stevengaines that's the best you can do?! Your a joke!
Hey stevengaines why should police or fire work for free-they are the first to put their life on the line for you and I and they sure as H-- don't get paid enough compare to your stupid sports players! If you think you can handle the job why are you not doing it. Because it takes a special BRAVE type of person! And you think 100K is alot of money-now days! Wake up!

|HOK Designs Chicago's First 'Green' Parking Garage
|Tuesday, 17 August 2010 08:24
"Clients across a wide range of sectors have been asking us for architectural solutions that push the sustainable envelope," said Todd Halamka, Director of Design for HOK's Chicago office. "For this assignment, Friedman Properties gave us the opportunity to collaboratively envision what a 'green' parking garage could be. Our design is sustainably astute and sets a new standard for this building type."
Sustainable design features for Greenway Self-Park include a cistern rain water collection system, electric car plug-in stations, and a way-finding system at each elevator lobby that educates Chicagoans on how to live more sustainably and better protect the environment. Perhaps most significant is a 12-paired array of vertical turbines, located on the southwest corner of the garage, which were designed to harvest the wind to power the exterior wall lighting of the facility. A reversible meter was also installed to measure and return power to the city's grid throughout the year.
"Parking garage designs in Chicago have had a long tradition of disguising themselves as office buildings with false façades," added Halamka. "Our design attempts to break from that model and deliver an entirely new aesthetic."
HOK's team worked closely with client Friedman Properties to create a practical, yet architecturally distinctive garage. In a departure from the typical, closed-exterior-wall design (one that requires 24-hour mechanical ventilation) used on other parking garages, the team conceived a naturally ventilated exterior wall design, utilizing a glazed screen that eliminates the need for a mechanical system entirely. This unique glazed screen is comprised of a visually layered fabric of breathable glass channels that progressively reveal the inner concrete super-structure of the building. Together, the screen and channels provide an interesting visual play from day to night, throughout the 24-hour operation of the garage. The ground-level floor of the garage is reserved for retail space.

Inside the MFAH
"Inside the MFAH" provides perspectives, conversations, and opinions from insiders at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
03 JulWed / 2013It's easy to make an entire day of enjoying Turrell's work here in Houston, whether you're a visitor or a Houstonian who has never gotten around to all these (free) sights
27 JunThu / 2013Just over a year ago, I embarked on a challenge to create a teen program that happened outside of school. We wanted a program that encouraged teens to decide for themselves that the MFAH was a cool enough place to be during their limited free time, so we decided on the HOMAGO (hanging out, messing around, geeking out) model. After weekly conversations with teens and lots of experimentation, we came up with hang@MFAH:...
09 AprTue / 2013In several of the paintings in "Picasso Black and White," Pablo Picasso characteristically leaves visible traces of earlier sketches on his canvas. The visible underdrawing and erasures are known as "pentimenti."
18 FebMon / 2013Visit the MFAH beginning February 24 to see the tapestry version of Pablo Picasso's renowned Guernica painting. The tapestry is part of the exhibition "Picasso Black and White" . . .
08 JanTue / 2013"Woman with Outstretched Arms" has a special place in Picasso's career. As a child, he cut figures and animals from paper for to entertain his younger sisters, and cut paper played a major role in his development of Cubist collage. Decades later, he returned to making cutouts once again, and in the early 1950s he began to translate his paper maquettes into small cut-and-folded sheet metal figures.

A video made in Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 (Trial version). I only used material from Metal Gear Solid 2, so the scenes, quotes an music are all from that game. I got the material from: - www.newzealandstory.com/mgs All the cutscenes from MGS:TTS, MGS2 and MGS3, in excellent quality in both the video as the audio department, unfortunately the video wasn't compatbitle with Adobe Premiere, so I could only use the audio. If someone knows how I can make them work in Premiere, please let me know. - www.metalgearsolid.org A lof of cutscenes in pretty good quality, too bad there isn't much The Twin Snakes material. - www.mgstruefans.aibum.net A lot of cutscenes for MGS:TTS, MGS2, MGS and MGS3.

The concept is simple. Place a digital camera next to the
eyepiece of a spotting scope...and fire away.
Why does this generate such great advantage? A good quality spotting scope can produce an excellent image at 30x. Many digital cameras have a 3x or higher optical zoom. Combining a 3x camera with a 30x scope results in 90x magnification. In general terms, this is the equivalent of a 35mm camera with more than a 4000 mm telephoto lens!
How do I determine the mm equivalent of my digital camera/spotting scope combination?
In binoculars and spotting scopes the "X" means times normal. 3X would be 3 times normal size.
It isn't as straightforward with digital cameras. That's because the times X does not mean the same thing in digital cameras as it does in spotting scopes or binoculars. And to make matters more confusing, different digital cameras have different actual levels of magnification, even if they are advertised as having the same level.
For example, two different digital cameras may both say they have a 10X zoom, so it sounds like they provide the same level of magnification. This is not necessarily the case, however.
In digital cameras, the "10X" means the longest focal length
Here's an example:
Camera one: The shortest focal length on camera one is 28 mm. At 3X, the effect is 28 x 3 or 84 mm. When converted to times normal, this is 1.68X. (50 mm is considered 1 times normal)
Camera two: The shortest focal length on camera two is 35 mm, at 3X the effect is 35 x 3 or 105 mm. When converted to times normal, this is equivalent to 2.1X.
With a 20x spotting scope and a 3x digital camera with a shortest focal length of 35 mm, we have 20 x 2.1 or 42X times actual, or the equivalent of 2100 mm.
For years, the capability has existed to attach 35mm cameras to spotting scopes. Why the sudden jump in popularity of using a spotting scope as a camera lens? A combination of factors has contributed.
1. The optics quality of spotting scopes improved substantially as they became a more important tool to bird watchers.
2. Digital cameras have multiple advantages over cameras that use film, including:
- Immediate feedback on the quality of the image.
- Bad images can be erased immediately.
- Images can be transferred directly to a computer for cropping or other adjustments.
- Advanced users can adjust exposure levels as they shoot.
- Eliminating film greatly reduce both the cost of taking photographs and the inconvenience of film development.
When did digiscoping begin?
Laurence Poh of Malaysia is often credited with the
invention/popularization of digiscoping. In 1999, Laurence
combined a Nikon CoolPix 950 camera with his birding spotting scope and
took his first "digiscoped" photograph. Early adaptors of
the technology often used modified bottle or milk carton caps to
prevent direct contact between the camera lens and the spotting
scope. As the popularity of digiscoping has grown, more
sophisticated mounting designs have been developed, though the lowly
bottle cap with the center cut out continues to be popular with many
Digiscoping is an effective tool for documenting unusual bird sightings. If you already have a spotting scope and digital camera, or are considering their purchase, you are well on your way to the world of successful digiscoping.
All images in the digiscoping section are digiscoped images.

