The Chris Benoit double-murder and suicide occurred over a three-day period ending on June 25, 2007. World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) professional wrestler Chris Benoit killed his wife Nancy Benoit, strangled their seven-year-old son Daniel, and subsequently committed suicide by hanging. Autopsy results showed that Benoit first murdered his wife. She was bound at the feet and wrists and died of asphyxiation some time on Friday, Fayette County District Attorney Scott Ballard told a news conference. She was wrapped in a towel and some blood was found under her head but Ballard said there were no other signs of a struggle.
The couple's son, who also died of asphyxia, was apparently killed as he lay in bed on Saturday morning, hours before Benoit committed suicide by hanging himself in his weight room. Chris Benoit placed copies of the Bible alongside the bodies of his wife and son, as well as a third Bible on his weight lifting machine.[1][2] Since Benoit's suicide, numerous explanations for his actions have been proposed, including brain damage,[3] steroid abuse,[4] and a failing marriage with his wife.[5] The murder led to numerous media accounts, and federal investigation into steroid abuse in professional wrestling.

Murder and suicide[edit]
Nancy Benoit[edit]
On Friday, June 22, Chris Benoit killed his wife Nancy in an upstairs office. Her limbs were bound, and her body was wrapped in a towel. A copy of the Bible was left by her body. Injuries indicated that Benoit had pressed a knee into her back while pulling on a cord around her neck, causing strangulation. Blood was also found under her head, suggesting she may have tried to fend off Benoit. Officials said there were no signs of immediate struggle.[6] Toxicologists were unable to determine whether alcohol found in her body was there before death or a decomposition product. Rotting also made it difficult to estimate pre-death levels of hydrocodone and alprazolam, found in "therapeutic levels" in her corpse. In any case, her medical examiner saw no evidence she was sedated like her son.[7]
Between the two murders[edit]
At about 3:30 p.m. EDT on Saturday, June 23, fellow wrestler Chavo Guerrero[8] received a voicemail message from Benoit's phone stating that he overslept and missed his flight and would be late for that night's house show in Beaumont, Texas. Guerrero called Benoit back and Benoit sounded tired and groggy as he confirmed everything that he had said in his voice message. Guerrero, who was "concerned about Benoit's tone and demeanor", called him back twelve minutes later. Benoit did not answer the call and Guerrero left a message asking Benoit to call back.
At 3:44 p.m. EDT, Benoit called Guerrero back, stating that he did not answer the call because he was on the phone with Delta Air Lines changing his flight. Benoit stated that he had a stressful day due to Nancy and Daniel "being sick of food poisoning". A co-worker who often traveled with Benoit called him from outside the Houston airport and Benoit answered. Benoit told the coworker that Nancy was vomiting blood and that Daniel was also vomiting.
On Sunday, June 24, five text messages were sent to co-workers between 3:51 a.m. and 3:58 a.m. using both Chris Benoit's and Nancy Benoit's cell phones. Four of them were the Benoits' address and the fifth said that the family's dogs were in the enclosed pool area also noting a garage side door was left open.
During this time Benoit called and left a voicemail for an unknown friend. Benoit later called WWE's talent relations office stating that his son was vomiting and that he and Nancy were at the hospital with him. He also stated that he would be taking a later flight into Houston where he was scheduled to face CM Punk for the ECW World Heavyweight Championship at Vengeance: Night of Champions, but would not make the live event in Beaumont.[9]
Daniel Benoit[edit]
Daniel Christopher Benoit (born 23 February 2000) was Chris' third child and second son, having older paternal half-siblings named David and Megan via Chris' first wife, Martina. He was Nancy's first child, as she had no children with her ex-husbands Jim Daus and Kevin Sullivan.
Daniel was suffocated and killed in his bedroom, and a copy of the Bible was left by his body.[10] The boy had internal injuries to the throat area, showing no bruises.[11] Daniel's exact time of death is unknown.[12] The reports determined Daniel was sedated with Xanax and likely unconscious when he was killed.[13][14] A large butcher knife was found underneath Daniel's bed, but the knife was not used in either murder.[citation needed] Daniel's body had also just started to show signs of decomposition but was not as far along as his mother's body.[7]
It was later alleged that Daniel had Fragile X syndrome, and that this was the cause of domestic problems in the Benoit family.[15] It was also suggested that needle marks in Daniel's arms were the result of growth hormones given to him because Benoit and his family considered him undersized due to Fragile X.[16] Benoit's coworker and best friend, wrestler Chris Jericho, stated that from his own research on the condition, the symptoms "fit Daniel to a tee, all across the board." With regard to those who had publicly stated that they had no knowledge of Daniel having the condition, Jericho said, "If Chris had decided that he wanted to keep it to himself, you wouldn't have been able to pry that out of him with anything."[17] Despite Chris Jericho's initial statements regarding Daniel, he later stated in his 2011 book Undisputed, "It turned out that Daniel didn't have fragile X, but at the time it made sense because I was grasping at straws."[18]
District Attorney Ballard later released a statement saying that a source with access to Daniel's medical files found no mention of any pre-existing mental or physical ailments. Likewise, Daniel Benoit's educators reported that he was on par with other students and not about to be held back as previously thought.[19] Whether Daniel had Fragile X Syndrome has never been officially established.
Chris Benoit[edit]
Chris Benoit, according to District Attorney Ballard and city sheriff, committed suicide by hanging.[12] Benoit apparently used a weight machine cord to hang himself by creating a noose from the end of the cord. When Benoit released the weights, the move caused his strangulation. Ballard said the pull-down bar had been removed and Benoit was hanging from a pulley.
Discovery of the bodies[edit]
On Monday, June 25, WWE was notified of the text messages sent to Chavo Guerrero and Scott Armstrong. The company asked the Fayette County Sheriff's Department to check on the Benoit family. After discovering the bodies, the police notified WWE around 4:15 p.m., informing them that they had discovered three bodies at the Benoit home and the house was now ruled as a "major crime scene".[9]
A suicide note was not discovered during the initial investigation, but a note was later discovered in another Bible that had been included in Benoit's possessions that was sent to his first wife. According to professional wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer, "There was a note that was found in a Bible by the mother of Chris' two children (Martina Benoit) that lives in Canada... The Bible was mixed in with Chris' personal belongings that were shipped to them." Chris Benoit's father Michael Benoit stated, "He had a hand-written notation in there saying 'I'm preparing to leave this Earth.'"[20][21]
Possible motives[edit]
WWE attorney Jerry McDevitt appeared on Live with Dan Abrams on July 17, 2007 and said that Benoit was prescribed testosterone as part of a treatment for testosterone replacement therapy, which McDevitt said was a common medical practice for people who had used steroids in the past, and had suffered testicular damage as a result.
Former wrestler Christopher Nowinski stated that Benoit may have been suffering from repeated, untreated concussions throughout his wrestling career, ultimately leading to an unstable mental state. Nowinski was quoted as saying that Benoit "was one of the only guys who would take a chair shot to the back of the head ... which is stupid."[22] Tests conducted on Benoit's brain by Julian Bailes, the head of neurosurgery at West Virginia University, showed "Benoit's brain was so severely damaged it resembled the brain of an 85-year-old Alzheimer's patient."[23] Other tests conducted on Benoit's brain tissue revealed severe chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE),[24] and damage to all four lobes of the brain and brain stem.[25] Bailes and his colleagues concluded that repeated concussions can lead to dementia, which can contribute to severe behavioral problems. Benoit's father suggests that brain damage may have been the leading cause of the double murder-suicide.[26] A statement released by WWE dismissed this idea as "speculative".[27]
Nancy Benoit had filed for divorce in May 2003, allegedly after domestic abuse from Chris, but had withdrawn it in August 2003.[28] In February 2008, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC) reported that Nancy may have suspected her husband of having an affair with a WWE Diva, and that they may have also argued over a life insurance policy. The AJC claimed the source was a recently released report from the Fayette County Sheriff's Office.[29]
Speaking on the matter in his autobiography The Hardcore Truth, Bob Holly speculates the main influence in Benoit's actions was more so alcohol abuse rather than steroids. Holly and Benoit traveled together on the road during their time together in WWE and Holly did not believe steroids played a factor and that Benoit had tended to drink more than he normally would consume when issues with Nancy would arise.
World Wrestling Entertainment[edit]
The event was first reported to fans of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) on their WWE Mobile Alerts Service and posted to their official website soon after. On their website, the company released the following statement:
|World Wrestling Entertainment is deeply saddened to report that today Chris Benoit and his family were found dead in their home. There are no further details at this time, other than the Benoit family residence is currently being investigated by local authorities. Tonight's Raw on USA Network will serve as a tribute to Chris Benoit and his family. WWE extends its sincerest thoughts and prayers to the Benoit family's relatives and loved ones in this time of tragedy.[30]
WWE canceled the scheduled three-hour-long live Raw show on June 25 (which, coincidentally, was supposed to be a memorial for the Mr. McMahon character), and replaced the broadcast version with a tribute to his life and career, featuring past matches, segments from the Hard Knocks: The Chris Benoit Story DVD, and comments from wrestlers and announcers from the Raw, SmackDown! and ECW brands. Shortly after the program aired, many of the aired comments were posted on WWE.com. It was not until the program was nearly over that reports surfaced that police were working under the belief that Benoit murdered his wife and son before killing himself.
The next night, after some of the details of the deaths became available, the company aired a recorded statement by its Chairman Vince McMahon before their ECW broadcast:
|Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Last night on Monday Night Raw, the WWE presented a special tribute show, recognizing the career of Chris Benoit. However, now some 26 hours later, the facts of this horrific tragedy are now apparent. Therefore, other than my comments, there will be no mention of Mr. Benoit's name tonight. On the contrary, tonight's show will be dedicated to everyone who has been affected by this terrible incident. This evening marks the first step of the healing process. Tonight, WWE performers will do what they do better than anyone else in the world: entertain you.
After learning about the full details of his and his family's deaths, WWE quickly distanced itself from Chris Benoit:
- With the exception of his results and listings in WWE's title history (though the summaries of his title reigns have been removed), and select press releases from WWE's corporate subsite,[31] the WWE website removed all past mentions of Benoit, including all news articles relating to the specific details of the incident, as well as his biography and the video tribute comments from Benoit's peers.
- WWE pulled the tribute episode from international markets which aired Raw on a tape delay basis. Several channels announced the episode was being withheld for legal reasons. A substitute Raw, hosted by Todd Grisham from WWE Studios, was created featuring recaps of John Cena's WWE Championship victories, mainly the ones that had occurred over the past year.
- Some countries that received WWE programming up to three weeks late had all Chris Benoit matches edited out.
- Their merchandising website, WWEShop.com, followed suit with regard to all Benoit-related merchandise.
- All mentions of Benoit have been removed from archived footage broadcast on WWE Classics whenever possible. This policy also originally included footage of Nancy Benoit, although footage of her appearances has since been allowed to air. Matches and other footage involving Benoit have appeared very sparingly on any new DVD releases by WWE, with all of them being footage involving multiple wrestlers such as a battle royal or a multiple-person tag team match. The upcoming WCW WarGames DVD by WWE, which will feature all of the WarGames matches, does include the 1997 WCW Fall Brawl WarGames match between the nWo versus the Four Horsemen, featuring Benoit (who wasn't involved in the finish of the match), but has commentary about Benoit edited out,[32] though Benoit is referred to as a "mystery partner".
- Benoit, along with his "Crippler Crossface" and other signature moves, were removed from the WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008 video game, after Benoit was originally included in the game as a playable character. However, starting with WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2010, the move was reinstated under "Crossface".[33] The Crossface would later be used by Triple H and Shawn Michaels with some irregularity starting in late 2008.
- Benoit is listed in the WWE Encyclopedia, where his wrestling career up to where he lost the World Heavyweight Championship to Randy Orton is detailed, along with his title history.
- Benoit's name was removed from his previous theme song, "Rabid", on the MP3 release of WWE Anthology.[34]
- Promotional materials for the Royal Rumble pay-per-view regularly state that only two wrestlers have ever won the Royal Rumble match from the number one entry. However, only Shawn Michaels is referred to by name.
Professional wrestling industry[edit]
Numerous individuals in professional wrestling, past and present, commented on the deaths and their aftermath:
- Semi-retired professional wrestler and WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan commented solely on the personalities of Benoit and his thoughts on the crime, saying: "He was peaceful and kept to himself" and "I think it had to be something personal, a domestic problem between him and his wife."[35]
- Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) employee and former WWF/E co-worker Kurt Angle chose to comment more on the frenzy created by the crime, stating "This is not WWE's fault and this is not Vince McMahon's fault. Chris Benoit was responsible for his own actions."[36]
- Eric Bischoff, on his website, also commented on the media frenzy, saying: "It's clear that the media wants to blame steroids, professional wrestling, Vince McMahon, or anyone or anything else that further sensationalizes this family tragedy. I refuse to join the choir. I don't have enough information. I wasn't there. I am not a psychiatrist. I just can't imagine how or why this could have happened."[37]
- Other wrestlers have also commented, including Lex Luger,[38] Marc Mero,[39] Ted DiBiase, Sr., Bret Hart, Lance Storm,[40] Chyna,[41] Steve Blackman,[42] Rob Van Dam, Ultimate Warrior, Chris Jericho,[43] and William Regal.[44] Vince McMahon and his wife Linda (WWE CEO) were interviewed (separate and jointly) by various news outlets.[45]
- Adam Copeland (Edge) and Chavo Guerrero, Jr. openly spoke about how Benoit's death affected them. Copeland said Benoit was one of the three people he was close to in the WWE and Guerrero said Benoit was a very private person yet a close friend to the Guerrero family.
- CM Punk, in a 2011 interview with GQ, briefly touched on the subject of the Benoit murder/suicide (which occurred over four years prior to the interview). He described it as "a pretty... low point in everyone's life. A lot of people don't like to talk about it. It still blows my mind."[46] At the 2012 San Diego Comic-Con International during an interview session with WWE Superstars including Punk, Sheamus, and Zack Ryder (the former being in WWE's developmental territory Florida Championship Wrestling while the latter having just been called up to the main roster from FCW at the time of Benoit's death), Punk was asked if WWE was trying to erase Benoit from history. Punk responded that while Benoit is in the history books and that can not be changed, it does not make any sense for WWE to promote him, due to the horrific nature of the crimes he committed.[47]
- In July 2013, Stone Cold Steve Austin spoke on Benoit, saying that while he was a great performer as a wrestler and a great human being, Austin believes what Benoit had done to his wife and child would ultimately prevent him from ever being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
In 2003, Benoit had been inducted into the Wrestling Observer Newsletter Hall of Fame. As a result of the double murder-suicide, his induction underwent a recall election in 2008. Although over 50% of voters decided to remove Benoit from the Hall, Dave Meltzer (head of the Observer) had set a 60% requirement prior to the election, allowing Benoit to remain in.
When the news was released about Benoit's death, most mainstream news outlets covered the story, including MSNBC and Fox News Channel.[48][49] Benoit made the cover of People magazine. ECW Press announced on July 16 that noted wrestling writer Irvin Muchnick had written a book on the Benoit case, due out in 2008.[50] At the Comedy Central Roast of Flavor Flav in August 2007, Jimmy Kimmel joked to honoree Flavor Flav that "Chris Benoit is a better father than Flavor Flav", which drew a shocked, appalled response, and laughs from the crowd.[51]
Immediately following the deaths, WWE Classics On Demand, WWE's subscription video on demand service, began removing the likeness and mentions of both Chris and Nancy Benoit from archival footage.[52][53] They eventually returned Nancy to programming, but continue to remove Chris from bi-weekly uploaded episodes of WCW Monday Nitro.
With Benoit and his death allegedly linked to steroid abuse, WWE is currently under investigation by the United States House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform regarding their talent wellness policy.[54] As of June 2009[update], Congress has taken no action against either the WWE or any other professional wrestling company. In January 2009, Henry Waxman, outgoing chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, requested that the Office of National Drug Control Policy chief, John P. Walters, "examine steroid use in professional wrestling and take appropriate steps to address this problem." In the letter, Waxman stated "In the first year of WWE's testing program, which began in March 2006, 40% of wrestlers tested positive for steroids and other drugs, even after being warned in advance that they were going to be tested." He also wrote about how wrestlers who test positive for performance enhancers receive light punishment and afterwards can often participate in wrestling events. The committee investigation also uncovered how easily wrestlers can secure "therapeutic use exemptions" (TUEs, permission to take banned substances for medical reasons) so they can continue performing while using steroids. When Waxman's staff interviewed Dr. Tracy Ray, a physician contracted by WWE, Ray claimed there was "shadiness in almost every [TUE] case that I've reviewed."[55]
