Days Of Our Lives Recaps
DAYS Week of November 1, 2010
Kate arrived at the mausoleum to inform Vivian that she's getting moved...to the crematorium! Viv screamed in horror and then woke up with a start. It was just a nightmare, but she still worried about what Kate might do to her. Meanwhile, Kate told Victor she approves of what he's doing to Viv and will follow his lead, but warned him that he needs to make sure Melanie and Philip don't also find out.
Maggie visited Hope in prison. Hope whispered that she's terribly saddened by what she sees in her fellow prisoners, adding that there was a woman who "supposedly" died from appendicitis. Maggie seemed concerned about Hope's odd behavior but Hope assured her that she's fine. Hope then got an update on the Victor/Maggie situation. Maggie said she can't imagine being with anyone else after Mickey. Hope admitted that she's had a lot of time to think about her own marriage to Bo and that she misses him terribly.
Nathan sweetly proposed to a stunned Stephanie, who happily accepted. They shared a passionate kiss and fell into bed. They agreed to keep things simple and honest and Steph assured Nate that being engaged to Philip was a mistake from the beginning.
At the hospital, Philip encountered EJ and they tangled about being on the board together. EJ cracked that they asked a DiMera to join to keep the Kiriakis in check. Phil made it clear that he's changed his ways since marrying Melanie; EJ him about really trading in all of his secrets and lies for true love.
At the Pub, Caroline implored a very confuse Kayla to stop digging around with the paternity test swap. "No one wants to be the baby's father so leave it at that," Caroline pleaded and pointed out that no one got hurt. Kayla demanded to know why Caroline was so invested. "Because I did it," she confessed. She said she wants to protect Stephanie from heartbreak and was inspired to perform the switch after she saw Steph talking to Ian about how much she worries about losing Nathan. Kayla didn't buy it and called Caroline a betrayer for interfering in Steph's life.
Bo and Carly continued to talk at the pier, where Bo told Carly that Kayla will always side with Hope. Carly was hurt but said it was okay as long as Bo still loves her. He assured her that he does and they kissed. Later, Chloe arrived and caught up with the duo. Bo asked when Carly and Chloe became friends; Carly explained the best she could. When Bo stepped away to take a call, Chloe thanked Carly for her loyalty as a friend, but worried that it ruined her relationship with Melanie. Carly brushed it off, adding that Mel and Daniel will be fine as long as no one learns the truth about
the baby. Bo returned and broke the news to Chloe about Arianna's accident. She had no idea what had happened because she was out of town. She rushed off to find Daniel while Bo questioned Carly about her newfound friendship with Chloe, adding that he doesn't buy her story. He said he worries about his loved ones too much sometimes.
Melanie was emotional as she struggled to tell Daniel the truth. "Chloe's not a good person and I will never be okay with her," she finally said. Daniel was hopeful that they'd work things out with time. Later, Chloe arrived and gave Mel her condolences about Ari. Mel thanked her; Daniel was pleased. Maggie arrived and was excited to hear about Chloe and Daniel's honeymoon but wanted to pick up some pumpkins first for the kids at the shelter and ran off. Daniel went with her and gave Mel a look before he departed. Chloe sensed that she interrupted something between Mel and her
dad earlier and inquired.
Back at the prison, Lee asked Hope about her visit and agreed to take inventory at the clinic. When Lee left, Hope quickly rifled through some files. "You shouldn't have died. I wonder what other women are in danger," she said.
Back at the Pub, Caroline was determined to prove to Kayla that she's not always a nice person and pointed out that she lied about Bo's paternity for 10 years. "I have a big great that the truth came out and Ill be damned it I'm going to let that happen again," she spat, then brought up what Phil did to Pocket and said he doesn't deserve to have another child. Kayla chided her for trying to play God but Caroline refused to apologize for her actions. Then Caroline begged Kayla to stay mum about the truth. Kayla broke down and rushed off; Bo saw her on her way out.
Daniel told Maggie he thinks that Mel and Chloe's relationship is on the mend. Meanwhile, Mel called Chloe out on only stopping by to see if Mel had still kept her secret from Daniel.... EJ made a call saying he knows Sami shot him and he can prove it.
Nicole was at the park and reminisced about spending time with Sydney.
Kinsey arrived and was excited for a job opportunity with Nic, who had to
explain it doesn't have anything to do with showbiz, but Kinsey helping Nic
see Sydney again. Kinsey refused at first, but could be easily persuaded‹ if
Nic paid up. She agreed to match Kinsey's Pub pay and then some.
At the prison, Hope continued to rifle through the medical files and saw a
list of patients' names in alphabetical order. She quickly saw another
pattern: all of the patients had unexpectedly died. She covered when Lee and
the warden entered. Hope asked for a job reassignment and asked the warden
if she could talk to Bo, claiming she's worried about Ciara.
Outside the Pub, Bo asked an upset Kayla what's going on. She thought about
Caroline's admission and told Bo he needs to know the truth. Carly then
arrived; Bo assumed the ladies' recent fight was what was eating at Kayla. So,
he told her to back off and pointed out that his relationship with Carly is
none of her business. He felt relieved but was surprised that Kayla didn't
lash out at him. Distracted, Kayla admitted she was in the wrong, then asked
if Bo and Carly were curious about why she'd suddenly changed her opinion.
They all marched back into the Pub, where Kayla confronted Caroline and
demanded that she tell Bo what's going on. Before they could finish the
conversation, Stephanie and Nathan arrived to happily announce their
EJ went into Sami and Rafe's apartment to look for proof that she'd shot
him. Then he fantasized about fighting with and consequently sharing a
steamy reunion kiss with his ex. Alas, EJ was brought back to reality when
he heard Sami unlock the front door. He hid and when Sami stepped away, he
spied his daughter sitting alone on the couch. He told Sydney how much he
misses her and when she cried out "Daddy!" Sami came rushing back in. EJ hid
again while Sami tried to explain to Sydney why she can't see her dad right
now. EJ was emotional and frustrated.
At the Kiriakis manse, Victor told Philip he's not ready for him and Melanie
to move in just yet and advised him to stay at Maggie's until after the
renovations are complete. Phil surmised Vic just doesn't want them there.
Vic went to taunt Viv; Phil tried to figure out what was really going on.
Vivian felt ill and realized the fumes from the coffin were finally taking
their toll on her health. She broke out in a sweat and hallucinated that
she was covered in maggots. As Victor was chatting with Viv, Phil suddenly
showed up and called Vic out on lying about the renovations. So, Vic
continued to come up with excuses, one of which Phil bought. They departed
together, much to Viv's dismay. She pleaded with Phil to figure out she's
At the park, Nic and Kinsey struck a deal. Sami arrived just in time to
overhear them talking about Nic seeing Sydney. Kinsey quickly threw Nicole
under the bus, pointing out that she's obsessed with Sydney. Sami warned Nic
