| Qetsiyah: When they drank the immortality elixir, they violated the natural law that all living things must die, so Nature found a balance by creating mortal shadow selves.
Stefan: Doppelgängers.
— Qetsiyah and Stefan in Original Sin
A Doppelgänger (or a "Shadow Self") is a person who happens to be a supernatural double of a person that has lived before them. They are Nature's way of balancing itself, by repeatedly creating mortal counterparts of truly immortal beings to live and eventually die in their place. For over two thousands years, Amara's and Silas' shadows have appeared over the centuries to take their places as mortal human beings. While their lives don't always follow an exact pattern they tend to find each other and fall in love with one another over the centuries.
Introduction of the Doppelgängers
While the term was first used in the series to merely remark upon Elena Gilbert's resemblance to Katherine Pierce, it soon becomes apparent that Elena is in fact a direct descendant of her lookalike, and the doppelgänger phenomenon is established not as a coincidence, but as a supernatural occurrence. Following further elucidation from members of the Mikaelson family, it is revealed that another doppelgänger of the so-called Petrova bloodline, Tatia, lived as a neighbor to the Originals when they became vampires. So far as the Originals knew, Tatia's doppelgängers were created as a means to undo the curse placed on Klaus. It isn't until the fifth season that this proves untrue. The bloodline terminating with Elena actually goes back about 2,000 years to Amara, the world's first immortal woman and the oldest known ancestor of the Petrova bloodline. Elena, along with Katherine and Tatia, are the known doppelgängers of Amara. Amara's doppelgängers have, since Tatia, been known to be born 500 years after their precedent's death. Not much is known about the lives of the other doppelgängers, other than Qetsiyah's implication that there have been many of them over the centuries. The other known doppelgänger bloodline was not introduced until the Season Four finale. This second line descends from Silas, the world's first immortal being, and terminates with Stefan Salvatore. According to Qetsiyah, Stefan isn't Silas' first doppelgänger, and there have been at least as many shadows of Silas as there have been of Amara.
The phenomenon of the shadow-self occurs to counterbalance a disruption to nature's law that all living things must die. Qetsiyah, one of the most powerful witches and member of a very gifted people called The Travellers, created a spell for immortality. Silas stole the immortality elixir and used it on himself and his lover, Amara. Disrupting that balance when they became truly immortal, Silas and Amara, inadvertently, became originators to lines of mortal shadow-selves.
Silas and Amara: The World's First Immortals
Over two thousand years ago in ancient Greece, a young warlock named Silas was engaged to be married to Qetsiyah, a witch. Together, they were the most powerful members of a gifted people called Travellers. Silas told Qetsiyah that he wanted their love to last forever, even beyond death, and he convinced her to create a spell that would make them immortal. On the night that their wedding ceremony was to take place, Silas absconded with the elixir Qetsiyah had created, and as Qetsiyah watched plant life wither before her eyes, she knew that not only had Silas taken the elixir, he had also given her portion to someone else. She sought out Silas and found him in the wilderness with another woman – her handmaiden, Amara - and she had taken Qetsiyah's share of the immortality elixir.
Silas, having left Amara alone, returned to their hiding place to find Qetsiyah crouching over the chalice that had held the elixir. He cautiously enquired after Qetsiyah's purpose, and she explained that, to follow up her first gift of the immortality elixir, she had brought a second gift: the cure for immortality. Silas was dumbfounded, hardly believing her, but she insisted that it worked, as she had already used it on another immortal. Filled with dread, Silas ran into the tent he had shared with Amara, only to find blood soaked into every surface, as though someone had been brutally slaughtered there. Qetsiyah followed him into the tent and lifted a bloody human heart out of the chalice, admitting that she had slit Amara's throat before ripping her heart out. After Silas refused to take the cure, Qetsiyah trapped him on a desolate island in an underground cave, where he desiccated for two thousand years, entombed with the cure.
One major consequence of Silas and Amara becoming immortal was the creation of two lines of shadows, or doppelgängers. Their immortality had violated nature's law that all living things must die, and so the doppelgängers came to exist as versions of Silas and Amara that can die. According to Qetsiyah, many identical replicas of Silas and Amara have been born over the centuries, finding each other time and time again as though drawn together by destiny. However, the exact number of doppelgängers that have existed is not certain, as only four doppelgängers have been identified by name: Stefan Salvatore is the only known Silas' doppelgänger that has been identified thus far as well as the recently discovered Tom Avery, an Atlanta Paramedic, while Tatia, Katerina Petrova, and Elena Gilbert have been identified as Amara's.
Tatia and the Original Vampires
Tatia was a descendent and a shadow of Amara. She lived in America during the 11th century as a contemporary of the Mikaelson family. Even though she had already had a child by another man, both Elijah and Klaus fell in love with her. Seeking to end their feud, their mother, Esther, took her away. They later learned that it was Tatia's blood that laced the wine they consumed the night their mother turned them into vampires. Although it has not been explicitly stated, it is inferred that it was Tatia that Esther sacrificed to bind the hybrid curse.
Katerina, Elena, and the Hybrid Curse
- Main article: Hybrid Curse
The notion of the doppelgänger as a class of supernatural beings was introduced in the episode Rose by the character of the same name. Until that point, the term was used simply to describe Elena's uncanny resemblance to the vampire Katherine, but Rose explains that Elena is a "Petrova doppelgänger" and that she is one of the necessary components in a ritual to break the Sun and the Moon curse, which allegedly caused vampires to be ruled by the sun and werewolves to be ruled by the moon. Rose had originally tried to hand Elena over to Elijah, in an effort to earn back his and Klaus' favor, but after Elijah kills her friend Trevor, Rose decides to tell Elena and the Salvatores what she knows about Klaus. Rose's story is corroborated by Katherine, who tells Elena about how Klaus had wanted to use her in the sacrifice five hundred years before – to "drain every single drop of blood" from her body.
In the episode Klaus, Elijah reveals to Elena that the Sun and the Moon curse was fake, and the real curse was one that had been placed on Klaus to suppress his werewolf nature in order to prevent him from becoming a hybrid. He explains that five hundred years ago, Klaus had intended to sacrifice Katerina in the ritual, but she thwarted him by turning herself into a vampire, thus rendering herself useless – the doppelgänger had to be human for the ritual to break the curse.
In The Last Day, Elena surrenders herself to Klaus, and in The Sun Also Rises, after Jules the werewolf and Jenna the vampire have been sacrificed and their blood spilled over the moonstone by the witch Greta, Klaus drains Elena of her blood until she dies, and thus successfully breaks the Hybrid Curse.
