Dean was attacked by Mary too.
I'm only saying it's similar because the way in which the writers put both of these small details into the episodes (that a lot of people missed) and then later made a statement about it
I didn't even know there was a thread for this show. Can I just say, this show = two of the hottest guys on TV? Seriously I love them both and want to have both of their babies. At the same time even. Call me an inverted Tom Brady, if you will.
Basically I think you took the wrong meaning from my original post and what started off as just an observation has turned into a big unnecessary discussion.
There was a 'looming secret on the tail of Bloody Mary'. Not Sam's (which was covered in the episode and I didn't mention him at all) but Dean's.
After 'Bloody Mary' aired, the writers came out and said (in exactly the same way as they've done now) that there was a specific reason that Dean was also affected and we would find out later.
I assumed (and can't remember if this was ever confirmed or not) that this tied into the episode 'Something Wicked' where we find out a secret about Dean's past that led to people being killed. This is also a popular fan-theory.
Anyway, this basically covers the last part of your post. I wasn't trying to make any particular point with my first post - simply saying that the writer's have used this exact tactic before (which they have) and I think you misunderstood.
Really, I wouldn't be surprised it it was all down to messy writing
Actually I was really curious too so looked around tonight (didnt find any direct quotes from when the episode aired though - but thought this was interesting). So I wasn't totally accurate, but I'm starting to think that given the nature of the show it could mean just about anything.
"Dean was bleeding because he felt guilty over something that happened in the past. Originally people thought the answer was in the flashback scenes from Something Wicked, but Eric Kripke confirmed that Dean was hiding a bigger secret than that. Kripke recently reiterated at the LA Con in 2008 that Dean's eyes were bleeding for a reason but did not say why."
Yeah after all this I think now they have to be referencing the same thing.
Which I suppose makes it more interesting afterall
Just start watching again last week , how did dean get out of hell
Thanks .............
Anyways, I just saw the season 4's episodes and...WOW!!! Fucking loved it! Dean being dragged out of hell by an Angel? God intervening? Apocalypse? Lucifer walking free? Battles between demons and angels? HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!! This season is going to be the best so far!!!
Back with more coherent statements when I get over how damn good the episode is and how much deeper and absolutely amazing the series has evolved to be.
Hey did anybody stop and think just how powerful this angel must be? He went into hell and snatched Dean from the pits and returned him to life.
That's one badass mother fucking Angel!
"A nosy old hag like you knows everything about the people who live under her roof. Where did she go? (LA Noire)
Tonight's episode was my favorite in a while. I like Dean and Castiel's interaction.
My only disappointment is the lack of Ruby. They brought her back in a different body but then barely used her at all. I understand she is scared of the angels and all but they havent been around until tonight. i guess they used her to introduce Sam's powers but I've grown attached to her and like to have her around once in a while.
Kripke has openly stated that the reason Katie was let go was because of budget concerns. Because the moronic CW network has devoted the bulk of their budget trying to launch 90210 Supernatural is unable to afford another regular therefore it limits the number of episodes Ruby can appear in (as long as she stays in one body).
She will be back. Fear not. I think Sam was just on an anti-demonic kick that his disillusionment with angels has clearly chased away.
As for the episode....
It was just fucking amazing. Everything about it down to the title (which I loved more than I can describe). The girl who played the cheerleader sucked hardcore in the acting department but when I overlooked that it was pretty much flawless.
I like the way the universe has finally begun to expand and we have characters (Castiel, Ruby, and Bobby) that pop up fairly consistently.
I am however still sad that they've not seen fit to bring back Ellen. Jo was a dumb twit and Ash was a sorry attempt at a comedic foil but I loved Ellen (and Missouri Mosely for that matter). To a large extent it wouldn't feel right to have a maternal figure for two men who've always lacked one. It wouldn't flow as smoothly as Bobby does as a paternal figure. But it doesn't mean we can't trot Ellen out now and then.
^ Ok I'm glad Ruby will be back. I didnt know about that. I did hear the girl who's eyes got burned out would be back. And agreed on the cheerleader. She was terrible. The only young female I've liked on the show is Katie Cassidy.
