One of my Spark Teams is Before The Landfill - Crafty Recyclers. Last month someone suggested we make "inchies" and trade them. I had never heard of these before but I'm all about trying new things this year so I said why not. THEN I asked what are they? My brain doesn't always work in forward order.
Inchies are little 1 inch squares that you decorate however your fancy strikes. Being somewhat of a control freak I wanted instructions...in color and triplicate. There are none. Not being very crafty or creative in general I obsessed...was I doing them wrong, what should they look like, are they supposed to be themed, what kind of materials was I supposed to use, etc. Somehow I got them done on time and mailed:
Some of my Inchies that I kept:
Yesterday I got my SASE in the mail with my traded Inchies from my Spark Friends & Teammates, which are most cool & awesome!
Despite the stress ( I REALLY need instructions for this kind of thing! LOL!) this was fun and I"d be willing to do again.
We've had a lot of rain here so far this spring. It makes me ache, nothing OTC really makes it stop, just sometimes dulls the edge a bit. I will be so glad when we're past the "rainy season" and into summer. Plus strength training is using muscles I had only heard rumors of but have now discovered that I do, in fact, possess. They are sore, but this is a good sore and I know won't last long. I do wish I had a hot tub or jacuzzi to soak in though *sigh*.
For the last month I have felt like a yo-yo with the scale...it goes down, then up, then down, then up. The overall trend is still downward but...darn-it! go down & STAY down. I've been within fractions of a pound of meeting the 40 lb goal and I gain a pound or 2 back the next day. The Scale Gremlins are taking pot shots at me and I'm going to have to go root them out and compost them soon if they keep it up.
I have an armoir instead of a dresser and all my clothes are rolled up in baskets inside. I had 2 baskets overflowing with t-shirts and 1 of exercise pants - sweats, yoga pants, etc. So today I went through those baskets to purge what no longer fit and came across the Chuck Norris shirt I had bought for my son last year but he didn't want.
It is a list of things you need to know about Chuck Norris:
Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits.
Chuck Norris doesn't cheat death. He wins fair & square.
Chuck Norris counted to infinity. Twice.
When the bogeyman goes to sleep at night he checks his closet for Chuck Norris.
Once a cobra bit Chuck Norris' leg. After five days of excruciating pain the cobra died.
Chuck Norris died 10 years ago but the Grim Reaper can't get up the courage to tell him.
Chuck Norris can have both feet on the ground and kick @$$ at the same time.
Chuck Norris can slam revolving doors.
The chief export of Chuck Norris is pain.
Superman owns a pair of Chuck Norris pajamas.
Chuck Norris does not read books. He stares them down until he gets the information he wants.
Death once had a near-Chuck Norris experience.
I want to be just like Chuck Norris LOL!
I have a new favorite food...I have discovered The Peanut Butter & Co. line of peanut butters. My local grocery store started carrying a few of the flavors. What could be better than peanut butter combined with chocolate?!!
I'm not a big milk chocolate fan, and dark chocolate is simply OK in small amounts; it's not something I have to have. White chocolate, however, is a favorite. Now I can get two favorites mixed together...white chocolate peanut butter! Completely divine!
The also make a dark chocolate version if you've gone over to the dark side.
With the support & encouragement of my fellow Sparkers (and some divine white chocolate peanut butter) I am moving past my little meltdown yesterday morning. New Me has reasserted dominance and sent Old Me packing off to exile with the Scale Gremlins.
I am still angry but no longer with a visceral need to take it out on someone or something (or like YAGERMONSTER said, Hulk no get job, HULK SMASH!!!!). I spoke very briefly to my Dept. Director yesterday and after thanking him for his support (and I know he did go to bat for me for this position) I expressed my opinion of corporate�s decision very calmly, concisely and professionally and set a time to discuss my next steps and career plan next week when my immediate manager returns from vacation. That, plus the complete shock of the rest of the department upon learning who was chosen, helped validate my feelings.
I went running last night & did my best time yet, shaving off a full 20 seconds from my 2 mile time. It�s hard to stay that angry when running that fast (well, fast for me). I had created a playlist for the run, full of heavy metal head banger music with pounding drums and throbbing bass but couldn�t get it to work on my mp3. So I wound up with the random program.
I was certainly being given a message last night! The first song that came up was �I Will Survive� by Gloria Gaynor. There have been a lot of blogs about that song and how empowering it is so I won�t go into details but tonight it was talking to the Old Me that cropped up again yesterday�telling Old Me �Go on now go, walk out the door, just turn around now, 'cause you�re not welcome anymore.�
Next up was �It�s My Life� by Bon Jovi�telling New Me to quit whining and get my butt in gear...
�This ain�t a song for the broken hearted�..and I ain�t gonna be just a face in the crowd, you�re gonna hear my voice when I shout it out loud�It�s my life, It�s now or never, I ain�t gonna live forever, I just wanna live while I�m alive�It�s my life�You better stand tall, when they�re calling you out, don�t bend, don�t break, baby don�t back down�
Then signals got mixed or someone has a real sense of humour�the 3rd song was �It�s Raining Men� by the Weather Girls�and that is so not happening for me right now LOL!
It seemed like every song that came up in rotation had some sort of message for me (well, maybe not Demonoid or Dragula by Rob Zombie, or at least I probably don�t want to know what that message is LOL!). By the end of my run I was practically floating, bad mood relegated to the �Lessons Learned� file.
New Me is back with a vengeance! Time to kick butt & take names and reach those goals! New Me wins by TKO!
And the last song played? �Trouble� by Pink�
No attorneys
To plead my case
No opiates
To send me into outer space��..
I�m trouble
Yeah trouble now
I�m trouble y�all�.
I got trouble in my town
You think you�re right
But you were wrong
You tried to take me
But I knew all along
You can�t take me
For a ride
I�m not a fool now
So you better run and hide
I�m trouble
Yeah trouble now
I�m trouble y�all�.
I got trouble in my town
If you see me coming down the street
Then you know it�s time to go�..
�Cause here comes trouble
My house has been an on-going project for over a decade. My ex-H was great at starting projects and never finishing...and woe unto me if I dared to think about finishing something he had started just to get it done.
The ex-H is gone now but the unfinished projects have multiplied. The most obvious are the walls. The entry & hallway had this textured finish that had been painted. It might have been the latest thing 35 years ago but I'm ready for it to go. The stairway & upstairs hallway had wallpaper that was peeling and had several places where strips had been ripped off. The upstairs bathroom had several places where the ex-H had started repairing imperfections but never finished - so dark blue paint with white spackle patches.
Last winter Steve, one of the Dads from Boy Scouts, painted my daughter's room. He also stripped all the wallpaper of the stairway & hallway walls and did some skim coat on them. And that's where we left it....for a year.
Last June I started scraping off all the texture from the downstairs hallway. This picture shows what the walls have looked like for the last year. The picture is of my son Matt & his girlfriend from Halloween 2010:
The state of my walls - and all the other unfinished projects - has created a low level background stress. I hardly knew it was there; after all I have had years & years of practice living with unfinished projects. But as I started decluttering this year I noticed the stress by its absence. Every time I completed a mini-mini-project - sometimes as simple as just replacing a light bulb - I felt happier & less stressed. Which has made me even more eager to get the major projects completed now that I've got my tax return.
In February Steve came out again and gave me an estimate for prepping all the walls for painting, fixing the hole in the ceiling of the kitchen nook, and painting most of the inside. Due to illness and his work schedule he has been unable to actually start working on my walls. It has been very frustrating but I truly don't blame him b/c his real jobs pay better than what he is charging me. Plus I could do the work myself but I REALLY don't want to; me on a scaffolding is just begging for trouble.
But yesterday he called in the morning & said he was on his way to my house to start work. Yippee!!! I am SO excited! The end is finally in sight.
This is my entry hall after day 1 of wall repair:
I was so happy last night I kept just standing in the hallway with a stupid grin looking at my smooth(er) walls.
Based on his estimate he has another 9-10 days of work to do to get the house painted for the rooms we agreed on. He's also going to try something to cover the textured ceilings, to make them smooth, as well as the paneling in the kitchen nook and if that looks good for me I'll contract him to do that room & the kitchen as well, and paint the siding once it gets warm & dry enough.
I'm so excited to be getting this done finally! No more half done projects, no more neutral walls & floors!
Reading the Community section of the paper last night I saw a little blurb titled "Lace up for the Let's Move races".
So what did I do?
I registered for the 5k race on April 30. After considering the half marathon.
I really don't want to be a "runner", I just want to do my 2 miles and call it done.
So why did I do it? This is not a rhetorical question, I'm trying to figure it out myself LOL!
I'm going to blame it on caffeine, I had a Diet Coke yesterday which is something I rarely do. Caffeine in that amount has not been a regular part of my diet for years. Apparently it made me crazy.
Note to self...no more caffeine when reading the paper.
Now I have to follow through & run the darn race. And because I'm *slightly* competitive (OK, a whole lot competitive) simply finishing won't be good enough. I'm going to have to push myself hard so I come in....not in last place.
Seriously, I'm confident I can finish the race now, and that I can run the entire distance. I'm not interested in winning, or getting one of the top medals or whatever they hand out. I'm competing against myself so as long as I feel I did the best I could I'll be happy. And as long as I don't hurt myself. I'm a bit of a klutz and can see myself tripping, doing a face plant in the middle of the road and being trampled by all the people running behind me.
I really hope it's warm that day.

