*Spoiler Alert: Please note that this post is a recap of the entire second episode of The Vampire Diaries Season 4 and therefore contains spoilers and scene descriptions. Do not read any further if you have not yet watched "Memorial."
If anyone out there has ample stock in Kleenex, then you're in luck because you probably saw a rise in profits after tonight's dangerous yet heart-achingly sweet tearjerker of an episode on The Vampire Diaries. "Memorial" had it all — human moments, rawness, horror, and even a few super sexy scenes. We witnessed Damon's vulnerability, sensed Stefan's pain, and suffered right along with Elena. Relive all the terrifying and glorious moments of the night below:
Stefan Takes Elena Hunting: The two lovebirds wake up smiling but little do they know their cheerfulness will dissolve as the day drags on. He tells her to close her eyes and takes down the doe for her. She sips up its blood with tears in her eyes. (What's the opposite of comfort food? Because this was definitely it.)Elena releases the deer and cries a bit. Stefan whips out a hanky since Elena's face is smeared with blood in the same way Bruce's was in the scene in Matilda when Trunchbull forced him to gobble down a massive chocolate cake. Stefan pats her shoulder with a "hang in there, champ" vibe and says, "You did it. I know it's hard but you can do this." (Not helping, sir.) While all this is going on, we catch glimpses of Stefan and Damon arguing about how Elena should feed and it gets tense. Really intense. Here's a taste:
Damon: "She needs human blood, Stefan…from the VEIN."
Stefan: "Oh come on. You know what happens. You name me one vampire who didn't kill at least one person when they were new."
Damon: "You name me one who went on a bunny diet and didn't kill dozens."
Later on, they return to baby deer hunting lessons which quickly turn into a major snog fest. (Apparently, scoring fresh meat involves posing in a butt squat and then feeling your lady up.) Elena giggles like the shy little schoolgirl she is and the two scrap the hunting lesson and go at it against a tree. (Get some!) "It feels like you're touching every nerve on my body," Elena sighs as her eyes practically roll back inside her head and an imaginary Trey Songz tracks starts playing in her mind. However, Elena's upset stomach ruins the sexy moment, and she vomits up all the Bambi blood mid-hookup. Nastiness yo!
Meet Connor Jordan: The new hunter enters the scene. He pokes around Pastor Young's cabin and finds a letter in the oven addressed to April, the Pastor's daughter. How the letter didn't burn or go poof just like the poor council members did is beyond us, to be honest. Then again, an oven is sort of like a mini bomb shelter for pots, pans, and stationary so there's that to consider.
This Seat is Taken: Sheriff Forbes drops by the Mystic Grill and tries to sit next to Damon but he mutters, "Seat's taken." So she switches to the other side and plops a newspaper in front of Damon and he reads the headline aloud: "Open Gas Line Leads To Tragic Explosion at Young Farm." She blames him but he denies having any part in such atrocity. That and if he were to kill anyone, it'd be with a good old fashioned bite to the neck. Waste not, madame! At that exact moment though, Connor saunters up to the bar and asks to speak to Liz about the gas explosion…in private. Damon looks after them with a bummed expression as though Janet Howell invited everyone to join the Unicorn Club except for him.
The Return of April Young: Matt's complaining again. (As much as we adore him, he's just gotta get over the whole "Elena joined the Undead Members Society" ordeal and move on.) He basically wants to pay it forward (preferably with Kevin Spacey and Haley Joel Osment by his side) and help out Elena. Jeremy looks bored. Luckily, April bounces on up and Jeremy looks at her as though he's just seen a ghost. (Hey! You never know with this kid.) He looks very surprised…but in a good way…and he makes googly eyes at his old friend. (Frankly, we're surprised that Jer didn't lick his lips and say, "Damn, girl, you so fine. Mmm!") She chooses to ignore the expression of shock on his face tells them she's back in town since her dad died and all. (Everyone in this town is pretty much an orphan though so she definitely came to the right place.) Then things get a tad awkward as April begins rambling about her father and death so she dashes off before things get too crazy.
Poppin' Champagne: While Elena is busy begging Caroline for help via voicemail, Stefan drops in with a bottle of Krug Clos d'Ambonnay 1995 random bubbly from the year Elena was born in order to celebrate her first feed. (Unbeknownst to him, she puked it all up in the middle of the woods.) He lets her pop the champagne and then they smooch but are ultimately cockblocked deterred by Damon's incessant calling. So what's the scuttlebutt? Council's been blown up. Elena races on over to the Mystic Grill to get the scoop.
Bloodlust: Elena arrives at the Mystic Grill and, just like he did with Liz, Damon forbids her from sitting in Alaric's seat. She pesters him about the explosion but he huffs and puffs about not having done it. "Am I wearing my I Blew Up The Council T-shirt? Why does everybody keep asking me that?" he demands. Then he asks, "Anything else?" And suddenly we get the feeling Elena didn't come to chat murders and crazy pastors. She came to talk shop, specifically feeding. She reveals that can't keep any bunny/Bambi/woodland creature blood down so Damon swoops in to rescue her from her own compassion. He leads her to bathroom, locks the door, cuts his right hand and extends it out to her. Elena digs in and the feeding session turns into a sexual and passionate moment much like it did when Angel sank his teeth into Buffy's tender neck in the second to last episode of Buffy The Vampire Slayer Season 3. (Frankly, we were surprised that the mirrors didn't fog up with all the sucking and licking taking place!)
Grief Sex:Speaking of sexy times, Caroline and Tyler were enjoying some of their own and making up for lost time. However, midway through, she stops abruptly and confesses that she doesn't feel having sex while people that they've known all their lives have died. BUt Tyler is like, "It's grief sex. It's healthy!" and then peppers her up with an "I Love You" and makes her knees melt and that's that. Let the sex marathon continue!
Unwelcome Visitor: Connor comes a-knockin' to the Lockwood Manor to talk about the explosion with the Mayor and gets aggressive when she tries to cover up what she knows. Tyler hears all this and heads downstairs to investigate. Connor reaches out to shake his hand but then Ty's hand begins to to sizzle. Vervain soaked gloves — what in sweet Frodo's name is this?! Connor freaks out when he realizes Ty is a vamp and shoots wooden stakes the poor stud guy. The Mayor screams in horror at the sight of her son's spilt blood and orders him to run away and fast. Tyler crashes through the window faster than Benicio Del Toro in the Wolfman remake ever did. (The only thing missing was a billowy pantaloon shirt.) Curious Caroline hears all the commotion, arises, slips on a robe, and hurries on downstairs to investigate. (Awkward alert. We think the horrified expression on Carol Lockwood's face is the sight of Caroline's nearly bare bosom.) Luckily, Stefan comes to the rescue and helps out the two lovebirds by surgically removing the stake bullets from Tyler's rock-hard body. (I mean, who wouldn't volunteer for that gig…Just saying.) Upon close inspection (of the stakes…not Tyler's abs), Stefan spots some interesting etches on the bullets and seems very intrigued.
Don't Tell Connor The Babysitter's Dead: Elena is helping Matt set up for the council members' memorial when she spots April, the girl she used to babysit long ago, and asks her, "Are you going to survive this?" April reveals that the event organizers want her to speak and she is not ashamed to express her discomfort with the idea, "What am I supposed to say? I'm sorry my dad didn't fix the gas line?" She then goes into a lot of detail about her relationship with her mom and dad. (Sorry we couldn't keep up but we felt bad for her. Very very bad.) Elena, self-proclaimed advice columnist, consoles her, "You say what you want to say. Or you don't say anything at all. And don't worry about your dad. Everyone in this town loved him." This scene is beyond touching because we suddenly notice all these parallels between the two girls — especially with how they lost their parents at such an impressionable age. However, Elena decides to pat April's hand to reassure her but feels/smells/hears April's veins pumping with fresh blood and runs off to the bathroom where she vomits up more blood." She stares in the bathroom mirror crying at her ruined dress. Oh no! (RIP Elena's stunning ensemble. 10/18/2012 – 10/18/2012).