Bolt his is very Bold! that's a sper shade of red & the black just reinforces the sharpness if the red! Love it..reminds me of 50 shades as wellReplyDelete
*this is very bold! That's a super shade of red.......ReplyDelete
Super cute idea- why not cut your tape into rectangles rather than using separate pieces to tape off the edges? I totally get the Mondrian reference, which makes me wonder...could we do Rothko by taping of individual rectangles? Sounds like some work, but you've got me curious!ReplyDelete
I thought about the rectangles, but I have to figure out a way to pick up an edge of the tape for removal without messing up the polish, since the tape would be in the center of the nail..Delete
ooh this is cool! Love the boldness:)ReplyDelete
i love the contrast and it is just so vibrant! Great job!ReplyDelete
I love red and black combinations! :)ReplyDelete
This is super cute!ReplyDelete
awesome as always!ReplyDelete
I agree with Jessica - for a lazier route you could stick a big rectangle of tape down the middle and do three sides at once! But I guess I'm an expert at finding the lazy route :P I love the rectangle idea !ReplyDelete

An athletic shoe includes impact sensing means disposed in contact with the impact cushioning material disposed between the inner sole and the outer sole of the shoe. The impact sensing means comprises a rupturable material having encapsulated dye. If the impact pressure effective upon the medium exceeds a predetermined value, the medium ruptures, releasing the dye for providing a visual indication that the impact pressure exceeded a predetermined value. A plurality of strips of rupturable material can be provided, each rupturing at a different pressure and each having dye of a respectively different color.
1. An athletic shoe having an inner sole, an outer sole and shock absorbing cushioning material disposed between said soles, the improvement comprising:
a rupturable medium containing dye in an encapsulated form disposed in contact with said cushioning material, said medium being rupturable responsive to pressure acting thereupon exceeding a predetermined value, thereby causing encapsulated dye to be released;
a dye absorbing pad superposed on said medium for becoming stained by released dye, and
a liftable tab disposed for covering said rupturable medium and pad.
2. An athletic shoe as set forth in claim 1, said liftable tab forming a part of said inner sole.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,776,331 entitled "Bandage," dated Oct. 11, 1988, there has been disclosed a bandage which includes pressure responsive means for providing an indication when the bandage applied to a part of a human body is too tight, causing pain. The pressure responsive means comprises a medium in sheet or strip from having encapsulated fluid, liquid or gas. The medium ruptures when a predetermined pressure is exceeded, thereby releasing the fluid. When the fluid comprises a liquid dye, the staining of the bandage provides a visual indication that a condition of excessive pressure is present.
It is now disclosed to use substantially the same pressure responsive means in connection with athletic shoes to indicate when the condition of excessive impact force is experienced by the wearer of the shoe. It is well known that runners and joggers experience very high impact forces on their feet and that such condition can lead to severe, sometimes permanent, bodily injury. In order to avoid this condition, athletic shoes include significant cushioning material between the inner sole and the outer sole for reducing the impact shock. Such cushioning material may comprise several layers of rubberized material, air cushions, gel material, etc.
The present invention discloses an arrangement wherein a strip of a rupturable medium containing dye in an encapsulated form is disposed in contact with the cushioning material, for instance at the location of the heel. When the impact force effective upon the rupturable medium exceeds a predetermined value, the medium ruptures and the escaping dye will stain the inner sole or, for instance, the sock of the person wearing the shoe. Therefore, a jogger or runner can be warned that the shoe has insufficient cushioning material, or that the cushioning material no longer is effective, having reached the end of its useful life. It will be apparent that a shoe construction of this type has significant benefits to joggers, runners, and sprinters, warning them of potential harm prior to actual and permanent injury.
One of the principal objects of this invention, therefore, is the provision of a new and improved athletic shoe construction.
Another important object of this invention is the provision of an athletic shoe construction having an impact sensing means in contact with the cushioning material normally provided in the shoe.
Another important object of this invention is the provision of an athletic shoe construction having an impact sensing means disposed in the shoe, the sensing means comprising a rupturable medium containing dye in an encapsulated form, said dye being released when a predetermined pressure acting thereupon is exceeded.
A further and important object of this invention is the provision of an athletic shoe having an impact sensing means comprising liquid dye in an encapsulated form, the dye being released when a predetermined pressure acting upon the sensing means is exceeded.
A still further object of this invention is the provision of an athletic shoe construction having impact sensing means in the form of strips of a rupturable medium, each strip containing dye of a different color and each strip being rupturable at a different predetermined impact force acting thereupon.
Further and still other objects of this invention will be more readily apparent from the following description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a view at a typical athletic shoe;
FIG. 2 is a sectional view showing the impact cushioning material and impact sensing means;
FIG. 3 is a plan view of an impact sensing means comprising a strip with encapsulated dye;
FIG. 4 is an elevational view of the strip with encapsulated dye;
FIG. 5 is a sectional view of an alternative embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 6 is a plan view of a plurality of strips, each having encapsulated dye, but each strip being rupturable at a respectively different pressure, and
FIG. 7 depicts a further alternative embodiment.
Referring no to the figures and FIG. 1 in particular, there is shown a typical athletic show 10 as may be used for jogging, running, etc. The shoe has an inner sole, not visible in FIG. 1, engaged normally by the foot of the wearer, and an outer sole 12 normally contacting the road.
As seen in FIG. 2, the inner surface or sole 14 and the outer sole 12 are separated by suitable impact cushioning material 16. The cushioning material may comprise various materials, such as rubberized foam, air cushions, gel, etc. and combinations thereof. A pocket 18 is provided in the cushioning material near the inner sole 14 and the pocket is provided with an impact sensing means 20. In the present embodiment, the sensing means 20 comprises a medium 22, FIGS. 3 and 4, suitable plastic sheeting, having localized areas of encapsulated dye 24 in liquid, semi-liquid or dry form. Sheets of this type are well known, see patent supra, and may be cut to strip form. The plastic sheeting is of such thickness and character as to rupture when a predetermined impact pressure effective thereupon is exceeded, causing then the encapsulated dye to become released from one or more of the areas of encapsulation.
As seen in FIG. 2, if the foot of the wearer impacts upon the strip with encapsulated dye with a pressure sufficient to cause rupture thereof, the encapsulated dye is released to stain the inner sole, the cushioning material and/or the sock of the wearer of the shoe. Thus, a warning is provided that the impact pressure is greater than desired or considered safe for the runner. Since the impact pressure generally is greatest at the heel area, it is considered good practice to place the rupturable medium 22 at or near the heel area of the shoe.
FIG. 5 shows an alternative embodiment. The inner sole 14 at the area of the pocket or recess 20 is provided with a transparent cover 26 so that the dye, when released, is confined to the pocket, but is visible through the cover 26. Alternatively, the cover 26 may be made from a material which is readily stained by the dye, or the inner sole which normally is dyed, can be left without dye at the area which covers the rupturable medium.
In a further alternative embodiment seen in FIG. 6, a plurality of strips 22A, 22B and 22C are provided in the shoe. Each of the strips is made to rupture at a different specific impact pressure so that medium 22A will rupture upon exceeding pressure P1, medium 22B upon exceeding pressure P2, and medium 22C upon exceeding pressure P3. If each of the strips contains dye of a different color, e.g., red, green, and black, the severity of the impact pressure is discernible. Still another alternative embodiment shown in FIG. 7 depicts the inner sole 14 provided with a liftable tab or cover 14A. A dye absorbing pad 30, for instance, white cotton material, is superposed on the impact sensing means 20. If dye is released from the encapsulated locations, the pad 30 will be stained and such staining will become visible either through the tab 14A, if it is transparent, or by lifting the tab 14A, if the tab is opaque. The construction shown in FIG. 7 enables the sensing means 20 and the pad 30 to be replaced if dye has been released, or the use of selected sensing means rupturing at different predetermined pressures as described heretofore.
It will be apparent therefore, that the impact sensing means disclosed above provides an important safeguard to runners and joggers, indicating when the impact pressure reaches undesirable high values. The jogger has then the option to change the shoes or modify his running.
While there has been described and illustrated a preferred embodiment of the invention and several alternative embodiments have been shown, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various further changes and modifications may be made without departing from the broad principle of this invention, which shall be limited only by the scope of the appended claims.

