Luke Kerr October 4, 2011 General Hospital, General Hospital Spoilers, Promos & Previews, Soap Opera, Soap Opera Spoilers, TV 16 Comments Jason (Steve Burton) and Sam (Kelly Monaco) may have safely tied the knot without their wedding blowing up, but what will happen on their honeymoon? Will Franco (James Franco) do something to ruin the honeymoon of the man he's obsessed with? Watch this week's General Hospital promo after the jump! 16 Responses GHteenybopper October 4, 2011 If the rumors I'm hearing about what Franco is going to do to Sam, I will not be a happy camper…we've had way too many of those stories on gh already. I think Guza is Garin's ghostwriter. Log in to Reply js3557 October 4, 2011 I'm bored already. Have they not learned from all the other times that Franco has been on GH that he does nothing to boost the ratings? There is no point and it always involves the same handful of over-played characters. Log in to Reply tealita October 4, 2011 Something happened. Either we were sold a bill of goods, or someone chopped GW's balls off. What a sad state of affairs. Elton strikes again! Log in to Reply Mike_Dubin October 4, 2011 WHYYYYY for the love of God do they keep asking him back??? I swear this show must be asking to get cancelled! I saw some promise over the summer, briefly, but it seems we are back to where we were before… Log in to Reply mipeony October 4, 2011 I don't think Franco brings anything needed to this show. We've already got Crazy drug lord Papa Z running around loose, Greasy Lisa twitching her way back for some more of her brand of rabid bitchiness, and Helena running around Wyndemere conjuring up yet another Cassadine mystery… we don't need anymore crazy in PC. Log in to Reply GHfan-4now October 4, 2011 this is utterly preposterous. sometimes they come back my azz. it doesnt count when it's people you DGAFF about, GarDULL… Log in to Reply curacaoman October 5, 2011 Gagin, priceless! So soon ABC's line up will be the Spew, the Poop and the Gag! Log in to Reply jphelps October 5, 2011 Franco is a cult actor who has starred in a supporting role in a few hit movies. How many people went to see him in Howl – the movie was a flop. Why they keep pushing this guy like he's some super A list Brad Pitt I won't understand. Hell Jennifer Aniston would probably be more popular than this guy. And to top that they waste him on Jason. Franco does ooz sex appeal but you won't even see that on GH EVER. Why does he keep returning? Its because JFP thinks he's cool and makes GH relevent and hip. ALl he does is drag the show down and makes GH look even more ridiculous than it is. Log in to Reply liason4real October 5, 2011 Ugh. Why didn't GH make this guy Valentin Cassadine? Dark. Dangerous. Wealthy. Sexy. Valentin could have put the moves on the women of Port Charles while all of the men wanted to kill him. Log in to Reply GHdoolFan October 5, 2011 This is sad. GH is going the way of Y&R to me…as in I'm about to stop watching. It is SO boring. I understand using Franco and having him come back, but this show is just so bland. There's absolutely nothing happening. The Wyndemere stuff is the only thing that even intrigues me and I can tell that is so backburner I can miss a month and won't miss a damn thing in that storyline. The Franco/Sam rumor may be going a little too far. I long for Guza. That's bad…at least Guza was always exciting. Garin Wolf humored everyone with a couple weeks/episodes of ELQ, Quartermaines, Cassadines, Alexis, etc. It was just that, though. They have no role in his vision of GH. His vision is terrible and boring. They're bringing in so many new useless characters and making formerly exciting characters so boring. Its crazy to think that a couple of months ago I was watching 5 soaps on a daily/weekly basis. AMC is gone, for now. I had to stop watching Y&R because it has gotten so bad. GH is done for me until I see or hear something that excites me enough to tune back in. DAYS and OLTL are all that I have left right now! They're both great though. Log in to Reply sweetiepie October 5, 2011 I have never really understood the facination with Franco, the character or the actor. I don't know much about James Franco's resume, but his stint as some nutjob with a homoerotic facination with Jason does absolutely nothing for me. ITA, we have enough crazy with Papa crazy and now Dr. Lisa, crazyMD. I keep waiting for the upcoming stories to take shape, and unless I am missing something, nothing is really jelling. Btw, can anyone tell me how much longer we have to wait for Matt and Maxie to break up? It's sooo obvious. Log in to Reply alstonboy4315 October 5, 2011 James Franco is a healthy helping of sexiness, quirkiness, geekiness and weirdness, all rolled up into a very attractive package. He's educated, versatile and humble. What's not to love? GH is lucky to have him, but I do feel like Garin Wolf and JFP need to either urinate or get off the pot when it comes to many of this storyline……um, choices. GH is definitely improved, but at times it seems to be sputtering alone aloofly with no real sense of direction. Log