosettes etc..long before the days of the replica shirt eh?
Anyone recognise Daphney in there?
That is a great story and also what a hell of a picture.
That is what I call real fans.
Great find Steve
How wonderful to read/see that… love the bus!
Well done young Russell!
Yes, good stuff Steve! The match at Hull ended as a 1-1 draw. My Dad followed the Rs away regularly from 1945 but by 1950 he'd met my mum and I think Cardiff was his only trip outside London that season.
Andy – the original photo is from the 1950/1 handbook and I have looked at the original but there's no sign of Daphnie. Howvever there are a lot of people close to the bus whose faces you cannot see, so she may well have been there.
Great stuff Steve. Good to see you at Wigan mate

Actor Abhishek Bachchan feels superstar Shah Khan Khan should make a movie on legendary hockey player Dhyan Chand and also essay his role on-screen as he looks like him.
The late Indian hockey player is remembered for his extraordinary goal-scoring feats, in addition to earning three Olympic gold medals during an era where India was the most dominant team in the game.
Known as "The Wizard" for his superb ball control, Chand played his final international match in 1948.
"A sportsman whose life will be fantastic on screen is Major Dhyan Chand. It will be an unbelievable story. These are the stories that need to be told. I told Shah Rukh Khan (during the shoot of 'Happy New Year') to make a film on it and play the protagonist, because he looks a lot like him.
"If you see his photo…just need to change Shah Rukh's hair a bit. Shah Rukh was a hockey player. I think he will be fantastic, said Abhishek on the sidelines of an event here.
Two-three years back, apparently, multiple biopics on Chand were in the pipeline and Shah Rukh was one of the choices to play the sporting hero on big screen.
Earlier, SRK had reportedly confirmed that he was approached for a movie based on the legendary sportsman.
Hockey, as a sport, isn't new to SRK. He has been an athlete throughout his school and college life and has played the game. Not many may know that SRK, during his school days captained the football and hockey teams besides playing cricket at the zonal and national levels.
Abhishek, who owns a Kabaddi team Jaipur Pink Panthers, plans to make a film based on it in future.
"I would love to do it in the future but not right now. The history of Kabaddi is fantastic. It has his origin in Mahabharat..it is over 3,000 years old. So you can get a lot of exciting content but let it build, then we will think of making it. If you do it (make the film) right now and if it doesn't work then it becomes disappointing. So let Kabaddi get that recognition and then I would love to do it (make a film on it)," Abhishek said.
Abhishek is happy that filmmakers are showing Kabaddi in films.
"A dear friend of mine, Arjun Kapoor is doing a film called 'Tevar' which is a remake of a Telugu film and it has got lot of Kabaddi in it.
"Kabaddi has been around in films like in one of my dad's movie 'Ganga Ki Saugandh', Chintu uncle (Rishi Kapoor) in Naseeb'.. Even I had a scene in 'Yuva'. So it is there in films," he said.

At least we don't have to wait until March for new episodes. The best thing about this show is Emily and Victoria. Especially interacting together. We've been denied that for much of this season, so I'm looking forward to them FINALLY coming together for whatever purpose will further their respective agendas.
I am looking forward to that, as I think they have a great dynamic. This episode seemed much better with the pacing and whatnot. I wasn't fully satisfied, but I was reminded of what I like about the show. Did I miss something with Ashley? 1. Victoria gets the video of Ashley and Conrad. 2. Victoria confronts Ashley. 3. Ashley shows up at the board member's hotel room. 4. Ashley gets caught by Daniel after Aiden tips him off. I know that she (Ashley) had wanted the board member to vote in favor of Daniel. But why would she show up to boink another guy when she just got caught boinking her boyfriend's dad? That just seemed a bit off for me. So I thought maybe I missed something.
Victoria blackmailed her into doing it. Marco is quite the weasel! Wondering what Nolan has up his sleeve. Padma, just might be okay. Jack and Deklan story line is getting weaker. Still don't trust Aiden.
