Days Of Our Lives Recaps
DAYS Week of August 13, 2007
In Indianapolis, Billie and Philip returned to Lauren's apartment, so she hid in the bedroom. He retrieved his cell phone from the table. Billie smelled perfume "and it ain't mine," she said. Belle and Shawn arrived outside the door. Shawn asked if Belle believed that he had nothing to do with the Lauren situation. Belle said she did. They knocked on the door. Philip was surprised to see them. Shawn revealed that he was with Lauren on July 4th. Phil was peeved. Shawn told him about Mimi's call and about how Bonnie paid Lauren to keep the baby. Once Bonnie went to prison, Lauren turned to Mimi for cash, Shawn explained. Philip reamed Shawn for keeping quiet. Shawn admitted that he didn't believe Lauren's story and gave her Philip's number to call her bluff. Philip still didn't understand why Shawn wasn't truthful. They heard a noise in the other room and when they went in, realized Lauren had been there and left through the window. Billie called the detective she was working with in Indianapolis. Philip took off to look for Lauren. Shawn lamented to Belle that he made everything worse by keeping mum. Philip returned and he and Shawn faced off. "Oh, save it, Shawn. I know what you're doing and why you're doing it. You're stuck living under my roof watching me give Belle and Claire everything you wish you could, but you can't because you're the same loser you've always been." Philip huffed. Belle stepped in and hotly defended her fianc. Philip asked Belle if she knew about Lauren. She insisted she didn't. Shawn tried to apologize, but Philip wasn't so ready to forgive and forget. At the hospital, Kayla held the baby boy. Lexie and Abe looked dubious. Lexie asked her if she was sure she wanted to take the tot home. What about Steve, Abe asked. Kayla was optimistic that her husband would be on board. Enter Steve. Kayla explained about how the baby's mother abandoned him and he needed a home. Abe and Lexie vouched for the Johnsons to Mrs. Meyers from Child Services and Abe offered to speak to Mrs. Meyers's boss, since there were strict rules about the placement of children. After they left, Steve remarked to Kayla that she blindsided him. He worried that when Child Services looked into his past, they would no longer be good foster care candidates. He also questioned his parental skills in light of his argument with Stephanie. Kayla referred to the baby as "Pocket," explaining that he was small enough to practically fit a pocket. "I guess that's better than Benjy Part Two," Steve mused. "But not much. She tried to get Steve to hold the baby, but he refused and told her to stop pushing him. She apologized and pointed out that Pocket came into their lives for a reason, just like Benjy, Max and Frankie did. He was still on the fence about being a new dad again. She said she'd call Mrs. Meyers and say they changed their minds. He stopped her, saying he was having warm memories of the day Steph was born. Mrs. Meyers came in and said they were approved. A happy, teary Steve was thrilled, then took the baby so he could get acquainted with him. Kayla left with Mrs. Meyers to sign paperwork. Abe came in and found Steve chatting with the baby. Kayla and Lexie arrived, too. Lexie took a "family photo" with her cell phone camera. Hope and Bo arrived at the church in Galway during a rainstorm. Bo teased his wife for complaining about the wet weather. They looked for the tabernacle. Bo noted that only a man/priest could open it. They spied a nun praying, unaware that it was Andre in disguise. They went to look for the priest and when they returned, saw that the nun was gone, but left big footprints behind. Bo told Hope to stay and wait for the priest or the nun. She said she knew he was concerned that Andre was around somewhere. He said he was, then told her to be careful. Hope spied the tabernacle, unaware that Andre was watching her. Bo returned, explaining it was raining so hard that he didn't find anyone. Hope said they should just open the tabernacle themselves. Bo agreed and put the key in. It wouldn't turn. Bo suggested it was the wrong tabernacle or the wrong church. A little boy came in, toting a knapsack, asking if they were the Bradys. They said yes, but asked how he knew them. He reported that the priest sent him and is on his way. They thanked him for telling them. He walked out, leaving the backpack behind. Hope called after him, but the boy was gone. They opened the sack to see if his address was in there. Bo pulled out a red toy truck and inspected it. "Hope, it's ticking," he exclaimed.
Jeremy tried to get in touch with his father, Mike. Stephanie came upon him and asked what was wrong. He said he was stressed that the Vegas cops were after him and everything was falling apart. Steph professed her devotion to him. The delivery of baby essentials from Baby Depot arrived at the hotel where Steve and Kayla live. Steve worried what would happen if the baby's parents or grandparents came to claim him. Kayla insisted she wouldn't get too attached, then went to tend to Pocket. She realized she didn't have any formula and left the baby with Steve while she went to get some. Steph arrived and found her father holding the baby and cooing. She asked what was going on. He explained how Pocket came to live with them. "Wait a second. You're adopting this kid?" she asked. He said no, that he was a foster child. Kayla came back and Steph pouted that nobody told her. "Maybe parenthood will work out for you this time," she said snidely, then apologized. An upset Kayla said she didn't even recognize Steph anymore. Steph began to cry and said that she's been a disappointment to her father and maybe having the new baby was best for all of them. She ran out. Steve handed the baby to Kayla so he could talk to his daughter in the hallway. "You're my baby," he assured her. "You're my little sweetness. No one could ever replace you." She was happy and told her father she loved him. On her laptop, Chelsea watched a wedding video of Nick and China Lee. She showed Nick when he arrived at the Pub. "I don't remember any of this," he said, confused. "That's because you had that concussion," Chelsea reminded him. China Lee strolled in. She went over to her husband's table and asked if he had seen the DVD. He said he had. She remarked that she was a picture-perfect bride. "If you're the bride of Satan," Chelsea replied. China Lee pulled out pictures that her sons made for their new daddy. Chelsea scoffed at her lame attempts to make her relationship with Nick seem real and called her a gold-digging whore. Nick quieted Chelsea, then explained to his wife that he had a head injury when he married her and asked if they could get it annulled. She threatened to sue him for abandonment. "You want to play hardball, China? I'm ready," Nick declared. She asked for a cash payment to be done with him. She walked out. Chelsea planted a big kiss on him. "That's for the real Nick Fallon finally standing up for himself," she explained. Jeremy tracked Max down at the Pub. "Take a hike," Max told him. Jeremy said he needed Max's help and was desperate. Max was unconvinced and added that Chelsea and Jett were on to Jer, too and it was only a matter of time before Steph was. Jeremy said she could never find out, then admitted that the designer clothes were a cover for smuggling women in from Eastern Europe. Max was appalled. Jeremy insisted he didn't know what was going on at first. He asked Max to help him make things right, then revealed that the man behind the operation is Andre DiMera. Max suggested they call Bo and Roman, but Jeremy said no. We're going to have to do things my way, Max said, then announced that he wanted to set all the girls free before Andre found out. "It's a bomb," Bo exclaimed about the toy truck in the church. He ran out and threw the truck in the garbage; Hope called out to him to ask what was going on. He told her to stay inside. Hope went back to the tabernacle and tried the key. Andre crept up behind her. She got it to open. Inside, she found a leather folio. Andre grabbed her — and the folio. Bo came in; Hope hit Andre and threw the folio to Bo. Andre pulled Hope to him again and held a knife to her neck. Bo slid the folio over to him, but Andre still held her to torture Bo. Father Wallace came in during the standoff. Andre made his escape. Bo went after him. Andre struck Bo from behind with the knife then ran off. Inside, Hope apologized to the priest for going into the tabernacle, but he said it hadn't been used in years and they thought it was empty. Bo came in; Hope saw that he was bleeding. The priest went to get bandages. Once alone, Bo suggested to Hope that they keep mum to everyone but Abe and Roman about Andre's involvement and claim that the tabernacle was empty. Bo noted they needed to get to Andre — and Salem — before Andre got the folio to Stefano. "Our family's lives are depending on it," he said.