yet again to stay away from her daughter, lest she get a restraining order.
She then threatened to have Bo and Roman find whatever skeletons are still
in Nic's closet. Nic thought of Vivian. She said she just wants the child to be happy and hopes Sami doesn't do
something to jeopardize that. Sami thought about Arianna and agreed to let
Nic go without a restraining order. After Sami left, Nic was overcome with
emotion and determined to find away to get Sydney back in her life.
Back at the Pub, Caroline pulled Kayla aside and warned her not to ruin
Stephanie's big day. Kayla refused to leave town before straightening
everything out. Steph inquired what's going on; Kayla told her everything's
spun out of control. Despite Caroline's protest, Kayla explained that
there's been a big mistake regarding Chloe's paternity test. Meanwhile, Bo
went to visit Hope, who said something terrible is going on at the prison
and it has to stop.
Back at home, Sami freaked out when she had a vision of vengeful Arianna
playing her Flip phone confession and worried that someone would find the
camera before she could. Meanwhile, EJ ordered to have Rafe followed and was
upset that he couldn't find the proof he's looking for.
Today's episode was pre-empted due to the network's news coverage of President Obama's press conference.
Stefano was short of breath and feeling week as he flashed back to EJ in the hospital. He summoned Marco to get him a glass of orange juice and told him to find out who shot EJ and "take care of it," regardless of who it is.
Brady ran into EJ at the park. He thanked Elvis for giving him the heads up about Arianna, which allowed him to say good-bye to her. EJ, of course, was preoccupied with what Ari was trying to say to him before she died and asked Brady whether he might know something. His questions piqued Brady's curiosity and he was upset to realize that EJ only summoned him to Ari's bedside because he hoped she'd tell Brady what EJ wants. EJ apologized and explained that Ari had proof that Sami shot him and played on Brady's guilt. "Don't you think we owe it to Ari to find the proof?" he asked. Brady refused to believe that Sami would pull the trigger.
At the prison, Hope explained to Bo that what she's discovered is not good. They started chatting about Ciara. Hope used code words to relay important information about the mysterious April situation. Bo realized Hope needs help and offered to take care of it. Meanwhile, Lee worried that Hope was passing on information and told the Warden, who decided to take matters into her own hands.
Philip broke the news to Melanie that Victor doesn't want them moving into the mansion just yet. He was determined to find out why. Mel figured Victor isn't too keen on her moving in because of her ties to Carly and was understanding. They informed Maggie, who said she also thinks Victor is keeping something from all of them.
At the Pub, Kayla told Stephanie that Philip is the baby's father, not Daniel. Steph was confused about why they were talking about it in front of Caroline and was insistent they keep things quiet lest they ruin Chloe and Daniel's happiness. Kayla warned her daughter to be prepared for when the truth comes out; Steph implored her mom not to spill the beans so she doesn't lose Nathan to Melanie. Kayla got a call about Steve and had to catch a plane to care for him. Steph was relieved she'd leave before saying anything. Out of spite, Kayla revealed that Caroline switched the tests. Steph was floored; Caroline continued to defend her actions. Kayla made Stephanie promise her that she'd talk to Chloe. After, Nathan showed up; Caroline bought everyone a round to celebrate the engagement. Melanie and Maggie showed up just in time; Nathan made sure she was okay with the news.
At the mausoleum, Vivian thought she was dead when she found herself in a beautiful garden. There she had a spooky encounter with Lawrence and feared she'd gone to hell. Lawrence reminded her that everyone hates her and no one will help her. Viv woke up happy to realize that it wasn't a vision of the future. Back at the Kiriakis manse, Phil asked Brady if he knows why Victor wouldn't want him to move in. Brady played dumb.
Bo asked Carly some medical questions about appendicitis and worried about Hope putting herself in danger to get more information. Carly suggested they team up to do some digging themselves.
EJ returned home, where Stefano told his son to find whatever proof there is to implicate Sami fast. He was frustrated that tefano didn't offer to help him before. Stefano said he knows what to do and pointed out that he knows EJ wants to have control over Sami so he can decide whether to send her to prison or get her back in his bed.
At the mausoleum, Brady checked in on Viv ,who was getting more insane by the hour. Then Philip entered and wanted to know who Brady was talking to.
Victor was grumpy that so many people know about Vivian being in the sarcophagus. He groused to Nicole. Kate entered and revealed that she's one of the people who know about Viv. Nic quickly realized Kate has the upper hand and is blackmailing Vic. "That's right; Victor is my bitch!" Kate smirked and basked in the glow of her newfound power. Victor told Nic they'll try to make the best of the bad situation.
Meanwhile, at the mausoleum, Philip caught Brady talking to Viv just as he said, "Why are you still alive?" Brady covered; Phil was dubious. Viv was desperate for Phil to notice her. Phil saw the Bluetooth, heard Viv begging for help and realized she's in the coffin. He demanded that she explain why she poisoned Melanie and wanted to kill Maggie; she promised to explain when she gets out. Phil told Brady that they can't just leave her there. Brady explained that Viv deserves it for all that she's done, adding that the Kiriakis family will pay if Viv gets out. Phil was convinced and happy to keep her there as well.
At the DiMera manse, Stefano called EJ out on his additional motivation for getting the goods on Sami, suggesting that he really wants to reunite with her, not send her to prison. EJ got a call and seemed pleased with what he heard.
Sami called Roman to invite him to a memorial for Arianna. He was concerned about how Rafe would view his presence there. Sami assured him it'd be okay and fretted again about locating the camera. A mourning Rafe entered; Sami consoled him.
At the Pub, Melanie tried to write something to say about Arianna but was frustrated; Maggie offered some guidance. They both admitted they are thrilled to still be living under the same roof, but are confused about why Victor changed his mind so suddenly.
At Ari's memorial, everyone was upset when EJ showed up unannounced. Rafe let him stay and refused to make a scene. Melanie, Caroline and Gabi each gave emotional speeches. EJ chugged some champagne and also stood up to say his part, calling Ari his friend. Sami was visibly disgusted. After, Rafe said his peace. Meanwhile, someone took a box from Ari's room. Mel was concerned that Phil and Brady missed the memorial. Roman missed a call from Kayla and asked Caroline if she knows what it might have been about; she fibbed that Kayla just wanted to say good-bye. EJ approached Rafe and asked to talk to Sami alone; Rafe refused to let it happen. He was miffed and reminded them that once he finds Ari's proof, it's all over.
Back at Victor's, Nic broke the news to Brady that Kate knows about Vivian; Victor blamed him for the trouble. Kate was surprised when Phil entered and said he also knows about Viv. They all agreed that their sympathy for Viv ended when she started whining and they just can't bring themselves to save her.

