Nasogastric Tube Feedings at Home
What is a nasogastric (feeding) tube?
A nasogastric tube is a thin, flexible, soft tube that is passed through your child's nose (nostril), down the back of the throat, through the swallowing tube (esophagus), and into the stomach. It is taped under the nose to stay in place. A nasogastric tube is sometimes called an NG or feeding tube.
Why does my child need a NG (feeding) tube?
A nasogastric feeding tube is used to give fluids, food, and medicine when a child cannot take them by mouth. Reasons a child may need an NG include:
- problems with sucking, chewing, or swallowing.
- unable to get enough nutrition with a normal diet.
- unable to swallow needed medicines.
- to remove fluids and gas from the stomach.
- to prevent nausea and vomiting.
- to prevent pressure on stitches after surgery.
How is the NG used?
If the tube is needed for giving medicine, this is done using a syringe. For scheduled feedings, a syringe or pump may be used. For continuous feeding, formula is given using a pump. The pump controls the rate of fluid flow.
What is the feeding schedule?
Feeding method: _____________________________________________
Formula name: _______________________________________________
Total amount of formula per day: ________________________________
Total amount of water per day: __________________________________
Amount of each feeding: _______________________________________
Feeding Schedule: ____________________________________________
Flush the tube with _____ mL of water before and after each feeding
Other Instructions:
Do not make changes in the type or amount of formula without talking to your child's provider first. Provider to call:

After Hours Instructions: ________________________________
How do I give formula with a feeding bag?
- Wash your hands with soap and water for 30 seconds.
- Position your child sitting up if possible, or on the right side with the head of bed raised 30-45 degrees.
- Be sure the NG tube is in the stomach by looking at the placement of the tape, and measuring the distance from the nose to the tip of the tube. The tape should be in the same place as the last feeding. The measurement should be the same as the last feeding.
- Clamp the feeding bag tubing.
- Fill the feeding bag with formula.
- Close the cover tightly. Hang the bag at least 2 feet above your child's head.
- Open the clamp. Let the tubing fill until you see no air. Air in the tubing will not hurt your child, but will make your child's stomach feel full.
- Clamp the tubing.
- Connect the bag to the feeding tube.
- Open the clamp.
- Watch your child for any signs of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach swelling, or increased fussiness. Any one of these signs may mean that your child is not able to digest the formula at the rate it is running. If these symptoms occur, stop the feeding and contact your provider for instructions.
- When the feeding is done, fill the bag with the prescribed amount of water. If it isn't time to take extra water, be sure to flush the tube after each feeding with at least 10 mL of tap water so that it doesn't clog.
- Clamp or cap the tube. Disconnect the tube from your child.
- Clean the supplies by rinsing the bag and tubing with cold water. Then, swish them in warm water and a drop of liquid dishwashing soap. Rinse thoroughly so that all of the soap is removed. Hang to dry.
How do I give formula with a syringe?
- Wash your hands with soap and water for 30 seconds.
- Position your child in a sitting position, or on the right side with the head raised 30° - 45°.
- Check placement of the NG tube using the method described in step 3 above.
- Remove the plunger from a 60 mL syringe. Connect the syringe to the feeding tube.
- Hold the syringe upright and pour the formula into it.
- Hold the syringe 10-12 inches above your child's head. Allow formula to be delivered by gravity over 20-30 minutes.
- Keep filling the syringe as it empties until the entire amount of formula is given.
- If the feeding should stop, you may use the plunger of the syringe to give a gentle push to get the feeding going again.
- Give the prescribed amount of water to flush the tube.
- Clean supplies as above (#14).
Can I give medicines through the NG tube?
- Medicine can be given with a syringe through the feeding tube.
- It is best to use medicine in a liquid form. If you must take pills, be sure to thoroughly crush and dissolve pills in warm water so they do not clog the tube.
- Give each medicine separately. Do not mix medicines together or mix with formula.
- NEVER crush enteric-coated or time-release capsules. If you have questions about which medicines can be crushed, please talk to your pharmacist or health care provider.
- Flush the feeding tube with 5 mL of water after each medicine is given, and 10-20 mL of water after all medicines are given to be sure they get into the stomach.
- Do not add any medicines to formula in the feeding container.
How do I check the placement of the feeding tube?
The most important part of caring for an NG at home is checking that it is in the correct position (i.e. sitting in the stomach) before you put anything down it. The feeding tube should be marked where it exits the nose after the first placement. This mark should not change over time. Use a tape measure to measure the distance from where your child's tube exits the nostril to the end cap of the tube. Record this measurement every time you use the tube, or every 4-6 hours during a continuous feeding. If the mark moves, and the tube has slipped, call your provider before using the tube. Another way to tell if the NG tube is in the stomach is to attach a syringe to the end of the feeding tube and gently pull back. There may be fluid in the syringe and/or tubing that looks like formula, or clear green to yellow fluid. Return this fluid to the stomach. If you do not obtain fluid, it may be a sign that the tube is not in the stomach. Contact your provider before using the tube.
The securing tape should be changed every other day, or when it is loose, so that the NG tube stays secure.
Babies and children who need the tube for a long time at home will need to have the tube replaced at times. This normally means your child will need to return to a provider to have the tube replaced. Do not try to reinsert an NG tube if you have not been trained to do so. If you are going home with an NG tube, you need to have a clear plan in place before leaving the hospital. This plan should include who to contact and what to do if the tube moves or comes out. Any adult caring for your child will need education on how to care for the tube and how to feed your child. Please ask your nurse for more information.
If your child's nose is sore, move the tape to a different place on the nose. The tape may also need to be changed if it is coming loose. This is a good time to clean the skin under the tape. Be careful not to let the tube slip out.
- Wrap or swaddle your child in a blanket, or have another person hold your child's arms so the tube cannot be pulled while you are caring for the site.
- Wash your hands with soap and water. Dry well.
- Prepare your supplies – tape, cotton-tipped swabs, water, soap, and lotion.
- While carefully holding the tube, remove the old tape.
- Use a cotton-tipped swab moistened with water and soap to clean the edges of both nostrils. Rinse thoroughly. Pat dry.
- Look inside the nostril where the tube is to check for any redness, pain, or sores. You may put a small amount of lotion or Vaseline® in the nostril to prevent irritation.
- Secure the tube to the nose by wrapping a narrow piece of tape around the tube in each direction. Secure the other end of the tube to the cheek on the same side of the face where the tube exits.
- If you feel your child is having pain, you note a sore area, or the tube has come out, tape the tube down. Do not use the tube. Contact the provider who is ordering the feedings to get further instruction.
What is a residual, and how do I check for it?
The "residual" is the amount of contents remaining in your child's stomach from the previous feeding. The residual is checked before a feeding to make sure your child is not too full before another feeding is given. To check for a residual:
- Place an empty syringe on the end of the feeding tube.
- Pull the plunger back to withdraw stomach contents.
- Measure the amount of residual on the syringe. Your provider will discuss with you how much residual is appropriate for your child.
- Return the stomach contents to your child.
- Flush the tube with 5-10 mL of warm water to prevent clogging.
- If the residual is more than recommended for your child, delay the feeding for 30 minutes, and then check the residual again.
What can I do while my child is being fed?
Feeding time is a special time for babies. Babies enjoy being held closely, cuddled, rocked, or talked to during tube feedings just as if they were being fed by mouth. Hold your baby, and encourage the baby to use a pacifier during feeding to practice sucking and swallowing. Toddlers will need to stay in one place, so playing a game or doing a quiet activity may be useful. Older children can sit at the table with the family and receive a tube feeding while the family eats a meal.
More information about feeding tubes
1. What should I do if the tube is blocked?
If the tube won't flush, try using warm water. Gently flush 10-15 mL of fluid through the tube. Do not use carbonated beverages, juice, or vigorous pressure to unclog the tube. If the tube still will not flush, call your nurse or doctor. Flushing the tube before and after giving medicines, after intermittent feedings, and every 4-6 hours during continuous feedings will prevent this problem.
2. What should I do if the tube is leaking?
If the tube is cracked or leaking, the tube will need to be replaced.
3. What should I do if my child is vomiting?
- Call your doctor if vomiting persists after 1 day. Vomiting causes a loss of body fluids, salts and nutrients.
- Do not give a feeding if your child is vomiting.
- Check the residual. It the residual is higher than recommended, delay the feeding. Recheck the residual every 30-60 minutes until the residual is low enough to start the feeding.
- Give feedings in an upright position to decrease the chances of vomiting.
- Try smaller, more frequent feedings, being sure that the total amount of feeding for the day is the same as what is ordered.
- Try to slow the rate of the feeding.
- Have your child rest after each feeding. But, do not let him or her lie down flat during the feeding and for 1 hour after a feeding.
- If your child develops difficulty breathing during or immediately after a feeding, stop the feeding and call your provider. It is possible your child may have inhaled formula or stomach contents into the lungs.
- Infection may cause vomiting. Clean and rinse equipment well between feedings.
- Do not let formula in the feeding bag hang longer than 8 hours.
- After the formula can is opened, the can should be stored in the refrigerator until used.
- If your child has nausea and vomiting, your provider may recommend changing the feedings temporarily. Follow your provider's instructions about feeding during illness.
4. What should I do if my child has diarrhea?
Diarrhea is frequent loose, watery stools. Diarrhea can be caused by giving too much feeding at once, running the feeding too quickly, unable to tolerate the type of formula, spoiled formula, or infection. Some medicines can cause diarrhea. Some children have loose stools with changes in formula, medicines, or feeding routines.
- Avoid hanging formula for longer than 8 hours.
- Keep opened formula in the refrigerator for no more than 24 hours.
- Slow the feeding rate or give smaller amounts of formula more often.
- Give more water after each feeding to replace water lost in diarrhea.
- Call your provider if the diarrhea does not stop after 1 day.
5. What should I do if my child becomes dehydrated?
Dehydration is a loss of water and fluids from the body. Dehydration may occur for a variety of reasons – diarrhea, vomiting, fever, or sweating for example.
- Signs of dehydration include decreased or dark urine, crying with no tears, dry skin, fatigue, irritability, dizziness, dry mouth, weight loss, and/or headache.
- Extra water may be given after each feeding to replace water lost.
- Call your provider if you notice signs of dehydration.
6. What should I do if my child becomes constipated?
Constipation may be caused by certain types of formula, changes in formula, medicines, or feeding patterns, or not enough water. Give more water flushes throughout the day, especially during hot weather. If constipation becomes chronic, contact your provider.
7. How do I bathe my child with a NG in place?
Bathe your child as is normal for the age and developmental level, as long as the NG tube is not submerged under water.
8. What should I do if my child has gas, bloating or cramping?
Be sure there is no air in the tubing before attaching the feeding tube.
9. Why is oral care still important?
Good mouth care is essential for overall health. Your child should have their teeth, gums and mouth brushed at least twice a day using a soft toothbrush or sponge brush even if he/she is not eating by mouth.
10. What to do if the tube is out of place
If the tube is longer in the stomach, call your provider or Home Health Nurse. Do not use the tube. You will need to have a new tube placed. If the tube is pulled out during a feeding, stop the feeding immediately, and contact your Provider to have the tube replaced.
11. When should I call my child's provider?
- Your child has trouble breathing.
- Your child turns blue.
- You see blood around the tube, in your child's stool, or in stomach contents.
- Your child coughs, chokes, or vomits while feeding (stop the feeding if this occurs during feeding).
- Your child has a bloated or rigid belly (belly feels hard when it is gently pressed).
- Your child has diarrhea or constipation.
- Your child has a fever of 100.4° F or higher.

