"Fascinating Story, Mediocre Reader"
The history presented in this book is very interesting, especially for anyone interested in chemistry. The reader was sort of droning, but it didn't get in the way of my enjoyment too much.
Probably Not
It was more a listing of how various poisons work than any coherent story.
The performance was very flat.
"Gruesome but fascinating!"
I have already recommended this audiobook to several friends. It is the kind of listen that keeps you in the car after you have parked it and shut off the engine.
The books compares neatly to and in some ways complements The Murder of the Century, since Poisoner's Bible takes up in NYC about 15-20 years after the main events of the Murder of the Century took place in NYC. Between the two, you can see some major shifts in the way that criminal investigations were being conducted.
Mediocre, mediocre, and mediocre. She created minor but annoying distractions by mispronouncing the names of chemical elements and so forth. Her voice is pleasant and well-enough modulated, but either pronounciation should be checked ahead of time, or narrators who know something about the subject should be engaged.
Moved isn't the right word. Rather I was especially interested by the descriptions of the on-going mouse/mousetrap developments between government scientists, who were deliberately adding toxins to the already dangerous industrial alcohol in order to discourage people from drinking during prohibition and the (ahem) entrepreneurial chemists, who were trying to remove or mask the taste of those toxins so they could make money by selling hooch during prohibition. By some perverse quirk of human nature, one part of the public response to all of this was that the numbers of alcoholics, drunk-driving incidents, and alcohol-related deaths all apparently sky-rocketed as prohibition went on.
The new medical examiners and their chemists, the real subjects and heroes of the book, then had their work cut out, learning to track all these toxins through, mostly, cadavers and parts of cadavers.
If you liked the Ghost Map, or the Murder of the Century, you will probably enjoy this, too.
"Fascinating story, so-so narration"
I really enjoyed this - a fascinating look at science, told through interesting anecdotes and with a good historical context. I wasn't expecting to learn so much about Prohibition, which was an added bonus.
I have to say, though, I did not really love the narration. Her voice was kinda nasal and overemphatic. But by the last half either she had got better, or I had got used to her voice, and it was okay.
"What a shame"
The narration was so terrible - full of mispronounciations and innappropriate character voices- that I couldn't get through the first chapter. Very disappointed, as description of the book sounded so promising. Maybe I will buy the book.
"Really interesting book, slightly strange reader"
This book was really interesting--a combination of scientific examination of different kinds of poisons (cool!), CSI-type mystery solving, and interesting NYC history. It's a really cool idea and I really loved the content! The reader, on the other hand, was a bit weird. She seemed to mispronounce some words and she did a lot of kind of strange voices (over-wrought accents, not saying sentences properly, etc.). I liked the book nonetheless, though, and I'd recommend it for anyone interested in these types of "true crime" topics.
"Interesting subject"
Interesting subject matter. The editing of the narration isn't up to par though.
The editing is odd. There are gaps in weird places, such as mid-sentence.
"Excellent book. with a lite chemistry lesson."
I would suggest this book to a friend, I found the subject matter enjoyable and educating.
The chemistry education.
Rough Job
The narrator was disappointing.
"CSI here we come"
I thought the story itself was interesting, if a little choppy. Following the evolution of forensics was fun, but at times a little gruesome. The narration wasn't smooth - sometimes it almost sounded like a computer reading. At times there was some background noise. That being said I did enjoy it and might even listen again.
"It's the narrator, baby"
I read other reviews that warned me about the narration, and I'm glad I did: I was able to look past a pretty poor performance and see through to a very enjoyable book about the development of modern forensics in the Jazz Age by following the careers of two New York City pathologists. Had I not been warned, the reading would have driven me nuts.
Seems to me that if these narrators are getting paid to read these books, it might be in their best interest to read the books once through before the recording session and check the pronounciations of particular words. Some of her slips were embarrassing. And I agree with others' observations about the silly caricature voices that she uses for particular characters.
