One Life To Live Recaps
OLTL Week of October 18, 2010
After Hannah dropped his bullet necklace outside her house, James confronted her about why she has it. Hannah claimed that Cole found it and tossed it in the trash, so Hannah rescued it. She pointed out that James clearly wears it as a reminder of his dear, sweet Starr. Hannah left James with something to think about when she mentioned that James might win Starr's heart if he comes to her rescue. Meanwhile, Starr rolled a ball back-and-forth with baby Hope and realized that a hard-to-reach window might be their only form of escape. She tossed the baseball through the window and hoped that someone would find their SOS and follow her handwritten instructions to contact Todd.
Nate dropped by Todd's to bravely apologize for helping Dani escape Ross and putting her in this mess in the first place. Nate was relieved when Todd didn't toss him out and actually revealed that he'd briefly talked to Dani while Eli was on the phone with Blair. Todd noted that he wished he'd been able to talk to Starr, too.
After hearing that Ford may have knocked up Jessica, Clint showed up with a few goons at Ford's apartment. Clint helped himself to a beer from Ford's fridge as his men roughed up the "mongrel." Clint explained that his daughter and Brody are going to be married, and Ford better stay out of Jessica's life. To Ford's surprise, Clint announced that he can keep his job at the university, and James can keep his grant. Ford wondered what Clint was getting at and realized it has to do with his mother. Clint explained that he had his goons knock Ford around only in his torso so that Inez wouldn't see any marks on his pretty face. James arrived home to find his fitness-minded brother icing his abs and didn't think much of it, going on about his shady conversation with Hannah. He showed Ford the necklace and explained that Starr was wearing it right before her disappearance, which he now thinks Hannah might have been involved in.
At the hospital, Jessica and Brody anxiously prepared to go in for a DNA test to determine her baby's paternity. They agreed that no matter what the outcome is, they'll still marry and raise lots of babies together. They went in for Jess's checkup and told Dr. Wright that they want to have the test done today. Clint phoned Jessica to let her know that Ford won't be a problem.
Vivian comforted Shaun over his brother's medical condition, unaware that Eli was hovering over Greg talking about how Greg screwed up his plan. He dripped something mysterious into Greg's IV and told the doc he wouldn't feel it at all. Just as he was finishing, Shaun came in. Before Shaun could overpower Eli, the villain clocked him over the head and ran off. Back at the warehouse, Dani came upon her mother in restraints and cried with joy upon seeing her alive (kudos to portrayer Kelley Missal, who made this recapper tear up!). "It was all a lie," Téa assured her weepy daughter, who swore they'd never be apart again. They talked about how Eli is totally insane, and Téa told Dani what she knew of Eli's bizarre plan to fake her death. Just as they were plotting their escape, Eli returned to the warehouse and found them together.
Viki stopped by Dorian's to see how she's handling Starr's kidnapping, but the anxious mayor was quick to reject her rival's sympathy. Dorian revealed that Echo had been there that morning snapping pics of her in an emotional state. Viki and Dorian argued about Echo's past "friendship" with Dorian and how much Dorian enjoyed seeing Echo get between Viki and Clint. Dorian warned Viki that Echo may be after her husband this time, too, but she'll make sure Echo doesn't get her claws into Charlie. Viki revealed Rex's finding that Echo got a speeding ticket in Llanview a year after she was ordered by a judge to leave. Dorian was curious, but more concerned about the reason for Echo's current stay. Before leaving, Viki urged Dorian to call on her if she needs anything where Starr and Hope are concerned.
At the Buenos Dias, Rex caught up Gigi on his investigation of Echo, noting that she'd skipped out on her hotel bill at the Minuteman Hotel. Cristian stopped by their table to talk to Gigi about an art project and noted that Layla is coming to town that week for a visit. Rex approached Clint at his table to inquire about his affair with Echo DiSavoy. "What happened between me and Echo is none of your business," Clint snapped. Rex managed to get Clint's ear when he mentioned that Echo had been through Llanview once more after Clint and Viki ran her out of town in 1983. Meanwhile, Gigi urged Cristian to go to Paris and reconnect with Layla after he learned that she had to postpone her trip because of a work conflict.
Echo checked into the Angel Square Hotel as Roxy showed her around. When Roxy asked for a deposit, Echo distracted her by commenting on Roxy's "excellent bone structure" and got her to waive the deposit by offering a photo shoot. Echo revealed that she used to be a photographer for The Banner and that she and Viki go way back, as do her and Charlie. Roxy talked a bit about Charlie's troubles, and Echo was both surprised and disappointed to hear that Charlie had a son. At Llanfair, Charlie happened to be speaking with Brody about the loss of Jared, and they ended up commiserating over the possibility that Ford may be the father of Jessica's baby.
Still trapped by Hannah, Starr was devastated to see that Hannah had found her SOS outside. Starr begged Hannah to let them out so she can get food and diapers for Hope, but Hannah swept the child up out of the crib and threatened to take Hope with her. Meanwhile, James shared his suspicion with Ford that Hannah hasn't really ever recovered her marbles and that she could have kidnapped Starr and Hope. Ultimately, Hannah left Hope with Starr, threatening to return once she figures out the next phase of her evil plan.
Once Echo managed to get rid of Roxy, she thought back to a box she'd had with her the first time she was in Llanview, then opened that box and looked inside. Roxy headed to the Buenos Dias and ran into Rex, who hightailed it to the hotel upon hearing that Echo's now staying in Angel Square. He snagged a key from behind the front desk and made his way into Echo's empty room, where he promptly began going through the drawers. Finally, Rex came upon the box and was shocked by what he found inside: a half-heart locket like the one worn by his mother, Lili. Meanwhile, Echo arrived at Llanfair, offered Charlie her condolences for the loss of his son and said there's something they need to talk about.
Echo offered her condolences to Charlie and said she understands the kind of loss he's experienced. She was on the verge of unburdening herself when Viki came home and told Echo to get out. "I'm sorry, Charlie," Echo stated cryptically. "Sorrier than you know." Afterward, Viki was really keyed-up about Echo's presence and assumed she was there just laying the groundwork to seduce "Chuckles." Charlie assured his jealous wife that he is not going to sleep with Echo.
At the Buenos Dias, Gigi showed Viki a sketch she'd done of the necklace that belonged to Rex's mother, just as Rex came across that very pendant in Echo's secret box. Rex snapped a pic of the necklace and was about to sneak out when Echo arrived and asked what he's doing in her room. He made up a story about fixing something in Eddie Johnny's room, but she told him he has the wrong suite. Echo rightly guessed that he's Roxy's "son" and introduced herself. Once he was gone, she retrieved her box and breathed a sigh of relief to see that its contents were safe and sound.
Cristian ran into Markko at the Buenos Dias and learned that Markko plans to stick around Llanview a little while longer, at least until Starr and Hope are found. Cris wondered if Markko just wants to be close to Langston. Rex found Gigi at the caf and showed her the picture he took of the necklace. Gigi was surprised, but thrilled that they have a new lead on Rex's parents. He revealed that he plans to go back to New Mexico to ask a few more questions about this necklace.