in to Reply Cyberologist October 5, 2011 Why do they insist on Franco only being tied to Jason's storyline every time he comes why? Hello he flopped not once, not twice but three times… But do they do anything different? No. Tell me again why Gagin is so great? He's does the exact shit Guza did GH is still in training mode to accept their failures this is the only show I know that keeps doing the same failures over and over this is such a sad show… Let me guess… he kidnaps Sam (again). I'm a huge Franco fan so he's only allowed to pimp and prop bullshit angst for vanilla Jason and Sam Frons "It" couple cuz that's all they're gonna get is some badder guy to make the criminals look good. I see Jason is still coddled as the killer with a heart of gold that everyone dives under the bus to take it without lube for. Franco is a H-wood hottie (IMO) who was nominated for an academy award despite his cult movie status I'vce always liked him since Jimmy Dean and think he's cute he can be sultry for "me." Not in this crap but he can be sexy when he wants to be e.g. with Maxie. GH should have done more than just chasin Jaysin; Guza screwed up by making him way too dark (James Franco requested to play a dark character) however he shouldn't have been a friggin serial killer chasing the boringest dude on the canvas.. Many of his fans (women)I post with wanted see his cute butt with his shirt off banging some chicks they made him a misogynistic asexual a-hole. I'll take another pass. Zzzzzzz ————————— IA Liasion4real Yep he would have made a great Valentin (although I am a Matt Borlenghi fan the actor they cast for the role) he still could have been an artist and all that with pretty much the same backstory. Log in to Reply GHvetfan October 5, 2011 This is more of the same old same old. Where is the improvement? We still have Carly, Sonny, Jason, and Sam eating the show and doing the same old crap they have been doing for years. Franco is just more Jason love. There is no potential for good story unless they surprise me and kill Jason ans Sam. I would like Franco to kill Carly and Sonny after that. Log in to Reply SwanQueen59 October 5, 2011 I don't pretend to know how "guest" contracts are worked out between parties. I get the feeling this latest visit from JF/Franco(I refer to him as "The Pest"), was initialed at the end of his first(and I believe only really successful appearance), as a guaranteed gig for as long as Guza was involved. Sure, he isn't listed as the head writer in the show credits but is it possible that JF would only come back if Guza's "outline" was still being included in the overall breakdown/arc for this couple? That being said, I've posted previously that while the man is a talent, at this point I'm tired of his characters' shenanigans. Let KM and SBu do their story (difficult pregnancy or whatever), and let them do it on their merits without the "help" of an "outsider". There are more than enough talented people in the GH stable who aren't being used to fill out the canvas around them in this instance… 0:) Log in to Reply shilo0854 October 25, 2011 Since ratings are going to cause and early exit of this whole show. Kill Sam off since Frons won't allow it to go on to save it with better quality s/l's. Log in to Reply Leave a Reply Cancel Reply You must be logged in to post a comment.

Ask the Expert: Posture Workout
CINCINNATI (Liz Bonis) -- There may be another hidden health hazard to our high tech lifestyle, poor posture.
Medical reporter Liz Bonis "Asks the Experts" at TriHealth how to fix it. From cell phone neck to long hours hunched over the computer, it's pretty clear our posture is paying the price according to fitness experts.
Don Gallucci said, "I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that we are unaware. I think as the day goes on, those muscles that typically would be stable or holding us upright are now weak, atrophied, de-conditioned."
Don Gallucci is a personal trainer who says if you pay attention and do things starting with a single leg stand it forces you to practice the three steps to better posture, core strength, improving balance, and better breathing.
Whitney Mueller say she notices she's not always doing these things when she starts to slouch.
Whitney Mueller told Liz Bonis, "Oh yeah, I notice moving myself, moving my shoulders in all the time."
Railings where you work or live can also help you with exercises that improve posture. It's suggested you start with sets of ten while you breath. Some of the major core muscles involve breathing and if you are not breathing you are not going to engage those muscles.
Don suggests resistance bands as well to build core and upper body strength. You can use them around just about any railing at work or home. He says it's important to note that you don't just want to do these posture exercises. You still need to do some cardio and aerobic exercise to continue to improve that core strength. If you notice when you walk, run or use the elliptical you use that core strength or center area and you continue to breath. All are very important elements for posture.