LOL.<quoted text>
You are being disingenuous. The real teachings of JW's included not only those that referred to the possibility of the end in 1975, but those that also referred to it as a PROBABILITY.
The rank and file cannot be blamed for the conclusions that were reached. 1975 was dreamed up by the Watchtower Society along with other past dates. It was a dud as were the others.
So when did Ezekiel ever say "Jehovah will PROBABLY make his name known?"
Sure! The word PROBABLY in on the lips of every highly esteemed Bible prophet!!!
Apostle John: "And a beast with seven heads will PROBABLY rise out of the sea!!"
Too funny ;o)

Quotes from Gossip Girl
Serena van der Woodsen (Blake Lively)
Season Five
Episode List
Yes, Then Zero
Serena: Marshall, remember when you said I could observe filming one day before the shoot was over?
Marshall (Ethan Peck): Shoot's not over 'till next week.
Serena: How did you guys end up here? And who's boat is this?
Nate: This is Allegra Versace's. Chuck won it in a poker game in Chiang Mai. He won Allegra too, but that's another story.
Serena: Woah. Usually when you smile like this you look like a creepy Cheshire Cat. But this one is real. What is your secret and if it's legal I want some.
Chuck: It's not a substance. It's a state of mind. A word.
Serena: Let me guess, a dirty word.
Chuck: "Yes".
Serena: Yes, it's a dirty word?
Chuck: The word is Yes. I say it at anything. If an opportunity presents itself I take it. There's nothing I won't try once. Even happiness.
Nate: He's very inspiring. I've been saying all summer he should run an infomercial.
Blair: The first meeting was a disaster, S! He conceded to Sophie on everything. It was so out of control you would have thought he was Italian.
Serena: Well finding a balance between your mother and your fiance has got to be tough. I'm sure he's just trying to keep the peace the best he can.
Blair: Stop being so rational and trying to see both sides. I haven't even told you the worst part yet. They want me to wear Sophie's dress. Not just on the day, but in Vogue Paris too. Hand-me-downs are for charity and second children.
Jane (Michael Michele):Serena. Are you looking for marshall?
Serena: No, you actually.
Jane: I hope it's to tell me why you didn't follow up after our first meeting. I didn't scare you away, did I?
Serena: No no, I just didn't want to step on Marshall's toes.
Jane: Why not? Keeping him on them is what David hired you to do. If it weren't for you, he wouldn't have even read the book.
Serena: Wait, have you seen my friends? {cue Chuck jumping up off a building}
Serena: Oh! I forgot to ask you, how was the audition?
Nate: Well after I told them I wasn't an actor, they said that's too bad because you'd be perfect as a kid from an East Coast political family who's constantly manipulated while trying to keep everyone around him happy. They told me that.
Nate: Sometimes I wish I could just reinvent myself. You know?
Serena: Well you've come to the right place. Everyone in Hollywood reinvents themselves.
Marshall: I need this job more than you do, okay? I paid for my life. I have student loans, rent, a car lease. I can't afford to get fired.
Serena: And I can?
Marshall: You're Serena van der Woodsen. You do one lap around this party you'll get ten job offers. You weren't even looking when you found this one.
Serena: If I wasn't so intent on proving my worth I wouldn't have fallen for it. But I did. I'm sorry. You can tell Jane I'll clear out my desk in the morning.
Chuck: Serena, you accepted responsibility without hesitation for maybe the first time in your life. And Nate, you had more fun not being you than you've had actually being you. Which means you now know you need to change.
Serena: Is it just me, or is what he saying actually making sense?
Nate: Maybe we're not awake yet.
Chuck: Nate, I know you think I must be dying inside because Blair is marrying another man, but we let each other go. So stop doing stuff like this and start focusing on yourself. And you. Even though this part of your journey may have come to an end, it showed you there's a world out there that you never knew existed. One you want to be a part of.
Serena: Have you ever thought about writing a book?
Chuck: People like me don't write books, they're written about.

Dan: No, she's not speaking to me.
Charlie/Ivy: I get that working for this producer is a huge opportunity, but what about Columbia?

The Jewel of Denial
Serena: Woah. That is not the look of a girl in an Empire state of mind.
Charlie: Last week at Grandma's was great, but I don't know. I think it was a mistake to come back.
Serena: Stop worrying about your mom. Cece won't tell a soul you're here.
Charlie: What about Blair or Dan or... everyone else. I don't think they'll be thrilled to find out the psychotic freak is back in town.
Serena: Please. This place is a mecca for psychotic freaks. Everyone goes off the rails at some point around here. It's practically a rite of passage on the Upper East Side. It's our version of a Bar Mitzvah.
Serena: Mom, I saw her myself. She's fine. I promise.
Lily: Well that's not for you to decide. Carol is her mother and I'm not going to participate in deceiving her.