The Drop By Guy: Stefan has some time to kill so he pays Bonnie visit at her house to see if he can enlist her on the group's latest supernatural mission. (Geez. Homegirl is like an underpaid Hollywood assistant at this point with all the tasks and favors she's asked to complete.) Bonnie's snuggled up under a blanket on the couch looking sad and tired (and what we imagine the human version of Egor from Winnie the Pooh would look like). However, Stefan's persistent and basically states, "I know you're in there. I can hear you breathing." So Bon-Bon peels herself off the couch, trudges to the door, and opens it for him. He tries to come in to console her but the door is barricaded with a spell. So she invites him in and promptly falls into his arms and cries her sweet witch heart out. (We're not shippers of any sort but we truly enjoyed the connection between these two — their mutual respect and understanding — and hope to see their friendship strength through Season 4!) She talks out her feelings about Grams and the mean old family witches who ruined her life, and then, finally, offers to help him out with his inquiry. Thus, Stefan pulls out the mysterious stakes with the etchings and shows them to her. She doesn't know what the writing is and then they sigh because a new vampire hunter is in town at the most inconvenient time ever. What gives, universe, what gives?!
Bathroom Blues: Elena is in the bathroom trying to clean up all her projectile blood vomit while conversing with Damon on the phone. She hears a knock from the outside. It's Connor! He keeps knocking and she panics. Damon hurries on over with a new dress in tow for her and spots Connor waiting on the couch. Damon rolls his eyes, "You again. Stalking small time funerals?" Elena then opens the door and grabs the fresh set of clothes from him — but of course she feels bad for making any guy who needs to pee wait so she pops her head out, smiles, and apologizes, "Sorry. I spilled coffee all over my dress." Connor looks suspicious. He gets up and goes to shake Damon's head but Damon back's away without shaking it and simply says, "Damon. Germaphobe." (Technically, the correct term is Mysphobe but we'll let this slide on account of them deep blue eyes.) They engage is passive aggressive small talk and Elena finally exits the washroom. Flash forward to April. She's writing down her speech and Connor approaches her. He STABS her. Yes he stabs her. Why? Because he's a looney tune!
Capri Suns of Blood: Damon hands Elena a blood bag to drink but she spits it up like a newborn baby grossed out by its formula. "I'm dying aren't I?" she asks frantically. Damon responds, "No you're not dying. You just need to drink from the vein." He blames her doppelganger blood because it seems to be rejecting the transition. She doesn't want to drink from the vein and cries out, "Maybe I'm better off dead." The two then proceed to have crazy eye sex. At that exact moment, Stefan walks up and witnesses Damon packing up the blood bag picnic. Damon decides to crack a joke, "Mid-service snack. Church always gets me hungry. The whole blood Christ thing, you know?" They then argue some more about Elena feeding from the vein. Damon brings up the Ripper years and Stefan's all like "Oh no you didn't, brother!" The argument escalates and then Damon drops the (figurative) bomb: Elena can't keep food down for days. "Your four-legged protein shake was a bust. The juice box was a no go. She can't even keep my blood down, " All Stefan got from that was, "She drank from you?" He looks beyond betrayed and we can't help but wonder why Damon bothered to tell his young brother the truth when he knew it'd just cause a lot of heartache and pain.
The Holy War: Elena reenters the church and plops down next to Matt and Jeremy. Jeremy tells her that April was looking for her because she needed help with her speech but poor April is currently bleeding out behind a pew while crazy Con-man loads up his rifle with vervain stakes. Stefan spots Tyler sitting next to Caroline right in open view and asks what he's doing there with a hunter out on the loose. Tyler shrugs and asserts that he could care less. (He's a family man — a compassion Mystic Falls community member — and he's here to mourn people who have never ever appeared once on the show before dammit!) Caroline also pipes up that she's ready to kick some hunter ass for messing with her babycakes. Stefan just nods uncomfortably, raises his brows, and then hurries away.
The service begins Mayor Lockwood takes the stage and opens the floor to anyone who wants to say anything about the council members. She calls out for April and then offers the mic to other people when April does not respond. Elena naturally stands up and hobbles to the stage to give her two cents. At that exact instant, Damon enters the church, dips his hand in the holy water and does his cross looking like a total BAMF. (In the name of Father, The Son, and The Damon Salvatore. Amen, y'all!) He smirks and mutters to himself while sliding into an open seat in the pews, "Don't know why but that always makes me smile." (Us too, Damon, us too.
The Smell of Fear (and Iron): "The worst day of loving someone is the day that you lose them," Elena begins. Beautiful words! However, she halts because she smells something delicious. Sadly, it's not a fresh loaf of homemade break baking in the oven — it's April's blood dripping through the top pew, through the ceiling, and into the water bowl below. Caroline and Tyler smell it too as do both Salvatore brothers. "Nobody move. Don't turn around. It's a trap," Damon warns. As a baby vampire, Elena struggles with the scent through. Luckily, Stefan swoops in and escorts her back to her seat.
Everybody gets up and begins singing. Elena grasps Stefan's jacket and complains about the overpowering scent of blood seeping through the church. Matt glances sideways and asks, "What's wrong with her?" Stefan shares the news that Elena is hungry and hasn't eaten in days. (Great. Now the whole world knows.) Matt follows up, "So get her out of here." (Like, duh!)
Damon's pretty pissed off as well at this point. "I'm going to go rip his head off now," Damon comments in reference to Connor. Stef begs him to wait and not do anything stupid, but Damon's impatient. "I think the risk will be slightly diminished when I…well, you know…rip his head off." Elena's will-power and control are slipping out of her grasp. "You have ten seconds before I go old-fashioned on the new guy," Damon says. "Three two one. Bye."
Sticking His Neck Out for A Friend: Hold up — no need to panic, everyone! Matt offers up his ripe juicy veins as an appetizer. "It's okay. Everyone will think you're upset. Just feed from me." Elena doesn't resist the urge and sinks her teeth into Matt's neck while Connor observes. She manages not to kill him and retracts her fangs after a little sip. (What a lady!) Honestly, this scene is so beautiful yet sad. Matt's returning the favor for being alive by risking his well-being — but, judging by his actions, he seems to understand what sacrifice is all about! Even after feeding though, Elena and crew still sense the blood and Elena reckons it belongs to April — and they can't do anything without attracting unwanted attention.
A Team Player: Tyler to the rescue. Klaus's baby hybrid is all grown up and it becomes apparent when rises up from his seat, walks to the podium, and begins saying a few words about Pastor Young. "Back in first grade I was a brat who couldn't be bothered with team spots. Didn't care much about anything that didn't affect me. But he was the one who helped me understand how important it was to be part of a team, a community. Of giving yourself up for the sake of…" Before he can finish though, Connor shoots his gun and Tyler spins around and crashes to the floor as stake settles in his (rock hard) chest. Connor packs up his weapons and bolts from the scene of the crime. Mayhem ensues inside the church. People begin screaming and fleeing, but Tyler's friends rush up to his body and Caroline yanks out the stake. "I'm going to kill that bastard," Tyler growls. "Damon's way ahead of you," Stefan responds. Luckily for them all, while they were role-playing scenes from Revenge, Carole Lockwood thinks fast on his feet and calls an ambulance since the whole town witness Tyler getting shot.
Punching Out: Connor tries to drive away quickly, but Damon catches up with him and yanks the door right off his pickup truck and throws him out into the street. Connor shoots bullets into Damon's chest and the brawl begins. (Connor is the reason why gun control laws make sense.) He tries to stake Damon but Stefan calls out his name and Connor speeds away in his car. Stefan then punches Damon in the face instead of helping him out.