If someone is generally just de-conditioned those muscles can become more and more de-conditioned as they keep being inactive and that's not good. So to sum it up, posture positioning requires aerobic exercise with strength training with better balance and breathing!

Brighton have signed Sam Baldock from Bristol City.
Baldock joins Albion on a four-year deal for an undisclosed fee and is the Championship side's 12th summer signing.
The 25-year-old was League One's top scorer last season, and Brighton boss Sami Hyypia said: "Sam was one of our key summer attacking targets.
"I'm delighted we have now completed the transfer and to be able to welcome him to the club.
"Alongside our existing forwards, he will give us another attacking option and we hope he will continue to score goals for Brighton.
"He's a predator, instinctive in front of goal and his career goal record is excellent. He's played and scored goals at this level, and we are confident he can be a major threat for us."
Brighton have won four of their six games this season, and Hyppia is confident he now has a squad to compete this season.
"I'm really pleased with the work we've done," he said. "We have quality and options across every position, and will allow us to rotate to cope with the demands of the Championship. "The recruitment work has been excellent and I would like to thank head of football David Burke and his team for the vital role they've played in identifying, scouting and recruiting our targets."

The Silver Drum: A Japanese Imperial Memoir - Global Oriental S. (Hardback)
by Princess Chichibu, Carmen Blacker
|Hardback 240 pages
Not in stock
Usually despatched in 4-7 days
Delivered FREE
in the UK
This is the story of a Japanese Princesss and is the first autobiography by a member of the Japanese Imperial family to be published in English. Her name was Setsuko, Princess Chichibu, who was born in England in 1909, the daughter of the Japanese Ambassador who was later transferred to Washington. At the age of 18, she was unexpectedly "urged" to marry Prince Chichibu, younger brother of Emperor Hirohito. She accepted with reluctance, they were married within the year and she was "reborn" into the isolated and archaic life of the Japanese Imperial Court. Surprisingly, it turned out to be a remarkable "fairy" story and the Prince and princess became an adoring couple, only to be parted by the premature death of the Prince in 1953. Sadly, too, their story was set in the wrong epoch. Both self-declared Anglophiles, maintaining close links with the United States, when Japan entered the Second World War they had to endure the appalling nightmare of their mother country having declared war on their adopted countries. In the post-war years, now widowed, the Princess made numerous trips to Europe in an attempt to rebuild old friendships. She was greatly loved and admired. This autobiography, written when the Princess was already over 80 years of age, is full of nostalgia and detail yet as she herself notes, "...there were some things I could not bring myself to recount".

Doc Roc Presents
Randy Rogers Band
Mike Ryan Band
Cain's Ballroom
423 N Main St.
Tulsa, OK, 74103
This event is all ages
Watch & Listen
The Randy Rogers Band built its audience by combining forces: It's a dynamic live act centered around songs that fit the rowdy, party vibe of the concert circuit, but their songs also say something. Their tracks give the listener plenty of reasons to want to down a celebratory brewski. But they also maintain a depth that makes them powerful and provocative even beyond their edgy arrangements and tough-guy sound. All this can be found on their newest album, Burning the Day!
He's is a soulful singer and songwriter with a powerful voice, stunning vocal range and some pretty tasty guitar chops. His mature voice and lived-in lyrics make one linger the first time they listen. Fortunately, for his loyal audience, he isn't going away anytime soon.
In 2010 Mike rose above 80 other competitors to win the 95.9 The Ranch Pickin' Party singer/songwriter competition, and every indication pointed to more musical success in the near future. His EP "The First One" was released that summer and produced 2 singles, "Slow Hand" and "Wont Let it Show" that reached the top 25 on the Texas Music Chart.
Educated and easy going, Mike's musical influences are as vast and varied as growing up in the internet age allows. Some favorites of his would include The Allman Brothers, The Eagles, ZZ Top The Rolling Stones, AC/DC....Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, Ray Charles, Bill Withers....Bob Dylan, Elton John, Stevie Wonder... and they continue on down the list for about a mile and a half. Some of his favorite guitar players would be SRV, Gibbons, Mayer and Paisley.
He spent his college years at the University of North Texas which gave him the opportunity to be influenced and inspired by the large, eclectic musical community there as well. Mike Ryan is a genuine guy with genius talent, and the vision to surround himself with first rate musicians to help him maintain his direction, and you can bet that when the curtains roll back they'll light up the stage.