If I were Deborah Blum, I would be none too pleased with Ms. Marlo's rendition of my work.

First 100 Attendees at @ThingsExpo Silicon Valley "Breakout Session & BoF" Will Receive a Prototype (November 4-6, Santa Clara Convention Center, California)
The Physical Web is an open web project within the Chrome team at Google. Scott Jenson (pictured below) leads a team that is working to leverage the scalability and openness of the web to talk to smart devices.
Scott will report on the state of this research in a sessioin and BOF called "The Physical Web" on November 4 at Internet of @ThingsExpo at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Silicon Valley.
"The physical Web uses Bluetooth low energy beacons to broadcast an URL wirelessly using an open protocol. Nearby devices can find all URLs in the room, rank them and let the user pick one from a list," according to Scott.
Each device is, in effect, a gateway to a web page. This unlocks entirely new use cases so devices can offer tiny bits of information or simple interactivity. Imagine smart posters, bus stops, dog ID collars, vending machines, or interactive kiosks, all universally accessible without installing additional apps.
The beacons are slightly larger than a quarter and serve as type of "maker kit" so anyone can prototype this new interaction style. Scott will demonstrate the beacons during his session, and hand out sample working beacons to the first 100 in attendance. A Birds-of-a-Feather (BOF) session will immediately follow. Delegates will have the opportunity to interact with Scott Jenson directly.
"These beacons are an early concept prototype meant to help refine the open standard," Scott says. "This protocol can only succeed if it is open and used by everyone. In the Q&A, Scott will discuss how these are best used, areas that need more exploration, and where this technology is headed."
Tracks and topics for Internet of @ThingsExpo will include:
Consumer IoT and Wearables Track
- Smart Appliances
- Wearables
- Smart Cars
- Smartphones 2.0
- Smart Travel

However, the rapid adoption of APIs and almost ubiquitous availability of APIs amongst most SaaS and Cloud applications are rapidly redefining traditional integration approaches and their reliance on proprietary connectors. ...

He will not rat on his partners. This is his bottom line. He will talk to investigators about all the other guys he knows things about. He will talk about how narcotics cops get involved in the narcotics traffic, how they buy information with drugs, how they string out addicts and use them as informers, how they keep some of the money and some of the drugs after big busts. He will tell what he knows about how the other cops do these things. But he will not talk about his partners in his own unit. This is his code, and, of course, he is going to have to break it.
That is the central situation of Sidney Lumet's "Prince of the City." While you are watching it, it's a movie about cops, drugs, and New York City, in that order. After the film starts to turn itself over in your mind, it becomes a much deeper piece, a film about how difficult it is to go straight in a crooked world without hurting people you love.
Drugs are a rotten business. They corrupt everyone they come into contact with, because they set up needs so urgent that all other considerations are forgotten. For addicts, the need is for the drug itself. For others, the needs are more complex. The members of the special police drug unit in "Prince of the City," for example, take on an envied departmental status because of their assignment. They have no hours, no beats, no uniforms. They are elite free-lancers, modern knights riding out into the drug underworld and establishing their own rules. They do not look at it this way, but their status depends on drugs. If there were no drugs and no addicts, there would be no narcs, no princes of the city. Of course, their jobs are also cold, dirty, lonely, dangerous, thankless, and never finished. That is the other side of the deal, and that helps explain why they will sometimes keep the money they confiscate in a drug bust.
It's as if they're levying their own fines. It also explains why they sometimes supply informers with drugs: They know better than anyone how horrible the addict's life can be. "A junkie can break your heart," the hero of this movie says at one point, and by the movie's end we understand what he means.
The film is based on a book by Robert Daley about Bob Leuci, a New York cop who cooperated with a 1971 investigation of police corruption. In the movie, Leuci is called Ciello, and he is played by Treat Williams in a demanding and grueling performance. Williams is almost always onscreen, and almost always in situations of extreme stress, fatigue, and emotional turmoil. We see him coming apart before our eyes. He falls to pieces not simply because of his job, or because of his decision to testify, but because he is in an inexorable trap and he will sooner or later have to hurt his partners.