Soothing Words: Elena finds April and is happy but then smells the blood pouring from her wound. She wants to help but the hunger and bloodlust takes over and with fangs bared she rushes at the poor girl. STOP RIGHT THERE, MISSY! Thank goodness, Vampire Barbie is around to help because she intervenes and prevents Elena from a terrible lapse in judgement. "Look at her, Elena. She's April. April Young. She's not a warm body for you to feed on. She's your friend. She's orphan, just like you. And she's scared just like you were," Caroline says. (It sounds like April and Elena have a lot in common and we sense that they'll be getting along in no time!) Caroline then feeds April some of her blood and tells her that one is going to hurt her.
Then, Caroline pushes the envelope. Hey, girl. You can't feed off of her her…but ya mind compelling her? Caroline says Elena needs to compel April to help her forget all the trauma from that day. "She needs you. You can make her forget all of this." "No. I can't, Caroline. You have to do it," Elena responds nervously. "You just have to believe what you're doing," Caroline reassures her. (Seriously, Care-Bear should be a life coach.)
Elena then compels poor April to help her get through all these tragedies and manages to restore a sense of comfort and balance back into April's life: "April, listen to me. Everything's going to be okay. You're going to get through this just like I got through this. I'm going to help you. I promise. You watched the service from up here so that you could grieve alone. It was a beautiful service. People said really nice things." Elena
Tattoo Ghosts: Back at the Mystic Grill, Jeremy and Matt are joking around.
Matt: That was a scene. How do you think they'll cover this one up?
Jeremy: Assassination attempt on the mayor's son.
Matt: Altar boy goes postal.
However, the jokes end when Connor pops out of nowhere and asks Matt about his neck wound and Matt immediately blames a nonexistent person in his life, "[My] girlfriend went a little overboard." Jeremy then looks at Connor and can't help but notice the sketches on Connor's arms and offers approval, "Nice ink." That tattoo is intense and includes a dragon breathing fire (or that could very well be a dinosaurs…but we're not paleontologists so who knows) and a compass on the back of his right hand. Connor just looks baffled. He's all like, 'Suuuuuure thing, kid'….and then does a cuckoo sign in reference to Jeremy. (No he doesn't but his spooked expression suggests such a thing.)
Finally, Jeremy and Matt wander off together and Matt asks Jer what ink he was referring to. Apparently, only Jeremy can see it! (Is this sort of like the Hippogriff situation? Where only cool and special orphans like Harry Potter and Luna Lovegood can detect the tats?)
Dear April: Connor heads back to his RV and tears open Pastor Young's letter to April. This is what the letter reads:
"Dear April,
I'm sorry for what you're going through. What I did was a necessary sacrifice…and I'm afraid it's only the first of many more sacrifices to come.
There's always been an evil that spread through Mystic Falls, but now a greater one is coming. My death is but the first in the war ahead. I will see you again when we all find our salvation.
Until then, I love you.
The camera zooms out and we see that Connor has all the newspapers that covered the gas line explosion including the Mystic Falls Courier. (Hilariously enough the front page includes weather for the day (sunny with mild chance of rain) and an Opinions column which features this week's topic: "Do cultural events divide or connect our community" (Moreover, on the left hand side there's syntactically displeasing story called "Workplace": How women's changing influence our environment. A special report.") But OMG! Connor has a list of all the Founders Council members – and of them include Sir Peter Moutin, Lucille Ann Martin, Daniel Jones, and Linda Jonmes…The list goes on. What does the new hunter plan to do with it? You can never tell what a crazy person is thinking is what we've learned three seasons later.
Bourbon Night Cap: Stefan hands Elena some bourbon to sip on back at the Salvatore manor. When she makes a disgusted face, he mutters, "Helps with the cravings." Stefan is clearly upset (we've never actually seen him quite as upset over a Damon and Elena "adventure"), so Elena addresses the elephant in the room saying she went to Damon to ask for help because she didn't want to burst Stefan's happy bubble. Stefan goes, "You think I'm happy? You're in hell which means that I'm in hell." (Swoon!)
He continues. "You fed on him, Elena, you fed on him. I know that may not mean that much to you but it means a lot to me. And I know it certainly meant a lot to Damon." Elena just starts crying and apologizing about not wanting to hurt anyone. (At this point, you can sense that Elena is no longer a girl caught between two equally attractive brothers…she's now a girl caught between two dueling philosophies about the sort of vampire she wants to morph into.) She then cries about crying and then cries about all her woes: "We keep burying people, Stefan. You want to know what's heightened? This grief, I can't stop feeling everybody's grief. All the hurt…I feel like it's trying to explode out of me." He calls her "babe" (how weird that sounded since he rarely uses terms of endearment Klaus style) and organizes a last-minute emergency gathering with all of their friends
The 'We Are Grievers' Club: Back at Mystic Falls High, Stefan, Elena, Damon, Bonnie, Caroline, Jeremy, and Matt are all huddled together wondering what's going on. Stef then reveals his intentions — they're there to grieve and let loose. He then hands them each a paper lantern and asks them to express their sorrow. Here's which of their loved ones each of them dedicated the lantern to:
Stefan: This is for my uncle, Zack. My friend, Lexi. For Alaric. [lights lantern]
Matt: This is for Vicki.
Caroline: This is for my dad and Tyler's.
Jeremy: This is for our parents. For Vicki. Anna. Jenna. And Alaric.Jeremy hands the lighter out to Damon but he storms off saying, "No way. I'm not doing it." So Jer hands it to Bonnie instead.
Bonnie: This is for my Grams.
Elena: This is for my mom. My dad. And Jenna. Everyone you've all lost. Everyone that this town has lost. And for me. Because. [Tears up]
They release them up into the air one by one.
In Remembrance: Meanwhile Damon is getting drunk in the cemetery (no surprise there). However, what is shocking is that he's talking to Alaric Saltzman's grave and expressing his true feelings about loss and friendship and love. It's a wonderful moment because we get to see the softer side to Damon — to see the great man he actually is — to get a glimpse of all the pain he hides on a daily basis and have it resonate with us. This scene showed Damon at his best, at his most vulnerable, and at his most compassionate state of being. Whip out your tissues and dive into his haunting and breathtaking eulogy below:
"They're floating lanterns in the sky. Can you believe that? Japanese lanterns is the symbol of letting go of the past. Well, here's a news flash. We're not Japanese! You know what they are? Children. Like lighting a candle is going to make everything okay. Or even saying a prayer. Or pretending that Elena's not going to end up just like the rest of us murderous vampires. Stupid, delusional exasperating little children. I know what you're going to say. '[It] makes them feel better, Damon.] So what? For how long? A minute? A day? What difference does it make? Because in the end when you lose somebody every candle every prayer is not going to make up for the fact that the only thing you have left is a hole in your life where that somebody that you used to care about used to be…and a rock with a birthday [FEBRUARY 4, 1976] carved into that I'm pretty sure was wrong. So thanks, friend. Thanks for leaving me here to babysit. I should be long gone by now. I didn't get the girl, remember? I'm just stuck here fighting with my brother and taking care of the kids. You owe me big."
Damon's words are touching and meaningful — full of awareness and wisdom. His heart is twinged with loneliness and nostalgia and he exudes the sense of losing a good friend beautifully. However, what really gets us crying up a storm is when the camera pans out and we see Alaric sitting right next to Damon, who's unaware that the spirit of his best friend, is listening to his every last drop of pure brilliance. Damon sadly stares down at the epithet [ALARIC SALTZMAN. HE WAS LOVED] and turns to leave. And without missing a beat, Alaric responds, "I miss you too, buddy," leaving us feel hollow yet complete at the same time. End scene.
What an incredible and breathtaking episode! So tell us: what did you think of Vampire Diaries Season 4, episode 2, "Memorial"? What was your favorite scene from the whole episode? Let's discuss in the comments!

