Libérez vos docs! in France
Ce mercredi 27 mars, permanence d'un stand à l'accueil de l'établissement pour la promotion des standards ouverts, la libération des documents et l'utilisation de logiciels bureautiques libres!
Journée de sensibilisation à l'importance des documents aux formats libres.
Am jährlichen Document Freedom Day werden weltweit Internetauftritte ausgezeichnet, die offene Standards, insbesondere maschinenlesbare Dokumente, anbieten. Leider wird Berlin wieder leer ausgehen. Dabei liegt der Nutzen offener Dokumente auf der Hand. Gut verwendet können offene Daten dazu beitragen, im Straßenverkehr Staus zu vermeiden oder Angebote beziehungsweise Störungen im ÖPNV schnell und umfassend zu kommunizieren. Erhöhte Lärm- oder Staubwerte können belegt werden, der Vergleich von Aktenteilen zur Aufklärung des BER-Debakels wird erleichtert. Es gibt enorm viele ausgezeichnete Gründe, Dokumente digital, frei und in offenen Formaten zu publizieren. Deshalb haben wir ein Video zum Document Freedom Day gemacht: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LX8hjT35_Xc Leider zeigt der Berliner Senat seit dem Start des Open-Data-Portals wenig Engagement. Der wegweisenden Studie des Fraunhofer-Institutes folgte keine Umsetzungsstrategie. Die Wirtschaftsverwaltung taucht ab, die Innenverwaltung ist im Ausschuss regelmäßig nur bedingt auskunftsfähig. Das Landesportal wird nur unstrukturiert und in Einzelprojekten fortgeführt. Das reicht nicht aus. Der Berliner Senat ist gefordert, die digitalen Schätze zu heben und zu teilen - denn dieser Schatz gehört allen Berlinerinnen und Berlinern. Von der symbolischen Auszeichnung des Document Freedom Day, der obligatorischen Torte, ist Berlin daher leider zu Recht noch weit entfernt.
Freedom and Art Workshops presentation in Berlin, Germany
From the end of February we have been conducting Freedom and Art Workshops in Berlin. We are using Free Software to make Artwork for DFD.

Through the workshops we are raising their awareness about Open Standards and creating promotion material which can be used next year. On March 27, we will present our work and release it.
We'd like to pin Turkey on world map, as a country for Free Documents. Join this adventure!

Our event will begin at 13:00.
In this event, which will be organised by CIES and Binario Etico, in collaboration with the Equazione cooperative, we will propose a public discussion on the importance of Free Software and Open Standards from the ethical, social, environmental and economical angles.
*An appeal to public institution will be presented*. We hope to raise awareness in the Third Sector and among other actors of the Civil Society about the necessity of adopting Free Software and Open Standards in the public administration.
This matter is important for non profit organisations, which encounters problems adopting Free Software and Open Standards in their internal structures, as the public administration asks them to communicate with them by proprietary technologies. Despite the lack of awareness about this problem in the civil society, this problem has deep repercussions in our daily lives, along with other aspects as fair trade, recycling or responsible tourism.

Several speakers in Brussels, Belgium
In the Paul-Henri Spaak building of the European Parliament (room 4B001), there will be an event on Open Standars to emphasize the opportunities offered by digital technologies to broaden access to culture in Europe and in the world. This will takes place from 1 to 3 p.m. and is organised by MEPs Malika Benarab-Attou, Indrek Tarand and Karima Delli.
The three following speakers are invited:
- Stefan Gradmann is Professor of Library and Information Science at Humboldt-University in Berlin with a focus on knowledge management and semantics based operations. He is also a leader of Europeana's technical work package on semantic interoperability and one of the main contributors to the Europeana Data Model (EDM). Previously, Stefan was director of the German Academic Publishers Project, and a technical co-ordinator of the EC-funded FIGARO project - both were concerned with Open Access. He was also an international advisor for the ACLS Commission on Cyberinfrastructure for the Humanities and Social Sciences, contributing to the report Our Cultural Commonwealth. The overall focus of his work is an integrated view of the scholarly information lifecycle. He puts emphasis on interoperability and open methods of modeling the scholarly information continuum - both in technical terms and in an e-scholarship perspective.