Steroids debate[edit]
Steroids were found in the home, leading some media organizations to hypothesize that a steroid-induced rage may be the cause of Benoit's actions, as some doctors have linked steroid use to uncontrollable anger, among other psychological issues which include paranoia.[48][56] WWE released a press-statement, challenging the "roid-rage" claims. One part of the statement reads:
|The physical findings announced by authorities indicate deliberation, not rage. The wife's feet and hands were bound and she was asphyxiated, not beaten to death. By the account of the authorities, there were substantial periods of time between the death of the wife and the death of the son, again suggesting deliberate thought, not rage. The presence of a Bible by each is also not an act of rage.[57]
Prosecutors in New York investigated the deliveries Benoit received from Signature Pharmacy and MedXLife.com, which sold steroids and human growth hormone (HGH) over the internet.[58] Terence Kindlon, the lawyer for MedXLife co-owner Dr. Gary Brandwein, denied allegations that his client's company sold steroids to Benoit.[58] Brandwein pled not guilty to six counts in New York state court related to the criminal sale of a controlled substance.[59] According to a report from Sports Illustrated, three packages sent to Benoit were from Signature Pharmacy with the first one sent in December 2005 to San Antonio, Texas. The second package was sent on February 13, 2006 to an address in Peachtree City, Georgia and the third package was sent in July 2006 to Fort Walton Beach, Florida.[60] This followed eleven superstars that were announced in a Sports Illustrated steroids investigation that began March 2007, which included Kurt Angle, Eddie Guerrero, Oscar Gutierrez (Rey Mysterio, Jr.), Adam Copeland (Edge) and Gregory Helms, with Copeland receiving a high amount of steroids.[61]
WWE attorney Jerry McDevitt stated that "they believe the facts of this crime do not support the hypothesis that 'roid rage' played a role in the murders." They cite evidence of premeditation in addition to the lack of a toxicology report, and the fact that the steroids found within Benoit's home were legally prescribed.[57][62] Dr. Gary I. Wadler who currently serves on the World Anti-Doping Agency's Prohibited List and Methods Committee and has served on its Health, Medicine, and Research Committee agreed stating that "that was a premeditated act and that's not rage".[63] Investigators seized both Chris and Nancy's medical records. They also have medical records of Mark Jindrak, Hardcore Holly (Robert Howard), Lex Luger (Lawrence Pfohl), Rey Mysterio, Jr., Buff Bagwell (Marcus Bagwell), and Johnny Grunge (Mike Durham), all of whom were patients of Dr. Phil Astin.[64][65][66] The toxicology report on Chris Benoit's body was released Tuesday, July 17, 2007 at 2:30 p.m. EDT.[14][67]
Toxicology results[edit]
At the press conference held by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation at 2:30 p.m. EDT on July 17, 2007, it was announced that three different drugs were found in Nancy Benoit's system: hydrocodone, hydromorphone and Xanax. All three drugs were found to be at levels investigators considered normal for therapeutic treatment (as opposed to recreational use or abuse.) A blood-alcohol level was found at 0.184. Dr. Kris Sperry added it was impossible to say whether any of the blood findings was due to ingestion of alcohol or the post-mortem process.[7] It was also ruled out that Nancy was sedated by Chris before she was murdered.[68]
Xanax was found in Daniel Benoit's system. District Attorney Scott Ballard noted this was not a drug that would be given to a child under normal circumstances. It is believed that Daniel was sedated prior to being murdered, with Dr. Sperry ruling out that Daniel died of a drug overdose.[68] The GBI, however, said in the press conference that it could not perform tests for steroids or human growth hormones on Daniel because of a lack of urine.[69]
Xanax and hydrocodone were also found in Chris Benoit's system, at levels investigators called consistent with therapeutic use. Elevated levels of testosterone cypionate were found in his urine; investigators believed that the level found suggested it had been taken recently. No artificial steroids were found in Chris' urine (with the exception of this testosterone cypionate) nor was there evidence of GHB, contrary to speculation.[68] Benoit also tested negative for blood alcohol.[70][71]
Dr. Astin[edit]
Dr. Phil C. Astin III was the personal doctor for Chris Benoit. Attorneys for Dr. Astin had asked a judge to throw out evidence seized during a raid on Astin's office after the death of Benoit and his family. Astin's attorney, Manny Arora claimed that the search exceeded authority granted in a search warrant and that authorities seized patients' records other than Benoit as well as three years of bank records and computers. This comes from the Wrestling Observer, a newsletter dedicated to professional wrestling. According to the Associated Press in February 2008, Astin had been charged with overprescribing medication in a case not connected to Benoit.[72] On January 29, 2009, Astin admitted he illegally prescribed drugs, sometimes without even examining the patients first and pleaded guilty to all 175 counts against him. Astin faced a maximum of 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $1 million on each count. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison for illegally prescribing medicine to his patients.[73]
Wikipedia controversy[edit]
|Wikinews has related news:
A statement regarding Nancy Benoit's death was added to the Chris Benoit English Wikipedia article fourteen hours before police discovered the bodies of Benoit and his family. This seemingly prescient addition was initially reported on Wikinews and later on Fox News Channel. The article originally read: "Chris Benoit was replaced by Johnny Nitro for the ECW World Championship match at Vengeance, as Benoit was not there due to personal issues, stemming from the death of his wife Nancy." The phrase "stemming from the death of his wife Nancy" was added at 12:01 a.m. EDT on June 25,[74] whereas the Fayette County police reportedly discovered the bodies of the Benoit family at 2:30 p.m. EDT (14 hours, 29 minutes later). The IP address of the editor was traced to Stamford, Connecticut, which is also the location of WWE headquarters.[75] After news of the early death notice reached mainstream media, the anonymous poster accessed Wikinews to explain his edit as a "huge coincidence and nothing more."[76][77]
Police detectives "seized computer equipment from the [man held] responsible for the postings" and called the posting an unbelievable "hindrance" to their investigation, but believed he was otherwise uninvolved, declining to press charges.[78][79] The man had found several rumors on-line,[80] which supported his theory about the Benoit "family emergency" as reported in wrestling news. The IP from which he made the edit was tentatively traced to vandalizing the Wikipedia entries for Ron Artest; Stacy Keibler; and Naugatuck, Connecticut.[81]
Aftermath and legacy[edit]
In the years following the incident, it continued to be referred to in the media.[citation needed] The murders led to many fans and critics of WWE believing them to be the cause that led WWE to change their programming.[citation needed] Within a few months "Chair Shots to the Head" were banned in WWE, along with the use of coarse language, blood, and adult oriented situations and storylines becoming limited to nonexistent.[citation needed] This was finalized in late 2008 to early 2009 in the creation of WWE's switch from a TV-14 rating to its current TV-PG rating.[citation needed]
On July 26–27, 2012, the rap group Insane Clown Posse released a music video for the song called "Chris Benoit". The song and video, however, are not about Benoit himself, but a man's breakdown that's similar to Benoit's.[82] The song and music video, however, does include stock footage and a recording of Chris Benoit before his death. A remix with rappers Ice Cube and Scarface was later released.
On December 1, 2012, Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher murdered his girlfriend, then took his own life at the Chiefs training facility near Arrowhead Stadium. The circumstances surrounding that murder-suicide drew some comparisons to the Benoit situation.[83]
In March 2013, Murder's Magazine produced a front page/article on the Chris Benoit incident launching further questions.
In a July 2013 interview, Nancy Benoit's sister said she believes a blackout caused him to murder her sister and said that doctors gave him only ten more months to live. Nancy's sister also stated that Benoit was contemplating retirement and opening a wrestling school but he decided to continue due to being in one of the main events at Vengeance for the ECW Championship. [84][85][86]
A biopic titled Crossface is being developed, which will be based on Matthew Randazzo's book Ring of Hell: The Story of Chris Benoit and the Fall of the Pro Wrestling Industry. It shows Benoit from his early days being trained by the Hart family, to his rise with WCW and WWE to the deaths of his wife, son and his own suicide.[87] The movie was originally announced in 2011 with plans to begin filming in 2012; however, they were delayed."
Footage of Benoit is available on the WWE Network, though no results cumulate when his name is searched & bookmarks are not available for matches he participates in. A parental advisory is shown before a program featuring Benoit begins.[88]