Urrea, Luis Alberto. The Hummingbird's Daughter
Urrea here tells the mesmerizing story of the life of his ancestor, Saint Teresa Urrea. Born into poverty on the rancho of her father Tomas Urrea in the 1870s, Teresa was raised in among the workers until first the rancho's wise woman Huila and then Tomas himself recognized that Teresa was an illegitimate Urrea and took her in. Huila trained the girl in herbcraft, healing, and the other lore that was her heritage, and Tomas attempted to domesticate her, giving her shoes and teaching her manners. But Teresa was destined to be a troublemaker. A shocking act of violence turned the wild girl into the Saint, returning from near-death with healing powers in her hands and revolution in her heart. This brought down upon the Urrea rancho first swarms of pilgrims and later, the wrath of the Mexican government.
Sweeping in scope and style, infused with magical realism and delicious descriptions of the many smells and tastes and colors of the rancho, The Hummingbird's Daughter is beautiful and, at times, funny and wise. Highly recommended for fans of Latino or historical fiction.

Today we read the book Giant Panda, by Kira Freed. It was a very informational nonfiction book. We learned many new and interesting facts about these extremely endangered animals. They have always been one of my favorite wildlife animals and I enjoyed reading this with the class. I would like each of my students to please leave a comment to share with our visitors that come to our blogs what each of you enjoyed learning about these amazing animals as we read today.

As part of the recent campus celebration of International Education Week, the Mu Chapter of Phi Beta Delta Honor Society for International Scholars inducted 40 new faculty, staff and student members and awarded the 2013 honorary membership to The World Affairs Council of Charlotte.
New members were recognized for their excellence in international research, international study and for contributions to the internationalization of UNC Charlotte and the larger Charlotte community.
The World Affairs Council of Charlotte was honored for its many and diverse programs that focus on education and world affairs. "The Council seeks to provide leadership for global thinking, believing that a broad perspective is necessary for effective competition in the global economy and for responsible citizenship in an increasingly interdependent political world," said Dr. Michael Thompson, chapter president and associate professor of Public Health Sciences.
The Projective Eye Gallery, located in UNC Charlotte Center City, will present "Murmurs on the Other Side of Light," surreal paintings of the life of the shadow by Guyanese artist Stanley Greaves from Friday, Nov. 22, through Friday, Jan. 3.
A celebrated Caribbean artist, Greaves is known for a lifetime of creating surrealistic narrative accounts of Guyana's politically tumultuous period during the 1960s, 70s and 80s. More recently, his psychosocially charged paintings have depicted shadow forms. In this series, the shadow has its own life, forever elusive and symbolic of the "collective unconscious." These dark figures move with celebration, triumph and the playfulness of a child, presented from the wise and long-lived perspective of a Caribbean surrealist in his 70s.
The Projective Eye Gallery, part of the UNC Charlotte College of Arts + Architecture, is open seven days a week, from 9:00 AM - 9:00 PM.