- Håkon Wium Lie is Chief Technology Officer of Opera Software. He proposed the concept of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) while working with Tim Berners-Lee and Robert Cailliau at CERN in 1994, CSS being one of the fundamental web standards, with profound impact on typography, aesthetics, and accessibility on the web. In 2006, Wium Lie started campaigning for browsers to support downloadable web fonts using common font formats. As of 2009, all major browser vendors except Microsoft have implemented web fonts this way.

3 Inches of Blood
Long Live Heavy Metal
For years now I have ignored 3 inches of Blood because I thought the band was a joke... and it had a hardcore singer. Quite how I formulated the impression that the band was a joke, I cannot say, but I got it in my head that it was a bunch of metalcore douchebags making some kind of ironic heavy metal parody, and even if that was not the case, the band still had a hardcore singer, so fuck 'em. In my opinion, with perhaps a few exceptions, hardcore singers belong in hardcore bands and no-fucking-where else, least of all in a traditional metal band, parody or not. Well, I have good news for you, or at least for me: The hardcore signer is out. How long he's been out, I do not know and do not care. Good riddance. I have more good news for you, or maybe again just for me: 3 Inches of Blood is no joke. The band's lyrics might be a little tongue in cheek at times, but its fifth album, I think not ironically titled Long Live Heavy Metal, is definitely serious heavy metal, and pretty god-damned good to boot.
The early part of Long Live Heavy Metal finds 3 Inches of Blood wearing its influences on its sleave. "Metal Woman" starts the record off with a vintage Accept vibe: slightly cheesy, but hard-hitting and infectious. "My Sword Will Not Sleep" works a Manowar-esque theme of vengeance-at-swordpoint to great effect, with lead singer Cam Pipes delivering the most fist-pumping, head-banging, scream-along chorus of the album, and make no mistake, the competition is stiff. "Leather Lord" is an ode to a metal hero/anti-hero figure in much the same vein as Priest classics like "The Sentinel", "Sinner" and particulalry from a musical standpoint, "Painkiller". The perfectly titled "Look Out" is a rousing tribute to Ronnie James Dio, the lyrics of which are filled with references to Dio's work. Unfortunately, the song loses some momentum during the extended keyboard solo section, which is perhaps a reference to Rainbow, but ends up sounding more like Deep Purple.
In the latter half of Long Live Heavy Metal, 3 Inches of Blood revels in a little Canadian pride with "Leave it on the Ice" and "Storming Juno". "Leave it on the Ice" is about Canada's true national sport, ice hockey. (No offense to curling, but let's be honest here…) The game's combination of speed, skill, brutality and player-enforced code of honor make it a perfect match for metal, and 3 Inches of Blood puts this one in the five-hole. "Storming Juno" pays tribute to the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division's participation in the Allied invasion of Normandy during WWII. The songs lyrics are a bit trite at times, but Cam Pipe's passionate delivery and another sterling performance by the band make "Storming Juno" a winner.
Vocals often make or break traditional metal bands, and 3 Inches of Blood is no different. Cam Pipes performs entirely in falsetto. To some (myself included), Cam's voice will sound, in all the right ways, like a combination of Rob Halford and Udo Dirkschneider. True, Pipes lacks the versatility of the former and the gritty swagger of the latter, but the range and power he displays on this record is, frankly, ridiculous. Cam's voice is the engine that drives this record; consequently, for those to whom falsetto shrieking is like fingernails on a chalkboard, Long Live Heavy Metal will be rough on the ears.
As for the instrumental portion of Long Live Heavy Metal, it is impeccable. Granted, traditional metal is not the most complex of metal styles, but the members of 3 Inches of Blood have all, no doubt, done time in more extreme metal bands, and their chops shine through on occasion, with liberal use of double bass and intense picking that pushes the music into thrash territory. If there is a flaw in Long Live Heavy Metal, it is that the record is perhaps a little too slick, too predictable and maybe a little too pretty. It would be nice if once in a while a riff came out of left-field and punched you in the gut, but the album has no such surprises. The band, at times, seems to be following a form more than following its own muse. If that sounds like nit-picking, it is; there is not a Hell of a lot to bitch about on this record.