This is a movie that literally hinges on the issue of perjury. And Sidney Lumet and his co-writer, Jay Presson Allen, have a great deal of respect for the legal questions involved. There is a sustained scene in this movie that is one of the most spellbinding I can imagine, and it consists entirely of government lawyers debating whether a given situation justifies a charge of perjury. Rarely are ethical issues discussed in such detail in a movie, and hardly ever so effectively.
"Prince of the City" is a very good movie and, like some of its characters, it wants to break your heart. Maybe it will. It is about the ways in which a corrupt modern city makes it almost impossible for a man to be true to the law, his ideals, and his friends, all at the same time. The movie has no answers. Only horrible alternatives.

- One more important thing you may even enjoy doing is to help your students grasp what people say by focusing on their lips. You tell them that "understanding what people say is not only understanding the sound of the words they say, but also paying attention to their lips movement". For example, you can select several short and easy passages of a movie, and play to them with no volume (volume totally down). Then, ask them to imagine what people are saying. Remember that there is no language without imagination. To start, choose passages such as sombody saying "I lovo you", "Thank you", "Let's go", "My name is..." etc.
- You could also try exposing them to different accents and dialects.

- I think it's better to encourage them to listen to authentic language such as news that is available to them either consciously or subconsciously. Then teach them some strategies such as predicting, using context as a clue, concentrating to hear not just to listen. You can also teach listening by using bi-modal presentation of the English material, i.e. using audio and text simultaneously, such as audio transcription, captioning.
- You could also try exposing them to different accents and dialects.
- exposing your students beyond the classroom as controlled activity will be improved them in several cases.if an english teacher assign news TV activity as a kind of homework will be helped them .in my experiment which is more than 2 decades in teaching shows that most of the students eager to do the activity which her or his teacher assign.I ask them to bring to brief news caption and all the students should read and pay attention to the all students .My MA thesis is about this activity which I will send you soon.
- I agree that exposure to a variety of authentic listening material is crucial, as well as strategies such as predicting and guessing from context. The problem is, you can't teach strategies directly; you have to "create the conditions" in which those strategies will have to be invoked. Another important element is the listening TASK. Every listening activity should require the student to DO something, and the task should match the purpose for listening. For example, if you want them to pick out certain details from an announcement in a train station, then give them a train schedule with certain information "whited-out" on the schedule (e.g. an arrival time, or a track number for a departure, etc.), and ask them to fill in the missing information as they listen. Or if you want them to identify the sequence in a series of instructions, give them the written instructions in a mixed-up order and have them arrange them in the proper order as they listen. Etc., etc. These kinds of tasks force them to focus their listening for a particular purpose. So task design is crucial.
- Related to my comment above, you might find Rost's article, "Listening tasks and language acquisition" helpful: http://jalt-publications.org/archive/proceedings/2002/018.pdf

Remember that there is no language without imagination. To start, choose passages such as sombody saying "I lovo you", "Thank you", "Let's go", "My name is..." etc.
- Similar to Denise's, Gilberto's and other responses above, there are two fundamental points underlying the teaching point of listening: listening for, and listening to something. These are similar to though not the same as intensive and extensive listening respectively.
Similarly with skimming and scanning in reading, attention to listening for something is likely to bring more short-term success than simply listening (ore more to the point, hearing). This then can affect confidence and motivation to go on. Targeted listening, whether for a phoneme or prosodic point, grammatical or lexical or something related to meaning or gist or information is really useful, quantifiable (eg. I like news reports with numbers, quantities, names, event sequences, then active and passive agency myself, and tone and gist after that) and can be gauged for particular levels or purposes. This can become a jumping-off point for what some people call global listening, or asking 'what do you hear?', or better, 'what are they talking about?'.