Kayla looked through a box of Stephanie's old baby clothes. Steve came in
with Pocket. Kayla was happy that they were bonding. She said she was
looking to see if anything would fit Pocket. Steve said no girl clothes for
the boy. Steve then went to change Pocket and wound up with a wet shirt.
Kayla found an old bear of Steph's and got sentimental for her daughter's
childhood. Steve admitted that he feels cheated that he didn't see her grow
up. Kayla changed Pocket into a onesie that read "I Love Daddy," which
prompted Steve to make a face.
Aboard the Touch the Sky jet, Stephanie served a flirty, pushy passenger
named Mr. Lowell, then complained about him to Chelsea. "You let Jeremy
treat you like that all the time," Chelsea sniffed. Steph defended her beau.
The two bickered.
Jett sat down next to Max and revealed himself as a cop. "You're in some
serious heat," Jett said. Max was annoyed that Jett deceived him. Jett asked
more questions about the side business, but Max played dumb. Agent Carver
warned him that Jeremy was going down and that Max should be honest about
whatever he knows. Max insisted on keeping mum. Jett got up and went to the
galley to talk to Chelsea. "Shouldn't you be, like, flying the plane or
something?" she asked. He tried to explain why he didn't tell her he was an
ISA agent, but she wasn't interested in hearing what he had to say.
Mr. Lowell called Stephanie over and made lame excuses to keep her there. A
fed-up Steph dumped his food on him. Mr. Lowell started to yell at her and
grabbed her arm. Max stepped in and clocked him. Jett and Jeremy came to see
what the commotion was about. "Baby, did this guy put his hands on you?"
asked Jeremy, who was ready to pummell Lowell. Jett told Jer that the Vegas
police would handle it. Jeremy comforted Stephanie. Jett cuffed Lowell.
Jeremy asked where he got the hadrware. "They're my Uncle Abe's," Jett
covered, then said one of them had to get back to the cockpit before the
passengers got worried.
EJ peered into Lucas's hospital room and wasn't thrilled to see Sami by her
husband's side. Inside the room, Roman — who was still recovering
—questioned Sami, but she said she was only focused on Lucas waking
up. Roman assured her he'd be fine. Sami opened the door for Roman to exit.
Roman encountered Kate in the hallway, who asked about her son. Roman said
he'd be okay. EJ listened in on their conversation and was pleasantly
surprised to hear Kate refer to him as a hero. After, he called the Channel
6 news. Kate went inside and called to Lucas, who woke up. The women were
overjoyed. "I'm cold," he said. "What the hell happened?" Sami filled him in
and he recalled hearing a female voice outside of the freezer truck. Kate
revealed that EJ saved him. Enter EJ, with a news crew, and a reporter
calling him "Salem's hometown hero."
The reporter interviewed Sami, EJ and Lucas, then EJ walked him out. Lucas
was not pleased and suspected that EJ was involved with his "accident". EJ
returned and claimed Andre was behind it all. Sami and Lucas weren't so
sure. "What about you?" Lucas queried. EJ feigned innocence. Lucas still
wasn't convinced. Sami wanted to stay in the hospital with her husband; EJ
asked her to stay with him. Lucas barked that that would never happen. EJ
and Kate tried to change his mind. Sami insisted on staying with her
husband. EJ again offered his hospitality. Lucas lost it and tried to stand
up, but fell and was alarmed when he couldn't feel his legs. A frustrated
Lucas kicked everyone out. They continued their discussion outside. Roman
came up in time to hear Sami saying she wouldn't go home with EJ. Roman told
Wells to back off. The doctor arrived and said that Lucas's numbness was
temporary and a result of the hypothermia. Sami was relieved and went in to
see her husband. Once alone with EJ, Roman said that he suspected EJ wasn't
so innocent and that he'd be keeping an eye on him. After, Kate echoed the
sentiment, saying she'd strangle him if she found out he had anything to do
with harming Lucas.
Sami tended to Lucas in the hospital. While they were kissing, the nurse
came in and reminded them that it wasn't a no-tell motel. They explained
that they had asked for a second bed, but it never came. Lucas asked the
nurse to look into getting them one. Sami accused him of flirting when the
nurse left the room. They got frisky and she gave him a massage. After,
Lucas brought up the vendetta and asked her to stop going after Stefano. She
said she had to and that she felt a connection to Colleen. "I want to make
it right for her,' Sami explained. They began to kiss. Lucas worried that
the nurse would return, so Sami moved something in front of the door. They
started making out again. Lucas's heart monitor went wild; the nurses rushed
in, saying his heart rate was racing and his blood pressure was up. He told
them that Sami was just trying to get his temperature up.