Groom killed while helping motorist in snow
Chicago • A man married less than seven hours was killed along with a stranded motorist he stopped to help in the snow when they were struck by several vehicles, authorities say.
The man was on the way back from his wedding reception to a hotel when the accident happened.
William "Riley" Knight, 49, of Crown Point, was driving with his wife, Nikki, about 11:45 p.m. Saturday when they saw a woman who had slid off the road in the snow near Crown Point.
"He said, 'We've got to stop, it's late and they need help,'" Nikki Knight told the Chicago Sun-Times (http://bit.ly/INP0kU ) on Sunday.
He pulled his truck into a nearby driveway and Nikki Knight waited inside while he went out to help Linda Darlington, 42, of Crown Point. They were standing by the side of the road when they were struck by one vehicle, and then two more, the Lake County sheriff's office said.
Nikki Knight, a registered nurse, said when she got to the wreck, neither Knight nor Darlington had pulses. They were pronounced dead at the scene early Sunday.
"I went from a being a newlywed to a widow in less than 48 hours — the highest high to the lowest low," Nikki Knight said. "It's a blur."
Police said all drivers involved in the crash remained at the scene. No charges had been filed as of Sunday afternoon.
Knight also is survived by two his two daughters, a stepdaughter and stepson.

Facebook Inc. is planning to start pitching its stock to investors on Monday, and may set its initial public offering for May 18, the Wall Street Journal reports, citing "people familiar with the matter".
It said Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg appear in some stops on the roadshow. If it goes smoothly, Facebook will set final pricing for the deal the day before. News media have been speculating for months about when Facebook would hold its IPO, which could raise as much as $10 billion.

Now as we go into 2008, all three consoles have had plenty of time to make themselves known to the world. Even though the Xbox 360 has slipped somewhat, Microsoft believes it is temporary and that 2008 will see the 360 get boosts in sales. They probably aren't swinging on Japan for this, as that is one market where it is doing terribly. They are, however, setting their sites on Europe and are planning to increase sales across several European countries.
How exactly they plan on doing that isn't clear. The console is already out; there's nothing more to wow gamers with, except perhaps new games. Interestingly, however, they see the PS3 as a bigger threat to them than the Wii even though the PS3 has sold only half the number of consoles the 360 has. It will be interesting to see what Microsoft has in store for the 360 in 2008, especially with the willingness to adapt and update the console, something relatively new in the console world.

Gossip Girl
How Is Chuck Bass Different on Television's Gossip Girl vs. In the Books?
Chuck Bass has changed alot over the six seasons of Gossip Girl — both aesthetically and emotionally. But those transformations barely scratch the surface of the character's differences.
For those of you who have read the Cecily von Ziegesar novels that spawned the show, you know that the Chuck we have come to love and loathe through Ed Westwick's portrayal of him is a far cry from the one we read about years ago.
Parents: In the novels, Chuck lives with his parents, Bart and Misty Bass. On the television show, Chuck's mother is said to have died in childbirth and his heartless father "dies" while Chuck is still a minor.
Role in the group: In the novels, Chuck is an antagonist who is only kept around because he has money and his parents are friends with the parents of the other upper crusters. On TV, Chuck starts out as an annoyance, but is legitimately friends with his cohorts. Throughout the seasons, he becomes less of a playboy and more of a friend to lean on — particularly for Nate (Chace Crawford) and Blair (Leighton Meester).
School: In the books, Chuck attends Riverside Preparatory School for Boys on the Upper West Side with Dan (Penn Badgley), who is there on scholarship. On the show, he goes to St. Jude's with Nate (and Dan too). Also, in the books he fails to get into college because he is lazy and has poor grades. On the show, college is never really discussed at length because he has great business sense and takes over Bass Industries after his father dies.
Dating life: In the novels, Chuck flits around and hooks up with whomever he pleases — women and men. Although he does have a relationship with Blair, it's not until later in the series and it doesn't have nearly the impact on him that the televised B Waldorf does. On the show, Chuck messes around a lot in the beginning — and has a couple other real relationships throughout — but his love life centers largely around Blair throughout.
Fashion sense: He is described in the books as having a flamboyant fashion sense and he has a thing for scarves. On TV, well, that's sort of true too. However, his ridiculous first and second season outfits get a haute treatment later on, with "brutish, Wall Street" suits replacing less-tailored and less coordinated ensembles.