To Langston's surprise, Ford asked Hannah for another chance (although it was clearly part of his and James's "plan" to get some info out of Hannah). Hannah stepped out to take a call from Marty, while Ford explained to Langston that he's working an angle that could help Starr and just begged her to trust him on this. Langston agreed to play along, and pretended to argue with Ford when Hannah returned. Langston excused herself so Ford could continue his faux plea to make things right with Hannah, but Hannah ended up admitting that she wants to be with Cole. Ford reminded Hannah that she can never have Cole as long as Starr is in the picture. "What if she wasn't?" Hannah suggested. Before Ford could find out what Hannah was getting at, Cole showed up. Ford left. Langston went over to James and Ford's place to get more of an explanation on what these two are up to with Hannah. James made it clear that Cole cannot know about any of this.
Up in the attic, Starr was nearly delirious as she and Hope wasted away in captivity. She fell asleep and had a nightmare that Cole was making out with Hannah when he should be looking for her, then dreamt of James coming to her rescue. In the dream, Cole suddenly realized he was wrong and asked Starr to come with him. Before she could choose between James and Cole, she woke up to the sound of her crying baby. She picked up Hope and sang her a little lullaby. Elsewhere in Llanview, Echo put on the half-heart necklace while Charlie pleaded with Viki to stop focusing on Echo. Starr put Hope back to sleep and talked out loud as she wished for James or Cole to find them.
At the LPD, John worked out a map based on Eli's traced call. Natalie brought in her recent lab results and revealed that the ashes that supposedly belonged to Téa were indeed someone else's remains. At the warehouse, Téa and Dani commiserated over their predicament and Téa assured Dani that Todd was doing everything he could to track her down right now. Eli returned and Dani cringed as he tried to force-feed her. Téa asked Eli when this ordeal would be over, but he said not until he gets his money.
John arrived at Todd's just as Eli contacted him about the ransom exchange. John took over the call and listened to Eli's demands. After insisting on a getaway in addition to his cash, Eli made one final demand: Blair. Knowing it could save Dani and Starr (who they believed was with Eli), she agreed to see him, but Todd wasn't keen on the idea. Eli returned to his hostages and claimed that he's about to get what he wants, including Blair.
At the hospital, Vivian urged Shaun to take a break from waiting for Greg to wake up and go celebrate Destiny's birthday. Vivian was certain that Shaun had actually thwarted Eli's latest murder attempt on his brother, but later noticed that his pulse was weakening. Meanwhile, Destiny was having a hard time enjoying her birthday without her ailing brother. Shaun arrived at the party in time to see Destiny blew out her birthday candles. Destiny opened her gifts, and Nate caused a stir by giving her a pair of earrings that she loved after Darren and Matthew both gave her the same gift. Matthew followed Nate outside and yelled at him for crashing the party. Darren intervened before a fight could break out.
Back at the hospital, Greg started to flatline but Vivian was able to quickly stabilize him. She soon realized that Eli had put something in Greg's IV. Greg woke up and Vivian asked if she wanted to contact his family, but he wanted to talk to the cops first. Natalie responded to Viv's call and asked Greg if he has something to tell her about Téa. Greg confirmed her theory that Téa is alive and explained that Eli made him fake her death and was using a secret about Greg to blackmail him. Greg wanted to make things right with Téa and was disturbed to hear that she's at the clinic where she's supposed to be. Natalie had no choice but to place Greg under arrest. Vivian phoned Greg's family to let them know that Greg is awake. The Evans family came to see him and were shocked as Greg admitted that he did help Eli. Natalie rushed over to Todd's to tell John about Téa, but she was too late: John, Todd and Blair had just shown up at the warehouse to meet Eli.
Hannah disturbed Cole with her admission that she dreamt of Starr and Hope dying. Marty and Cole were forced to leave Hannah alone when they heard about the ransom exchange. Hannah was relieved, seeing as she had plenty of hostage-related things to do. Unbeknownst to Hannah, the house was being staked out by James, Ford and Langston. Ford started violently coughing, but continued to lie that he just lifted too much at the gym. Langston and James were highly concerned when they saw that Ford was coughing up blood. Langston convinced Ford to abandon their stakeout so that she could take him to the hospital. James, meanwhile, approached Hannah as she made her way out to the car.
To Téa's horror, Eli put a gag on Dani and dragged her out of the warehouse for "insurance" at his meeting with Todd, Blair and the cops. Eli phoned John and watched from the window, asking where his helicopter is. John claimed that there was one waiting a few blocks away. Eli demanded to speak with Blair and told her that the only way he'll release the kids is if she runs away with him. Blair looked horrified, but would have done anything at that moment for Starr, Dani and Hope. Natalie showed up and told Brody that she has to get to John right away, but he wouldn't let her near the warehouse. Marty's wheels started to spin when she overheard Brody say that he can't put Nat in harm's way because he cares too much about the baby.
Matthew and Clint had a BE powwow at the Buenos Dias, and Clint congratulated his nephew on preventing Rex from stealing "corporate secrets" a few weeks ago. When Matthew asked why Clint didn't turn Rex into the cops, Clint hinted that he had his reasons. Over at the counter, Cristian and Gigi talked about their art class over, but Cris was sad when Gigi mentioned one of Layla's favorite paintings.
At the hospital, Greg insisted to his parents that it's time Shaun and Destiny know "the truth," but Phylicia thought his secret should remain between the three of them. They continued to argue until Shaun and Destiny interrupted and said they're ready to hear the truth. Destiny couldn't believe her ears when Mr. and Mrs. Evans announced that they are not her parents. Shaun was totally confused, recalling that he was "around" when they had her (not around enough to notice his mom was never pregnant, apparently). Destiny broke down in tears and couldn't believe that she's adopted, but Phylicia explained that she's not adopted. "You are our flesh and blood," she swore. Now Shaun was really confused. Greg had been silent this whole time, but finally revealed, "Destiny, I am your father!"
Blair approached Eli as he exited the building with Dani and claimed she'd drive the getaway van to his helicopter. Eli raised a hand above Dani and showed everyone that he has a remote control that could trigger a huge explosion in the warehouse (which everyone believed contained Starr and Hope). Amidst the chaos caused by this announcement, Blair crept around the van and slipped into the warehouse through a grate. Expecting to find her daughter and granddaughter, she was speechless upon finding a bound-and-gagged Téa instead. After a brief, joyful reunion, Blair asked where Starr is, and Téa had to break it to Blair that she doesn't know. Outside, Eli let Dani go and jumped into the van, but was furious when he saw that Blair wasn't inside. John begged Eli to put down the remote, but Eli angrily mumbled something about Todd not being able to have his wife, either, and blew the roof off the place.