Memoirs of an Invisible Dan
Serena walking in: Okay, I'm pretty sure this is how every murder mystery begins.
Blair: So. now that this unnecessary meeting about America's future doorstop is adjourned, do you want to go grab a cup of decaf?
Serena: I would love to, B, but I'm already late for work. I've gotta get back.
Blair: Well maybe after work then.
Serena: If this is about the book, don't worry. Everyone loves a villain.
Dan: I wouldn't say there's a villain, per se.
Blair: Well I can tell you who isn't.
Serena: Come on, every girl needs to be knocked off her pedestal a little. Can't handle that kind of pressure. I'll see you later.
Sam: We got an advance copy of this new book by some anonymous New York insider and everyone in town is trying to figure out who.
Serena: Well I know who. I used to date him.
Sam: Shut up. No way! You're Sabrina? The dreamy blonde with the legs.
Serena: I guess I am.
Sam: Did you actually have cases of champagne delivered to your school?
Serena: Is that what he wrote? A friend was pulling a prank on me.
Sam: But it actually happened?
Serena: That was in high school. Keep reading. You'll see I mature as he gets to know me better.
Sam: I told him that you're Sabrina. I hope that's not a problem.
Serena: No, not at all. It's nice to play such a big part in Dan's book. We've always been close.
Sam: Ugh. He must have been a saint to put up with you that long.
Sam: There's this novel going around town with this character based on Serena. Sabrina is a totally shallow self-obsessed party girl. Yes, I finished it.
Serena: Aren't you being a little reductive?
Jane: And ridiculous. Daniel lives on a farm in Ireland, his cow's probably giving birth right now. And everything isn't about Serena.
Serena: "Flighty"? "Irresponsible?" I'm gonna kill him.
Serena: Hey, do you know where Dan is? Can you believe what he wrote about me?
Chuck: Which part? Sabrina is glamorous, sexy, beautiful.
Serena: Selfish, insensitive, shallow.
Chuck: I can tell you from experience, everyone loves a villain.
Serena: Yeah, I told Blair the same thing. But then I realized if that's true, why are you always alone?
Blair: Not one word! Have you seen Dan?
Serena: No, have you?
Both: Did you see what he wrote me?!
Serena: No, I didn't have time to read all of it. Just the parts about me.
Blair: Me too.
Chuck: Check the study.
Serena: I could lose my job over this.
Blair: I could lose my fiancée.
Serena: Is this what you've been trying to tell me all day?
Blair: No, because it never happened. {to Louis} It never happened!
Louis: I don't believe a word you say! You said yourself that Dan has no imagination.
Dan: Okay, thanks. But Louis, it didn't happen.
Dan: I'm sorry you're not hurt.
Serena: No, not hurt. Mystified. In high school, you were the only one who saw me for who I really was. Or who I wanted to be. You helped me be somebody that I was more proud of.
Dan: I didn't know.
Dan: If you can't tell the difference between what I did to Blair and what I did to you, then maybe your portrayal in the book is more accurate than you thought.
Serena: That sounds exactly like something Dylan Hunter would say.
Blair: I wish I was telling you this at a better time, but... I'm pregnant.
Serena: What? Oh my gosh, Blair! That's amazing. Wait, that's good news, right?
Blair: Well I was happy. So happy. But now, what if I'm in this alone.
Serena: No. You're not alone. Ever.
Jane: I want this book.
Serena: Well here it is.
Jane: I want the movie rights to this book.

The Fasting and the Furious
Serena: Hey. Jane.
Jane: Did you lock up the film option for Dan's book yet.
Serena: No, I just finished reading it unfortunately.
Jane: Need I remind you this is your chance to make up for blowing the Daniel Day Lewis deal.
Serena: No reminder necessary. I'm on it.
Serena: I may have overreacted about how you portrayed me in the book.
Dan: Thank you so much. You know I have to admit it's been kind of hard. My dad and Nate and Blair still won't talk to me.
Serena: Well things are looking up then. One down, three to go.
Dan: Never thought you'd be the first.
Serena: I am full of surprises. You know that.
Serena: Hey Jane. I swallowed my pride and outrage and did what you asked. We should have Dan's book later today.
Jane: Why are you gossiping when a deal you're running point on is falling apart on live television?
Serena: I'm sorry. This is Blair, my best friend. I figured maybe she could help.
Jane: This isn't high school. This is my business. I told you not to embarrass me.
Blair: I have an idea for you: quit. Your boss is a bitch. Let's go to lunch.
Serena: My job is important to me, B. You have six months to deal with your problem. I have six minutes to deal with mine. Goodbye.
Jane: Maybe your good friend F. Scott Fitzjackass {ugh} had you nailed in the book. If something doesn't fall right into your lap, Serena, you don't have a clue how to work for it.
Serena: I followed Jane all the way done to her town car apologizing, and even then I don't think it was enough. Thank you for waiting.
Dan: I didn't want to. You scared away everyone, and now no one wants the book.
Serena: Dan—
Dan: Your apology this morning was just strategic, wasn't it?
Serena: Yeah. Pretty much.
Serena: I finally finished the book.
Dan: I told you, it's not you. Yes, there are parts of you. And Daisy Buchanan. And Amy March. And Gwyneth Paltrow. Five different roles she's played. But it's a novel. It's inspired by a lot of things. It isn't speaking to some deeper truth.
Serena: Are you sure? Because I know this may sound crazy or selfish or... like I'm living in the past or something. But you were the love of my life, Dan. I don't know, I just thought I was yours too.
Serena: When you told me you were pregnant I said that I would be there for you, no matter what, and I haven't been. And I'm sorry.
Blair: Well you had a work crisis.
Serena: Yeah, but the truth is I was jealous.
Blair: Well if it makes you feel better marrying a prince isn't what fairytales would lead you to believe.
Serena: No, that's not what I was jealous about. You're the star of Dan's book.
Blair: Well as I said, it's pure fiction.

Serena: So Mr. Screenwriter, are you ready for your first development meeting?
Dan: I think so. As long as you guys don't want to change the ending. Or the beginning. Or all the stuff in the middle.
Jane: We'd love if you could open up the world of the Upper East Side a little bit more.
Natalie: Rich people are so hard to like. Maybe you could add someone more relatable.
Dan: I thought I did that already.
Serena: I think Dan is referring to his main character, Dylan Hunter. He'll appeal to everyone. He starts off as an innocent from Brooklyn.
Jane: Who quotes Hawthorne and screens Fellini films? I don't think so.
Dan: Whatever Jane sent you here to say, why don't you just say it.
Serena: Well we both think that you should waive your right to write the script.
Dan: Why would I do that?
Serena: Because if you write it your project will be stuck in development hell.
Dan: But how can I guarantee that she's not just going to screw it up?
Serena: Because I won't let her. She may not know this world, but I do. And I will protect your story and you.
Gossip Girl: Careful, S.
Dan: I have your word?
Serena: You have my word.
Gossip Girl: Everybody knows the road to hell is paved with good intentions. And shady bosses.
Jane: Inside will be the next Social Network. We're gonna Zuckerberg him.
Serena: Jane, this is unfair.
Jane: I prefer to let the audience decide what's fair or not.
Serena: Dan is not like that. Why don't I put a dinner on the books for all of us and this way you'll see.
Jane: The next time I see Dan will be at Cannes when I'm shaking his grateful hand on the dais.
Serena: I gave Dan my word that I would protect him. He's one of my best friends. Please, don't do this to him.
Jane: It's already done. And you know what? I'm taking you off this project. Effective immediately. Like Dan you're just too close to it.
Diana: Jane and I have history. She doesn't always like to be reminded of it, but it's been awhile since I did.
Serena: What kind of history?
Diana: Some things are best left to the imagination. So, how bad do you want your problem to go away?
Diana: Aren't you tired of swimming in Gossip Girl's fishbowl?
Serena: Well I'd have to do it my own way.
Diana: I'd expect nothing less.

The Big Sleep No More
Charlie: Maybe it's none of my business but it seems that if you want people to read you then you need people to read about you first. Get Gossip Girl's attention. Even a date would do it. Then steal her thunder by telling the real story on your blog.
Serena: You know you may be an evil genius.
Charlie: When I want to be.
Serena: Why are you looking for Chuck?
Blair: I have no choice! He's trying to destroy my relationship with Louis because he knows it's vulnerable.
Serena: I'm pretty sure the only war Chuck is waging is with his own demons.
Serena: B. Whatever you're thinking, stop. Just work on your relationship with Louis. And let Chuck work on himself.
Diana: This is exactly why we need to work together on your blog. So Gossip Girl loses her power.
Serena: Or I just develop a thicker skin.