One other, which is cheap and can even be done with student-produced materials is Grammar Dictation (the title of a book by Ruth Wajnryb published in 1994 I think by Oxford University Press) also known as 'Dictaglos'. The approach is a bit intensive and begins to work only after the second or third time - but if you can get it to work, classes become easier for you and heavy listening experiences for students that they cannot get enough of.
- I've been using song dictations now for over 10 years and it is always amazing to see how students improve their listening skills. I chose easy songs at the beginning of the semester - mostly old ones the students don;t know so that they do not search for the lyrics on the Internet. I started it as a warm-up activity at the beginning of my Freshman English classes. Just listen to a song. Then I thought, that it's a bit of wasting time and remembered that song dictations was actually what helped my brother, my sister, and me to improve our English listening skills. as we didn't have any computer and the Internet wasn't invented yet, there was no other way to get English lyrics than by listening to the songs and writing the texts down. So we would sit there together listening to the tape recorder and write down whatever we understood. Then we discussed, compared what we had and decided which one would make most sense. So that's what I'm doing now with my students. The first time, I let the song play twice, without interrupting it. They have to write down whatever they hear and then I give them 10 to 15 minutes to discuss in small groups. I also encurage them to compare with other groups. At the beginning of the second period, I play the song again so that they can check whatever they have discussed, guessed, etc. Normally during the third week we write the text to the blackboard. Whatever is missing, I first ask them to guess, I make them aware of endings, such as 'll, -ed, -ve, etc. which they mostly do not hear at the beginning of the semester but gradually, they are getting aware of quite a few things and are able to understand much more difficult songs.
- EXPOSURE to the type of language that covers what can be of interest to them...Krashen's meaningful input. I liked a program on BBC that introduces some news, then explains it, then repeats it. One can imagine the joy students might feel when, following the explanation when the ideas have become meaningful, they can understand the same news they listend to earlier but could not fully understand.
- Don't forget to use close-caption tv at times. Turn off the sound and read. Look at the lips as noted above. Put the captions back on and listen.
Work in pairs. Have one partner face the tv. Have the other student look in the opposite direction. The one looking in the opposite direction can retell what he has heard. The one watching can clarify. Change positions. Repeat.
- maybe these song activities could help you for the beginning, if you happen to have any questions, feel free to contact me, I would be glad to help.
- Dear Koray,
it's a super method. It will be interesting and effective both for students and teachers.Thank you, it's really working!
- It's a pleasure
- I don't subscribe to song activities - maybe because I can't sing, so I can't participate. Honestly, songs do not convey conversational English as natural as speaking activities. You find appropriate Web sites by asking your preferred search engine two simple keywords that I tell my English language students in Thailand: "ESL" and "listening". So they come up with lots of sites and can enjoy their own natural listening experiences. The best sites offer tape scripts that students can follow and activities like MCQs about the texts heard.
Let's listen to music for recreation, then.
- I disagree, Michael. The ESL listening activities on the Internet are HORRIBLE. They are highly stilted and unnatural - native speakers don't talk like that - and hark back to the days of Lado. MCQs are testing tools - weak ones, at that - not learning or teaching tools. And we mustn't forget the important role of motivation in learning, something which listening to song lyrics taps into very well. If learning can be recreational, instead of dull, boring and repetitive, so much the better: read James Paul Gee (a sociolinguist) on the learning potential of video games, for example.

If your students like it, why not? I remember, how all our lyceum sang "What is a youth?" from "Romeo and Juliet"or "Here comes the sun, duba-duba"Not long ago we obliged to show "Hard day's night" to our students. They turned out to be fans of Beatles!? "We shall overcome" or "We are flying", or "If you go to Rome, you'll see the Coliseum"etc are among grammar bestsellers,You can improve not only communicative skills, but also language, educational, developmental, culturological skills and knowledge of your students. And back translation? You see, I translated our romance into English.We can't learn and teach without a guitar.