2003 TV Wrap-Up, What's in Store for 2004
That those two new shows both originate from corporate sibling Warner Bros. Animation demonstrates the programming synergy Time Warner can bring to its kid-directed efforts. Titans is a co-development, co-production deal with the media giants best known animation outlet, Cartoon Network. The series premiered as a high-profile original on the cable channel then enjoyed a second window on Kids WB!, a playoff pattern that was reversed for the new Scooby-Doo series. Its an arrangement thats worked well for both networks, with Hardman looking to co-develop at least one series a year with Cartoon Network from the WB Animation studio.
A second batch of KWB shows Yu-Gi-Oh!, Jackie Chan and others run on Cartoon Network via a sub-licensing arrangement. The advantages in cross-promotion and amortizing production costs are obvious, and while the shows air concurrently on both nets, all involved make sure its never in the same timeslot. In fact, according to Hardman, Cartoon Network counter-programs when theyre up against us in the exact same time periods. They go after a different audience and that way we dont cannibalize each other.
Of course, having a daily afternoon kids block that helps deliver kids to Saturday morning, while not having to deal with the FCCs weekly three-hour educational programming requirement (a responsibility assumed by the channels local affiliates) help as well. Kids WB! holds the number-one position over all its competition in attracting boys 6-11, tweens (9-14) and male tweens. In the smaller broadcast universe, KWB is also number one with kids 2-11, boys 2-11 and kids 6-11. The network dominates the Saturday morning top 10 show lists for boys 6-11, overall tweens, and claims the top 11 slots for male tweens.
Its a lofty perch, one that Hardman intends to hold onto in 04 with a barrage of new programming. This month has already seen the relaunch of Osamu Tezukas Astro Boy, the beloved grandfather of all anime series. Its an acquisition from Sony Pictures Entertainment Japan, and KWB plans to air 25 episodes in the shows first season. If kids can absorb the shows complex backstory (and if their parents and older animation fans tune in out of childhood nostalgia) Astro Boy could shape up as a major attention-getter.
The inner-city superhero series Static Shock also returned for its fourth season in January. Its a show we love here in Programming, says Hardman, and its grown every single year since it premiered in 2000. The channel also has 26 episodes of the within-the-Internet adventure, MegaMan: NT Warrior, on hand. Hardman enthuses that were going to have a lot of original programming in the first, second and third quarters this year. A 13-episode summertime CGI series is also in the works, along with a 90-minute live-action special (with some CGI elements) that may serve as the basis of a future series.
For those who automatically associate the WB shield with the slapstick comedy of the studios classic Looney Tunes, Hardman gently suggests they seek out those shorts on Cartoon Network and its spin-off Boomerang. He goes on to point out that KWB shows like ¡Mucha Lucha! and Jackie Chan Adventures all have tremendous comedy elements, but our core audience is boys 6-11 and high adventure is the type of programming that really appeals to them.
So its highly unlikely that Bugs and friends will ever be seen on Kids WB! again? I wouldnt say that at all. We continue to work with Warner Bros. on some of the classic franchises to see what we might bring back to our audience. We always have something like that in development and were always talking to kids about what would they like to see come back and how would they like to see it updated for them. You never know, we may just have something on the schedule in the fall. You never know.
When FOX TV bailed out of the childrens programming game in the fall of 2002, 4 Kids Entertainment took over the networks 8:00 am to noon Saturday morning block and renamed it the FOX BOX. In essence, 4 Kids runs the FOX BOX as a turnkey operation, paying a flat fee to FOX for the airtime, then acquires and schedules shows, selling the ad time and keeps the revenues it brings in. As a result, the FOX BOX has far different goals from its Kids WB! competition.

