Fan of EJ+ABBY!
What is it with this spine talk? Who cares?
.. I want Brady to love Kristen. I actually liked the two (mainly because I love Kristen and they look good together).
I would love for Brady to regret his doubts.. and to see pass her faults. Sure, Kristen is no angel.. but thats not because without cause. Stefano had something to do with it .. but also the family Brady throughout the years.

|I really dont Understand Why they wrote the story of covering Up the Nick thing.. He Has a History of Stalking, and Murder.. It would have been easy to prove he Manipulated the whole NY move without telling Gabi. I think Gabi had a solid self defense claim.. I Mean , she could have even scratched him hard to show defensive evidence... I just Hate that they take this path, Especially since it causes Un-needed silly Drama.. I dunno, I just hate these ridiculous plot points.. Now Sami, and Kate are accessories.. Not a fan of this storyline

Loved Caroline.

Segment 1: Repeat of Gabi begging Nick to stop and then hitting him with the rock. Kate walks up to see Gabi standing over Nick holding the bloody rock. OMG Gabi. What have you done!
Vic walks to the front door saying 'Maggie you didn't have to ...' He opens the door to Caroline. You S.O.B. How could you!
Nicole is drinking champagne with Jerry at the club. Nicole - I love the bubbly and the attention but why are we meeting tonight. I don't start work until tomorrow. Jerry - This couldn't wait. It's about your priest.
Eric is in the square taking pictures of the flower stand. Marlena walks up. I haven't seen you take pictures for a very long time. Eric - I'm sorry Mom. I can't talk right now. Marlena - You need to, I have news. Eric - I'm sorry, I can't. He starts to leave. Marlena - It's about Kristen.
EJ opens the door and Brady attacks him and throws him up against the wall. Tell me where your sister is.
Kate looks down at Nick. Gabi cries. He was on me and he was so angry. He tried to ... She drops the rock. He had this crazy look in his eyes. He wouldn't stop. Kate goes to her. It's going to be okay. It will be alright. Sami calls out. Kate, I got your text. Did you find Gabi and Nick? Sami sees 'dead' Nick. I guess you did.
Nicole - Okay, talk about a buzz kill. Jerry - Only because you're looking at it the wrong way. You're going back to work and you're handed this huge story on a platter. Everybody's talking about this priest with the huge secret ... come on, frankly, this video needs to go public. Nicole - Not if there's a God. Jerry - Can you spell going viral. Nicole - I still don't see how this has been handed to me on a platter. Jerry - Oh come on! You worked with the guy, right? The two of you are friends, aren't you? It's a simple question. Nicole - Not really.
Marlena - I spoke to your father. He's calling in favours trying to get a warrant. He wants to get a look at Kristen's papers and personal belongings. Eric - So he's not afraid of what he might find. Marlena - Your father is fighting for you very hard but this is a very challenging situation. Eric - By challenging you mean there's no evidence to back up my accusation. Marlena - Your father and Hope are talking to everybody; to the Bishop, to Father Matt so they can confirm your story. And your father thinks he'll have a warrant to search the mansion as early as tomorrow morning. Eric - Giving EJ more than enough time to destroy anything that implicates Kristen.
Brady - Tell me where she is. EJ gasps - Illegal entry and assault. Brady yells - Tell me where she is. EJ - Get out. Brady - Tell me where she is or I'm going to end you right now.
Sami - Why do I have a sick feeling of deja vu. Kate - Tell me about it. Gabi - He was ... I didn't want to hurt him. I just wanted to stop him. Sami checks for a pulse. What you did was kill him. Gabi - OMG. No! What am I going to do! Sami - I'd say 20 to life.
Segment 2: Gabi - No, no, no. HE came at me. HE attacked me. Sami - Why would he attack you? You do whatever he wants. Kate - Okay Sami ... Sami - Well she can tell her story to the judge. You can lie to the judge just the same way you lie to Will, you lie to me, you lie to everyone. Kate - Okay, look. You don't know what's going on but trust me you can't call the cops. Sami - You're right. I don't have any reception. I'm going to town. I'll call from there. Kate grabs her. Damn it Sami! You're not going anywhere.
Brady finally releases his chokehold on EJ who gasps for air. EJ - You know Dudley Do-Right there is nothing that I would like more than to knock some sense through that thick skull of yours and watch you get carted away by the police. Now that you've taken your hand off my throat, my sister is not here to defend you. Go ahead, take your best shot. Brady - You knew. EJ laughs. Brady - You knew what Kristen did for months and you didn't say anything. EJ - I did not know for months. Not that I would have cared if I had. What happens between two consulting adults in the privacy of a hotel room is none of my business. Brady - Shut up. You know damn well that Eric did not consent to anything that happened on that video. EJ - Well that's what Eric says. Only he knows ... well he and his precious God I suppose. Brady - No, Kristen knows and you know and you're lying to me right now. EJ - You can save your breath. I don't want to hear another lecture about how morally bankrupt I am or how you can't understand how Samantha can bare to live in a house with me considering how vile I am. Brady - This is Stefano's roof. This is not about Sami, this is about Kristen, your psychopath sister who makes other psychopaths look morally upright in comparison. That's what your sister is and she gets away with everything. But not this time. This time she is going down!
Marlena - Sami says that EJ is doing everything he can ... Eric - I talked to Sami. You don't have to tell me what she said. Marlena - I guess you don't need me for anything. Eric - Mom, I just want to be alone. I don't trust myself about almost anything. I just want to take pictures. For one, I might have to get back into this line of work and two, because I know I can't hurt anybody taking pictures. Marlena - You think by talking to me you hurt somebody? Eric, by not talking to me you hurt me incredibly. Eric - You know the clich� keep it together; I'm just trying to keep it together. Marlena - Your father is going to make it very clear what Kristen did and you will still be a priest. Eric - Yeah well even if she was confronted and she confessed it would still take a long time before I'm reinstated. Marlena - You mean until things get back to the way they were. Eric - No, things are never going to be like they were before.
Vic - Would you like a drink while you're telling me off? Caroline - Don't be glib, not now! And would you look me in the eye, damn it! Vic does as she asks. Caroline - You're always going on about your family. Let me tell you something about someone in my family, Eric. Eric, who helped the poorest, the most miserable people on earth. Not only helped them, he loved them and he shared his joy with them. But you killed that joy purposely. What makes you think it's okay to destroy someone I love!
Nicole - My relationship with Eric was not personal. We worked together, that's all. Jerry - So let me get this straight. You worked long hours for no money to hone your secretarial skills? Nicole - I needed a job. Jerry - And now you have your dream job! And no matter what you say about your reputation and your relationship with this man, you know him! You know him through and through and you know everybody else that's involved with this story. This could launch your comeback, don't you see that! Not everybody gets handed a story like this everyday. You could bury the competition, call your own shots, name your own figure. Nicole - Let me make something very clear. Nothing is going to make me do a hatchet job on Eric Brady.
Kate - Sami, look, you don't know what you're doing. Gabi cries - Sami, please ... Sami - I know Will can bring the baby to visit you in prison. It's a lot closer than New York. Kate - Here we go. Sami - You can put on a fashion show for Cell Block Nine. Kate snaps - Stop! Just stop and listen because you don't know what you're talking about. I found Gabi and Nick at Horton Square and they were fighting and believe me, it was ugly! Sami - Oh really, as ugly as this guy here with his head bashed in. Gabi cries - No. Kate - Sami! There were witnesses okay and now he's dead. If those witnesses tell the police they're not going to believe that it was self-defence. Sami scoffs - Oh you think! Someone might finally not believe Gabi. That's a shocker. Kate - It was self-defence and she could end up going to prison. Sami - Then she will finally ... FINALLY ... pay for something she has done. Kate - Sami! She was telling Nick that she didn't want to go to New York okay. That's why they were fighting. Sami - That's not true. She made it very clear to Will that she was taking that baby and going to New York. Gabi - No! No! Sami - Of course you left out the fun fact that you were going with Nick the ? Fallon. Kate - Oh nice, rest in peace. Sami - He's a creep and she was going to let him near Arianna. To hell with Will. To hell the fact that he's the father. Kate - No, that's not true because after you had already talked to her she realised it was wrong to take the baby to New York. You got through to her okay. Sami - I don't think anyone can get through to her. Kate - That's why he attacked her. Because she told him that she wanted to stay in Salem, that she wasn't going to go to New York with him. That's what happened here. Gabi goes over to Nick and kneels down beside him. OMG, no. She cries.
Segment 3: Jerry - I really don't want you to do a hatchet job, okay. I used to be an altar boy for crying out loud. Seriously, I don't want you to trash Fr. Eric. I don't, really. Nicole - You're working me, I know it. Jerry - Everyone's piling on the padre. They're all talking about the priest sex angle, the falling from grace, blah, blah, blah. And that's just picking from the low hanging fruit. If you could get an exclusive with this guy; if you can get him to sit down and open up and tell his side of the story; think about how much good this would do for him. Not to mention it is one hell of a story for you.
Vic - The woman had to be stopped. Eric was collateral damage. Caroline - Oh, I could slap you for that! Vic - For God's sake woman, think of what you have done for your family. Eric was just a one night stand. Brady was going to marry her. Caroline - It was not a one night stand. Vic - Well I didn't know that. And I didn't set anything up either. That video just dropped in my lap at the last minute when I had no other options. Caroline - She drugged him. Vic - I know you need to believe that but you have no proof. Caroline - Eric said it happened and Eric doesn't lie. Vic - Men have been lying about sex since the Garden of Eden. Caroline - You want to think the worst of Eric so you can excuse the worst in yourself; you're cruelty. Well there's no excuse for what you did. NONE!
EJ - If I had any incriminating evidence on Kristen or any knowledge of her whereabouts I would tend to share it with you just so I could spare myself another morally outraged Brady aria but I don't and if I did I wouldn't be here talking to you I would be with her, comforting her. Brady - Lying bitches don't need comfort. EJ - She's my sister and I care about her exactly the same way you care about ... Brady - You don't care about her. You care about you. You care about EJ; what's best for EJ. You always have. EJ - Okay, think that through. I want to be with Samantha. She would never stay with me if she found out I knew where Kristen was and I withheld that information. Brady - Unless you're lying to her which you've been doing since you laid eyes on her. EJ - Well that would be very bad of me, wouldn't it? Brady - I know there's more than what you're telling me. When I find out that truth EJ you will answer to me.