We'll outrage is growing today in the gruesome death of a man crushed by a speeding New York City Subway train.
New witness accounts reveal more than a dozen commuters stood by and watched as it happened.
First is the victim argued with the man who is said to have pushed him onto the tracks.
And that is the victim struggled to get back up on the platform.
Moments before his life was taken.
Folks asking now why why did no one try to help the man get off of the tracks.
In the time he had before he perished.
Here to help us with a possible explanation -- -- out -- psychiatrist and member of our Fox News medical eighteen -- welcome back to the program.
They -- get so there were about.
22 seconds they say.
From the time the man went down was pushed down.
Onto the tracks and the time he was hit by the train and -- folks are asking the photographer who took the photo of those last few moments.
And wondering about the people who stood on the platform and did not reach down.
And offer hands or anything.
To try to help -- your thoughts on.
Well people are known to not do very well when they're in a group.
And someone is called upon to be heroic we do less well as a group this bystander.
Effect which has been well known.
For decades since Kitty Genovese was brutally attacked.
And people heard her screams from apartments surrounding area where she was attacked.
Didn't come out.
Didn't even -- to call police in time and so we know that people act like -- chain.
Breaking a link up that chain is difficult because everybody's looking at everyone else.
Thinking that there must be some reservoir of knowledge about why no one's acting.
To declare oneself a leader.
And it -- heroic.
Is harder than you think in a moment of tragedy or conflict.
And it says something also about human beings and whether they're willing to raise their hands and disagree with the group.
We -- really reticent as human beings to do that and when -- is moving it feels like a group decision when it isn't that it's just the paralysis.
Of this bystander effect.
That's the thing the paralysis.
And they talk about this.
It was a book picking out a couple years ago about survivors and talked about how we think about -- an airplane goes down people would be -- dashing towards the exits you know they thought they had -- way of getting out.
But but the facts show the opposite the facts show normally people sit there.
In stone because that they've never dealt with the situation before they don't know what to do.
So are the critics being too hard on the people who were standing on a subway platform.
He just trying to catch train -- second in the next in -- life or death situation and watching a man who really was in a life or death situation in the next.
I think look that the critics may be tough on these folks because we know that this is an effect that exists psychologically but certainly human beings can aspire to better.
I think we have to at least look at these events and say look.
You know what don't just be like a piece of velcro -- -- the crowd because culturally insists societal leak this says it's tremendous.
If nobody will reach down.
To save a single man's life who is going to be crushed by oncoming train who among us will lead at times of desperate need.
In our nation for instance is gonna raise their hand to say I'll take the hit.
Here I'll do that let me -- -- to be done right now.
Let me ask you this the reports were that the victim here at the man had been pushed onto the train tracks was had been drinking.
And there's this altercation that he had between you know that the perpetrators -- and self.
And I don't know you know -- -- is in the New York -- city subway -- you know its its eyes down don't make eye contact don't talk.
State of the back and you CDs too loud gentleman having a confrontation and one I don't know whether he was visibly drunk or not.
Next second he's down on the tracks you'd have to worry a bit about.
Is he gonna pull me down there to I don't know who this -- -- what how we got down there exactly what just happened between those two guys.
Yes listen that doesn't help matters but we know from other circumstances that people walk by someone who's been hit on a -- on a busy street.
By a car they'll just keep walking if everybody else's so I think this is by the way teachable I think you can teach kids.
Whether in school or at home.
Don't do that so that they are prepared to act at times of need and and potentially to save a life.
Don't forget people also and this is a terrible commentary on where were rat technologically.
There are mostly moved to take pictures of this with their cell -- -- maybe that -- it up on FaceBook.
Well what I make of that is that we're lost in technology to dehumanizing influence.
The impact of reality TV and FaceBook and iphones is that we are essentially.
Ripped from the by earnings of our own real existence is and we become fictional characters.
And minor producers walking around chronicling a fake set of events when really real life is passing us by that's what's happening.
-- to.
Into -- and the photographer.
Who said he was trying he claims that he was trying to use the flash on his camera to somehow alert the train driver whether he was actually doing that.
Or documenting the bit the -- now feels guilty about doing that.
I I don't know what the truth is.
But either way.
-- -- -- he'll -- -- I think he's a photographer.
Yeah look I mean if anybody he says first lawyers further away than the other people secondly he's a photographer you know.
If he is one that's what he does -- mean of all people he's moving toward the scene and it's this gripping.
You know that's what a photographer does he takes pictures a journalist he was there just -- but dispatched by a newspaper for another event but.
Least of all of all all people there would you expect him.
To break stride with everything he knows in his entire existence and suddenly throw his camera side and raced past everyone.
Many of whom -- you know closer than he.
Two to rescue this -- I think yes people being particularly tough and the image has value because otherwise we might not have been talking about it right now that people need to stand up.
Chad Lindsey is a guy who saw a man follow the tracks at Penn Station back in 2009 and he let down to help him and he -- come out defending this photographer saying.
That -- shot is misleading it's a still shot everything you think about those tracks is wrong it's it the death.
How massive they are how scary they are you don't realize.
What you know the danger that awaits you if you if you wanna jump down -- so he -- come to his defense.
And obviously be the only man really responsible for what has happened here is the man who push.
The victim doctor outlook thanks for being here.
Thank you -- and take care.