Fortunately for Klaus, Elena actually survives the sacrifice, and in The Reckoning, Klaus discovers from Esther (via Bonnie and Matt, who had contacted Vicki on the Other Side) that the blood of the doppelgänger is required to create more hybrids like himself. After a werewolf drinks Klaus' blood and he kills them, once they reawaken they must drink Elena's blood in order to complete the transition and become a hybrid.
Silas' Return and Qetsiyah's Resurrection
In the twenty-first century, a man named Atticus Shane sets in motion a series of events that leads to the resurrection of the immortal Silas. Once he has regained his strength, Silas manipulates those around him to further his agenda: Bonnie must complete the Expression Triangle and destroy the veil, while Klaus must find the cure and return it to Silas. These things all occur to some extent – Bonnie completes the triangle and drops the veil, while Silas gets a hold of the cure – but Silas' plan goes awry when Bonnie subdues him and turns him to stone, and Alaric nabs the cure and gives it to Damon.
Later, while trying to resurrect Jeremy, Bonnie dies and the spell on Silas breaks. When Stefan is about to dump Silas' body into the quarry, Silas appears and reveals to Stefan his true form; they look exactly alike, and Silas explains that Stefan is his shadow self, before locking Stefan in a safe and dropping it into the quarry.
Sometime when the veil was down, Qetsiyah managed to return from the Other Side in order to take matters into her own hands. After freeing Stefan and telling him her version of the story between her, Silas, and Amara, she uses Stefan in a spell to link him to Silas, then fries his brain, which in turn deprives Silas of his mind control abilities.
The Doppelgänger Prophecy
According to Qetsiyah, the doppelgängers of Silas and Amara, known as the Salvatore Doppelgangers and the Petrova Doppelgangers in the current or modern times, have been supernaturally brought together repeatedly, by destiny, nature and the universe. This is a result of the mortal shadow selves of Silas and Amara, who were soulmates and true love, being driven by destiny, fate, the Universe and Nature to replace their progenitors and originators due to both Silas and Amara being truly immortal and therefore, unkillable. It is uncertain whether or not the Salvatore Doppelgangers and the Petrova Doppelgangers were actually born every 100 years (as Qetsiyah seemed to have suggested) and whether or not the Petrova Doppelgangers stopped existing every century after 10th century A.D. when Tatia, the presumed 2nd Petrova Doppelganger, was used in order to turn the Mikaelson Family into vampires and was also used by Esther, the Original Witch, to suppress Klaus' werewolf side (a.k.a. The Hybrid Curse). Qetsiyah has said that she has seen them (Salvatore and Petrova Doppelgangers) all finding each other and falling in love with each other, century after century. She even goes so far as to say that she was simply an obstacle to the story of Silas and Amara, and that Damon is basically playing the same role to the story of Stefan and Elena. Qetsiyah has also said that despite the Salvatore Doppelgangers and the Petrova Doppelgangers being destined to be together, something or someone; an obstacle, always happens to come or stand between the "two fates". It should also be noted that despite the doppelgangers being destined to be together and the Universe and Nature pushing for them to be together, it is possible for the doppelganger to fall in love with other people. In regards to Qetsiyah admitting that she has seen endless shadow selves of Silas and Amara finding each other and falling in love over the centuries, she could have also meant that she has seen Silas and Amara's doppelgangers finding each other on The Other Side century after century, since doppelgangers are considered to be a supernatural species, and therefore, when doppelgangers die, they cross over to The Other Side. It is not certain if any of Silas and Amara's doppelgangers fell in love and had children together, although this theory is not likely. Despite nature's great hatred for immortality, it appears the doppelgängers continued to live the life that the immortal Silas and Amara couldn't have. It is currently unknown if the doppelgängers are the only determinants in this matter or if the universe actively influences a series of events that would lead them to be together. It is possible that since the last remaining doppelgängers are now vampires, nature does not try to enforce the prophecy as they will have an eternity worth of time to be together. It is also possible that nature will have indirectly rendered them impervious to any fatal harm as the prophecy wouldn't be fulfilled for as long as they keep away from each other. As of the current times, Stefan is the last living Salvatore Doppelganger in existance and Elena is the latest Petrova Doppelganger in existance, with Katherine preceding Elena by 500 years. Due to the fact that Stefan and Elena did not reproduce or have children and now that Silas and Amara are deceased, the doppelganger gene is extinct, with Stefan and Elena being the last of their kind (Stefan being the last Salvatore Doppelganger and Elena being the last Petrova Doppelganger).
Powers and Abilities
- Blood: Because they are mystical and recurrant, doppelgängers are a massive source of power such as a full moon or a comet. The blood of a doppelgänger can link supernatural beings (vampires, werewolves, witches and hybrids) to kinship with the help of magic conducted by any witch/warlock. The blood of a doppelgänger can also be used in the realization of a curse or spell which is extremely powerful. The blood of a doppleganger can still be used even if they've been turned into a vampire as seen in Death and the Maiden when Qetsiyah used Elena's blood to transfer the Anchor from Amara to Bonnie.
Known Doppelgängers
Amara's Doppelgängers
Amara's known doppelgängers are Tatia, Katherine and Elena, the latter two of which have appeared on-screen. Elena is sometimes referred to as the Petrova doppelgänger because of her striking resemblance to Katerina Petrova.
Tatia was born during the 10th century A.D. in the area where Mystic Falls was to be formed. She was a contemporary of the Mikaelson Family around the early 11th century. During the Middle Ages, Tatia had a child with an unknown man; later in time, she met Elijah and Niklaus Mikaelson, both of whom fell in love with her (especially Klaus, according to Elijah). Esther, the mother of Elijah and Niklaus and also the Original witch, used Tatia's blood in the spell or ritual to create the Original Vampires, as part of the wine laced with blood in which Mikael had given his children. Her blood was also part of the spell Esther used to bind Klaus' werewolf side, which resulted in Klaus' werewolf gene being dormant.
Katerina Petrova
Katerina Petrova (a.k.a. Katherine Pierce) was born in Bulgaria during the 15th century on June 5th, 1473. In the year 1492, when she was still a human, she was captured by Klaus. She knew that she was going to die, so she tricked Trevor, one of Klaus' servants, into helping her escape. Katherine was clever, cunning and smart; she knew that if she became a vampire, she'd be rendered useless to Klaus. Katherine stabbed herself with a knife but was given vampire blood by Rose in an attempt to heal her stabbing wound and afterwards, Katherine hung herself and came back as a vampire. In return for her escape, Klaus made her suffer by killing her entire family in Bulgaria, thinking that the doppelgänger would never appear again. What Klaus didn't know was that Katherine had a child out of wedlock that was kept secret and this child continued the bloodline of the Petrova family, leading to the birth of Elena Gilbert. Tired from running, Katherine intended to make a deal with Klaus by giving him the ingredients he needed to break the curse in exchange for her freedom. She planned to hand over the moonstone, Elena Gilbert, Caroline Forbes (a vampire), Tyler Lockwood (a werewolf) and Bonnie Bennett (a witch). When Katherine was about to take out her own doppelganger, Elena shoves the cure, into her mouth. She is the doppelganger of Tatia and her doppelganger is Elena Gilbert.