I had this fantasy that Brer Rabbit was hopping through the fields of every one of our politicians' imaginary worlds. Not so. This week's contributor remembers reading books full of images, but not the tiniest bunny in sight... Sigh!
Born, bred and educated in Castlereagh, reading kept a young Michael entertained. Loyal to his roots, Michael still lives in and represents the district for the UUP in the Assembly. "I was brought up in the days of Sunday comics, The Hostspur and The Victor among them; reading was central to understanding the world to a greater degree than it is now. (It) was the done thing. Television, radio and computers had not at that stage established their current dominance. (...)."
Interestingly, Michael pinpoints the start of his love story with books during his school days: full marks to his English teacher, Mr Fieldhouse, for kick-starting the (excellent) habit of a lifetime.
Since then, he has been a voracious reader, in the category of those who read more than one book at a time, late at night on work days and constantly during the holidays. Michael reads a few paper pages at a time and switches reads regularly. Each of his books has a personal significance as it has come wrapped up as a thoughtful present from a loved one. You've guessed it, Michael doesn't do e-books.
This week, Michael's trio of literary delights span Thomas Paine's Rights of Man, Peter Snow's To War with Wellington - From the Peninsula to Waterloo, and Ed Moloney's Voices from the Grave, Two Men's War in Ireland.
Similarly to last week's reader, Michael's picks seem to focus on history, war and conflict resolution through the shaking up of government structures.
In The Rights of Man, Paine makes a compelling argument in favour of the French Revolution as the only way to eradicate a failed government that did not safeguard the interests and rights of its people. Hereditary governments are described as a nonsense and the "fact therefore must be that the individuals themselves, each in his own personal and sovereign right, entered into a compact with each other to produce a government: and this is the only mode in which governments have a right to arise, and the only principle on which they have a right to exist."
From 1789's French Revolution, Michael fast forwards a few years to the early 19th century Napoleonic Wars with Peter Snow's diaries of Wellington's soldiers. History Today describes how "Peter Snow explores the Peninsular Wars and the Battle of Waterloo by paying particular attention to the men who served under Wellington. He has scoured the many accounts by soldiers and weaves them impeccably into a wider narrative. We read about actors, shepherds and ploughboys as well as the sons of landowners and earls, stumbling and fighting their way through Portugal, Spain and France. (...) Snow keeps his quotations short and produces a splendidly concise and fast-paced narrative. (...) Rich with colour and pathos, written with wit and grace, this is marvellous history."
Michael's quote of the week is extracted from Snow's To War with Wellington, in the form of an exchange between Lord Uxbridge and the Duke of Wellington after the Battle of Waterloo:
Lord Uxbridge: "By God, sir, I've lost my leg!"
The Duke of Wellington: "By God, sir, so you have!"
Whilst our previous readers enjoyed a variety of literary themes, they have all shown a passion for Northern Ireland's history. Michael is no exception. His third pick of the week, Moloney's Voices from the Grave, features interviews with Brendan Hughes and David Ervine: "This candid analysis of the Troubles in Northern Ireland, as seen through the eyes of two men of violence, is full of revelations...The memories of both men are vivid, gossipy and informed by an intense moral passion" (Daily Express).
It will be no surprise to you then that Michael's personal favourite reads were picked with a toss of the war-and-politics two-sided coin.
Heads: war. Michael's favourite book is Guy Sajer's Forgotten Soldier, a poignant account of war on the Eastern Front through the eyes of a teenage German soldier, fighting for survival against the Russian army through biting cold, crippling hunger and teeth-shattering fear. Michael regularly returns to this book which he says "portrays the senselessness of all wars, even just wars".
Tails: politics. The book that has most influenced Michael's political career is John Colville's Fringes of Power: Downing Street Diaries 1939-1955 "because it gives an insight into the behind-the-scene activity of momentous times in human history." Colville's diaries recount 16 years of service under three prime ministers, concentrating on his time as Winston Churchill's Private Secretary; they uncover the intimate side of government in times of war and peace and give a unique perspective on one of the UK's most famous leaders.
Personal non-fictional accounts in the forms of diaries, testimonies, and interviews are a common thread in Michael's reading pattern. What it says about him is up to your interpretation but I think it shows an empathetic nature and a need for direct communication without go-betweens. There is also evidence of this in the way he works and interacts with his constituents. Michael has a very developed social media set up. He has a Twitter feed, a dedicated website, and has even developed the concept of a Skype clinic for those who cannot come to him in person. His Facebook page is a vibrant hub of debates and exchanges where he directly replies to his constituents' questions and comments.
What struck me most when writing this piece is that Michael is a 'multi-book reader': "I have an unsettled nature. I bore easily so I can be reading up to 3 or 4 books at any given time." I find this ability to tune in and out of a story fascinating. I can only read one book at a time. To enjoy it, I need to completely immerse myself in the story to the point that I'll fight against sleep to hang on to how I'm feeling to the very last second. Kundera's Farewell Waltz had that effect on me. The story is so gripping you just can't leave the characters to their own devices. You feel compelled to walk them to the end of the road.
Invariably, if I have loved a book then I will read everything by the same author to try and get back that feeling of being someone else, somewhere else. This is how I have ended up with Rankin and Kundera's complete works sitting on my bookshelf.
On the upside, I discovered the story of the Prague Spring with Kundera and could probably draw a roadmap of Edinborough down to the last set of lights thanks to Rebus.
On the downside, concentrating on specific authors means that I am probably missing on some great reads.
So here comes the question of the week: are you a 'multi-book reader' or, like me, can you only enjoy one book at a time? Let me know...