With Long Live Heavy Metal, 3 Inches of Blood has taken my pre-conceived notions of the band and beaten me to a pulp with them. Never, however, have I been so happy to take my lumps: Long Live Heavy Metal is a true metal record in every sense, and an absolute joy to listen to.

I thought exercise was supposed to be good for you
It dawned on me that I needed to eat a little healthier and exercise more than I do when I almost passed out on a brisk walk to my mailbox. Clinging to the box, it took my last bit of strength to grab my electric bill and slam the box door shut.
By the time I made it back to my porch, my dog was wondering if she should pull a Lassie and go get help from the neighbors.
My husband Jason and I are now official members of a gym.
I was so excited to join. They say your drive to really get in there and work out is at its all-time high in the very beginning. That must be the case because I purchased new shoes, dug out a cute gym bag and pulled out a few exercise pants and shirts that had never before seen the light of day.
Entering the gym my first week was a sight to behold. I strutted in the arena, gazing at the assortment of weight machines, bicycles, weights, tread mills and so forth. I did a light skip in the air, took a quick breath and dove onto the stationary bicycle.
I told myself that I would go six miles on the thing, and I was determined to meet my goal.
Thirty minutes later, while the sweat continued to fog up my contacts, I went to make my exit off the machine. Not realizing my new shoelaces were extremely long, one got caught up in the pedal and almost ripped my foot off as I tried to swing my leg over.
Playing it off, I did a sudden skip toward the walking track. The grandmother behind me shook her head. I couldn't bare to pass her by again so I kept taking water breaks until she moved to another machine.
I have since adjusted my shoelaces.
While Jason was over at various weight machines, I decided that girls could do those things too. Mind you, I haven't been on a weight machine since high school. As a basketball player, our coach insisted we lifted weights a few times a week.
I was a good defense player, not so hot on offense. My coach reminded of that every time we entered my high school weight room.
"Get on those leg weights," he grunted. "Get on the calf raise machines. Do not work those arms. Focus on your legs. Your legs are what I want strong on the court."
He even told me one time he better not see the ball in my hands any longer that five seconds. In other words, I was an awful shooter.
Reflecting back on my high school days, I got on the weight machines focused on the legs. I was doing great until I made my way to the hamstring curl machine.
That weight machine is beyond explanation. You have to lie on your stomach and stick your legs under this bar that you curl up and down with the weights.
And of course, when I get on it, a lady I know walks in. Mrs. Morrison greets me and begins various exercises on the weight machines. With seemingly little effort, she knows how to work every one of those confusing machines.
There I was on that machine that resembled a torture device from the Middle Ages.
And then it happened. I got a cramp in my leg and couldn't move it. Losing control of my leg, the weight came crashing down, echoing through the gym.
I couldn't move. I just laid there, on my stomach, looking ridiculous. I didn't have the heart to ask anyone for help. While Mrs. Morrison sat next to me, I stayed there in silence, hoping she wouldn't notice that my socks didn't match or that I couldn't move.
After a few seconds, I got feeling back in my legs and I quickly wiggled my way of that forsaken machine.
I didn't tell Jason about it nor did I have the heart to even speak to Mrs. Morrison. I was ashamed, sore and embarrassed. I didn't even tell Jason that I almost died on that machine, and that I am sure I did permanent damage.
I do hope no more "accidents" happen to me while at the gym. I want to stay motivated and continue my plans.
But I warn that you might you see me get thrown into a wall while exiting a tread mill. Dropping a weight on my foot is bound to happen. I may knock myself out on that arm curl machine. I may flip over a medicine ball. And I probably will squirt water up my nose at the water fountain.
Please just ignore me. I'm inspiring someone in there...I hope.

NORRISTOWN – An Upper Frederick man is headed to state prison after admitting to several break-ins at businesses in the Upper Perkiomen and Collegeville areas.
David Jesse Gardner, 30, of the 3200 block of Locust Lane, was sentenced in Montgomery County Court to 1˝ to three years in a state correctional facility after he pleaded guilty to felony charges of burglary and receiving stolen property in connection with incidents that occurred in December 2011.
Judge Gary S. Silow, who accepted a plea agreement in the matter, also ordered Gardner to complete five years' probation after he's paroled and to pay $100 in restitution in connection with the case.