Elena GilbertElena Gilbert was born in Mystic Falls, Virginia during the 20th century on June 22nd, 1992. Elijah was the first one who found out about Elena before Klaus. At first, when Rose told Elijah about this, he didn't believe it. But soon enough he found out that the Petrova family line didn't end with Katherine because she had given birth to a baby girl that was given away by her father, thus continuing the Petrova bloodline. Once Klaus learned of the Petrova doppelgänger, Elena, he came to Mystic Falls, and he kidnapped Katherine, temporarily taking over the body of Alaric Saltzman. As with Katherine, Klaus is responsible for the death of Elena's family, most notably their aunt Jenna Sommers, Elena and Jeremy's legal guardian. He terned Jenna into a vampire and killed her for the sacrificial ritual. Unlike with Katherine, Klaus successfully killed Elena and as a result, he breaks the curse. Fortunately for Elena, John Gilbert had Bonnie form a special spell that bound Elena's life force or essence to his. This spell brought Elena back to life, but in return, killed John and took his life. In The Departed, Jeremy took Elena to Mystic Falls Hospital after discovering her lying unconscious at home. Meredith Fell discovered Elena was suffering from a serious cerebral hemorrhage and secretly injected her with vampire blood to heal her. This action fortunately saved Elena from death. The same day, Rebekah ran Elena and Matt off Wickery Bridge to save her siblings from Alaric, since his life force was tied to Elena. That way, if she died, so would Alaric. Jeremy arrives home to see Alaric, and he talks to him and Jeremy realizes that he is a ghost, and that if he is dead, that means his sister, Elena, must also be dead. Stefan hurried to Wickery Bridge, intending to save Elena, but she insisted that he save Matt's life instead, who was unresponsive after crashing into the water. By the time Stefan pulled Matt out of the water, Elena had drowned and died. Stefan brought her body back to Mystic Falls Hospital, where she woke up, transitioning into a vampire with Damon's blood in her system. She is the last of Amara's doppelgängers and being a vampire the line ends with her.
Silas' Doppelgängers
Stefan Salvatore
Stefan Salvatore was born in Mystic Falls, Virginia during the 19th century on November 5th, 1846. He was turned into a vampire along with his brother Damon in the year 1864 by Amara's distant descendant, Katherine Pierce. Like his ancient ancestor Silas, Stefan was involved in a love triangle with Katherine and Damon. Stefan was unaware of the fact that he was a doppelganger during his human years and that he was turned into a vampire by Amara's very distant descendant Katherine. Stefan was turned into a vampire against his will; Katherine had been compelling Stefan to consume her vampire blood for weeks. When Katherine is captured by the Founders Council Members, Stefan and Damon plot to rescue Katherine from being burned in a church by fire. Although Stefan and Damon do end up rescuing Katherine, Stefan and Damon are both shot dead by their own father Giuseppe. It was then that Stefan transformed into a vampire. When he first transitioned, Stefan suffered from severe hunger for blood and therefore, had problems controlling himself around human blood. Regarding the bloodline of Silas, not too much is known about it, its background and its history. Qetsiyah mentioned to Stefan that she has seen doppelgangers of Silas preceding Stefan while watching from The Other Side.
Tom AveryHe is killed by Enzo. A new doppelgänger of Silas is discovered in the episode While You Were Sleeping, a paramedic who resides in Atlanta, Georgia. In Rescue Me it is revealed that he was kidnapped by the witch Hazel and put in a comatose state under a cloaking spell in order to protect him from The Travellers. He is later found by Caroline and Enzo. Caroline snaps Enzo's neck in order to prevent him from killing Tom. Caroline then takes him to a diner and compels him to tell her about his life. Confirming he is a good person, she compels him to run, far from The Travellers and Enzo. Before he can leave, however, Enzo catches up to them and snaps his neck, killing him making Stefan the last living doppelgänger of Silas.

- In some traditions, when a doppelgänger is seen by a person's friends or relatives, the contact prophesies illness or danger, while a person seeing their own doppelgänger is an omen of death.
- In other traditions or legends, a doppelgänger is connected with the person copied; sometimes causing the feelings of injuries between the original and the doppelgänger. For example, if the doppelgänger is injured, the other person will also be hurt or feel pain.
- "Doppelganger" is a German word or term meaning "double walker" or "double goer"―a shadow self that is thought to accompany every person. Traditionally, it is said that only the owner of the doppelganger can see this phantom self and that it can be a harbinger of death. Occasionally, however, a doppelganger can be seen by a person's friends or family, resulting in quite a bit of confusion.
- The word doppelganger is a loanword from German, written there (as any noun) with an initial capital letter Doppelganger, composed from doppel, meaning "double", and ganger, as "walker". In English, the word is conventionally not capitalized, and it is also common to drop the German diacritic umlaut on the letter "a" and write "doppelganger", although the correct spelling without umlaut would be "doppelgaenger".
- The term has, in the vernacular, come to refer to any double or look-alike of a person, most commonly in reference to a so-called evil twin, or to bilocation. Alternatively, the word is used to describe a phenomenon where you catch your own image out of the corner of your eye. In some traditions, seeing one's own doppelganger is an omen of death. A doppelganger seen by friends or relatives of a person may sometimes bring bad luck, or indicate an approaching illness or health problem.
- The doppelgangers of folklore cast no shadow, and have no reflection in a mirror or in water. They are supposed to provide advice to the person they shadow, but this advice can be misleading or malicious. They can also, in rare instances, plant ideas in their victim's mind or appear before friends and relatives, causing confusion. In many cases once someone has viewed his own doppelganger, he is doomed to be haunted by images of his ghostly counter-part.
- Other folklore says that it is considered unlucky to try to communicate with a doppelgänger.
- According to Qetsiyah, the shadows of Silas and Amara are destined to find each other and fall in love, based on her observations throughout the centuries. However, evidently, they are also capable of developing romantic feelings for other people. Examples include:
- Elijah and Katherine
- Elena and Damon
- Despite this, the Universe, Destiny and Fate always finds a way to overcome these obstacles and bring the doppelgängers back together again.
- The term doppelgänger doesn't seem to imply any hierarchy.
- Qetsiyah has, in one instance, mentioned Silas as Stefan's doppelgänger.