Burglars targeting construction sites
Updated On: Apr 10 2014 10:50:42 AM EDT
Burglaries at construction sites throughout St. Johns County have been on the rise for the past couple of years.
The number more than doubled in 2013 and the increase in 2012 came with a huge increase in the number of building permits issued. About 660 more permits were issued last year than in 2012.
The St. Johns County Sheriff's Office said they really need the public's help in finding the burglars that are affecting local businesses.
"We're hoping maybe they can find something out but that's kind of difficult to trace so we'll just have to take the hit," said Thomas Heath, president of Heath Electric Inc.
Heath Electric in St. Johns County recently had equipment stolen from one of its construction sites.
Temporary wire for an electric panel was taken from a locked site at a local mall. He has other wires but says that was his best and it cost him around $1,400.
"It hurts your profit margin as it's competitive now and you have a low profit margin now. You have to be concerned. 'Hey, am I going to make it if this keeps happening?'" Heath said.
Heath's site was locked, but the majority of construction sites burglarized were not. He said many sites go unlocked because companies don't want to haul heavy equipment back and forth to a job every day.
The St. Johns County Sheriff's Office said there were 23 sited construction site burglaries in 2012 and 54 in 2013.
The Sheriff's Office is stepping up patrol in areas that have seen increased burglaries, but they really need the public's help.
"If you live in a subdivision or area where new construction is going on, maybe a different phase, if you see strange activity after hours after the construction company has already left please give us a call," said Cmdr. Chuck Mulligan.
The Sheriff's Office said just about anything can be stolen: wire, appliances, they've even seen front doors ripped off. Heath said his company is starting to put more storage boxes at their sites that are harder to break into, to hopefully put an end to this crime.

Posts tagged: day after Saint Mary's
Another busy day ahead in Las Vegas with the Gonzaga men and women playing for titles at Orleans Arena — GU-BYU women at 1, GU-BYU men at 6 — so we'll move on to our day-after Saint Mary's post.
It'll be shorter than usual. Heading to the arena soon and Gonzaga players had exited the locker room by the time the Bulldogs' press conference ended.
GU roughed up the Gaels again Monday night, 70-54, to advance to the championship game. Here's my game story, John Blanchette's column, Colin Mulvany's photos (many of these pictures show the physical nature of the contest), and recaps in the San Francisco Chronicle and Contra Costa Times.
GU's women handled Saint Mary's on Monday. Photo gallery here.
BYU's men went cold for the last 6 minutes of regulation but managed to advance to the title game by edging San Francisco in overtime. More on that game here, here, here and here. BYU's women pulled away in the second half against Pacific.
Coming off an 0-2 road trip, there was concern in Zagland earlier this week. Gonzaga faced the prospect of dropping four straight, failing to win the WCC outright, losing the No. 1 seed in the WCC Tournament and drifting onto the NCAA Tournament bubble.
GU erased those concerns with an impressive road trip, thumping Pacific 70-53 on Thursday and Saint Mary's 75-47 on Saturday. The Zags will enter the postseason with a two-game winning streak. They won the conference by two games over BYU and San Francisco. They'll be the top seed in Las Vegas. They appear to have distanced themselves from the NCAA bubble.
Here's my game story that ran in Sunday's S-R, and others by A.P., San Francisco Chronicle and Contra Costa Times. In case you missed it, former San Francisco players and assistants are questioning Rex Walters' coaching tactics.
Read on for my day-after Saint Mary's post.
Good morning from San Diego. We'll get right to it after one of the more memorable Gonzaga games in years. It might have cost me a couple years off my lifespan (8 p.m. start, deadline, overtime, deadline, building 138 degrees, deadline), but it was worth it.
Here's my game story, and those from the San Francisco Chronicle, Contra Costa Times, and ESPN.com.
I doubled checked with the conference office and re-confirmed that the victory clinched at least a second seed for Gonzaga and a bye into the WCC Tournament semifinals. There is no scenario if GU and Saint Mary's finished tied (11-3 or 10-4, or in a three-way tie with San Francisco at 10-4) that Gonzaga takes the top seed. SMC wins that if it comes down to a tiebreaker.
San Francisco is locked in at No. 3, even if the Dons finish in a three-way tie for first. Pepperdine is locked in at No. 6. The rest will be decided Saturday.
Read on.
Good morning. I watched a replay of the first half when I got home (bedtime, 2!), got up for a phone interview with KJR in Seattle and then watched the second half. Entertaining game full of big plays, drama and questionable calls both ways that ended with Mickey McConnell draining a tough, leaning 15-footer to win it (pictured above in photo by S-R's Dan Pelle).
Can't say I'm a big fan of those 8 p.m. starts (that almost always become 8:10-8:15). I typically file a 6-8 inch game story for first edition right after the game, then make a mad dash to get a couple of interviews and a quick rewrite for final.
Here are the links: S-R gamer, John Blanchette column, S-R photos, A.P. gamer and Contra Costa Times gamer.
Much more below in my day-after post.
We got an early start flying out of Las Vegas and a late start on the day-after post. But we're home, welcomed by some wind and snow, and here's a recap of Saint Mary's 81-62 win over the Zags in the WCC title game.
Links: S-R gamer, John Blanchette column, Chris Anderson photos, San Francisco Chronicle gamer, Contra Costa Times here and here, A.P. gamer, Seattle Times column, Tacoma News Tribune gamer and Las Vegas Review-Journal gamer.
Read on.
I watched the GU-SMC replay into the early hours and was sleeping soundly when the phone rang this morning with a radio interview request. So, the Z's will come later and the day-after post sooner.
Here are the links: S-R gamer, John Blanchette column on Omar Samhan, S-R photos, A.P., Seattle Times and Contra Costa Times (authored by S-R's Dave Trimmer). San Diego, Gonzaga's opponent Saturday, played without Brandon Johnson (groin injury) and lost to Portland. The Pilots, meanwhile, might not get Nik Raivio back this season.
Read on for more from Gonzaga's 80-61 win over Saint Mary's.
Back with the day-after post from Gonzaga's 72-70 win over Saint Mary's on Thursday, played out before a loud and packed McKeon Pavilion.
"It was nuts," GU reserve center Will Foster said. "It was nuts."
Yes it was. More below. I'll post my GU-San Francisco advance later today.

When you're stroking, and when you feel oh so good, you want to eat your cum for me. You tell me how much you want to do it, how excited it makes you feel. I tease you and you beg me to cum, and I tell you I'll only allow release if you promise this will be the time – this time you'll swallow down all that spunk. You see, you've promised this before, but you've never gone through with it. We need to get you past your block.
Reasons for Your Cum-Eating Block
What is it about cum-eating that causes this block, that prevents you from completing this wonderful, sexy act? We exploded all those myths. It won't turn you gay and you can make your cum taste less bitter. There are many ways we can get you over this block, but I want to use your feelings of arousal and bliss at being allowed to cum.
Using Your Bliss
While you're stroking, just relax and breathe deeply and remember to just be. Try to disconnect yourself from your mind and just revel in the sensations. Feel the energy flowing through your body, and then flowing out of you as you orgasm and that thick cream spurts out of your cock. Hold on to that feeling of absolute bliss as you bring your fingers to your mouth and lick and suck the creamy spunk from them. Feel it slipping down your throat and down into your belly, just experiencing the bliss of pleasing me.

