Score from 991 reviews Very good
Could not have a better location. Very clean and comfortable. Excellent for the price. I 100% recommend this place.
That's a really nice hotel. Comfortable room. Clean and tidy. Nice bar downstairs.
Way too expensive. But this is Switzerland... so we've got nothing to do with it.
WiFi was excellent Location was good, lots of restaurants nearby and not far from siteseeing
Bed / pillow wasn't particularly comfortable
Very close to the station and to old town. Very helpful front staff. Wifi was fast and stable.
Guest house is in a different location, a block away from the checkin couter, and I didn't notice any instructions regarding this, so I had to go to the guest house, go back to main site for checkin, and then back to the guest house. It's not far, but I was pulling 2 heavy bags (front desk guy was very helpful though). The lift is very small, I could barely fit into that with my luggage. Place is in the middle of a Red Light District - might be a problem for some people.
It was close to the station and Old Town.
The room was small and not very welcoming.
location, garage
Super clean, great location: near shopping, restaurants and train station. Quite a large room for a decent price. Front desk staff was very helpful.
internet was spotty, and can be a bit loud at night.
Very good location in the old town. Both ladies on reception were very helpful and friendly. Good amenities, our room came with a fridge, hair dryer, good sized shower, and European and English plug sockets. We were a bit worried about the noise as the hotel is right above a bustling street, but we didn't hear a thing all night.
No BBC channels, even though they were advertised on the TV sheet provided.
locaton close railway station.
bed is too small.
Location, helpful staff.
Compact and gloomy bathroom.
All off it
Helpful staff. Extra effort for storing the bicycles in the cellar. Location quite good in the old Zurich town center
Expensive breakfast (we didn't) The 'secondary site' with no staff. Staff was only in the main site.
central location, nice staff, very simple rooms but clean
the hotel is in a party area with some strip clubs and sex shop, but not very annoying, somtimes a bit loud
good location, closed to the heart of the city. clean room. better than i was waiting.
Very friendly & helpful staff. Good location, easy walk to main train station & shopping strip. Nice hot shower. Kettle provided upon request.
Pillows were horrible & flat. Quests should be given clearer instructions when booking regarding the guesthouse location being separate to the hotel where you have to check in/check out. Quite expensive for what you get (which is limited) but I guess all of Zurich is expensive.
nice staff, room was comfy, nice bathroom. close to city center.
problem with wifi.
room + bathroom
Have to check in (and have breakfast as well) in Hotel Alexander then the staff would take you to the guest house. Only 10 mins walk from Zurich main station but took me 30 mins to figure out. Go out from the main station, go straight and cross the bridge on the river, will see a Starbucks at the intersection. Turn right to the small lane, walk down in the old town, then you can find the hotel at your left hand side (Niederdorfstrasse 40). The stone road around is not easy for a tourist carrying 17kg luggage if you get lost like I did. I checked in in the early evening and the reception didn't seem very professional. No receipt for currency change. But the gentlemen helped me carry the luggage to he guest house was nice. Guest house is simple and clean however. Better for people with longer stay but not for biz trip.
Inconvenient to check in at another place,
The place is nice and clean and the location is excellent
Unfortunately, the prostitutes gather in front of the building and it was very noisy at night. Also the bell of a nearby church sound all night long!
The location quite good but maybe hard to find by yourself because it is too small. The room is tiny but clean. Overall is good.
The lift is too small and it very hard to use if u have a big luggage
Was not really choice for this price this moment
many obsessions women prostitutes in front of the hotel. drain the water in the shower worked slowly
Convenience of the hotel to everything I wanted to do- walking distance to train station, quiet rooms but set in the centre of the old town and virtually on the walking tour route
The room was just a bit too hot
I liked the location, as it was close to the rail station and convenient for doing some sightseeing.
The beds are a bit hard for my liking!
The room was clean and had all the basics, but this really is a two star hotel. Wi-fi was decent which is a big plus. It's OK for a short term stay.
The room was outdated; the bathroom was clean but everything old; the materials in the room were cheap. Pricey for what it was, although this is Zurich. Location is central, but in red light district, although this is pretty benign in Zurich. Don't go for the overly expensive breakfast. We found a charming cafe by the water which had a generous breakfast for far less.

BEWARE WW Points Plus & smoothies
DH & I are doing WW together and I started to follow a blog which offered several smoothie recipes. Our blender went & with encouragement from DH, I bought a Vitamix to replace it (Yes I spent over $300 on a blender) We were happily have what I thought were low point smoothies by breaking down the ingredients - for e.g. 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk is only 1 its. Fruit is free etc.
When I went into WW website recipes looking for new ideas, imagine my surprise when they were showing 6-8 its for smoothies. Looked at comments after these recipes and saw half of the comments were questioning the pts.
A few people chimed in that when you "process" things, the points change ala no free fruit etc.
I am so bummed. I've been erroneously tracking and wonder what else has secret rules. How else can you track a new recipe?
Goodbye smooties - you are not filling enough for 6-8 points. Anybody want to buy a relatively new blender?

Have you still been losing weight? If so, I wouldn't worry about it. Even veggies have points if you put them in the recipe builder. I have read explanations and none of them make sense to me. Everyone has to so what works for them. For me, I figure the recipe items in individual components, if they are fruit or veggies. The only concern with fruit is to make sure you aren't eating (or drinking) too much of it. It still has sugar and calories. Just be careful, and you should be fine. This is my own personal opinion and is opposite of what I have read from many WWers.

A smoothie isn't a recipe. So don't use the recipe builder for it. Enter in each fruit to the tracker, put in your almond milk, then Save As Meal.
The official stance is that you are to eat fruits and veggies to satisfaction, and your losses are to be your guide. If you do everything else correctly, and you're doing it for a good period of time, and you're not seeing losses, THEN look to your fruit/veggie consumption. If the only iffy thing you're doing is the smoothies, THEN moderate your smoothie consumption. It IS hard to moderate your fruit/veggie portions when blending them, because they go down so much easier, so keep track of them for sure.
But no, "processing" them doesn't make them have points. After all, we cook spinach, and that is processing it, making it easier to swallow. But cooked spinach is still 0. All you add is the oils or whatever else you might use to cook it in.

Thanks for the insight. Our smoothie this AM was one whole pear, one whole banana, 1 cup of almond milk, ice, hint of vanilla & touch of cinnamon. Shared between the two of us, it seemed like 1 pt each. When I used greek yogurt instead of almond milk, I upped the pts accordingly. Maybe i'll keep the smoothies as a sometimes breakfast, when we are tired of veggie omelets or oatmeal with fruit.