- Silas himself referred to Amara as Elena's doppelgänger.
- Silas and Stefan can be called doppelgängers of each other. Similarly, Tatia, Katherine, Elena and Amara are all doppelgängers of each other since they are all lookalikes of each other.
- The term "Shadow" has some implied hierarchy as opposed to doppelgänger.
- Katherine referred to Elena as her shadow self and Silas did the same to Stefan.
- Elena is the shadow of Amara, Tatia and Katherine, while Katherine is that only of Amara and Tatia.
- Doppelgängers are humans for most intents and purposes. However, they are a supernatural occurrence and are therefore, considered to be a supernatural species. The difference between regular humans and doppelgängers is that spells that use a doppelgänger can be broken using another doppelgänger.
- Death by a doppelgänger counts as a supernatural death. A person wearing a Gilbert ring comes back to life if killed by the doppelgänger.
- The Gilbert rings do not protect supernatural creatures and is, thus, theorised not to work on a doppelgänger. It has never been confirmed.
- They can, however, be compelled by vampires like any regular human.
- It seems that the men who spend a lot of time with doppelgängers of Amara can't help but fall in love with her or fall vulnerable to her charms. Back in the 11th century, it was stated that every man in the village fell in love with Tatia, though Elijah and Klaus more than any others. Trevor, Elijah, Damon, Stefan, and Mason fell in love with Katherine, and Noah was obsessed with her. Matt, Stefan, and Damon fell in love with Elena.
- Katherine and Elena both became vampires, though Katherine has been cured and is now human.
- Silas and his doppelgänger, Stefan, have first names beginning with the letter "S".
- Seeing as Amara's doppelgängers follow a pattern in naming (with all of their first names ending with the letter "A"), it is reasonable to assume that the other unknown doppelgängers of Silas follow this pattern of having first names which begin with the letter S.
- All of the known shadows of Amara, like herself, have first names that rhyme with each other. All of the known Petrova doppelgängers, including the progenitor Amara, all have first names which end with an "A" (AmarA, TatiA, KaterinA, ElenA).
- Aside from Tatia, Katherine and Elena, there is presumed to be another doppelgänger of Amara who precedes Tatia, born during c. 5th century A.D. She is presumed to be Amara's very first doppelgänger, although this is not confirmed and is just a theory.
- Although Tatia, Katherine and Elena are known to be Amara's 2nd, 3rd and 4th doppelgänger respectively, it is a possibility that they might be the 9th, 10th, and 11th doppelgängers of Amara, since it has been implied by Qetsiyah, that there have been many shadows of Amara that have been born century after century before Tatia, Katherine and Elena. It is also a possibility that the 500 year span for every Petrova doppelgänger to be born theory could prove to actually be untrue.
- A person and his or her doppelgänger will look identical in appearance, but the differences stem from their rearing and community standards (such as their expressions, speech, reason, and connections with others).
- According to some myths, doppelgängers tend to undo the lives of each other. Tatia was used to create Originals but her doppelgängers have influenced the deaths of all three deceased Originals.
- Now that Stefan has been revealed to be a doppelgänger of Silas, in retrospect, it seems more than just a mere coincidence that Stefan too influenced the deaths of the three originals.
- Stefan intervened when Damon tried to take a shot at Klaus which led to the death of Mikael.
- Stefan took the first shot at Finn and was disarmed immediately by Sage. In his process of recovering the stake, Elena shot Finn with the crossbow.
- Stefan spent an entire evening trying to obtain the dagger from Rebekah which, at the very least kept her at bay, while Elena and Jeremy went about killing Kol.
- On more than one occasion, Katherine has actively harmed her doppelgänger Elena. Silas made his doppelgänger, Stefan, suffer for a whole summer by stabbing him, locking him in a safe and throwing the safe off a cliff into the water under a quarry, where Stefan would drown repeatedly and die over and over for three months.
- The very danger, of being prematurely undone by his doppelgänger, is probably why Silas locked Stefan in the safe and left him to drown repeatedly - he might have wanted to keep Stefan out of the way for as long as he remains immortal. As it turns out, Stefan's release from the safe allowed Qetsiyah to neutralise Silas' mental powers.
- The term "Petrova Doppelgänger" comes from the last name of Katherine Petrova, the third doppelgänger of Amara. It is a term used by those who strived to find Katherine's doppelgänger and once discovered, directly referred only to Elena.
- Qetsiyah has said that the Silas' and Amara's doppelgängers have been finding each other and falling in love century after century. This could possibly imply that before the 10th century, when Tatia, the second doppelgänger of Amara, was used by Esther to make the Mikaelson family vampires and was also used to suppress Klaus' werewolf side, there were possibly Petrova doppelgängers being born every century or every few centuries, since Qetsiyah said that they fall in love century after century, not every 500 years.
- It is uncertain whether or not the doppelgängers of Silas are born every 500 years like the last three doppelgängers of Amara have. It is also uncertain if Petrova doppelgängers being born every 500 years theory is actually true.
- It is possible that the doppelgängers are finding each other and falling in love on The Other Side. Doppelgängers are known to be supernatural beings and hence, would go to The Other Side when they die. This could possibly be what Qetsiyah meant when she said she has watched versions of Silas and Amara find each other and fall in love century after century. She has been watching them find each other and fall in love on The Other Side.
- Even if Elena had children, there is possibility that the doppelgänger line would no longer be active since Amara, the progenitor of the Petrova Doppelgänger bloodline, is now deceased.
- Doppelgängers can be born or the doppelgänger "gene" can be passed down the bloodline without the doppelgänger himself/herself having children or a direct bloodline due to having children. For example, Silas and Amara, the progenitors of the Salvatore and Petrova Doppelgänger bloodlines respectively, were assumed to not have had any children before they became truly immortal. Therefore, it is very likely that they had a sibling(s) which would have passed down the doppelgänger "gene" through Silas and Amara's respective bloodlines. So doppelgängers do not need to have children in order for the doppelgänger "gene" to be passed down the bloodline as in the case of Silas and Amara, whom were the progenitors. It should be noted that all of the known Petrova doppelgängers (i.e. Tatia and Katherine) with the exception of Elena due to becoming a vampire, have had children. It could be assumed that Silas' doppelgängers all had children as well, with the exception of Stefan, since he became a vampire and therefore, could not reproduce.
- The two known doppelgänger lines are, both, the result of the Immortality Spell being cast. It is possible that other spells (such as the Hybrid Curse initially) may also produce doppelgängers depending on their nature.
- Doppelgänger blood seems to be of special interest or importance to The Travellers, a subculture of witches. What The Travellers interest is in the blood of doppelgängers remains to be unknown.