An investigation of Gardner began on Dec. 24 when Collegeville police took a report of a burglary at the Keyser Miller Ford dealership on Main Street, during which a 42-inch flat screen television, valued at $529, had been stolen from a customer lounge area while the business was closed, according to the arrest affidavit. Police also discovered that a customer's vehicle, a 1994 Ford Explorer, which had been at the dealership for service, also was stolen during the break-in.
Shortly after midnight on Dec. 29, Upper Perk police received a report of a suspicious person inside Pennsburg Auto Body, 408 Railroad St., Pennsburg, while the business was closed, according to the arrest affidavit. When police arrived at the scene, the burglar, subsequently identified as Gardner, fled on foot from the business and entered the backdoor to a nearby home, surprising a juvenile who was playing video games in the living room, police said.
"Gardner advised the juvenile male that he was running from the cops because he got caught stealing," Upper Perk Police Officer James Lavin alleged in the criminal complaint, adding the juvenile male then summoned another family member who escorted Gardner outside.
Police subsequently were able to take Gardner into custody, court papers indicate.
The investigation revealed that Gardner had arrived at Pennsburg Auto Body in the Ford Explorer that had been stolen Dec. 24 from the Collegeville dealership.
"The vehicle was found parked directly next to the Pennsburg Auto Body," Lavin alleged, adding that after arrival there Gardner broke into the auto body business and began loading items into the stolen vehicle. "The items from the building that Gardner was loading into the vehicle consisted of numerous tools and miscellaneous automotive items."
Police alleged that while Gardner was gathering the tools he damaged "a significant amount of property" inside the business.

The problem with mental health issues is that society likes to "sweep them under the carpet". For this reason, more than any other, I find it necessary to be open about my problems because; (a) only by understanding my issues can people understand (and forgive?) my behaviour, and (b) only by making the public aware can changes in attitudes (and improvement in care would be nice!) occur.
Still, having said all that, I did wonder whether this post was the place to air these issues.
Kind Regards

All My Children Recaps
AMC Week of December 8, 2008
Taylor ran into Jake, who told her Brot is okay. As she rolled into Brot's room to scold him for trying to leave, Jake eavesdropped. Brot insisted Taylor is not okay with his injuries. She wished he loved her enough to let her help him. Jake left them as Taylor insisted she wouldn't leave Brot, no matter what. So he tried to leave — but collapsed. Later, Angie said he suffered a gash, and has an infection. Taylor confessed to Angie that she was shocked by Brot's reappearance. Angie related, after mourning Jesse for 20 years. When Brot was brought back in, Taylor insisted, "What we had was more than a fling." He countered that the Brot she knew is dead. "Accept it and move on."
David was trying to calm Krystal, who was distraught about Babe and worried for Little A. David slipped a pill into her milk. Krystal lamented that Tad doesn't know her anymore. At that moment, Tad was at the hospital, telling Angie that Krystal has been acting crazy lately. Angie told him to involve Jesse. Krystal told David that Adam goes for what he wants, no matter who gets hurt, while Tad cares about others. David called Tad "safe," and said it's okay to want more. After he left her to sleep. Amanda appeared, demanding to be paid, but David insisted she make progress first. She forced her way inside and was shocked to see Krystal unconscious.She figured he wants Little A.'s grandmother on his side. He threw her out. Back in the living room, he watched Krystal sleep. When he woke her, she begged him, "Make love to me." Oh, it was just her dream. She awoke in a panic and tried to leave, but he insisted on driving, and took her to Babe's grave.