And I did hear about CW putting all their stock in 90210 to "save" the network. They seem to put a lot into Gossip Girl as well. I see more ads for that show than for any other television show period. I personally cant believe One Tree Hill is still on.
Last night's episode kicked ass. I love, love, love how the angels of heaven are being portrayed. Though they may be the "good" guys, some of them are no better than the enemy demons. So far we have Castiel, a zealous soldier of the Lord convinced of the righteousness of his cause--though he is starting to see things in shades of gray, rather than just in black & white. And this new angel, Uriel--what a dick! His contempt for the world borders on blasphemy (as pointed out by Castiel).
I just Googled Uriel, and I found out he is listed as one of the seven Archangels who stand before God, along with Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael. He is the angel of thunder and terror, and is completely devoted to the impersonal fulfilment of Divine Will. He commands the angels assigned to guard the Watchers until their Judgment, and is the angel placed in the Garden of Eden, with his flaming sword, to prevent any from entering.
I find the dynamic interesting because it makes me reflect on Ruby. I had thought that Castiel and Ruby would be used as inverses of each other. The episode made me think a little about "Jus in Bello" and Dean's call there.
As for Ruby fear not. She will be around for quite a while and figure prominently in both episodes 9 and 10 and likely several after. Little birdies have told me that her actions in episode 10 will also reveal more about her character and possibly change the way we look at her.
Kinda silly but I like what they've been doing with their fake names this season. Every episode they are using a rock star's name. This week is was "Agent Getty and Agent Lee." Getty Lee is from the band Rush.
Anyway on the serious tip.
Small little hints like Dean standing in front of the mask in the classroom and Sam saying "bring back memories?" are what I love about Supernatural. They are constantly giving little hints to things that are coming up in later episodes.
Also something interesting. Uriel went to see Sam. Castiel went to see Dean. I get that Dean and Castiel already have an established thing, but interesting to me in regards to character connections.
Great episode. Looking forward to what's to come!
They LOVE being referential. The vast number of their episode titles are the names of rock songs/albums, books, or horror movies. In one (Blood Mary I think when they were tracing where the mirror had been) it's mentioned that an object had been in "Brockway, Ogdonville, and North Haverbrook" which is a (hillarious) reference to the Simpson's episode "Marge vs the Monorail"
I remember that they've been doing that for a while, it just seems like this season they are being more "obvious" about it.
I love shows that do referential lines and throwbacks. One of my favorite moments in Supernatural reference episodes is "What would Buffy do?" as said by one of the Ghost Facers.
Great episode this week. We got both the light goofiness and the dark and heaviness that we all love.
I am wondering how long it is going to be before WE get to see what Dean went through in hell.
I believe that I heard in episode 10 we're suppose to learn much about Dean's experiences in hell.
It was a decent episode. Nothing amazing.
Also doesn't Jensen look so fucking adorable in this picture
Anyways, I FUCKING LOVED that last scene with Castiel and Dean talking in the park. It was such a great scene. I just loved how Castiel opened up to Dean and showed his vulnerability. It made Dean realize he's not the dick he thought he was. Also, I just want to say Castiel is already becoming one of my favorite characters ever in Supernatural, specially after that episode. What an ally to have...a freaking angel that even Lilith is scared to death of. LOVE IT!!! I'm telling you...this season is probably going to be the best one so far!
An okay episode overall,though an okay one for this show is far better than most others best.Lots of humor and great character drama....felt so sad when Ted Raimi took back the coin and lost his dream love.The kid with the superhero abilities was great with Dean....the oversized,neurotic teddy bear hilarious.But it's the underlying effect his time in hell has had on Dean and Sam's until now futile attempts to get Dean to reach out about them that really put a powerful punch in the show.And like it's been said earlier we will soon learn what horrors Dean did experience in four months of damnation.....the hints thrown out so far have suggested something beyond horrific.
unofficial official mini meet Friday- Saturday April 11-12, 2014
Did anyone catch the David Duchovny "X-Files" porn addiction reference Thursday night? It happened so fast. When the little girl on the bicycle dropped the porn magazine that she was taking to the teddy bear, Dean asked Sam, "what is this...some Deep Woods Duchovny?" (or something to that affect). Since I'm sure many "Supernatural" fans were also X-Philes, it was a cool and funny reference.