Bah, the Gullible Brothers. And the story is unnecessarily complicated now - the lame device of the phone book, using Emily's old red marker no less - and since they didn't kill the guy, was it supposed to be a warning? Then why is the name crossed out, like he's dead? And why leave him alive, when he can now point the finger directly at them? I don't even care to know the answers, and only stop myself from FFing in case there's some tidbit that matters to the rest of the story. And here's something - remember how last season we all spent time speculating on who the body on the beach was, and who the killer was? Note that since this season's opener, there's been almost zero discussion on the identity of the body on the boat. Why? Because it's on the boat, and I think we're all hoping it's Jack, because finally there would be some relevance to Emily's story. Either that or it's one of the Ryan brothers, which will be an epically anti-climax. For the rest - I'd love some clarity on Nolan's story. It's really feeling piecemeal to me. Emily's and Victoria's stories have been thought through - motivations, reactions, where it's all going. So far, Nolan's story just seems like something they threw together because he was last season's breakout character. We still don't know Padma's motivations or how she knew about David Clarke, and apparently Nolan doesn't care. At least he seems to have a plan, but after the massive error of revealing where the money went to Marco - who he thought was super loyal - he's making the same error in letting Padma get too close when he knows she is NOT trustworthy. Sigh. I do like that someone has identified the gap in that Amanda has no money, yet was given half a billion dollars six years ago. You'd think Nolan would alert Emily on that one right away as it's a major threat to her identity and her plans. re Ashley - I do like that we got a bit of backstory on her this season that helped set up her actions now. Agree totally with Matreyshka's assessment. re Daniel - I'm guessing that his wimpy character last season was criticized enough that they've given him a complete makeover this season. I'd be enjoying it, if I didn't still think of him as the guy from last season. re Conrad - emerging this season as the best written character, performed by a great actor. Love him and Victoria's love/hate relationship, and hope they keep them working together as they are way more fun together than apart. Still love Victoria and Emily - and hope as do others that they come to some sort of alliance, as it's been clear from the beginning that they are more alike than either realizes. At least half of every show should be devoted to just them - start by ditching the stupid brothers vs brothers story please.
I missed that with my DVR/Cable issues. Thank you. I just couldn't put it together in my mind what was to be gained there. I'm guessing that Victoria meant for her to seduce him/sleep with him to secure his vote for Conrad. However, the tables were turned when Daniel caught them in their fluffy white robes.
Emily and Aiden found (via their spy cameras) out that Victoria was going to use Ashley's tryst with Conrad to force her to seduce the board member (thereby securing Conrad the vote). They concocted the scheme to get Daniel there to find her with the board member.
I get why Daniel wouldn't want Aiden to be with Emily - he didn't delete her photo - but what power does he have to order him away? He's kicked him off the board, and Aiden works for Takeda, not Daniel? I don't like Aiden with Emily. I don't buy the chemistry. I do REALLY look forward to see what Nolan has up his sleeve!
I don't trust Aiden either. He ruined his own chance at revenge when he shot the russian mobster in the flashback episode, and now he's screwed over Nolan and gotten played by idiot boy Grayson. Not impressive!
I found myself wondering when Fauxmanda became the voice of reason. She's really a lot less annoying than she was last season. Hear hear! I'd totally forgotten about it. I'm guessing it's one of the Ryan brothers, but I can't quite bring myself to care, even if it's one of the Brothers Clueless. Yeah, he seems like a completely different person to me.
I'm not sure I understand Victoria at all. Both in the past with David and Kara, and in the present, I never know what she's doing because she wants to and what she's doing against her best instinct because she's afraid of what the Initiative, or Conrad, might do if she doesn't obey. The magic powers of maternity?
I think I am 2 or 3 episodes behind. Ugh, I hate getting behind. Sometimes this happens and I never watch the show again.
I am glad to see that Emily is still crossing people's faces off photographs. That was an effective storyline. I would like to see the judge's wife again. At least there is forward motion on the Porters' storyline. But the writers need to somehow tie this storyline with the larger mythology and I don't think they will able to do so. The same has to be saidf re: Aiden's sister. I don't really much care for her unless she will be somehow tied with the rest of the cast. Ashley will be back! I have a soft spot for those sad sacked characters and I really want her to triumph.
In an interview recently, the creator/head writer of the show said that this will be revealed pretty soon so there is definitely something else going on there. Loved the show tonight! I didn't realize how much I'd missed Emily's red marker until she busted it out tonight. Woot!!
Interesting. I'll give the writers the benefit of the doubt. One thing they are doing a good job of is that I buy Amanda's redemption arc and her relationship with Jack. I would like her to be happy (relatively speaking).
Worried that the judge's wife will be killed. And hope they don't just drop the character, I think she has more to offer. I like her. Also thinking that Amanda may slip. She may go after the creepy brothers who have threatened her family.
Sharpie should really buy ad time during the show. Never has a magic marker played such a significant role in a TV show It was nice to see one of the old-school take-downs. But I'm still a bit muddled on the larger mythology that unfolding. Initiative lady encouraged Danny to have Nolan hack Grayson Global just so GG hackers can route themselves into NorCorp files? I'm fuzzy on that part. Mysterious thumb drive - dun, dun, dun! I find Marco pathetic, and hope that Nolan keeps him at arms length. More Emily / Victoria plotting was fun to see. Aiden is just not interesting me. The previews indicated that he's going to get jealous of Emily and Daniel. Really? That's the tired angle they're going to play? Boo.
Maybe the initiative knows who Emily is and is leading Daniel to find out about the money. Don't trust him. And he's creepy and weak. Yeah, it seems idiotic for him to get jealous. He and Emily did the "break up" scene in the restaurant, with the plan for Daniel to want her back. Did Aiden think Emily would not wind up kissing Daniel? Doesn't make much sense.