(Yahoo!) - Does Kim Kardashian need to do a better job of practicing what she preaches?
The pregnant reality star reportedly tweeted a photo of a diamond-encrusted gun – and then immediately took it down after many of her 17 million followers gave her grief … but not before some media outlets were able to get a grab of the image and the outrage it evoked.
"You have too much influence to be this blind and ignorant," wrote one commenter, according to ABC News. "Innocent children & people still die even if the gun is pretty." Added another, "When everyone is debating gun control, this is what you post – as if it's just a fun accessory?"
The post in question comes just weeks after Kardashian, 32, asked her fans to join her in signing a pledge to help reduce gun violence on the heels of the mass shooting in Newtown, Connecticut.
This isn't the first time Kardashian has shown an interest in firearms. In November – weeks before the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre – she posted a photo on Instagram of herself shooting a gun at a gun range with the caption "Bang bang." Previously, she uploaded a photo of a gun designed by Yves Saint Laurent in June … both times, without incident.

Olympic Sprinter, Bobsledder, Professional
While Lauryn had a stellar college career at the University of Miami, it wasn't until she became the 2004 NCAA Champion in the 100m with a time of 10.97 that she even thought about the Olympics. In 2004, Lauryn was not only the NCAA Champion, she also held the fastest legal-wind time by an American at 10.97, the second fastest time in the world that year. She was also named the 2004 Big East most outstanding track performer and honored as the 2004 Athlete of the Year by the Sports Council.
For Lauryn, 2004 was a major year. In addition to these accomplishments, Lauryn also competed in the Olympics. During her first season as a professional, Lauryn traveled to Athens for the 2004 Summer Olympic Games; at a time when track and field was desperately looking for a 'darling', she captured the Silver medal and hearts across the world.
Lauryn has proved herself on the world stage time after time, showing tremendous strength of character, which always put her in contention to win the major championships. Following her success in 2004-2005, she had a new challenge at the World Championships, in Helsinki. At Worlds, Lauryn showed what a tough competitor she truly is. Ignoring the cold and wet conditions, she took home a Gold medal, became World Champion and solidified her place at the top of her sport. In 2006, she secured Silver medals in both the World Indoor 60m and the U.S. Championships. However, hampered by injuries, her season was cut short and Lauryn had to overcome, perhaps, the biggest challenge yet: the road back!
While she has a reputation for being a fierce competitor, when meeting Lauryn off the track, this is certainly not how you would describe her. Her fresh-faced smile and personable nature are two of the things that have helped Lauryn become one of the most popular personalities in the sport today. Always taking time to talk to children and fans alike, Lauryn truly is a member of the new generation; a generation that seeks to reconnect the audience with the athletes.
After announcing her retirement from Track and Field in the summer of 2013, Lauryn still needed to satisfy her competitive spirit so she tried her hand at Bobsledding. In true Lauryn fashion, less than a week after touching a sled for the first time, she finished third at the U.S. National Push Championships in Calgary, Alberta. And so began her next Olympic journey!
In July 2013, a nagging injury left me unable to finish, what was likely to be, my final track season. I returned to the states feeling dejected. But, a fortuitous conversation with Lolo Jones, a hurdler known for joining the bobsled ranks in the midst of her track career, changed my mood. After our conversation, my interest was piqued and with stage 1 of the trials looming, I decided to hop on a plane to Calgary and give bobsledding a try. With just one training session under my belt and a bum leg, I managed to finish 3rd in the Push Championships and my bobsled adventure began.
Just to give you a little background, women compete in a two person sleigh. There is a driver and brake woman. I am vying for a position as a brake woman where my job is to push the sled with such power and speed that the momentum created will give a great driver that extra "push" needed to guide our sleigh down the track with precision at speeds of over 90 miles per hour.

As 3x time Olympian, Lauryn knows the hard work and dedication required to take bobsled to the next level and bring home a medal; she has a work ethic matched by few. From an early age, her parents stressed the importance of education and the message stuck. While succeeding on the track, Lauryn also succeeded and excelled in the classroom. She received her Bachelor of Science in Finance from the University of Miami in 2004, and even gave the commencement address at her own graduation. She also obtained a Florida Real Estate Sale Associate license in 2006. Additionally, during the 2008 Olympic year, while training full time to make the Olympic team, she also managed to simultaneously work on a Master of Business Administration degree, which she received from the University of Phoenix, AZ in 2009.
Recently, Lauryn was struck with a passion for empowering athletes with financial literacy and stability so she completed the course work for Certified Financial Planning and will soon take the exam for CFP certification. After Lauryn has brought home a 2014 Winter Olympic medal, she intends to work with Olympians and other athletes to improve their financial literacy and stability in an effort to continue making a difference in the sporting world.
Lauryn's wonderful story of hard work, dedication and perseverance will motivate and inspire people of all ages. If you would like Lauryn to speak at or attend an event at your school, business or organization, click here for more information.
Lauryn is a Saucony sponsored athlete and represents the brand in all her track competitions and appearances

VOORHEES, N.J. — It might have started as a suggestion within a tense Flyers locker room at some point after a Game 3 loss. And if it didn't, it should have.
It was thrown out for public consumption near the end of a three-minute short conference call Scott Hartnell accorded the media Friday, a statement about his broken top line that went like this: "I think we're all just kind of out of sorts with each other, and it's good to have a couple days off between each game to get refocused again."
Yes, it's time for all Flyers to restore their focus, as they take on the Devils tonight in Game 4 at Prudential Center. It is must-win in every way, other than mathematically.
That would include physically, mentally and ... emotionally, too?
"Maybe we have to find the same emotion as we did against Pittsburgh," Claude Giroux said Saturday. "That was a very emotional series. There were a lot of things going on in that series. The New Jersey Devils are more of a team that's going to sit back. It's not going to be as open as Pittsburgh, and we need to understand that."
If the Flyers don't know that yet, they should consider themselves lucky to still be in a position to change this series. If they didn't score in overtime of Game 1, they'd be looking at a 3-oh deficit going back to New Jersey. But then, if the Flyers had scored on one of two power plays they had in overtime of Game 3...
Funny how emotions and perceptions can shift so quickly.
"All the games we played against New Jersey (during the season) were pretty tight," Jagr said. "Even in these playoffs, with games not decided until the third period, two games go overtime; it's so close and anything can change in one good play."
But Jagr's mood swung slightly when assessing the way the Devils have played against his team, especially in the past two New Jersey victories.
"It's probably been tougher than everybody thought it was going to be," Jagr said. "We were confident after the series against Pittsburgh, but we realized it wasn't going to be easy. It's going to be very hard. They're pretty strong on the boards, they cycle the puck very well. They're stronger than I thought, that's for sure. I thought we were going to handle the boards better than what we have so far, but you never know. You just have to keep fighting."
Flyers coach Peter Laviolette decided to come to a Game 3 fight with some new forward looks. Jagr was dropped down to a line with Brayden Schenn, while Jakub Voracek went up top with Giroux and Hartnell.
Then Saturday in a practice at Skate Zone, James van Riemsdyk was working with Giroux and Wayne Simmonds. Not that it means anything.
"We don't have to show what's going to be the lines for the game; we're just trying new stuff and see how it works," Giroux said. But then some honest emotion washed over him: "We know a little bit how to play together, so hopefully it can spark up," he added.
One guy still stoked — but mostly with anger — is Danny Briere, who in reviewing the Flyers' losses the past two games said if his team "thought they were just going to let us win … we deserve to lose.
"We haven't played with enough emotion or passion," said Briere, indicating all of that was there in the first-round win over Pittsburgh. "That's something we need to find again. Every single playoff game should be played with the most passion and most emotion. It hasn't been there the last two games. You have to find something to get your heart ticking."
Whatever breathtaking new line looks the Flyers come up with, it likely won't involve their best defensive shadow, Sean Couturier. The leg injury he suffered in Game 3 kept him off the ice Saturday except for one two-minute turn of solo skating.
If he's out, it's a big loss for the Flyers. But then, they saw the Devils win Game 2 by 4-1 without the services of Ilya Kovalchuk.
Emotions shift, series change...
"I've been on teams where (another) team totally dominated the first three or four games, then the series changed," Jagr said. "I think they've been a little bit stronger than us, maybe a little bit faster. But you just never know. We should have played a lot better than we did the last three games, that's for sure. But give them credit, too. They don't give you much, but you never know. It can change like that."
With that and a snap of the fingers, Jagr had made his point.
All that's left is for him and his tight teammates to prove it to themselves.