Sami - I don't know Kate. She kills Nick. She's got the murder weapon at her feet; of course she's going to say it was self-defence. Kate - Oh really, because that's all there is to the story, right. Everything is always exactly what it seems to be. Sami - This is nothing like what happened to me. Kate - Oh yeah except that it is. It's exactly what happened with you and Bernardi. There's more here than meets the eye, believe me! I heard her tell Nick that she changed her mind about going to New York. You made her change her mind. It sunk into her because it's more important to her to be a mother than a model Sami. Sami - You heard it yourself. Kate - You should have seen the look on her face when he let it slip out that he had lined up that whole modelling job for her. She had no idea he was planning to go to New York. Sami - She didn't know that? Kate - No, big surprise right, that our dear, sweet, sweet innocent Nick was manipulating her because he believed that she was still in love with him. He believed it just the same way he believed that Melanie was still in love with him. So loudly and publicly, she told him that wasn't the case. She told him she thought he was totally out of his mind. Trust me, he did not like being humiliated in public. Sami - So she finally murders him. Gabi - No. No. He had his hands on me. He was ... he was ... he was ... she cries. Kate - Are you going to let Arianna's mother go to prison for that! Sami recalls Nick telling her that the best thing that could happen would be for Will and his whole family to be shut out of this baby's life. And Nick telling her that there's no way he's going to let a bitch like her ever hurt Gabi or the baby again. She recalls more arguing, Nick attacking her in the park to get his money back. Sami - Well I guess that S.O.B. finally got what he deserved. Okay ladies, what's the plan?
Segment 4: Kate - See, Sami's come around. Everything's going to be okay. Gabi - How is everything going to be okay. I just killed somebody. Kate - No, you did not kill someone, you protected yourself. And now you're going to have to pull yourself together because we have a lot to do. I know no one saw me follow her here, how about you? Sami - I think I'm good. What are we going to do with ... Kate - Ssh, ssh. Kate - The river is really close by. Gabi - OMG. Sami - Well lucky for us he's skinny. She hands her purse over. Okay, you hold that. Kate - Gabi, get the rock and put it in his backpack. Go on, do it. Sami and Kate start dragging the body ... Sami stops - I chipped my nail. Gabi watches as they haul the body away.
Nicole - So you're saying that we'll be giving Eric a chance to tell his side of the story. Jerry - He can defend his reputation to a lot of people who are hell bent on destroying it at this point. What do you say? Can you get in touch with him for me? Nicole - I'll think about it. Jerry - Well you better think about this. You could be his only hope. Nicole - Whatever. Like you said, if I did do this, it would be good for my career.
Marlena - It's fine to look at things through a lens; it's not fine to run away. There are so many people who love ... Eric - I just want to be alone. I'm just struggling to understand why God let this happen to me. I just want to understand what God's will was in all of this. And what kills me the most is that I might not ever find it. Marlena - Everybody gets tested. You're going to be fine. Eric - Taking pictures is interesting, nice. My life was being a priest. They take that away from me and I don't even know what I'm going to do. Marlena - You're not being punished for this. You did nothing wrong. Eric - I did some things wrong. It may not be what's getting the most attention but I need to examine my own conscience. Marlena - Eric, you seem so lost. Eric - I'm sorry but I can't talk about this anymore.
Brady - I should have known better than to come here for answers. EJ - When have you ever known better? Brady - I just hope that when Sami finds out what you really are it's not as painful as it was finding out about your sister. EJ - She's not as fragile as you. Brady - You're a jerk. EJ - There is one thing that I can share with you. It may help you understand my sister's methods and her motives. Who knows, maybe it will help you find her. Brady - I'm not interested in hearing more excuses for what your sister did to my brother. EJ - This has nothing to do with Eric. It's too do with you. How my sister felt about you.
Kate and Sami are dragging the body and complaining about the fact that they're not wearing the right kind of shoes for this. Gabi rushes up. I think I heard something. Sami and Kate hide the body and rush to Gabi's side. A gentleman comes along. Greetings. I hope I'm not hallucinating. It's not every night that I come across three lovely ladies in the woods. What are you doing? Kate - Funny you should ask.
Segment 5: Kate - So, our friend here wants to know what we are doing? Sami - Well, we could ask him the same question, couldn't we? Kate - See my friend here thinks we could ask you the same question but I don't know, maybe you wouldn't want to answer that question; a distinguished gentleman like you alone, afoot in the forest. Maybe you're up to no good. Sami - Yeah, like we're up to no good too. Man - I'm harmless as I'm sure you are. In fact the only thing dangerous in these wood is Megascops ingens. I spotted one earlier, a female. Sami - And you lived to tell of it. Guy - The Megascops ingens is the English screech owl. You ladies have nothing to fear. They only prey on small rodents. Sami - That's funny, I know where she can find one. Guy - I wish I had spotted a male. Kate - Story of my life. You know I think I did spot one a mile that way. Guy - No point, it's too dark now. It's impossible to find your way ... in fact, would you do me the honour of letting me escort you back to the safety of Horton Town Square. Sami - You know what, thank you but we actually ... Guy - Let me clear, I won't take no for an answer. Let me help you with the bag and we shall be back in civilization in no time.
Vic - I couldn't let Brady marry that woman. I had to expose her and then face the consequences. Caroline - It's my grandson who's facing the consequences. He's paying for what you did. Vic - Now, but that will pass. The way that you're looking at me; I know that I've lost something that I really treasure and I think I've lost it forever. Caroline - That may be true. I don't see how Maggie can bear to live with you. Silence. Has she left you? Aww ... good. Maybe something good has come out of all of this.
Brady - I'm not going to stand here and listen to anymore of your spin. He changes his mind. What? EJ - I think you know what I'm going to say. Kristen loved you. She loved you more than she loved her own family. She chose you over revenge against John and Marlena. That revenge was at the very core of her being and she chose you over that. Brady - Your sister drugged and literally raped my brother. I don't think she did that out of love for me. EJ snaps - She loved you a hell of a lot more than you loved her. And if you'd trusted her; if you'd listened to her explanations after the first aborted wedding I am damn sure that whatever happened between Eric and Kristen would never have happened. So you think about that. Get out of my house.
Nicole calls out Eric's name before he enters the pub. Eric - What are you doing here? Nicole - I came to see you.
Sami goes to him. Sir, what a kind gentleman you are but actually my friends and I are staying out here until it gets dark because we are looking for ? ?. It's completely nocturnal and we are bound and determined to see one. Guy - A what? Sami - A ... oh you're just teasing me. I'm sure you've seen many in your day. Guy - Well ... not many. Kate - I hate to be rude, I really do, but I'm sure you'll understand that we really need to keep it as quiet as possible. Guy - Of course, of course. I shall bid you adieu and best of British luck to you. Sami - We're going to need it. He leaves. Kate - What the hell was that about? Sami - The species ? is a duck-billed dinosaur that Johnny is in love with. Kate - What if he knew what is was! Sami - Well he didn't and I didn't see you coming up with anything better. Kate - I would have if you hadn't ... Gabi - Would you stop! Kate - Honey, I'm sorry. Don't even think about it. We always do it because we don't like each other. Sami - But we like you okay and we love your baby and we're going to make this right. Gabi - OMG! Sami and Kate rush up to her. Sami - OMG, what. Oh, he's gone.
Segment 6: Sami - I guess he's not as dead as I thought he was. Kate - Okay ladies, this is not the same bush. Kate walks around ... Ah ... here he is, right where we left him. Sami - Thank God. Gabi - What. Now we're happy he's dead. No I can't deal with this, I can't. Sami - You know what, you have to. You have to deal with this for Arianna. Do you want to be there when she wakes up tomorrow or do you want to be in prison? Gabi - Can we just get this over with. Sami hands both her bag and Kate's to Gabi. They get back to dragging the body as Gabi follows behind.
Brady comes walking into the living room cursing. He stops. I didn't see you there. Vic - So who's the S.O.B. Brady - EJ. I tried to get him to tell me where Kristen is. A bunch of lies flew out of his mouth. Vic - I could have told you talking to EJ would have been a waste of time. It's been a fun night for everyone. Vic heads upstairs. Brady stares at the glass of booze Vic left behind.
Eric and Nicole sit down in a booth. Eric - I'm so happy to see you. Nicole - I want to talk to you. Eric - Anything, just call the shots. I'm listening. Nicole - I think you should get a chance to tell your side of the story. Eric - I think my side of the story is pretty straightforward. I screwed up and I'm really sorry about it. Nicole - I'm not talking about us. I'm talking about what happened to you and all the trouble you're in. Eric - I'm sorry, I guess I don't understand. Nicole - Give me a second. She pulls out a recorder. I think you should start from the beginning. I think you should start from what happened between you and Kristen DiMera.
Segment 7: Gabi - What if they find the body? Kate - The current here is very strong and very dangerous especially this time of year. People who go in rarely come out. Sami - Fun facts from the former Mrs. DiMera. Kate - Body disposal is a constant concern. Gabi - Could you please stop acting like that. Kate - Sorry. It's just our way of dealing with things. I guess we forgot what it means to be sweet and innocent. Gabi - I am not innocent. Look at what I did! Kate goes to her. Gabi, you defended yourself against a person who is sick and dangerous. I for one don't mourn a man who treated women the way Nick did. Look. You need to get yourself together because we're almost done with this. Okay, almost done with it. Sami and Kate start going through Nick's pockets. Gabi - What are you doing? Kate - Just trying to cover our bases. Kate holds up something - Do you know what this is? Gabi shakes her head no. Kate puts it in her pocket - It may turn out to be useful. Gabi - I can't watch this. Kate finds something else and puts it in her pocket. You need to trust me Sami. Sami - I don't have a choice, do I? Kate - No, you don't. Like I said let's get this done. They try and lift him. Sami - Come on Gabi. You've got to cover our tracks.
Eric turns off the recorder. So this was just a setup. Nicole - No. Eric - I thought it was stupid, actually impossible that you wanted to talk to me but you just wanted to use me as a story. Nicole - Listen, this could be good for both of us. Eric - For one of us. I'm nothing but a story to you now. Nicole - What the hell did you expect?
Brady gets a call. You looking for Kristen DiMera? I know where you can find her.
EJ picks up a picture of Kristen. What a fine mess you got me into. He looks at Stefano's portrait. I know, I know, I know, she's family.
Kate - A little bit further. They are now at the river's edge. Kate - Gabi, get that rock and throw it in the river. Gabi - I don't know if ... Kate snaps - Just do it. Gabi throws it into the rive. Kate - Great, our turn. Gabi - Wait. What about his family? What about Maggie? We can't do this. This is not right. Sami - Okay, you will go to prison for what you did. We will go to prison for helping you move the body. He didn't care about you. He didn't care about the baby. He didn't care about his family. He doesn't care about Maggie Horton. You need to concentrate on Arianna. You think about that baby. She needs you and she needs you to be tough right now. You can cry tomorrow. Gabi - You're right. Sami - Now Gabi, you are going to have to suck it up because you're going to have to help us put that body in the river. Okay? Gabi - Okay. The three of them finally get him to the edge of the bank and push him in. Nick grabs on for dear life (or he's trying to pull them in as well) and they all start screaming.