Serena: Look, Nate, you need to put your feelings for Diana aside and think of the ramifications for releasing this. This would do way more harm than good.
Nate: But it's our smoking gun.
Serena: That's gonna shoot you, me and all of our friends in the foot.
Serena: I'm not usually one for speeches, but I have to say how lucky I am to have Blair Waldorf as my best friend. I maybe the maid of honor, but the true honor is just knowing you, B. There is simply no one like her, no matter how hard some of your try. Congratulations to the beautiful bride. You have become the strong, confident princess I always knew you would. I love you so much and wish you and your prince nothing but happiness.
Blair: You know Louis was right. None of us here are really friends. We just pretend to be so we can get stuff to talk about behind each other's backs.
Serena: B, I'll admit that I saw the web page but I had nothing to do with it coming out. I actually did every I could to stop it and I thought I succeeded.
Blair: Well if you didn't do it then who did?

Rhodes to Perdition
Max (Brian J. Smith): Why would you trust an anonymous baker when you have a master chef in your midst? You could be my sous for the afternoon.
Serena: Could we cover ourselves in flour and lick spoons and do other cute things?
Max: That's a prerequisite.
Serena: I see you two have found each other. No need for introductions, right Max. And Ivy.
Charlie: Serena, this isn't what it looks like.
Serena: Oh, so you two didn't used to date?
Charlie: We did.
Serena: And you didn't pretend like you've never met?
Max: We did.
Serena: And you didn't try to convince me not to see him again because he may still be hung up on his ex, Ivy?
Cece: Enough! This is my granddaughter Charlie Rhodes. I was there the day she was born, she is my family. I don't need any proof. I know it in my bones.
Serena: You should go before we call the police.
Max: Just remember, I warned all of you.

Riding in Town Cars with Boys
Dan: I'm starting to understand the appeal of heroin or womanizing or whatever it is that writers do when they can't write.
Serena: It's hard to find inspiration when you're not trashing your friends, huh?
Dan: Well at least I don't have the added pressure of it being turned into a movie. So thank you for that.
Serena: That's great about the second print of Inside. You'll be able to figure out the afterword.
Dan: I'm not so sure though. I've never been stuck like this before.
Serena: What? It seems like an amazing opportunity to see how the book changed you, how it changed everyone.
Dan: Did it really change anyone?
Serena: Yes! Seeing where our characters ended made us realize exactly where we didn't want to be. nate didn't want to be half a person and now he's running The Spectator. And Chuck went from dying alone to therapy.
Dan: What about you?
Serena: Well I thought I'd change my ending by getting the job with Jane or this blog, but the truth is I'm still making horrible decisions in my love life.
Serena: You know the truth is I don't think I ever got it right before Dan. Or since then. Besides Nate he's probably the only good guy I've ever dated.
Serena: Telling her your feelings is not going to change your ending, it's just going to mess with hers.
Dan: Well listen, the fact is, this doesn't concern you at all. I'm going to talk to Blair. And even if it's the biggest kami kaze disaster of my life, it's my disaster—it's my ending. So please, stay out of it.
Serena: What's he doing?
Nate: Looks like he's helping Chuck and Blair finally be together.
Dan: You were right. She didn't need my confession, she needed my help.
Serena: Wow. That's a really amazing thing to do, Dan.
Dan: Yeah well. It wasn't easy. But I do think that I can give myself a new ending by making sure Chuck and Blair get the ending they deserve. I want her to be happy.
Dan: So what do you want to do?
Serena: I want to finish what Diana started. I want to take Gossip Girl down for good.
Nate: I'm with you. I think we should use The Spectator to do it.

The End of the Affair?
Serena: I hope you're coming to the Spectator party tonight.
Dan: After Nate finally forgave me for diminishing him to half a Derek in my book? I'm not going to miss this chance to support him.
Nate: Serena, there are thousands of unread messages here.
Serena: Yeah. I hoped if I ignored them long enough people would get the point. I guess they haven't.
Nate: If you don't start posting them they'll go back to Gossip Girl. Or someone worse.
Serena: My blog is about my own experience, not using information to hurt people.
Nate: Yeah, well the least you can do is read them.
Serena: I hope you'll focus on getting your fiancée to come to the party tonight. She could really use a night out with people who care about her.
Serena: B. What's going on? I feel like we've barely talked since you got back.
Blair: Wedding planning has been all-consuming.
Serena: You've had your wedding planned since you were twelve. Whatever it is, you can tell me.
Serena: That's why you cut Chuck out of your life? B, that nurse wasn't an angel.
Blair: I know that. But... one minute he was dead and then I made a promise and he was alive.
Serena: That wasn't a miracle. That was modern medicine.
Blair: There's no way out of it. If anything ever happened to Chuck I would feel like it was my fault. I made a vow to marry Louis and that's what I'm going to do.
Serena: You can't base the rest of your life on one desperate moment. God doesn't punish people for being in love.
Dan: I swear to you, we are not having an affair.
Chuck: Then what the hell are you doing?
Serena: He's having a relationship with me.
Serena: The photos of Dan and Blair made me realize it's not the secrets that cause the problems, it's the assumptions that people make about them.
Nate: So are you saying what I think you're saying?
Serena: Yeah. I'm going to go through all the emails and see if there's a positive way from me to use what's in them.
Nate: You know what that means. You're basically the new Gossip Girl.
Serena: New and improved.