That was my thought too. The lucrative secret? Emily. She might be willing to pay a lot to keep that from Conrad and Victoria. If the initiative knows though, they must know that she's trying to expose them? Emily and Nolan were talking at the start of the season. We know they (E and N) know that the Initiative is coming after her...maybe this is part of it? Don't trust him. And he's creepy and weak. I don't think he's really jealous. I think it's just the promo. That line we saw...is probably it. Often promos really focus on something that has nothing to do with the greater plot. Aiden isn't being straight with her either, with the whole sister thing. Loved the empowered wife hitting out at her abusive husband. That was nice.
I think Aiden will betray Emily for his sister. Again. I think he's hot and a triangle between he, Dannyboy and Emily is waaaaaaay hotter than the one with Jack as the 3rd leg. I love Victoria. She and Conrad are the reason I watch. Well, and Emily. And Nolan. All the others are just background players.
I'm a little disappointed that Nolan is getting less air time this year. I LOVE the dynamic between he and Emily. But, this year it comes across as caricature and forced. I wish they'd let the relationship between Nolan and Emily go back to the way it was.
I agree. I hope that we get a more involved storyline this round to make up for the lack of Nolan time.
I really do think that the writers and show creator have taken the criticisms of season two to heart and that the rest of this season is going to focus more on the things we all want to see and get the convoluted stories straightened out. They took a big step towards that in last night's episode and I'm hopeful that this continues in the coming weeks too.
Thoroughly enjoyed that - back to basics Revenge, only with the stellar writing (especially for Nolan and Conrad) of well developed show. Much more fulfilling than Downton Abbey, which I have to say disappointed, and I'm really disappointed that I was disappointed. Next week I'm watching Revenge and recording DA. I think they are working toward making Daniel their puppet. They already got him into position, but if they just laid it out in the open, he'd still have time to run or do something stupid, like do the right thing Instead, they want him in deep so that by the time he realizes that he's working for a terrorist organization, his hands are so dirty that he can't escape. As for Aiden, if they've been tracking him long enough to have snatched his sister (from her original kidnappers I assume) for future use, then they have to know exactly who Emily really is. And if that's the case, it makes zero sense that they'd let her live, because the closer she gets to clearing her father's name, the closer she gets to taking them down. Hopefully this is not a giant plot hole, but something that will make sense later Best character right now for me is Conrad. They are writing him beautifully, and the actor is playing it with relish. His lazy swagger as he entered the restaurant in his casual clothes, greeted the bartender and totally owned it was hysterical! Ditto Nolan - every delicious line delivered so perfectly - I actually rewound a couple of times as it was so good! Also, who's styling him? He dresses so well - maybe not what your average guy would wear, but certainly what a very successful tech geek would to fit perfectly into the Hamptons world. Funny that just this weekend the NY Times ran an article about the "style crisis" in Silicon Valley (see Zuckerberg's hoodies) - they all need a Nolan makeover! Other great line was of course Victoria, having lemonade on her royal balcony as Emily commented on the view of her house, and she said "oh I never noticed." And agree with those who loved the judge's wife. You could see where that was going at the dinner table, and I think her scenes with Emily were spot on, and really said a lot about Emily's character. We've seen her be stone cold hearted, even with the few she cares about at times, but this reminded us that there are a lot of emotions in there, and the ability to have empathy. I'd love to see more of the judge's wife too - sounds like she could play a big role in clearing David Clarke. Do I even need to comment on the Gullible Brothers? I know they've tried to make Jack the hero of this saga, but he's coming off as the biggest loser in the history of nighttime soaps. Every, single, time he says "I'll take care of it" the whole thing ends in disaster. And I'm reminded that that damn boat is going to sink with someone in it, with no doubt the same gun - is it really going to be as boring as the older Mean Brother? Waste Of Air Time.
Nolan told Marco that he found someone else (Padma) - but she wasn't visible in this particular episode.
At that moment, I almost thought he was talking about Emily. Shortly after there was the scene at her beachhouse where he seemed delighted to hear they had broken up, only to look crestfallen when he realized it was a ruse.

A veteran Toledo police officer was charged with drunken driving Thursday after she was stopped about 1 a.m. on southbound I-75 near Detroit Avenue for not staying within her lane while driving, the Ohio Highway Patrol said.
Maureen Wade, 36, who was appointed to the police force in 1993, was charged with operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol and failure to drive within marked lanes, troopers at the patrol s Bowling Green post said.
Officer Wade was off duty at the time of the stop, Toledo police Chief Mike Navarre said.
Troopers said she was driving a personal vehicle and was not wearing a police uniform.
Officer Wade failed the field sobriety test and was taken to the Bowling Green post to take a Breathalyzer test, which she refused, troopers said.
Officer Wade has been placed on limited-duty status, Chief Navarre said.
She s not working the street, not driving a car, and there will be an administrative investigation in addition to the highway patrol s investigation, Chief Navarre said.
