Sons of Anarchy Season 5 "Darthy" Review – I don't see the end…| November 28, 2012 at 12:55 PM EST
With only one more episode left, I was mentally prepared to be pretty devastated by whatever happened in this week's Sons of Anarchy. Somehow, I still wasn't prepared for what "Darthy" brought.
Click on through to see what I thought of the episode.
Ok, readers, I'm going to be honest with you. This was probably one of the most frustrating and devastating episodes to watch. Ever. Yes – all the deaths and kidnappings and beatings of the past 5 seasons were tough. But what happened at the end… well, that was awful.
So, here's the very brief recap of what happened. Bobby (Mark Boone Junior) made a deal that Clay (Ron Perlman) would get taken to the table for a vote after he tells his story about the Nomads. He does, they unanimously vote to take his patch but Bobby is the sole vote no on killing him. Jax (Charlie Hunnam) is pissed but Bobby says it was just to keep Jax from turning into Clay. The Cartel's deal with the Chinese to run guns is put on hold because it's going to take the Chinese about 3 months for their first shipment, so Romeo (Danny Trejo) tells Jax they need to work with Galen (Timothy V. Murphy) and the IRA at least once more after that day's deal. And even though Jax talks to Galen, they work it out, the Cartel shows up, shoots a bunch of people and crates of guns and ruins it all. Jax is rightfully annoyed and Galen vows vengeance on the Sons because… I don't really know. He can be a bit testy. Clay decides he is going to be an independent now and do all the crap the Sons won't do, like work with the Irish. He also plans on running away with Gemma (Katey Sagal) who seems to be in love with both Clay and Nero (Jimmy Smits) nowadays.
Tara testifies about Otto and the nurse, and the nurses brother, Lee Toric, (I knew that's why it was Donal Logue!), an ex-Marshall, threatens her. Tara (Maggie Siff) also starts to worry about what would happen to the boys if she and Jax both can't take care of them, so she calls Wendy (Drea de Matteo). Unfortunately for Wendy, the Irish see her with Jax and Abel and kidnap her where she learns all about Abel's trip to Belfast. She then tells Jax and Tara she is suing for custody because they are awful. So Jax goes to Wendy's and then shoots her up with heroine so she will be a junkie again and not an issue for him.
So…. there's the episode in a nutshell. Now how I feel about it. Awful. That's how I feel. Let's see…. where to start. How about Nero? He's this man who seems to just be so gentle, but with a dark past, who thanks to dealing with the Sons is now falling back in with the ghosts of that past. He is going to lose everything, including one could assume, his life. He gave up half a million to save Wendy (just to have Jax ruin her anyway) and now he is back in the game for good. Without that money there is no out for Nero.
Clay is just a mess. For a brief moment I almost felt bad for the guy. Yes, he is the villain (though it is getting harder and harder to tell what constitutes a villain on this series) so I shouldn't feel bad. But the club was his life. It is all he knows and understands and it is being taken away from him. Granted, it's because of his own actions, which is why you can only feel so bad. But still, it's gone and now he is left to scramble and figure out what that means. It's depressing. And it's also going to be dangerous for the club. I get Bobby's good intentions, but why did he think having the club not sanction the kill was going to make Jax any less like Clay? Isn't it just going to force him to be MORE like him and kill Clay behind the club's back like Clay did with JT? It wasn't Bobby's best piece of logic. And it backfired even further with Jax not trusting him now. It's just bad.
As for Wendy… I'm frankly Team Wendy here. And when I'm Team Wendy you know that things have really gone to hell in a hand basket because she is awful. But everything she said to Jax and Tara was completely warranted. Their life is endless storm of danger and craziness. Kidnappings, killings, people being sent to prison. Jax and Tara love those boys, but if they keep going in the direction they are going, there is nothing keeping them safe. Jax seems to constantly move farther and farther away from getting out. Something that isn't surprising or necessarily wrong – it just isn't great if he wants to keep up this front as a family man. Look at Opie's kids. They now live with a porn star that is their ex-step mom. And Opie had actually gotten out! If only temporarily.
But what Jax did at the end – it's unspeakably horrific. I don't care what Wendy has done to him or threatened to do. She, at this point, was safe. He not only ruined her life, he potentially ruined his children's. It crossed a line that I just didn't imagine Jax ever crossing. He talked at the start of the episode of wanting to become the man JT wrote of becoming – but that is almost not even an option any more. He is lost in a world of increasing darkness and just keeps drowning everyone around him as he tries to pull himself out. In the end – they all just sink.
While I haven't always loved Jax's life choices over the seasons (naturally – it's normal to make bad decisions and it makes for more compelling characters) I've never been so angry at him. While I love this show forever, I've, maybe naively, have always wanted to at least love Jax. He's our hero. He's our guide through this messy world. But now he's done something that is just… wrong. Worse than killing her, frankly.
I'm glad next week is the finale. I don't think I could take much more! This show is fascinating like almost no other show on television and is acted at a level that is remarkable. But I am seeking therapy for watching it.
What do you expect to see in the finale? Will Tig (Kim Coates) make it out alive? Is this the end of Nero? Pope (Harold Perrineau)? What about Lee?