- Over the weekend, Lindsay Lohan was allegedly choked by a guy she met at NYC hotspot 1 Oak. LiLo met the fellow partier and asked him to join her and her friends back at her hotel room for further shenanigans. At some point, Lohan accused him of taking photos of her with his cellphone, an altercation occurred, the guy apparently pinned Lohan to the bed and began choking her, before being pulled off by one of Lindsay's friends. He was then arrested. Well, turns out the guy — Chris LaBella, 26 — is a congressional staffer for Illinois Republican Representative John Shimkus. (Awkwardly, LaBella's FB profile photo features him standing next to GOP Vice-Presidential candidate Paul Ryan.) Something tells me LaBella is about to pink-slipped. [NYMag.com]

text: HomeTVGeneral HospitalGeneral Hospital Spoilers! Regan Cellura September 30, 2009 General Hospital, General Hospital Spoilers 59 Comments Here's the Scoop! 09.30.09 Hi guys! Had a blast in Vegas, won some money and most importantly got to relax. Relax? In Vegas? I know crazy right? I never said I was a party animal. Thanks for all the birthday wishes. Claudia, Claudia, Claudia… exiting and still creating some drama. She figures out that Dominic is Olivia's son and threatens to tell all unless Olivia ends things with Johnny. How convenient for a possible Sonny-Olivia pairing once Claudia does exit stage left. Olivia does end things with her younger lover much to Johnny's dismay. Claudia tries to get into Dante's pants and tells him she knows who is mommy is. Will Lulu catch a glimpse of the seduction? Speaking of men with a badge… Now that Jonathan Jackson is returning can anyone buy Lucky Spencer as a cop? Well peeps, that was the old Lucky and since Jackson left, the character has changed. Who wouldn't love to see Domte and Lucky as PCPD's newest cop duo? Luke and Sonny's sons on the opposite side of the law from their dear old dads… could be interesting, IF they go that route. What about Lucky and Liz now that Frons can recapture the magic he loves so much? Will the four musketeers ride again? This Liason fan could handle the LL2 reunion a little better with JJ back in the saddle but I'm still not 100% behind the writing. What once was is not always great again. How about the brother vs. brother storyline for Elizabeth's affections? Anyone remember when JJ's Lucky and Nikolas did not get along? That was some great stuff. Let's not forget that Helena fits in here somewhere and she has an old ax to grind with Elizabeth. Will the evil granny be making any threats when she tells Liz she's fully aware of her relationship with Nikolas? New Opening… How many times have we started a SPOILER section with that one? Take out your salt boulders just in case. The wonderful land of Twitter has given us some SCOOP on that one and it looks like some new opening sequences have been filmed. Only time will tell… Greg Vaughan… I hate to say I told ya so, but I kinda did. We've been dishing for months now that Greg was in trouble and that was before I took my leave. I'm a fan of Greg's so all that reporting was not fun for me and I wish him nothing but the best. He's a favorite of my roomie's and she is extremely sad that to see him go. More Tweets from Vaughan: I can't say how humbled I am by ALL the love and support that has been pooring out! I have been truly Blessed through out my career and will to continue to follow the path that GOD has been made for me! I only wish things had come to a better ending during my time at GH. These past hours, spending it with my 2 greatest gifts, and one more to follow give me all the reason to continue to strive in all things. My final thought is one that will forever reflect what I know I brought as an actor to GH, and something that I will reflect in all my work! Maurice said,"A Golden trophy won't define your work as Lucky, because you already made your permanent mark at GH as an ACTOR!" CRAZY and RANDOM… The prince rides to the rescue. JaSam MAY have more love scenes and during football season no less. Does Scrubs need a little spice in their lives? Sam and Jason caught by Lucky. Does Lucky know Mischa? Photo Credit: ABC 59 Responses keanna September 30, 2009 Great to hear you won some money and had fun in Vegas Regan, you were right you said all along that Greg's days on GH were numbered. Do you Tony Geary had a hand in Greg's ouster and Jonathan coming back? I think having Jonathan's Lucky as a cop would be intersting especially he and Dante joining forces that would be good. I think I could go for Lucky/Liz/Nik triangle or even a Lucky/Liz/Sam/Jason quad. Hmmm.. As for Claudia, do you have any spoilers on how she is going to leave? As for a new opening, we will believe it when we see it. Great to have you back, Regan. When are going to do a ABC podcast? Log in to Reply daisyclover1938 September 30, 2009 Hey Regan! Welcome back! I'm glad you had a good time in Vegas!! I'm still really sad about GV. He didn't deserve to be treated like garbage, especially considering he did his best with crappy material. During GV's years with GH, Lucky was written as a dope and Neanderthal, yet GV still managed to bring out the best in Lucky and make me root for him. He'll be missed Hopefully he'll move on to bigger and better things. As for JJ, I'm sure he'll do fine. I've already made my prediction: the writing for New/Old Lucky will be good for 3-6 months – and then it'll suck again. JMO Log in to Reply THEBEST September 30, 2009 GH really seems to be improving. I'm guessing that maybe Frons is actually letting Guza write the show without him dictating pairings & story. He's letting Pratt do whatever the hell he wants at AMC (to the show's detriment). He might as well give Guza free reign without interference… Log in to Reply Regan Cellura September 30, 2009 The internet CHATTER and back stage GOSSIP has always been that Tony G was not a fan of Greg's work. He just didn't feel that GV was that great of an actor. Again, CHATTER and GOSSIP but that's what has been out there in the past. I am sure TG had something to do with JJ returning. They've kept in touch over the years and JJ said himself that one of the motivating factors was the opportunity to work with Tony again. I've seen some conflicting info about Claudia. She MAY be killed off or just sent back to Italy. When I know more, I'll let you know. The podcast… It looks like I'll be recording this weekend. Daisy… totally agree that the first three months will quite possibly be the best writing JJ will get. It will be Luke heavy and will most likely taper off when TG goes on another vacation. Hopefully whatever is established in that three months has some staying power. I've always been vocal about my disappointment in the writing for Lucky. He's a Spencer, not Barney Fife. Log in to Reply LuvSonny September 30, 2009 EET,DAisy, whoever it was, I need, desperately need, for you guys to refresh my recollection regarding the time when Ric framed Sam and Jason busted her out of jail. What I need to know is what did Liz do to her exactly. I remember you guys saying she destroyed some evidence I think???? Please help Log in to Reply toytoy74 September 30, 2009 Thanks for the scoop Regan! Just some thoughts on GH……. Dante' and Lucky working together…HOT…Sonny and Lukes reaction….PRICELESS. I personally have ZERO interest in the coupling of Sonny and ANYONE at this point,let alone Olivia. Waiting on Claudia to leave. Waiting on more Megan Ward scenes. Wondering why Alexis has no man when she has chemistry with ALL of the men on that show.(Luke,Sonny,Mac,Coleman,Jax) Wondering if Max is paralyzed. Scared to admit Ethan was hotter than hell singing my INXS song yesterday Hoping Frons decides to save $$ by changing AMC to ASC and moving ALL of Sonny's kids to PV so we can have a storyline that does not involve children needing bodyguards,and acting as if their criminal father is cool,or watch another one of his pregnant ladies have another mishap. Jonathan Jackson returning is still sinking in for me…YIPEE!!! The thought of Tyler Christopher,Jonathan Jackson,and Liz Herbst in a scene together is almost too much 4 me Sad Greg Vaughn had to lose his job because the Fruza killing machine didn't have the balls to fire their weak writers.(They COULD have did a John Black/Roman Brady type of thing,and kept both.jmo. Wants Uncle Mac to have more screen time. Wonders what Helena has up her sleeves this time….and Every since Jamey said Eric Braeden would make a great Mikkos I can't stop thinking about the storyline possibilities. Thanks for letting me rant. Love my DC!! Log in to Reply Regan Cellura September 30, 2009 Elizabeth destroyed a police file that looked bad for Jason. Since Sam was working at the station at the time, Ric assumed it was Sam who stole the file. Log in to Reply keanna September 30, 2009 Thanks, Regan! Log in to Reply toytoy74 September 30, 2009 P.S. If it's true that they're gonna have a new opening I vote Tony Geary cannot walk off at the end…it ruins my fall storylines every year…lol. Log in to Reply Regan Cellura September 30, 2009 Derk Cheetwood was back on set today and excited about the story… according to his Tweets. Log in to Reply keanna September 30, 2009 Toytoy74, I am with you I think Eric Braden would make a great Mikkos, I can definitely see the potential storylines, especially if they bring Stephen Nichols back as Stefan, that coupled with Alexis, Nik, and Helena, that would be wonderful. Log in to Reply soapstoned September 30, 2009 I hope Helena has been messing with Elizabeth for years and somehow Cam and Jake are Lucky's Kids. I don't want Jason in her story. Log in to Reply The_Moustache September 30, 2009 I COULD STARE AT JOHNNY & DANTE ALL DAY! sad about Greg leaving, hopefully he goes to another soap like DAYS and is shirtless all the time like Brady, EJ, and Lucas. Log in to Reply Ravennite613 September 30, 2009 DAMN DAMN DAMN Just when I thought I could walk away for good from GH, they up and hire JJ. ARGHHHHH. I personally can't see Sonny being weirded out when he finds out Dante is a cop, I mean he is the one who for years has been preaching that he does not want his kids to follow in the Business. Luke is another story. I will definitely be back for GH when JJ is back, for now I will continue to read DC for updates. Log in to Reply crazy4gh September 30, 2009 Thanks for the scoops Regan, I watch bits and pieces of GH every once in awhile, but faithly look for your info. I was just thinking today how many actors that are still in the opening are gone, definetly need a new one, probably get it with JJ coming back. We really think alike, when I saw bits of SB with his shirt off I thought WTH, again a knife in the heart for Liason fans. I really liked L&L with JJ, but you know how much I love Liason. Wonder if TPTB will test JJ's chemistry with anyone else. Glad you enjoyed your birthday and Vegas! Log in to Reply toytoy74 September 30, 2009 Keanna, I too would much rather have PC sworming with Cassadines than mobsters ANYDAY!!! We're down to 3 Quartermaines twice a year at this point. The gunplay is getting repetitive and tideous. Let's get my weather controlling greek dynasty back on. If they got Eric Braeden AND Stephen Nichols i'd be back for good.Real Talk. Cassadines vs. Spencers The Final Battle. That would be great. So of course Guza and Frons would more than likely have none of it unless Sonny knocked up this 'Mischa' chick. You know you gotta have a baby with Sonny to get a storyline…lol. Log in to Reply BigDede September 30, 2009 I have stated before, since JJ is coming back and more likely they will write Lucky as a Spencer again, I think JJ's Lucky and Sam would be good. I know that's not going to happen since her fans and Frons want her on Jason's nuts. I am looking forward to the Nik/Liz/Lucky triangle. I also loved when Nik and Lucky didn't get along. But now Lucky has Luke by his side. Nik doesn't have Stefan. Log in to Reply daisyclover1938 September 30, 2009 And BigDede, you obviously want Liz on Lucky and Nik's "nuts" so what's the problem? Log in to Reply sweetiepie September 30, 2009 The idea of having a full on Cassidine family reunion in PC gives me the full on giggles! Can't wait. Still in wait and see mode regarding JJ coming back as Lucky. Not really sure lightning can strike twice, especially after a 10 year absence. Well it looks like our prayyers may be answered and the mob stuff toned down. I have only been watching GH again for the past couple of weeks, but I have noticed less Sonny facetime, and teh mob stories appear to be coming to a head, ie, Dante reveal, Claudia off the canvas. This would be so absolutely wonderful if we could backburner the mob and go into GH: The Cassadine Years. Log in to Reply daisyclover1938 September 30, 2009 Regan, have you heard anything about a Jake Paternity Redo? The rumors are out there that Jake's paternity will be undone. I kind of dismissed them at first, but they're gaining steam. I dunno…I never believed they would do that because Jake provides the show with Jason Angst, and we all know how much TPTB love that… And have you heard about how long JJ has signed on for… I've heard conflicting reports: some say longterm and some say 6 months. Log in to Reply terrifictam September 30, 2009 Welcome back Regan! A Vegas Winner – impressive. Thanks for the spoilers. Don't really know what to say except the show has been great this week and I hope it can hold onto the momentum. Will miss GV alot. Log in to Reply EricasEvilTwin October 1, 2009 Am I the only one who doesnt see how they make LL2 viable again any time soon when she just slept with his brother? She has said repeatedly now that she no longer has romantic inclinations toward/passion for Lucky. If JJs Lucky and Gregs Lucky are the same character, then they are both stuck with the same back story. Will he go renegade and that will spark her interest again? As for the file, didnt Ric know it was Lizard that took it, but used the opportunity to get a search warrant for Sam's apt. and then planted the evidence?? And I believe, although this was a while back, that at any time Lizard could have come forward and cleared her, but instead kept quiet, let her go on the road, and get injured in the Log in to Reply GH LOVER October 1, 2009 Hi Regan good to have you back yeaaaaaaa Now About Lucky I am so used to GV and Lucky has changed since JJ was him I don't know if it will work an how can they change him to someone new or old ?? And I don't think Dante will be a cop for along time he can't his father is the godfather and that is very different from Lucky …………. I just don't know if there can be the magic again and lets not forget Liz has changed also.. And I know that they change Jake's paternity to Lucky's .. They want JaSam to be alone and to be endgame and I think they want it also for LnL2.. And I want Jason to have his family and Sam have the baby she always wanted I think JaSam baby will be the best story ever thinking about their history .. Good to have you back Regan I love GH !! Log in to Reply GH LOVER October 1, 2009 Ok Liz took evidence from PCPD and they did look at Sam I think lucky was the one questing her but Alexis got the case off .. That was before october were Rick made the fake case against JaSam and sonny – that was a different story .. EET i agree with you Liz said that she doesn't have the same feelings for Lucky I don't know if they can bring the old magic back Liz is not the same girl that was when JJ was she changed a lot … Maybe they should put him with someone else …….. Maybe with someone young cous he does look young I can't imagine him with Sam . Log in to Reply daisyclover1938 October 1, 2009 GH LOVER: Oh gosh, I could not imagine JJ's Lucky with Sam either, lol. I mean Kelly has chemistry with *everyone* imo, but I just couldn't picture LuSam with JJ as Lucky. I could be wrong of course… I bet they're going to put JJ in scenes with everyone just to see who he clicks with. GH has a habit of doing lots of chem testing. Log in to Reply GH LOVER October 1, 2009 I hate chem test !