Overall I really didn't like the story of the episode, but saying that, most of the jokes were pretty good
"A little young for Busty Asian Beauties..."
It felt weird having the overly-serious b-plot about Dean's time in Hell in an episode like this.
I was wondering though, I don't remember the first episode so well. Did Dean actually lose his memory when he was resurrected, and it gradually came back to him? Or could he remember the whole time, right from when he woke up?
^^I think Dean suppressed the memories of his time in hell, only to have them resurface during the whole ordeal with the ghost sickness.
No Dean's had those hell flashes since the first episode this season I believe.
Hmm...I don't remember him having any flashbacks that episode--I could be wrong.
Misha (a.k.a. Castiel) said this about the next episodes:
You thought the Wall Street meltdown was scary. How about the apocalypse? "Supernatural" angel Castiel -- actor Misha Collins -- tips that "the next few episodes are going to bring the first real confrontation between heaven and hell" on the CW show. There will be "fisticuffs," says he. However, he also admits, "I don't actually know that much about where things are going in the greater arc of the story."
Oohhh. I can't wait--I love fisticuffs.
I knew it! I knew Sam and Ruby hooked up. it was really hot too. Sam's hookups are few and far btwn but when he has them there is always an intense love scene. It's funny you never actually see Dean in action. I know everyone loves Jensen but I prefer Jared. He's got a body like Hugh Jackman. He's so tall and lean. Perfection.
But yeah they show Sam's more in depth I believe because
A) Sam's sex scenes always have much more to do with his personal characterization than with Dean (who despite being the ladies man very rarely actually ever has sex)
B) As much as I LOVE my Jensen... Jared indisputably has the better body despite being marginally less adorable than Jensen.
I liked tonight's episode. We're getting back on track. We finally got to see what happened with Sam after Dean's death. The sex scene with him and Ruby--hot, although I will say, I kind of liked the blonde Ruby who saved Sam. I wonder who this Alistair demon is. And, the end--awesome. Hell wants the girl alive, Heaven wants her dead...love it. And Castiel is seriously fuckworthy.
As far as this episode went it was OK... I really think the Ruby flashbacks seem to drag and eat a lot of time. I think this was probably an episode that turned out to be 1.5 episodes and they stretched it to 2. Because I was so in for the first two acts and the last act was great but in between it was kinda meh.
I think it would have been better if they had dealt with Sam's mourning as a separate episode, mixed with Dean's experience in hell. Tonight's episode would have been better if they had simply focused on the demons pursuit of the woman.
I agree the brunette Ruby's overall acting is bad. But her sex acting is on point. As much as I love Katie Cassidy as Ruby, I doubt she could have thrown down like that with Jared.
But as far as the story of Sam's struggle, I wish they would have told all this earlier instead of so many filler episodes back to back. Then they should have introduced this storyline with the girl on its own. I wanted to know more about the girl and her powers. While Ruby sucks at acting the red-haired girl is one of my favorite guest actresses. I knew Dean was gonna have something with her when she called him "The Dean." I do kinda like the Operation Double Date thing that seems to be going on in next weeks episode. I like when the boys are part of a team and not just the 2 of them.
I think the reason you can't see Katie Cassidy throwing down like that is because it was so blatantly out of character. The character of Ruby had definite flirtatious undertones when she was introduced in the very beginning but they were quickly dropped and she was drawn as a serious business bitch. Aside from that wooden scene with lesbianic undertones in Malleus Maleficarium they dialed back the sex on Ruby. That whole scene/transition was written very poorly though. For a scene that's suppose to be putting us on Ruby's side it made her seem awfully predatory. It was a clear seduction and didn't seem like she was genuinely connecting with Sam at all.
My personal thought is that this is a companion piece to episode 4 (where Dean goes back in time). It's a story with essentially no Dean to counteract no Sam. It would've been more intelligent in my opinion if they made this episode 5 and gave Ruby and Sam something of substance to do where this could be flash backed a bit but more realistically draw out the reality of their relationship in whatever present situation they were dealing with.