Products: how green our offering already is
Numerous LEONI business units already offer environmentally-friendly products and are equipping ecological applications with them. Our portfolio is steadily growing thanks to our own new developments and additional application opportunities.
In working on the environmental technology markets LEONI is benefiting from the complementary collaboration between its two business divisions: to cover the high-potential alternative drive technology segment we set up our interdivisional Business Unit Electromobility in 2010. Together with customers in the automotive and energy industries as well as with outside partners the unit is working on helping emission-free mobility to make a breakthrough – with innovative technologies and solutions along the entire process chain, i.e. for applications in vehicles with electric, hybrid as well as fuel cell power and charging infrastructure. For the latter LEONI offers charging cables, cables for the internal wiring of electric charging stations as well as cordsets with country-specific approvals.
A full overview of our portfolio covering alternative drive technology is to be found in our brochure Electromobility – Thinking in green technologies
In the automotive sector, we have also made progress in lightweight construction: the use of alternative conductor materials – which include aluminium, bronze (CuSn), copper-clad steel (CCS), copper-clad aluminium (CCA) as well as alloys like copper-silver (CuAg) and copper-magnesium (CuMg) – can reduce cable weight by more than 60 percent compared with conventional copper conductors.
With a focus on the whole wiring system, we are – with the help of the Toodedis development tool – optimising its architecture by ascertaining the electrical demand within the cable harness and consequently the most favourable conductor cross section. This has shown potential for weight saving by up to 30 percent.
We also manufacture the following environmentally-friendly products, among others:
- Installation cables for photovoltaic power plants
- Flat wires for solar modules
- Fiber optic cables for solar thermal plants
- Lightning protection systems, control and power supply cables for wind turbines
- High voltage jumpers, rolling stock jumper systems and internal wiring for trains
- Supply and control cables for hydroelectric power plants
- Drive cables for highly efficient electric motors
- Wiring for energy-efficient household appliances
- Halogen-free cordsets (for example LEONI EcoSense)

Floor Mats & Liners

The Importance of Installing Car Floor Mats and Liners
Without having car floor mats or liners installed in your car or truck, it may be difficult keeping your vehicle's floors clean. If you find that you have no time to wash your car, the value of your vehicle could be at risk if you are not able to properly protect your vehicle. By keeping your floors unprotected, you will be risking the condition of your vehicle's floors with dust, mud, oil, grease and grime. This is why you need to highly consider investing in car floor mats or liners as soon as possible once you purchase your car.Many individuals become confused when they have the choice between car floor mats and car floor liners. The primary difference between these two types of floor protection is that car floor mats are designed to only cover certain areas of the interior floor. On the other hand, car floor liners cover every inch of your interior floors so that the highest level of protection is ensured. Both types of floor protection are great for protecting your floors from accidental spills, melted snow, mud and other debris.
Installing floor mats to your vehicle is one of the best investments that you can make in order to keep the interior of your vehicle clean. A floor mat will be your first line of defense against accidental spills, mud and melted snow. Floor mats are useful in keeping your vehicle free from dirt that may be carried in by the passengers' shoes. With floor mats installed, cleaning the interior of your vehicle should be simple as they are easily removable and do not require much effort to clean. Being able to install floor protection to your vehicle should be simple, but it still comes as a surprise as many individuals disregard the importance of obtaining floor mats that fit. Although there are universal floor mats available, the highest level of protection will come from a custom-fit floor mat. A custom-fit floor mat will ensure the best protection from the daily wear and tear that your interior will encounter. Ideally, the car floor mats that you purchase should be of high quality as your vehicle is an investment worth protecting.
Whether you choose to purchase a new or used vehicle, you will most likely be looking for ways in which you may be able to improve your new car. Floor liners are great additions to have for your vehicle as they will prolong the life of your interior's carpets. A car floor liner works as an effective barrier between the carpet and the dirt that may be under your shoes. Unprotected floors are sure to collect dust, grime, mud, road salt and other debris and the staining will ultimately ruin the interior of your vehicle. In fact, if the vehicle's floors become too damaged, you may be at risk of lowering the value of your vehicle. As floor liners are designed to cover the entire floor area of your vehicle's interior, you must be sure to get a precise fit. When installing floor liners, they are securely fastened onto the carpets of your vehicle's cabin. These liners will be able to keep the interior environs of the vehicle looking new. You can also expect floor liners to be able to withstand extreme weather conditions as they are quite durable and flexible. When choosing a floor liner, be sure that you select one that is of high quality rubber or other durable materials that are guaranteed to not crack or break. When you want the most effective protection for your vehicle's floors, the fit of the mats or liners will affect how much protection that they are able to offer your vehicle's carpets. The last thing that you want to happen is to purchase floor mats that do not fit your vehicle's floors properly. If the mats do not fit properly, they may shift and cover your driving pedals. It is best to choose a set of floor mats that have solid edges or raised lips that will contain spills within the mat or liner.
When you purchase a vehicle, it is vital to understand the importance of maintaining the entire vehicle. With this being said, it is still surprising that many vehicle owners forget to keep their interior maintained. Water, mud, salt and sand are great threats to the pristine condition of your vehicle's interior carpets. By installing floor mats or floor liners, you will be protecting your vehicle's floors from daily wear and tear.