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I think they going to have troubles with him cous I don;t know if Liz and Lucky old or new can be ???? Log in to Reply jpp1975 October 1, 2009 Three predictions if JJ is back for only 6 months: 1. Jake's paternity switched. 2. LL2 permanently written off together when JJ leaves. 3. Sam has miracle sextuplets w/Jason. 4. Frons faints from ecstasy at getting rid of the last Webber and populating PC w/tiny Morgan-McCalls who can grow up to shoot at people & eventually marry Emma & Carly's baby. Log in to Reply daisyclover1938 October 1, 2009 Cyberologist: Yes it's mostly about the writing (but not *all* about the writing). And the acting on a show is very important, but imo it's a mistake to be so dismissive of 'chemistry.' We could have two great actors doing their thing, but if the 'chem' isn't there, then the pairing simply will not work, which hurts a story tremendously. And I'm not sure why you seem to have such a condescending attitude towards "fangurls." We're fans just like everyone else, and frankly, when the writing sucks, we cling to our favorite characters/actors/couples because often times, that's the only thing we *have* to cling to. If the quality of our shows were better, then people wouldn't be *as* obsessed with certain couples being together. My "fangurl" love has been what's kept me watching soaps all this time. Log in to Reply daisyclover1938 October 1, 2009 jpp1975: Well first of all, Frons probably doesn't know who the heck the Webber's are. Secondly, if it would have given Frons so much ecstasy to get rid of Liz, he would have done it a long time ago. ReH/Liz is in a front burner storyline, & they're bringing back the only actor (imo) that she's ever had real chemistry with… this doesn't sound like Frons wants to get rid of Liz/ReH at all. Log in to Reply Cyberologist October 1, 2009 Elizabeth and Lucky were a supercouple that after Jonathan left got watered down to nothing for the favs and they did't do it with special attention of the head of daytime they did the old fashioned way and I watched them from jump street and I think they still have it….Becky can act and so can Jonathan that's the key for me…they don't need to do a test they've been tested. I just think whoever is paired with Jonathan's Lucky would have to be at the top of their game acting wise because chemistry isn't all that is needed for me he has the "IT" factor and then there is this small thing called acting. I don't watch shows to see who a 3x emmy who has been in 13 movies and having another movie out next year has "chemistry" with in some couple that he has to be 'tested' for with another lousy written story. I want to see some good "acting" going down… these little couples are killing soaps imo yeah its nice to be in these little groups of but when the deal goes down I want some good drama 'well-written' but for GH just decent fair and balanced not pimping propping and all that …its all about the writing. Nothing was wrong with Greg after he learned how to act better but a lot was wrong with the way he was written…and if JJ's Lucky isn't "written well" more of a Detective Doofus which I heard he won't be a policeman against the mobbies it'll be the same thing. Just probably better acting. jmo Log in to Reply troymcclure October 1, 2009 I could care less who they pair JJ with. I just wanna see him act and be Lucky, a character that has been missing for 10 years Log in to Reply Ravennite613 October 1, 2009 I for one do not see any change in the paternity of Jake, I mean Frons is the one who wanted JaSam back I can't see how he couldn't have dictated them changing the paternity already, I mean GV's Lucky was always the daddy type. JJ's Lucky in my opinion will be written angry, angry at dad for ethan, angry at Liz for a lot but Nik now. I truly don't know if Guza is planning on rekindling anything so soon, but I have a problem with anyone who says that can't work their way back together. I mean if Sam can forgive a man who threatened her and Jason can do the ultimate and forgive the woman who watched his child kidnapped why can't L&L find that special sonething again. Besides didn't Lucky sleep with Liz's sister when they were together so its not like they haven't visited this before. I get more amazed at how much people need to change Jake's paternity as a way to further that sexfest that is JaSam and thats not love to me just hormones. Log in to Reply daisyclover1938 October 1, 2009 Ravennite613: Just to clarify, I brought up the Jake paternity thing because it's a rumor that's out there and people are talking about it. I have stated MANY times on here that I don't want Jake to be Lucky's. Whether Jake is Jason's or not doesn't change my love of JaSam or "further the sexfest" or whatever… That said, while GV was Lucky I didn't want Jake to be his, but now that JJ is coming back, I'm not sure how I'll feel… I'm interested to see if my opinions about characters/stories are going to be effected by him coming back to the role. Log in to Reply engradypind October 1, 2009 Stephan Cassadine is DEAD. Remember the great funeral scene with Luke bouncing up and down on the casket! Great fun. Do we really want another resurrection on GH. Isn't it enough that Rebecca is Emily's long,lost, unknown twin? She can't be Emily. Emily is DEAD! For goodness sakes, the body died from garroting on the ballroom floor. The body laid there for hours waiting for morning and the end of the storm so the rescue team could arrive, and then laid their even longer while Nicholas mourned and wept and generally refused to give up the body. Emily's mother is a doctor and would have know if there was even a spark of life left in the brain dead body. Remember what happened when Alcazar's crazy son came back to life? GH does not need any more resurrections, especially of Cassadines. Popcicle Cassadine was more than enough. There have to be other Cassadines to threaten the larcenous Helena and Prince Nik. I am really looking forward to the return of Jonathon Jackson as Lucky. I think we will see better acting and a better story with Jackson than we could ever have seen with Greg Vaughn's boy next door Lucky. GV will always be the too nice guy who lived next door to the Halliwell witches. Sounds like you had fun in Vegas. Let's leave it at that. You'll always have your memories. Log in to Reply pxlbarrel October 1, 2009 I'm reading a lot of "Jonathan's Lucky will be …." and most of it is based on Lucky's character and how JJ acted about 10 years ago. Some are saying Greg's Lucky was daddy material as if to say they don't really see JJ the same way. Well, I don't know. 10 years and the actor has grown up and we're not going to be seeing teenaged JJ here. We're not seeing a redux of 1999. JJ's Lucky will obviously be different than Greg's but until we see him back on our screens this month, I don't think we can really preduct what kind of man his Lucky will be. I just hope they'll start writing him smarter, make him a better cop and don't make him the sad sack victim of love that poor Greg as had to endure. If they can do all that…then the rest of it will fall in place. Personally, I don't want to see angry Lucky or Lucky as he was in 1999. Don't get me wrong, I loved JJ as Lucky…he is the original and most times, the first person you see as that character is indelibly inked in your brain. But, it's been 10 years and I want to see a man, not an angry, teenaged kid. We're not the same people 10 years ago so I hope, as much as I liked 90's Lucky, they don't stick JJ's Lucky do-over in a time bubble and lock him into the character that was. I hope that if they do write him the way I hope he writes him that fans will let Lucky have a chance to grow up. We tend to want things the way they were. I know…I do. I wish for 80's and 90's GH all the time. But with the kid actors, I want to see them grow up. If Frons were doing my wish list right now, and no disrepect to Natalia, he'd woo Amber Tamblyn back as resurrected Emily. (and bring Alan back to life!! — had to put that in.) Log in to Reply Teach19 October 1, 2009 Welcome back Regan!! Have you heard how long JJ has signed on the play Lucky?? I HOPE AND PRAY tptb do NOT change Jake's paternity!! I watched GH when JJ was playing Lucky and LnL was good, but nothing compared to Liason. Until RH or SB leaves the show I will not stop hoping for my couple to reunite!! Call me crazy or in denial, but I have stopped and started watching before. I can do it again. A shirtless Jason–you are right just put a knife in this Liason fan's heart!!! Finally, I wish what they had to pay JJ to return had been used on NEW writers!!! Log in to Reply pxlbarrel October 1, 2009 engradypind, Anythign's possible on soaps…including GH. Resurrections happen ALL the time. LOL I mean, if we can believe an alien from Lumina came to visit Robin or Mikkos Cassidine can invent a weather machine or somebody can swallow a toxic ball the size of baseballs or that Sonny's a smart mobster, we can believe that Emily's still alive. Let's see….that lifeless body that Nikolas left to rot on Windemere's floor for such a long time was somebody else's dead, lifeless body…surgically altered to look like Emily…gee, maybe it was… Rebecca, who Helena found on some secret Greek island and thought…ooooh, her bone structure looks so much like Emily's. So while Nikolas was unconcious, Helena's hench people swooped in and kidnapped Emily and placed said dead body on the floor so that it looked like Emily had been murdered. Knowing that the PCPD would never suspect Emily was notEmily, and that they'd never do a DNA test on a dead body (who knew), Helena got away with it. Meanwhile, Emily has been brainwashed by Helena to think she's Rebecca, Emily's long lost twin who had been sold by Paige at birth…all of which was never true but an invention of Helena's warped evil mind. Why? Who knows… Helena's a Cassidine, they do wacky and evil things before lunch, just for the heck of it. See? Was that so hard to believe? hehe Log in to Reply pisces October 1, 2009 Welcome back Regan. I'm sorry for GV. I'm not a Lucky fan, but I feel bad that the guy lost his job, and the fact that I am not a Lucky fan is not GV's fault; it's just the way he's written. I've never seen JJ as Lucky; I'll be interested to see the differences between him and GV. Log in to Reply Regan Cellura October 1, 2009 I believe Jamey was told it was for a longer term contract. He is moving his family to LA when in the past he's commuted to work on projects. I realize even six months on a soap, with a heavy storyline, is much different in terms of commuting back and forth to Washington State. When it comes to lengths of contracts and online reports, some people will see or hear when the actor's first out is. It's usually done in a 13 week cycle, however, when firing one actor to facilitate another's return, I would ASSUME TPTB secured Jackson for at least one year if not longer. Sarah Brown was working on a one year contract as are some other actors but Sarah was playing a new character. They didn't fire Laura Wright to bring her back as Carly. They dumped Greg in favor of the "real" Lucky, I certainly hope they got a decent commitment. Paternity switch… is it out there, yes but it's been out there since they first named Jason as Jake's father. Do I see them doing that? I would hope not but who the hell knows anymore. Log in to Reply soapstoned October 1, 2009 I have disliked the characters Sonny and Jason for so long that I am gonna pee my pantalonies when JJ comes back and Jason has to play second fiddle. The Sonny/jason/carly Reign of terror is finally OVER! Helena and Luke are coming back to kick off the new Casadine VS Spencer war which has always been better than the one note MOB. People talk about the great acting of Sonny and Jason but they are both one note with little to no depth. They SUCK and JJ being back is gonna prove that FACT! mauahah!