Anna and Tony arrived at the hospital to visit Roman, but his room was
empty. They were cooing and kissing when Roman came in. Tony left them
alone. Roman spied the gift basket and asked if that's what Anna was giving
him because she was dumping him. They had an awkward conversation about
their fling, then he told her he wanted to watch the ball game. She wouldn't
leave, but apologized for stringing him along. "I do love you, Roman,' she
said. "But not like you love Tony,' he sighed. He then wished her well, but
warned, "Tony DiMera is not going to stick around.' Anna asked why Roman was
trying to hurt her. He insisted he wasn't. He was just reminding her that
Tony was a womanizer. Roman added that he was available should she ever need
a good man around.
In the hallway, Tony encountered Stefano. "What brings you here? Are you
about to die?' Tony grinned. Rolf revealed that the Phoenix had taken a turn
for the worse. The doctor brought medication to Stefano and told him to
return next week. Tony suggested Stefano leave a positive legacy by ending
the vendetta. Stefano revealed that Andre retrieved the contents of the
tabernacle and that the vendetta will never end until he destroys all of the
Bradys. Tony pointed out that Andre was a loose cannon and would be
Stefano's downfall. Stefano and Tony left. Anna came out of the room in time
to spot Tony giving a pretty nurse the eye.
In Las Vegas, Steph and Chelsea sat in the hot tub, having drinks. Steph
admitted that she liked that Max defended her on the plane. Chelsea advised
her not to read into it, and that Max would have done it for anyone. Steph
insisted that she wasn't into Max, but cried because she was having doubts
about Jeremy. Chelsea urged her to talk to him. There was a knock at the
door. Chelsea got out of the hot tub to answer it. It was Nick, with China
Lee and her two sons, Artemis and DeMarquette. The boys jumped on the couch;
China Lee kept referring to Nick as their dad. He gave them paper to make
paper airplanes in the other room. Once they left, Nick told China Lee to
stop confusing the boys since the marriage was going to be over. China Lee
said it would be once he got the $25,000. She took the boys to the pool.
Nick told Chelsea he was going to try and raise the money at the blackjack
tables with the $3,000 he got from cashing in a life-insurance policy.
Chelsea had something else on her mind: She wanted to hook up with him. Nick
was torn, but headed to the tables. He asked Chelsea to wait for him. They
On the jet, Max and Jeremy argued while waiting for Rawlings to show. Once
the sleazy guy arrived, Jeremy said that he and Max were out of the
business. Rawlings laughed at them and said they weren't getting out of it.
Max threatened to call the cops. Rawlings pointed out that Jeremy and Max
were just as guilty and left. Max told Jer that they had to find the women
who were involved in this scam. Jeremy said there were too many to do that.
Max said he would go straight to Jett, then caught himself. Jeremy heard,
though, and asked what Jett had to do with it. Nothing, Max insisted.
Unbeknownst to them, Jett was on the plane and overheard everything. Later,
in the hallway of the hotel, Jeremy asked Jett what was going on.
Max returned to the hotel room and saw Steph asleep in the hot tub. He woke
her up and she was startled. She told him to come in. He said no, but that
he wanted to check in on her. She thanked him for what he did on the plane.
He leaned in to talk to her. Chelsea spied their close moment and turned
around to go back inside. Steph and Max kissed.
At the Brady Pub, Tony chatted up two women about life in Spain. EJ walked in, so Tony went to talk to his brother at the bar. "If there was ever a face that screamed, 'Bring me a whiskey and leave the bottle,' I'm looking at it," Tony remarked. The brothers discussed Stefano. EJ said that the Phoenix had dreams for him, but EJ didn't share them. Tony asked what his heart's desire is. EJ replied that it would be for Sami to love him half as much as he loves her. "You have it bad. Maybe even terminal," Tony observed. Elvis admitted he felt like a fool for letting Sami get to him like she does. Tony said EJ could still have her if he believed it was worth the sacrifice. Tony told EJ about the key, the folio from the tabernacle and how Andre probably has it. He added that it's the key to the vendetta.
At the hospital, Sami and Lucas's friskiness continued. The pretty nurse brought in supplies for a sponge bath and oil massage. Sami wasn't thrilled, so Lucas suggested she go home to rest. "Oh, hell no," she smirked. The nurse began, but Sami insisted on taking over. Lucas got excited, so to calm down, they discussed baby names. Then then adjourned to the bathroom for a little private fun. The nurse caught them and warned that Lucas's condition was serious. Once alone, Sami and Lucas kissed. EJ walked in on them. "Well, I'm glad you're feeling better," he noted. Lucas asked what he was doing there. EJ said he thinks he found a way to end the vendetta. He told them about the leather folio and how Kate had been tapped as the courier to get it from Andre to Stefano. EJ noted that Kate was suddenly flush with cash and perhaps she got it from Stefano "for services rendered." Lucas insisted Kate's days of doing favors for money were over. Sami convinced Lucas that they needed to work together to bring down the DiMeras.
In Vegas, Nick lost all of his money. China Lee agreed to annul the marriage anyway.
Stephanie and Max made out in the hot tub, then she pulled away, reminding him that she was with Jeremy. "Jeremy who?" he asked. She said she loved Jeremy, then kissed Max again. He got into the hot tub, fully clothed, so they could continue their hot session. "This is so not right," Steph sighed. "Mmm... That feels right to me," Max replied. Steph reminded him that the last time they did this, he dumped her. He apologized and said it was a huge mistake on his part. They kissed again; Chelsea spied them.
In the hallway, Jeremy demanded to know if Jett was a cop. Jett sidestepped his question and then they were interrupted by Chelsea. Jeremy asked if Steph was inside. Knowing she was in the hot tub with Max, Chelsea tried to keep him from going inside, covering that she had to change into her lucky underwear. Chelsea went back inside and interrupted the makeout session to warn Steph and Max that Jeremy was on his way in. When Jeremy went inside, Steph came out of the tub. Jett went outside and caught Max under the water. He warned him about tangling with Jeremy. Max said he could handle Horton. Jett warned him that his involvement with Steph might mess up the ISA investigation. Steph ran into Max's arms because Jeremy was running after her. Jeremy asked why Max was so wet. Max lied that Jett dunked him in the hot tub. Jeremy high-fived his pal, then told Steph to change so they could hit the slots.