Don't get rid of your Vitamix!! You can make smoothies very low cal and satisfying, just look for recipes on sites other than WW. Baby spinach is always a good add-in since it has an almost nonexistent flavor. Almond milk (unsweetened vanilla) is also great, at 30 calories a cup!!!! Add some ice, baby spinach, a banana, almond milk and frozen strawberries and that can't be more than 2 points. Runners World just had some low-cal smoothie recipes so check those out.
I love my Vitamix. It gets used daily and after owning at least 3 different blenders in my life, this one is hands down the best. I've made hummus, peanut butter, margaritas and hundreds of smoothies in that sucker.

We were talking about fruit vs juice at our meeting this morning--I'd say if you are using whole fruit and not throwing out the pulp then it's still whole fruit.

I asked about this at my meeting yesterday, and my leader responded that we should follow the recipe builder because when we consume fruit "as a liquid" it's not as filling and the calories are still there.
So here's the recipe I put in to the recipe builder:
4 ounces frozen banana
4 ounces POM juice
4 ounces Almond Breeze (vanilla, unsweetened)
6 ounces frozen strawberries
6 ounces frozen blueberries
In the past I'd calculated this to be 3 PP (PointsPlus): 2 PP for the POM juice and 1 PP for the Almond Breeze. Seemed too good to be true...
The banana went into the recipe builder first, and if I remember correctly it alone was 3PP! By the time I got through everything my 3PP fruit smoothie had turned into a 9 PP fruit smootie. I mean...what?!
I get it from the calorie perspective, but not from the PP perspective. The pocket guide has all of the fruit listed at 0 (and it doesn't say what amount we should count as 0/a serving...I'm looking at the new 360 guide) and in the Good Health Guidelines section it doesn't say exactly how to limit your fruits and veggies, just to get 5 servings per day.
This was my first experience using the recipe builder (overall I just like to write stuff out better) and I found it frustrating and sort of contradictory to what they say in the literature about fruits and veggies. Like...WHY was the banana by itself 3PP?
Overall I think I am going to experiment a bit like you guys suggested. I'm pretty bad about regularly getting fruits and veggies in (will probably add spinach to the above recipe) and feel like I need to have "dessert" each night before bed, so this smoothie was going to be a double-win for me: a way to get the fruits and veggies in and have something before bed that's not, like...a cupcake or whatever. Because the above recipe is pretty darn delicious (it's from Alton Brown).

WW's article, The truth about fruit, answered.
Notice the explanation for why the recipe builder does what it does. It doesn't know if you've input heavy cream or an artichoke.
And at the end, bottom line, let your weight loss be your guide.
I do not count fruit or 0 point veggies. I track them, but if they are 0 they are 0. I personally would NOT count points for the carrot in carrot cake that I made from scratch. Same with a fruit pie. I would count for the butter and the flour and the icing and the sugar and all that, but I personally would not count points for the fruit or veggies in such things. (again, that I made myself). I personally disagree with the "it's not 0 because then you might overindulge", because that's what counting points for the OTHER things does, is help me not overindulge.
But I DO agree with the stance in the article above.
My leader can go on with her own personal understanding of blending fruit and etc etc, but I 100% disagree, and I go by the article above.

Draft Ten Pack
Jumbo College Edition
After a focus on the Virginia/East Carolina series last weekend, this week's Draft Ten Pack returns to catching you up on early-season action across the college ranks. Steffan Segui and Ethan Purser provide notes from the southeast, while Perfect Game's Todd Gold contributes from the west coast, with thoughts on some of the top underclass arms in the country. I chip in with some national notes, including a player spotlight on an infielder who is ringing in the season with a loud offensive performance. Tomorrow, we'll have another Ten Pack on prep prospects.

Many thanks to Barret for proofreading my translation and pointing out several elementary errors I had made.
[0] While "�ق�" (star/planet) is sung in numerous parts of the song, the kanji used are always "�n��" (Earth).
[1] "Even should this planet end" is how this would be rendered going by how it's sung. I thought rendering this as "Even if the world should end" had more impact in English, plus the written lyrics ("chikyuu" [Earth] was used here again) seemed to agree with me.

10 Style Tips for Pulling Off a Mix & Match Dining Set
The mix and match dining set is a great look.

In many cases it's also a very budget friendly option, because you can use either dated, thrifted or random chairs you have around to create a look. There really are endless possibilities between mixing colors, sizes, styles, textures, etc, but here are 10 suggestions to help guide you in pulling this look together.
Budget Style: 10 Stylish Dining Chairs Under $200
If you're not one to turn up your nose at a knockoff, it's fairly easy to find stylish but inexpensive dining room chairs.

Chinese Company Buys Most of A123 Systems Assets
Published: 12-Dec-2012
Wanxiang America, the U.S. arm of a Chinese automotive parts giant, won the bidding for a bankrupt Massachusetts-based lithium battery manufacturer that was once hailed as a cornerstone of President Obama's quest for American dominance in electric vehicles and battery technology.
A123 Systems announced Sunday that Wanxiang would pay $256.6 million for all of A123's technology, its manufacturing facilities in the United States and China, and its contracts with utilities seeking grid storage and automakers seeking batteries for electric and hybrid vehicles.
Wanxiang would not acquire A123's Ann Arbor, Mich.-based government business, which includes all of its U.S. military contracts. Those would be acquired for $2.25 million by Navitas Systems, a Woodridge, Ill.-based provider of energy storage products for commercial, industrial and government agency customers.