Certain treatments can help sustain life when you have a serious illness. But as your illness progresses, there may come a time when these treatments are no longer a benefit. Decisions must then be made whether to continue or stop these treatments. This can be a hard task for you and your loved ones, but know that you're not alone. Your doctor and healthcare team will guide you through these treatment decisions. They will also help answer any questions you may have.
Life-sustaining treatments help keep you alive if a vital body function fails. These treatments can include CPR and the use of machines to assist with heart, lung, or kidney function. They can also include the use of tubes to deliver food, fluids, and medications to the body. Blood transfusions, blood products, and antibiotics are also types of life-sustaining treatments.
These treatments can help extend your life. However, they will not cure your illness. If you are near the end of your life, you may find it hard to tolerate the side effects and problems that can occur with these treatments. In this case, the treatments may be too much of a burden on your body and may cause more harm than good. They may also disrupt the natural dying process and prolong suffering.
If these treatments are stopped, the focus of treatment will shift to comfort care. This involves measures to control pain and other symptoms you may have. These measures are not meant to cure your illness or help you live longer. Instead, they are meant to improve your quality of life during the time you have left. If you are in the end stage of your illness, you may be referred to hospice by your doctor. Hospice provides end-of-life care. This includes emotional, spiritual, and social support for you and your loved ones.
Your doctor and healthcare team will talk with you about the specific treatments that are part of your care plan. If you want, you may include family and friends in these meetings. Here are some questions to think about or ask your healthcare team:
Is there is a chance that my illness will improve? Or will it continue to worsen?
What are my goals of care? Do I want to extend the time I have left? Or do I want to focus my care on comfort and managing symptoms?
How will stopping or continuing these treatments affect my health? Will they enhance my comfort and quality of life? Or will they cause further problems?
Consider your own values or faith. Also ask for advice from those who share your values.
Once you've made your decision to continue or stop specific treatments, you can tell your doctor directly. It is best to also put your treatment wishes in writing with advance directives. These are legal forms related to healthcare decisions. Laws about advance directives vary from state to state. Ask your doctor about what forms are needed to make sure your wishes will be followed. Some common forms include:
A durable power of attorney for healthcare or healthcare proxy form. This form allows you to name a person to make treatment decisions on your behalf when you can't. This person is often called a healthcare proxy, medical or healthcare power of attorney, or agent.
A living will. This form tells others the kinds of treatment you want or don't want if you become too ill or injured to speak for yourself.
Keep in mind that you can change or cancel an advance directive at any time. Make it a practice to review your decisions each time there is a change in your health or goals of care. Also be sure to tell your healthcare proxy and loved ones of any changes in your decisions.
Ideally, the decision to stop treatment is made with the patient's consent. But in some cases, the decision falls to the patient's healthcare proxy or other adult. If you need to make a decision about stopping treatment for a loved one, start by talking to his or her doctor. Review the goals of care and the benefits and burdens of specific treatments on your loved one's health. Also think about your loved ones wishes and values. If needed, seek advice from other healthcare team members, such as a social worker or spiritual advisor.