Meh...the episode is mediocre. For what I was expecting, it was really disappointing. I was expecting some awesome action between the angels and demons and what do I get? Basically, a bunch of flashbacks... *yawns* ...boring! There were some good scenes but overall it's a meh episode...IMO it's a filler. They could've handled things differently but whatever...I can't believe I'm gonna have to wait 1 fucking week to see the battle between the angels and demons. Holy shit! That's gonna be THE awesomeness!

Remember what it's like to be carpet bombed with deceiving ads designed for the sole purpose of avoiding the truth and confusing people to vote against what they want?
Ag Biotech and the Grocery Manufacturers Association are at it again. Just like they did to California voters during Prop 37 – they are spending millions on commercials to scare and confuse voters in Oregon and Colorado to ensure we can't know what they are putting in our food.
Both states need our help! Please sign up to make phone calls to voters to help them understand the importance of labeling GMOs. The campaign has a script and a phone system so that you don't have to do anything but talk to someone from the comfort of your own home.
Do you only have a little time to help? Make only 5 calls. If you have more time, make more calls. It's so gratifying to get someone at the other end of the phone who doesn't know about GMOs and you educate them to vote YES!
The bottom line is this: we know what it's like to be carpet bombed with lies. It's devastating to watch all our support wither and die due to unethical campaigners who have no compunction about confusing voters with inaccuracies, sound bites crafted to confuse and, on occasion, outright lies like they did here in California in 2012.
Ballot initiatives either need millions of dollars to win…or they need lots, tons, gabillions of us to ACT.
Please join us in making 2014 the year that we have massive wins for labeling. Call from the privacy of your home. Do it alone or invite some friends over for a "Bringing Down The Junk Food Meanies" party. All they need is a cell phone and a laptop to have fun.
Ballots are in home. They need us NOW!
Please donate and make calls
To support Colorado go here. http://www.righttoknowcolorado.org/phones
To support Oregon go here. http://oregonrighttoknow.ngpvanhost.com/form/-4582123058710116608?ms=E.EN-O-NDA.NAT.MAIN_SIGNUP
This election cycle could really change things…and WILL with your help. Please make calls and make your voice heard!!

Regulators are making third-party compliance a priority. And believe it or not, community banks are liable for the damage caused by improper vendor actions.
Consumers are at a real disadvantage, because they do not get to choose the service providers they deal with the financial institution does, said Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Director Richard Cordray in the bureaus press release on the guidance issued earlier this year. Consumers must not be hurt by unfair, deceptive or abusive practices of service providers. Banks and nonbanks must manage these relationships carefully and can be held accountable if they break the law.
Yet with the increase in outsourcing activities and the added regulatory attention, community banks have not identified vendor management as a priority. ATTUS and CSI recently surveyed hundreds of financial institutions for their insight on banking priorities for the current year. Few, if any, respondents recognized vendor management as a priority for 2012.
To effectively manage a banks vendors, institutions should focus on four key areas.
Vendor Selection
Conducting proper due diligence in selecting a vendor is a critical aspect of vendor risk management. Important due diligence steps include:
Vendor Contract
The contract between the financial institution and the vendor is another key factor in mitigating risk, because it dictates legally binding terms and conditions. Financial institutions should rely on experienced counsel to ensure that its interests are protected and potential contingencies are considered. The contract should also articulate the mutual expectations of both parties.
Vendor Management and Monitoring
After the vendor has been selected and the contract signed, it is important to manage and monitor the relationship. Performance monitoring controls should include:
Contingency Planning
While outsourcing can be beneficial, it creates the risk that a vendors operations can be disrupted and might affect the bank for the services the vendor provides. To mitigate this risk, financial institutions must ensure that the vendor has a prudent business recovery plan in place.

A shoulder dislocation occurs when the head of the humerus (upper arm bone) pops out of the shallow shoulder socket of the scapula (called the glenoid). This can happen when a strong force pulls the shoulder upward or outward, or from an extreme external rotation of the humerus.
Glenohumeral dislocations are generally classified by the direction of dislocation of the humerus.
Dislocation can be full or partial:
Shoulder dislocations can also be associated with fractures—one can have a fracture and dislocation at the same time. Nerves and blood vessels can sometimes be injured with a severe shoulder dislocation, requiring immediate medical attention.

A risk factor is something that increases your chance of getting a disease, condition, or injury.