Design Debug is an increasingly difficult and complex process. Today, engineers are required to locate design problems and process variation points on complex integrated circuits. In many ways, this is akin to locating a needle in a haystack, where the needles get smaller and the haystack gets bigger every year. Engineers are required to understand a variety of disciplines in order to effectively perform design debug. This requires knowledge of design, testing, technology, and even processing. Non-functional, partially functional devices, and low yields can lead to product introduction delays and idle manufacturing lines that can cost a company millions of dollars per day. Our industry needs competent analysts to help solve these problems. Design Debug is a 3-day course that offers detailed instruction on a variety of effective tools, as well as the overall process flow for locating and characterizing the design and/or manufacturing problem responsible for the failure. This course is designed for every manager, engineer, and technician working in the semiconductor field, designing complex integrated circuits, or supplying tools to the industry.
What Will I Learn By Taking This Class?
Participants will learn how to determine what tools and techniques should be applied and when they should be applied. This skill-building series is divided into three segments:
- Preparation for Design Debug. Participants learn the various steps required to prepare a sample for design debug. This includes physically preparing the sample and generating the appropriate layout files, schematic files, and test vectors to ensure a successful activity.
- The Debug Process. Participants learn the strengths and weaknesses of a variety of tools used for design debug, including electrical testing techniques, time-resolved emission, and other laser-based techniques such as Soft Defect Localization (SDL) and Light Assisted Device Alteration (LADA).
- Case Histories and Laboratory Experiments. Participants identify how to use their knowledge through the case histories. They learn to identify key pieces of information that allow them to determine the possible cause of failure and how to proceed. Depending on the course setting, the instructor also has the participants work through several examples to localize and characterize partially functional and non-functional ICs.
Course Objectives
- The seminar will provide participants with an in-depth understanding of the tools, techniques, and processes used in design debug.
- Participants will be able to determine how to set up a design debug analysis, ensuring that the analysis is done with the greatest probability of success.
- The seminar will identify the advantages and disadvantages of the tools and techniques used for design debug.
- The seminar offers several case histories, as well as interactive demonstrations of analysis techniques, so the analyst can get an understanding of the types of results they might expect to see with their equipment.
- Participants will be able to set up basic test patterns for debug on integrated circuits.
- Participants will be able to set up the basic layout, netlist, and schematic databases necessary for design debug.
- Participants will be able to identify appropriate tools to purchase when starting or expanding a laboratory.

Over the last 20 months, since the 2011 election the words "spy" and "scandal" and more recently the phrase "spy scandal" have become increasingly used to describe one problem or another of the day regarding privacy laws in New Zealand. Since Prime Minister John Key was re-elected to office a swag of increasingly serious and potentially damaging problems have come to the surface. The fact that they seem to be overtaking all of the other many problems in New Zealand says something about the level of concern being raised.
In January 2012 the mansion of German millionaire Kim Schmitz, who set up the Megaupload site, was raided by police acting on a tip off from the F.B.I. The raid did not have an appropriate warrant and was found to poorly executed by the Police. Mr Schmitz, better known as Kim Dotcom, started legal proceedings to clear his name. In doing so it was found that the Government Communications Security Bureau had spied on him.
The S.O.P.A. and C.I.S.P.A. Bills in the United States which are an attempt to control how people use other peoples content on the internet were next. Normally United States domestic politics and New Zealand domestic politics are two quite different beasts, but in this instance the possibility that Bills being passed through the Congress and the Senate could influence how New Zealanders access their internet half a world away, has become a source of major concern here.
The inquiry into the raid on the Dotcom mansion then raised other questions, which the Prime Minister's office denied knowing anything about. It was found that whilst Mr Key was out of the country, Acting Prime Minister Bill English had signed a G.C.S.B. warrant without informing the Prime Minister. Mr Key then told Parliament that he knew Mr Ian Fletcher, chief of the G.C.S.B., but said that he had not had anything to do with him for awhile. Mr Fletcher for his part insisted that Mr Dotcom was the only person that the G.C.S.B. had spied on.
He was not. All up 88 people were found to have been illegally spied on by the Government Communications Security Bureau. These damaging revelations caused an outpouring of protest when they were revealed. But much worse has since followed. The Prime Minister, in an attempt to show that he is in control of the Government Communications Security Bureau decided to draft new legislation that would validate the G.C.S.B. spying. Since then protest actions against the G.C.S.B. have reached rarely seen levels – in the weekend just gone thousands marched in protest actions in various locations around New Zealand.
The Dotcom scandal did not stop there. The Rebecca Kitteridge report into the scandal and the conduct of the G.C.S.B. was leaked to the media. United Future leader and then Minister for Revenue and Associate Minister for Health, Peter Dunne was implicated. When given a chance to clear himself, Mr Dunne refused to hand over all of the e-mails that had passed between him and Fairfax reporter and columnist, Andrea Vance. He was then asked to fall on his sword.
A few weeks ago when Peter Dunne resigned another scandal – and possibly the most damaging yet – blew to the surface. When Mr Dunne resigned, he did so because he was found to have been behind an unauthorized leak of confidential information. At the centre of the leak was information that was leaked to Fairfax columnist Andrea Vance. Ms Vance was subject to an inquiry by the Speaker of the House, David Carter who wanted to find out whether the leak came from Mr Dunne's office or somewhere else. In complying with an information request, Parliamentary Services made the mistake of supplying considerable information about Ms Vance's e-mails and telephone transcripts to the inquiry. Although Mr Carter has apologised to Fairfax and to Ms Vance, it would appear there may be more to the scandal than is being let on. Concerns are being raised for the first time that I can recall about the freedom of the press to do its work without undue monitoring.
If the Opposition can capitalize on this, the Government of Prime Minister John Key could come to premature end. This is possibly the most deceitful government in the history of New Zealand – scared of the media; scared of transparency; and possibly scared of the people.
Take Care,

Intel is delaying its Clover Trail chips due to the lack of release of power management software.
Next-generation Intel chips may not be available for use in devices, for now
Intel's Clover Trail tablets are not going to be available in the near future, it was revealed. Intel sent devices using the next-generation chip through certification, but hit problems due to the lack of power management firmware.
Intel can't apply power management software, according to Bloomberg. An anonymous source spoke to Bloomberg, and said the delay could have significant consequences on Windows 8. While maybe sounding dramatic, sales could be affected from the October release. The report continued, suggesting developers will have less incentive to provide touch-friendly apps if strong hardware is not released.
Clover Trail Chip Devices Scheduled For 2013
Intel unveiled a host of Windows 8 devices using the Clover Trail chip, with manufacturers including HP and Dell. A feeling is Intel isn't concerned with Clover Trail's success because it knows the chip will be late. As Gizmodo reported, Surface from Microsoft doesn't use Clover Trail despite the high-end Surface for Windows Pro device. Though it isn't released until 2013.
Microsoft is also seeing under 3,000 apps for Windows 8, though the suggestion is the company is thinking in the long-term. Whether that policy proves true, and successful assuming so, will be proven in time.
Microsoft is going to see a blend of tablets, laptops, and hybrid devices running Windows 8. While tablets and laptops will probably appeal to Modern UI and the desktop environment respectively, hybrid devices can perform both functions. Though users switching between form factors to use different halves of Windows 8 probably isn't the behaviour Microsoft designed for.
Windows 8 launches Oct. 26.