At an early age, he's poured a strong foundation for limitless and long-standing career. The strength of his ever-expanding guitar and vocal ability, as well as the desire to organize and maintain a band of bad asses, prove he is building a career to weather any storm. When it comes to Mike Ryan, whether it's listening to recordings or seeing him live, you realize you just experienced something special. The good kind of special. And then BAM! ...he finds a place in your list of favorites. You want more. You want to do it again. Mike Ryan is the real deal in a refreshingly down-to-earth package. Sincere smile included.
Adv $20, DoS $22, Door $24, Mezz $30

12. Patterns - All the great fly patterns - Global FlyFisher
13. Patterns - All the great fly patterns - Global FlyFisher
14. Flashback Pheasant Tail Fly - This fly tying tutorial features a fantastic nymph, the Flashback Pheasant Tail fly. This bead head pattern gets down to where the fish are and has more than enough flash to attract the attention of trout. Some will vary this fly by adding a hot spot to the head, though I feel that the flashback covered in UV glue is more than ample. Feel free to post your variations of this fly; the one in this video has pheasant tail dyed olive versus the natural color. Featured in this fly tying tutorial are the W501BL wet fly hooks by Allen Fly Fishing; these are excellent hooks that are useful for a variety of patterns. Check out those hooks and more at the following link: http://www.allenflyfishing.com/w501bl-wet-fly-nymph-1xl-barbless/ Thanks for viewing the tying of this fly; feel free to leave comments/questions on this YouTube page, or email me: firstname.lastname@example.com - fly fishing video channel - Global FlyFisher
15. Montana's Hybrid Carp Fly - Created by John Montana, the Hybrid Carp Fly is one that continues to receive rave reviews as the top carp fly fished today (as evident on the http://www.flycarpin.com/). This pattern, which incorporates few materials, is easy to modify and has endless color combinations. I discuss the original pattern in my introduction, and examine some possible variations available during the tying of the Hybrid Carp Fly. This segment of fly fishing continues to grow, and be sure to check out John's website for additional information related to fly fishing for carp: http://carponthefly.blogspot.com/ Featured in this YouTube fly tying tutorial are the S201 Carp hooks by Allen Fly Fishing; you can view those hooks and many more at the following link: http://www.allenflyfishing.com/s201-streamer-carp-wide-gape-1xl/ Thanks for viewing this YouTube fly tying tutorial, and I encourage you to view my additional videos at the following website: http://www.troutandfeather.com Feel free to leave any questions/comments on this YouTube page, or you can email me: firstname.lastname@example.com - fly fishing video channel - Global FlyFisher
16. CrawBody Crayfish - In this fly tying tutorial, I demonstrate the tying methods for a fly called the CrawBody Crayfish. Representing a favorite meal of both trout and smallmouth bass, the crayfish as a pattern is intended to be fished lower in the water column, and can be utilized in both streams and lakes. There are many variations that you can make to this intermediate pattern, thus feel free to experiment and determine what works best on your local waters. Featured in this tutorial are the S402/S402BL hooks by Allen Fly Fishing (http://www.allenflyfishing.com/s402-streamer-2xl/) these hooks are perfect for this style of pattern. Also of interest to today's fly tying world are the unique CrawBody forms used, created by Flymen Fishing Company (http://flymenfishingcompany.org/products/fish-skull-products/crawbody/) they make the tying of this fly extremely easy. Thanks for viewing this tutorial; if you have any questions/comments, feel free to leave them on this YouTube page or email me: firstname.lastname@example.com - fly fishing video channel - Global FlyFisher
17. Purple Rockfish Candy Fly Tying Video - The Purple Rockfish Candy is another Pacific Saltwater fly inspired by the Bob Popovics' Surf Candy fly style. Our Pacific Bottom-fish, including Black Rockfish, have teeth and a chomping ability that can wreak havoc with our flies. The use of Fishient Fish Scale synthetic material makes it relatively straightforward to create a slim, shimmery baitfish profile with this fly. I prefer Tack Free Cure Goo versus Thick, because I like a very slim profile fly. This color combination is but one of several I have fished successfully for Black Rockfish off Oregon. This is a relatively subtle color combination and the fly is relatively long. For fly tying materials visit: CaddisFlyShop.com For more fly tying tips and videos, visit OregonFlyFishingBlog.com - fly fishing video channel - Global FlyFisher