Welcome to The Peanut Butter Jam. This is a rock and roll show for the whole family. Sure, we'll spin some "kids' rock," but we also play songs that won't irritate mom or dad. Older kids love The Peanut Butter Jam, too!
The program is designed to just have a little fun with rock and roll at the root of the show.
Miss Courtney, the DJ for the show, is herself a mom. She knows how difficult it is to find something to listen to that all family members can agree on. She and producer Chris Wienk decided to make a show that would be kid friendly (and kid approved), but that would not make the adults in the family go nuts as they listened to inane pop songs that were "dumbed-down."
On The Peanut Butter Jam, you're likely to hear kids music done by indie rock innovators like Dan Zanes, They Might Be Giants, The Jellydots, The Dandy Lions and more. Plus, you'll hear great classics from David Bowie, Elton John, The Beatles and more. It's all mixed together with Miss Courtney's friendly and inviting tone. She knows how to make us all smile.
The Peanut Butter Jam is a production of Exit 97.7, WEXT, Amsterdam – a service of WMHT Educational Telecommunications.

About Us
This situation provides a unique opportunity and challenge to create a modern state-of-the-art Armor and Cavalry Museum that captures a vision of excellence and relevance while preserving our cultural heritage. The entire Armor Collection will eventually be displayed in the National Armor and Cavalry Museum.
The museum will be a core component of the Maneuver Center of Excellence as both an educational resource and center for study of the history of the Mounted Force. It will also take a central role in supporting unit, organization, and Soldier history and heritage, and provide the public with a window to the Army--in particular, it's mounted warriors, their history, and their role in national development.
While the museum will provide modern storage, maintenance, and exhibit capabilities for the more than 9000 micro artifacts and 380 macro artifacts in the Armor Collection, it will also provide resources in support of ongoing research and development of doctrine, policy and equipment.
We appreciate your support
In 2011, the Armor Center and School completed it's move from Fort Knox, KY, to Fort Benning, GA, to form the
Maneuver Center of Excellence
. Included in that move was the Armor Collection, which was displayed at the Patton Museum.

My friend the
anthropologist says there is no such thing as truth. She says that she's interviewed
people in the field who completely contradict each other. One says the volcano erupted and
the other says it didn't. They both say it with equal conviction.
I say: one of them
is wrong. Either the volcano erupted or it didn't. Not that perspective isn't
important. Our two observers may have had different vantage points from which they viewed
the volcano; they may not be speaking about the same volcano; they may have different
definitions of what volcano means, likewise for eruption. But, I argued, it is possible to
define "volcano eruption," and know for sure if it happened or not.
Of course, it may
not matter in the slightest whether the volcano erupted. What my anthropologist friend
might really be interested in is the perspectives of the folks who interpret volcano
activity. She may learn a great deal about people by listening to what they have to say
about nature, the passage of time, the meaning of "natural disasters," etc.
Focusing strictly on the question of whether the volcano technically erupted or not would
lead her away from more interesting ideas and perspectives. She is not there to uncover
the "truth" about a one-time volcano eruption; she is there to understand more
about a people.
As most people are
now aware, the powerful testimony – I Rigoberta
Menchu — by a 23-year old Mayan woman, which told the riveting story of the
injustice, oppression and massacres experienced by her people at the hands of the
Guatemalan military, was not "true" in all of its details. According to David
Stoll in his book Rigoberta Menchú and the Story of
All Poor Guatemalans, these falsehoods include writing that:
Menchu's life was a triumph over childhood illiteracy and lack of
schooling, but in fact she attended Catholic boarding schools, according to nuns who
operated them;
the brother she said was set on fire while she
and her family watched was probably shot and then set on fire later;
another brother, said to have starved to death, is in fact still alive and
the owner of a homestead;
a land battle that Rigoberta Menchu says her father waged against rich
Guatemalans of European descent was actually a dispute between her father and his in-laws.
Menchu has not offered detailed responses,
choosing instead to focus on the fact that she never meant her story to be strictly
personal. Indeed, in the book itself, I, Rigoberta
Menchu, she writes, "I'd like to stress that it's not only my life, it's
also the testimony of my people." She
told Larry
Rohter of the Times that her autobiography
is "part of this historical memory and patrimony of Guatemala," and recently, as
reported by Associated
Press, Menchu says, "I was a survivor, alone in the world, who had to convince
the world to look at the atrocities committed in my homeland."
Does it matter whether Rigoberta Menchu told the
truth throughout her book? It depends who you ask.
Most of the professors who use the book in their courses will continue to do
so because they believe "Menchu's story speaks to a greater truth about
oppression in Central America," according to an article in the
Chronicle of Higher Education.
The Nobel Committee that
honored her with the 1992 Nobel Peace Prize
is not revoking her award because their decision to give it to her was not based on the
book, but on her peace work. Besides, says a member of the Nobel Committee, "All
autobiographies embellish to a greater or lesser extent."
Those concerned with peace
and justice in Guatemala believe that Menchu's slight prevarications are meaningless
compared to the ongoing lies and disinformation campaigns perpetrated by the Guatemalan
government, aided and abetted by the United States. In their review in The Nation of David Stoll's book, Greg Grandin
and Francisco Goldberg remind us that the year before I, Rigoberta Menchu came out, the Guatemalan army
committed 400 massacres, killing over 100,000 and leaving more than a million homeless.
Perhaps Menchu did not witness her brother being
burned to death. But he was brutally murdered.
And there were many whose executions were
witnessed by relatives. Does it really matter which Mayan was executed by which method,
with which witnesses in attendance? For those who want to reverse the pain and oppression
experienced by the Mayans in their homeland, the much more relevant lies are the ones told
by our own government with mainstream media support.
To the mainstream U.S.
media, it seems to matter a great deal that Menchu's memoir includes inaccuracies.
David Stoll's book has been widely reviewed and reported on, and the New York Times sent Larry Rohter to Guatemala to
confirm Stoll's story. The media thus walks away from the whole affair seeming to be
hell bent on uncovering the truth. Would that they dispatched investigative reporters to
dissect Kissinger's recent memoir.
While activists, academics and reporters debate
the truth about Rigoberta Menchu, the New York Review of
Books boasts proudly on the cover of its April 8, 1999 edition that we need look no
further. Their lead essay is: "The Truth About
Rigoberta Menchu," by Peter Canby, who consistently refers to her by her first
name only in his lengthy article (while he refers to all others by their last names), and
who has this to say about Menchu after a brief personal encounter:
"In New York in mid-February, I
attended Rigoberta's press conference in a midtown United Nations office tower. She
is so small that when she sat in a chair her feet barely touched the ground. The combined
effect of her very large head and the traditional costume she wore was to make her look
disconcertingly like a doll. She seemed irrepressibly talkative and curious about her
audience and also, in view of her difficult situation, surprisingly unconcerned with
I can only imagine what Menchu might have been
feeling sitting in the annoyingly large UN chair, surrounded by giants with small heads,
wearing severe, monochromatic costumes.
Ultimately, there do appear to be inaccuaracies in
I, Rigoberta Menchu, and I believe the book is
weaker for them. The atrocities being perptrated against the Mayans by the military were
bad enough. No need to fabricate anything for affect. Once you start seeing and reporting
only the evidence that supports your story, then pretty soon you can't see the whole
picture. Menchu's father may have been having an intra-Mayan (even intra-family) land
dispute, but that does not mean that the racist patterns of land ownership in Guatemala
did not provide a meaningful context to land struggles amongst the Mayans. Our job is to
try to uncover and report the truth in all its nuance and complexity. I believe it is
important to do this even if it temporarily weakens our cause – whatever it may be.
Furthermore, and more importantly, we must rank the relevance and importance of the
evidence we uncover. In the case of Menchu's memoir, the falsehoods are insignificant
compared to the U.S. role in the economic exploitation and mass murder of Guatemalan
peasants. About the latter, we can actually do something. And any change we bring about
would have benefits that would be widely felt.