I'm hoping the Ericole stuff continues today, and I think it does....so hopefully yesterday was only the start of their 'talk'....

I would give Henderson a pass since he was probably at his job in the Kiriakis mansion. :P
|Nov 27 2013, 11:07 AM Post #371
EJ was completely out of line. Blaming Brady for "not loving Kristen enough" was pathetic. He practically dropped his family for her, and it's not his fault that Kristen keeps making piss-poor choices and does reckless things. That's on Kristen.

I think there could be an accessory to murder after the fact charge?
|Nov 27 2013, 12:07 PM Post #373
It's not like Kristin eats crackers in bed,a workaholic,shopaholic,or had a one night stand with someone.She drugged a priest who happened to be Brady's stepbrother and had sex with him against his will.I really cannot see Brady forgiving this.
I must admit the leather jacket looked good on Brady and I liked Nick's leather jacket.There must have been a wholesale leather deal for the show but I must say all of the leather looks good on the characters The only issue I have is with Sami thirty something high powered executive lady of the manner with the leather pants.The leather pants should have been worn by one of the twenty something women.

Ok. I just saw the clips of Sami/Kate/Gabi/Nik. SOOOOO AWESOME!!! I was laughing my head off. The writing and acting was gold!!!! These women make an awesome comedic trio. LOVED LOVED LOVED how Kate/Sami played off one another. More please. And that surprise ending with Nik made me jump out of my skin and then roar with laughter.
KUDOS!!! I didn't think they could top the Kristen/Eric sex tape reveal (revealed twice! LOL!) But TPTB did it. They really did it. Great job!!

Maybe he was projecting.
|Nov 27 2013, 05:53 PM Post #377
Not if they had gone to the police rather than shoving his body in the river.
All the police would have asked is why did they move his body from one location to the other.
If they were that worried about it they could have moved his body back to the original location.

|Who wrote and directed today? I think this is one of the 2 episodes TPTB should submit for the best show emmy nomination. Freaking hilarious!!!!! The one liners were gold. And I loved the visual jokes as well. Like misplacing the body. And all the reaction shots of the ladies. Sooooo funny!!!!