Risk factors for a shoulder dislocation include:

James MacMillan's Inés de Castro
Inés de Castro, Spanish mistress to Pedro, Crown Prince of Portugal, finds herself caught in fast-growing tension between their two countries. Goaded by his scheming advisor Pacheco, the King prepares to banish her for the good of the State, but Pacheco has more extreme measures in mind.

James MacMillan's Inés de Castro
New production
Sung in English with English supertitles
Commissioned by Scottish Opera in 1996, James MacMillan's extraordinary first opera, after the play by Jo Clifford, has established itself as a modern masterpiece. Shocking, intense and utterly compelling, it is all the more macabre for being based in fact. This new production is directed by Olivia Fuchs (A Midsummer Night's Dream 2013) and is conducted for the first time by the composer himself, bringing new musical insights to the fore.
Inés de Castro, Spanish mistress to Pedro, Crown Prince of Portugal, finds herself caught in fast-growing tension between their two countries. Goaded by his scheming advisor Pacheco, the King prepares to banish her for the good of the State, but Pacheco has more extreme measures in mind. As war erupts, Pedro leaves to lead his men and, left to fend for herself, Inés falls into a nightmare of political intrigue, where much more than her position is at stake.
An epic tale that encompasses everything from love, duty and betrayal to politics, torture and infanticide, MacMillan shies away from nothing. His music is rooted in the oldest of operatic traditions but looks at it all with fresh eyes in a unique, visceral experience that has all the grandeur of Verdi. Scottish Opera favourites Stephanie Corley and Paul Carey Jones are joined by Susannah Glanville (Tosca 2013) and British stars, tenor Peter Wedd and bass Brindley Sherratt.

over the right field roof' to give the Yanks a 7-3 win over the Browns.
Lefty Gomez almost has New York's first shutout of the season' but he
weakens in the 9th.
1923: At Comiskey Park' the Yanks are winning a laugher' 16-5' when a dog wanders into left field in the 9th inning. Babe Ruth briefly plays with the pup' then tosses his mitt at it to chase it away. The
dog promptly grabs the mitt in its teeth and takes off at the same moment that Sox
rookie pitcher Paul Castner lofts a fly to left. Babe casually catches
the fly bare handed.

Times have changed, and your processes need to change as well. As the year begins to fall away, planning for the New Year begins, and everybody is trying to figure out how to turn this years budget into next years strategic plan.
For all the good that would do, you would be better off folding the budget into a flock of little origami cranes. At least that would improve your dexterity and add a bit of flair to your office décor.
Trying to make a strategic plan out of a budget is ugly. Budgeting and planning are as different as a grocery list and a five-course meal. You need one to get to the other, but they are hardly the same.
So how do you create a plan that leads to world-class results?
Put Away the Chisel
You have probably heard of the butterfly effect, where the beating of a butterflys wings sets off a chain of countless small reactions until you have a hurricane on your hands. That is the economy for you an incredibly complex web of tiny causes and huge effects. It is difficult to predict exactly what the world will look like three, six and 12 months out.
Given all this uncertainty, any minute-to-minute plan you carve in stone is doomed to fail. The move from step five to step six that seemed so logical in January may be suicide in July after the economy has shaken the ground beneath your feet a few times. What you need is constant reassessment and re-orientation to the end results you want, coupled with the skills to adapt and adjust your strategies as changes come your way.
So when you meet to plan for the coming year, put away that chisel. Instead, define the targets you intend to keep in your sights and build the shared commitment to reach them.
Build Mutual Trust
We must hang together, or most assuredly, we will all hang separately. That was Benjamin Franklins thought on signing the Declaration of Independence, but it ought to be on the lips of everyone in your planning meeting as well. Mutual trust is a key ingredient in strategic planning. Putting petty conflicts and self-interest aside is vital to refocusing all eyes on the prize. Every team member must know that every other team member has his back and will support rather than undercut his efforts to reach the mutual goal.
Because you are not dealing with robots, that kind of trust cannot simply be programmed. You have to name it as an indispensable value from square one and get your whole team to recognize this fact. When trust breaks down along the way when, not if everyone must have the ability and willingness to communicate on the spot and heal the rift for the sake of shared objectives.