KENT, Wash. (AP) -- A King County sheriff's spokeswoman says two male high school students accused of showing off a handgun to other students have been detained.
Sgt. Cindi West says deputies responded Tuesday after a call from Kentlake High School officials. Deputies found that a 16-year-old with a gun in his backpack reportedly got the weapon from a 17-year-old. West says the 17-year-old told officers he took the gun from his aunt's house in Eastern Washington -- without her knowledge -- when he visited recently.
The spokeswoman says there were no reports of threats. It wasn't immediately clear why the gun was brought to school.
Kent School District spokesperson Chris Loftis tells KING-TV that multiple students told school officials about the loaded gun.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - Freshman John Twichell collected five RBI, including three on a blast to deep center field, and the Cherry offense outlasted Silver for a 17-12 victory that sent them to a 3-0 series sweep in the Cherry-Silver series Thursday afternoon at Lobo Field.
In a game that saw 28 total hits and 29 runs exchanged, Cherry broke a 12-12 tie in the top of the sixth inning with two runs before Twichell's bomb sealed the win. Silver caught up after trailing 8-1 and 12-7 with two five-run frames in which they batted around. After Silver put up a five-run inning of its own in the third with five straight base runners and two-run singles from Twichell and Jacob Nelson, Silver answered with five tallies off four hits in the bottom of the third. A Rafael Neda first-pitch home run capped the scoring, driving in three runs to cut the Silver edge to 8-6.
With Cherry leading 12-7 entering the bottom of the fifth, Silver exploded for five more runs in much the same fashion, this time using a three-run homer from senior Adam Courcha to tie the game at 12-12.
Looking to secure the sweep, Cherry rallied for two runs in the top of the sixth before the three-run insurance inning in the seventh. The win went to Jason Oatman, who worked 2.2 innings of hitless relief while Zak Miller was saddled the loss surrendering five runs over the final two frames.
"Jason Oatman stepped it up with the relief work and is becoming the aggressive pitcher I want him to be," head coach Ray Birmingham said. "John Twichell is going to be a very special Lobo in the years to come. The underclassmen will be the nucleus that has greatness written all over it for the coming season. I see a lot of potential."
Besides Twichell, Chris Juarez reached base in four out of five of his at-bats, collecting two walks, a single, a double and scoring three runs. Daniel Gonzalez also provided three RBI in the Cherry's offensive barrage. Leading the Silver slugging was Neda with four RBI while Courcha and newcomer Kenny Held racked up three RBI.
Despite Cherry's clinch of the series, two more games are still on deck with game four starting at 2 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 6, at Lobo Field and game five wrapping up the series at 12 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 7.

Ed Reed gets an INT! ;)
I had the Ravens over the Steelers 23 - 20. Slightly higher score than really happened, so I'm using it again (not trying to wear it out) as Ravens 23 - Chargers 20. If we can win in San Diego, then face a Rothlessteelers team in Baltimore, we can be in the cat-bird seat come December... Bc
So let's say our O really kills them. That helps seal Norv's fate -- a guy a lot of us would like to see on the market so we can make him our OC.
But if our O does do well, that helps cement Cam's position . . . Probably gets an extension until 2019. Ugh
If Cam should decide to join Pees upstairs, I'll help pay someone to push him out the window.
Ravens 19-16
Everyone thinks Norv Turner is the solution, but just look at how inconsistent their own offense is. The AC is simply not a good fit in today's league, I've been saying this for a while now. I'd be much happier with a guy like Jason Garret who runs a much more modern and QB friendly scheme if that's the direction the FO wants to be heading.

the side of Old Highway 101 and in the surrounding
neighborhoods. If the street if full, then I recommend
heading inland through the houses and apartments and begin
searching for an open spot.

Highway 101
Beach Accessibility and Conveniences:
The beach access for
Terramar is somewhat hard to find unless you've been there
before. It is located just South of a large tan and brown
house and just North of a large field. It is a small walkway
that leads down to a set of stairs which drop you off right

This beach is somewhat
secluded so there is never many people on the beach or in
the water which is awesome!

Gear Review
Katy Levin
Amazing ski pant
The rose color is amazing, the fit fantastic. I will live in these pants this winter. I wear a size 8 in pants, and the medium is perfect. It has lots of adjustments on the waist. I ordered the matching jacket, and have not gotten it yet, but it looks like the jacket zips onto the powder skirt so no snow or wind can go up the back. Very excited about this brand. I ordered a large jacket, to fit avvi gear under, but am afraid it might be too big...