Kyoto, Japan
My Rating
We expected cultural tour with someone who is expert on local culture.
You guide- australian guy was very nice but he is not a great expert in local culture. He know where to go and some basic things about the objects, some details about living in Japan, but this should be Japanisee guy with great knowledge on japan live!
Otherwise this is only walking tour in Kyoto.
On the other hand we expected small van or car for this tour, local transport in Japan is really great but we were will small child and long walking wasn't the greatest think we would like to do.
So one to two stars, you should definitely do better.

Mine Safety and Health Administration - MSHA
- Protecting Miners' Safety and Health Since 1978
30 CFR § 75.337 Construction and repair of seals.
(a) The mine operator shall maintain and repair seals to protect miners from hazards of sealed areas.
(b) Prior to sealing, the mine operator shall--
(1) Remove insulated cables, batteries, and other potential electric ignition sources from the area to be sealed when constructing seals, unless it is not safe to do so. If ignition sources cannot safely be removed, seals must be constructed to at least 120 psi;
(2) Remove metallic objects through or across seals; and
(3) Breach or remove all stoppings in the first crosscut inby the seals immediately prior to sealing the area.
(c) A certified person designated by the mine operator shall directly supervise seal construction and repair and--
(1) Examine each seal site immediately prior to construction or repair to ensure that the site is in accordance with the approved ventilation plan;
(2) Examine each seal under construction or repair during each shift to ensure that the seal is being constructed or repaired in accordance with the approved ventilation plan;
(3) Examine each seal upon completion of construction or repair to ensure that construction or repair is in accordance with the approved ventilation plan;
(4) Certify by initials, date, and time that the examinations were made; and
(5) Make a record of the examination at the completion of any shift during which an examination was conducted. The record shall include each deficiency and the corrective action taken. The record shall be countersigned by the mine foreman or equivalent mine official by the end of the mine foreman's or equivalent mine official's next regularly scheduled working shift. The record shall be kept at the mine for one year.
(d) Upon completion of construction of each seal a senior mine management official, such as a mine manager or superintendent, shall certify that the construction, installation, and materials used were in accordance with the approved ventilation plan. The mine operator shall retain the certification for as long as the seal is needed to serve the purpose for which it was built.
(e) The mine operator shall--
(1) Notify the District Manager between two and fourteen days prior to commencement of seal construction;
(2) Notify the District Manager, in writing, within five days of completion of a set of seals and provide a copy of the certification required in paragraph (d) of this section; and
(3) Submit a copy of quality control results to the District Manager for seal material properties specified by § 75.335 within 30 days of completion of quality control tests.
(f) Welding, cutting, and soldering. Welding, cutting, and soldering with an arc or flame are prohibited within 150 feet of a seal. An operator may request a different location in the ventilation plan to be approved by the District Manager. The operator's request must address methods the mine operator will use to continuously monitor atmospheric conditions in the sealed area during welding or burning; the airflow conditions in and around the work area; the rock dust and water application methods; the availability of fire extinguishers on hand; the procedures to maintain safe conditions, and other relevant factors.
(g) Sampling pipes. (1) For seals constructed after April 18, 2008, one non-metallic sampling pipe shall be installed in each seal that shall extend into the center of the first connecting crosscut inby the seal. If an open crosscut does not exist, the sampling pipe shall extend one-half of the distance of the open entry inby the seal.
(2) Each sampling pipe shall be equipped with a shut-off valve and appropriate fittings for taking gas samples.
(3) The sampling pipes shall be labeled to indicate the location of the sampling point when more than one sampling pipe is installed through a seal.
(4) If a new seal is constructed to replace or reinforce an existing seal with a sampling pipe, the sampling pipe in the existing seal shall extend through the new seal. An additional sampling pipe shall be installed through each new seal to sample the area between seals, as specified in the approved ventilation plan.
(h) Water drainage system. For each set of seals constructed after April 18, 2008, the seal at the lowest elevation shall have a corrosion-resistant, non-metallic water drainage system. Seals shall not impound water or slurry. Water or slurry shall not accumulate within the sealed area to any depth that can adversely affect a seal.