I stopped in McComb, MS on my way to a larger town due to bad weather and it was close to the interstate. BAD MISTAKE. As with many motels/hotels now-a-days, the staff can't speak good English ( SONIL INC is the owner), but that was not that big of a deal. After I got to sleep I was woke about 11pm with the sounds of slamming doors and kids screaming and runing up and down the hallway. I finally called the front desk... view more

We like this place. Never had any trouble. Great for if you have family to feed. They have a nice large breakfast, included.
Was this review helpful?Yes No|Flag AbuseThis stay was worse than the survise at hardees in newberry and that survise is RUBISH. Honastly I would stay at burger king instead of this place. I found some chocolate in the toilet and it taste like soap and the soap they put under our pillows at night while we're having a terrible sleep taste like chocolate. Also the maids stole my ds so that's how I feel about this place PURE RUBISH.

Do any of these thoughts seem familiar? I'm out at school, but I don't know how to tell my family. I think I might be gay (or bi or trans etc.) but I'm not sure. I want to come out, but I'm scared. My religion/culture conflicts with my sexuality. I'm nervous about graduating and being gay in the "world." I have a crush on him/her but he/she doesn't know I'm gay. I don't feel comfortable in other Queer groups on campus. If so, join Queer and Questioning! This is a small group run by an LGBTQ identified Wellness Center Counselor, Aryela Levy. If you are interested, please email email@example.com so we can find a day and time that works best for everyone.
A joint offering from the Wellness Center and the Women's Center, this is a semi-structured, co-ed, drop-in discussion group. The purpose of this group is to facilitate dialogue about challenges, expectations, and messages regarding gender roles that men and women face. In addition, this group is about increasing self-awareness, challenging stereotypes, and sharing different perspectives regarding gender-related issues. All are welcome to share their experiences and ideas in a context of respectful dialogue. This group will be co-facilitated by Don Domenici (Wellness Center) and Susannah Bartlow (Women's Center) on Wednesdays from 12:15-1:30 beginning 9/21/11. Location TBA.

Ligaments are strong bands of tissue that add strength and give stability to a joint. The medial and lateral collateral ligaments of the knee can be damaged when the knee is hit on the outer side, as can occur in football or hockey. This video looks at how these injuries are treated and what can be done to prevent them.

The 30th anniversary of the FSSA CCC was at Lake Arthur, LA, on Saturday 23 November 2013.
Unfortunately only 4 boats registered for the event sailed in drizzle and strong winds with gusts to 30 knots. The lack of attendance can be attributed to unfavorable weather forecast. The conditions kept one boat from starting any race. The lead boat capsized in the 2nd race but recovered fast enough to finish 2nd in that race. That boat skippered by David Bolyard won the regatta.

From Diane Kampf - Greg and I had the pleasure of participating in the 6th Annual Flying Scot Chaos Cup regatta at Quannapowitt Yacht Club in Wakefield, MA, on Saturday, October 19. the Chaos Cup has a long history at QYC, but most recently has become a Flying Scot regatta. QYC has a long history as well, being the oldcest inland Yacht Club in the country having been founded in 1884!

It would seem the grail of Fleet 80's Sail for the Grail Regatta hosted by Moraine Sailing Club on Saturday Sept. 21st would overflow from the persistent rain that fell that day, but not the case. The good spirits of those on 6 MSC boats and 11 from out of town displaced that rain and filled the grail with fun, competition, and camaraderie. Every person on a Flying Scot and on the Race Committee should commend themselves for stepping out of their comfort zone and facing the elements as the schedule was maintained and three races completed.
The Great Scot is in the books for 2013. Flying Scot Fleet 118 hosted the annual event at the Birmingham Sailing Club on October 5 and 6, 2013. We had a fantastic, record turnout with 23 boats - 17 from BSC and another six from out of town. The weather looked a little dicey mid-week, with a tropical storm in the Gulf and a cold front approaching from the north. But the forecast firmed - the tropical storm stalled and the cold front timed its arrival perfectly, giving us a good day Saturday and great wind on Sunday.
Saturday of the seventh annual Glow in the Dark regatta at Clinton Lake Sailing Association was a blowout. Winds gusted to the low 30s as the afternoon wore on, like a sirocco or the Santa Anas. Still, there was plenty of beer and friendly visiting. Many of us enjoyed admiring class president Frank Gerry's new boat, Eva, which Harry and Karen delivered to the regatta.

The "First Annual" Scotahoochee Regatta was held at the Lake Lanier Sailing Club on September 14-15, but it was actually the second Flying Scot regatta held at LLSC -- the first being our 2012 Dixie Lakes District Championship Regatta on the same weekend last year. Scott and Sharon Adams, helped by several fleet members (a special "thank you" to Peter Kowalski), have figured out very quickly how to put on a first class regatta. Keith and I shared a sweet little rental cabin on the LLSC property with John Sensor and Matt Tringali from our own club. As for us, we traded tack

Flying Scot Fleet 83 at Carlyle, Illinois hosted it's Egyptian Cup on Labor Day weekend at Carlyle lake in Southern Illinois. The Cup is over 50 years old having originated at Crab Orchard Lake in Carbondale, Illinois as a multi fleet regatta. For the last 20 years it has been a Flying Scot Regatta at Carlyle. Sixteen boats competed in warm temperatures. Four races were finished on Saturday and Sunday's races were called due to lack of wind. FSSA president Frank Gerry and first lady Marianne noted that the Saturday meal was one of the finest they have had at a Regatta.

2013 Ephraim Women's Regatta/Series Standing – 4 races scored
2013 Pacific Districts - Port Townsend, WA - August 10-11
By Rich Obst FS2127 Fleet Captain, Fleet 186 Pacific District Governor
Saturday 8/10 had brisk winds 14 - 20+ from the Southwest gave us a real challenge on the racecourse today. 19 boats ventured out and we all managed to stay upright, although a few boats ALMOST went over. Over the course of the 4 races, the wind continued to build, but we stayed out and kept racing. There were a few people after the races saying "I have to call Harry", but mostly boats stayed intact even in the heavy air.
The 108th consecutive annual Ephraim Regatta was a big success. Despite light and lumpy sailing conditions, the race committee managed to complete two races on each day. And everyone, racers and non-racers alike, had fun at Friday's Regatta Welcome Party and Saturday's Bratfest!
The winds were howling in Harwichport on 8/3, with 25 MPH out of the SW, gusting even higher and flags were pointing practically straight up! The Race Committee headed out and a few boats went out past the breakwater. With several boats, even some with 3-up, nearly capsizing, deciding to come back in, we waited a bit before making a decision about going out. Within 15 minutes, the Race Committee came back in with a postpone flag. Less than 1/2 hour later races were cancelled for the day. The regatta will be sailed on Sunday 8/4.
Deep Creek Yacht Racing Association at Deep Creek Lake in Western Maryland, held its annual Sandy Douglass Memorial Regatta on July 27 - 28, with 51 Flying Scots competing.