California Women Instructors (1)
by Stanley Pranin
Aiki News #92 (Summer 1992)
Aikidoka in California have long been fortunate in the number and quality of teachers who work together there in a cooperative and mutually supportive atmosphere. Three of these teachers, Bernice Tom, 5th dan [presently 6th dan], of Sunset Cliffs Aikido, Danielle Molles Evans, 3rd dan [presently 5th dan], of Aikido of Monterey, and Pat Hendricks, 5th dan [presently 6th dan], of Aikido of San Leandro, were together in Japan last November and Aiki News took the opportunity to talk with these three outstanding aikido instructors.
Pat Hendricks, Bernice Tom and Danielle Evans [Molles Smith]
How did each of you come to operate your present dojo?
Tom: I moved to San Diego in 1985, right after I came back from Japan. My present dojo was then operated by Wes Leavens and he invited me to come help him teach. So I would teach once a week on Sunday, while going to acupuncture school at night and working a full-time job. As I was finishing up my acupuncture school, the students asked me to come and teach more because I had more experience in the Iwama-style that Wes was teaching than any of the other teachers there. I came in and taught once in the evening. They kept asking me to come in and do more and more. When Wes Leavens decided to pull out of the dojo financially, it was left in the hands of the students at that time because I could not take it over. Then Satoshi Takamori was invited to come and help teach. Suddenly, I found that I had finished school, and there was Wes, myself, and Satoshi running the dojo. Then Wes pulled out completely because of work and Satoshi left America for visa reasons, so I was left with the dojo. That was in about 1987. Then the dojo underwent a number of changes as it was still in the hands of the students and was a corporation at that time. Finally, in 1989, we started to dissolve the corporation and completed the process in 1990. Now I own the dojo.
Evans: Actually it all started in 1976, when I was your student in Monterey. The day after my shodan exam you announced that you were leaving. The students arranged to buy the mats, and there I was, sempai of the dojo, and even worse, I was a black belt, a big responsibility. So I had Jack Wada come teach once a week, and I'd teach classes once a week just to keep the dojo open. One year later Bill Raike and my husband Dennis Evans took their shodan exams. The students all used to run the dojo together, but I was always the most advanced student there. As soon as somebody would get their shodan, sometimes even when they were only brown belts, they were expected to teach. We were all equals. I always felt like a student even though we had no sensei in the dojo. I had gotten my shodan in two years and eight months of training, and I was really a beginner. Actually, it wasn't until years later when students who had begun after you had left the dojo began to be ready for shodan and nidan, that I experienced a shift that allowed me to choose to take the responsibility as head of the dojo. I still consider myself a student and to many people I am also their teacher.
Hendricks: When I graduated from UC Berkeley, I was lucky enough to get one of the best jobs that I could with a degree in Japanese, which was at the Japanese consulate in the economics section. I had it all. I had a good job in the field, and I had a chance to eventually take the test to be a foreign diplomat. There were a lot of opportunities. All through that time of being at the university and being at that job, I trained full-time in aikido. My teacher at that time, Bruce Klickstein, encouraged me to start a dojo, but I really didn't think I could make a living from running a dojo, so I was a bit hesitant. I was at the consulate for two years, and I looked around one day, and saw the people that I worked with who were diplomats, and I said, "This is not the lifestyle that I want." My first love was always aikido, and I decided then to start slowly and teach at some clubs and some YMCAs and gradually work my way up to a dojo. But it didn't go exactly the way I thought it would. Very soon after I quit my job and started teaching at a YMCA, a building that was run by a taekwondo teacher opened up. He wanted an aikido instructor. I went in, put a mat down, and taught there on a pretty regular basis. Within four or five months I realized that he was just not able to keep the building. He didn't pay any of the bills, and was going to be evicted. Late one night, I sat in the dojo. There were no lights on, and I said, "What am I supposed to do here? Am I supposed to have a full-time dojo?" I didn't think it was even going to be possible. And the answer I got was, you're here for a reason and this is what you're supposed to do. I got some people to help me out at first financially. I had a couple of financial breaks with the landlord. Within a year I was able to more than pay the bills, and I never lost money. That was seven or eight years ago, so somewhere between 1983 and 1984 is when the dojo actually got started.
Being in leadership positions, how do you deal with strength differences on the mat? In other words, you are female teachers, and perhaps you get some muscular young guy who comes in and wants to throw his weight around. I'm sure you've had experiences like that.
Tom: This is interesting because before I had a dojo, this was my biggest concern. What happens if someone comes up to you and challenges you with strength? It's interesting because in the dojo it became really easy for me to say, "Look, just learn the form first and then when you learn the form and you know what you're doing, you can put more power and strength in it. But first you must learn the form in order to be able to study here." Because if they don't know the form and they start challenging with strength, then it's not really aikido. It becomes something else, street-fighting, or whatever. I just don't allow that in my dojo.
What if somebody challenges your position, taking advantage of the fact that you're a woman? Someone who is physically large, or maybe somebody from another art. It can happen to male teachers too, of course, but it seems more likely to happen to a woman. Or maybe it isn't?
Evans: If I've been challenged, or if somebody's tested me, it hasn't been in a direct, confrontational way. I make it clear that I'm not teaching about strength, so it's not something that I feel I create a contest about.
Perhaps it is your attitude and how you explain it which accounts for the fact that you haven't had to deal with that kind of thing.
Evans: While I don't know of any concrete examples I can imagine there have been men who have come into a dojo, who in their own sense of identity need to feel a sense of strength and become threatened [by a woman instructor], but either they've worked it through and they're doing what we do, or they just haven't stayed.
Hendricks: My dojo has a large number of male students and most of them are pretty large in stature and the situation has never come up. I feel that the men really are a little bit in awe of the fact that a smaller person can even do the technique. What they are looking for is a technique that does not use strength. I think that's very popular in martial arts right now. Usually beginner men are very shocked that I've thrown them. I feel completely supported [by my students]. I don't think I've ever been challenged in that way.
I often feel very fortunate to be a woman, because first of all, as I grew up in aikido, my technique had to be good, otherwise they wouldn't have worked, and secondly, because I am female I don't evoke the competitive response that comes up between male student and male teachers.
Casually you would think that women in leadership positions would have a real tough time. Maybe it's more diffcult for men. In my teaching days I was challenged many times.
Tom: I do have really strong males who are senior students and they act as role models for the other students. They don't challenge me at all. They're very supportive of me, so the other students see that. One of the comments that I get in my dojo is that people are really surprised at the respect that is given each other during training and also when other teachers come. They don't even think about challenging on that level. Like Danielle said, if there's no conflict in me about that strength, then it's quite easy for me to do the techniques to them.
What are the main technical influences in your training?
Tom: I've been very fortunate to have two great teachers. One of them is no longer doing aikido, but I feel that Bruce Klickstein gave me a really good foundation in the Iwama-style and introduced me to the best teacher in the world, in my opinion, Morihiro Saito Sensei. With his system I am able to feel very secure in my teaching of techniques. He's given me such an incredible foundation to build from and to help my students build on, that within a couple of months, although they might not know and completely understand it, they can see the system and see that they are going someplace, which is really helpful for the beginner. It makes it easy for them to understand that there is a larger picture for them. It's something to work towards, rather than just fumbling in the dark. That's why I'm here now in Japan, studying with Saito Sensei, to continue my own training and connection with Saito Sensei.