Father and the Bride
Dan: This fake relationship is costing me a lot of money. I know that Blair asked us to stay together to keep Louis from getting suspicious, but I mean coffee in Brooklyn is half the price and it tastes better.
Serena: Well haven't you learned if you want the world to think you're doing something you have to do it on Madison Avenue. And eight dollar cappuccinos are the price you pay.
Simon/Schuster Guy: Your fans are crying out for a sequel to Inside. Frankly, so's your publisher.
Dan: Yeah, I mean I don't know who's interested in hearing that story anymore.
Simon/Schuster Guy: Well your girlfriend Serena's article about you two went up less than an hour ago and there are already over a thousand comments.
Dan: Um. Yeah, I was really hoping to stretch on this one.
Simon/Schuster Guy2: Then take a yoga class.
Simon/Schuster Guy: Write about what you know. And keep on dating Serena. At least until the next book comes out. It's great press.
Serena: You wanted to see me?
Nate: Yeah. You're fired.
Serena: Are you kidding?
Nate: You went behind my back and launched your column when I told you we weren't ready.
Serena: Oh, we weren't or Gossip Girl wasn't? I saw her email.
William van der Bilt: I think we've heard enough. Thank you, Nate.
Nate: Oh, don't thank me, thank Serena. It was her idea.
Tripp: What the hell's going on?
Nate: Well we knew you wouldn't admit to anything so Serena and I staged that little argument on Gossip Girl. We figured you'd try to pin the accident on someone else just like you did two years ago when you left Serena in that car.
Serena: Did you really think I'd talk to you again? Never mind take your side against Nate's.
William van der Bilt: You were really going to try and pin this on Maureen?
Nate: I'm not pinning anything. It was Maureen.
Dan: While we're alone, there's something I need to say.
Serena: Are you fake breaking up with me?
Blair: I know Louis loves me, but sometimes I wonder if he understands me. But reading this is exactly what I needed to go into our wedding sure of my choice.
Serena: Can I be a little jealous?
Blair: You may.
View all quotes from Father and the Bride
Dan: Once Blair and Louis say, "I do" then Serena and I can say we don't anymore and go back to just being friends.
Rufus: Well at the very least this whole thing is probably a distraction from any Graduate thoughts you might have.
Dan: With Blair? No, any thoughts of her running off with me are long gone. If anyone's in danger of pulling a Braddock, it's not me, it's Chuck.
Dan: "Mrs. Grimaldi"? What is going on, is this happening?
Serena: Well it better be, otherwise all those commemorative plates are for nothing.
Serena: How does it feel to have everything you've ever wanted?
Blair: You tell me. I saw you with Humphrey this morning. Has all that fake connection sparked a real one?
Serena: Not exactly.
Blair: Serena van der Woodsen! You didn't tell him I said you could stop pretending?
Serena: I just thought, what's the harm in waiting until the wedding?
Blair: The harm is that you are falling further while he has little to no clue.
Serena: No one is falling anywhere.
Blair: I saw how you were looking at him this morning.
Serena: B, are you sure you feel right about all this? Because I am totally prepared to make a run for it with you if that's what you want.
Blair: I have made peace with my decision. And so should everyone else.
Serena: I know that it scares you and I know that it's a risk, but don't enter into a false life just because you're scared to face the real one.
Blair: Despite everyone's protestations I'm going through with this. Serena, will you please tell everyone I'm ready to begin.
Serena: Chuck, wait.
Chuck: Don't worry. I'm leaving.
Serena: No, that's not what I was going to say. You need to know something. Something that if Blair knew I was telling you she'd probably never speak to me again.
Serena: I think I may have just done something really bad.
Dan: What'd you do?
Serena: You expect us to believe you were just an innocent bystander?
Georgina: I never said I was innocent. I just like to watch. And while I love our annual showdowns as much as anybody, if you're looking for someone to blame for what just happened you've got the wrong girl.
Serena: Come on, Georgina.
Georgina: Sure I made the video Gossip Girl played, but I didn't send it in. I left my camera with Chuck thinking he'd show the Prince and they'd have a duel at dawn for what's left of Blair's virtue. Or maybe some royal fisticuffs. Whatever those are.
Serena: About before—
Dan: Oh, you mean what Georgina said? Forget it, she's crazy.
Serena: No, I owe you an explanation.
Dan: Okay. Go ahead.
Serena: I'm sorry I lied and made you carry on our... whatever it was longer than we had to.
Serena: Nate was right about grand gestures. We all need to make them in our lives. So here's mine: I love you, Dan Humphrey. Always have, always will.
Dan: Serena.
Serena: No. You don't have to respond now.
The Backup Dan
Eleanor: Serena, Blair seems happy, doesn't she? With Louis?
Serena: Of course. I mean she loves Louis. She's a Princess now so, you know, as soon as that soaks in she'll be beyond happy.
Serena: Dan said Blair left with Louis. Maybe we're overreacting.
Georgina: You're not. Dan's lying. He's gotten pretty good at it too.
Serena: I'm sorry Blair wasn't here. I know you were hoping she'd run to you.
Chuck: I should have known it wasn't her. I need to make peace with the fact that it's over. Whoever released that video killed whatever chance I had with her.
Serena: Oh my god, Blair wants a divorce.
Dorota: That is my hope. Before I was locked in closet, Mr. Louis was calling and calling. He said he want to find Miss Blair and get her help she needs. Which in romance novels means locking her forever in tall tower.
Blair: It was you who sent in that video to Gossip Girl?
Chuck: And set me up to take the fall.
Serena: Yep. Yeah, fine. It was me who did it. But I did it for the two of you.
Blair: You ruined my wedding? For me? I know you never believed in my pact, but this wasn't your choice to make.
Serena: I didn't do it to hurt you, Blair. But you choosing to run away with Dan, knowing how I feel about him and not telling me any of it, that hurt too.
Dan: Are you really mad about Blair or is this about us, about what you said at the wedding, because I haven't given you an answer yet?
Serena: You just did.
Dan: If you're looking for Serena, she's on her way back to the city.
Blair: I was looking for you. I want to apologize. Everything you said was right. I could never have survived this last month without you. I also know you wrote those vows.
Dan: Well, you know, Louis asked me to. I just tried to write down what I assumed he would love about you.
Blair: Well you did a great job. It's pretty obvious you care way more about me than Louis. As a friend of course.
Dan: Of course.
Blair: And I care about you too. Even if I have odd ways of showing it, like bossing you around or making fun of your hair. Seriously, you should cut it already. Thank you for helping me. And I really am sorry for maxing out your credit card and not reading your book.
Dan: Listen, you have much bigger problems to deal with. Speaking of, what now?
Blair: I know what I have to do. But I just need to know that you'll be there for me.
Dan: Always.

Crazy, Cupid, Love
Blair: I will not allow us to go on living like this together. The way I see it, I am mad at you for sending out that video of me and Chuck to Gossip Girl and you are mad at me for running off with Dan, so they cancel each other out. Actually, yours was way worse—I only needed a ride—but the point is—
Serena: Blair, I didn't release the video to Gossip Girl.
Blair: You took the fall for us?
Serena: It seemed like the right thing to do at the time.
Dan: Blair's trying to set me up with Serena, which reminded me I didn't exactly have a great time in high school. So I'm not eager to relive it.
Nate: Before you say no, think about this. There's gonna be grown women here dressed like school girls.
Dan: I know, I'm sorry. I can't make it. If it makes you feel any better I will totally sign your yearbook.
Nate: No, it doesn't.
Blair: I sent Serena to look for you. Am I just setting her up for disappointment?
Dan: Do you really want us to get back together?
Blair: I just want you to be happy. Tell me what would make you happy, Dan.
Dan: That kiss, it wasn't like last year. You kissed me back. I felt it.
Blair: It doesn't matter what you think you felt. Because Serena's my best friend and I would never do anything to hurt her. I'm sorry if I gave you the wrong impression. Have a Happy Valentine's Day.

Despicable B
Lily: I know! We'll have a big family dinner her tonight to celebrate our victory in court. And I'll invite a reporter from the New York Social Diary to dispel all the rumors of family strife.
Serena: You think the way to handle this is by inviting the media into our home?
Lily: I'll find a way to get Rufus here. You bring Lola.
Serena: I just found out that Lola's not my cousin but she's my sister. Which means Dad was having an affair with Carol while you were still married.
Lily: How did you hear this?
Serena: Well Dad lied to me about being out of town and then I saw him with Lola. And then Nate just told me that Lola spent the morning with her father.
Lily: Well there still could be some other explanation.
Serena: No, no, this is the explanation. It explains everything. Carol hiding Lola from us, hiring Ivy to be her. You know in your heart that this is the truth.
Lily: I want you to put this out of your mind, plaster on your best happy face and go get ready for the party. Will you do that for me?
Serena: If that's what you want.
William: I'm sorry for not being truthful with you today. And for cheating on your mother all those years ago.
Serena: That's between you and mom. But you lied to me today to protect Lola. You left me when I was four years old, and when I tracked you down you wouldn't even see me. All I ever wanted my whole life was a father and all you ever did was avoid me. And now when you find out about Lola you just rush to be by her side. Well you broke my mom's heart. And now you just broke mine.

Raiders of the Lost Art
Dorota: Miss Serena, all you do all day is type type type. You take laptop with you everywhere. It not healthy.
Serena: Well after last week's family meltdown, this laptop is the only thing keeping me sane. Writing is my new outlet. You should be happy for me.
Dorota: If you say so. But Vanya say same thing about Warcraft and then DSL bill comes.
Chuck: Diana lied to me. She's not my mother. I think she's covering for my father. Well, my real father Jack.
Serena: Chuck, I'm so sorry. I didn't know.
Chuck: That book is the only chance I have at tracking Jack down.
Serena: Well what can I do?
Blair: Be with us, not against us.
Serena: You have me, one hundred percent.
Serena: Why would you help me?
Lola: You ever heard the expression, "The devil you know"?
Serena: This isn't my first rodeo.
Lola: No but it's mine. And it's awesome.
Serena: My computer's gone.
Lola: Gossip Girl. She took it.
Serena: What? How do you know that?
Nate: Because we set you up.
Serena: The old Gossip Girl hurt people but I'm different.
Nate: No you're not, Serena. Just look at what's happened to you. You've cut yourself off from everything and everyone you care about. That's not right.
Serena: Neither is tricking me.
Nate: Yeah, well go ahead and blame me but I did this to help you. Not to hurt you. Either way it's over, the real Gossip Girl is back.