The Vow arrives on DVD and Blu-ray in May
By Patrick Luce Apr 7, 2012, 17:48 GMT
Can a once in a lifetime love find a second chance? The romance drama The Vow arrives on DVD and Blu-ray May 8th from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.
Rachel McAdams (Midnight in Paris, The Notebook) and Channing Tatum (21 Jump Street, Dear John) rediscover the meaning of true love in The Vow. Inspired by true events, the romantic tale follows Paige (McAdams) and Leo (Tatum) after they survive a car accident that leaves Paige without any memory of the man she fell in love with or their marriage. Its up to Leo to win back her heart and her mind.
The film also stars Sam Neill (TVs Alcatraz, Jurassic Park), two-time Academy Award winner Jessica Lange (Best Supporting Actress, Tootsie, 1982; Best Actress, Blue Sky, 1994) and Scott Speedman (Underworld).
The DVD and Blu-ray Combo Pack bonus features include commentary with Director Michael Sucsy, a gag reel and deleted scenes.
Exclusive to the Blu-ray Combo Pack are three behind-the-scenes featurettes: Til Death Do They Part, a look at how the true-life story was made into the movie; Profiles of Love: Paige and Leo, which discusses what drew McAdams and Tatum to the project, as well as their perspectives on their characters and the film's themes; and Trying to Remember, explaining how trauma can affect memory.
Synopsis: Inspired by a true story, The Vow tells the tale of a husband (Channing Tatum) who must regain the love of his wife (Rachel McAdams) after a coma steals the past five years of her memories.
The Vow, a Birnbaum/Barber production, presented by Screen Gems and Spyglass Entertainment, was directed by Michael Sucsy from a story by Stuart Sender, and a screenplay by Abby Kohn, Marc Silverstein and Jason Katims. It was produced by Roger Birnbaum, Gary Barber, Jonathan Glickman and Paul Taublieb, with J. Miles Dale, Austin Hearst and Susan Cooper serving as executive producers.

Top Local Tips for Guaymas
Snorkeling in San Carlos The snorkeling was not worth it. The water wasn't clear and you had to really stay still to see anything moving. There were only one kind of school of fish going everywhere, but besides that I only saw 3 kinds of fish, and only ONE of each. On the other hand, the caves are great. You don't go in, but you can see the fish from the boat. If there weren't so many jellyfish, it would be beautiful to snorkel there! You can see the sardines jumping, the clear water, and other kinds of fish you didn't see at the snorkel point. That is a beautiful view.
Beaches Great beaches and in summer the beaches are great (if you like cold water winter is great too).
Great place for travellers Great place for travellers to and from the border, especially good for those with loaded cars.