The Caboo is as simple with your new born as it is with nipper, whenever, wherever or however you use it. Great indoors, it will allow you to get on with your day 'hands free' whilst maintaining that all important reassurance for you and your baby or you can take a Caboo outside for some fresh air and to share some scenery, it is the perfect way to bond with your little one.
Caboo is simply and easy to use by yourself, it goes on quickly and easily and adjusts to fit you and baby exactly by simply pulling the fabric through the rings.
Baby is held high and close to you heart providing natural reassurance and a feeling of security for you both.
When you Caboo, your little one is fully supported from the top of their head to the base of their spine and behind both knees, they will sit in the correct physiological 'frog legged position' which is a very natural position for a baby and naturally places less weight and strain on their developing hips and spine.
The Caboo is supremely comfortable for you too, our soft wide straps spread the weight of your little one evenly over both shoulders making it comfortable for longer.
While the fixed cross provides excellent back support and will help reduce the strain on your shoulders.Feeding in your Caboo is simple, convenient and discreet for nursing Muma. Caboo is made from 100% Certified Organic cotton which is light and fully breathable.
We bought the carrier after trying it through the local sling library. Little man loves being in it and it means I can get on and do things at home. we also used it for a day at a busy Christmas market and was so much easier than taking the pushchair. It's really easy to get on and off, the fabric is lovely and soft.
This carrier is very simple to use. I used the YouTube video the first time and after that have had no problems. I am tall ( 5, 10) and find it fits well. My sister is shorter ( 5 4) and it is easy to adjust it for her.
We have a more structured carrier for our newborn, however I wanted something a bit softer to use about the house and for shorter trips locally...this absolutely does the job. It's very easy to use and our baby girl is very comfortable in it. I use it when I'm trying to get things done around the house and she won't settle on her own, if I want to quickly pop out to the shops or last night we went for dinner in quite a busy restaurant where the buggy may not have fit so I wore this and kept her close. I tried another similar fabric sling which was just a long piece of fabric which you had to arrange/tie youself...this one is much easier to just pop on and put the baby in. Would definitely recommend.
tried this sling in a shop with a real baby weighted doll and is by far the bestsling i have tried as felt snug and safe
I have used this carrier from newborn onwards and because it is infinitely adjustable it has provided custom support at every stage. I have had problems with more traditional carriers in that my baby is slumping and his head is not fully supported, but with this carrier I feel he is totally secure. My son normally falls asleep within minutes of being placed in the carrier so he obviously enjoys the experience! It is easy to use, comfortable to wear and can be used by people of different sizes without having to change any 'settings' (my six foot husband also uses it.) It also looks stylish and packs away very neatly. This carrier represents great value for money and has clearly been well designed and thought through. I note that it has just been awarded a (well deserved) Which magazine 'Best Buy.'

Due to the fact that no attempt to create uniform law for multimodal carriage has as yet met with success, transport law has no adequate means to create certainty as to the legal consequences of any loss, damage or delay of cargo resulting from multimodal carriage contracts. A fragmented, complex and inconsistent liability patchwork – which involves regional, subregional and national laws usually focused on unimodal transport, supplemented by contractual standard rules created by the industry – serves as an international liability framework. The consequence of this state of affairs is that the applicable liability rules vary greatly from case to case and give rise to uncertainty concerning the extent of a multimodal carrier's liability in a given situation. Indeed, according to a 2003 UNCTAD survey, most parties involved in the transport industry do not consider the existing legal framework for multimodal transportation to be satisfactory or even cost-effective.
Now, progressing through an in-depth analysis of the exact nature of the international multimodal carriage contract, this important study assesses how the most advantageous law applicable to a multimodal contract may be uncovered. Using the ideas, legislation and case law on multimodal carriage in the legal systems of Germany, The Netherlands and England to anchor her presentation, the author offers a thorough investigation of the existing framework of carriage law, the applicable rules of private international law, and the options provided by choice of law based on contractual conditions. In the course of the analysis all essential issues are scrutinized, including the following:
• whether the modes of transport to be used may be left open by the contract;
• time bars on protest and litigation and when they commence;
• carriage documentation;
• liability of the carrier for subcontractors;
• planning for 'friction costs';
• rules on jurisdiction and the resulting forum shopping practice;
• instances where conventions overlap, or when no existing carriage regime applies;
• damage or loss that occurs at the point where one unimodal regime ends and another begins;
• damage or loss brought about by multiple causes; and
• rights and obligations attached to delivery.
No comparable treatise exists on which rules may govern international multimodal contracts for the carriage of goods and under what conditions they will do so, and this book is thus an indispensable asset to the work of any practitioner or official connected with international transport. In addition, the author presents a detailed review of the various drafts and propositions that have been on offer in recent years, and submits a well-thought-out proposal for a set of multimodal transport rules to alleviate the difficulties that currently plague this area of carriage law.

Free-agent outside linebacker Bryan Thomas was the longest-tenured New York Jets player last season, having appeared in 157 games over 11 seasons. Thomas, 33, is now contemplating retirement after doctors found a torn tendon in his shoulder when he went under the knife to repair a torn pectoral muscle six weeks ago. A part-time player in 2012, Thomas will have trouble drawing interest from teams on a one-year contract since he won't be able to participate in spring practices.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Authorities say a 23-year-old Wisconsin Iraq War veteran shot and killed his pregnant wife, 13-month-old daughter, three dogs and then himself.
Police in Superior said Thursday they don't know why Matthew Magdzas killed his 26-year-old wife April Oles and their daughter, Lila. Investigators believe the killings happened Tuesday.
Tessa Buscko, a friend and former colleague of Oles', says Oles was due to give birth by C-section Wednesday to the couple's second daughter.
That was the day Oles' mother went to the couple's home and found the family dead.