The Fugitives
Blair: Guess what I found out this morning?
Serena: B, I know what you're going to say. But first I really want to tell you—
Blair: Dan turned down the opportunity to spend the summer in Rome with the world's literary luminaries. And do you know why? Because he's scared of leaving me here with Chuck. Can you believe it?
Serena: Sort of.
Blair: I mean the most important thing in a relationship is trust. After sex. And hygiene. And earning potential. Wait. What did you think I was going to say?
Serena: Ah... I mean, it's not important. Nowhere near as important as Dan and Italy and his trust issues. We should get coffee and you should tell me more about it.
Blair: Wait. Okay, using a very generous grading curve and rounding up—because I like your outfit—that lie was a C+ at best. What is going on?
Serena: Something I've been wanting to talk to you about for awhile now. I've been posting on Gossip Girl as Gossip Girl. For a couple of months now.
Blair: What? How is that possible?
Serena: When Georgina left town she gave me her laptop and it had a direct link to the Gossip Girl server, passwords, the software, everything.
Blair: S, you had me at Georgina, but I can't believe it. Why didn't you tell me?
Serena: I don't know. I felt like it was something I had to keep secret from everyone. I mean, my best friend even. I know it was wrong and I'm so sorry.
Blair: I mean I could have helped. Sealing fates, forging destinies. Like an imperious Greek goddess. Imposing her will on the guileless masses. But I was wondering why Gossip Girl was being so nice to me lately. And a little off her game. No offense.
Serena: So you're not mad?
Blair: I am furious with you! For not sharing your good fortune and omnipotence. But right now I have to go replace my mother's La Mer before she returns from Paris and discovers I've used it all.
Blair: I'm with Chuck.
Serena: B.
Blair: No it's not like that. He needs me. He's going through an extremely difficult time right now.
Serena: Yeah, of course he is. Especially if it means taking you away from Dan to be with him. And you just told me Dan is having trust issues.
Blair: I know, but this is life or death. And other than not being able to say where I am, what I'm doing or who I'm waiting for, I honestly have nothing to hide. Well Dan needs you too and you can't be two places at once.
Serena: You're right. I'll be right there. Whatever news he has I'm sure it won't take that long to relay.
Serena: What was Dan's big surprise?
Blair: It was more of an ambush. He got into this writing program in Rome and he wants me to go with him the entire summer.
Serena: How dare he! Blair, that's amazing.
Blair: I told him I had to check my calendar to buy some time to think.
Serena: What's there to think about? Rome for the summer sounds like a dream.
Blair: Not for Romans. The whole place will be crawling with Americans.
Serena: And you can be two of them.
Blair: But it's a big decision. And spending last summer at Louis' side I was hoping to do my own thing.
Serena: So your indecision has nothing to do with Chuck?
Blair: Absolutely not. My concern for him at this time is about something entirely unrelated.
Serena: Which you can't tell me about. B, I hate being out of the loop.
Chuck: What have you done?
Serena: Okay, someone has to tell me what's going on here.
Nate: We couldn't let her get away without any consequences. She's done nothing but deceive all of us, including you. It just wasn't right.
Lola: Yeah, we're sorry we messed up your deal but this was beyond business. It was personal.
Chuck: You have no idea how personal. I made that deal with her so she would help get my father out of hiding.
Serena: Your father. You mean Jack.
Chuck: Bart. He's alive.
Dan: Where the hell is Blair? If she didn't want to go to Rome with me she should have just said so.
Serena: Something came up.
Dan: Is she with Chuck?
Serena: No, of course not. She's with Eleanor. But she knows how important this is and she really wants to go. So she sent me in her place.
Dan: You're not really helping.
Serena: I don't know. He just said we made an interesting couple.
Dan: Not in a good way.
Blair: Thanks S. You really are my best friend.
Serena: I love you, B.
Blair: I love you too.
Serena: Speaking of which, think it's time to tell Dan how you feel about him?
Blair: He told you about that? I'm not ready. I really want the next person I say it to to be the last.

The Return of the Ring
Blair: It's bad enough you read my diary, but to publicly expose my naked thoughts is unconscionable.
Serena: B, I was never going to publish them. I just wanted to know I could. I was upset about you and Dan. And I'm so sorry. I never thought Gossip Girl would steal my computer with everything on it.
Blair: Well I took Dan's phone so he wouldn't see anything but I'm just postponing the inevitable if she keeps releasing pages.
Serena: I wouldn't worry about Dan. He's a writer. He knows that diaries are all about exploring thoughts. Like all those terrible things you said about me. That's not how you really feel.
Blair: It is now.
Serena: Just be the bigger person and don't read any of them. Stay off Gossip Girl, okay?
Serena: You knew how important that job was to me. And I was on the verge of getting another one.
Blair: Summer job on a film set versus exposing all my secrets. No, I'm not sorry.
Blair: "I'll never love Chuck again after what he did tonight. He's a monster. He deserves to be alone forever." I was waiting for that one. You happy now? Now that I'm as alone as you are?
Serena: I'm only alone because of you. You had your prince and you had Chuck. You didn't need to take Dan too.
Blair: I didn't take Dan. That's not how relationships work. You would know that if you'd grown up at all since high school.
Serena: Oh come on, Blair. You're the one that can't move on. You're still in love with Chuck and you still won't admit it.
Blair: Get out! I mean it. I want you gone for good. Pack your things.
Serena: You can't hold me responsible for everything bad in your life.
Blair: I can. Because you are. The best time I ever had was when you were gone six years ago. Leave your key with Dorota.
Serena: Blair's dirty work can wait.
Penelope: She fired me. I'm on the way to meet everyone at Michael Jordan's Steak House for the Shepherd's divorce party.
Serena: Alright, well there's been a change of plans. You're not going to that. And neither is Blair. And you and your friends are going to see to it.
Gossip Girl: That's the problem with hired help. They'll work for anyone.
Serena: You look just as beautiful in black as you did in white.
Serena: Don't you see, Dan? The Blair that you're in love with isn't the real Blair. It's the one you created in your book. And she's always loved Chuck. She just used you to get between us because she knew that I loved you.
Dan: I'm busy.
Serena: I never meant for you to get caught in the crossfire of my battle with Blair. I deleted the video so no one knows about it and no one got hurt. And please don't act like you're innocent here. I mean it was mutual. We both used each other.
Dan: I was trying to escape my own pain and you were trying to destroy your best friend. Those are two different things.
Serena: I'm sorry for how it happened, but I love you Dan. And I don't think that you would have done what you did if you didn't still have feelings for me. And now there's nothing standing in the way of us.
Dan: Serena, there is no us. There's only you. And now that our parents are splitting up I never have to see you again.
Zeke: I'm Zeke, by the way.
Serena: I don't care what your name is.

An angel from above arrives on a mission to transform a spoiled college girl into a caring young woman in this contemporary variation on the Christmas Carol story starring Keshia Knight Pulliam, Tom Bosley, and Pooch Hall. To wealthy college girl Layla Turner (Knight-Pulliam), Christmas is all about overstuffed gift bags from Bloomingdale's and the best jewelry that money can buy - but this holiday season promises to be a real eye-opener. When an angel in disguise walks into Layla's life and shows her the true meaning of the holiday season, the girl who once scoffed at off-brand names gradually begins to realize that there's more to Christmas than designer labels. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Touched by an Angel: The Sign of the Dove
Angel of Death Andrew (John Dye) is unhappy about his latest assignment, which requires him to "collect" young Ben Mason, the last member of a venerable Virginia family, on Ben's wedding day. As his Heavenly predecessor Adam (former series regular Charles Rocket) listens sympathetically, Andrew relates Ben's family history, which is intewoven with an old inn called "Sign of the Dove", once a major link of the Civil War-era Underground Railroad. Meanwhile, Andrew's fellow angel Monica (Roma Downey) tries to talk Nicholas Freeman (Richard Lawson) out of committing suicide--an assignment that turns out to be connected with the foredoomed Ben Mason. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Terry McMillan and Ron Bass wrote this screenplay based on McMillan's semi-autobiographical best-selling novel (over 2,000,000 copies in print before the release of this film). San Francisco stockbroker Stella (Angela Bassett), a 40-year-old divorcee, has a nice Marin County home and an 11-year-old son, Quincy (Michael J. Pagan). With Quincy off to see his dad, Stella and her best friend Delilah (Whoopi Goldberg) vacation in Jamaica, where she meets sexy, good-looking Winston Shakespeare (Taye Diggs). He's the man of her dreams in every way except one -- he's half her age. Even so, a romance develops. Grammy Award-winning songwriters Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis supervised the film's music and produced the R&B-slanted soundtrack album. Shown at the 1998 Urbanworld Film Festival (NY). ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