I'm sorry, but I don't agree with most of your review, first it kinda seems like you aren't watching the same show, it was only last week, Jax put together a genius plan to get out of the hardcore deal between the Cartel/CIA, handing over the drugs to the Mayans, and guns to the Chinese. If you ask me that's a big step into pulling out, not going deeper. Wendy is nothing but bad news, and always will be, she's the one who gave Jax n Tara her child, while she was too messed up on drugs to deal with it, Jax n Tara were the ones who were there for Abel. Wendy indeed has a human right for being upset, but for her to sue them is wrong, Jax n Tara are doing their best for those kids, regardless of what happened, it wasn't their fault for Abel's kidnapping, it was Gemma's obsessed with Ethan's daughter n killing her, and June Stahl for lying about the murder. I don't see your logic in backing up Wendy, so for as Jax's choice to protect what he built when Wendy couldn't even take care of her ownself n now wants to ruin it for Jax, I am soooo happy Jax did that to her, she deserved it. Killing her would've been sweeter. She ungrateful, they could've the IRA take her n kill her, but no they put 500k down to save her, n she thanks them by suing them? HA!.
This was in fact one of the best episodes to date. I'm sorry you disagree, tho I see you feeling bad for Clay, something he only set him self up for. Hey, he was only using the club for his own personal gain, he was killing brothers for no good reason only for his own protection, he doesn't know the word "Family" actually means, the only thing he knew was how to screw over the people that trusted him, if you can feel one ounce of 'sorry' for this animal, then you shouldn't be writing about it. I understand you're a fan just like the rest of us, but we come here for the show, not for one person opinion about the show, I was expecting some legit reviews n thoughts about the show, not someone else opinion. For you being happy it's the last episode, that's another no no, I for one wish it wasn't, and I definitely do not need to seek therapy, if that's the case you need to find a show that fits more in the rainbow area.
Jax is not sinking everyone around him, he is only freeing them from danger, I have no idea where you think he is, Wendy is not safe. Wendy threatening Jax is proof of it, you want to be safe? you don't mess with the President of SAMCRO or his family. I loved what Jax did to her, best thing ever. Shes a Junkie, always will be, he was only keeping her true to herself. All ex junkies go back to the life they once knew, it's a given. She was NOT safe. Anti-Team Wendy here. Infact I don't even see a 'Team' Wendy lol.
Though, I do agree with you about Bobby, Bobby is really messing things up with Jax, I don't see how Jax killing Clay is "Turning into Clay" First off, Clay did all his killing for his own personal benefits, Jax is doing it for the revenge of his father, and brothers. There is no logic behind that term whatsoever. I for one think he will have Eli take him out, but will have to wait for that, or if Kurt has something in store for us, n Eli does kill Clay before he leaves for Ireland. Tig n Pope…that is a toughy, I think this will be a season 3 ending, Jax n Tig stage this for it to look like Jax is really turning over Tig to Pope, and Jax has Tig take out Pope, keeping his name clean, and getting his revenge finally for Opie, as next weeks episode is called "J'ai Obtenu Cette" in french for "I Got This" same words Opie said before his death. A lot happens next week, I for one cannot wait!!, Though I do NOT want it to end, unlike this writer who can't keep her s*** together.
Overall, Jax is the best leader SAMCRO has ever had, his logical thinking, his remorse for those who are innocent, and most importantly killing those who are not. Lets remind you for a minute here Melissa Miller that; this is a biker OUTLAW show, things will get bloody, this is not a civil world, ANARCHY, Research the word, Their logo is a REAPER, their way of life is Mayhem. Come on now, you seem to forget what this show is really all about, you are too focused on the outside life of SAMCRO, if you want to be a fan you have to start realizing the facts of the show, Jax is doing EVERYTHING right, he is not turning into Clay by no means, he isn't out there killing people for his own benefit to the club, he isn't doping up his ex for no good reason, Wendy was never there, n she only was there when she thought she could take advantage of them, doesn't sound so safe to me now does it?, Though we do agree about Bobby, but most of your review was inaccurate. I give this review 1/10, very poor logic of the show or its history. Try swinging more toward the shows way than outside of it, you might have yourself a legit review, for this review it's S***.
Seriously? I question your morals as a human being to think what Jax did to Wendy was okay. I'm on Team Jax but he crossed a line and it'll only lead to more guilt and trouble for the man.
I don't watch SOA but I read this review anyway. What happened to the character of Wendy is really sad.
I do like what Melissa wrote about what creates compelling characters. Stuff that happened on a show I watch upset me tonight… but I have to remember that at least it allows for plot and character development…