- As of fifth season of The Vampire Diaries, both Amara and Silas had become mortal and died. Theoretically, being cured of immortality and their deaths means the end of their doppelgänger lines, as nature would no longer require their shadow selves to die in their places.
- Since Tom Avery was born in the 20th century chances are is that he was meant for Elena, had she not met Stefan. If the prophecy holds truth than that means that Stefan may have never been meant to meet neither Katherine or Elena or fall in love with them. Katherine may have had another SIlas Doppelganger for herself and Stefan would have had a Petrova Doppelganger for himself, while Elena had Tom. If of course the prophecy means two doppelganger being born in the same century fall in love with each other or that depending on who meets who first.

These are the general guidelines that need to be followed before a domain name can be transferred:
1. Domain privacy services need to be disabled.
2. Verify that your administrative email address in the domain registration record is accurate.
3. Your domain needs to be unlocked.
4. Acquire your domain's transfer authorization code (also referred to as an EPP or auth code) from the current registration service provider.
If your domain is registered with any of the registration service providers below, click on its link for step-by-step tutorials:
Domain transfers will be outright rejected if:
Once your domain name has been prepared for transfer, you can initiate the transfer using the steps outlined below.
how long does a transfer normally take? and if there's a problem (eg typo in the auth code) how quickly does that get flagged for action?
Domain transfers can take 5-7 days to complete from start to finish. The losing registrar has a 5 day hold period to give them time to verify that the transfer out request is legitimate.
Can I transfer a domain to Hover even if you do not offer the top level domain for sale (i.e. a .lt domain)?
@Jeff - We are only able to support the transfer in of top-level domains listed on our pricing website here: https://www.hover.com/pricing
Other top-level domains cannot be managed through Hover.com at this time.
During the 5 day hold mentioned before, does the DNS settings from the old registrar still work?
For example, I eventually want to transfer one of my other domains but it's the one I use for email. If the domain is 'offline' for a day or twobecause of the transfer, I can deal with that. But not if it's for 5-7 days.
Hi Todd. Typically any DNS settings at the losing registrar will work while transfers are pending. Most registrars will shut off their DNS services for the domain name once a transfer out is completed. If you are using your old registrar's DNS, you'll need to add your custom DNS records in Hover and then change your name servers to ns1.hover.com and ns2.hover.com. If your domain is pointed at the name servers of a third party web host, you don't need to do this. Your web host's DNS will be unaffected by a transfer.
We have tutorials on creating custom DNS records and changing name servers at these URLs:
Custom DNS records: http://help.hover.com/entries/21204757-how-to-edit-dns-records-a-cn...
Change name servers: http://help.hover.com/entries/21206438-how-to-change-your-domain-na...
Tyson, could you clarify one detail on that last point, not on A, CNAME, MX and the like, but the NS records. Say I have example.com hosted at OtherRegistrar, and the NS records are configured at OtherRegistrar to a third-party DNS service, say Amazon's Route53. When Hover transfers in the domain, will the existing NS records specifying Route53 be preserved? Or will I need to re-configure the NS records once transferred, with a possible service gap. I've started transferring some currently idle domains from OtherRegistrar, but would like clarity on this detail before hoisting over my live domains.
Hi John - it might help for to contact us with your domain name to triple check. If your root domain name is pointed at third party's name servers, that will carry over to Hover. If you're talking about NS records for subdomain host names, like blog.domainname.com, that's a feature Hover DNS does not support right now.
Just the root domain. Thanks Tyson!
Hi John - if you have your root domain name pointed at third party name servers, like ns1.webhost.com and ns2.webhost.com, then those settings will follow you when you transfer to Hover. The DNS tab in Hover only affects records on our name servers - ns1.hover.com and ns2.hover.com.
I think I'm missing something... the tutorial says that it is going to show me how to get the EPP code, but I don't see where that is. Thanks
Hi Kendrick - Sorry for any confusion. This tutorial provides generic instructions. The steps to get your transfer authorization code depend on who your current registrar is. Each will have a different interface and the steps to get the EPP code (aka auth code) will vary. We have specific steps for GoDaddy, Network Solutions, and 1 and 1 at these links:
If your domain is registered somewhere else and you get lost looking for the EPP code, please give us a call or send us an email so we can help. Our customer advisors have had a lot of experience working with different registrars and can get you pointed in the right direction.
How can I transfer a domain from one Hover account to another?
Hi Focal - Our customer advisors can transfer domain names between accounts for you. I've opened a support ticket for you so we can help.
Hi Edwin - this may be a case where it would help if you sent us an email with your authorization code, or gave us a phone call to help. Sometimes registrars don't have an authorization code in sync with the domain registry and asking your registrar to create a different authorization code forces this to be resolved. If that's not the case, we'll need to check things on our end for you.
I am trying to transfer a domain and once the checks are completed and Hover confirms eligibility I find that the add to cart button doesn't work (see attachment). Is there something that I'm missing?
Best Regards
Hi Richard - You're not missing anything. Our mistake. There was a slight problem this morning with the website and it was causing people to not be able to add items to the shopping cart. This should be all resolved now if you wanted to try it again. Let us know if you are not able to do it a second time.
Hi, we use Google Apps for email on our domain, which require several custom MX records. Since the transfer takes 5-7 days, can we setup the MX records on hover ahead of time so when the transfer completes, the new settings automatically take effect? Trying to minimize potential downtime.
Hi Mark - we can certainly do this for you. That's what we do as part of the valet transfer process. We would be able to have all this set up for you on our servers ahead of the transfer, change your name servers to ours and then transfer the domain. This way, you are already using our name servers for DNS management before the transfer is started.
Send us an email, email@example.com, with your details and we'll get started on this for you.
What does it mean when a domain is "eligible for transfer", but in the checklist it says "Admin email cannot be retrieved from" the losing registrar? The whois records for the domain include valid email addresses for all contacts.
One cause of that could be the losing Registrar having the email address saved with certain characters around it in such a way that it confuses our system. I'm going to send you a quick email shortly to discuss this though.
Christopher, I'll send you an email as well.
For anybody else reading this, if one ever gets this error, it's best to either email us a help request or give us a phone call so we can help out with the transfer.
Let me know if I can transfer a domain from Mexico to hover.com.
No, we don't currently support .mx domains. You can see the complete list of supported types of domains at: https://help.hover.com/entries/21181682-supported-top-level-domains...
I found the list of supported TLDs - can all these TLDs also be transferred to Hover, or does the list only refer to TLDs that can be newly registered?
Both, Yvonne.
Although, to add to that, .PLC.UK and .LTD.UK domain names must be registered with Nominet directly, although they can be transferred to Hover later.