The original Star Wars trilogy really hit the nail on the head when it came to casting: farmer-boy Luke, roguish Han, hairy Chewbacca and slightly serious, not particularly sexy, certainly-not-as-hot-as-Natalie-Portman feminist icon Princess Leia.
Carrie Fisher was great in the role, but every movie needs a bit of eye candy. A conundrum in production emerged: how do you turn this woman into a smokingly hot piece of sci-fi bone bait from a galaxy far, far away?
The answer was simple but brilliant: turn her into a sex slave, strap her to a giant slug and stick her in the sexiest bikini costume thing ever known to man. Yes, the Princess Leia slave costume was nothing short of design genius. We thank you for it.
The Princess Leia Slave Costume Examined in Pictures
It would be impossible to examine the effect of the Princess Leia slave costume without the use of pictures. Of course, we will include some text to prevent this article being gratuitous, profligate and slightly infantile, but let's not kid ourselves: scantily clad sci-fi sex slaves are a visual treat, and here are some of the best images the web has to offer.
The above photo is what heaven should look like (minus Jabba, I guess, or maybe paint him white and give him a big beard). The lady in the middle of the photo demonstrates the perfect way to wear the costume. She is also incredibly hot.
By now, you have probably realized that this is not quite an examination in the academic sense of the word. It's more like a gratuitous, profligate and slightly infantile excuse to show pictures of hot women in Princess Leia slave costumes. Good, let's continue. Above and to the left we have the erotically crouching form of Haydn Porter, a bisexual Playboy model from Tulsa, Oklahoma. Boy… oh… boy. To her right stands the statuesque Olivia Munn. I've never heard of her myself, but apparently she's an "American comedic actress, model, television personality and author" (Wikipedia, love it). Whatever, she gets a big thumbs up for her total worthiness as a sex slave. I want one.
Above left is another image of the delightful Olivia Munn, this time reclining in a provocative manner. The image to the right, meanwhile, sets the stage for two new beauties that seem to appear all over the web dressed in the unfathomably sexy Princess Leia slavegirl bikini. We'll start with the one on the left…
I'm not sure who she is, but I think I love her. I doubt if anyone is actually reading these little bits of text, so I'll take the opportunity to send a quick message – Dear girl above in the Leia costume, please contact me and tell me your name. If you are free sometime, maybe we could go grab some chicken and a few beers. Maybe later we could marry. Thanks. Good, let's move on to the other girl in the picture…
Above, we have Princess Leia slave costume specialist Christy Marie. Nice. There are pictures of her dressed as Leia all over the internet, which is kind of cool. Smokin'.
Above from left to right: A towering, pale-skinned, flame-haired Leia accompanied by a complete asshat goofbag dressed as Luke Skywalker; a cute and smiling Leia accompanied by another fat Boba Fett; a shy-looking Leia with a slightly strange expression (is she trying to look tough, or has her boyfriend forced her to dress up against her will? Perhaps we'll never know). Well, that's it for now, but we'll leave you with one final group shot of a sea of women dressed in the Princess Leia slave costume (yeah, I know, you want to see it in greater detail).

Which Fancy Jumpsuit Is Best?
I don't mess with rompers for fear I'll look like a Disney tween star on her way to The Coffee Bean, but jumpsuits I like. Whether they're the sleek, strapless Givenchy and Lanvin kind or the more blousy '70s versions doesn't matter; I'm into them both.
As far as the ones at left, though, I'm not sure which Studio 54-worthy jumpsuit I'm more into. They share a plunging V-neck, elbow-length sleeves, cinched waist and silky black fabric. But beyond a definite "splurge" label, their price tags have little in common. The Hugo Boss jumpsuit (on the left) is $695 while the Hakaan one (on the right) is a cool $1,810.
Of course, both jumpsuits are still really, really expensive, but it's far from splitting hairs. For the price of the Hakaan jumpsuit, you could have the Hugo Boss version and all the items in the slideshow below. And still have enough cash left over for both a Jerry Hall-like blowout and a bottle of Moroccan oil. Which would you choose?
Hakaan's "Lali" jumpsuit: $1,810
BOSS Black by Hugo Boss' "Demira" jumpsuit, plus all of this: $1,739

Michelle Borth Promoted to Series Regular on Hawaii Five-0by TV Fanatic Staff at . Comments
Things are about to get even hotter in Hawaii.
Michelle Borth, who has recurred on Hawaii Five-0 as Lt. Catherine Rollings over the last two seasons, has been promoted to series regular, Deadline confirms. It's unknown at this time exactly what prompts the character to stick around, or what her status will be with love interest Steve McGarrett, but the promotion kicks in this fall.
Hawaii Five-0 is on a break and will return with a new, serial-killer based episode on April 9.
@amazingalex.... I did the same today reading the tweets especially from Craig Robert Young who is filming in Hawaii just as the guys from NCIS LA. sofar I can see he still didn't confrim Alex is back on the set we only get BTS from Cullen, Chin and Danny and it seems to me Danny is leading again! I am getting really worried about Alex now this is not a good sig. What also is weird they had said in the oress that filming would start next week! and now it seems they are already on day 2 of the crossover!
I dont know the more I am reading tweets the less I think alex is on set. Isnt it a bit strange that danny is the one in the finale who is spoken of in the spoiler?? Plus he is the one who is approached from the informant?? All the pics posted of this episode are mainly of scott. I am starting to worry again. Maybe alex isnt back after all. It seems danny is leading the team again. I guess I have to just wait to watch to see if steve mcg is in these episodes afterall. I guess if he isnt it is best for alex. :(
@zia -- They are currently filming the Hawaii part of the crossover, I believe that filming of the LA part was finished over a week ago. Both LL Cool J and Chris O'Donnell are currently in Hawaii filming their scenes.
@Diana......thanks, I watch NCIS LA, but did not see a picture of this guy who was tweeting, and did not know the name of the actor. So they are still filming 2.21, which is the first part of the crossover. I did not realize that the Comescu family from NCIS LA was part of this. I guess since it starts in Hawaii, thats what brings Callen and Sam to Hawaii where they meet with 5-0. Now I'm getting a clearer picture. Those who do not watch NCIS LA would not know that. Thanks for clarifying.
@diana..thank you. I had a feeling I was missing something. I tried to figure out who he was because it seemed he was known on set. I dont watch NCIS LA so thank you so much for this characters backstory. I will need to know all of this to understand the crossover. I am finding it a bit confusing. This helps alot so thanks again. :)
@amazingalex -- FYI Craig Robert Young isn't playing a cop. He is reprising his role from NCIS:LA where he played Dracul Comescu in two of their episodes. One being the season finale last season and the other being the season premiere for this season of NCIS:LA. And just so you know the Comescu family is a Romanian Crime family that has a major beef with G. Callen's family and as such has been trying to kill Callen since he was a child. They even went so far as to have shot Hetty during NCIS:LA season finale last year.
Someone tweeted PLenkov and asked if Wofat was in the finale, and he tweeted back that he was in 2.22. So the spoiler that HFO copied was for 2.22 and not the finale that I thought of when I read that. OK, so I guess who ever is being knocked off has nothing to do with Wofat and the Yakuza, unles 2.22 has a carry over for finale. Wow, all sorts of things going through my mind.
Craig Robert Young who is filming 2.22 (he is an actor playing a cop in this episode) has been tweeting bts pictures and tweeting about the episode. He finally answered the many alex fans who asked if alex was there and he said yes. (He has been ignoring the question for days.) Phew!! I was getting worried because all his pics are of DDK and Scott but none of alex. I am thinking they are trying to keep alex's privacy. I am so glad he is back. I am not going to speculate about who is gonna die, I am just going to wait and see. But still really happy catherine is back!
Jschoi....exactly, I agree, they said Lori was going to be a new team member appointed by the governor, they have not said that about Catherine being on the team. She is still in the Navy and it keeps their connection with the military since Joe will be gone and Steve is a reservist not on active duty.
They refer to Michelle as reprising her role as Lt. Catherine Rollins.
I have to agree that Steve/Kono should be nothing more then boss/employee. People think that because Grace Park is older, that the character she portrays is older. She is only out of the academy by a couple of years which would make her around 24, McG is 36. Kono calls him boss. Steve is involved with Catherine. Hopefully Kono will get involved with someone and this will go away. I don't think people need to be concerned that the Steve/Catherine relationship will be the focus of the show. The show is about the task force and the McG family history which is how it was formed as 5-0. Just because Michelle will be a regular does not mean that every scene will be her in Steve's bed. Give the writers some common sense and credit. This is about the team, they are portraying human beings, so relationships outside of 5-0 should be shown, but how often do we see Malia, Grace, Rachel, or Gabby. They have stories, but they don't take over the show.