By T.L. Stanley

Even though beloved octogenarian actor Larry Hagman died late last year, his iconic character J.R. Ewing will be back in trademark form for the second season of TNT's reboot of "Dallas."
With bushy eyebrows twitching, J.R. will plot his way through seven episodes with a characteristic evil smile on his face and a greedy scheme up his sleeve. And when he departs the show — an unspecified untimely death is planned to reflect the real-life passing and to celebrate a life fully lived — he'll leave behind a mighty mess.
"This is a character who will have the last laugh, no matter what," said Cynthia Cidre, the show's executive producer. "What you'll see unfold will be J.R.'s masterpiece."
For a show that specializes in melodramatic cliffhangers, secret identities, elaborate lies and family backbiting, it's tough to imagine what that will entail. But Cidre and others connected to the series said they owed Hagman a Texas-sized finale.
"Our mission is to give Larry Hagman and J.R. a proper send-off," while being careful to avoid the overly sentimental or maudlin, which wouldn't fit either the irrepressible real man or the devilish fictional oil tycoon, Cidre said.
Gone are the days when TV shows ignored an actor's departure by simply replacing him or her with a new face, said series costar Patrick Duffy. That meant addressing Hagman's unexpected death straight on and writing it into the story, a task Duffy said he didn't envy.
"We'll be dealing with the situation in a really artistically sensitive, correct way," Duffy said from the set in Dallas. "In lesser hands — more commercial hands, if you will — my fear is that it might not have been done nearly so well."
Hagman had filmed the first seven episodes of the cable hit's second season when he died Nov. 23 at a Dallas hospital. Cidre and her team had little time to re-work the rest of the 15-episode season, which launches Monday, but were able to salvage "close to 80 or 90%" of the story arcs they'd already mapped out.
While grieving the loss, Cidre and her writers figured out how J.R. would die (tragically) and how he'd be remembered (respectfully, but with a wink). The character's memorial service, filmed at the exclusive Petroleum Club atop the Chase building in downtown Dallas, will run March 11.
Faces from the series' past, including Charlene Tilton (Lucy Ewing), Ken Kercheval (Cliff Barnes), Ted Shackelford (Gary Ewing), Deborah Shelton (Mandy Winger) and Steve Kanaly (Ray Krebbs), will be on hand for the funeral.
Going forward, the cast, crew and network will deal with the larger issue of how to carry on without one of the best-known characters in all of television. Hagman's charismatic bad boy J.R. helped make the drama an out-of-the-gate hit; it scored an average 4.5 million viewers in its initial summer run, according to Nielsen.
It's not unprecedented for a show to continue in the absence of one of its significant players, according to TV historian Tim Brooks, though some have collapsed without their star.
Actor and comedian Redd Foxx's last show, "The Royal Family," ended not long after the star died in the early '90s, despite the addition of then-hot sitcom actress Jackée.
But there are more examples of series that stayed on the air and thrived after sudden deaths, such as "The Sopranos," which lost the mafia mom played by Nancy Marchand early in its successful six-season run.
ABC's comedy "8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter" continued for two more years after the death of star John Ritter from a heart attack. The series' supporting cast was strong, Brooks said, with Katey Sagal, James Garner and Kaley Cuoco, and the show dealt sensitively with the patriarch's death and the family's struggle in the wake of it.
Even the original version of "Dallas" faced the death of a star, Jim Davis, who'd originated the role of Jock Ewing when the show launched in 1978. As Davis' health declined several years later, the writers created stories that had Jock Ewing traveling off-camera, out of the country on business. Davis died in 1981, and the following season, Jock Ewing died in a helicopter crash.
It was once common for actors on hit shows to be replaced without explanation so the character and series could keep going. It infamously happened on the classic comedy "Bewitched," with Dick Sargent stepping in for an ailing Dick York as harried husband Darrin Stephens.
That was never an option for the new version of "Dallas," or likely for any show today that wants to keep its audience engaged. Suspension of disbelief goes only so far, after all, in a well-informed fan-obsessed environment.
J.R.'s exit from "Dallas" could be a ratings boon for the already popular series and, Brooks said, could inject some new vigor into the show and draw in younger audiences.
"It's not 'The J.R. Show,' anyway, it's 'Dallas,'" Brooks said. "If the death is handled well, it can fuel the longevity of the show."
And so no one forgets Hagman, though it's unlikely they would, the late star's Airstream trailer remains intact on the set and his name is still first on the call sheet.
"He has to be there — it's the right thing to do," said Duffy, who was close friends with Hagman for more than three decades. "'Dallas' is the show that Larry built."