Dr. Leon James
University of Hawaii
(c) 1974
There are two widespread views in the academic literature about the teaching-learning process. We shall refer to these as the communication hypothesis and the natural growth hypothesis.
The argument for the communication hypothesis can be developed as follows. At the outset, a distinction is created between internal to the individual and external to the individual. The external which has been separated from the individual, is now relinked to it by a channel. This channel is a mechanism that allows the transmission of messages. Messages are formal representations of the external. Representations that are free of error are true to fact, valid, real. This set of assumptive statements in the communication hypothesis is then used to account for such processes as learning an socialization. For instance, culture is defined as a large set of messages that exists outside the individual. The process of socialization is interpreted as involving the transmission of this set of messages to new human beings through the channels of communication. One special subset of messages is classed under the rubric of education. Society entrusts the transmission of this subset to institutions called "educational," sucha s the school. The school employs people who have been duly designated as teachers. What teachers do in the school is called teaching. Thus, according to the communication hypothesis, teaching is the transmission of messages from the teacher to the pupil via the instructional language. These messages are formally reposited in the curriculum.
Students are individual, usually young, who have been designeated by society as educationally ignorant, sometimes referred to as uneducated in the case of older idividuals, and who therefore spend a number of years inschools learning the curriculum.
It is common practice in schools to employ a number of different methods to accomplish the transmission work. The effectiveness of a method is commonly viewed as a measure reflecting the number of messages successfully transmitted. Successful transmission is tested by feedback, viz. the number of sent messages the student is able to send right back. Tests are held at various times, and when a predefined number in a predefined set is received back from the student, he is immediately graduated from school and designated "henceforth educated".
One more thing. From time to time changes are made tot he curriculum which has the consequence that when henceforth educated people meet one another it often happens that their curriculum has very little overlap. In those situations they can be seen to engage each other in conflict.
That, then, is the argument for the communication hypothesis of the teaching-learning process. Presently, we find the communication hypothesis a funny argument, though we say this with respect and humility for its believers, having been outselves proponents of it in our teachings for years, and remembering the sacred infallibility with which the hypothesis mesmerized us. Perhaps, too, it may be that the communication hypothesis is wrong only in the sense that Newtonian Physics is considered wrong by today's relativists, which is to say that it is right for a restricted set of conditions, but wrong for the subsequent reality they have uncovered.
The historical origins of the natural growth hypothesis reflect its philosophy and content. It was used throughout recorded history of soceity as the chief instructional strategy for training monks, priests, sorcerers, athletes, soldiers, performers, and political and religious leaders. Though this method of teaching lost visibility with the advent of mass educational institutions, it retained a pivotal role in the teaching activities of society and is still prospering throughout many small layers of the social heirarchy, though on the North American continent it is excluded fromschool age people.
The natural growth hypothesis is essentially a biological theory. It is empirical and objective, rather than inferential and speculative. It takes the experiential here and now as the locus of the teaching focus, rather than the external and fixed curriculum. There is no predefined curriculum to be transmitted. There is no premise to graduate at a particular location. Each learner is handled separetely and personally. There are no dropouts or failures. Success is defined as the point of quitting the apprenticeship. There are however individual variations in quality of performance. Quality of performance is defined by the elaborate opinions of other performers. A mutual judging society.
To the tru believers of the communication hypothesis, which is to say to those to whom it is the model for all learning and teaching, the natural growth hypothesis makes no sense. How can one have the notion of quality of performance as a result of a teaching learning transation without having a curriculum? The paradox is insurmountable.
To the objective observer, however, the conceptual paradox does not present itself. What does he see? He sees an apprentice's performance improve over time. He sees the conditions of that improvement as the presence of the apprentice in the enviroment of the teacher. He sees that, as a rule, when the apprentice quits the relationship his performance is not as good as that of the teacher, but that with practice he approaches in quality his teachers' performance and sometimes surpasses it. All of this is clear, simple, experientially valid and direct. Pretty soon, he is either in a fantasy world discussing communication and reinforcement theory or, in the midst of jolting paradoxes whereby the concepts deny the senses.
Experiential and Cognitive Learning
The distinction we have drawn between the communication hypothesis and the natural growth hypothesis recalls a comparable distinction more familiarly discussed in the literature as cognitive versus experiential learning.
The content of cognitive knowledge is specified in terms of messages or verbal statements, spoken and written. The content of experiential knowledge is specified in terms of performances, physical or transactional. For example, cognitive knowledge about the structure of language is specified in terms of statements and formulas produced by linguists. Experiential knowledge about the structure of language is specified in terms of the successful performance in the production of sentences and discourse material. For the amateur, cognitive and experiential skills occur independently. For the professional, the may cooccur as when an ex football player becomes a coach, or when a language teacher teaches facts about a language to others.
Two Approaches to Foreign Language Teaching
We begin by considering various possible intentions for setting up a foreign language curriculum in the school. One may be motivated by the intention to expose students to the study of a second language and culture. A second motivation may be the intention to teach students a set of facts about a language, like what is a sentence in that language, what kind of patterns sentences have, what meanings a dictionary would list for some of its words, etc., as well as a set of fats about the language users, like what they eat for breakfast, or what they say when they greet one another, and so on. A third intention in setting up a foreign language curriculum is to train students to perform as co participants in transactional interactions with speakers of that second language. This third intention coincides grosso modo with what foreign language educators have discussed under the rubric of the ability to use the language, free or liberated expression, advanced foreign language training, and so one.
The instrumental motivation of studying a foreign language because it is a necessary part of the curriculum was created by the curriculum makers, in the first place, but in addition one can appreciate the fact that there is a vicious circularity to it whereby the content of the foreign language curriculum has been allowed to change in response to this motivation. Thus, the universal audiolingualization of the curriculum in the school over the past twenty years has gradually been specialized in the service of this purely educational motivation. Nowadays, given the wide use of standardized discrete point paper and pencil achievement tests, the foreign language class has been very efficiently geared to maximizing the number of students who can graduate with a foreign language study background that enables them to pass these standardized tests.
New Options Now
We now turn to a discussion of the instructional possibilities open to a well entrenched foreign language educational establishment. An issue that has been on people's mind for a number of years relates to the possible diversification of the foreign language curriculum. One aspect of this problem has to do with student options concerning the choice of the language to be studied, when to start, and for how many years. Clearly it is the case that these sorts of opitons have been and continue to be rapidly expanding. Another aspect has to do with choice of method to be used, and this has had a long and turbulent history, as we're all aware, sometimes painfully so. A third aspect tot he diversification issue relates to the specification of a package of behavioral objectives, and it is here that we wish to linger for a while in our discussion.
In the United States, the entire public educational establishement is gearing itself towards this conception, long in the making. Like standardized testing, accountability through behavioral objectives is an inevitable step in the historical evolution of the practice of mass education. It seems important, therefore, to examine the kinds of problems that this development is raising for the foreign language teacher.
We see two sorts of problems involved. The first is the choice of meaningful behavioral objectives for the foreign language course. The second is their effective instruction. Let us look at both of these.
First, the choice of meaningful behavioral objectives. No doubt it can be appreciated that this problem is another version of one raised earlier in connection with the diversification of the foreign language curriculum. If the goal is defined in terms of a predefined level of achievement on a standardized discrete point test, the problem of selecting behavioral objectives becomes a routine problem of transforming the items or subtests of standard language tests into smaller steps defined in operational terms relative to them. But, now, if the goal is defined in terms of transactional performances, then it is clear the choice of appropriate behavioral objectives will depend on a suitable operational taxonomy of transactional performances.
Where does the teacher find such a taxonomic table? The answer is quite simple: he makes one up. Does this answer startle you? How does he make one up? Let's talk about that.
One thing is quite clear. Both the teacher and the pupil are expert transactional performers long before they walk into the language class on the first day. But now the problem becomes the transference of transactional skill displayed with participants in one's first language to a new context, that of the second language. Now it makes a big diffeence whether the language teacher coeives of his objectives in terms of the teaching of facts about a second language as opposed to the teaching of transactional displays in the context of a second language. It is like the differenece between teaching facts about driving in a classroom and teaching driving performances in traffic. The way you would measure achievement in the two cases will be quite different. If you teach facts about driving, a discrete point paper and pencil test at the end of the ocurse may be an adequate basis for specifying behavioral objeftives. But, if you teach driving performances, you would need a field test in which you observe the student's quality of performance in various traffic conditions.