The Cosby Show: Pam Applies to College
Despite her less than stellar performance in high school, Pam (Erika Alexander) is determined to go to college. Both her friend Charmaine (Karen Malina White) and her guidance counselor Mr. Bostic (Richard Lawson) gently try to persuade Pam that her chances of being accepted by the same college that will take Charmaine are within the "slim to none" range, but our heroine is not about to be confused by the facts. Meanwhile, Cliff (Bill Cosby) suffers yet another home-repair mishap, while Olivia (Raven-Symone) is continually sidetracked from her school show-and-tell project. This is one of a handful of episodes in which none of the Huxtable children appear. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Forgotten
The Forgotten deserves at least a small niche in TV history as the first-ever TV movie made especially for the USA cable network. Based on a story by Vietnam veteran Paul Staples, the film concerns six American Green Berets, held for 17 years in a Vietnamese POW camp. They are finally released in secret, during a delicate trade-talk session between Vietnam and the United States. Keith Carradine, the ex-prisoners' CO, begins to suspect that government-man Stacy Keach, who is in charge of the debriefing, may be pursuing a hidden agenda that will result in the early deaths of Carradine and the five men under his command. Stacy's brother James Keach directed Forgotten and also co-wrote the script with another of his stars, Steve Railsback. First aired April 26, 1989, The Forgotten set the "viewer discretion" standard for all future USA TV movies with its grim flashback sequences depicting the torture methods of the NVA. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Under the Influence
Under the Influence is a TV movie about an alcoholic, scripted by recovered alcoholic Joyce Rebeta-Burdett. Andy Griffith plays the head of an outwardly respectable New England family. Griffith drinks heavily, but the rest of the family sweeps his addiction under the rug. When Griffith lands in the hospital, he must come to grips with his illness--and the rest of the family must stop lying to each other and to themselves. Under the Influence is remarkable not only for the intelligent, unsensational handling of its subject, must also for Andy Griffith's convincing portrayal of a New Englander. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Burt Reynolds directed and starred in this actioner from an Elmore Leonard novel about an ex-con living dangerously close to the drug traffickers in Miami. When Stick (Reynolds) arrives in Miami just out of prison, an old buddy of his is murdered, sending Stick on a wild and complex journey to track down the killers. Along the way, he meets the attractive Kyle (Candice Bergen), has to deal with Chucky (Charles Durning in a blond wig and loud tourist shirts), a mob go-fer, and the albino Moke (Dar Robinson). In order to better zap his enemies, Stick gets a job as chauffeur to rich Palm Beach underworld figure Barry (George Segal) -- and the plot coils and twists from there until the bad guys get their due. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

In this sprawling television miniseries, originally aired in May 1983 on NBC, a race of seemingly human-like aliens arrive en masse on Earth. These "Visitors" promise cooperation and friendship -- then launch a clandestine takeover of the planet by accusing the entire scientific and medical community of conspiring to destroy them, then finally "benevolently" seizing power. Inspired by Sinclair Lewis' It Can't Happen Here, a 1935 account of a fictional fascist takeover of America, V uses a huge ensemble cast and an elliptical method of storytelling to trace the contact between humans and the Visitors, from the arrival of 50 giant flying saucers in low Earth orbit to the first major victory of the underground resistance that opposes the aliens. Major characters include Mike Donovan (Marc Singer), a television cameraman who leverages his experience filming in various war-torn locales to help expose the Visitors' true nature; news anchor Kristine Walsh (Jenny Sullivan), his sometime girlfriend, who allows her ambitions to cloud her journalistic judgment and becomes a pawn of the alien invasion; Juliet Parrish (Faye Grant), a young biochemist who finds herself thrust into the role of resistance leader; Abraham Bernstein (Leonardo Cimino), the patriarch of a Jewish family divided between the lessons of the Holocaust and the need to survive; Elias Taylor (Michael Wright), a petty thief who joins the resistance after the Visitors kill his doctor brother, Ben (Richard Lawson); and Robin Maxwell (Blair Tefkin), the surly eldest daughter of a scientist (Michael Durrell) who finds his family the target of harassment and intimidation. The Visitors, who assume common human first names as their monikers, include supreme leader John (Richard Herd); sultry science and security officer Diana (Jane Badler); hunky Brian (Peter Nelson); and gentle Willie (Robert Englund). V was written and directed by Kenneth Johnson, who initially envisioned the project as a less fanciful story of fascist aggression; when his pitch to NBC seemed to be faltering, Johnson allegedly added the alien angle extemporaneously, securing himself a green light and NBC a sweeps-week hit. The success of V spawned a second miniseries, V: The Final Battle, and a weekly TV series that lasted 19 episodes from 1984 to 1985. Johnson ended his association with the world of V halfway through production on the second miniseries, but his work on the Alien Nation TV spin-off years later would resurrect many of the themes of V. Actor Singer was already known to sci-fi fans as star of The Beastmaster, while Englund would go on to portray Freddy Krueger in countless Nightmare on Elm Street films. ~ Brian J. Dillard, Rovi

With Poltergeist, directed by Tobe Hopper, Steven Spielberg had his first great success as a producer. Released around the same time as Spielberg's E.T., the film presents the dark side of Spielberg's California suburban track homes. The film centers on the Freeling family, a typical middle class family living in the peaceful Cuesta Verde Estates. The father, Steve (Craig T. Nelson), has fallen asleep in front of the television, and the dog saunters around the house revealing the other family members -- Steve's wife Diane (JoBeth Williams), sixteen-year-old daughter Dana (Dominique Dunne), eight-year-old son Robbie (Oliver Robins), and five-year-old Carol Ann (Heather O'Rourke). Soon strange things begin to happen around the house; the pet canary dies, mysterious storms occur, and Carol Ann is summoned to the TV set, where a strange shaft of green light hits her and causes the room to shake ("They're he-e-ere!"). As curious events continue, Carol Ann is repeatedly drawn to the television, where she begins to talk to "the TV people." Soon Carol Ann is sucked into a closet, disappearing from this reality plane. Unable to find his daughter, Steve consults Dr. Lesh (Beatrice Straight), a para-psychologist from a nearby college. Lesh finds that paranormal phenomena is so strong in the Freelong household she is unable to deal with it and sends for clairvoyant and professional exorcist Tangina (Zelda Rubinstein) to examine the house in hopes of finding Carol Ann. Tangina makes a horrifying discovery: Carol Ann is alive and in the house, but is being held on another spectral plane. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

The Golden Moment: An Olympic Love Story
Some sort of Bad Timing Award must surely be bestowed upon the otherwise worthwhile Golden Moment: An Olympic Love Story. David Keith stars as American athlete Wayne Robinson, whose main goal in life is to win the Olympic Decathlon. His dream is compromised when he falls in love with Soviet athlete Anya Andreyev (Stephanie Zimbalist), sparking an international
cause celebre
. First shown in two parts on May 25 and 26, 1980, Golden Moment was timed to coincide with the telecast of the 1980 Olympics--from which the United States had just withdrawn! Even with this working against it, the film performed reasonably well in the ratings, and also managed to pick up an Emmy nomination for best sound mixing. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Jericho Mile
Director Michael Mann co-wrote the teleplay for The Jericho Mile with Patrick J. Nolan. Peter Strauss stars as "Rain" Murphy, serving a life sentence in Folsom Prison for first-degree murder. To break up the boredom of prison life, Murphy begins running laps around the prison recreation track. Prison officials take notice when Murphy runs a mile in less than four minutes. They lobby to enter Murphy into the Olympics, an act of largesse that not only pulls Murphy out of his misanthropy but also helps to unify his racially divided fellow prisoners. Originally telecast March 18, 1979, The Jericho Mile was filmed on location at Folsom Prison, with several inmates playing small roles--and talking the talk of prisoners, never mind the TV censors. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Streisand plays Hillary Kramer, a bankrupt perfume executive who discovers that one of her tax write-offs from more prosperous times was the ownership of prizefighter Kid Natural (Ryan O' Neal). Kid Natural is now a driving instructor who wants nothing to do with boxing, but Hillary is determined to resurrect the Kid's less-than-spectacular boxing career. She installs herself as the Kid's manager and tries to get him in shape to go the distance. Along the way, the two fall in love. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Charleston is a brazen rip-off of Gone with the Wind which premiered over NBC on January 15, 1979--one month before CBS' planned telecast of Wind. Delta Burke, who was an unknown in 1979, very nearly remained that way in the role of post-Civil War Southern belle Stella. As Stella fiddle-dee-dees around in an effort to raise the tax money to maintain her mansion, her faithful ex-slave Minerva (Lynne Moody) runs the household with an iron hand (that must hurt). Also lurking about is Stella's cousin Valerie (Patricia Pearcy), who squanders her own savings in an effort to find her missing husband. This is the sort of film in which the aggressively urbanized actor Mandy Pantinkin plays a corn-fed character named Beaudine Croft. Martha Scott, the only "name" actor in Charleston, is wasted in a peripheral role as Stella's mom. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Hal Ashby's 1978 melodrama examines the impact of the Vietnam War on the "war at home" among the men who fought it and the women in their lives. Left alone in Los Angeles when her gung-ho Marine husband Bob (Bruce Dern) heads to Vietnam in 1968, proper wife Sally Hyde (Jane Fonda) decides to volunteer at the V.A. hospital where her new friend Vi (Penelope Milford) works. There she meets Luke Martin (Jon Voight), a former high-school classmate and Marine who has returned from 'Nam a bitter paraplegic. As their relationship grows, Sally sees the effect of the war on the soldiers after they come back, inspiring her to rethink her priorities; Luke's spirits begin to lift, and a hospital tragedy helps focus his anger toward meaningful protest. After a Hong Kong visit with her increasingly withdrawn husband, Sally finds a love and companionship with Luke that she had never known with her husband. Once Bob comes home with his own injury, however, the three must find a way to deal with a changing world and with a system that betrayed the men fighting for it. ~ Lucia Bozzola, Rovi