- Carolyn Graham's Jazz Chants are great for developing speaking skills, esp. the suprasegmentals ( rhythm, stress and intonation) and everyday language. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_nPUuPryCs
- Thank you, Denise, Carolyn is so charming, she is like a sun. Children are in rapture!So effective. I like rap improvisation, too.With dancing, gymnastics, acting.Besides, a song is very nice for warming-up, or relaxation. Without imposing and naturally it achieves the communicative aims.Besides, it's merry!
- So far, the discussion on using songs in the ESL classroom seems to focus entirely on the formal aspects of language and discrete decoding skills (getting the words "right" by filling in the blanks on a cloze test, spelling, inferring a grammatical morpheme, etc.). No one has suggested activities that are meaning-focused: getting the students to respond in a personal way to the feelings, images, ideas evoked by the words and music. What is the message/theme? What feelings/images do these words evoke? Who is the singer addressing? What does he/she mean by "…"? Explain why you like/dislike the song. Etc., etc. Unlike form-focused exercises, where there are "right" and "wrong" answers, meaning-focused activities are more open-ended and interpretive, and foster the development of higher order listening skills, beyond mere decoding & encoding.
- You are right, it's in my every scenario of lessons. You can meet it in my publications in RG. You can see "A heart of the mother"("A star child", a musical), 'Romeo and Juliet", "Seeing is believing", "Macbeth is a product of libido dominandi", "Between reality and beyond", "Half the world I wandered through"(Japanese haiku), "Place, where crowd changes into people"(a musical after Maugham- Spanish and English) etc.I use integration of arts in every our creative product- see Classics:Navitas Vitae in English in RG.
- When I taught a literature as film course for ESL students, I used a lot of songs from each movie to combine interpretation with choice of usage of the song in the film.
- Try Blindfold Activity.
Ask your students to bring blindfolds
Ask them to wear blindfolds in class, narrate a paragraph to them, once you are finished reading, ask your students to remove blindfold & ask them questions about the narration. This exercise will help them to rely more on their ears than anything else.
- I think one of the tried and trusted techniques to enhance students listening is to ask them to write the whole texts in the listening sections or in video books and you can also make them listen to some selected parts at home and summarize it in the classroom.
- First of all we must develop listening skills in the sensitive age- from 5 up to 12. Children should listen to foreign language the more the better. It will be easier to improve their skills then. I like all the ways above, plus Hutchinson's method- during the listening of an interesting text there are interruptions with problem or prognostic questions.Or with the help of pictures, cartoons, or photos- a kind of "match', or using active learning strategies (it's the best way).
- Bahram is referring to dictation, which is often one of the most applicable measures of all-around language skills (grammar, vocabulary, spelling, comprehension, listening). It has a backwash on reading and writing too.
Alas, some cultures where we work either reject of belittle dictation. There have been simple rote memorization of vocabulary and structure in some of the dictation exercises in the past, but if using authentic dialogues from film, radio, or internet and simply focus on students practicing the act of playing and replaying the sections themselves before checking the answer, we can avoid the rote memorization elements which led to dictations failures in curricula development in the past.
- Dictation is not really a listening exercise; it is much more a grammar and spelling exercise. When we listen, we don't listen for every word, we listen for meaning, and that in turn is related to our purpose for listening (e.g. are we looking for the main idea – as e.g. when we listen to a news report – or are we looking for specific details – e.g. at what gate the plane is boarding, or whether it's supposed to rain today). If we are effective listeners, our minds will retain the information we are looking for, but we don't need to remember what the speaker said word-for-word. Good listening exercises need to incorporate this principle by (1) having learners listen to authentic texts (e.g. news reports, weather reports, automated telephone messages, airport announcements, interviews, commercials, stories, etc.), and (b) giving the learners a meaningful purpose for listening: e.g. "find out the times that the store opens and closes on Saturdays".