When Aidan sneaked into Annie's "secure" room, she got the drop on him and started strangling him, claiming Greenlee sent him to kill her. Jesse accused Aidan trying to prevent Annie from blowing his cover! Aidan demanded a polygraph. At the station, Jesse promised to help Tad find Krystal. Tad vouched for Aidan, but Jesse remained skeptical. Det. Reynolds administered a polygraph test, in which Aidan copped to knowing Annie planned the abduction, but he didn't go to cops. He indicated he didn't help Annie kidnap the child, and Reynolds said Aidan isn't lying. "You got nothing," Aidan crowed, then strutted out. Meanwhile, Greenlee brought Ryan a Christmas tree. They acknowledged they want to be together, but then Emma interrupted and insisted on decorating the tree. In a box of decorations, Greenlee found a green butterfly that Emma made. Emma had fallen asleep, so Greens left. Jackson arrived, and Ryan assured him he and Greens are not getting back together. Jack was skeptical, because Greenlee still loves Ryan. Ryan said they can't be together after the whole Annie/Emma thing, and being committed to Oakhaven — oh, could Jack help with that? Jackson agreed. "For the record, I will always love Greenlee," Ryan said. "That's what worries me," Jack replied, then left. Greens went to the boathouse, soon followed by Jake. They exchanged bad jokes, then she started crying. They shared their relationship woes, then momentarily considered hooking up — but realized it wouldn't work because their tastes in art are so different. After he was summoned to the hospital, Aidan showed up and boasted about his polygraph results. Greens told him she's not with Ryan. Aidan laughed: "I don't want you either."
David hid when Tad arrived at Babe's grave, and embraced Krystal. She vowed to "get through this." At the hospital, Angie took Brot for X-rays. Alone, Taylor sniffed Brot's jacket, and was thrilled to find the engagement ring inside. At Oakhaven, Annie stated singing "Silent Night," and fantasized about standing over Greenlee's corpse.
Angie and Jesse enjoyed their time together as the snow fell. Their
happy moment was interrupted by Rebecca, who was out of sorts. Frankie and
Natalia came inside after throwing snowballs at each other. As they all joked
around, Angie and Jesse were glad to see things starting to
come together. After they put the tree up, Natalia announced that she had a
box of ornaments from their home in Denver. Jesse told a story about how he
broke an ornament at a store and insisted on buying it. Rebecca apologized
to Angie for Natalia bringing the ornaments. Before Angie could say
anything, Rebecca broke down and tearfully told Angie she was afraid she
wasn't going to make it to Christmas. Cassandra called and told Angie she
wouldn't be coming for Christmas. A frustrated Angie lamented that the first
Christmas she and Jesse would share in twenty years was marred by another
family's memories. Natalia interrupted, crying out that Rebecca had
fainted and wasn't breathing. Angie and Frankie checked her out and Frankie
realized that she signed a DNR (A do-not-resuscitate order). Natalia begged them not
to let her die and Jesse asked Angie if there was anything she could do.
Zach and Reese rushed into the cabin. Zach lamented coming up with the idea
to cut a real Christmas tree. Reese tried to alleviate Zach's worries about
being stranded without the kids and not being able to get to Kendall. Reese
asked Zach to tell her about Kendall. Zach told Reese that Kendall was his
savior. He said that she had a lot of Erica in her. Reese implored Zach not
to give up on Kendall. Zach couldn't get Kendall out of his head and ran out
of the cabin. He came back in, freezing, and Reese tried to comfort him.
Krystal arrived at Wildwind. Krystal told David that whatever he did last
night worked and made her feel better. Krystal was angry with herself for
coming back for more. David told Krystal that things weren't getting any
easier for him. David drugged another beverage and gave it to Krystal. Before
she could down it, there was a knock at the door — Bianca's car broke down
and she needed shelter. David went to get Bianca something to drink but
Krystal offered Bianca hers! A drugged Bianca fed Gabrielle as she confided
that she was concerned about her relationship with Reese to Krystal and
David. She noted that she felt extremely relaxed before realizing her
insensitivity and asking how Krystal was doing. Bianca said she wished there
was something she could do for Krystal; Krystal said there was — she wanted
to hold the baby. Bianca happily complied. Bianca continued her stream of
consciousness before drifting off to sleep. Krystal got emotional as she
held the baby. Krystal told David she wished he could have been in Babe's
life more.
Taylor interrupted Brot and Jake. Taylor showed Brot the ring when he told
her to go away. Brot told Taylor that he has changed; Taylor broke down and
told Brot that it wasn't fair of Brot to take away the best memories of her
life. She challenged him to look her in the eyes and tell her that he never
really loved her. He walked off. She called Frankie and asked him to tell
Jake to call her.