Audrey Rose is a "thinking man's" horror film, which in a way is unfortunate, since it tended to be ignored amidst the many spell-it-all-out scarefests of the late '70s. Marsha Mason and John Beck play Janice and Bill Templeton, a happily married couple, the parents of well-adjusted preteen Ivy (Susan Swift). Their family security is disrupted by the arrival of a mysterious stranger, Elliot Hoover (Anthony Hopkins). At first mistaken for a potential child molester, Hoover explains that his obsessive interest in young Ivy is actually paternal. It is Hoover's contention that their daughter is the reincarnation of his own child, who died in a horrible accident. This information is dismissed out of hand-and then strange things begin happening. Directed by Robert Wise (who had previously helmed the psychological thriller The Haunting), Audrey Rose was adapted by co-producer Frank de Felitta from his own novel. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

All in the Family: Mike, the Pacifist
Much against his will, Mike accompanies Archie and Gloria on a subway ride. In the course of events, he is forced to slug a wife-abusing passenger (Wynn Irwin), who tried to assault Gloria. As the passenger threatens legal action, peace-loving Mike broods over the fact that he was pushed into violence -- while Archie, who's "seen it all" on previous subway excursions, smiles knowingly throughout the incident. Also in the cast is Nita Talbot as the obstreperous passenger's wife, William Pierson as a wino, Richard Lawson as a black passenger, and Gerry Black as the conductor. Written by Phil Doran and Douglas Aragno, "Mike the Pacifist" first aired on February 12, 1977. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

When he attempts to change his life, the mobsters kills his wife and Leroy goes out to seek his bloody revenge. The film contains much action but generates little real interest because the characters are lifeless and the plot trite. Black Fist was also released as Homeboy and Black Streetfighter. ~ Linda Rasmussen, Rovi

US CENSUS 2010The U.S. Census counts every resident in the United States, and is required by the Constitution to take place every 10 years.The U.S. Constitution mandates us Census to count everyone, including both citizens and non-citizens. US Census followed this mandate, since the first census in 1790. The Framers of the Constitution made it clear they wanted "all inhabitants" of the country counted in the U.S. Census, and every Presidential Administration since that time that has overseen a Census has interpreted the Constitution and the laws require everyone be counted.The 2010 Census will help communities receive more than $400 billion in federal funds each year for things like hospitals, Job training centers, Schools, Senior centers, infra-structure works, Emergency services.The data collected by the census also help determine the number of seats a state has in the U.S. House of Representatives. In March of 2010, census forms will be delivered to every residence in the United States and Puerto Rico. Just answer the 10 short questions and then mail the form back in the postage-paid envelope provided. If we don't mail the form back, we may receive a visit from a census taker, who will ask us the questions from the form. Any personal data we provide is protected under federal law When we all answer the Census, our needs are heard.Visit www.census.gov for more information. |

The boaties have a carnival on 3rd December & have invited the junior club to run the BBQ for them.
We did this for them last year; it's a big effort but worth it – the juniors get to keep all profits from the BBQ on the day.
As it happens there is a Sydney Water Carnival event on the same day, and many of our usual organizers and helpers will be at another beach, so I have put my hand up to organize the boaties BBQ.
Now, what I need is volunteers from the juniors to help out on the BBQ on Saturday 3rd December.
I will need 4 or more people on the BBQ at any one time – maybe more at the busy lunch time & end of competition time – probably around 4pm.
Start will be around 6:30 or 7am and the finish will be when we run out of supplies or buyers – about 5pm, I think.
So, if we could get volunteers for a few hours throughout the day it would be great. Please phone or email me – Col Moodie 0419 104 197 & email@example.com

Age UK creates a new charity division
- Monday, 30 January 2012
Age UK has announced the creation of a new division which brings together its Influencing and Services work.
The move is designed to respond to an external environment in which the need to integrate research, policy creation and service delivery is needed now more than ever – for example in the current debate over the future of social care or the impact of spending cuts around the country.
Michelle Mitchell, to date the Charity Director of Age UK, will lead the division in the newly created role of Age UK Charity Director General. The role will lead all Age UK charitable work in England and sit beside equivalent roles heading Age UK's Retail and Fundraising Divisions and Age UK Enterprises.
She said: "This is a really exciting role to be taking on at a time when the interplay between service delivery and policy formation in many key areas for older people in England is so close and so crucial. Many of the traditional assumptions as to how services are delivered to older people are now being questioned and Age UK needs to be at the heart of that debate shaping both the policy of decision makers and also adjusting the services it provides to fit in with a changing landscape."
A Director of Services reporting to Ms Mitchell will be recruited soon.
The Influencing Division contains Age UK's Policy, Campaigns, Research, Media and Public Affairs departments. The Services Division provides services to older people, their carers, families and friends. These services include information and advice, health and well-being, home services and helping to ensure that more people are digitally included.
Before becoming Charity Director for Age UK in April 2009 when the charity was formed by the merger of Age Concern and Help the Aged, Ms Mitchell was Communications Director for Age Concern England. She was previously Chair of the gender equality charity, Fawcett (2005-2008).
Heléna Herklots, currently Age UK Director of Services, will join Carers UK as Chief Executive in February. She leaves after 11 years with Age Concern and then Age UK.
Tom Wright, Chief Executive of Age UK said: "Heléna has made a huge contribution to Age UK and we are very sorry to see her leave. The opportunity to join Carers UK as chief executive at such a momentous time for social care reform is however exciting and our two organisations will be working closely over the coming months to achieve the changes to the care system that are urgently needed."
Age UK has also welcomed Caroline Abrahams as Director of External Affairs. Caroline joins Age UK from Ed Ball's office where she was Chief of Staff after working as Ed Ball's special advisor while he was Secretary of State for Children and Families. Her previous experience includes being Director of Policy and Strategy for the National Children's Bureau and the Local Government Association.

Not much to look at and mildly uninspiring, Dancing Fox is 15 feet of intense climbing requiring lock offs, body tension, and picking good holds from bad. Choke during the crux sequence and the Dancing Fox turns into the clumsy hippo. Mimicing many problems at Moe's Valley, this route is just a little too tall for a pad. Named after numerous fox sightings, this sly little line is often empty and offers fun, dynamic moves. Favoring most body types, grade consensus is varied. Either way The Dancing Fox remains solid just above and below it's grade. Long hard moves, a steady selection of pockets, and a mid-route impasse are all fine factors on this quick, steep tick.
This is the first and shortest route on the left side of the cave. Its between Turtle Soup and Pinching Bird Shit.
Three bolts to a chain anchor.
This is a good project (or an onsight) if you like bouldering at Moe's Valley.
Nice boulder problem. It's an easy onsight! It contains 1 crux and its like a v3 or v4.