Chart House Restaurant - Tower of the Americas
Online Reservations
The view is breath taking. Service was great and so was the food. My girlfriend and I really enjoyed it and would highly recommend it. Very nice for a romantic evening out. Ask for a window seat..
San Antonio has a ton of fantastic restaurants, but Chart House has to be among the best. The view is incredible from the top of the tower and is complimented by the food nicely.
I remember going to the Tower of The Americas when I was a child with my parents. It was a special treat and remember how wonderful the view was, especially as the sun started to set and the city lights began to glow. 40 years later, my husband and I went back to dine in the revolving restaurant. It was exactly how I remembered it. The smoked salmon was excellent.
I usually dine at Texas land& cattle, salt&grass,papadeux,Olive Garden, red lobster,Texas Roadhouse, the ranch, churrasqueria restaurant very fine dining , i ve been treated with patience, I've never been rushed before, I felt rushed, I felt the waiter didnt understand that it was my firs time dining there, so therefore i needed time to look around read the menus, be explained what the restaurant had available, lighting was not good, my husband is blind from one of his eyes, & i have blurry vision,so,, i couldn't see the menu very clearly, but other then that everything was great!
The veiw is great,you can see the the whole city, so if your scared of hights then this may not be for you.. Seered scallops and the lobster bisque are excellant, even though they made a mistake they went way beyond to make it right, It is a little on the high end so remember if your on a budget...
I had been at the restaurant in 1973 and the facility had not changed through the years. This visit was the first time for my wife and she was totally impressed with the experience.
The views are wonderful, the restaurant it self looks outdated, we were expecting something better for the pricing on the menu, food had freezer taste to it. Very disappointed on the quality of food. The service was great.
One of the best dining experiences I have ever had! Great view, good service, and awesome food! Be sure to try the lobster bisque and clam chowder. The seafood entrees were fresh and seasoned perfectly! Also be sure to pair your meal with the mango mojito!
It has always been a vacation I look forward to when visiting San Antonio. However it was recently that I found this exotic yet romantic charter house restaurant that I knew I had to absolutely visit. My experience at the charter house restaurant was devine and one that will be shared with all of my family and friends. I am now looking forward in adding the charter house restaurant as an absolute must ok my todo list when visiting San Antonio.
Our dining experience was superb. Our waiter Hector took great care of us and accommodated our rush schedule by bringing out our order within the hour so that we can make it to our Spurs basketball game. He provided us with recommendations that were great choices we do not regret making. The ambiance was perfectly suited for the occasion, romantic birthday dinner. The staff are friendly and attentive. We were seated right away. Food was just as good as the ChartHouse in Weehawken, NJ if not better! I would definitely recommend Chart House at Tower of Americas to my friends and family. Thank you for helping make our special occasion even more special! :)
Beautiful view of San Antonio. Lots of time to enjoy it. Most of the food was just okay, but the spinach salad was great and so was the chocolate lava cake. I would eat there again because the view and atmosphere is so nice.
The food was outstanding (I had the prime rib), the view was amazing and the staff was kind and attentive.
Chart House San Antonio was definitely the highlight of our trip. It is not to be missed. Service was EXCEPTIONAL!! View was nothing short of spectacular and customer service from the moment you walk in until the moment you leave - superb! Skip the Riverwalk and head to the ChartHouse, Hemisfair Park and the Tower of the Americas.
My husband and I went there for our three year anniversary the food was exquisite and the service was outstanding. It was our best anniversary dinners so far. The lighting was very romantic and we were placed in a corner booth that highlighted the experience of our night. Thanks again!!
It's interesting how history repeats itself. My wife and I are both in real estate in Austin; thirty years ago we put off our honeymoon because of real estate brokerage obligations, and we opted for a few days in San Antonio instead. It was ironic that our 30th Anniversary trip got postponed for the same reasons, so appropriately we opted for San Antonio. We had to once again have dinner at the Tower of the Americas as well - and the experience was just as thoroughly enjoyable as it was years before! Excellent food, service and atmosphere combined to make another wonderful memory.
Great meal, appetizers and service! I highly recommend you go! The quail is excellent and the lobster bisque is rich, different, exotic..but VERY good. If you like steak, the teriyaki medallions are a good value.
We had a wonderful evening at the Tower of Americas Chart House restaurant. We were celebrating our granddaughter's 5th birthday. We were greeted with a special welcome to the birthday girl and surprised to see the message on the menu. They were even able to accommodate a special menu request. We were able to view the city from the observation deck and from our booth in the restaurant. It was a magical night for the birthday girl and her parents and grandparents.
As usual, the Chart House was a great experience, with one exception: too darn chilly.
Went here for a romantic date! It was awesome! The food was amazing, really tasty and flavorful. The view was amazing and service was great!
Went here to celebrate our anniversary. We were running late due to traffic, but we called the restaurant & they held our table. Our waiter made some great suggestions, but he was very busy so we didn't see him much. The view in the evening was spectacular. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for special occasions.
Awesome set up for dinner area. Food was super yummy, and are waitress was on point with everything!!!! Would def recommend this place to someone else.
While we have had romantic "date" nights at Chart House, my six year old actually wanted to have her birthday dinner there. The atmosphere was great for the occasion and the staff was fantastic. Of course, the food was outstanding.
I made a reservation a couple months in advance to celebrate out first anniversary. Everything was perfect. Our waitress was so friendly and made great suggestions. The food was excellent with good sized portions. I would definitely come back. View was amazing.
We showed up late to our reservation and still received a good table. The food was of great quality and taste and the service was very quick. A great place to go on a date. The view is fantastic and the price of the meal after having wine the select entrees and appetizers and dessert was about 60 dollars per person wich coming from NYC is a very good price for the quality and service received.
Our food was fabulous, our servers Justin and Ryan even better. Our only slight suggestion was the hostess was going to put us at Table when there were plenty of booths available. So when we requested a booth we had another wait.
We're retired on a fixed income but had gift cards from our children. The food was the prices I expected but we each ordered a whiskey sour that seemed to have little whiskey & they were $10 each. Had I known that we would have opted for a glass of wine which was less expensive or a side salad. On a Tuesday at 6:30 I expected to at least have happy hour prices on drinks & a break on the parking. ($8). If you are not on a limited budget I recommend you to go especially in the summer when you have a view of the city until later at night. And don't miss the appetizer - Crab, Shrimp & Vegetable Fritters were wonderful.
Charthouse is a excellent place to go especially if you are celebrating a special moment in your life like your boyfriend or partner's birthday, holidays, New Years Eve and valentine's day. I went to celebrate my boyfriends birthday this past Tuesday which was Nov 19th, I plan to be going back here again real soon and may surprise him for valentines as well. Service was excellent, food was great and quick and the molten lava cake is so good, next time I go back I will want to meet the chef that made it as it really made a impression on me since I am going to St Philip's College in San Antonio for my Associates Of Applied Science Degree in Baking & Pastry.
Overall was a great experience in downtown dining. Very romantic. Would not order crab cakes again as they tasted like a horse stall.
I did find the that it was very dark. We had a hard time seeing the menu.
My husband and I went to the Tower for his birthday dinner. It was certainly a great choice.
We and a special couple enjoyed being pampered. Remembering the old times and enjoying the present. It was an awesome experience for all of us.
The view was fabulous and our booth at the window was cozy. The service was unbeatable. The ginger rita was a delicious, refreshing drink. The prime rib was excellent, melt in your mouth. The crab stuffed shrimp was OK.
Ryan was an awesome server and made our dining experience very fun. The food was outstanding and although it is expensive, it is worth the dining experience. Jose, the manager, was extremely detailed...right down to ensuring that your server offers you fresh ground pepper.
i TOOK MY WIFE THERE FOR OUR 20TH ANNIVERSARY. iT WAS GREAT, FOOD WAS GOOD SERVICE WAS EVEN BETTER CANT WAIT TO GO BACK THANKS
We have been to the chart house several times and have always had a great time. The Chilean sea bass dish is incredible!
We had 11am reservations and arrived a bit early for LUNCH on Saturday. We were seated in Zachary's area at a window table, and received friendly, attentive service. We noticed that there is NO LUNCH MENU PROVIDED OR AVAILABLE...So we ordered a 16oz ribeye to share, since our preferred choice of prime rib is not available until 4pm? The ribeye was ordered medium RARE, which Zachary explained is a warm red center. It arrived medium well with a barely pink center, so that was very disappointing for the $35 price. We relaxed and took our time, then ordered Hot Lava Cake for dessert. And although the food was mediocre, we loved the scenic view and novelty of the moving room. We will return.
Awesome food with gorgeous view from the tower top.
Everything was spectacular - the food, the view, the service.
What a magnificent view. Go just a bit before sunset and find a place at the bar so you can stay still while watching the sunset. Then go down to your table and revolve while watching the pretty lights come on all over San Antonio, while enjoying some delightful food. The servings are generous.
Views are so beautiful in December with all the Christmas lights up. Dining at sunset is something you don't want to miss. We will come back. Just make sure you get there with plenty of time. The wait for elevator ride can be long.
The food at Chart House is amazing! We had the prime rib, scallops, and lava cake. The service is definitely lacking; we were forgot as soon as we sat down and a random waiter eventually ended up serving us, slowly. Maybe it's because the tables rotate assertions the restaurant, which is awesome! We would go back, but with lower expectations.
We were a group of 9 and our experience was fabulous!!! Would do it again!!!
This was our aniversary and wanted it to.be special. It was so soWas
The thing that sets this chart house apart is the view. We got there as the sun was setting and the scenery was absolutely beautiful. The service was friendly and prompt, but missing the wow factor. The food tasted great, but was honestly vastly overpriced. Only two dessert options was disappointing and they will give the spiel that you have to order dessert at the same time you order dinner so it can be prepared just for you. Then why was the chocolate not warm when it was served? The view is the reason to go here. Lower your expectations for the cuisine and expect to pay double, and you'll enjoy your experience.
Love the entire atmosphere and the food is impeccable!
The service we recieved was outstanding! I felt the charm that was appointed to us was genuine. It was also nice that when I reserved for the night I was asked if it was for a special occasion I knew then I was in good hands!
Our first date was at the Tower 41 years ago. Went back this weekend and had a absolutely fantastic meal!
The food was very good. It was so great to eat so high above San Antonio and have the place revolve while you ate. Gave you a chance to see the whole city from that high up!!
This restaurant is our favorite in San Antonio. There is no way we can come and visit here and not go up the tower to enjoy a fantastic dinner, with the sun setting. This time was excellent too. I really appreciate the wine list and the quality if the food. Can't wait to come back next time.
As good as the food, view and wine was, the best thing about this restaurant was the service. Our server and hostesses, and kitchen staff/chef were the best. I called and had a special request. I don't know how they were able to get this accomplished, but it went off perfectly.