Evans: My technical influences have varied over the years. At one time you were my major technical influence. I'd say that for the last ten years my major focus in training has been with Frank Doran Sensei, Mitsugi Saotome Sensei, and Hiroshi Ikeda Sensei. That's the main group. Frank Doran is my direct teacher. Then I'd have to say that for weapons work my technical influence is the Iwama-style. That started when I first began aikido and Saito Sensei came to California, back in 1974. That keeps on going deeper and deeper. Most recently I've trained with Pat. I find [the weapons system] to be a really good base. It technically influences my taijutsu too.
Hendricks: Of course, you were my first teacher, then Bruce Klickstein, and Saito Sensei. Both yourself and Bruce are students, or were students, of Saito Sensei. So my technical influence has been through the Iwama Dojo. But there's so much more. I feel that the main influence I've gotten is through the weapons. Saito Sensei was lucky enough to do one-on-one training with O-Sensei, and I'm fortunate to have trained in morning weapons classes quite a bit with Saito Sensei. The feeling that comes from the weapons has completely changed my taijutsu and has helped me to understand where a move will go and why it originates here, and what the next logical move would be. The system of weapons that Saito Sensei has created as a result of all his private instruction from O-Sensei is what has helped me understand the rest of the taijutsu.
Tom: When I first came to Japan in 1975 with Bruce to meet Saito Sensei I was just blown away by the heartfelt welcome that he extended to us. But right before I got shodan I remember thinking that if I really wanted to be good in aikido, I wanted to go where it originated. So that's one of the reasons I came back the second time, because I asked myself, "Where did aikido originate?"Well, it originated in Iwama with O-Sensei and then extended to Saito Sensei. So I wanted to go there, I wanted to come back to Iwama and continue my training with Saito Sensei. I remember having made a very clear decision, for technical reasons and technical study.
Were there any female role models early in your aikido career, any women practitioners that you particularly looked up to?
Tom: When I began I was really amazed at the fact that at our dojo in Oakland there were some very strong women. But as I continued to train and went up in rank, they stopped training for various reasons, and after a while, there weren't any more role models. I found myself to be the women's sempai of the dojo. Then when I left Oakland in 1980 and went to Iwama to train and to live, there were hardly any other high-ranking women in the dojo.
Evans: When I first started, I felt that aikido was a wasteland as far as females went. I remember being at the dojo in Monterey, and you were showing a movie from Japan. Some women came on the screen with hakamas on, and one of the guys in the class said, "You mean there are women black belts in Japan?" I remember being so insulted by his being so shocked that there would be women black belts. Actually, you were quite consciously supportive and said, "Yes, there are, and actually there are a few in the United States too." At that time there were very few. Betsy Hill was a shodan. She's the only one I can think of. Then Mary Heiny came back from Shingu and she was a sandan. I was really blown away by her. I was excited to hear about her coming. Linda Hultgren [Holiday] also came back at the same time from Japan as a shodan. So I remember these two women when they came to the dojo early on when I was a 4th kyu. I trained with both of them, and it was the first time-but not the only time-ever on the mat that I thought maybe I was going to die. They kept on throwing me and it was so intense and I got so tired by the experience, but was very inspired. I was very impressed and they were really good role models. Then I asked Mary Heiny to teach a class, since she was going to settle in Santa Cruz. She agreed to come down on Saturdays and then told me that I would teach a review class two times a week in the middle of the week. Pat was in that class. Since then, Pat has been a role model for me. Linda Hultgren and Mary Heiny have continued to be. Then there are other people who have come up since I started training, for example, Jamie Zimmeron. All my women students are role models. They come in with a fresh beginner's mind and I see how they respond to the way that aikido is presented now. I relearn and feel really touched by the experience.
Hendricks: Well, the very first person I ever saw do aikido was Mary Heiny. I always remind her of that. So the very first person I saw doing aikido was a woman. And then Danielle and Linda were there. There were a lot of women around here that I'm very connected to and I feel a real comaraderie with. So they are all role models for me. I do remember coming to Japan and feeling the lack of that. There were none within my system. Actually what I feel is my role model is my own higher female self.
Would you care to elaborate on that concept?
Hendricks: The part of me that I will refer to as my wiser self. This is the authentic female higher consciousness that guides me.
What you're striving for in an idealistic sense?
Hendricks: No, the spirit part. When that manifests, I have no need for a role model. I was looking outside myself for a role model and it took me a long time to realize that it was inside of me. All the women that I'm connected with reflect that, but it comes from me.
Evans: I agree. What I find is that the more I've gotten in touch with my own higher female self, the more reflection I see in other people.
Tom: I can really appreciate what Pat said about looking within, when there isn't someone out there. One tends to look within for the answers or the role models that they want. Also, it's not as if you can't see that in men, and see how they also handle a similar situation. So everybody becomes to me a role model in that sense. Also, I watch Pat and how she handles certain situations. So Pat becomes a role model. And if I see Danielle handle a certain situation, she becomes a role model. Everybody is my role model. And my students, I learn an incredible amount from them. To me then it becomes like the universe teaching me.
Evans: We're doing it right now, we're role modeling.
Bernice, you've already mentioned that you've been to Iwama on a number of occasions, and you have six, seven, eight years worth of time in Japan.
Tom: Certainly visits, but I don't know the time all total. I did live in Japan for a number of years.
I'll modify the question for you, Danielle. This is your first visit to Japan for aikido. This is different from a lot of people who come earlier in their careers. You've been involved now for more than 15 years.
Evans: 18 years.
What are your impressions, then, of the aikido you see in Japan?
Evans: I was really impressed when I went to Iwama. I had seen Saito Sensei's aikido before, so what struck me more, because I had never before had the opportunity of being exposed to it, was his graciousness and warmth in his own dojo. That impression I guess would cover aikido in a larger sense. I was really moved with the genuineness.
Hendricks: I've been here seven times, and I've lived here twice for a long period, a year and a half one time, and over a year the other time. The other five visits have been from anywhere from a month and a half to three months. So for the past 16 years I've spent a number of years here. It's all been at the Iwama Dojo, and it's all been as a private apprentice to Saito Sensei. I never lived outside the dojo, I was uchideshi the whole time. That's basically it.
Evans: I'd like to say one more thing about my impressions. It was my goal to go to Japan years and years ago, but my plans changed when I had a child. I really looked at the quality of our seminars in the United States and the people I trained with and I began to feel that it wasn't something that was necessary. This last year I got back in touch with the draw to go, and felt compelled to come. I've had some just wonderful experiences, not only with Saito Sensei, but meeting Isogai Sensei, who has a shrine to seals. He uses his ki to read a person's seal, much as one would analyze a signature. He is in his 90's and was a personal friend of O-Sensei's. I listened to him talk about O-Sensei for hours. I could feel some internal shifts going on; some places were filling up that I hadn't really realized were quite empty and that had to do with making a direct connection to O-Sensei and the people he dealt with. It will probably be some time before I'll even know or have a sense of the consequences of that, but I know that I feel a difference in having come here.
Hendricks: I'd like to add something, if I may. Every time I come back to Japan and especially to O-Sensei's dojo, I feel this incredible internal connection to the source. Aikido was created in Japan and a lot of it was created in O-Sensei's dojo. Many of the customs that we have in our art and a lot of the feeling that we put into our art, comes from the culture here. Coming here integrates it deeper and deeper every time.