Are we really to believe that Sonny would drool all over DOMte, because he saved Morgan, yet ignore Max, because he saved Emma's nanny-or whoever she was? I know Derk Cheetwood has recently tweeted that he just started back to work, tell me we aren't going to have to wait that long to find out what happened to him? Log in to Reply BigDede October 1, 2009 And BigDede, you obviously want Liz on Lucky and Nik's "nuts" so what's the problem? Believe it or not, I am a Sam fan. If she is going to be a long term character, she needs a life outside of Jason. Everyone on that show got a chance to have other love stories, why can't she? There are always debates like who is Sonny best love Brenda or Carly and stuff like that with other character but Sam can't get that kind of debate. I think JJ's Lucky would be really good with Sam. Just my opinion. Watch and see that their first scenes together will be filled with chemistry, just watch. I knew it the first time I saw GV's Lucky in a scene with Sam and it will happen again. But in the mean time I will enjoy my Nik/Liz/Lucky storyline. Log in to Reply svexsal October 1, 2009 Sorry but all of those tweets in response to GV leaving made it sound like he died or something. He's leaving a role, he's not dead. 'Our thoughts and prayers' sounds a bit dramatic. Log in to Reply EricasEvilTwin October 1, 2009 I just hope the show doesnt get swallowed whole by the return of JJ and TG. I want to watch that like I want to watch paint dry. I loved the last 3 days of GH. I love Scrubs, Spixie, JaSam, lulu/Dante, and CarJax and I hope we dont lose focus on that side of the canvas just for Guza's newest little toy. Lets also hope that JJ is treated better than they treated SJB. Log in to Reply mayjadjor October 1, 2009 I've always thought they would eventually change Jake's paternity because Guza said when JaSam broke up in '07 that they are a destiny couple and that we hadn't seen the last of them. I actually think they would have done it already if they weren't trying to woo JJ into coming back, which I think they have been doing for a long while, based on what I've been reading. It just goes along with how they've always treated GV… kicking the can down the road when it comes to the meaty stories. Based on other stuff I've been reading, TPTB didn't mean for Liason and LuSam to last as long as they did, but GV and KeMo had unexpectedly good chemistry, so they wanted to stretch their story. Also, switching the paternity will finally end this whole discussion about how Jason could be with Sam again after what she did to Jake, (even though she ended up saving his life, but whatever.) I think there will be a pause in LL2 because of Liz's most recent sexcapade, but eventually they will put them back together after a good amount of angst and begging by Liz. I think the paternity switch will help facilitate that. Liason is dead dead dead. Acceptance is the first step toward healing, Liasonites. Log in to Reply mayjadjor October 1, 2009 1 more thing… someone mentioned something about JaSam having a lot of sex and that's all they've got right now. I agree to a point, but I think there is a reason for that. They are both avoiding talking about the past or even where they stand right now, and since they aren't talking about stuff, sex is the only way they can express how they are both feeling. That's my guess. But, this kind of relationship either fizzles out or something needs to change, and I think eventually they will need to confront their issues if they are going to move forward. It's like Carly said to Jason… they are going to be all over each other, making excuses to see each other, and if they aren't careful and honest, they will end up further apart than ever.