In the casino, Chelsea met Nick at the bar and told him about Steph and Max's kiss. Nick revealed what happened with China Lee. Chelsea was thrilled. They kissed happily. Chelsea then spied Jeremy give Steph some money. After she took off, Jeremy chatted up a girl in a red dress. Chelsea was annoyed for her friend. Nick told her he was going upstairs to sleep. "Sweet dreams," she smiled. He kissed her, then took off. Steph sat down with Chelsea. "I can totally explain," Steph announced. "Explain what? How you and Max ended up going deep-sea diving in the hot tub?" Chelsea replied.
Max spied Jeremy with the woman in the casino. Jer nodded, indicating she was one of the women involved in the Rawlings deal. Max then bumped into a woman named Jenna. They chatted and he offered to buy her a drink. When he went to get it, she made a mysterious call. "I've done what you asked for," she said. "Now what do you want me to do with him?"
Up in the room, Nick answered the door to find a hotel worker with China Lee's kids, saying he was instructed to bring them to their father.

For Gen. Martin Dempsey, Thursday's move to open combat units in the U.S. military to women had its roots nearly a decade ago, on the streets of Baghdad.
Dempsey took command of the Army's 1st Armored Division in June 2003, when Iraqi insurgents were starting to target American troops with sniper fire, grenades and roadside bombs. As he prepared for a trip outside his headquarters, he took a moment to introduce himself to the crew of his Humvee.
"I slapped the turret gunner on the leg and I said, 'Who are you?' And she leaned down and said, I'm Amanda.' And I said, 'Ah, OK,' " Dempsey told reporters at the Pentagon.
"So, female turret-gunner protecting division commander. It's from that point on that I realized something had changed, and it was time to do something about it."
Thursday, Dempsey -- now chairman of the Joints Chiefs of Staff -- sat alongside Defense Secretary Leon Panetta as both men signed a directive that will open front-line posts to the roughly 200,000 women now serving in the active-duty military.
Panetta said the move is a bow to reality on the battlefield, where women in what are technically non-combat units already find themselves fighting alongside their male comrades.
"The fact is, they have become an integral part of our ability to perform our mission, and for more than a decade of war they have demonstrated courage and skill and patriotism," Panetta said.
Women made up 67 of the nearly 3,500 Americans lost in hostile fire in Iraq and 33 of the 1,700-plus killed in combat in Afghanistan; more than 600 in Iraq and 300 in Afghanistan were wounded.
The ban on women in specialties such as armor, artillery and infantry dates back to 1994. The Pentagon loosened some of those restrictions in 2012, and Panetta said the result "has been very positive."
"If members of our military can meet the qualifications for a job -- and let me be clear, I'm not talking about reducing the qualifications for the job -- if they can meet the qualifications for the job, then they should have the right to serve, regardless of creed or color or gender or sexual orientation," he said.
Several U.S. allies, including NATO members France, Canada and Germany, allow women to serve in combat posts. Earlier this month, the U.S. Army opened the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment to women, and it has begun recruiting female pilots and crew chiefs. The Navy put its first female officers on submarines in the past year, and certain female ground troops have been attached to combat units in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Dempsey said Thursday's announcement would be implemented "over time and with careful analysis," but he added that the service chiefs were unanimous in their support for the move.
The move is one of the last significant policy decisions made by Panetta, who is expected to leave in mid-February. It is not clear where former Sen. Chuck Hagel, the nominated replacement, stands, but officials say he was apprised of Panetta's announcement.
The American Civil Liberties Union recently filed a federal lawsuit against the Department of Defense, charging that combat exclusion is unfair and outdated. The plaintiffs, who include women awarded Purple Hearts, also say the exclusion places them at a disadvantage for promotion.
Dempsey suggested allowing women into combat units may ease the military's ongoing problem with sexual harassment: "I have to believe, the more we can treat people equally, the more likely they are to treat each other equally."
Thursday's announcement drew an early cheer from Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, who served in Iraq as an officer in her state's National Guard.
"The first two women who earned Silver Stars since World War II, one was a military police sergeant. Another was a medic," Gabbard told CNN ahead of Thursday's announcement. "And they both were operating on the front lines per se, under fire, under extreme duress, shoulder to shoulder with their male and female counterparts and exhibiting great courage and heroism and saving the lives of their brothers and sisters."
Not every position will open at once, however. Each service will have to examine its jobs and produce a timetable for integration. And Gen. Robert Cone, the chief of the Army's Training and Doctrine Command, said the services are developing new physical standards to make sure recruits are capable of meeting the physical demands of combat roles.
"If you say, 'I want to be an infantryman,' we'll say, 'Can you pick up 54 pounds, you know, three feet in the air? Can you carry 66 pounds on your back?' " Cone said.
Cone said that's the biggest concern he hears from soldiers.
And it's one echoed by Jonn Lilyea, a former infantry sergeant who now publishes a military blog, "This Ain't Hell." Lilyea, who fought in the 1991 Persian Gulf war, said he believes physical standards will be relaxed "in order to force the acceptance of women in the combat arms specialties."
"I know it's an eventuality, because the social scientists at the Pentagon are going to want to see numbers that get accepted in there so they can show how just the whole thing is," he said.
Dempsey said the services can still recommend closing a particular specialty or unit to women -- but "They have to explain why, and I think there will be the right amount of scrutiny on that." And Lilyea said he wasn't reassured by Dempsey's insistence that the brass is supportive.
"I'm sure they all stood and saluted and said 'Yes sir' and marched out smartly, but I don't think they're all 100% behind it," he said.
But Gabbard said there will be women who qualify for combat units under today's standards -- such as a friend of hers from MP school.

Tanning salons continue to increase in popularity as people discover the benefits of easily obtaining an even tan across their entire body. Rather than sitting out in the hot sun for hours and developing unsightly tan lines, an individual can simply enter a tanning bed for a minimal amount of time and achieve the exact look that they are going for. Due to this convenience, even people in naturally sunny areas, such as Florida, utilize tanning beds on a regular basis.