Click the image to the left for an article about Marilyn Lord, the Chair of History at Kimball Union Academy in New Hampshire and a NAIS Teacher of the Future. She has been using video games as part of her curriculum for almost ten years.
Gaming as a teaching method is not only gaining acceptance, but many believe it is the wave of the future. The statistics for the amount of time teens spend playing video games are staggering. Imagine if those games were connected to pedagogically sound curriculum.
I asked Lyn to post on this blog about her experiences with gaming in the classroom, but at the moment she is busy with a series of interviews arranged by 2K / Firaxis ending with the Wall Street Journal! They plan on sending a reporter to spend a day in the her class.
If you'd like to learn more, please see Family Friendly Gaming Interview and Lyn's video on Teachertube that describes the initial process of Civ.
Congratulations Lyn, I look forward to hearing more in the upcoming

In past versions of Project, users have sometimes been bewildered by how Project automatically performs scheduling calculations. This article demystifies the complexities of the Project scheduling engine.
This article also introduces a new scheduling method at your disposal. Welcome to manually scheduled tasks. With manually scheduled tasks, Project 2010 provides the project manager even more control over the schedule.
Project 2010 introduces a new mode that gives users complete control over how tasks are scheduled — manual scheduling. Let's look at this more closely so that you don't miss any key features.
Project can schedule tasks using two methods: manual scheduling and automatic scheduling With manual scheduling, changes to factors such as task dependencies, constraints, and project calendars do not automatically adjust task dates.
Note .Tasks are manually scheduled by default. Project managers who are accustomed to automatic scheduling with past versions of Project can turn the manual scheduling feature off for specific tasks or for the entire project. Some projects, especially complicated ones, may require Project's powerful scheduling engine to take care of scheduling for you.
You can place a manually scheduled task placed anywhere in your schedule, and Project won't move it. This new feature gives you greater flexibility and control over planning and managing their schedule.
Why would you care? Well, at times project schedules are often very informal. They begin as simple lists of dates from e-mails, meeting with stakeholders, or a hallway conversation. Project managers very often do not have complete information on work items. For example, they may only be aware of when a task needs to be started, but not its duration until they have an estimate from their team members. Also, they may know how long a task will take, but they do not know it can be started until they have approval from the resource manager.
Here are some things to keep in mind with manually scheduled tasks.
The following table shows how Project attributes are defined and used for scheduling manually and automatically scheduled tasks.
Automatically scheduled tasks are the classic way Project schedules your tasks. Automatic scheduling provides a highly structured, systematic means of managing project schedules. Based on users' input, such as task duration, planned work, number of resources, and constraint dates, Project calculates the earliest and latest dates for tasks for the optimal schedule.
Project schedules a project from the information that you enter about the following:
If anything about your project changes after you create your schedule, you can update the tasks or resources and Project adjusts the schedule for you.
For each task, you might enter one or all of the following:
Using this information, Project calculates the start date (start date: The date when a task is scheduled to begin. This date is based on the duration, calendars, and constraints of predecessor and successor tasks. A task's start date is also based on its own calendars and constraints.) and finish date (finish date: The date that a task is scheduled to be completed. This date is based on the task's start date, duration, calendars, predecessor dates, task dependencies, and constraints.) for each task.
You can enter resources in your project and then assign them to tasks to indicate which resource is responsible for completing each assignment (assignment: A specific resource that is assigned to a particular task.). Not only does this help you plan project staffing, it can also help you to calculate the number of machines needed or the quantity of material to be consumed. If you enter resources, task schedules are further refined according to the following resource information:
Other elements, such as lead time (lead time: An overlap between tasks that have a dependency. For example, if a task can start when its predecessor is half-finished, you can specify a finish-to-start dependency with a lead time of 50 percent for its successor [has a negative lag value].) and lag time (lag time: A delay between tasks that have a dependency. For example, if you need a two-day delay between the finish of one task and the start of another, you can establish a finish-to-start dependency and specify a two-day lag time [has a positive value].), task types (task type: A characterization of a task based on which aspect of the task is fixed and which aspects are variable. There are three task types: Fixed Units, Fixed Work, and Fixed Duration. The default task type in Project is Fixed Units.), resource availability (availability: Indicates when and how much of a resource's time can be scheduled for assigned work. Availability is determined by project and resource calendars, resource start and finish dates, or the level at which the resource is available for work.), and the driving resource (driving resource: The resource whose assignment to a task determines the finish date of the task.), can affect scheduling, so understanding the effects of these elements can help you to maintain and adjust your schedule as needed.
Note Project calculates the duration of automatically scheduled tasks based on the definitions of the duration units on the Calendar tab of the Options dialog box. Just like a normal monthly calendar, the year begins in January and each week begins on Sunday or Monday. By default, when Project calculates duration units, one day equals 8 hours, one week equals 40 hours, and one month equals 20 working days. If you enter start and finish dates for tasks and don't enter start and finish times, Project uses 8:00 A.M. as the default start time and 5:00 P.M. as the default end time.
You can change a task's scheduling back and forth from automatic to manual. When you change task modes, keep the following in mind.
Top of Page
If you enter a start date for the project, by default, Project schedules tasks to begin on the project's start date and calculates the project's finish date (finish date: The date that a task is scheduled to be completed. This date is based on the task's start date, duration, calendars, predecessor dates, task dependencies, and constraints.) based on the last task to finish.
For automatically scheduled tasks, as you enter more information about tasks, such as task dependencies, durations, and constraints, Project adjusts the schedule to reflect more accurate dates for tasks.
Note Manually scheduled tasks will not be moved if the project start date changes.
When you create a new project, you first enter the project's start date. When you schedule a project from the start date, all tasks start at the project start date unless you specify otherwise.
For both manually scheduled tasks and automatically scheduled tasks, with no task dependencies or constraints applied, the project's duration is the same as the duration of the longest task. In other words, the project finish date is the same as the longest task's finish date.
Task dependencies, such as the finish-to-start dependency between the first and second tasks (as shown here), can change the project's finish date.
Nearly all projects should be scheduled from a known start date. Even if you know the date that a project must be completed, scheduling from a start date gives you maximum flexibility.
However, you might want to schedule from a finish date when:
As you work with your project that is scheduled from a finish date, be aware of differences in the way that Project handles some actions:
When you need to control the start or finish date of an automatically schedule task, you can change the constraint on the task. Flexible constraints (flexible constraint: A constraint that is flexible and does not tie a task to a single date. Flexible constraints are As Soon As Possible, As Late As Possible, Finish No Earlier Than, Finish No Later Than, Start No Earlier Than, and Start No Later Than.) work with task dependencies to make a task occur as soon or as late as the task dependency will allow. For example, a task with an As Soon As Possible (ASAP) constraint and a finish-to-start dependency will be scheduled as soon as the predecessor task finishes. By default, all tasks in a project that is scheduled from the start date have the ASAP constraint applied. Likewise, by default, all tasks in a project that is scheduled from the finish date have the As Late As Possible (ALAP) constraint applied.
Note Manually scheduled tasks are not affected by task constraints. If you change a task scheduling mode from manually scheduled to automatically scheduled, the task constraint will be set to As Late as Possible (ALAP).
Constraints with moderate scheduling flexibility will restrict a task from starting or finishing before or after a date you choose. For example, a task with a Start No Earlier Than (SNET) constraint for June 15 and a finish-to-start dependency to another task can begin June 15 if its predecessor is finished by June 15 (or later if its predecessor finishes after June 15), but it can't be scheduled before June 15.
With the default finish-to-start task relationship and an ASAP constraint applied to these tasks, the successor task (the second one) is scheduled to begin as soon as the predecessor task (the first one) is scheduled to finish.
With a SNET constraint applied, the successor task cannot begin before the constraint date, even if (as shown here) the predecessor task is completed before the constraint date.
Inflexible constraints (inflexible constraint: A constraint that is inflexible because it ties a task to a date. The inflexible constraints are Must Finish On and Must Start On.) override any task dependencies by default and restrict a task to a date you choose. For example, a task with a Must Start On (MSO) constraint for September 30 and a finish-to-start dependency to another task will always be scheduled for September 30 no matter whether its predecessor finishes early or late.
If a task that is constrained to a date has a predecessor that finishes too late for the successor to begin on the date specified in the constraint, negative slack (slack: The amount of time that a task can slip before it affects another task or the project's finish date. Free slack is how much a task can slip before it delays another task. Total slack is how much a task can slip before it delays the project.) can occur.
To review or change the constraint on a task, right-click on the task, click Task Information , and then click the Advanced tab. Constraint information is in the Constraint type and Constraint date boxes.
Deadline dates (deadline: A target date indicating when you want a task to be completed. If the deadline date passes and the task is not completed, Project displays an indicator.) don't usually affect task scheduling. They are used to indicate a target date you don't want to miss, without requiring you to set a task constraint that could affect scheduling if predecessor (predecessor: A task that must start or finish before another task can start or finish.) tasks change. A task with a deadline is scheduled just like any other task, but when a task finishes after its deadline, Project displays a task indicator (indicators: Small icons representing information for a task or resource that are displayed in the Indicators field. The Indicators field is located to the right of the ID field and appears in a number of tables.) notifying you that the task missed its deadline.
Deadline dates can affect the total slack on tasks. If you enter a deadline date before the end of the task's total slack, total slack will be recalculated by using the deadline date rather than the task's late finish date. The task becomes critical if the total slack reaches zero.
You can set deadlines for summary tasks (summary task: A task that is made up of subtasks and summarizes those subtasks. Use outlining to create summary tasks. Project automatically determines summary task information [such as duration and cost] by using information from the subtasks.) as well as individual tasks. If the summary task's deadline conflicts with any of the subtasks (subtask: A task that is part of a summary task. The subtask information is consolidated into the summary task. You can designate subtasks by using the Project outlining feature.), the deadline indicator signifies a missed deadline among the subtasks.
But deadline dates can affect how tasks are scheduled if you set a deadline date on a task with an As Late As Possible (ALAP) constraint. The task is scheduled to finish on the deadline date, though the task could still finish after its deadline if its predecessors slipped.
To review or change a task deadline, right-click on the task, click Task Information, and then click the Advanced tab. Use the Deadline box.
Calendars determine the standard working time (working time: Hours designated in a resource or project calendar during which work can occur.) and nonworking time (nonworking time: Hours or days designated in a resource or project calendar when Project should not schedule tasks because work is not done. Nonworking time can include lunch breaks, weekends, and holidays, for example.), such as weekends and holidays, for the project.
Note Manually scheduled tasks are not affected by project or resource calendars.
Project calendars are used to determine the resource availability, how resources that are assigned to tasks are scheduled, and how the tasks themselves are scheduled. Project and task calendars are used in scheduling the tasks, and if resources are assigned to tasks, resource calendars are used as well.
The calendars referred to in Project are:
To work with calendars, click the Project tab, and then click Change Working Time.
If you don't assign resources to tasks in your project, Project calculates the schedule using durations, task dependencies, constraints, and project and task calendar information. If you do assign resources, the tasks are also scheduled according to resources' calendars and assignment units (assignment units: The percentage of a work resource's time, or units, that the resource is assigned to a task.), providing for more accurate scheduling.
Note Manually scheduled tasks are not affected by resource calendars. When a resource is assigned to a manually scheduled task, the scheduling of the task will not change.
An assignment is the association of a specific task with a specific resource that is responsible for completing the task. More than one resource can be assigned to a task. Work resources (work resource: People and equipment resources that perform work to accomplish a task. Work resources consume time [hours or days] to accomplish tasks.), material resources (material resource: The supplies or other consumable items that are used to complete tasks in a project.), and cost resources (cost resources: Resources that don't depend on the amount of work on a task or the duration of a task, such as airfare or lodging.) can be assigned to tasks. Unlike work resources, assigning material resources or cost resources to a task does not affect task scheduling.
For example, in your project you have a task named Develop specifications. You also have an engineering resource, Sean. If you assign Sean to the Develop specifications task, the scheduling of this task depends on Sean's resource calendar and assignment units, in addition to task information such as duration, task dependencies, constraints, and calendars.
In addition to scheduling according to task information, after you assign resources to the tasks in your project, Project has additional resource and assignment information to use in calculating schedule information, including:
Note Manually scheduled tasks cannot be set to effort-driven. The duration of a manually scheduled task will not change as resources are assigned to it.
To assign resources to tasks, click the Resource tab, and then click Assign Resources .