The first Midwest District Regatta hosted by Eagle Creek Sailing Club had it all: light wind, moderate wind, thunder and lightning, sunshine and buckets of rain! We had boats from six clubs, including Medicine Lake (MN), Ephraim (WI), Chicago, and Clinton Lake and we got all five scheduled races in. Our district covers a lot of ground, when you figure Larry Klick came from Medicine Lake, Minnesota, and that's a 12-hour drive!!

2013 Cowan Lake Pig Roast Regatta - June 1 & 2.
Thank you to all who attended our event!! Total of 20 competitors in two fleets, with 7 from out of town made for a great crowd around CLSA this year.
Sailing on Saturday was in great wind. Quite a bit shifty. Average MPH approx 15 with a few gusts pushing 23 MPH according to our RC. Wind direction was not ideal for Cowan but our RC did a great job setting up the best course they could. Got three very competitive races in as the predicted bad weather held off until later in the night.
Sailed at Hoover Reservoir in light winds on Saturday but better on Sunday AM. Great venue with 10 HP limit on power boats so no unwlecome waives. Sunshine, great friends, good food, fine band. Trophies to the ususal suspects - Hohler, Griffin, Courts and Benner. See full results attached.

From the genre that gives metal a bad name comes Battleroar. I'm a self-admitted patient in the insane asylum of Power Metal, but there are some things that don't even appeal to my tastes. There are some good aspects of this album (as with pretty much any metal album), but they're not enough to garner my recommendation for this self titled effort.
For starters, the production is pretty flat. The focus seems rightfully placed on the guitars, as the rest of the instruments are pretty negligible. The highlight is of course guitar here. Most tracks seem to be built around a pretty straightforward main riff, with little deviation from the expected path. A lot of the riffs are actually very good and catchy, which is what caught my ear at first listen. The battle theme is somewhat cool, but again we've heard this a million times before. Taste my steel, grasp the blade, wield the foe-hammer, victorious we ride, and so forth. Nothing new.
The thing that I couldn't get past was how obnoxious the vocals are. Even as a fan of the falsetto eardrum destroying high notes, I couldn't bring myself to enjoy the vocals. It sounds like a bad karaoke night or something. Usually it's the vocals that help me get past the ultra cheese; a charismatic vocalist can give you the willing suspension of disbelief so that you no longer care about how ridiculous the theme is. Such is not the case here. Another thing that any power metal act should have is an inhuman drummer, while in this case the man on the skins is merely average. Either that or they just don't put him to good use. One way or another, I'm disappointed.
The good thing about coming into a new power or classic metal style act is that you have no expectations of anything, which gives me a clear conscience to say that I will probably never listen to this disc again. When I have to force myself to listen to the entire album, things aren't going well. This is a shame, because there are some nice riffs in there. The production and vocals REALLY bring this one down, therefore I must advise against anyone trying out Battleroar.

"Girls weekend!"
It was perfect. My 2 sisters and 3 cousins have been getting together for the past few years for a girl weekend. Loads of laughs loved the "handicapped" suites. Big rooms and so clean. Loved our breakfast on Saturday morning!!! Junior hockey teams were there also. Great kids and families. Downtown Holland on Friday night was perfect for shopping and […] eating outside.

"Great stop if you need a place in the area"
The staff was excellent...friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean and spacious. The best breakfast buffet I've seen in a Hampton yet!

Definitely worth the money...and I would stay […] here if in the area again. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Nice hotel"
I stayed for one week in a room with a king size bed. It had the comfort pillow top bed which I really liked. The room was near the rear exit which had some traffic but not too bad.

We really didn't need the staff for anything but the girl at the front desk was very helpful, the rooms were top notch and the breakfast was great. I already recommended Hampton in Holland to my friends. Will be backExpedia 真实住客点评
"Fantastic Hotel!"
I've stayed at alot of hotels, many with higher star ratings than this Hampton, and this was simply a stand out! Especially for a Hampton Inn. The front desk crew was incredibly nice, the room is spacious and recently renovated with nice little kitchenette area, big bed and a walk-in shower with a very nice glass door and tile. The pool area with both […] indoor and outdoor hot tubs (outdoor adult only is very nice) and game room were simply fantastic for my 9 year old girl. And, they have a small bar/restaurant on-site by the pool area. You really can't go wrong staying here, especially with Holland so close as well. 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评
"College move in day"
The hotel was very nice and relatively close to campusExpedia 真实住客点评
"So friendly and clean!"
We stayed here for our wedding weekend, and I'm so pleased with every aspect of our stay here. The room was impeccably clean, and the pool and restaurant were beautiful. We had to go to the front desk to replace a lost key, and the woman at the desk was so friendly and gave us a free dessert when she heard it was our wedding weekend! Priceless.Expedia 真实住客点评
"Holland area beaches and Farmer's Market"
The location was great, with easy access to Holland State Park and other beaches, such as Oval Beach. Hotel was full the first night. Morning b-fast, in spite of the crush of guests, was serviced well. Staff extremely friendly, and ready to help.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Perfect family establishment"

"Great Hotel Experience"
We arrived early, and the staff let us check in right away. That was a huge blessing because we were traveling with our parents 80 & 87 year olds.Expedia 真实住客点评
I would definitely stay at this hotel again, the room was nice and updated. The pool, while a little cold for me, was nice and indoor and open late and the restaurant was nice at night for a snack/drink. The free breakfast in the mornings was good too, nice variety for a continental breakfast. The surrounding neighborhood was pretty boring, it felt […] like we were on the edge of town and there wasn't much to do/eat around there, but Holland isn't that big and we were everywhere we wanted to be in about 10 minutes. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Really nice hotel"
I was really impressed with this hotel. I loved the convenience of having a mini fridge and microwave in our room. They were very helpful at the front desk in offering restaurant locations and sight seeing things. The continental breakfast was amazing - tons of food - make your own waffles, cereals, lots of bagels and sweets, plus they had different […] egg options everyday. Enough for the whole family to be stuffed before going to the beach. The pillows were not the best but sure didn't ruin our stay. We are definitely looking at going back again next year. The one thing I really liked it how kid friendly they were. There was a nice pool and games for the kids. In the surrounding area there are so many motels and B&B that finding a nice family hotel is a bit difficult. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Hampton Inn Holland"
Our stay was excellent. We were visiting family in the area and were very satisfied with the clean room and quality of service. The dining room and breakfast buffet were very nice. The pool, spa and gaming areas were very clean and family friendly. The hotel is located in a nice, well lit, safe area of town near shopping, restaurants and activities. […] We will definitely stay at the Hampton Inn in Holland for our next family visit. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Great hotel"
Great hotel for its star rating, spacious and very clean room with a good size bathroom. The hotel pool was clean with an indoor and outdoor spa. The only downside was the bar/restaurant, it did not fit with the ambiance of the hotel and breakfast was a free for all and not at all a comfortable experience. The bar/restaurant let the hotel down as otherwise […] I would have rated my stay as outstanding. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