As many Miami accident lawyers will tell you, there are many cases of these types of injuries, so you should be forewarned that tanning beds do have risks associated with them, and it is important to have the facts before you make your first tanning appointment.
The Danger of UVB Exposure
Overexposure to Ultraviolet B (UVB) can lead to malignant melanoma and other forms of skin cancer. Each tanning bed utilizes UVB and UVA radiations to provide people with a tan, and it is important to understand that this can cause you to develop skin cancer. If you only go to the tanning bed a couple of times a year for special occasions, then you probably do not need to worry too much about UVB. Individuals who go on a regular basis, however, are taking a serious risk.
Immune System Issues
Exposure to an extreme amount of UV radiation will have a negative impact on your immune system. As a result, you will become much more likely to develop basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Immune system deficiencies caused by too much UV radiation can also leave you more susceptible to catching a common cold or coming down with influenza on a regular basis.
Premature Aging
Most people who regularly visit a tanning bed do so because they are concerned about their appearance. These same individuals who wish to have a perfect tan are setting themselves up for the effects of premature aging, however, and many of them do not realize this. It is common for people who tan frequently to take on a leathery or crumpled appearance over time, and these issues can make them look significantly older than they actually are.
Although most people would never associate a timed tanning bed session with the possibility of developing a sunburn, this is actually a somewhat common occurrence. Not only does getting sunburned defeat the purpose of showing off the perfect tan, but it is also uncomfortable. Individuals who obtain severe sunburns run a higher risk of contracting skin cancer as well, so it is very important to avoid tanning activities that may cause a sunburn.
Legal Recourse for Injuries
If you are injured by a third degree sunburn or other issue at a tanning salon, then you can and should contact a personal injury attorney. Even if you signed a release form that states you cannot sue, it is highly likely that a judge will still hear your case. Tanning salons generally carry a high level of liability insurance, and this means that you will most likely end up suing their insurance company instead of the salon directly. In many cases, the salon and the insurance company will make the decision to offer an out of court settlement. Average settlement offers can vary widely, but you should not settle unless you receive a fair offer. Obtaining a personal injury attorney will help you successfully navigate through this process.
Anthony Joseph is a freelance writer, and a contributing author for Miami accident lawyers. Being injured when you think you are in a safe situation can be one of the worst things you can ever go through, especially when it's a circumstance in which you had no reason to suspect you would be harmed. The way you can fight back is to have an experienced attorney in your corner, to help determine fault, negligence and to make certain your medical bills are covered.

Please log in or register to answer this question. 10 Answers 10 votes OK here is a Physical set for the hell of it. Archeops has the 3rd highest non-legendary Attack so we can probably KO a good few pokemon before HP falls. Nature: Jolly/Adamant EVs: Attack+Speed Item: Flying Gem Acrobat - Flying Gem activates before the move used so we get the 110 base power! Earthquake Stone Edge Endeavor (assuming we can survive one hit) or alternatively, U-Turn to make a quick exit. answered Oct 7, 2010 by Pokemaster edited May 8, 2011 by Pokemaster Please log in or register to add a comment. 3 votes Archeops is a beast, and the main point of Archeops is the hit hard, and hit fast. Archeops (Any gender) -Ability: Defeatist (Deal with it, you have no choice) -Nature: Adamant -Item: Flying Gem Moveset Acrobatics - STAB and Flying Gem Boost = App. 124 Base Power (The Flying Gem activates before the move is used, so that's how you get the boost. After the Flying Gem is used up, Archeops can still hit hard with Acrobatics) Steel Wing/ U-Turn = 70 Base Power (Though it's not much, steel wing can sometimes boost your defence, and U-turn can make for a quick exit) Rock Slide - STAB = App. 113 Base Attack (Great move, and will often make the target(s) flinch, since Archeops is likely to go first. Also a great help against ice types) Earthquake - 100 Base Power (How does a bird create an earthquake I do not know, but this move is awesome with Archeops. Great type coverage: Steel, Electric, and Rock. Three opponents of Archeops. As for Ev's max out Attack, and Speed, since your going to be mostly using them. The rest can go into HP and the Defences. Hope this helps! answered Jun 27, 2011 by Slick1806 This is a great moveset Please log in or register to add a comment. 3 votes OMG YES. DEFEATIST. WE HAVE A COUNTER TO YOU NOW!

Yeah, and since many battles take place on online battle simulators, we have access to Black and White 2 moves. But that only works for online battle simulators or not? Exactly. The main point of these movesets. They are for use in Battle Simulators such as Pokemon Showdown! and Pokemon Online. Ok I didn't you because I'm new here as you can see and thank you for telling me. Ok, well here's my Archeops: Ability: Defeatist Nature: Modest EVs: Sp. Atk+Speed Item: Wise Glasses **-AncientPower STAB + 10% to raise all stats -Earth Power Coverage and 10% chance to lower Sp.