NEW YORK (AP) - An ailing, endangered finback whale has been found washed ashore in a coastal enclave of Queens that was hard hit by Superstorm Sandy.
Emergency workers and marine biologists responded to a report of a 60-foot whale that was stranded on the bay side of the Rockaways. The call came around 10:40 a.m. Wednesday.
Biologist Mendy Garron says it's unclear what caused the whale to beach itself, but its chances of survival appear slim.
She says the whale isn't moving around much and "looks very compromised."
Garron says biologists are waiting for the tides to subside to determine what to do next.
Breezy Point is still recovering from the October storm that caused serious flooding and a fire that destroyed 100 homes.

Pontiac Torrent Ignition Problem
torrentowner Posts: 1
Hi there…Has anyone found an solution to this problem in all these years? Or has contacting the GM reps who repeatedly offered assistance if you send them info, helped anyone to fix this problem? I have a 2006 Torrent which I LOVE and sadly have many of the same issues… -after the heater core was replaced at dealer ( to late for recall but dealer convinced GM to at least pay for half of the $1400 work ) -3 wheel bearings (one without warning the tire almost fell off the rear…thank GOD we were driving slowly through a town when it happened!!!) -passenger wiring harness, -abs kicking on EVERYTIME you come to a stop (all tire sensors bad) - CT pipe breaking for no reason (an apparent issue as per dealer) at a $600 replacement cost if I don't want my car to sound like a Harley and pass Etest (I'm in Ontario Canada and an drive clean etest is required every two years to get you plates renewed) -Lights on dash for no apparent reason etc, etc
NOW the biggy… electrical issues..it died a few times before and required a boost to get going again…and twice the radio or fan would not shut off when the car was turned off and the key was out of the ignition…again dead. The windows and rear wiper sometimes work and sometimes don't…plus the front passenger only works when you open the door :/
Finally I come to a stop sign…flicker and beep goes the dash…and it dies…never to start again…not with a boost, not with a charger, not with a new battery. $300 to have it towed and there it sits in my drive waiting for me to have enough money to have it towed and looked at while all the new parts rot
HELP! I LOVE my Torrent…first "pretty car" I ever owned. I am a single mom and needed a reliable car as I am on limited funds and live in rural Ontario…
GM… SHAME if you have not helped others with this problem after all these years and your support people posting over and over again…obviously you are aware there is a problem and should be standing by your product and recalling this car!!
My grandfather would be rolling in his grave as a 65 year retiree of your company…yes I said 65 years! I will be the last of my family to buy a GM…after my issues even my father went Toyota…and your wondering why our gov't has to keep bailing you out so you don't go under???? LOOK after your customers and maybe you would keep them loyal!! FYI we (most of Ontario) won't be voting liberal either so there goes your cash cow!!
thop1 Posts: 1I have the same issue now with starting my 2006 torrent. I have to press the gas for it to start after the first start up in the morning. Now my problem is smelling the gas and everyone telling me my car is hazardous. I brought my car from the dealership in 2011 and now I have 105,000 miles on my car and the warranty has ran out and now I am left to find the problem with my vehicle. When I first brought this car I had to have the ignition switch replaced because the ignition switch wouldn't turn over, I should of knew that was the first sign of this car being a headache.