The Glass Man gets called out
Monday, July 26th, 2010The internet is a wonderful thing. It really levels the playing field for everybody. I like to surf the net like Ted Haggard likes male prostitutes. I do it all the time because you never know what interesting bits of information you are going to find. The internet really offers true equality, which is really hard to find. People are always talking about it, but seldom is it really attained. Oh there are degrees of equality, but not true equality. This always bothered me because its just another way of saying "separate but equal." What happens when somebody speaks up about true equality is that they get labeled a socialist nowadays. It is more sickening when our community leaders are the ones practicing this separate but equal ideology and when they are pressed about it they still claim its true equality. It's usually the privileged that have a hard time accepting equality, because if we were all equal they would no longer be privileged. This week while I was trolling the internet I found a pretty interesting clip in my email from a Netroots Nation conference that took place not too long ago. The video features a speech by our favorite privileged crooning councilman Rodney Glassman. Rodney is seen here espousing his achievements and talking about how proud he is of all of that fluff, before someone in the audience calls him out.
"Are you proud to oppose marriage equality?" is what the audience member asks Mr. Glassman. It was obvious that Rodney was not aware of what the guy was asking and stops and gives him his attention because everyone is saying "let him speak". Once Rodney realizes that the guy is pressing him on being against gay marriage, he immediately continues as if that guy had never existed. The next words out of his mouth should infuriate anyone that believes in equal rights for all, Glassman says "I am proud of my track record on equality". Unless you're gay of course or atheist. He very cleverly left out the word "marriage" because he doesn't believe in marriage equality. Glassman has gone on record saying that when it comes to gay marriage, he believes the word marriage belongs to the religious institutions.
So, in his mind you should only be allowed to marry if you are religious, therefore if you don't believe in a god you're screwed out of marriage as well. If marriage is regulated by the religious institutions he doesn't have to stand up against inequality because he has a cop out in that he can just say they can do that since it is part of their religion. Go Rodney!!! Sheesh. How regressive can you get? What's next, "women belong in the kitchen"?

I always try to stop by here when I'm in Soho, it's hard not too! As soon as somebody mentions Princi it's almost impossible to go anywhere else. Yes, it's a bit tricky getting served, and even trickier to find a seat sometimes, but the bustle is part of the charm. The food is delicous.. The pizza, the breadsticks with olives..the desserts.. The full sit down restaurant is great too when you want a bit more space.

Good for when you just can't decide what to eat as you can have a bit of everything!

Went there on friend's recommendation but everything was disappointing except for the cute bartender. The chicken leg i ordered was completely tasteless itself, the sauce that it comes in was very salty. Friends ordered lots of other stuff but nothing leaves an impression. Definitely not recommending to anyone.

The one in Milan is not as successful as the London one. LOL Thanks for its good location!!!
I've been there twice, both time I felt satisfied.
Last visit, I've ordered Turkey Lentils Salad x Broccoli and 2 pieces of Focaccia to takeaway. Buono! Better than my first visit, Foccacia was so tasty, welll seasoned and not quite greasy.
Turkey salad was also delicious, just perfect. The chilli broccoli, wow, was a surprice. Well done!!!
I've been there around 2-3 in the afternoon, not too crowd, didnt queue there, felt good :) and the in total 6pounds for a balanced and healthy, nice potion lunch.
First time there, I tried Tiramisu and some other dolci thing~ Loved all my desserts!
Definitely will be back.

This deli/self service style restaurant is something I'd associate with a trip to IKEA, you choose from the selection breads, salads, pizzas and most importantly the hot dishes. I order my lasagne, grab a drink and try to find a place to sit.
My first thoughts were the lasagne looked a little dry, and I was half right. The pasta was great & the sauce was OK, I like mine oozing out of the sides, but here I thought they were a little sparing with it. Every so often I'd hit a basil leaf or a slice of mozzarella, and this made nearly every mouthful different. A nice touch as a bad lasagne can get pretty boring very quickly.
The beef was great, it melted in the mouth & was full of flavour. The two biggest let downs for me were the lack of Béchamel/Cheese sauce along with the topping. The cheese topping was coming away from the top layer of pasta and was quite dry, I imagine this was due to it being kept warm.

My boyfried and I visited London on last year 2012 and we stumbled upon Princi Restaurant. We love this restaurant and the next time we visit London, Princi is on the top of our list!.

What a hidden gem - especially in the heat of summer. Escape the hordes in generic coffee shops on Oxford Street and settle down for a mocha and pastry in tranquility. The prices are no more expensive than a chain, but the quality and service afforded is far superior. It can get busy - get one person in your party to secure seats while the others get their orders in. Highly recommended nonetheless.

Umm..the TimeOut review said: 'Huge Portions'??!! Jesus, are we going to the same place? I imagine the reviewer was a woman on a diet..
This place is expensive for the portion size (which is SMALL, even my italian friend commented). If you are hungry and expect to feel full after then either go elsewhere or expect to pay for 2 meals as I am always hungry just after 1 'main course'. The 2nd course cake tends to fills me up, but then that's because I am lactose intolerant so, well.....
Anyhows, the food is very nice and atmosphere like it is in Italy (my italian friend told me since I've never been there myself). Everyone is dressed nicely (due to the prices charged trash doesn't come here) and I enjoy coming here once in a while if only to sample their big cake selection and have a nice coffee.
Seating, if you can get it, is communal and cramped at times..queues, well, you don't come here in a rush and if you have been to the Mediterranean, u already know service is not high on the agenda there...although there are often beautiful people here to ogle (as well as some of the very attractive staff) to make up for everything.Ravi Tue Jan 22Rated as: 4/5 -