When I did the transfer on hover's end it said the domain was "unlocked" but when I did the transfer it said "transfer failed click here to restart". I checked the hosting site and it was infact locked even know hover said it was unlocked. Now I have two charges from hover for the same transfer. Will one of these charges drop off?
Hi Justin,
When our system checks the lock status of a domain the results are accurate. Some places may lock your domain automatically when you request your auth code, or make changes to the contact information, this might have been why you noticed it locked when you checked back after the transfer failed. If it was in fact locked, you wouldn't have been able to continue on with the transfer process on our website. It might also have been due to the failed transfer, they might have locked the domain again as a preventative measure to prevent an unauthorized transfer.
Either way, looks like you were able to get it to complete the second time. We only process charges when the transfer is successfully completed. The first attempt to transfer failed so the auth was cancelled and no funds were captured. You should see the auth for those funds returned to you by your bank within 3-5 business days.
We only captured funds on the second order.
Have a nice day, and please let us know if you need a hand with anything else.
How can I transfer a domain from one Hover account to another Hover account?
Hey Carlos, that's a process that is handled on our end. Just shoot us an email and we'll be happy to help you out.

Guatemalans protest over extractive industries
Thousands of indigenous Guatemalans took to the streets in July to demonstrate against a new mining law and a cement company threatening to damage rural communities.
Nearly 15,000 indigenous Guatemalans began a march this week to the country's capital and blockaded roads to demand the suspension of a new mining law, a law they say will be extremely damaging to rural communities.
The indigenous community had previously held consultations where the population expressed their rejection to mining extraction projects, and the new mining law would render these agreements void.
Furthermore, the community of San Juan Sacatepéquez is calling on cement company Holcim-Cementos Progreso to leave their territories. The company aims to install a plant that would start operating in 2012.
Members of the Friends of the Earth Guatemala/CEIBA said the residents that would be affected by the Holcim-Cementos Progreso project are mainly craftspeople and flower harvesters.
They claim that the cement company's plans to "mitigate" the environmental impacts including reforestation with eucalyptus, something that would have even more serious consequences on the water sources.
call to suspend mining licenses
Real World Radio interviewed Alfonso Morales, leader of the Maya Mam organization in Huehuetenango, on the north west border with Mexico. His organization and others calling for an immediate suspension of mining licenses, and for the approval of the Integral Rural Development Law, which promotes the local and peasant economy.
"Thousands of indigenous people have taken to the streets to defend the 25 mining consultations carried out in Huehuetenango", said Morales. He also expressed concern about the criminalization of local leaders in the area as a result of their outspokenness.
Former presidential candidate and human rights advocate, Rigoberta Menchu, is warning about the possibility that the country's most powerful sectors might orchestrate a coup d'état against President Alvaro Colom due to the current climate of social agitation.
See the photos of the demonstrations here

SPARKS — An animal's dental health is much more than a cosmetic issue. Poor oral hygiene can lead to serious and costly disease in your pet. With February being National Veterinary Dental Health Month, Pyramid Veterinary Hospital is working to educate the community on how to improve pets' dental health and avoid costly veterinary bills.
"Most of us brush our teeth on a regular basis, but most pets, if they are lucky, might only get their teeth brushed once a year," said Dr. Cal Williams, owner of Pyramid Veterinary Hospital. "In fact, 85 percent of all adult pets over 4 years of age have some form of periodontal disease."
Periodontal disease is an infection between the tooth and the gum. Symptoms include discolored teeth, increased pawing at the mouth and bad breath. The tartar that builds on the teeth can cause gingivitis, infections and bacteria to enter into the bloodstream, affecting major organs such as the heart, lungs, kidneys and liver. Typical treatment includes x-rays and, if necessary, a tooth extraction, which requires anesthesia.
The good news is that it is easily preventable.
"Ideally it is best to introduce teeth brushing to your pet when they are young, however you can still introduce brushing at any age," Williams said.
Dr. Williams gives pet owners the following easy at-home tips:
• Start by gently holding your pet's head and lifting his/her lips. This will get them used to you just being in their mouth. This can take a few hours to a few weeks depending on your pet's temperament.
• Put a pet-approved toothpaste on your fingers and use it as a treat. Pyramid Veterinary Hospital recommends CET Dentifice, available at most veterinary hospitals.
• Once they are used to the taste and texture (which most pets love), start rubbing your fingers on the outside of their teeth.
• After a couple of weeks, add a finger brush. A finger brush slides over your index finger and has little bristles that help brush your pet's teeth.
Be careful, go slow and use caution to make sure your pet does not bite you. This should be enjoyable for both you and your pet.
"Even though brushing your pet's teeth will help with tartar control, it does not replace professional cleanings, but it can avoid hefty veterinary bills in the future," Williams said.
Never use human toothpaste as it can irritate your animal's stomach; never use fluoride on pets 6 months or younger; and chew toys can always help reduce soft tartar and strengthen teeth.

Out of the mouths of our students come questions that are on their mind, there must be a direct connection between "think it" and "say it". What are your students asking? Did you find your response in a Thinkfinity Resource? If so, share the answer too. If not, perhaps some member of the community can point you to an answer.
As students return to school on Monday with more awareness of what happened last Friday morning after a massive earthquake and subsequent tsunami hit the northeast coast of Japan, here are some resources teachers may want to share.
First, the BBC has a short video featuring seismologist Dr. Roger Musson explaining how the tsunami was triggered.
CNN has a good graphic that shows how long it would take tsunami waves to reach various points in the Pacific Ocean.
Both Reuters and CNN have slideshows that are still being updated with new images from the earthquake and tsunami.
Boston.com has a set of 43 powerful images of the earthquake, tsunami, and their effects. (Note: It may take a few minutes for the images to load, but they are unbelievable pictures.)
The video from Reuters shows how powerful tsunami waves are.
Here's a great resource that I received from my Twitter feed today. I've shared it with my district and wanted t do the same here.
I found a few more interactive maps and images about the Japanese earthquake from The New York Times which has more videos on their website Monday, March 14.
Thanks for posting these links.
Here is another phenomenal, interactive graphics display of Satellite Photos of Japan, Before and After the Quake and Tsunami from The New York Times.
Wonderopolis developed a special Wonder of the Day in response to the tragedy in Japan:
Wonder of the Day #160: What Is a Tsunami?
It offers some scientific perspective on tsunamis, along with links to some helpful resources from NCFL for discussing disasters with children.

Contact: ATLANTA REGIONAL OFFICE
Mr. George Grandy Jr., Director
101 Marietta St., NW, Ste 3200
Atlanta, GA 30303-2700
Telephone: 404-730-3832
ATLANTA — During the week of Aug. 16, 2009, nearly 2,000 Census Bureau field representatives will interview about 72,000 households across the nation for the monthly Current Population Survey (CPS).