Simple as this distinction may sound in the case of a driving ocurse, it has been greatly neglected and unrealized in the case of a foreign language course. One of the reasons has been undoubtedly the failure of language test makers to prepare tests of transactional performances, and until they catch on to this, the language teacher will labor under the oppression of present day discrete point achievement tests that measure the student's knowledge of fats about the language.
We shall discuss this problem more fully in a moment, but now let us mention the second problem that confronts the language teacher after the selection of meaningful behavioral objectives: how to teach them effectively. It will be appreciated that a solution to this problem must be considered jointly with the nature of the behavioral objectives selected. Let us look at an example.
Testing for Transactional Competence
Suppose that you have decided to draw up a graded series of
exercises for the purpose of teaching a section of a foreign language course dealing with
the use of conversation for transactional performances. Your first step might be to
draw up a taxonomic table of commonly occurring transactions. You might come up with
something like this:
1. Exchanging greetings
2. Making an apology
3. Expressing thanks
4. Taking leave
These are your four major instructional units. Each of these will now be subdivided into subunits, possibly as follows:
1. Exchanging greetings
1.a displaying visual acknowledgement
b approaching
c extending hands
d saying "Bonjour"
e smiling
f squeezing hand firmly
g releasing handshake
You notice that the style of this example is given in terms
analogous to the stage directions one might give to a beginner actor.
To continue wwith subunit 2. Making an apology:
2. a while shaking hands, bending forward and gently
bumping coprticipants head
b immediately assuming concerned face look
c raising arms up in a gesture of alarm and holding for two seconds
d saying "Oh, je suis desole!" with a sorrowful or constrained or concerned or dejected or casual or hysterical, etc., intonation
e waiitng solicitously, etc.. for the co participants next response
Note that the format of this program unit leaves personality style pretty much up tot he pupil-performer. One can express an apology in many different individual ways, with many different overtones and undertones. If the teacher wishes to program seperately for these various sorts of eventualities, she amy write a subroutine for a subunit. For instance, some alternatives to submit 2b.
(i) immediately assuming I've just made
a heel of myself look
(ii) maintaining poker face
(iii) slowly and deliberately glaring at co participant for two seconds
Needless to say, the stage instructions and directions will be given in the second language only. One of us has attempted this instructional technique on the first lesson of the first day to level 1 students in French with amazing success. You can imagine that this type of language class looks and feels more like rehearsing for a staged production than a course in French 100. The teacher must be a director and a performer, continually enacting the content of his verbalized instructions in French, most of which is of course incomprehensible to the beginner pupil. The latter will understand the target performance not so much from the teachers' verbalizations in French, but because he will come to recognize what the performance stands for. So, while the pupils are busy having fun making transactional fun, the teacher bombards them with a perpetual steram of relevant verbalizations in the target language which the pupils soon begin to mimick.
4B. Postponing Taking Leave
4.B.(a) watching out for the proper beginning of the strategy
4.B.(a) i. noticing when other participant makes an announcement to propose closing the conversation
4.B.(b)immediately finding a pretext for inserting into the conversation one last topic before the end
4.B.(b)i. using a transactiona idiom to preface the delaying statement
4.B.(c)waiting till new topic is exhausted and other participant renews his proposal to close the conversation, then, repeating step 4.B.
Techniques of this kind can be used quite readily in large classes, even up to 60 to 80 pupils per teacher. At first, the teacher goes around the classroom enacting several different versions of the transactional performance under study, whilke the other pupils look on. Then the class is broken up into groups of two or three pupils, each subgroup going through several enactments. It is advisable to practice subgrouping and unsubgrouping as in a fire drill so as to minimize the waste of time and general noise.
Now, what about the French? What will their French sound like to your supervisor? If he takes a reasonable position, he will come to your class and listen to the fluent prattle of your students after a mere semester's work and, in all justice, promise you a raise for distinguised accomplishment. If he takes an unreasonable position, he will hand you 60 copies of the French Cooperative Test, one version or another, and ask you to prove that you have not been wasting school time on creative experimentalism. At that point, you're in deep trouble. Because, your French prattling students will surely do badly where their silent couterparts next door will shine with high percentiles. What can you do to save your career while also saving your soul?
It's at this point that you dig up your arsenal of behavioral objectivds and hand your supervisor, with or without the results of the Cooperative Test, a set of results on a transactional competence test, which you have devised and succeeded in persuading the next door teacher to administer to her students. The shining superiority of your students will undoubtedly sufficiently counterbalance their low showing on the syntax and vocabulary test-unless your supervisor is extraordinary unreasonable, in which case we will all send you a birthday cake to cheer you up.
Now, what does your transactional competence teste look like? It must have two important features. First, it must have a clear face validity, which means that the items on the test must visibly reflect intuitively important uses of language. Such things, for instance, as:
Subtest 1: The ability to describe ongoing events
For example. you have a cooperative assistant enact a series of predetermined behaviors, and the pupil gives a running commentary of what he sees.
Subtest 2: The ability to interview someone
For example, you can pretend to be a famous movie actress and the pupil is covering your visit in town for the local radio station.
Subtest 3: The ability to be funny in French
For example, you can ask the pupil to talk about his family life in such a way as to be humorous and funny, though truthfully informative.
Subtest 4: The ability to relate a conversation
For example, you may play a tape recording of a spontaneous conversation in french between two speakers and ask the student to relate the conversation.
All right. So much for the nature of the behavioral objectives to be covered by the transactional performance test. We are not trying to be exhaustive in our examples.
Let us present an example. Suppose you have a class of 30 students, and wish to provide 8 scales for subtest 4, The Ability to Relate a Conversation. You might pick a 10-point bipolar scale for each of the following 8 judgements:
1. Accuracy of Information
very poor 0 _____________________10 fully accurate
2. Amount of Information Related
very little 0 _____________________10 all of it
3. Fluency of Speech
very hesitant 0 __________________10 ordinary fluency
4. Naturalness of Discourse Organization
abnormal 0 _____________________10 normal
5. Style of Expression
foreign 0 _______________________10 native
6. Clarity of Expression
unclear 0 ______________________ 10 clear
7. Gestural Fluency of Conversational Naturalness
odd 0 ________________________10 normal
8. Complexity of Transactional Performance
(Student contributed commentary on reported conversation in his reporting of it)
Straight 0 ____________________10 skillfully intriciate
An Action Plan
Now let us give you a few tricks of the trade which we are
certain will alleviate the worst of your fears when contemplating the magnitude of this
enterprise to be fitted in on your daily schedule.
1. You can begin on a small scale in an experimental fashion until you know what you're doing.
2. Perhaps your first step might be to reserve a few minutes of each class for the Game of Transactional Performances, along the lines we have suggested for Exchanging greets, chanigng topics, and postponing leave taking.
3. After doing this for a while, and gaining confidence in yourself as one who enacts transactional performances in the classroom, and perhaps even beginning to like it and enjoy it.
4. Now invite a colleague to join you in your project. If you get along together, she'll see and understand your goals and methods.
5. Now, armed with knowledge, confidence, and a reliable test, you are ready to confront your supervisor. You make him inspect your test of transactional performance and you say to him: "Now, look, I have a very reasonable proposal to make. I want you to look at the title and descriptions of my subtests. Do they seem to you the sort of skills you would want our students to be able to have?"
6. In some cases it might be advisable and/or necessary to undertake your project for the new program in cooperation with several collegaues having responsibility for various aspects and levels of the exisitng program.
We wish you courage and good luck.
We would now like to summarize the position we have outlined. We began by arguing that the current prevalent conception of foreign language teaching as a school subject is a necessary outgrowth of the great effort exerted in the past twenty years to place foreign language study on the record in the regular curriculum of the mass educational system. We have argued that the contination of this conception is being maintained by the wide use of standardized paper and pencil achieveemtn tests which force teachers to continue spending a major portion of the available instructional time in teaching facts about a language and its people rather than teaching transcational performances using the foreign language as a medium of display. Some examples of these might be as follows: French 109: How to Read Newspapers and Magazines; French 115: Conversations in Public Places; French 122: Writing Letters and Other correspondence; French 149: Conversations Among Friends; French 161: Telephone Conversations. And so on. If judicious use is made of individualized programmed packages, a large number of such mini course can be offered even by a small language department. These program units would be prepared by the teacher on principles analogous to what she now calls "lesson plans."
We have also made some suggestions concerning the need for evaluating such a new program in reasonable rather than unreasonable terms. A reasonable approach is one in which the supervisor assesses the program by cooperating with the teacher in the preparation adn administration of local tests of transactional performances the pupil succeeds in accomplishing under test conditions, these being reliable and having face validity.
We have also talked about the attitude and goals of the teacher in teaching a foreign language. If her orientation is in terms of the significance foreign language study has for the pupil, and she conceives of the learning teaching process as a meaningful transactional exchange in the natural growth of both parties, then her teaching in the classroom becomes a staged transactional performance of a personal nature, learning while she teaches, continually improving the efficientcy with which she engineers the instructional transactions, thus actualizing her creative needs.