RICHMOND, Va. — A Virginia Beach restaurant owner will face charges that he held three young women against their will for spankings they agreed to get in exchange for financial support.
A judge certified five felony abduction and object sexual penetration charges to the grand jury Thursday after hearing emotional testimony from the women. Six other assault and sexual battery charges against 54-year-old Henry Allen Fitzsimmons were dropped because the women who filed the complaints had agreed to the spankings.
Fitzsimmons agreed to provide college tuition and a $200 weekly allowance to the women as part of the so-called Spencer Scholarship Plan. As part of the plan, the women agreed to be spanked if they violated certain rules, such as failing to call Fitzsimmons or drinking alcohol. AP

0.8 A resolution crystal structure of human Parvulin 14
Parvulins compose a family of small peptidyl-prolyl isomerases (PPIases) involved in protein folding and protein quality control. A number of amino acids in the catalytic cavity are highly conserved, but their precise role within the catalytic mechanism is unknown. The 0.8 A crystal structure of the prolyl isomerase domain of parvulin Par14 shows the electron density of hydrogen atoms between the D74, H42, H123, and T118 side chains. This threonine residue has previously not been associated with catalysis, but a corresponding T152A mutant of Pin1 shows a dramatic reduction of catalytic activity without compromising protein stability. The observed catalytic tetrad is strikingly conserved in Pin1- and parvulin-type proteins and hence constitutes a common feature of small peptidyl prolyl isomerases.

I think a hybrid approach is best. some situations more

or less demand an RPC model, in which the caller blocks until a response is ready. in other cases, typically when the return value of the corresponding RMI call is void, it might be nice to have an asynchronous system.
you can, of course, develop something like JMS using RMI. clients can
add messages to a queue which is processed by some other thread. all sorts of things need to be considered, like how are error conditions signalled, how hard do you try to deliver messages in the face of network failures. etc. when you start worrying about those things,
you start saying, "jeeze, why don't I just buy a JMS product?"
RMI v/s JMS[ Go to top ]
Frequently, JMS is implemented over RMI by the vendor. But basically the issue as he says is whether or not you want to block on a call or not.

Yup, the basic thing would be whether you want to block the call or not.

Another consideration obviously is if you need to talk between systems other than java, some JMS vendors provide a way where c++ etc can talk to JMS.
RMI v/s JMS[ Go to top ]
I am new to Java and need to create a "Messenger" application for a project. I was trying to determine if RMI or JMS was the way to go. Can you explain to me what you mean by "blocking a call?"

The helicopter sustained substantial damage when the left, rear landing skid cross tube collapsed during landing. The CFI reported they taxied to the parallel taxiway of runway 26 to practice hovering autorotations. He reported, "I demonstrated three of them and then [the pilot receiving instruction] performed two. About a second or so after the touchdown on [the pilot receiving instruction's] 2nd hovering auto, the left skid collapsed and the helicopter slowly and gently rolled onto it's left side. The main rotor blades made contact with the ground and came to a stop." He reported, "All hovering autos were performed into the wind from a stabilized hover of 3-5 feet agl. All were terminated with the skids close to parallel with the taxiway without any hard landings." The cross tubes had about 1,500 hours since the last major overhaul. The aircraft had flown 9.6 hours since the last 100 hour inspection. An A&P mechanic reported he had examined the cross tubes during the 100 hour inspection. He reported the height of the tail measured 35 inches. The manufacturer's criteria for replacing the cross tubes is a measured tail height of 34 inches or less. The mating fractures from the left sides of the front and rear landing skid cross tubes were sent to the National Transportation Safety Board's (NTSB) Materials Laboratory for examination. The inspection revealed the following: "Magnified optical examinations of both fractures revealed features typical of overstress separations in aluminum tubes. In addition, the orientations and paths of the fractures along with associated deformation patterns were consistent with large upward loads on the skid ends of both tubes at the time of fracture. In addition to the local deformation at the fractures both tubes also displayed large radius upward bends along most of their lengths. No indications of preexisting fatigue or corrosion were apparent on the fractures or in the surrounding areas."
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