18. Emergence Caddis Larva - The Emergence Caddis Larva is one of my favorite caddis larva patterns to tie and fish. It closely resembles John Barr's Uncased Caddis but with a few different materials and tying techniques. I am tying this pattern on an Allen Fly Fishing N202 hook. This particular hook is a down-eye, 3X-long, standard wire, slightly humped nymph /dry fly hook. It works great for caddis and terrestrial nymph and dry fly patterns. Check them out by visiting www.allenflyfishing.com This particular caddis larva pattern is tied to imitate an uncased caddis larva beginning its emergence stage of its life-cycle. I generally fish this pattern as my first fly in a tandem nymph rigging set-up between late spring and early fall. The fly gives off a lot of UV light qualities which attracts fish. The UV Fly Finish Coating provides the fly with a lot of depth. Below is a quick reference on what size brass bead to use relative to the size hook you're tying on. Allen Fly Fishing Hook Brass or Tungsten Bead Size 12 1/9" (2.8mm) Size 14 1/10" (2.4mm) Size 16 1/10" (2.4mm) To view RK's Fly Design complete fly collection Visit www.facebook.com/RKsFlyDesign - fly fishing video channel - Global FlyFisher
19. Parachute Tools Overview - During this fly tying tutorial, I chose to share some tools that are beneficial when tying the parachute post of a parachute dry fly. Though not required, parachute post tools help to make the task a lot easier and faster, two components that few can argue with. Feel free to share your own technique(s) regarding tying parachute posts, as I am positive that many additional and effective ones exist. Thanks go out to Stonfo fly fishing products for their use of these parachute tools; you can find these and many more items at the following link: http://www.stonfo.it/site/index_en Thanks for viewing this YouTube fly tying tutorial; feel free to leave any comments/questions on this page, or you can email me: firstname.lastname@example.com - fly fishing video channel - Global FlyFisher
20. Shakey Beeley Slate Drake (Isonychia) Soft Hackle - Featured in this fly tying tutorial is an absolute fish-catching soft hackle fly called the Shakey Beeley, care of Blue Ribbon Flies and Mr. Nick Nicklas. As explained in this video, there is a great story accompanying the fly, though the line between fact and fiction is a tad grey. Regardless, this pattern has earned a place in many fly boxes for its ability to imitate various insects, from emerging mayflies to drowned stoneflies. In this tutorial, I explain the techniques to tie the Shakey Beeley as an Isonychia, aka Slate Drake, plus a few methods to fish the pattern, as well. Feel free to modify this fly to match the natural insects on your home (or traveled to!) waters. Featured in this fly tying tutorial are the N202 hooks by Allen Fly Fishing; be sure to check out these hooks and many others at the following link: http://www.allenflyfishing.com/n202-nymph-dry-fly/ Additionally featured in this tutorial is hen hackle from Clearwater Hackle; please check out that hackle and many others at the following link: http://www.clearwaterhackle.com/mature-hens/ Thanks for viewing this YouTube fly tying tutorial for the Shakey Beeley; feel free to leave comments/questions on this page, or email me: email@example.com - fly fishing video channel - Global FlyFisher

DERBY ŌĆō ItŌĆÖs business as usual for WMOO-FM and WIKE-AM, even though its parent company, Nassau Broadcasting, filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy.
The bankruptcy filing includes all stations the company owns in New England, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland. ┬Ā ┬Ā
Rumors that the stations have been sold have been circulating for the past couple of weeks.
ŌĆ£ThereŌĆÖs been an offer on them, but they havenŌĆÖt been sold,ŌĆØ said general manager Michael Waggoner, ŌĆ£MOO will always be MOO.ŌĆØ
During an interview Thursday morning, Waggoner said Nassau Broadcasting is going through reorganization and itŌĆÖs financial backer, Goldman Sachs, requested a property auction to recoup some of its money. ┬Ā
ŌĆ£NassauŌĆÖs approach on this is theyŌĆÖre planning to bid on the auction too, said Waggoner. The company would like to buy back the stations at prices more fitting to the economy. ŌĆ£People made bids that were looked at and accepted by the (bankruptcy) court a week ago. Now, the owners of Nassau are bidding.ŌĆØ
In an e-mail, Waggoner stated that Vermont stations are doing well and management is seeking salespeople.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre in pretty healthy shape,ŌĆØ said Waggoner. ŌĆ£The reports of our deaths have been greatly exaggerated. We look forward to being here a long time. WeŌĆÖve been here seven years now and I donŌĆÖt see any change.ŌĆØ
Waggoner said he canŌĆÖt control what the court decides.┬Ā ┬Ā ┬Ā
Waggoner spoke very highly of the staff at the Derby stations.┬ĀŌĆ£Deveney is going to be on the air every morning,ŌĆØ Waggoner said of one announcer.┬Ā
Tom Steele put WMOO on the air in the early 1990s. Several years later, he purchased WIKE.