No Bake |Smoothies galore … and the difference between a food processor and blender #smoothies #healthy #seasonal #freshproduce
"I have more healthy cravings than my normal eating habits, like I crave fruit and cold things like smoothies."
Kourtney Kardashian
Smoothies … you gotta love them. As the years pass by, the head wins over the heart. You know that it's easier to gulp down a smoothie than chew through a buncha green leaves! And you also know that however good or bad it tastes, a well balanced, seasonal smoothie is going to do you a load of good. It's pointless waiting for the new year to come and make resolutions, so I just got the ball rolling and made them before! Post the Jaipur trip, what with all the over the top indulgence and pampering, I had but one thing on my mind, get FIT!I have begun taking tiny steps. I'm eating healthier, I'm not eating out a lot, fewer food reviews, some form of exercise … and of course smoothies. I've also been invited to join the Fit Foodie panel on Saffola, which just gives me more reason to work towards my goal! I've put together a small graphic to make things easier. Play around with these three groups {not an exhaustive list} , add some yogurt, milk, buttermilk, almond milk, fruit juice or maybe water as required. I also throw in spoon or two of oats at times.Do you smoothie? Here's a bunch of recipes to set you off if you want to join in. You can find some here too. I basically go through the fridge to find what I can use and pair. I made three versions yesterday, and surprisingly enough the persimmon one was the best. The spinach, cuke and tender coconut water was nice too. The banana smoothie we have everyday, so that was quite normal, but normal good. Such fun. The processor is such a magic machine!
The processor is a blessing in disguise for soups too, though the immersion blender works really well in most cases. A while ago however someone asked me what the difference was between a food processor and blender. I have both in the kitchen, and it set me thinking. Thought I'd try and answer the query here just in case you had similar questions. Hope it helps…
Food processors and blenders, what are the differences between them?
If you only have a small kitchen then you may be wondering if you really need both a blender and a food processor. The fact is that although both gadgets have blades, and a reputation for dicing and slicing, they actually have quite different uses.
If you are going to be able to do all of the jobs you need to in a kitchen the chances are you are going to want to use a blender and a food processor at some point; especially if you regularly make smoothies or soups.
When does a blender come into its own?
The shape and blades of a blender are designed to cater for soft fruit and liquids. The name really says it all; these gadgets are excellent for blending ingredients into such delights as tasty smoothies. Depending on what fittings your blender has it may be able to cope with slicing ice for use in the smoothies; this can make them into an extra special treat on a hot summer day.
These tasty additions to any menu are a great way of getting fruit into a child's diet. You can use the pulp produced when you are juicing to create imaginative and colorful smoothies that most children will love. The shape of a blender is slender and designed to accommodate soft and liquid products, and not usually more solid produce.
What about a food processor?
If you are using liquids then it's a good idea to stick to using your blender, but for anything more solid you should switch to a food processor. Food processors have blades that are designed for chopping and slicing.
They also have a bowl that is larger and can accommodate more solid produce. If you have vegetables that you want to reduce in to small pieces to use in a soup then a food processor is the perfect gadget to use. It can cope with all sorts of vegetables and nuts, and in no time you will have all of the ingredients you need to make as much delicious soup as you want.
Which is the best to have, a blender or a food processor?
The answer to this question is really going to depend on what you need to do most. Is it more important to you to be able to blend together liquids, making drinks and smoothies; or is it more important to you to be able to slice vegetables for soups or stews?
It may be that you need to do both. There are blenders that have blades which provide a certain amount of chopping capacity, and food processors can deal with a very small amount of liquid, but generally if you want to be able to blend and chop you are going to have to make room in your kitchen for both a blender and a food processor.
So I guess it's time to SMOOTHIE! Come join me. Grab a bunch of fresh seasonal produce, pair it with a medium you like, throw in some nuts, seeds, herbs and get going. Once you're done, what's next? Soup maybe?
Summary: Time for SMOOTHIES! Come join me. Grab a bunch of fresh seasonal produce, pair it with a medium you like, throw in some nuts, seeds, herbs and get going. 3 recipes to get you going …