The CPS is co-sponsored by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Census Bureau.
Before the survey, households selected in the nationwide sample will receive an informational letter from the Census Bureau director. Some participants are interviewed by telephone and others are interviewed in person by field representatives who carry official identification.
Every month, Census Bureau field representatives ask selected households questions relevant to the U.S. labor force, such as their employment status, hours worked, earnings, age, sex, race, marital status, educational attainment, occupation and industry. From these answers come estimates of the unemployment rate released monthly by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
"The monthly CPS is the primary source of information for state and local governments, and businesses regarding the country's labor force," said George Grandy Jr, director of the Census Bureau's Atlanta Regional Office."
The Census Bureau's monthly Current Population Survey -- which dates from 1942 -- is the longest-running household survey in the country. More information about this survey can be found at <http://www.census.gov/cps/>.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average stood below the key 15,000 level before the opening bell Thursday and U.S. stock futures pointed to a lower start following the 6.4 percent plunge overnight in the Nikkei that put the Japanese stock index in bear market territory again.
(Read More: Nikkei Plunges 6.4%; Re-Enters Bear Market)
The dollar slid to its lowest level against the Japanese yen in 10 weeks in Tokyo trading amid uncertainty about when the Federal Reserve might start scaling back its $85 billion a month bond-buying program. Fed policymakers meet next week and investors are hoping for some answers.
The Dow had another volatile session on Wednesday—up 119 points shortly after the open, but closed down triple-digits for the second-straight session and lower for the third day in a row for the first time this year.
On CNBC's "Squawk Box" on Thursday, leading market watchers and economists gave their predictions for where the markets may go from here and the possible timing of the start of Fed tapering.
Howard Ward, chief investment officer of growth equities at Gamco Investors:
"People are overly focused on what's happening in Asia right now when the story is what's happening right here in the U.S. economy."
While the economy is in a slow quarter due to the fiscal drag of "the sequester," Ward continued, growth is going to begin to accelerate for the rest of the year.
"There are a lot of good things here in the U.S., earnings revisions just turned positive in May for the first time in 11 months; the continuing initial unemployment claims are at the lowest level they've been since 2008, … inflation is very low [and] that supports high multiples on stocks."
"The lost decade for bonds has begun. … Money needs to be continuing to move out of cash and into stocks, and out of fixed-income into stocks" for baby boomers to fund their retirement, he said.
Doug Duncan, chief economist at Fannie Mae:
"We have [the Fed taper] in our forecast at the beginning of next year. Forwards are saying September, but we don't think that'll happen until probably the beginning of 2014."
"[The] biggest problem the Fed has is they've taken all the volatility … out of the market. That's got to come back in. They're going to be working hard to prevent that from happening in the very short term. … I think it's going to be a rough ride for investors in the near term."
Peter Bain, president and CEO of Old Mutual Asset Management:
"I'm reasonably bullish" that the private sector can pick up for the Fed when it starts pulling back, Bain said. "Core underlying economic growth remains stable. For me, maybe I have low standards, for me stable is 2 percent-plus. … You will see large corporate cash deploy itself into the economy to grow."
"The pullback in the emerging markets from our perspective is more rooted in a concern about, honestly, China. … I think it's pretty clear, there [will be] no hard landing in China. Ultimately, I think emerging markets therefore will stabilize from here. It would help enormously here [in the U.S.]."
Boris Schlossberg, managing director at BK Asset Management:
Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan's warning last Friday on "Squawk Box" that the market may force the central bank's hand "is kind of prescient," Schlossberg said.
(Read More: Greenspan: Taper Now, Even If Economy Isn't Ready)
Before Friday's 175,000 nonfarm payroll growth number, he continued, "a lot of the data was starting to wobble. For right now, from a fundamental point of view when you are looking at U.S. economic data, there is a big question mark as to how exactly strong the U.S. economy is."

Thank you! I'll be testing it soon. Just free'd the PS3!!!
Thank you! I'll be testing it soon. Just free'd the PS3!!!
after i restart the ps3 after it says reset ps3 the free store shows up on the xmb and whebn it says install it says no files found to install or something like that. I'm using backbox 1.2 ive tried gaia ftp and the first ftp app still all the same results.
I am trying to use FreeStore 1.0.3 to install homebrew. After a few attempts I have sorted out some issues I was having (installed BlackB0x FTP server instead of using the FTP in Open Manager 2.1G). So now I have an icon for Snes9x (for some reason it has the FreeStore logo instead of the Snes9x one, but that's ok with me), but when I try to launch it all it says is "No installable packages" (or something like that). What am I doing wrong?
On the PC side of things, the FreeStore program tells me that there is an update to the program. But when I say to update it just opens a progress bar and then nothing. It doesn't say a % done or say anything about success or failures. I know that I can install these things via a USB drive, but I like the idea of being able to update my HB with the FTP.
Last edited by harveychan; 11-01-2010 at 10:52 PM Reason: Automerged Doublepost
Online version of FreeStore released. Simply navigate to freestore-ps3.com to download and install the latest homebrew without restarting your PS3. (USB Drive Needed)
I have also made an update to the FreeStore PC app but it's currently needing a big re-write to deal with the USB method. As soon as everything is stable, I'll post the update here.

"Imagine returning from a successful hunting trip . . . only to find out that you've been subpoenaed for killing your prize," one online commentator railed. "Who knows, maybe Sunstein would have the family of the dead animal serving as witnesses in court!" Holds were placed on Sunstein's nomination by two Republican senators, other distortions of his writings were offered, and, finally, Fox News's Glenn Beck got into the act, exhorting, in a Twitter message to his supporters, "FIND EVERYTHING YOU CAN ON CASS SUNSTEIN." (In an interesting twist on group polarization, some liberal bloggers, who had initially not been keen on Sunstein's nomination, decided at this point that it must be O.K.; as one of them put it, "If Glenn Beck and the other loons are against him, how bad could he be?")
The Web is certainly a transformative technology, just as TV and radio and newspapers once were. There's a temptation, as a result, to confuse the medium with the message, to assume that, because the Internet is being used to produce a certain political effect, it was somehow destined to do so. This account is, in the end, too easy on us (or at least on them). To borrow that old favorite of the right: computers don't spread rumors; people do. ♦

This press release is an announcement submitted by Nova Biomedical Diabetes Care, and was not written by Diabetes Health.
If you use Nova Max® blood glucose test strips or the Nova Max® PlusTM blood glucose monitoring system, this is to notify you that Nova Biomedical Diabetes Care (Nova Diabetes Care) is voluntarily recalling and replacing the indicated Nova Max glucose test strip lot numbers and unused Nova Max Plus glucose meter kits listed at www.novacares.com/news/additional-details-usa.php.