Financial Consultant Interview
I applied through college or university – interviewed at AXA Advisors.
I transmitted my resume to a recruiter at a career fair. Someone contacted me a month later. I did a first interview with a VP then a second with the Branch Manager.
- Before to proceed the interview they wanted to evaluate my ability to make connections and the potential of my network. So they ask me to make a list of all my contacts + to connect with institutions in order to add more people to my network. All this, Prior to receive an offer! Answer Question

I applied through college or university – interviewed at AXA Advisors.Interview Details
Got a call the day after I submitted a resume through my university portal. The woman on the phone was very pleasant, and scheduled an interview for me. I showed up on the day of the interview about 15 minutes early - waited for about an hour. The interviewing manager never showed up, and the secretary didn't know where he was. I thought about reaching out to them afterwards to reschedule, but then I thought to myself, "do I even want to interview for a company like this" ? Needless to say, I never heard a thing from them since. High unprofessional conduct.Interview Questions

1st interview was essentially a joke, they hardly asked me any questions about myself, mainly tried to "sell" me on the position. I may be wrong, but I thought you were supposed to sell yourself in an interview?
They then performed a background check and called me for a 2nd interview about 3 weeks later. I declined.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at AXA Advisors in January 2011.Interview Details
I was rather surprised with how easy the interview process seemed to be for the job that they were advertising. I received a phone call from my resume being posted to a career site and answered a few questions about how I work and what I want out of a position. For round 2, I came in for a brief 1-on-1 with the general manager who wanted to just feel me out. Wasn't an intense process. More of a casual meet and greet. Then for round 3 I came in for an 1 1/2 hour presentation of who their company is and how they function. Included in that session was a 1-on-1 with a Sales manager who asked me about my work and educational history and why I wanted this job. I came back for a 4th session for which they had me prepare a short "what are you top priorities in a job" survey and build a list of potential clients to give me an idea of what a consultant would do. At that point, I knew I didn't want the job and made it clear to them. I didn't feel comfortable with their payment structure (small base + commission which evolves to only commission after 3 years.) As such, we mutually agreed that this wasn't the job for me. They were very cordial, honest, pleasant and forthright with everything and appreciated that I was also.Interview Questions

Just a little plug for the latest volume (170, Nov/Dec 2011) of Radical Philosophy, which has some really interesting pieces on the philosophy and politics of education. (I'm a bit busy for any extended commentary on any of these texts right at the moment, but I might post up some thoughts over the weekend if I get a chance.)
Most interesting from the perspective of my interests is Matthew Charles's article on the philosophy for children 'movement' (although this phrase might be a bit of an overstatement at this point) and the political consequences and limitations of the form it has taken thus far. Charles examines the organisations involved in teaching philosophy to children in the UK – The Philosophy Shop and SAPERE – considering the differences in their approaches and the shared limitations of their more or less implicit political framework. These are important issues, as teaching philosophy in schools is potentially very valuable, but only if it can be extricated from the limitations of an exclusively liberal conception of education and what it would be for education to be 'critical'.
Also in RP 170 is a collection of articles prompted by the publication by Continuum of Emiliano Battista's English translation of Jacques Rancière's first book, Althusser's Lesson. In this work, Rancière distances himself from his former teacher, Louis Althusser, the father of so-called 'structuralist Marxism', through a cutting critique of the latter, both his theoretical work and his pedagogical practice itself.
The collection includes a reprint of the English translation of a 1964 essay by Althusser entitled 'Student Problems' – introduced by Warren Montag – in which he criticises the contemporary student movement for attacking the traditional, liberal, unidirectional form of university pedagogy, grounded in an essential epistemic inequality between the teacher and the student, instead of 'the true fortress of class interest in the university' (p. 13, original emphasis), i.e., the 'ideological' content of that pedagogy. For the Rancière of Althusser's Lesson, this insistence on pedagogical inequality and refusal of any transformation of the very form of the university is definitive of Althusserianism, its deep opportunism and servitude to the cause of order and the authority of the Communist Party leadership.
The essay is followed by three very interesting engagements with Rancière's critique of Althusser, by Nathan Brown, Bruno Bosteels and Stéphane Douailler.
A final note: somewhere in one of these papers – I can't now remember which one – reference is made to Radical Philosophy's founding statement, a document which bears re-reading at this juncture of crisis for philosophy in the university. While I don't straightforwardly agree with this document's partisan stance against analytic philosophy, its concern regarding academic philosophy's isolation from other disciplines and from ideas and activities critical of the wider political, social and cultural setting – a concern which continues in the CRMEP's ongoing project on transdisciplinarity in the humanities – is still a crucial one for the future of philosophy today.

On the Move
So my family and I are about to embark on yet another adventure - just two years after coming back to Australia (after 15 years away) we are now heading back to the USA - to Denver this time - and I am up to my eyeballs in organization and packing (which may or may not explain my current dazed state!). Thankfully final revisions to my manuscript are done and have met with my agent's approval so, at least on the writing front, things are more or less out of my hands. Apart from that, however, chaos reigns!
We are all very excited about the move and I'm especially looking forward to getting back into the writing community and attending some writing conferences next year. So my question for you all (as I raise my head above the parapet of boxes) is which conferences do you think are the most worthwhile? I've attended many in the past but I confess I've lost track of most of them by now and it would be great to get feedback from you all on which you attended, which you thought were great (or not so great...), and why.
I've already got Bouchercon down on my list - though I do find it a little large and overwhelming - but other than that I'm wide open as to options. My current manuscript is a YA one with a historical/fantasy bent but I also hope to have a traditional mystery out by early next year too.
So I'd love you all to weigh in on some of the conference options - then I can get even more excited about my return to the USA!

Clare, take a look at Left Coast Crime 2013. It's not as big as B-con but plenty of time to get to know and chat up fellow writers. Has a very comfy, laid back style to it.ReplyDelete

It's in Colorado Springs, Clare. A serious contender & a short drive from Denver.Delete
Clare, I would definitely put ThrillerFest on your calendar. July 10-13 in NYC. Anne Rice is the 2013 ThrillerMaster, and the spotlight guests include Michael Connelly, T. Jefferson Parker and Michael Palmer.ReplyDelete
Well, I can plug my own conference on which I'm on the board...The Alaska Writer's Guild Conference in Sept right here in Anchorage. There's also the Kachemak Bay Writer's Workshop in Homer. Both pretty well attended and both in our lovely paradise state.ReplyDelete
Who knows, perhaps I could convince the other board members to have you, or any of the other TKZ staff, to come up as a presenter if you're interested.
I can't speak to the conference issue but bless you as you tackle another move. To me, that's one of the most stressful events in life, which must be doubly so for the distance you are going.ReplyDelete
BK, thanks! It is stressful indeed but we are excited so that's good. Thanks Jordan and Joe. I think Left Coast is too close to miss and Thrillerfest sounds awesome. Basil, Alaska sounds cool - but I'd have to think about that:)ReplyDelete

You've got the perfect idea. From here, you can make one of two major mistakes: 1) think it's way too hard to become a "real" inventor and just shelve your fabulous doohickey in a dusty corner of your brain, or 2) think it's way too easy and waste money and time without doing the proper preparation and end up with hundreds of unsold fabulous doohickeys in a dusty corner of your garage.
There is a middle ground, and its name is research. Inventing is, like most things in this world, something that can be learned if you put enough effort into it. We're not suggesting that anyone can necessarily teach you how to have that brain flash, that Eureka!--but you can be taught how to handle that Eureka.
"Inventors don't realize it's systematized," says Jack Lander , an inventing coach and consultant. "You can gain systematic knowledge and go out there like anything else in this world. If you just start out half-cocked and don't pay attention to [learning the system], you're likely to end up spending a lot of money and getting nowhere."
That said, we're going to take you through an A to Z of things you should know about inventing--yes, from attorneys to zipped lips. This is only an introduction to some of the things you need to know, so once you're done, check out the additional resources we've provided in this article and keep learning.