Log in to Reply jasamfan98 October 1, 2009 Welcome back Regan…glad you had a great birthday. I'm glad to read that Olivia is going to end her relationship with Johnny. I liked them at first but now they are getting old to me. I guess its because I can't stand Olivia. One thing I hate about her ending her relationship with Johnny is that she's going to end up in Sonny's bed once Claudia leaves. I would like to see a Johnny/Lulu/Dante triangle though if things don't work out with Johnny and Olivia. I loved JJ as Lucky. He's been my favorite Lucky but I honestly can't see him playing the way Lucky is now. I guess I'll just have to wait and see when he starts. I have a question….Why can Sam not have kids? Did she have a hysterectomy (don't know if I spelled it right) when she got shot or did the doctor tell her that she can't have any? I'm hoping on a miracle baby. Log in to Reply daisyclover1938 October 1, 2009 James Franco to GH?!?! And I know we always hear about VM coming back, but…I'm thinking it might be true this time… Log in to Reply mayjadjor October 1, 2009 jasamfan… because she was shot in the back, she has a lot of scarring on her uterus and wouldn't be able to carry a child to term. So, even if she got pregnant, by some miracle, she would lose it. I have a feeling they will come up with some type of crazy surgery to remove the scarring so she could carry a baby to term, but that's just my guess.

I won't knock JJ looking young because if he stayed in the role he would have looked the same, and the man can't be held accountable because he was blessed with a baby face.

I am sure they would want to play vm with MB unless CarJax is on a break. Log in to Reply soapfan_incognito October 1, 2009 Funny EET, I just posted the same Sam rumor in the James Franco thread. I hope that is the role he will be cast for, if Sam can go toe to toe with a A-lister it will forever put to bed the grumblings from some that she cannot act and is in bed with Fruza. Log in to Reply EricasEvilTwin October 1, 2009 And it will be good story for one of the best actresses in daytime. Sami's is saying thats the part he is going to play (just saw that) so lets hope thats one rumor thats spot on. Log in to Reply Leave a Reply Cancel Reply You must be logged in to post a comment.

Ergobaby Carriers
Ergobaby is one of the original buckle carrier companies that helped bring babywearing into the mainstream. Founded in 2003, Ergobaby has diversified from its original award-winning design to a whole line of great carriers to meet a wide range of babywearing needs.
We offer the full line of Ergobaby Buckle Carriers as well as many of their accessories that make parenting easier.
If you're new to Ergobaby, here is a quick breakdown of the differences between their different carrier lines:
The Original /Organic Ergo Baby Carrier is the classic Ergobaby Carrier model. They are made of soft cotton and feature a pocket, an attached sleeping hood and cushy padded shoulder straps.
The Performance Ergo Baby Carrier has a sportier look and a bit more streamlined, having thinner contoured shoulder straps. Its moisture-wicking fabric makes it ideal for hotter climates and for people who run warm.
The Designer Ergo Baby Carrier features the classic fit of the original, but is made from designer fabrics. Some of the designer carriers have extra special add-ons, like the fur lining on the Winter Ergo Baby Carrier.
The Sport Ergo Baby Carrier is very light-weight and is designed for taller and larger people. The Sport Carrier has a vent in the carrier body for coolness and does not have a pocket. The hood is detachable.
The Travel Collection features the Stowaway Carrier, which is super light and compact, and fits into its own pouch for easy storage, and the Urban Travel Carrier, whose sleek looks make it a great choice for day or night!
The Ergobaby 360 is allows for positioning your child in a truly ergonomic forward-facing carry as well as the other standard Ergobaby positions: front carry (facing in), hip carry and back carry.