That's pretty good. Acrobatics is a given STAB, and with the Flying Gem, it takes out bulky Fighting types like Conkeldurr easy. Rock Slide is also STAB, and also covers Ice weakness, which is pretty nifty. Earthquake is AWESOME, and covers other Rock types, along with Electric and Steel types. HP Grass completes this prehistoric monster by covering levitating Rock types, and covering Water types. Also covers Ground types in case of Gravity and if this guy survives Smack Down. You gotta admit, this set is pretty unexpected... answered Sep 9, 2011 by Fate Itself Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes Archeops (F) @ Choice Band Trait: Defeatist EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Jolly Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) Stone Edge Earthquake Dragon Claw U-Turn Stone Edge gives a nice 150 base power on top of archeops 568 attack stat with choice band (!!!!) Earthquake gives nice coverage. Dragon Claw is there for dragon that think they can come in and start boosting with dragon dance and get away with it. U-Turn is nice scouting, it gives some coverage as well. answered Aug 11, 2011 by Hex edited Sep 13, 2011 by Hex Don't you think that you should have a flying type move? Flying is unnecessary STAB for this guy. Acrobatics is nice but a bit questionable on a choice set. Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes My fav RU attacker is right here! he does kinda suck, but with a good set, he can shine! Archeops @ Flying Gem Defeatist Jolly 252 Atk/ 4 Def/ 252 Spe Head Smash Acrobatics Earthquake U-Turn Simple, yet effective, and super effective! He can pick his move of choice to hopefully OHKO the opponent. If he doesn't OHKO them, then he maims them for life! Head Smash is STAB and hits like a freight train. Anything that does not resist it dies. Acrobatics is also STAb and BAWS with the flying gem. Earthquake completes the EdgeQuake set. And U-Turn is for scouting and hitting a lot of stuff really hard. answered Jan 30 by DracoArceus Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes My prefered Archeops (offensive) moveset. Nature: Adamant EVs: Attack and Speed Item Held: Flying Gem Move 1- Acrobatics (Flying) PP: 15 ACC: 100 PWR: 55+Good DMG if opponent has no item Move 2- Dragon Claw (Dragon) PP: 15 ACC: 100 PWR: 80 Move 3- Earthquake (Ground) PP: 10 ACC: 100 PWR: 100 Move 4- Rockslide (Rock) PP: 10 ACC: 90 PWR: 75 Items to use on Archeops/EVs: Protein (+Attack) Carbos (+Speed) Explanation to Item/Moveset Archeops has been one of my favorite and most used Pokemon in the Black and White series of games. This moveset and items are mostly for an offensive attack first, and attack hard kind of Archeops. (like someone said previously) The move Acrobatics is a good move to have for this guy. Combined with the Flying Gem item which will boost its attack, this move has a 55 base power + more damage if your enemy has no held item. The move inflicts even more damaged if used with the Flying Gem item making it one of the best Flying type move/item combo in the game. Also this move has STAB. The next move Dragon Claw is also good because its 80 base damage may not be strong but this move is a good finisher/backup type move. Its Dragon type also adds alot of move combos and offensive possibilities. This move can be replaced by almost any move you want because its the last choice/replaceable move. Earthquake is a brilliant move to have Archeops learn because of the coverage it gives this Pokemon. It inflicts tremendous damage against three of this guys weaknesses. Ice/Electric/Rock. The last move Ive been using with my Archeops is Rockslide. Along with the STAB this move is good against Ice types which are one of Archeop's most dangerous foes. Thats my moveset for this sweet poke answered Jun 3 by Nash Ketchum Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes Little Cup moveset for Archen. :) Archen @ Leftovers Trait: Defeatist 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 HP Adamant Nature Pluck Rock Slide U-Turn Attract/Knock Off Pluck is great in LC, as you may know. U-Turn gets it away from Defensive Walls, Rock Slide is STAB, and I figured Attract could buy it some time to get around Defeatist, especially when coupled with the wonderful item Leftovers. I might post a Tailwind set later. :) answered Jun 17 by Poke'slash edited Jun 17 by Poke'slash Little cup? Do you mean archen?

In the Republic of Happiness
Various venues
Until Sat Jan 19
Time Out rating:
Reviews & ratings
Only on last night's Front Row, whilst promoting Written on Skin at the Royal Opera House (for which I've bought a ticket costing a mere £3!), did I find out that people walked out of 'In the Republic of Happiness'. ARE YOU INSANE???
I saw the play during the previews and I saw not a single person walk out and I sat in the slips where you can see everything (although I may have been concentrating on the play... and I thought I saw Martin Crimp sat in the front row).
I like Martin Crimp's work, most of it I have read rather than seen and doesn't always read well on the page (The City being one) but I appreciate him being one of the few playwrights to play with form.
This I loved. I had the text in front of me but allowed myself to be guided through the three scenes. The first, a really fucked-up Christmas dinner with the family when Uncle Bob arrives (bad choice of name in the current Saville-age), which had a real Crimpean darkness to it. The second was the chatshow form, where the individuals give their account of their lives and the right to their own opinions. The audience were wetting themselves with the sheer audacity of them, although the form (with songs) did remind me of the recent production of Brecht's Mother Courage at the Greenwich Theatre who used music in a similar way.
The only time I questioned the faith was the final scene, not truly knowing where this was going. I can only presume it was to where we are heading - a republic of a sterile, clean, inoffensive world where to be perfect is almost angelic.
I thought Crimp has challenged himself well this time and returned to the Royal Court with a bang.
So why do I think people walked out? Because if it is billed as an anti-Christmas play, they expect some kind of moral resolution as well as a feeling that this is Christmas. What you don't want is a roll call of obsessions about being molested at airport security or sex abuse... and it was very in your face, which made it all the more funny.
But it is nice to know that theatre, even the Royal Court, can produce a play where people do walk out. Theatre seems to be a little too safe these days.LR Tue Mar 5Rated as: 5/5 -
Congratulations on your remarkable insight. The 'vast majority can't stand it' apparently. You know this of course because you've asked them individually, Several thousands of them I expect. How did you do this ? My admiration is unbound. And apparently, on the evening you attended, 'most people had had enough'. More breathtakingly inventive research methodology I expect. I advance the inconvenient possibility that, like me, "the majority" are highly supportive of any serious assault on the self-regarding cancer of modern culture, and felt that this production hit far, far more than it missed. Oh, and on the last night, not a single person walked out.
Professor555 Sun Jan 20 -
This is obviously a play which divides audiences - and by divides I mean that the vast majority can't stand it and a few hold it up as a masterpiece of modern theatre. As far as it being a masterpiece goes: will this play still be read and performed in 50 plus years? Probably not. Although if Crimp is to be believed by that point we'll all be eating chicken sandwiches in sterile bubbles, so maybe that's a moot point anyway.
Agree totally with the reviewers that the first scene - a stilted family Christmas dinner, interrupted by the arrival of the mysterious Uncle Bob, who proceeds to tell them how much his wife hates them all - is the sort of thing that could have been side splittingly brilliant, in the hands of a different play write.
The second act, where the cast all assemble in a game show format, to reel through the five essential truths of modern life, in what I'd assume is meant to be a crushing critique of our modern culture of the individual. There are some genuinely funny moments. That said, most of the parts which are presumably meant to be 'shocking' - such as having sharp-tongued Granny talking about her genitals - are actually pretty cheap, and about as shallow as the society that Crimp is satiring.