The French leadership originally planned to withdraw the troops in March but the mission was extended in late February amid tougher than expected resistance from Islamic fighters.
The troops were sent in January 2012 as a response to the threat posed by al-Qaeda-linked militants, who had controlled Mali's northern region since April 2012.
The military operation directed against the Islamist insurgents has thus far been successful and has prevented the rebels from reaching the capital, Bamako. French troops were supported by thousands of troops deployed by the African Union forces.

But it crystallized that idea of isolation—it was chilling to watch.
And I tell you, it's actually disturbing to do it. When we went to Nimes, we did it, and then we did Sounddance afterwards. It was like absolutely schizo—crazy. It was good to, you know, get out of it. But definitely it was depressing. I would come up out after that and sit on the side and watch Antic Meet, and all I would do is just record the laughter. How many times people would laugh. If it was a chuckle, if it was a guffaw, because I just had to giggle myself. So this is a culmination. I took a chance, I took a risk. I thought people should see it.
Especially now.
Because of the death?
Well, because of the death and the Legacy Tour.
Oh yeah. The endgame. Yeah, well, I'll tell you, when we did Second Hand, I started to feel queasy about it, because Merce was deteriorating. And this piece really was about saying goodbye. Second Hand really is about that. And of course even when we were doing it—I brought Sandy [Sandra Neels] up to do it. Again, we worked in the workshop with the students, with the RUGs, and then we transferred it. We did it without the music. We didn't know what the cues were yet, we were just trying to get the movement. But the piece definitely spoke to me, even without music. You could see the melancholy in the dance, and that was sublime to me. I thought, Oh my God, people have to see this. I mean, granted, it's a vehicle for me; I'm glad I have it, and the solo is quite amazing. [Pauses] I'm lucky. I'm still here. Work is there. Take advantage of it and do it, because this should be seen. I don't know if you went to the memorial [for Cunningham at the Park Avenue Armory]. I said, "It has to start with that section." That's Merce saying goodbye to all his disciples. And I'm glad we did it. We're not going to do it at the end at all.
No way. It's going to be totally different. We're not going to do any of the old things we usually do. No "fast dance" [from Scramble]. We're not going to do what we've been doing. We're going to do a lot of new stuff. Well, we'll do some old stuff, too. I mean, it's all old, but we'll do some stuff that people haven't done. Everybody will have new things to do.
Can you talk about what's happening with the school?
There were issues. It's a complicated situation because I'm both an employee of the Foundation and I'm also on the Merce Cunningham Trust, and their mandate did not include staying at Westbeth. My desire and initial goal was to stay there. I was permitted to try to find a way to do that, but I was unsuccessful. The logical thing was to try to create a relationship with a university. I wrote to different universities, trying to interest them in becoming our partner here at Westbeth. There was some interest in terms of Merce's legacy, but the logistics were difficult for them financially. Then I spoke to administrators of Trisha Brown's company and of the Jos Limn company. Each company has a similar problem. They have their office in one place, classes in another place and rehearsals in yet another. Unfortunately, everybody wants and needs the same hours. Trisha Brown's company was interested to rent by the hour, but neither group has the money to really finance this entire operation. It's quite expensive.
What happened?
I was in my office at Westbeth working late one night, and one of the students at the front desk asked, "What are you doing?" I said, "I'm writing letters to people at universities to try to create a partnership." She had heard a rumor that the training programs at the studio were going to come to an end. And I told her that the Foundation had planned to discontinue them as part of their timetable for closure. And then she told the other students, and they organized a committee, Students for Cunningham. They petitioned the Trust to create a Merce Cunningham Center at Westbeth, and they assembled 4,500 signatures. The students had prepared a huge book of all the signatures and all the letters they had received in support and presented it to the Trust. The Trust responded that it welcomed the students' efforts, but that it hadn't the resources to finance the Studio at Westbeth in a way that the Foundation had operated while Merce was alive and there was a company. I understand why they are closing the company and the Studio. There are definitely financial reasons for doing so, and there could be artistic reasons for doing it, too. I think without Merce being here, we definitely lack something. Without his new work and the financial support that came with that, there was bound to be difficulty. But, in the meantime, we have maintained his spirit and his dances pretty well. Even though for the last years of his life Merce was unable to tour and to participate fully in all aspects of the daily rehearsals, he was still present and motivated to make his dances. So, I understand that without him the Legacy Plan had to be implemented. Merce loved to come to his studio. He was dedicated to teaching his technique, even though he sometimes remarked that he hated doing so. It was a very important part of his life. The process of working every day, training dancers and creating work with them was part of his life. It's a dancer's life. So I'm sure he was conflicted in some way as to what would happen when he was no longer with us.
So it made sense that he did agree with what the Board and the administration had come up with, which was an earthshaking, precedent-setting idea. But, it created a lot more interest in Merce's work. I have to say that the Foundation has done a great job implementing the Legacy Plan. Throughout all this, I continued to work to try to maintain Westbeth. I tried to interest film people in it, to turn it into a center for film dance—a Silvercup of dance. [Laughs] It was a great idea, but it didn't go anywhere. Eventually I just wore out. Trish Lent took up the mantle and wrote a terrific proposal for [creating a] Merce Cunningham Center that would not necessarily have to be at Westbeth, but we realized it, too, would always have a shortfall financially. We made a budget; we tried to imagine that we would have higher enrollment and that we would create more income from the rentals and this and that, but it still would be financially risky. It would basically require the formation of another nonprofit organization. and that would require a Board and fund-raising. It would require all those things that we're stopping. It's ironic, because the company looks great now. In terms of working together it's one of the better ones of all the companies I've been in. The dancers are terrific. And you know, somehow we have kept our focus together and Merce's spirit alive. I feel fortunate that I'll continue to be employed and be able to go on sharing Merce's work. It will be very different though, because I won't have a dance company to be part of and, for the last years, lead anymore. But, I am looking forward to find other things to do with the work and to continue to teach it. Also, I'll be doing projects—licensing projects, staging pieces and teaching people to do what I do. For the past year, I have had an assistant, Jennifer Goggans, and we will continue working together to teach Merce's technique and his dances. To be quite honest, I'm concerned because I'm not young anymore. I'm 61 now. Can I continue to do this? How long am I going to last? This is a tremendous legacy. The only reason I came into it was because I wanted to. I was interested in it. And then Merce gave me an opportunity.
For you, this is a fulfillment and not sacrifice?
Definitely. I don't know if this kind of devotion to one approach is possible in the society we live in nowadays. People are interested in many other things. And Merce isn't here anymore, and I'm not Merce. But there's a trove, a treasure that he has left behind, and there's still plenty to learn from and with it. It's not just about learning the work. There's also a process to build on in order to accomplish it. The way we work here is that we all share an experience with the training that Merce provided; we all work together as a community. When I give the steps to the dancers, I try to give it to them in a way that allows their freedom. I don't want to give it to them and say, "Well, this is it, and it has to be this way only." That's not how we were accustomed to working with Merce. There's a big openness, and to create that can be difficult. When you give the steps to someone the first time and you demonstrate it, it can appear to be almost finite. That initial impression sticks in their head. But it's actually more intangible than that, and we need to provide room for that to develop. That's what I'd like to be able to maintain—that kind of approach. My real concern is to provide a means for enough people to do it, so that it inspires somebody, another person like me who wants and needs to do it no matter what.
You have to find another you.
Or you have to find a person that has that need. Or can find the fulfillment in it. I hope it's possible. Another opportunity has presented itself in the form of the classes we will hold at the City Center studio starting in April. It's a fresh start, or as Merce would say, "We begin again."