Jake and Brot ran into each other in the elevator. Brot told Jake that
Taylor was all his. Jake barely had time to react when the elevator
stalled. Brot was annoyed, but Jake was glad that he would have some time to
convince Brot to stay in Pine Valley. The two argued about who was better
for Taylor and Jake told Brot that he didn't want to compete with the love
Taylor and Brot shared. Brot opened up about the explosion. Jake suggested
that Brot take a chance on Taylor as the elevator finally opened back on
Taylor's floor. Brot went to Taylor and told her that he wasn't the same
person he used to be. Taylor acknowledged his feelings and wanted to get to
know this "new" Brot. He agreed to let her in. Jake overheard the slowly
reuniting couple and walked away....
Tad asked where Krystal had been all night. She began to explain what happened, but they were interrupted when Tad got a call from a man in the Congo saying that Jeff and Jamie were missing. Tad passed the news on the Krystal, and rushed out to talk to Joe.
Frankie tried to explain to Natalia what was going on with her mother, while Angie berated herself for resuscitating Rebecca. David told Angie she'd have to explain herself to the ethics board and to take Rebecca off life support so she could die the way she wanted to. He insisted Joe would say the same thing. Natalia interrupted them, wanting to know what was going on, and Angie was forced to tell Natalia that she had an obligation to follow the wishes Rebecca made clear on her DNR. Natalia insisted they couldn't take Rebecca off the machine. Jesse consoled Angie and asked her to buy him some time so he could put Natalia at peace with what needed to be done. David brought Joe to talk to Angie, who agreed that Angie had put the hospital in a bad position. Joe said the ethics board was going to give her 24 hours to turn off the machines. After he walked away, Angie told David to go to hell.
Bianca came home to find Ryan with the kids, but no Zach or Reese. Ryan assured her they probably got caught in the snow, and he would call the highway patrol. At the cabin, Zach and Reese talked about their conversation the night before. Reese wasn't happy about keeping a secret from Bianca, and Zach said he understood. She said she still believed in hope and miracles, and they left to drive home. Ryan continued to try to reassure Bianca, and then Zach called, letting them know he and Reese were fine, and were bringing home a tree.
Tad filled Joe in on the Congo situation and told him he was going there. Joe asked him to be careful, and they said goodbye. Meanwhile David had happily heard everything. Tad went home and Krystal was not happy when he informed her of his plans. Regardless, Tad say goodbye to her and the girls and left. Krystal began to feel overwhelmed and a panic attack ensued. She called David and asked him to come over, which was clearly his plan all along. When he arrived, she filled him in on the situation with Tad. David fixed her a cup of his "special" milk, and told her she would be fine in no time.
Aidan and Greenlee saw Annie being prepared to move to Oak Haven, freaking out. A guilty Greenlee called Ryan to warn him. Aidan told Greenlee he'd gotten work in DC. Ryan and Emma arrived as they were hugging goodbye. After Aidan left, Greenlee took care of Emma while Ryan went to check on Annie. The doctor told Ryan they'd had to sedate Annie. When they wheeled her out she greeted Ryan with, "daddy." When it was clear she thought she was Emma, Ryan played along. Meanwhile, Emma overheard a nurse saying which room her mom was in and went running... Straight to Annie who she hugged and called "mommy."
When Zach and Reese finally got home, they explained what happened and Bianca said she had been stuck as well. Before Zach left to visit Kendall, Reese said she understood why he didn't want to tell Erica and Bianca about Kendall. Bianca told Reese she could tell she was worried. She explained she was just concerned about Zach, but Bianca thought she was lying. At the hospital, Zach walked into Kendall's room and watched his wife.
Randi visited Frankie at the hospital, and asked about Rebecca. She told Frankie about her memories of her mother's death, of how watching her mother's suffering made Randi pray for her death. After her mother died, Randi wondered if it was her fault. She wondered if Natalia was feeling the same kind of guilt. Angie came over and told them they had 24 hours. Jesse said Natalia was not budging. Angie insisted she would be the one to talk to Natalia. Natalia sat by Rebecca's bed and begged her to wake up. When Angie came in and insisted she had to say goodbye, Natalia accused Angie of wanting Rebecca dead.