"Highly Recommended-wonderful hotel experience!"
By far the best hotel I've stayed in with some of the friendliest staff too! Exceptionally clean, very well managed, outstanding breakfast, clean pool and hot tubs with adult hours after 10:30 PM. They welcomed us on early arrival and let us check out a little later than planned. They suggested things to do while in town which were all good! The breakfast […] staff went out of their way to accommodate us when they served eggs with ham and we don't eat ham. I could not say enough good things about this hotel and would highly recommend it to anyone staying in the area! 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

"Vacation to Michigan beach towns."
We stayed here for a vacation to explore Michigan's beach towns, and were not disappointed. The hotel was very clean and the staff was wonderful and helpful. Our room was super clean, we love the "fresh for you linens" in every room. Free breakfast every morning was great, they had something for everyone and plenty of seating. The pool area was superb! […] A wonderful large pool with plenty of places to sit and put your stuff. An indoor Jacuzzi and outdoor as well, it was family friendly but was still nice for grown up time too! There was also a really nice rec-room area around the pool where you could play pool, air hockey ,video games ,table tennis etc. with vending machines for ice-cream and drinks too. The on site restaurant was a nice plus, but all the rooms had mini fridges and microwaves, and an area with cabinets for food storage too. We were able to take food to prepare ourselves to save money and have lunches for our times on the beach. 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评

I would definitely stay at the Holland Hampton again. We were warmly greeted by staff upon our arrival. Staff very generously helped us with our luggage cart when arriving and leaving. Breakfast was wonderful! Rooms were very comfy! Very nice pool area!Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"great hospitality, super clean, newly rennovated.."
We stayed there for 2 nights. Can't imagine how to improve anything...the women serving at the breakfast buffet worked very hard because it was a rainy weekend and everyone slept in late and came down at the same time---the women furiously refilled food pans and coffee decanters, with smiles and cheerfulness. Front desk was efficient and friendly. Coffees […] available all day long in the lobby (also in room). Great mattresses, nice to have fridge and microwave in the room (we were travelling with a baby), even the clock had the sounds machine (running water, waves, etc). Nice décor. Friendly maid service. Glad they repainted the hotel from pink to mustard. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
Of course we keep -- that FaceBook its IPO is drawn attention to both FaceBook and social media in general.
Not people are asking the question if maybe the market or just the world in general is being saturated by so much social media.
Even if that is the case our next guest is here to be able to help everybody handle all of that and we're here with -- patent the founder.
And CEO of -- us -- -- really you sort of take it from here that is start up by explaining what exactly -- is what it does.
Yes so banks -- -- banjo to -- banjo was like a location based browser.
And so anywhere that you're at or anywhere that you wanna be you concede the social content from the social -- you mentioned FaceBook and Twitter.
But there's so much noise -- like citizen -- maybe there's too much of it going on but when you put location to.
The context of these social post in the photos that are being shared.
It also makes sense -- -- -- things that are happening around me or maybe somewhere that I wanna be room for example coming up in the Olympics in London we all can't be there.
But banjo let you go to the in the Olympic venues and see all of the content from the social networks being shares he can still be part of it.
Day isn't doesn't he seems hard to manage.
All is assuming you have so many different counts.
I don't have time to log on to FaceBook and then log on to Twitter and then -- on it.
It and they're just so many options out there for social media and it seems like you need to be a part of all of it in order to it.
They you know be be in the know but it's so hard to manage it also how -- -- deal with that aspect of things just the fact of having -- have so many different account.
And one plays -- that's why banjo comes in really handy because this is the whole part of it is that it does it is hard to manage and all.
Become one of the aspects of of -- -- greatest use is that.
You can open a banjo and see the content from these different social networks in real time as it happens.
As it's going by.
-- without having to sit -- Illinois because it picks out what's important for you.
And you don't have to belong to all of these social networks just to get the value out of them.
And that was one of the reasons I started banjo is because if I have to get my friends to get -- all one social network to keep up with them it's impossible for -- they may not like the same social networks as me.
So banjo what you tap into all of the social network that may -- you or your friends are on and get all of that information in one easy place to that you don't miss out on anything that's important -- you.
And it -- -- he's gonna comment from Charles -- big deal who cares if friends our close by or not isn't the point.
Of social media to sort of keep track of people that are all over the place that you can't keep track event he's -- you -- if they were -- nearby.
The so -- it's a good question from Charles.
So this is not so bad just started because I missed a very important connection analyst Charles decide if I was at an airport and I was leaving going back home and a good friend that I served in desert storm with was in the same airport in the same -- -- me.
This is someone we don't keep up every single day with one another on our social networks I mean who has the time for that.
So we were at this one place together but yet it wasn't until we got home we both realize that we -- in an airport that neither of us -- you know live nearby.
We're there at the same time the we -- is important connection.
And so if I got a notification Mike -- would do now that says my FaceBook my Twitter my answer -- friend was nearby.
This is very important I wanna know that because it's actually a very important moment for me to hook up and to talk to the people that matter most to me in my life like good friend that I served in desert storm.
Now what if -- not necessarily in -- location -- you're looking for information.
From a particular location -- mean even in a new stories Lotta times will now turn to social media for some quick access before we can get our own boots on the ground.
To find out what people in a certain area are saying can.
Then just sort of help you narrow -- aspect of things down.
Yet and it does very well because banjo is a location based browser.
And allows you to go anywhere and real time and hear and see what's happening on the ground.
For example a lot of -- media outlets for using banjo and are using bad -- during let's say the the trade on -- case down in Florida and they wanted to be able to see what was going almost a cent to that we -- on -- you can see everybody talking about a -- don't know really who's there who's in -- community get a comforting and you've -- that the that -- -- the topic at least that's right if people use the hash tag that is missing mean there there right but now -- the information is a lot more relevant when you can go to Sanford Florida and banjo.
And let's just say where is here in New York weren't gonna Sanford Florida and then in banjo allows you to search -- putting your interest that we can type in the word trade off.
And everybody talking about typically go in Florida -- in in enough specific count and rate is talking about it and makes it much more interesting again it's sporting events and this week and we discussed them with.
The Indianapolis 500 in the big race NASCAR race in Charlotte in the big F one race in Monaco.
And so millions of fans from around the world watched these events they couldn't be there they can partake of banjo let all these fans know they're in real time.
And see what was going on.
And you have to know limited to location or can -- -- disputed as as an aggregators.
Of all your -- -- media.
Yet so the banjo based upon adding location to the the tweets and FaceBook page post the pictures from -- a Graham.
And so it really is about when you open -- -- -- about experiencing everything that's around you first and foremost and then allowing you to go anywhere in the world you want to real time.
But everything is based and the location based content if you well.
Making it more relevant -- you then say just a stream of of content going by and so what are -- different.
Programs right now that banjo and -- So FaceBook of course -- region Twitter.
It's a -- foursquare linked in Gmail.
And many more -- chose not just.
Here in the US were very global we're used in more than a 190 countries more than a hundred countries every day people are using them to actively.
And because of that there's a lot of social networks outside of the United States now that we're looking at and bringing into -- rich in the people.
Who are using this assay in Europe or in in southeast Asia or South America so this is constantly growing and it's going every day.
And -- we've -- doing to promote it.
Yes so we've been very lucky in the fact adding on other programs like our own accord full.
Of course it shows like -- that are helping us it's also people are sharing this of their friends -- -- every day 203040000.
People share banjo with their friends.
-- so they don't miss out on important connections either and that's been the secret of our growth we don't do.
-- -- -- advertising.
We're up to bottom one and a half million people using banjo and those people have all found out about it.
Either from programs like this or from going to the App Store whether it's -- iPhone or whether it's that and who play on android.
Or you're hearing about it for their friends and I think that's the number one way right now people sharing it and you can you sit on -- Smartphone.
I've had typed in LA so are obviously any computer -- -- that you get there is there is they browser based version of the computer.
The main version of this is iPhone and an android and -- be going to add their.
The phone platforms shall shortly.
We have a response from Charles.
He says that's okay personally it was OK the personally if I'm doing something I don't want to be bothered by my friends and I'd like -- there.
-- -- -- than you think that there are bothering you know are they anyway childlike his privacy and that's sign.
Mike on the other hand says it's nice you can actually connect with a friend by meeting them as opposed to -- Doesn't it yes so.
This kind of product and I'll and I'll I'll talk to Charles about this not -- -- Panetta trends we're gonna we're gonna.
-- does respect your privacy and and its location is something new and social so with that it can be a little scary if you will.
And so how do you get through that with the user to understand.
You know -- chairman location how to get invited locations -- with banjo what's great about it is -- as we really take a privacy seriously you're not sharing your location -- -- -- -- You're able to see everything going on around you see what's.
Where your friends are who are sharing location at the you don't necessarily have to show up and is sleeping little -- no data on a map that people can follow -- and in -- you're not and when you come on the banjo and those people who are downloading banjo right now.
When they come on they're gonna -- -- people around them and think -- maybe my location is exposed it's not not.
Banjo only shows your location when you make the decision to -- doing something public whether that's tweeting or sharing a photo on its program.
Again to the intended audience so for example your FaceBook friends -- around you wanted to keep that maybe within your FaceBook friends so we respect the privacy -- security -- social networks like FaceBook.
So you're not gonna go on on banjo today and see any -- my FaceBook posts only my FaceBook friends are.
But if I decided to share something out Twitter to the whole world there is a -- rather want the feedback then of course you're gonna see that because that made it publicly available.
Makes sense to me each other -- makes sense -- -- And Charles like everybody else commented thank you so much for your feedback please continue to do so as a show continues Damien thanks so much for being on -- really appreciate it thanks for having a really great product.
And now we're gonna.