Summerville quilt storyteller and artist Peggie Hartwell came to Windsor Hill Arts Infused Elementary to talk with 2nd and 3rd graders about her art form. During an art infusion lesson with Art Instructors Erica Harper and Elise Stuck, students created a quilt using the South Carolina symbols they studied in their class. Ms. Hartwell shared with each class how to create a voice on cloth. The students were very inquisitive and had lots of questions for Ms. Hartwell. Narrative quilt making is my voice on cloth. It allows me to revisit my childhood and recapture traditions and customs of generations of farmers from whom I descend. These sacred voyages have nurtured and molded my art form. Most importantly, it gives me the opportunity to honor my familys great tradition of oral storytelling through my own visual quilted-expressions, says Ms. Hartwell.

Frankie and Jesse talk about the past; Angie makes a big decision. Derek opens a murder investigation for John Remington. Richie puts a diabolical plan in motion.
Aidan and Kendall both want to forget about the body in the bomb shelter, and the bomb shelter in general. Greenlee and Zach both have questions, though. Derek returns and says they have identified the body! "It's John Remington," Derek says and explains that Remy was a cop. He is the one who was supposed to be shot the day Jesse was killed. The whole town though Remy just left town but now Derek is very curious about what really happened to the ex-cop. He says he is launching a full-scale investigation and then leaves. Zach asks Greenlee to talk to him in private; Kendall and Aidan wonder if things will ever return to normal. Kendall tells Aidan they have to find a way to return to normal around one another. She looks through pictures from the fashion show; Aidan rips up the pictures of him. Kendall brings up the shelter and tells Aidan that she will talk to Zach about the bodyguard deal.
In the lounge, Greenlee asks Zach when things are going to get better. Greenlee pours two drinks and then asks him about Ryan; Zach admits that he has no idea how to deal with Lavery. He tells her about Aidan's new bodyguard duties. Greenlee isn't thrilled with the idea and tells him so. He offers to get someone else but Greenlee backs off and says it will be fine. They return to Kendall and Aidan. Aidan tries to back out of the bodyguard business but Greenlee insists that he go.
Richie gives his goons one more instruction: bring back JR alive. Then he says JR may not stay alive for long after the marrow donation!
JR stops by Babe's for lunch. They talk about the bone marrow donation and JR says he is completely on board. He says it feels good to be able to help someone else. He kisses her and they make love. Babe says this is just a one-time thing but JR doesn't believe her. She turns the conversation back to Richie and the marrow donation, telling JR how much he has changed. JR leaves. A goon follows him. JR arrives at the hospital and the goon calls to let his buddies know JR is on the way up. The upstairs goon knocks JR out and then both of them carry him to a getaway van!
Richie stops by Babe's. She tells him that JR is the donor match! He pretends to be surprised and then really is surprised when she says JR has volunteered to be the donor. "He's on the way to the hospital now," she says! Richie doesn't believe her when she says it was JR's own idea. She says not to worry about it and just get on with his life. He asks if she could be in his future but Babe won't commit to anything. A friend calls so Richie goes outside. "You get to live, you get Babe and JR gets the short end of the stick," he says to himself.
Jesse steps forward to talk with Frankie but Frankie isn't so sure he wants to talk to his father after all this time. Angie asks him to give Jesse a chance and they go inside together. Angie waits with Krystal and Tad outside. Inside, Jesse explains that he never wanted them to know he was alive. Frankie angrily asks why Jesse abandoned them in the first place. Jesse tries to explain that his death was faked and that he was kidnapped but when he can't explain why they wanted him, Frankie doubts Jesse's story. Jesse continues with his explanations and Frankie realizes he is telling the truth. He is still angry, though. "We needed you," he says, "and you weren't there." Frankie demands to know exactly what happened but Jesse won't tell him. Frankie slaps Jesse and then hugs him.
Outside, Angie paces. Tad tells her to calm down and asks how she is reacting to everything. Angie feels like she is in a dream. She thanks both of them for what they have done. Angie tells Tad that Jesse has given a few hints but not the whole story. She believes the men who took Jesse did it because of her! They wait a while longer. Krystal tells Tad how lucky she feels to have him and wonders if things will work out this time for the Hubbard's. All three go inside. Jesse insists that they let him go but Tad and the others stand firm and tell him they won't let him go alone. Jesse angrily says he won't let them be hurt because of him. "Don't you dare tell me what I need," Angie says when Jesse insists on leaving them again. He starts to walk out but Angie grabs him, forcing him to listen to her this time around. Frankie, Tad and Krystal all say he deserves a second chance and should let them help. Crying, Jesse says he doesn't want to take chances with her life or with Frankie's. "Okay," he whispers and then pulls Angie and Frankie into his arms.
Somewhere, a security guard and another man are looking through surveillance tape from Pine Valley Hospital. "Jesse Hubbard is alive," another man says, "We finally have him where we want him."
Next on All My Children:
Angie tells Jesse about dating Remy.
Greenlee and Zach become closer.
Kendall worries about Greens and Ryan.