Natalia lashed out at Angie, accusing her of wanting Rebecca dead. Frankie
came in and tried to explain to Natalia that Rebecca wouldn't wake up. Angie
lamented to Jesse that she made a horrible mistake. She nearly lost it,
wondering how Natalia would ever forgive her if she took Rebecca off the
machines. In Rebecca's room, Natalia expressed her fears to Frankie, who
implored her to have the strength to do the right thing. Frankie gave her
some time alone. Outside, he ran into Randi, who had coffee for everyone.
Frankie said she didn't have to be there, but Angie interrupted them and
told Frankie that Randi was a part of their family. Natalia came outside and
asked everyone to come with her; she was afraid to say goodbye alone.
Inside, everyone said their goodbyes to Rebecca. Frankie and Jesse promised
her that Natalia was in good hands. Angie thanked Rebecca for giving Jesse
back to her and promised her she'd never forget it. Natalia tearfully told
her mother she loved her. Angie took Rebecca off the ventilator ... but was
shocked when Rebecca began to wake up! Natalia ran to her mother's side and
Rebecca asked why everyone was there.
David dropped another pill into Krystal's drink. Krystal complained to David
about her problems with Tad as David encouraged her to drink up.
Feeling better, Krystal joked that his "miracle concoction" was
making her better. Kathy walked in and asked what David was doing there.
Krystal suggested David read Kathy a Christmas story. David questioned
Krystal about her relationship with Tad, and manipulated her into realizing
their bond. Krystal, David and Kathy read a story. Moved by
the little girl, David gave her a hug and teared up. Kathy told him
it was okay to cry — she sometimes cries about Aunt Julia. When Kathy went
upstairs, Krystal tried to comfort David, who was too upset and left. Back
at Wildwind, David looked at Babe's photograph and began to play the piano,
but was overcome with emotion and had to stop. Krystal showed up at the door,
and though David told her she should leave, she insisted she wouldn't leave until
he told her why he hated Christmas. David explained that all the people he
wanted to spend the holidays with were dead. After a quiet moment, the two
shared a kiss. When they pulled away, David asked Krystal to leave but
insisted he drive.
At the hospital, Zach sat by Kendall while Bianca confronted Reese about
lying. Reese challenged Bianca to try and read her mind. The two
dropped the issue and kissed, but Bianca was clearly still concerned.
Later, Reese called Zach and told him she couldn't continue to lie to
Bianca. Zach said he'd handle it — just as Bianca walked by. "Handle what?"
she asked. Bianca shared her concerns with Zach, who covered with another lie. She asked about Kendall, and he told her
that she had more color in her cheeks. Back at home, Zach, Bianca and Reese
played with the kids and decorated the tree. When they had a moment of alone
time, Bianca questioned Reese again. Reese was about spill the
truth when Zach walked back in. The mood lifted when they lit the
"Mommy!" Emma called out as she ran over to Annie and embraced her. A
confused Annie looked at Ryan. "...Mommy?" she uttered. Ryan explained to
Emma that Annie had to go to another hospital. Annie seemed to remember Emma
for a moment, but then asked Ryan... or "Daddy," to take her to school. Ryan
comforted her as she was wheeled off. Emma wanted to know why Annie was
acting so strangely. Greenlee comforted Ryan, who was beside himself.
Greenlee agreed to take Emma home, and Emma announced that Greens was the
best friend she ever had. At Oakhaven, Annie excitedly told Ryan how she was
looking forward to the first day of school. Ryan prepared to say goodbye to
his wife. Looking around her room, she asked Ryan where all the other
"students" were. Ryan hugged her and said goodbye. When the
attending came in to get Annie's bed ready, she got nervous and started
calling out for her father. Two attendings had to hold an agitated Annie
down. When she was alone, Annie compulsively whispered to herself "no
doctors, no doctors no doctors." Aidan walked in and promised he was
going to help her. Back at the penthouse, Ryan arrived home to find Greenlee
and Emma having a great time. When Greenlee went to leave, Emma asked her to
JR and Joe joked about David as they left the board meeting. They discussed
how David was getting involved in everyone's business. JR suggest he fire
him, but Joe explained that that would be a bad idea, considering David's
reputation as a doctor. Later, JR and the kids went to Krystal's, but she
was nowhere to be found.