Hang tight!
Recipe by Dean Lawson
"This is very rich and creamy. Probably the best cheesecake that I have ever eaten. This recipe actually tastes incredible with any flavor of jam!!"
Watch video tips and tricks
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup raspberry jam
2 cups frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 (9 inch) graham cracker crust
This was pretty good! I added a cup of melted chocolate to the cream cheese mixture and made a raspberry chocolate cheesecake--YUM!
This was a all around good recipie. The mousse is great (although halving the amount of the jam and whip topping would still cover the whole cheesecake). I was slightly disappointed by the recommended cook time. I may have messed something up along the way, but I had it in the oven for around 35 minutes, and it still wasnt done. Cut back on the ingredients for the mousse and increase the cooking time, and this recipe might be a five star.
36 Ratings
I just made this for a ladies tea and it was a huge success. I used a small 8" springform pan and used one package of neufchatel cheese instead of 2 full-leaded. Loved it!
Easy; great; impressive; I made it with real whipped cream and it was wonderful.
This cheesecake was okay. The cheesecake part was not sweet enough, and the raspberry mousse on top was a little lacking, too. I would not make this again.
Quick & refreshing, yet very easy. I served this at a dinner party & everyone was very impressed. Even my brother-in-law, who doesn't normally like cheesecake, said it was the best he'd ever had & even had seconds. I added a bit of sweetened condenced milk to the mousse part to help it set up better (about 1/3 can). This made a lovely presentation, moderatly sweeter though. I will definatly make this again & again!
I loved this recipe. The only thing I would change is, I would not make as much raspberry mousse because when I cut into the well chilled cheesecake, the mousse ran into the area where I just removed the piece of cheesecake. It made it a little messy for presentation, but the taste is wonderful. I also garnished it with fresh raspberries and blackberries. It really added to the dish.
Very tasty and very pretty. When cut, the pie displays several layers - the cream topping, the raspberry preserves formed a second layer after chilling, the cheesecake, and then the crust. Next time, I'll spread the mousse layer more smoothly and garnish with fresh raspberries and mint leaves.

I am sick and tired of Health Canada and Steven Harper saying everyone they
provided licenses to are CRIMINALS.
WHY now? After providing thousands with permission to grow for years?
Because they REALIZE that YES indeed Cannabis will become a BILLION dollar industry and they can make $$$. LOT's of MONEY.
Who cares about the Health in Health Canada?
It is ONLY about money... for them.
For US it is about a life saving medicine that has changed our lives for the better!
ONE that WE were prescribed by a Dr. (not paid for) & granted permission from Health Canada to have a Designated Grower and provide Storm with his own medicine.
YES WE have invested MUCH. Blood , sweat & tears and $$$.
You would too if your only son was suffering from a terminal to progressive, no treatment no cure, chronic pain disease! We are after 7 years finally just now making up for all of it and providing for Storm and myself perfectly.
NOW Health Canada expects us to stop providing for ourselves - as we have for the past 7 years. We are expected to stop and start paying for cannabis -* the amount Storm would need, according to Health Canada's prediction of prices would be:
10 grams / day @ $5 = $18,200.00/year
@$3 = $10,920.00/year
@ $7 / gram = $25,480.00 < what H.C. suggests.
ARE YOU F*CKING KIDDING ME? - people wonder why I swear. ;)
We can not afford it. Could you?
For something our DG is now producing for pennies?
I think NOT.
Simply because they ASSume, we are all criminals?
I know what I am and it is NOT a criminal.
All cops are Pigs.
All fat people are lazy.
All blonds are dumb.
All priests are pedophiles.
All muslims are terrorists.
All women are easy.
All men are assholes.
All politicians are criminals .. (hmmmmmmmm - verdict not yet in on this one.)