Sample Report
Opening Reception April 27th 6-8pm
Jim Kempner Fine Art is very pleased to announce Tables and Chairs, an exhibition of new mixed media still-life works on paper by Jerry Mischak.
This will be the artist's third solo exhibition at the gallery. Curated by gallery director Dru Arstark, Tables and Chairs opens on April 27th and will be up through June 1st. A reception for the artist will be held on Saturday, April 27th from 6-8.
In this new series, Tables and Chairs, Mischak presents a modern spin on the traditional still-life motif. Images are composed of oil stick, irregular shapes of colored duct-tape and individual strokes of paint. These elements are collaged in a mosaic fashion to evoke an energized atmosphere. Sizes range from an intimate 12 by 16 inch single couch portrait, to an enveloping 8 by 6 foot table setting.
Known for his colorful duct-taped–wrapped sculptures and collages, Tables and Chairs incorporates similar materials, but focuses on the table as a site prepared for everyday ritual. Spawned from a 2010 exhibition at Industry Gallery in Washington, DC titled Din Din, Mischak built a 36-foot table, covered in a collection of dinnerware encased completely in duct tape. The objects amassed included vases, plates, utensils, bottles, and cell-phones.
Jerry Mischak lives and works in Providence, Rhode Island. Mischak's 2012 solo exhibitions include: Follow the Leak", Milstein Hall Gallery, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY; "Call It A Day" installation, Art Live Miami, Miami, FL; "Castillo de Pepino," Sala de Exposiciones de la Fundacion Comillas, Spain; "Fifteen Drawings," Corridor Gallery, University of Rhode Island, Kingston, RI. Recent group exhibitions included "Biennial Faculty Exhibition." Museum of Art Rhode Island School of Design and "Drawing Matters," Chazan Gallery, Providence, RI in 2013; "Bling," curated by Dru Astark at Jim Kempner Fine Art, New York, NY and "Faculty Show," University of Rhode Island, Kingston, RI.
For further information, please contact Dru Arstark at email@example.com or Sarah Bielicky at email@example.com.

Viki and Dorian
Viki and Dorian ~Grande Dames of Llanview~
Dorian vs. Viki
For decades, Viki has been One Life to Live's primary heroine, with Dorian as the primary villainess. The two have feuded about almost everything, stemming largely from Viki's contention that Dorian had something to do with her father's death. However, it was later proven that Dorian had had nothing to do with Victor Lord's death, but Viki, in one of her alters, (she has Dissociative Identity Disorder) had killed him to prevent him from sexually abusing her again. In fact, it was Dorian herself who had told her that Victor had been sexually abusing her. In August 2007, Dorian made the startling (and vague) claim that she had actually killed Victor after all. Having planted a seed of doubt in Viki's mind, she refused to elaborate.
Sometimes, however, the feuding rivals often have helped one another in a crisis, such as with Viki's breast cancer, and her heart transplant. (For that, Viki extended to Dorian the job of Chief of Staff at Llanview Hospital.)
One very good example was when the two of them were trapped in an avalanche. Dorian confessed to her arch-rival that she was claustrophobic. And Viki never left her side for a second. This, once again, bonded the two women.
However, despite many truces, the two women are considered frenemies. One minute, the two would be at one another's throats about something, and the next, they would team up against a common enemy, such as Echo DiSavoy, whom both Dorian and Viki have good reason to dislike. Dorian, although Viki would perhaps be loath to admit it, has shown that, in her own way, she does have some care and compassion for Viki. Viki and Dorian have shown that they are more alike than either one would care to admit.
Viki dislikes Echo for destroying her marriages to Clint and Charlie; and Dorian despises Echo for her blackmailing Clint to lie about Charlie being the father of Rex Balsom and the grandfather of Shane Morasco, when, in reality, it was Clint who was the father of Rex and the grandfather of Shane. This is perhaps their biggest truce to date.
Dorian, at some times, often stokes the flames of the feud, to try to get Viki rattled. Examples included Dorian seducing Viki's son, Joey Buchanan; and framing Viki for embezzlement, when Dorian herself had done the dirty deed.