Dictation does serve a purpose, but as I said, not primarily for listening. It is a good way to reinforce both spelling and grammar. One dictation technique that is especially effective in that it integrates all 4 skills and focuses learners' attention on both meaning and form at the same time is "dictogloss". However, it's not really the topic of this question. Those interested in how to create different types of dictation exercises should look at Richard Kidd's "Teaching ESL Grammar Through Dictation" in the TESL Canada Journal (10:1, Fall 1992) at http://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ457629.pdf
- Denise is correct as far as listening goes. At the same time, dictation can improve a multitude of other global and discrete point language production skills across the curriculum.
For example, dictation is useful for extending certain listening skills. For example, some students never realize that certain verb tenses have been switched until they have to write it down. If they do not note the switch in tense they may make global errors as to what they are listening to.
As noted above, dictation is simply a good all-around test for whether a student has the appropriate English skills to take for example, a university level lecture class and be able to take home the right amount of material from such a lecture--i.e so as to be able to talk to others about. In such long lecture dictations, summaries are allowed for the students taking the dictation and one can allow time at end of the listening (to the dictation) for students to rework their writing and grammar. (I.e This is why it is considered one of the best all-around tests of skills in English.)
- Hello Kobkhan, go to Jani's ESL Page. This page is very useful as it is divided into themes and activities within these themes are divided into different levels of language acquisition. What I like about the page is that the listening activities are recorded by regular people speaking at a normal pace. The topics are very relevant to the teenage and adult age groups. Finally, there are many activities that target all four language skills and also the cultural dimension of language learning.

The 12th Man Student Foundation is a group of student leaders who promote the 12th Man Foundation and support Aggie Athletics. Student Foundation members believe that athletics are incredibly important to the future and legacy of Texas A&M, and they are committed to making our Texas A&M University the best that it can be. Members work to achieve this goal through assisting the 12th Man Foundation in promoting Aggie Athletics through fundraising, socials, and supportive functions.
The 12th Man Student Foundation Council works closely with the 12th Man Foundation to plan and provide exclusive opportunities for the students to contribute to the betterment of Texas A&M through athletic support. A few examples of this include the annual golf tournament and the sale of 12th Man towels before all home football games. Through fundraisers like these, the Student Foundation has assisted in funding major projects such as the renovations of Olsen Field at Blue Bell Park and the RC Slocum Dining Hall, as well as the updating of technology at the Center for Student Athletic Services.
The 12th Man Student Foundation has several opportunities for students to get to participate in Aggie Athletics including socials and road trips.

Marco Scutaro undergoes diagnostic nerve block
Mar 25, 2014, 11:34 PM EDT
From Andrew Baggarly of CSNBayArea.com …
PHOENIX – Marco Scutaro underwent a diagnostic nerve block procedure on Tuesday – likely a final needle in the coffin in his bid to play on opening day.
Scutaro has played just two innings this spring in the Cactus League because of recurring back and hip discomfort that first began bothering him around the middle of the 2013 season. The Giants are going to update his status on Wednesday morning, likely by announcing a season-opening 15-day disabled list stint.
Joaquin Arias, a .272/.302/.367 career hitter in 327 major league games, is expected to fill in at second base in the early going for the Giants. Ehire Adrianza and Brandon Hicks are also options at the keystone.
Scutaro, 38, is entering the second year of a three-year, $20 million contract signed in December 2012.
- insidefastball - Mar 26, 2014 at 4:33 AM
Wouldn't signing Drew make some sense for the Giants? They are very weak in the middle infield
- thundabolt - Mar 26, 2014 at 4:53 AM
They don't going to get Drew. Crawford is too good defensively and not losing his job anytime soon, and they're likely going to try and survive the Scutaro injury with their farm system.
- gnatsfan45 - Mar 26, 2014 at 7:15 AM
It's the same reason why no one else has signed him; what you give up is not worth the return. Besides his declining stats and his inability to stay healthy you lose draft picks. Drew is in baseball purgatory!
- shaggylocks - Mar 26, 2014 at 9:49 AM
Note to undertakers: don't build coffins with needles. Use nails, they're more durable.