- United Airlines' first 787 Dreamliner takes flight
- Unruly pilots? Qantas grounds crew who fought in 747 cockpit
Airline fare increase gets a thumbs up from Wall Street
Customers may not like airline fare hikes, but the folks on Wall Street do. News that airlines successfully pushed through an airfare hike sent airline shares higher Monday, the Associated Press reports.
Among the Monday's gains were Southwest (up 3.4%), United parent United Continental (up 5.7%), Delta (up 3.6%) and US Airways (up 5%).
FULL STORY: Airline stocks rise on fare hikes to offset fuel
USA TODAY: Southwest raises fares; other airlines follow
Still, AP notes that other factors could have been at play.
The news agency says Monday's rise in US Airways shares comes after "the Association of Professional Flight Attendants said Sunday that the best course for American Airlines is a merger with US Airways." And AP adds "investors were also likely spurred to buy because of a flurry of stock purchases by top executives at United and Delta, signaling that insiders view the stocks as a good value and see room to grow."
As for the latest fare increase, AP notes:
"Southwest Airlines raised fares Friday on short routes by $10 per round trip, and several large airlines quickly matched the increase. The fare hike applied to flights of less than 500 miles each way, or about one-third of Southwest's routes. …"
"Southwest carries a lot of influence in fare sales because while other airlines fly more miles, Southwest carries more passengers within the U.S. than anyone. It's also the largest discount carrier by far, so it can easily impact the decisions of its competitors. Many attempts to raise prices don't stick because Southwest doesn't play along."
JP Morgan analyst Jaime Baker tells AP he expects airlines to attempt more fare hikes to help offset the rising price of fuel.

The 'Luck of the Irish' has apparently abandoned as many as 80 Irish student pilots who are now stranded in the U.S. and facing potential financial losses of as much as 80,000 Euros each. At issue is a failed contract agreement between the Pilot Training Center of Ireland and the Florida Institute of Technology Aviation and each side is blaming the other.
The students reportedly paid fees to the PTC of Waterford, Ireland for pilot training which they were to receive from the Florida Pilot Training College. However, In a statement, PTC confirmed it had terminated its contract with FIT, following what PTC said was the Florida institute's "non-performance". PTC claims it has paid for training that the students have not received. The students said a FIT representative told them that it had not received two payments due from the PTC,
Now the Irish Aviation Authority has pulled the training license of the Irish training center and the students seem to be caught in the middle.
The mother of one 19-year-old student pilot told Irelands RTÉ News that they had noticed problems with the course at an early stage.
She said her son, who does not wish to be identified, began the course in November of last year and it was 12 weeks before he was given his first flying lesson.
Each of the students reportedly paid over 84,000 Euros in four installments into a fund in Dublin for the Irish Pilot Training Center. From there the funds were to be transferred to the Florida center. PTC Executive Chairman Mike Edgeworth said: "We regret very, very much what has happened and we apologize fully to all our students. "We have been trading very successfully for ten years and our current problems are due to issues that are beyond our control".
One student, Daniel McLernon says the students have been left in the dark. "We've basically been sitting around since then doing nothing. We've been told absolutely nothing," he told Ireland's RTE News.
The IAA said in its own statement that it is aware of certain difficulties with the Florida Pilot Training College. An IAA officer is reportedly in Florida to brief the students and to explore means by which they might be able to continue their training either in Florida or back in Ireland.
Compounding the situation is the student's housing situation. One parent said her son and the others were to be evicted from their Florida housing on July 15th. The students' visas are set to expire on the 17th. PTC confirmed that all students will be accommodated in Florida until July 15 and their visas will remain valid until July 17.
PTC Executive Chairman Mike Edgeworth said it has entered into commercial negotiations with FIT to resolve the problem. As for the students' financial worries Edgeworth said 39 students who have recently enrolled in PTC should not be financially impacted and for 25 people who recently started training, he said the financial impact "should be minimal".

Volunteers and patients at the CDA Cares free dental clinic in San Jose can see on-site photos and videos from the clinic at the CDA Cares "Social Hub."
CDA staff will post photos and videos from the clinic being held at the San Jose Convention Center this weekend as they are collected onto the Social Hub. The site also features CDA's live Twitter feed. To follow all social activity on Twitter and Instagram at CDA Cares use the hashtag #cdacares.
The Social Hub also links to the "Smiles of CDA Cares" photos from CDA's Pinterest account.
The CDA Cares clinic is being held Saturday to Sunday at the San Jose Convention Center. It is expected that more than 2,000 patients will receive free oral health care thanks to the 1,500-plus volunteers helping to provide cleanings, fillings, extractions and oral health education at the two-day clinic.
The CDA Foundation and CDA developed CDA Cares to provide free dental services and oral health education to Californians who experience barriers to care and to raise awareness with the public and policymakers about the importance of good oral health and the need for a state dental director and state oral health infrastructure to support oral health.
State budget cuts eliminated virtually all adult Denti-Cal benefits in 2009, leaving more than 3 million poor, disabled and elderly Californians scrambling to find a way to receive oral health services.

I went to the cinema to see this film and the only bad graphics i could see was about a 10second window, it is so small you don't notice unless you are looking for it. This film has some of the best actors it has Hellboy and The Punisher what more could you want from a film. In short i loved this film, my whole family loved this film, my brother who is not a fan of this kinda movies loved it. Don't think of this film as a million dollar hollywood film think of it as a great actors doing a damn fine small budget film.