JR caught Krystal and David coming into the house and laid into Krystal.
After David left, JR insisted she had to stay away from him. They argued,
and Krystal was surprised to find herself defending David. He warned her to
walk away while she still could, but she aid he made her feel better,
and thought he had changed. JR urged Krystal to fill Tad in
about this as soon as he got home, but Krystal said it wasn't going to
happen. If she didn't, he would, JR replied.
Aidan arrived in Annie's room and told her he was her daddy, not Ryan. When he
assured her he was going to protect her and keep her safe, she hugged him. They
played cards for a while, and Annie asked him to get her sweater from home. A
doctor caught him coming out of Annie's room, and asked who he was. Aidan
made himself sound confused, and another doctor walked up and confirmed that
Aidan was a patient‹ Mr. Stone. When the first doctor walked away, the other
said he'd never been bribed before to get in... only out. A nurse brought
Aidan medicine, which he faked taking, and brought him to his room. Soon, he
was back in Annie's room. Aidan tucked Annie in, neither of them realizing
they were being recorded.
A nurse mistakenly called Zach when Frankie requested a consult for Rebecca,
thinking Kendall was the coma patient that woke up. Zach and Bianca rushed
to the hospital. Alone at the house with the kids, Reese answered the door
and to hero her shock, found her father. He had come because
her "friend" had invited him to the christening. Inside, he met
Gabrielle. He said she was beautiful, like her mother. Reese pointed out that
Gabby looks like her other mother, Bianca, and that Bianca was the one that
carried her. She also told her dad that she and Bianca were getting married. He
quickly tried to change the subject, but she changed it right back and an
argument ensued. He told her how much he missed her, and asked her to come
home for New Year's with Gabby... but Bianca was clearly not invited. Reese
asked him to leave. Reluctantly, he left.
When Zach and Bianca arrived at the hospital they were devastated to find
Kendall's situation unchanged. The nurse came in to apologize, and Zach raged
that she would never work as a nurse again‹ he would have her license
revoked. He walked out of the room and overturned a cart. Jesse, Angie and
Frankie explained to Bianca what happened. After, Zach told Bianca he wanted
to be alone with Kendall. He imagined coming to the hospital
and being greeted by an awake Kendall.
Frankie apologized to Natalie for pushing her to take Rebecca off the
machines, and Natalie apologized to Angie for giving her a hard time. Randi
left for her photo shoot and Frankie went with her. When Angie was alone,
David approached her and asked what happened. She told him it was a miracle; he warned her if she pulled something like that again he would have her
medical license revoked.
Taylor ran into Jake at the hospital. When he asked about Brot, she told him
Brot needed space, so they'd been talking on the phone. The conversation got
awkward and Taylor eventually went back to her room. Jake headed to
ConFusion and ordered a drink.
Amanda set up for Randi's sexy photo shoot and reminisced about being with
Jake. When Randi arrived, Amanda and Frankie stood back and watched the
shoot. After, the photographer asked Amanda out and she turned him down.
David called asking for a progress report on JR, and she blew him off.
Amanda wanted to borrow the sexy dress Randi wore for the
shoot‹ she was going out that night. Later, Randi and Frankie exchanged I
love you's, and Randi thanked him for waiting for her to be ready for sex. She's worth it, Frankie smiled. Amanda ran into a drunken Jake at the bar while she waited for JR. He
made crude comments and continued when JR arrived. JR slugged him.
After being paged by Zach, David went to Kendall's room, where Zach demanded
David give Kendall the same miracle Rebecca had experienced. Zach asked if a
heart transplant would work, but David said Kendall wouldn't survive
the procedure. Zach swore he would never accept that Kendall was gone. Alone
with Kendall, Zach got crazy, telling Kendall to get up‹it was time to go.
Security had to escort him out.
The Hubbards and Natalia gathered in Rebecca's room, where Rebecca decided
that she would fight to live, but she would do it back in Denver. Angie
insisted she stay so they could get through it as a family.
Bianca went home and told an angry Reese about what happened. Her father had been there, said Reese. Bianca thought that
was great, but Reese was afurious that Bianca went behind her back and
contacted her parents.