- clydeserra - Mar 26, 2014 at 9:58 AM
1b Brandon Belt, 2b, Brandon Hicks, ss Brandon Crawford, 3b??? they need to sign Inge pronto.
- temporarilyexiled - Mar 26, 2014 at 11:30 AM
Ehire Adrianza may just turn out to be a fine replacement at 2B. The other three infield positions will be fine this year. Next year, yeah, they'll need someone at 3B. I have no idea if Chase Headley will be available. I also have no idea who else is good enough to follow Sandoval. But it says here that the Panda finds himself eating some other teams bamboo within the year, so the Giants better come up with someone better than Joaquin Arias.
- marklar1025 - Mar 26, 2014 at 1:54 PM
Its Freddy Sanchez all over again. Giants cant catch a break at 2B. Ray Durham was the last solid 2B they had.
- temporarilyexiled - Mar 26, 2014 at 2:45 PM
And it's not like HE got injured or anything…wait…
- akgobears - Mar 27, 2014 at 12:51 PM
Durham was ok, but he was often injured too…..the last solid everyday 2nd baseman for the Giants was Robbie Thompson

Full detailed profile on Eric Brady Played by Greg Vaughan on Days of Our Lives Daytime Soap Opera.
Greg Vaughan (NBC)
Birthday: June 15 1973
Dan and Nic arrive at his place and he undresses. Nicole gets ideas but he dashes to his room to change. Nicole considers dumping the files she copied. Daniel returns decked out and they open the door to Serena and Eric. Serena starts yelling.
At the hospital, Jenn goes over Eric's proofs and notices a photo of Serena Mason. He tells Jenn they've been reconnecting and talks about how she and Nicole fought and it hurt his relationship with Daniel. Jenn's sympathetic.
Dan arrives at the hospital and is told another doctor took his place in ER. He calls Nicole to ask her to meet in the park to throw snowballs around and then runs into Eric who wants to discuss Nicole and Serena. Daniel tells his friend about the girls' attempt to make amends this morning.
Marlena stops by Eric's, worried Nicole is going to ruin everything for Eric and Serena. Eric would prefer if Nicole lived in another continent. He's worried he'll lose Serena before they can see where their relationship is headed. Later, Marlena has gone and Serena arrives. She assures him that they're fine and they make a date for later.
At the nightclub door, Eric and Daniel realize Serena and Nicole are both in there together. Inside, Nicole and Serena have a shoving match that turns into a full-out catfight. Rafe breaks it up as Eric and Daniel rush in. The girls go at it verbally over the spilled drink. Rafe apologizes for Nicole's temper as Eric takes Serena out. Nicole is aggravated. Rafe says it's his first night. Daniel agrees he doesn't deserve this. Nicole apologizes but wonders why she's always the one who has to say sorry.
At Eric's place, he tells Serena he's sorry they ran into Nicole. Serena admits she got to her, but she can take it. When it becomes clear there will be no sex, Serena decides she'll head to the hotel. Eric assures her Nicole won't wreck what they have. Outside, Serena searches online and says, "This is what I'm up against."
Eric drops by Serena's place with the photo of the King Vulture she chose, blown up, and framed. Things get passionate so Eric stops things. Her envelope falls to the floor and Eric picks it up and looks inside. She tells him to stop, before he sees the photos of him half nude in a bed. They head out to the new club and the camera pans to the photo of the vulture.
Serena wants to talk about something important with Eric at the pub. She tells him he lost a bet and shows him a piece of paper from years ago. She's collecting.
Eric takes Serena back to his place and they make out. She wants him but he can't do it. She wonders if he's not over Nicole. He is. They find a photo for her to keep of his that settles their long ago bet.
Serena and Eric walk in on Theresa in the lounge holding the baby rattle and looking shaken. (Sorry for the pun!) Eric takes Theresa aside, knowing she's upset. She calls him a good person. "Good people confuse me." He tells her to call anytime and goes. She leaves a message for Melanie to get to the hospital.