We have met our goal of 500 for the Park, but we aren't finished! For every gift made by May 1, we will get an additional $20 per gift!
From Hurricane Sandy to the more recent harsh winter
weather, the past few years have been rough on Prospect Park. The Prospect Park
Alliance, which partners with the City to preserve, restore and maintain the
Park, is working harder than ever to keep Prospect Park clean, safe and
Thanks to everyone who participated in 500 for the Park, a seven-day campaign to generate 500 donations of any size for the Park, we have met our goal three full days before the deadline, and will receive the generous $25,000 challenge grant from Lorraine and Gordon DiPaolo.
But we aren't done!
Due to the success of this campaign, the Prospect Park Alliance's Board of Directors has issued a second challenge. For every additional gift made by 11:59 pm on Thursday, May 1, they will contribute an additional $20 per gift for Prospect Park. If you haven't had the opportunity to participate, now is your chance!
If you have contributed, we need your help to spread the word! Here is how you can help:
Working in partnership with the City, the Prospect Park
Alliance oversees the day-to-day operation and long-term stewardship of
Prospect Park, and plays a significant role in funding the Parkâs operating
budget. Alliance staff includes arborists, groundskeepers, woodland ecologists,
aquatic specialists and educators. From everyday tasks such as planting new
trees and repairing broken playground equipment, to long-term conservation and
restoration projects, much of the work the Alliance does happens so quietly
that daily visitors might not notice it.
Thank You For Your Support of 500 for the Park!
Arbor Day is the perfect day to launch the Prospect Park Allianceâs spring challenge, 500 for the Park. Be one of the first 500 to donate to Prospect Park to help us earn a $25,000 challenge grant!
Just under four hours in and we're already at 30% of our goal! Can we get to 250 by the end of the day?!

Teachers: How to Get Started with NHD
We welcome your interest! To get started with NHD, please get in touch with the state coordinator by emailing email@example.com or calling 919-807-7395. The coordinator can put you in touch with the district coordinator for your region and can share resources with you.

The Teacher Toolkit offers some suggestions for starting a History Day program, including a classroom calendar, suggested steps, information about district contests, thesis worksheets, tips for improving bibliographies, and links to other resources. This is a very basic introduction that cannot take the place of the Guide sold by the national office, but it can be a good place to get started.
The National History Day in Mississippi program has developed a very useful guide to help teachers introduce their students to National History Day and guide their students' NHD project development. This 18-class framework offers suggestions and links to handouts: Framework for Teaching NHD in 18 Classes.
The national office of National History Day offers useful books for sale on such topics as how to create an exhibit, website, documentary, research paper, and performance as well as a book designed specifically to help teachers use National History Day in the classroom. A Guide to Historical Research Through the National History Day Program was written by a team of ten veteran NHD teachers who provide their best practices in supporting student research. The book is formatted to take teachers step-by-step through a school year, from topic selection to research presentation. More information can be found by going to www.nhd.org and clicking on "Store" (http://www.nhd.org/cart).
Be sure to visit the national website, www.nhd.org, for additional teacher resources, sample student projects, tips for students, and more.
Important Note: New NHD Rule Book for 2014-15!
Please note that National History Day has revised the rule book. Your students must use this new rule book for 2014-15. Please click here for the new rule book.
You can find a list of some of the important rule changes here.
Useful Webinars on NHD Resources

Other free webinars include a webinar on September 16 that explores the resources offered by the Library of Congress; a September 25 webinar featuring education specialists from the Library of Congress who will model historical thinking strategies for educators using photographs and prints as a model; and a webinar on September 30 featuring educators from the National Endowment for the Humanities who will explore resources that can expand and deepen your students' understanding of leadership and legacy. Information about all these webinars can be found at http://www.nhd.org/ClassroomConnection.htm.

MADRID (AP) - A consortium including Spanish construction companies ACS and FCC says it has been awarded a 3.9 billion-euro ($5.4 billion) contract to build and operate a subway line in Peru's capital.
Nuevo Metro de Lima says in a statement its winning bid is led by ACS Group subsidiaries Dragados and Iridium, and FCC subsidiary Vialia, alongside Italian companies Impregilo and Ansaldo, as well as Peruvian company Cosapi.
Madrid's subway system will act as an adviser. The project will build Metro Line 2 in Lima and a branch off Line 4 to reach the city's international airport. It will cover 27 kilometers (16.7 miles) and include 27 stations serving 600,000 travelers daily.
FCC said Saturday its participation is 19 percent, and ACS's will be 25 percent.