Put Some, Uh Strategies in Your Strategic Plan
The reality is that the strategic plans of typical banks are devoid of strategies. What most of them have instead are goals. Lots of them have goals. There may be some initiatives or tactics, too. But without strategies, world-class results will only be something you read about in the headlines not something you realize within your own bank.
One Page Period
As a teenager, Stephen King had a dozen short stories refused by one magazine after another. Finally, an editor gave him a piece of advice: Your final draft should always be shorter than your first draft. Once King started reducing instead of expanding in the final step, he began getting published.
The same rule goes for speeches, advertising, marriage proposals and strategic plans. Write all you want into the first draft. Get all of your ideas out there. Then brutally whack your plan down to one tight page.
Be Precise
Vague wandering in the general direction of results will get you vague and general results. Instead, create a plan that zeroes in on the results you expect with glistening, crackling clarity, and build in follow-through templates, making sure everyone is aligned through weekly check-ins.
Be Systematic
Good intentions are swell, but you will never connect the dots between point A and point Z unless you put a system in place. I do not mean a system that is written and forgotten, but one that you return to every week for realignment and one that is integrated into every employees quarterly plan.
These elements of a successful plan flexibility, trust, strategies, conciseness, precision and drum-tight systems are all optional; so is success. But if you choose to follow these guidelines, you will be well on your way to the kind of success that will have your old-school competitors running for their silver bullets. Let em run you have things to do.

text: 5 A truly original story...King and Darabont score againBigal1870 | 19/11/2008 | See all Bigal1870's reviews (36)Top 100 DVD Reviewer I have read most of Stephen Kings novels over the years and you have to wonder how he keeps on churning out original ideas. Don't get me wrong, some of his novels do get a little too cerebral on occasions and not all of them have done so well on the screen. However The Mist scores as both a great thriller and a movie that will stay with you afterwards.Basically this is a story about a group of people stranded in a supermarket after a mist descends on a small town. However this being a King story this mist contains all sorts of nasty creatures, some of which are truly horrific. Beasts, creepy crawlies and nasties in between stalk the streets; where are they from ? Well we do get an a suggestion midway through the film, but best to suspend disbelief and go with the flow.Basically this film works best on the suggestion of what we don't see. Some of the beasts we just get a glimpse of, others are full frontal. We get to deal with the fears of the characters and their transformation from ordinary townsfolk to, in some cases, heroes and in others victims and villains.The main character played by Thomas Jane is a believeable anti hero. An ordinary man who really doesn't want to be a leader in a crisis, but ends up facing and carrying out his (and anyone elses) worst nightmare. The ending, whilst over all too quickly, is truly disturbing.Visually this movie is a treat in hi def. Whilst we don't get much in the way of deep blacks, there is plenty of dodgy CGI action and some of the flying creatures stand out very nicely in hi def. Again, a bit like The Shawshank Redemption, this is a film that doesn't really lend itself to glittering visuals or audio, it is a film that is worth buying for the story alone rather than just to watch and listen to. Did I really say that...but I guess you catch my drift.There is plenty to test your hi def TV and 5.1 set up, and I would heartily recommend this movie. It's worth the cash for the ending alone.

Custom wine gifts will impress just about anyone, whether they are a staff member, customer, or potential client. Wine itself is an excellent gift that can be widely appreciated by just about anyone. When you combine it with a custom gift package you make the entire gift much more special. The backbone of any promotional gift is to have an impact and make a lasting impression, and a wine gift will certainly do this.
When you receive wine as a gift think for a moment about what you look at first. If you are like most people you likely look at the label on the bottle first. Therefore, if you want to really make a splash and make sure that people remember your company name or logo; consider placing it on all your corporate wine gifts. This way the first thing that people see when they receive your gift is your company logo. Even more, it is actually something that they look for!
You can make your custom wine gifts even more memorable by including some custom wine accessories in the gift bag. Wine accessories will leave something behind that will remind clients of your company every time they reach to open a bottle of wine. There is no reason to delay handing out promotional items any longer . Give our promotional product experts a call at 877-377-6667 to get started today. Whether you are customizing wine gift sets, bottles, stoppers, or wine totes, ePromos will be able to custom print your logo or message for maximum brand exposure.