We have recently determined that some of the blood glucose test strips contained within the Nova Max glucose test strip lots listed in the link above may report a false, abnormally high blood glucose result. A false, abnormally high blood glucose result could, under certain conditions, lead to an insulin dosing error that could create a serious health risk requiring immediate medical attention. Nova Diabetes Care has decided to replace the Nova Max glucose test strips and Nova Max Plus glucose meter kits listed in the link above at no charge.
There are no other Nova Diabetes Care products or lot numbers impacted by this recall.
People with diabetes should immediately discontinue use of Nova Max glucose test strips from the indicated lot numbers. To receive replacement product at no charge, please follow the steps below:
Call Nova Diabetes Care Customer Service at 1-800-681-7390 to verify the Lot # for your Nova Max glucose test strips and Nova Max Plus Glucose Meter Kit, and confirm your mailing address so that we may ship you replacement product.
Please print and keep this notice with your Owner's Booklet. You may continue to test your blood glucose with your current blood glucose meter(s) using any other Nova Max glucose test strip lot not indicated as part of this recall while you wait for your replacement product to arrive.
While you wait for your replacement product to arrive, do not stop testing your blood glucose. In the event that you must use affected test strips from the lots indicated in the link above, Nova Diabetes Care recommends that you take the following precautions:
1) As stated in your Blood Glucose Monitor Owners Guide and Nova Max Glucose Test Strip Product Insert, perform a quality control solution test to confirm that your vial of Nova Max glucose test strips is working correctly. Do not use a test strip vial if control solution results are not within the expected range.
2) Verify all elevated blood glucose test results that are not consistent with your diabetes history by repeating the test using a new blood glucose test strip from a different vial (if available) or the same vial (if a new vial is unavailable).
3) Contact your healthcare provider immediately if your reported blood glucose result(s) are not consistent with your diabetes history, how you feel, or if you think your results are not accurate (higher than expected).
4) Never ignore symptoms or make significant changes to your diabetes management program without speaking to your health care professional.
People with diabetes should be aware of symptoms of high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) and low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Contact your healthcare professional for advice on how to treat the symptoms noted below.
• Symptoms of high blood sugar include excessive thirst, excessive urination, blurred vision, weakness, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.
• Symptoms of low blood sugar include trembling, excessive sweating, weakness, hunger, confusion, and headache. Some individuals may experience no symptoms before experiencing unconsciousness or seizures. It is important to treat low blood sugars promptly to avoid loss of consciousness or seizure.

In a development reminiscent of previous health problems that have curtailed Riccardo Muti's conducting engagements in the city, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra music director has come down with a case of the flu that has forced him to withdraw from this week's CSO subscription concerts at Symphony Center.
Muti, 71, arrived in town Monday afternoon on a flight from Rome, less than a day ahead of the orchestra's first rehearsal of the new year Tuesday morning. But upon arrival he told CSO Association President Deborah Rutter he felt unwell and wouldn't be able to direct the scheduled concerts Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday nights, Friday afternoon, and the night of Jan. 15. This was to have been the first week of the maestro's two-week winter engagement here.
Directing the all-Beethoven program in his stead will be Dutch conductor Edo de Waart, music director of the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra and an artistic partner with the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra. The subscription program will remain unchanged, with Romanian pianist Radu Lupu playing Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 1 in all but Wednesday's Afterwork Masterworks concert.
A CSO spokeswoman, Rachelle Roe, said it's too early to tell whether Muti will be able to conduct his scheduled concerts Jan. 17-19, or a scheduled open rehearsal with area high school musicians and members of the Civic Orchestra next Monday. But she sounded optimistic. "As far as next week goes, we're not expecting a change," she said. "We're not going to make a change for next week unless we need to."
Muti is scheduled to lead the orchestra on its first joint tour of the Far East Jan. 25-Feb. 7, and the January subscription weeks are given over, in part, to preparing repertory for that tour. Roe said time had been allotted in the tour schedule to rehearse the music, whether or not Muti is able to prepare and conduct tour repertory this month in Chicago.
"Those are some questions we still need to work out with the schedule," she said. "They may adjust the rehearsal schedule on tour to accommodate (Muti's requirements)."
Muti's contracting the flu bug is a relatively minor health setback compared to what he has suffered over the last few years. He missed the bulk of his fall CSO residency at the start of his first season as music director, 2010-11, because of what his doctors later diagnosed as extreme exhaustion brought on by prolonged physical stress.
Early in February 2011, he fell from the podium at a CSO rehearsal, suffering facial and jaw fractures. He was able to resume his duties here later that month after doctors at Northwestern Memorial Hospital repaired the fractures and installed a pacemaker. Muti had been hale and vigorous throughout his fall CSO residency here as well as on a subsequent tour to New York City and Mexico that brought him and the orchestra new successes together.

moe and wilson, please feel free to offer ur valuable insight on this topic.
-Love HH
(my general reaction to this thread)
It started with Earl [Watson], Randy [Foye] and Marvin [Williams]the veteran guys. I thought the young guys did a good job of following their lead getting us off to a good start. - referring to the Jazz/Bobcats game on 3/1/13
Earl, Randy, and Marvin started the first quarter 0-3, scored a whopping zero points, and finished with a turnover in the first quarter.
Your head coach of the Jazz ladies and gentlemen.
If there's any element of being serious in this thread ..
Just be comfortable, allow yourself and her to have fun, be silly, laugh, have a blast .. I've always found that uncontrollable laughter and having good fun leads to other places .. especially if not contrived and wholly intended to arrive there.
Best advice: Don't try so hard, be real..

The confusion...

Maine: A close-up of the state's ship-saving lighthouses
Maine's lighthouses, built to guide ships along the state's craggy coast and keep them from harm, are sometimes referred to as the saviors of the seacoast. The first lighthouse was built in 1794, and more than 200 years later 65 of them remain, though many have been modified and upgraded over the years. Some are square, some are round, many are on tough-to-get-to cliffs on islands, but all have become part of Maine's architectural and maritime history. Twenty-two lighthouses from around the state will open to the public free from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday for the annual Open Lighthouse Day. If you can't make it, don't worry. These beauties aren't going anywhere, and many welcome visitors at other times of the year too. Here's a look at some of Maine's lighthouses.
-- Mary Forgione

Maine's lighthouses
There are several lighthouses easily found in and near Portland, Maine's biggest city. The Portland Breakwater Lighthouse, shown here, was built in 1875. It's nicknamed the "Bug Light" because of its small size. It is in Bug Light Park in South Portland.