But Century City-based singer/songwriter Cathy Heller has figured out a way to break through. Though she's not a household name, she's made a shit ton of money. Her system is pretty simple -- it doesn't even require a time machine to take her back to the music business glory days around the millennium.
"Home to Me" as heard on Switched at Birth
A lifelong artist and music fan, Heller simply identifies television shows that are using music she loves or music similar to what she does. Her plucky indie jams are pleasant and light. Industry professionals have called them "accessible," in the sense that they're not ultra specific to particular people or scenarios, which also makes them good placement candidates for varied projects. Heller also performs around town at venues including Hotel Cafe. Her debut album Breaking Free will be released April 30.
In 2012, fully 28 of Heller's songs showed up in commercials and TV shows including Pretty Little Liars, Drop Dead Divas, One Tree Hill, Body of Proof, Switched at Birth and The Real World. Heller works two days a week and spends the rest of her time with her husband and one year old daughter. She makes a great living -- she prefers not to say publicly how much, but she told us and, trust us, it's not shabby.
See also: Why Is There So Much Indie Rock on Television?
Here's her hustle: After identifying a music supervisor whose work and tastes she admires, Heller researches that person through IMDB, Twitter, any mutual friends and events -- like panel discussions. Through their tweets and whatnot ("I discovered that one guy was a big fan of Z Cavaricci jeans") she gets a sense of who they are, what they care about. Then if it's a fit, she reaches out.
Rather than sending out mass emails, she writes a thoughtful, genuine message tailored to the person. (Her email to us began with, "what is playing in your car's CD changer right now?"). Everyone likes to feel special. Her emails get noticed. People write her back. She gets work. She also makes friends.
"A lot of people think sales is about numbers, like you just have to contact so many people and the odds are that somebody will respond," she says. "I don't look at it that way at all. Sales in any business is about people. When you connect with somebody, you need to think, 'I want to genuinely have a connection with you,' rather than 'you're a person I'm going to contact to see what you can do for me.'"
Although often stigmatized, licensing songs for commercials, film and television is one of the few ways that artists can still support themselves within the current sad face economic realities of the music industry. While licensing houses broker most of these deals by acting as middlemen between supervisors and artists, Heller does all of the work on her own. (Although she was formerly represented by someone who did this for her, the working relationship ended when he went to another agency).
"When I first moved to L.A. ten years ago," she says, "I went to this panel on 'how to make it in the industry.' Everyone else was really longwinded, but this one guy simply said, 'polite persistence' That's really all it comes down to."

Suburban slacker Noah (Hill) is watching a neighbor's kids when he gets a booty call from his horny girlfriend in the city. To hook up with her, Noah takes to the streets, but his urban adventure spins out of control as he finds himself on the run from a maniacal druglord. Raunchy laughs and insane action - it's all in a night's work for The Sitter. Amazon.comThe Sitter may be the last movie featuring the "heavy" version of Jonah Hill. With the many pounds he's since lost, many movie-industry minds are wondering if the Jonah Hill-ness of his screen persona, flaunted so prodigiously in the likes of Knocked Up, Get Him to the Greek, and Superbad, has disappeared from the scales too. But until Jonah 2.0 gets his chance, The Sitter couldn't capture his trash-talking, man-child, king-of-comeback essence more boldly, more lovingly, or with such blatant vulgarity. Hill plays Noah, a jobless twentysomething layabout still living with his divorced mom along with the delusion that he has a hot girlfriend (she only keeps him around for oral talents that are unrelated to speech). As a favor that might help Mom with her own sad love life, he agrees to a one-night babysitting stand for the neighbors and their three wildly dissimilar but equally messed-up children. The night progresses through slapstick, farce, adventure, romance, danger, pathos, and eventual catharsis for everyone. (Unfortunately there's a touch of maudlin, sentimental corn in the mix too.) The children are as important to the escapades as Noah and are the primary source of his stupid/smooth shtick that mixes clever put-downs, terrified jabbering, and hilariously relentless patter of urban slang vernacular. Noah's spoiled charges are two boys--an anxiety-wracked 13-year-old and a 10-year-old Nicaraguan adoptee with severe anger and pyromania issues--and a precocious 8-year-old-girl who's heavily into makeup, hip-hop, and a score of other age-inappropriate behaviors. As the four of them hurtle deeper into the night, the situations become more antically treacherous with drug dealers, gangster thugs, police officers, and upper-crust snobs as part of the mix, along with their knives, cocaine, diamonds, alcohol, and guns. Director David Gordon Green, whose unusual career has gone from art house (George Washington, All the Real Girls) to raunchy bromance (Pineapple Express, Your Highness), supplants formal technique with the off-kilter and oft-unseemly style of Jonah Hill vs. the world. Green sometimes evokes the flow of surreality that Martin Scorsese took to unnatural ends in After Hours, only with more dirty bits and a lot more full-on crude laughs. Nearly everyone in the large supporting cast makes an excellent foil for the star's constant streetwise riffing, especially Sam Rockwell, who digs in to his role as a psychotic but emotionally conflicted drug dealer always on the lookout for new best friends. But it is Jonah Hill who sits firmly, even heavily in the driver's seat. It's a great place to flash his better-honed actorly chops along with his beloved version 1.0 comedic gift. --Ted Fry CERTAIN CONTENT THAT APPEARS ON THIS SITE COMES FROM AMAZON SERVICES LLC.

Alabama's Unemployment Rate Holds Steady In March
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) â¿¿ State labor officials said Friday Alabama's unemployment rate held steady in March.
The unemployment rate last month was 7.2 percent, which is the same as March 2012, Alabama Department of Labor Commissioner Tom Surtees said. That rate represents 155,071 unemployed people, compared to 154,790 last month.
"This month we continued to see the labor force grow, which tells us that more people are re-gaining confidence in the job market. We also saw the number of people with jobs grow by nearly 7,000, with only a slight increase in the number of unemployed," Surtees said. "Even though the rate didn't decrease, these are still positive signs."
All but one of the state's 67 counties and all of the state's metropolitan areas saw their unemployment rates drop in March, Surtees said.Eight Alabama counties saw decreases in their unemployment rates of 1.5 percentage points or greater. These counties are: Barbour, Bullock, Choctaw, Cleburne, Conecuh, Lamar, Marion, and Winston. Counties with the lowest unemployment rates were: Shelby County at 4.7 percent, Blount County at 5.6 percent, and Lee County at 5.8 percent. Counties with the highest unemployment rates were: Wilcox County at 16.4 percent, Lowndes County at 13.4 percent, and Dallas County at 12.8 percent.

Product Description
Steeda Rear Chassis X-Brace for all 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 Coupe Mustangs.Some Mustang enthusiasts don't want to get rid of their rear seats for the added benefit of the rear chassis brace. Also, obtaining the rear seat delete parts from the Boss 302 is costly and having a rear seat delete made can be a challenge. Steeda addressed both issues and created an economical rear chassis x-brace that allows the rear seats to be used and fold down.
Steeda Rear Chassis X-Brace Features:
- Distributes loads between rear shocks, springs and chassis
- Allows the rear seats to be retained
- Much more effective than other designs
- Bolt-in or weld-in installation
Steeda's x-brace installs in the chassis area between the rear wheel wells behind the rear seats. By coupling this part of the rear structure together, chassis rigidity is greatly increased. This design is a significant improvement over Ford's original design for the Boss 302. By attaching to the rear shock towers (instead of attaching to the sheet metal behind the rear seats like the Boss 302 brace), the brace is able to more effectively distribute the loads between the rear shocks, springs and the chassis, and not just the sheet metal of the vehicle. The result is much more effective chassis deflection reduction with improved suspension compliance. Simply bolt the x-brace in place or weld it for maximum effectiveness.
Increase chassis rigidity without removing your rear seat with Steeda's Rear Chassis X-Brace for all 2005-2014 Mustang Coupes. Greatly improve suspension and chassis deflection with this affordable bolt-on upgrade.
*Does NOT fit convertibles or vehicles with Shaker/Mach 1000 stereo systems.