1 Jaguar S-Type's For Sale
1967 Jaguar S Type Mark X Saloon Import Classic$17,500 - CA - 1967 1967 Jaguar S Type Luxury Vintage Sedan In Mint Uncompromising Condition Price Reduction $17500 or best offer.... |
About S-Type
The Jaguar S-Type marque has been applied to two distinct ranges of vehicles from this British manufacturer over the years, with many decades separating the two despite their notable ideological similarities.
The first S-Type emerged in 1963 when Jaguar was looking to revise its Mark 2 design in order to improve it from both the point of view of technology and luxury.
The S-Type fitted into the range between the aforementioned Mark 2 and the high end Mark X, giving mid range buyers an executive saloon to consider.
To keep things simple, Jaguar retained the use of existing 3.4 litre and 3.8 litre engines which it had already put into service in other models.
While many elements of the S-Type were carried over from the Mark 2, it did get the Mark X's independent rear suspension which added an extra degree of comfort and luxury to the ride quality.
In addition the steering got an overhaul and the styling of the S-Type was given its own unique aspects to keep it distinct from its stable mates.
The original S-Type survived until 1968, at which point it was superseded by the incoming Jaguar XJ6.
In the late 1990s Jaguar decided that it would revisit the S-Type with a modern model which would nevertheless retain elements of its retro styling.
The result was the name-sharing S-Type, which was put on sale in 1999. With engines ranging in size from 2.5 litres to 4.2 litres, there was plenty of choice to fit a variety of budgets.
In 2003 the S-Type received a number of updates, both aesthetic and technical. This included a new 6 speed automatic gearbox and a 3.0 litre V6 engine which could output 235bhp, an increase of 25hp over its predecessor.
Designers also attempted to bring the 2003 S-Type in line with what people expected from the styling of a Jaguar, which meant that features including a grille at the front were made a core part of the car.
The S-Type remained in production until 2008, at which point it was shown the door in favour of the more modern XF. However, like its namesake, it remains a popular car amongst enthusiasts.

I still can't believe I'm doing this. Oh well. If ya can't laugh at your self than others will right?
The other day we were talking in the studio about "Elf On the Shelf" and how producer Tawsha is the QUEEN of this. It got me thinking that I would love to do something festive like this for Christmas, but I have no kids and I'm not thinking that my furry daughter would appreciate an Elf that pops up in random spots in my apartment. P!nk would probably bark and then eat him.
So I came up with the single girl's version of "Elf On The Shelf".
Immediately after the words came out of my mouth I was like "Aaaaaaw *#@%! what did I just get myself into?!?" I'm ok with being funny/sexy/edgy and I twerk with the best of them but I'm no Miley. No way are my boobs going anywhere near a wrecking ball!
Just when I was about to run for the axe this idea and run for the hills we had a chick call in and suggest that I should do it to continue breast cancer awareness past October. Hmmmmmmmm....
The one you see above is from yesterday and keeping up with Pintrest rules I have to do it everyday. So here is today's....

The knight of staves, however, ha... [click here for more]

The dagger is perhaps the most common weapon in the d20 system, yet it sees the least amount of use. Every character, from battle-hardened fighters to meek, inoffensive wizards, will carry at least one dagger. However, only the occasional rogue makes use of the dagger as a primary offensive weapon. Well, no more! The latest installment of the Master... [click here for more]
In the latest installment of the Master at Arms series, Blackdirge Publishing explores one of the more obscure weapons in the d20 system: the ranseur. While certainly not a glamorous weapon, the ranseur is an incredibly effective one, and those that have mastered its use are formidable warriors.