Today, I dropped a whole batch of penis-shaped cookies on the floor. Then I thought, "5-second rule" and started eating them. And then I realized that I was home alone, in pajamas, eating broken dick-cookies off the floor. FML

Some of you want to rip your hair out. As tantalizing as this Phillies team can be, they are equally as head scratching and mystifying.
Before you do rip the follicle from the root, understand that they are one win away from setting a franchise record for April. So as bad as you think it is right now with injuries to Chase Utley, Domonic Brown, Brad Lidge, Jose Contreras, and JC Romero, and the loss of Roy Oswalt and Carlos Ruiz on this past road trip, they are tearing up April in ways never before seen in these parts.
At 16-8, the Phillies tied the record on Wednesday with their series-finale win in Arizona. The 17th win might come as a sour reminder that several players are missing and this month could have turned out to be even more fruitful had they not been. The 17th win – if or when it comes – can also tell you just how resilient and talented this club is.
Consider that Raul Ibanez is in the middle of a career-worst slump; 0-for-23 to be exact. He hasn't gotten aboard with a base hit since April 18th, a nine-game absence.
Consider that Ryan Howard's home run on Wednesday was his first in 14 games.
Consider that Cliff Lee hasn't even scratched the surface of how good he can be (4.18 ERA, 2-2 record).
Jimmy Rollins has had a tough time as the Phillies three-hole hitter, driving in just five runs in 24 games, three of them on Wednesday.
So before you rip the team for an offensive slump – we're all guilty of it, myself included – or complaining that the bullpen isn't good enough, or crying that Kyle Kendrick and David Herndon don't deserve a roster spot, just know that they are still a damn good ball club. Even with all the negatives, so many positives stand out; Polanco, Hamels and Oswalt, to name a few.
Pretty crazy, right?

We have played well, and don't mean to discount that, however there have been more games this April than in the past (by about 4 games) with the season starting earlier this year, so it is somewhat misleading…
The Phillies have the second best winning percentage in baseball right now. But it's never good enough for some people.
Resilient is the perfect word. May not always be pretty, but tough and resilient. There has been a lot of complaining about old UC, but I give him a lot of credit last year and this for keeping this team rolling despite all the man games lost by key players. Seems Charlie's at his best when his team may not be.
It's NEVER good enough, Tracey… don't you know that? This is Phillies Nation… we're realistic until we lose a game and then we're calling for heads and storming the castle with pitchforks. Why should we be happy/content? I mean, it's not as if this is the greatest era in Phillies baseball… oh wait, it is.
"storming the castle with pitchforks" that's classic, lol
I say when Lee came back that injuries were the only thing that could stop this team. It's NEVER easy being a Philly or Phillies fan. Oh BTW we love us some Doug Collins, thanks coach for making b'ball relavent again in Philly.
Playing the other side of the coin.
10 games vs the 3 last place teams in the NL Houston Washington and San diego.
Then throw in a mets team that is basicly the most pathetic team in sports. And even though Arizona won the series they arent a contender.
May brings the Rangers, Reds and Rockies. A more realistic barometer
Id not be suprised to be in second place at the end of may. Especially if Ruiz is missing a good portion of the month.
This is the best time ever to be a phillies fan and it is a pleasure to tune in every night. Just pointing that out not hating. 🙂
Late August/ September schedule is not easy this year either, so we can't wait and then hope for our normal late run. If we don't lock it up early, I expect a rough ride all the way to the finish line. That might not be a bad thing, if we can get healthy, keep them sharp.
You can only beat the teams you play. They did that and thats what matters.
I also like the saying "storming the castle with pitchforks." Really, it is part of being a Phillies fan and a Philadelphia fan in general. We are a bunch of crazies. BiPolar in our attitude. When the Phils win, all is wonderful and bright and sunny. When the Phils lose, it is raining
pigeon dew all over. Tough to live this way. It is the only way I know. I do get worked up about the Eagles, not so much about the Flyers and Sixers. But I REALLY LOVE MY PHILS.
It is sorta like having a gifted by very ornery child.
I hope the injuries stop and we get healthy. But we are one of the oldest teams in baseball.
What do we expect?
Adressing something in another thread where I compared Ruiz to Bench and Ivan Rodriguez it is defensively only. And thats a pretty big deal. Since catcher is a defensive first position. More so than even SS.
Ruiz will never get a vote for the hall of fame etc etc. But he is the best defensive catcher in the majors right now.
If he is worth 0.50 to the team ERA thats 81 extra runs. Id suspect that over 162 games team ERA with a schneider would be at least that much higher if not more.
Bench should have been MVP every year he played 130 games in the 70s. He is the greatest catcher ever and he is under rated.
On the flip side Piazza never won an MVP. For obvious reasons.
Ruiz met with the team doctor. No update yet?
I suspect they will be very cautious. A bad back and squating down 160 times a night doesnt seem to be a good mix.
This offense is doing about what we all expected, and I can't wait to see what happens when Halladay and Lee reach their prolonged periods of outright nastiness that we know they're capable of.
I was thinking the same thing about records for April, since it did start earlier, so I was wondering what was the best winning percentage for the month of April. I also want to send out some positve vibrations to Little Roy and his family hoping that they can get through the terrible weather unscathed and healthy. Stay with your family as long as you need Roy your team has your back, that is why you came to Philly to pitch, even if KK has to start a game I perdict he pitches one of his 7 inning 1 run games with 2 K's. Family first is the only way to go, take care of them and come back when they are all safe.
The 'Killer Zs". Every Philly who's last name ends with a "z" should be benched. While I don't revere catchers the way AFW does, I think that Chooch is the best Phillies catcher….ever. When I think of what a catcher should be, I think of Chooch. When I think of the megadeal that the Phillies could make in August, I think Of Vic and Blanton going for a flat out stud hitter. And I mean stud.
The Dipsy
Ah Dipsy – getting a stud I fully agree with. Trading Blanton is something I was espousing since before the season began but to give up our only decent arm in the OF? I dont know about that.
Pat – Brown has a great arm.

In The Adirondacks
APA approves meat processing plant near Ticonderoga
The Adirondack Park Agency has approved plans for the Adirondack Meat Company to set up a meat processing plant near the Ticonderoga Business Park in Essex County.
The project will lead to the first USDA certified meat processing facility in the Adirondack Park. Once operational, it will employ 12 full-time and two part-time employees. In addition, it is thought the project will support 24 full-time and six part-time workers in related industries.
"Presently, a lack of this type of facility in proximity to North Country farms and the limited capacity of regional processing facilities has prevented industry growth," said APA Chairwoman Leilani Ulrich.
"The development of this meat processing facility will support the expansion of the cattle production industry and local direct market farming."
The business will process a maximum of 10 animals per day, primarily beef cattle, but will also have the capacity to process pigs, goats, and sheep.
"We believe there is a critical need for this type of facility in the region and we look forward to helping expand sustainable agriculture throughout the Adirondack Park," said Peter Ward, Adirondack Meat Company owner.
A USDA inspector will be present on site and have an office in the building thereby ensuring compliance with all USDA regulations, APA officials said.