Apple Inc. started selling two new iPhone models in the Chinese mainland on Friday, the first time the market has been included in the company's maiden launch list, however the costumers showed less passion than before.
The retail price of the iPhone 5C in China is 4,488 yuan (728 U.S. dollars), while the iPhone 5S costs 5,288 yuan, and both the prices are much higher than their peers in markets outside the Chinese mainland.
At 07:00 there were only 20 to 30 customers waiting outside an Apple retail store at Nanjing East Road, Shanghai, and the number of security guards and sales assistants were many much than the waiting Apple fans.
The sales assistants, standing in a row, cheered and applauded to the first batch of iPhone 5S or 5C consumers .
Things seemed better in business halls for China Unicom and China Telecom, that hundreds of people could be seen waiting outside in a Telecom business hall in Guangzhou.
It is because the operators offered promotions, like two-year contracts or free cell phones with advanced phone charges.
"There are over 3,000 phones booked today in Guangzhou City, and the number is around 30,000 in Guangdong Province," said a staff of Guangzhou Telecom Business Hall.
In China, Apple is already losing market share. Apple's share of China's smartphone market fell by nearly half, from 9.1 percent to 4.8 percent, over the past year, according to research firm Canalys.
Now, Apple faces increasing competition, including Samsung Electronics, Lenovo and Huawei Technologies selling a full range of Android handsets including lower-end models.
Newcomers such as China's Xiaomi offer smartphones that run Google Inc.'s Android system for as little as 799 yuan. Some of the nation's best-selling smart phones are much cheaper than the iPhone 5C, according to computerworld.com.
In the U.S., Apple's iPhone 5C starts at 549 dollars when bought without a contract. Apple has said its products are typically priced higher in China due to currency valuation and government taxes.
Whether Apple could find new customers or just cater to the ones it already has is yet to be seem.

I ALREADY miss Southland. Can you give me any good news about renewal? – Lindsay
No renewal update here, but I have one great consolation prize for you and all of your fellow Southlanders! Above, you'll see an EXCLUSIVE First Look at Ben McKenzie's guest spot on TBS's Men at Work! (Yes, guys, it's an O.C. reunion!) In the episode, airing May 9, Tyler (Michael Cassidy) starts dating McKenzie's character's ex-wife and then things get awkward (+ hilarious). This marks the first time McKenzie and Cassidy have worked together since The O.C. Sigh.
Thanks for giving some attention to Chicago Fire, Sandra. Such an underrated show! Now, give me some Dawson scoop! – Leanne
With the triangle heating up, we WILL see a decision by the end of the season, according to executive producer Matt Olmstead. "We're definitely playing up the crescendo of the Dawson, Mills, Casey relationship — in particular how it plays out on Dawson, because she has to make a real choice. I would say she makes an unexpected one," he says.
Sandra, please tell me you have something on Elementary! We need more Moriarity scoop! – Kayla
As you know, Moriarity will finally be appearing live and in person in the season finale (as will Irene Adler!) but what will Watson be up to? "Watson will play a major part in the face-off against Moriarity," exec producer Rob Doherty teased. "[Sherlock will] need to utilize her as a support structure as he always has, but he's also going to lean more heavily on her as an investigator." Moreover, if you were expecting a cliffhanger, Doherty says it's "not likely." "Yet we're going to leave the door open to picking up certain threads in season two," he shares.
Hey! Anything for Grimm-sters? — Jordan
Chew on this like a hungry Wessen: "It's insane," David Giuntoli says of the cliffhanger. "Let's just say, one of the main characters might be dead."
I'm SO happy Supernatural is back this week. Can you give me any new info on the finale? — Anna
Well, the description for the finale released today let it slip that the boys will indeed go into "one last play" against Crowley, who is "poised to undo allthe good they've ever done as hunters." So how will it all play out? "I think you owe your fans and your audience a sense of resolution and while we know we're coming back, we're leaving certain things open," reveals Jeremy Carver. "That's sort of a generic way of saying s–t gets resolved and s–t gets cliffhanged."

But if you did and are still craving more, here's what de Pablo told me about Tony and Ziva in the following episode. "Let's say this is one of the sweetest moments we'll see because then things get messy again — as things do between these two characters," she says. "They get really nice and mushy and then they get really messed up."
So Grey's is having a super storm, huh? Well, big whoop! I just want to know that Bailey is going to be okay! Sorry, shippers, this isn't all about you! There's no Grey's without Bailey. — Loren
Um, Loren, some advise: you don't want to pick fights with shippers. And shippers, please sent all of your comments for Loren to firstname.lastname@example.com. Now, on to your question, that is also not good news, I'm afraid. When I asked Chandra Wilson if we'd all be questioning Bailey's position at the hospital by the end of the finale, she said coyly: "It is quite possible — even more than the audience questioning, she's got big ole question marks about her future." "She's been questioning things about her future anyway [since] her colleagues became her boss," she added. "It's basically her and Alex Karev who aren't invested financially. It's an interesting position for her to be in."
Anything on Revolution? — Jim
Executive producer Eric Kripke is the king of the tease, so I present his comment on the upcoming season finale, uninterrupted: "There's a pretty huge — I don't want to give anything away — but there's a series of fairly massive, seismic events that happen that will change everything for season 2. So I think it'll obviously have its same DNA and same characters but there will be new quests, new adventures, new problems and really an entirely new landscape that they have to deal with."
I haven't seen any Mindy here for a while. Can you assist, Sandra? I LOVE that show! — Elisabet
April 30's "Triathalon" is a huge treat. It marks the arrival of Chloe Sevigny as Danny's ex-wife, and she's as great as she is…unyielding. But what brings her into town is actually going to cause a riff between Danny and Morgan. Meanwhile, Mindy and her religious BF Casey are going to hit a rough patch when he brings up the big C-word…conversion!
PLEASE! I NEED Good Wife finale scoop! — Jill
SO MANY things happen in this finale. I can't even begin to describe it all. So we'll play a game: There's a ****, [Spoiler] makes a decision that will end up being a crazy secret [he/she] will share with an unexpected person, and there's a phonecall that will stop your heart mid-beat. Can't say who makes it nor the person on the other end. #thisshowisthebest
I feel like there's nothing you can tell me about tomorrow's TVD that I haven't read already. But try me. Yes, that's a challenge. — Jo
Did you know Rebeckah is the reason the gang heads to the Big Easy in the first place? In tomorrow's episode, she's going to deliver a message from Katherine (Nina Dobrev) to Klaus (Joseph Morgan) and Elijah (Daniel Gillies) that will prompt them to make the trip. "She may be the bearer of bad news or good news," hints Holt. "She's definitely going to play a role in the reason that they go on this quest."
Can you tell me about the New Girl ep with Stiles (Dylan O'Brien)? — Lauren
He SINGS! Yes, we'll learn via flashback that O'Brien's character's first encounter with Jess involved a lovely hallway serenade on a disappointing prom night. As you also may have heard, they do end up getting pretty frisky (and stuck!) in a children's play castle while trying to hook up, but I have to say, even with all that, the TRUE highlight of this episode? The big [spoiler] at the end of the episode!