And there lies my biggest problem with this play. This is a play that seeks to harrow and terrify, as the best satire does, through comedy, our modern culture of the individual. How hypocritical and dysfunctional the middle-class family actually is. OK, fair enough, and there are many plays that do this absolutely brilliantly. Of course, the genius is that if anyone walks out the theatre saying 'that was appalling' - anyone else can raise a knowing eyebrow and just say that they are obviously just too middle class and hypocritical to 'get it'. The ultimate irony though is surely that this production is entirely dependent upon an audience that are going to be altogether too polite to just walk out halfway through (although a fair few did), and a presumably enormous budget (justifiably spent on an extraordinary set).
I actually preferred the third act, almost as a stand alone piece - it is shadowed by a desperate feeling of sterility and loneliness. But I know that by that point, most people had just had enough.
Oh, the songs. Well, if that was meant to be a comment on our X-factor culture, then bravo, because they produced exactly the same effect on me (i.e. desire to turn it off and walk out the room). Unfortunately neither option was available at the time.
In fairness, I have been thinking about the play a lot since. Not always in the most flattering of terms, but still.
Lastly, if anyone has any insider knowledge on how the cast workshopped/ rehearsed the middle scene, I'd be fascinated, because it seemed that they were speaking in quite a random order, and occasionally two people would start together - and in the script, it's not specified who speaks when.Eleanor Fri Jan 11Rated as: 2/5 -
I agree with Max (13/12). Fantastic cast, brilliant delivery, funny, tragic. What else could you want.
Ps I always book an aisle, and always leave interval or not if I hate something, and I didn't even consider it....la la Sat Jan 5Rated as: 4/5 -
Whilst not totally unenjoyable, and yes there are some very funny bits, it is however utter bollocks. Lots of walk outs even though there isn't an interval. Not a bad start, and some very interesting themes, totally undermined by trying far too hard to be clever. Cast acted their hearts out, suspiciously self aware that we all were witnessing the Emporers New Clothes in 3 scenes. Just awful.
To the other reviewers who seem to think that just because it's Martin Crimp (and yes I accept he's generally great), it must be fabulous: get over yourselves. Everyone has their off days. Enjoy it, sure, but don't pretend it's extraordinary theatre that only the intellectually superior can appreciate. I'll enjoy the occasional big mac, and watch X-factor, but that doesn't mean they're both not complete crap.Damon Wed Dec 19 2012Rated as: 1/5 -
This is lazy, unfinished writing - and boring as a result. It's very telling that the only positive reviews below are in the 'if you don't like it then you don't understand it' line. Some plays are just bad, and this one irredeemably so.
Matt Wed Dec 19 2012Rated as: 1/5 -
Very promising start swiftly deteriorated into obscene self-indulgence. If this is a satire then the joke is certainly on the audience. It is neither shocking not titillating to hear the repetition of the names of sexual organs and various expletives; it is pathetic. I can't understand the critics falling over themselves to give the play three/four stars. Surely this would never have been produced in a million years were it not for the cachet Crimp's name has in the theatrical world.
Tobias Tue Dec 18 2012Rated as: 1/5 -
this is what theatre should be brilliant but not for the musical/coward west end lovers this is hard core and best thing I have seen this year
amanda Tue Dec 18 2012Rated as: 5/5 -
Woefully tedious drivel. Those pretentious types who are praising it and affording it any merit are like the fawning courtiers in an Andersen fairytale, for this Emperor certainly had no clothes.
Dan Tue Dec 18 2012Rated as: 1/5 -
The play is a masterpiece, simple as that. Martin Crimp is the only playwright currently working in the UK, apart possibly from Caryl Churchill, who can stand comparison with recent greats such as Pinter and Beckett, by virtue of formal and linguistic inventiveness, and philosophic pertinence to the wretched times we're living in. Ignore most of the feeble-minded gibberish in these comments, and go and see.

Singapore Badminton ramp up talent search
(I'm glad that the SBA is widening its net to trap more talented youngters to provide a bigger base for the National Team selection ultimately.)
Coach Liu confident a star will emerge from the National Intermediate Squad
by Low Lin Fhoong
04:45 AM Sep 08, 2011
SINGAPORE - The Singapore Badminton Association (SBA) are ploughing an additional S$100,000 into their newly-formed National Intermediate Squad (NIS), boosting their yearly kitty to S$300,000 in their bid to bring back the Republic's golden years.
Launched on May 30 with an initial batch of 19 shuttlers aged 12 to 16, the group will be expanded to 29 as the association lob for medals at the 2014 Nanjing Youth Olympics and the Summer Games in Rio two years later.
Trials will be conducted next month to pick another 10, with invitations sent to badminton coaches to nominate up to two shuttlers each to battle for places in the squad.
SBA staff and coaches will also be out talent-spotting at the ongoing Kason Age Group Badminton (Invitational) Tournament at the Chinese Swimming Club.
Said SBA chief executive officer Bobby Lee: "We hope our next generation of badminton stars will come from the NIS. Our next Youth Olympics representative will definitely be from this group as we will be investing between S$10,000 and S$15,000 annually in each player for overseas competitions, facility rental, training and coaches."
The sentiment was echoed by coach Liu Qingdong: "There will definitely be one - in the next four years a good player will come out from this batch. My hope is for them to get better in the next few years and earn a place in Team 1 with the seniors."
The youngsters spend some 20 hours weekly under the watchful eyes of coach Liu, who handled the Sichuan province women's team prior to the Singapore appointment, as well as former Singapore internationals Jiang Yanmei and Liu Fan.
Plans are also underway to conduct nightly training sessions for NIS players at a new badminton facility along Geylang Lorong 23 called the Singapore Badminton Hall. Being built by events company Arina Hogan at a cost of S$2 million, the 2,500 sq m venue will house a 300-seat gallery, a gymnasium, a 30-bed hostel and 14 courts, six of which will be air-conditioned.
The public can book the courts after the hall's launch in the middle of next month, while the SBA will enjoy discounted rates. The national sports association also intend to host five of their annual age-group and national tournaments there starting next year.