Do you have tricks or techniques to remember all the rules to the games you're playing? I would like to run my first game as a gamemaster, but I'm struggling with remembering all the feats and competency rules. This is for d20 Star Wars, but I suppose it would be the same with any other rules-heavy game.
First off: you don't need to remember them. It sounds like you've tried to commit them to memory, which means that you've read it all: good, that's the right place to start. That gives you the knowledge of where to look up things in the book, and be able to do it quickly. When you're in the middle of a game and you know exactly where to flip to answer a rules question, you can do it quickly without disrupting the flow of play, refresh your memory, and get back to the game. Second, being able to rattle off statistics and details of complex rules will come with long experience using it. Your best study method for learning the game is playing and running it. Your players are going to be doing the same thing, so they will remember bits that are relevant to their own characters. With passing familiarity, you'll be able to say, "Oh yes, you're right. That's how it works," or say, "Hold on, I remember it differently. Let me look it up." Sometimes you'll not be able to find something in the rules quickly enough. Then you should make a temporary ruling, and defer sorting it out until after the session has ended. Make a note to look it up after if that helps. Most of the time it won't make a huge (or any) difference in how the session went, and reviewing it after will cement in your mind for next time how it's supposed to work. Occasionally, it will make a difference. Some players won't mind, other will. This is one of the hard parts of GMing: you'll have to either stand firm on how it all happened, or make up the difference to the player next time. Much like learning the rules, judging how to handle that will come with experience. Good luck, and remember to enjoy yourself! You're a player too. | |||||
It's not the same with every other game. D20 and it's derivatives have lots of detailed special case rules (the Feats), and particularly detailed mechanics for combat movement. SW Saga is a D20 variant, and shares those traits. Step 1: is to realize that you don't need to know them all right off. In many cases, you just need to know where to look, and your players will know how to use their feats. Step 2: make a cheat sheet (using ye olde photocopier, or scanner and printer, or by retyping) with the feats your players' characters have. Keep it handy. The more they use them, the more you'll remember. Step 3: as more and more feats come into play, add more cheat sheets; you'll be using the originals less, hopefully, so you're just really relying upon it for the new stuff. A few common tools for memorization include:
Also, the more you run it, the easier it gets for any given game. There are other games with fewer and simpler rules; there are also longer, harder and more complex games. So if you find it a problem to run SW with the special cases, find a simpler game that you can run it with. But try it first, with memorizing only what you need to: the core mechanic and the basic combat rules. | |||
For D20/D&D3.5 - things like grappling/sundering/size disparity/jumping I often get it wrong.. so I would often rely a lot on the collective mindshare of the other players. If I come to a point that I can't remembrance, I usually offer something like "I seem to remember that it works this way.." give my solution and if nobody objects, well, that's the way it works. So the first tier is "Proposed DM solution"- You have to make it clear that if your way is wrong, you'd be open to correction. Usually/often I have had someone (sometimes two or three people) who was way more into the way the rules worked (perhaps because they had built charaters around those rules) and they would clarify the procedure before the dice roll. The second tier is "How Joe the expert is pretty sure it works" Checking the rulebook at that point becomes the third option - only if everyone agrees that they don't know how it works, but that my proposed solution was wrong, and that the situation is serious enough that it warrants a rule vice a ruling. I always hope never have to get to third tier. | |||||||||||||||||
If you've read the rules, you're doing good. There is no need to remember them all. The play is the thing, rules are just there to help keep everyone on the same page. Getting the rules perfect right out of the gate is not necessary. Do your best, when you are unsure of a rule poll the players. If a few have glanced over the rules that would help. After the poll, make a ruling.
Within a few sessions, you'll have found most of the main areas of concern and should be down to a couple questions every session dealing with particular edge questions. My group has been playing together now for 10 years. Thru DnD 3.0, 3.5 and we jumped into 4.0 upon release. We still come up with 0-2 questions a session. But we are a bunch of barely sociable rules lawyers :) If your group is a bit more easy going, you should reach a stable rules basis pretty quickly. Good Luck! | |||
Steer clear of digging through the rulebook during game.
| |||
You don't have to remember all the rules, simply must remember how to remember the rules. This seems tautological but its not. The easiest way to make sure you get all the rules right is to have a quick and easy way of catagorizing and finding the rules. Personally i use a cheat sheet for 4th edition that answers most of the niggling questions on one page. In the past I would dog ear (or mark or have bookmarks ) to certain sections of the book (such as grappling). The only problem with this method is that it requires you to know what you are going to need (and likely have forgotten ) before actually doing so. Its not for everyone, but often a little prep can pay off 10x its weight in results. | |||
If you have read the rules, just play until you hit a road-block. If you have the book nearby and you know where the rule should be, look it up. If you have to look for more than a minute make a decision:
For the cheat sheets the Rules Compendium is my baby for DND3.5 but for other systems I built my own sheet. I have about 5 pages in my file with the WOD Vampire rules summarize on them in one place, same for ShadowRun, etc. The other piece of advice I can give is don't try and summarize all the rules at once if you are making your own cheat sheets . If there is no one in your party with Mounted Combat feats, don't bother looking them up until someone starts taking them. I learned that the hard way... | |||
| |||
| |||
Whenever I start a game I reread the rule book. Any important rules I don't know get written down in the first few pages of my rule book. Now I have a quick reference for things I know I've had trouble remembering. When I write a game session that includes weird rules (ie underwater movement) I lookup the rules during prep time and make a note with the book and page number. I'll probably remember the rule, but it's nice to have a reference ready in my back pocket. | |||
I play in a group where we all alternate the DM role and vary the game based on who is the current DM (for example, George runs Shadowurn, Sally runs Vampire, I run Pathfinder, etc.). Some tips:

It was standing room only as the Dougherty County School Board held the first of two public hearings regarding the possible closure of schools.
A consultant that was hired by school officials addressed the public about how the possible closure of Magnolia Elementary, Sylvester Road Elementary and Dougherty Middle School could save the school system millions of dollars.
"The estimated savings from the proposal is $2 million dollars annually in terms of maintenance and operations," said Eric Bosman, Kimberly-Horn and Associates Consultant.
After Bosman informed the crowd of the results of the study, 15 people came forward with their concerns. Many of them say, for officials, it's more about the money and not the students, particularly those on the east side of Albany attending Dougherty Middle School and Sylvester Road Elementary.
"I want to ask whether or not anybody has done a study to see what that neighborhood has to go through after the schools have been removed," said Leon Gardner, Pastor of New Birth Fellowship Church.
Gardner says when schools leave; neighborhoods go down, leaving empty spaces for vagrants and crime. Then there's the effect on students.
"Did anybody take a look at how it's going to affect these children once they get bused to the different schools," said Leon Gardner.
School officials say if Magnolia were to close, students will be split to attend either Live Oak Elementary or Alice Coachman. Live Oak currently has an occupancy of 66 percent. If it's decided that Magnolia students will be moved to that facility, the occupancy will rise to more than 90 percent.
It's proposed that Sylvester Road Elementary be rezoned to Turner Elementary.
Although the proposed plan has been released to the public, officials say nothing is set in stone.
"Based on the feedback we received tonight, we're going to go back and look at some of those other alternatives and options and see if one of those better meets the public's expectation," said Eric Bosman.
The next public hearing for the closure of schools will be held Thursday, February 7, 2013 at 12:00 PM.

Patty, thanks. Ha, I didn't notice that but yes he is posing the exact same way as the deer. I didn't set that up either. I was trying to get pics of the tree and he was always in front of them, lol.

Diddy in Nike Trainer Clean Sweep
February 27th, 2013 by Brendan Dunne | 3 comments
You have to wonder if Mr. Shiny Suit Man himself Diddy wasn't at least at least a little bit tempted by the silvery metallic colorway of the Nike Trainer Clean Sweep. Instead he's opted for the much more subtle black and brown combo here for a recent dinner outing with reality TV mom Kris Jenner. Check out all the shots of Diddy in his new pair of trainers and tell us in the comments if you approve of this new, high hitting boot looking pair from the folks at Nike Sportswear.

Don't ban him. He hates, like me, companies who are against open source and you are getting some of the heat since you defend them. I really don't understand why do you defend these companies and what are you doing here. For example, I know that Nvidia, does a good job supporting Linux with their binary blob, but they have no excuse not releasing the documentation and not making their driver open source.
So stop complaining about asdx when he tells you to fuck off when you are defending a shitty company, he is right.
Ok sorry for my insults, I only insulted when others have insulted me for expressing my views on proprietary blobs, but I guess I went too far a few times with the "I hope you die" comments, I never really meant those things.
I only get angry when someone insults me for expressing my views on FOSS and blobs, and they insult me for supporting FOSS, then I insult them back for supporting blobs.
But it's pointless because those people seems to have forgotten what made Linux so great, the idea of working together and FOSS, etc.
So I won't bother trying to explain anymore, I hope they realize they are hurting Linux with blobs before it's too late.
Last edited by asdx; 12-05-2012 at 10:58 AM.
Thanks for understanding. That's exactly my point.
We should not forget what made Linux great (FOSS, the people, etc), I believe that allowing blobs in our system is like insulting the work of thousand of other people. So I don't want to go there.
We should strieve for what made Linux and FOSS great and never, at any cost, deviate from that.
.. the ignore list! (while looking to delete my account on this sorry forum half-filled with posters of questionable intelligence and a loud mouth)
Its about being respectful asdx, i get that not everyone on these forums is respectful to everyone else all the time. Hell, me and you have gotten into it once or twice ourselves. We all snap and say shit we don't mean but over all we all need to be respectful and courtesy if for -no better reason- than to constantly trying to be the bigger man / woman.
But its really hard to take you seriously and any apology you say for disrespect when I've got something like "Location: with your sister" staring me in the face every time you post. I use that as an example because I just noticed it and that's just blatant flame-bait.
I'm not AMD fanboi, I prefer not to be attached to any company. I'm a Linux user, and I contribute what I can when I can to the community.
Although I like what AMD/Intel has done for open source in the last years, especially Intel.
I simply want the best for Linux, that is, in-kernel open source drivers.
I simply want companies to respect Linux and the FOSS ideology, otherwise they are just hurting the Linux community with proprietary blobs, and it concerns me what the outcome of this proprietary/blob direction could be in the long run.

His mother has been collecting signatures on a Change.org petition calling upon the Boy Scout to grant her son Eagle rank. Her son has been in Scouting since 6 and has long dreamed of becoming an Eagle Scout, the mother said in the online petition.
Ryan Andresen built a "tolerance wall" made out of 288 unique tiles at his school and was assisted by elementary students, his mother said. The wall shows that bully victims aren't alone.
"Ryan has worked for nearly 12 years to become an Eagle Scout, and nothing would make him more proud than earning that well-deserved distinction," the mother said in the online petition, which has collected more than 450,000 signatures. "I hope that if enough people come together, we can convince my son's troop leaders to help him feel proud of who he is and all he's accomplished."