Orange Baptist music director retires after 21 yearscomment (0)
October 8, 2009
William "Roy" Dover has retired as music director of Orange Baptist Church, Haleyville, in Franklin Baptist Association after 21 years of service.
Pastor Loyd Griffus and the church honored Dover with a plaque of appreciation.
"He is just a great person who has devoted all these years of his life to the Lord in serving in that capacity," Griffus said. "I don't think we could express in words what he has meant to the church. … He's an inspiration and his help to the church, in my estimation, is immeasurable."
Dover, a native of Loretta, Tenn., served as a part of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers from 1942 to 1945. In addition to leading church music, he plays the guitar and fiddle.
Dover and his wife of 62 years, Willie Myree Porter Dover, have five children, five grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

The 3.6 km long ring wall in Visby, Gotland
Photo: © Mats Jansson/www.gotland.info
In the 1360s Visby on Gotland was one of the crown jewels of the Hanseatic League and a rich and prosperous merchant city. Goods from all over the world were bartered and traded inside the 3.5 km long town wall that surrounds the merchants' old stone houses and churches.This part of Visby has been adopted by UNESCO as a World Heritage site because of its unique cultural value.
Visby's glorious past is celebrated each year in the first week of August at Medieval Week, with a jousting tournament, theatre and music and a medieval market. At this time of year the town's streets are filled once again by merchants, jesters and musicians of the Hanseatic period.
During summer each year Visby is a bustling town of cafe's, restaurants and nightclubs catering for the Swedish and international yachting crowd.

- The merger of equals between Alamos Gold (NYSE:AGI) and AuRico Gold (NYSE:AUQ) makes no sense for AGI shareholders, as the deal "effectively rescues" AUQ from its balance sheet troubles and provides AGI no premium in exchange, says TD Securities analyst Steven Green.
- The deal's enterprise value of $392 for AGI vs. AUQ's EV of a bit more than $1B means the merger undervalues AGI, Green says in downgrading AGI to Hold from Buy and cuts his stock price target to $9 from $11.
- The deal effectively puts both miners into M&A play, Green says, speculating that Agnico Eagle Mines (NYSE:AEM), Kinross Gold (NYSE:KGC) and Iamgold (NYSE:IAG) could be interested in AGI.
Apr. 13, 2015, 8:34 AM
- In a merger of equals, current owners of Canada's Alamos Gold (NYSE:AGI) and AuRico Gold (NYSE:AUQ) will each own roughly 50% of the new company - named Alamos Gold - whose value will be about $1.5B. The new company's board will have five directors from each firm.
- Also part of the deal, the new company will spin off some assets, including AuRico's Kemess project in B.C.
- A conference call is just underway.
Apr. 2, 2014, 6:40 PM
- Yamana Gold (AUY) looks to have captured a huge prize in the Malartic gold mine via the acquisition of a 50% stake in Osisko Mining's (OSKFF) mining and exploration assets, but analysts are skeptical about AUY effectively paying a premium without gaining a controlling interest in the mine itself.
- Cowen analyst Adam Graff approves of the deal as it would help generate some tax savings for AUY in Canada, but he doubts the savings will offset the negative impact of the purchase premium.
- Investor Adrian Day says the implied price AUY would pay doesn't look grossly high, but the deal structure, where Yamana will not get control, is unusual; if hostile takeover bidder Goldcorp (GG) comes back with a better offer, he thinks many shareholders will find it easier to wrap their heads around than AUY's deal.
- Analysts had not expected another mining company to challenge Goldcorp, and some see a higher bid coming: "They have been chasing this asset for five years and there is no reason they would let it slip through their fingers."
- AUY shares -2.2% on the day, but most gold miners gained: OSKFF +7.7%, GG +2%, NGD +4.4%, ABX +4%, AGI +4%, NEM +3.3%, ANV +3.3%, NG +3%, GFI +2.7%, KGC +2.6%.

U.S. silver miner Hecla Mining (HL) agrees to acquire Canadian gold miner Aurizon Mines (AZK) for ~C$796M, nearly a month after AZK rejected an offer from Alamos Gold (AGI).

Jan. 15, 2013, 10:43 AMAlamos Gold (AGI) is a low-cost, open-pit gold miner in Mexico, while Aurizon Mines (AZK +2.1%) is a higher-cost, underground gold miner in Quebec.

(PhysOrg.com) -- The new six-member Expedition 20 crew aboard the International Space Station focused on spacewalk preparations and maintenance activities Thursday during a half-duty day.
The first spacewalk of the Expedition 20 mission is scheduled to begin at 2:45 a.m. EDT Friday with a duration of 5 ½ hours. NASA TV coverage will begin at 2:15 a.m.
During the spacewalk, Commander Gennady Padalka and Flight Engineer Mike Barratt will prepare the Pirs docking compartment for the arrival of the Mini-Research Module 2, which will serve as an additional docking port for Russian vehicles. The spacewalkers will install a docking antenna to help guide the new module into place when it arrives at the station aboard an unpiloted Soyuz in November.
Padalka and Barratt also will photograph the Strela-2, a manually operated crane used during Russian spacewalks.
While the spacewalkers complete their tasks outside the station, Flight Engineer Koichi Wakata will assist them from inside the Zvezda service module.
Throughout the week, Padalka and Barratt completed a variety of tasks in anticipation of Friday's spacewalk including resizing spacesuits, conducting routine spacesuit maintenance and configuring spacewalk tools and equipment.
The newest station residents, Flight Engineers Roman Romanenko, Robert Thirsk and Frank De Winne, worked on a variety of station maintenance tasks. They also continued to familiarize themselves with their new home in space.
The crew has adjusted its sleep schedule Thursday to accommodate the early start time of the spacewalk. A wake up time of 6 p.m. sets in motion the crew's final spacewalk preparations.

The Pohnpei Utility Corporation (PUC) operation and maintenance division has undergone relatively large changes in personnel over the last few years and many of the technicians presently working on the system are relatively untrained. Presently PUC is experiencing their most serious operation and maintenance problems with the mechanical and electrical controls for their pumps in the water supply and wastewater collection systems and for the maintenance and repair of altitude and pressure regulating valves in the distribution system. The PUC has requested that we carry out a hands-on training program in pump and automatic regulating valve repair and maintenance for their operation and maintenance people in both the water supply and wastewater areas. The utilities in the other states in the FSM are experiences similar operation and maintenance problems. We are proposing to provide and one weeklong comprehensive training program in operation and maintenance of pumps and valves for utility personnel. The training will be carried out in Pohnpei state but the training will be made available to utility employees from the other three states in the FSM. The proposed training will consist of the following topics:
1. Site inspection of water supply facilities
2. Pump station equipment design, operation and maintenance
3. Hands on training at the CPUC maintenance shop covering preventative and overhaul maintenance of existing pumps and controls
4. Discussion of future needs and required actions for long term preventative maintenance program
1. Site inspection of existing altitude and pressure regulating valves (PRV)
2. Theory of operation of Altitude and PRVs
3. Hands on training at the PUC maintenance shop covering preventative and overhaul maintenance of valves