Said Arina Hogan general manager Richard Tan: "We built this out of a love for badminton and named it Singapore Badminton Hall out of nostalgia for the old place (along Guillemard Road). We want these to be the best courts in Singapore in terms of experience and facility."

Wow, Singapore loves its badminton!
(If they run out of ideas where to put their badminton slush-fund, contact me first!)
So it seems the SBA is getting more serious. But the talented youths nowadays have many more options than badminton and many will be attracted to where the money is. And for now, getting a good degree seems the better option for the future.
Unless world badminton continues to increase the prize moneys and other benefits, it will take a long time for Singaporean youths to come onboard. But this is a commendable start by SBA in its continuing attempts to entice those who are interested in the game. Already our population is strinking, so will be the local talent pool with less babies being born each year.
As for slush-fund, it is very difficult to divest this in non-badminton activities. Singapore holds tight to its reserves and we even need the President's approval to use past reserves for emergencies.
if they have spotted Kevin Cordon, Kevin would have been World No.1 & Singaporean would have their champions!
I would put my kids into golf or where ever the money is. (for sports).
Singapore's Golden Years?
There was nothing outstanding with world badminton before World War II, with the West dominating the game and IBF located in England being the world badminton governing body as predecessor of the current BWF.
The All-England was then the unofficial world championship until 1977 when IBF launched its own official championships. No players from the East, particularly from Asia, took part until 1949 when Ooi Teik Hock of Malaya was soundly beaten by American Dave G. Freeman, 15–1, 15–6 in the MS final (I think Wong Peng Soon, who was first singles with the then Malaya contingent for the Thomas Cup was either injured or ill.) But Wong who was from Singapore, then part of Malaya, became the AE champion for three consecutive years from 1950-1952. Wong became champion again in 1955 when he beat compatriot Eddy Choong.
Malaysia (then known as Malaya) came into prominence because of the introduction of the first Thomas Cup in 1948/49. The donor of the TC, Sir George Alan Thomas of England was himself a great badminton player, having won 21 AE medals, four for Men's Singles. He mooted the idea of a team competition for men in 1940 but the event was postponed due to the outbreak of WW II. He was the co-founder of IBF in 1934 and was its president from 1934 to 1955.
In 1949, Malaya surprised all its Western opponents when it won the inaugural TC by beating first USA 6-3 and then, Denmark 8-1 in the final. Two players from Singapore who were in the victorious Malaya team were Wong Peng Soon and Ong Poh Lim.
That period perhaps could be considered as Singapore's golden years.
Singapore badminton was never in the limelight since then until the Manchester Commonwealth Games in 2002.
Li Li, who was talented scouted from China when she was barely 13 years old, brought glory to Singapore when she caused a major upset by beating England's Tracey Hallam in the women's singles final at the Games.
It was the first time Singapore had won a gold medal in Commonwealth Games badminton but Li Li retired prematurely before the Beijing Olympics 2008.
Singapore's women's badminton squad have benefited from the arrival of mainland Chinese players to take up residence in the country.
With Li's absence, we are left with Xing Aiying, Gu Juan and Fu Mingtian, who are good players but will have to fight for qualification to the London Olympics, let alone deliver medals.
Singapore also captured a silver in the mixed team in Manchester and won the Women's SEA Games gold medal in 2003 while Ronald Susilo won the Japan Open in 2004.
More recently, Yao Lei and Shinta Mulia Sari (originally from China and Indonesia respectively) won the Singapore Open WD last year and this year Fu Mingtian won the Vietnam GP WS title.
We don't expect our men to perform as well as our ladies.
So the golden years seem more elusive than previously.

Singapore's Golden Years
Oh, I've almost forgotten the contributions from:
Kendrick Lee Yen Hui
(World Junior Championship 2002 Runner-Up to Chen Jin)
and Xing Aiying
both of whom won the US Open 2004 in MS and WS respectively.
Last edited by Loh; 09-15-2011 at 12:04 AM.
And of course almost 28 years ago, Derek Wong's father, Wong Shoon Keat, captured the MS gold during the 1983 SEA Games (then known as the Southeast Asian Games, which in turn came after the inaugural South East Asian Peninsular Games (SEAP) in 1959.)
I believe Shoon Keat beat Icuk Sugiarto, Tommy's father, on that occasion.
That was the only SEA Games MS gold won by Singapore. Now will Derek Wong be able to repeat his father's feat in Palembang, Indonesia from Nov 11-25, assuming LCW is not playing? Or will Tommy be the man to emulate his father who won the gold three times in 1985, 1987 and 1989?

Comments about Quik Chair Quik Shade Commercial C100 Instant Canopy 10x10 - White:
Bought a Quik Shade 10 x 10 Weekender last year, first storm with 30 mph winds destroyed it. Contemplated buying another Quik Shade, but saw the Commercial 10 X 10 at Sports Authority and decided to take a chance. It is excellent. Much better design than the Weekender series, very sturdy and easy to setup and install. The only negative is the weight. HOWEVER, that is to be expected if you don't want it to blow away in a storm! I recommend getting a pull golf cart to transport. The larger wheels makes it a breeze!

Louisville rallies to defeat Wichita State, advance to NCAA tourney final
After a sluggish first half, the University of Louisville men's basketball team rallied to defeat underdog Wichita State University on Saturday night to advance to the NCAA title game.
The Shockers and Cardinals battled through a tight, low-scoring first half that ended with Wichita State going into the intermission with a slim 26-25 advantage.
Louisville's 72-68 win means that its head coach, Rick Pitino, still is in contention to win his second national championship -- the other coming in 1996, when he helmed the Cardinals' archrival, the University of Kentucky.
The game also ended Wichita State's remarkable tournament run. The No. 9 seed in the West region beat top-seed Gonzaga and then Ohio State to earn a spot in the Final Four.
Despite being a heavy underdog, the Shockers led for much of the game -- leading 47-35 with 13 minutes to go in the contest. But the Cardinals were able to chip away, before finally going ahead with about five minutes remaining.
Louisville, which won the national title in 1980 and 1986, will face the winner of Saturday night's other Final Four matchup -- between Syracuse University and the University of Michigan -- at the Georgia Dome.
The championship game will take place Monday night.
