The U.N. climate office said it reviewed all the national commitments submitted by Paris pact signatories until July 30 and found that they would result in emissions of planet-warming gas rising nearly 16% by 2030, compared with 2010 levels.

    I’m wondering if MTS has mirrored her character and had a bit of a drinking problem that has changed her voice. In that flashback, Nikki had a very sweet voice. Now her voice is more gravely. Drinking can do that to you but the benefit of the doubt goes to the aging process.  

    I often felt that MTS played up the little girl voice in her early days of Y&R (and it worked for her character and SLs), and as the years have gone by she's gradually returned to her natural speaking voice.

    Of course Abby, the selfish one, hires a nanny on the spot without anyone’s input. Just a strong feeling and not even a call to previous employees.

    Considering TIIC didn't show us the hiring process, we are to assume that Abby used a reputable employment service to do the standard background/vetting process.

    All the feelz were provided by Abby.

    Quote

    Come on writers, can you please call what’s going on in Mariah’s mind as PTSD mixed with postpartum blues. Mariah is suffering from the trauma of being held captive and the hormonal change after giving birth. It’s my own feeling that pumping breastmilk and not breastfeeding is contributing to Mariah’s mental state. Mariah breastmilk is being used but Mariah is not feeling the joy of the suckling baby she gave life.  By Abby insisting on breastmilk, she is being selfish, insensitive, and cruel.  I’m not against breastfeeding but it would have been more warranted if Abby was doing the breastfeeding. 

    Mariah explained it best; everything in her screams to mother Bowie and it physically hurts not to act as his mother. 

    Leaving is the best course of action. Abby's plan to keep Mariah and Bowie together but separate, was foolish. If Abby must have Bowie on breastmilk, contact the La Leche League to buy collected breastmilk, and let Mariah dry off so those hormones can stop contributing to her PTSD.

    What surprised me was that Nina and Ashley know exactly what it's like to have their baby taken from them, yet only Ashley acknowledged Mariah's torment. Jack had compassion, but thinks Mariah can bury her sadness in work like he pretends to do.

    After Mariah ran out of the house, why didn't someone call Sharon to let her counselor-ship know Mariah was having an emotional crisis? After all Sharon's the only concierge counselor available to fuck up an emotional situation in Wisconsin ... Silly me. Sharon was licking her wounds after being outed as a fraud by Connor. 

    Rev. Darvon of the Church of the Magic 8 Ball was utterly useless in helping Mariah. He couldn't even help her take her bags out to the car. What a Putz.

    Quote

    Question:  Not being a Christian, I’m trying to decide if the baptism was performed by a Catholic Priest because of his collar and robes.  Was he a Catholic Priest?  TIIC didn’t mention any specific religion only in God’s Church as a Christian. 

    Have no fear, Waldo. There was no official Roman Catholic sacrament demonstrated, and scant Christian rigmarole either. The minister is another interwebs member of the Church of the Magic 8 Ball, Rev. Darvon presiding.  

    Quote

    I know it’s all make believe but for filthy rich people, that was one heck of a cheap ass christening party. No food, no decorations, no commemorative party favors, etc.  You would think that TIIC would find some way to at least dress up a doll in christening outfit which would be costly in Abby’s style. 

    It was a little cheap-looking, but in keeping with the budgetary constrains of Y&R for the last 4 years -- Perhaps using the church window backdrop, baptismal font and day player minister is all we should expect.  There were champagne glasses and wine bottles of ginger ale, the cupcakes did a drive by.

    <shrug>

    So much for the sanctity or well wishes of a baptism.

    Quote

    When I read in the episode description that Mariah makes a heart breaking decision I got a very bad feeling that Mariah and Tessa where going to break up   for Mariah to have time alone. But than I realized that in some small area of the TIIC’s small heart, they would not break up the only truest and lovable couple in GC.  Than it hit me that Mariah could be moving out with Tessa because Mariah can’t cope with being Bowie but NOT “being” with Bowie.  I’m so happy that’s Mariah’s heartbreaking decision and Mariah giving us a master class in acting. For me there is nothing wrong with giving a person their own special nickname and sometimes that nickname is transferred to other people calling that person by their nickname.  I have a nickname that one of my grandchildren gave to me and now all my grandchildren and children call me by my nickname.  It’s not important for me to be called Father, Dad, or Grandpa. To me be called by my nickname is more endearing.

    Only a moron would break up Mariah and Tessa; they're so good together. Besides they're the only lesbians on Show. One would have to leave town, and the other retrun to hetro-status in order to keep the couples parade marching on, or some nonsense like that.

    Give on the nickname Waldo.

    Quote

    Talking about master classes in acting, we also have distractors to distract us from their bad acting. Nostrils has his nose, Banana Breath has his snarl, Rodan has her animation and arm waving, Summer has her lips, Kyle has his hair, Rey has his smugness, Sharon has her dead eyes, and Olive has her eyebrows.  I’m not going to pick on Faith and Moses because they are basic newcomers and have time to improve. 

    It's too bad TIIC have to turn everything into a crisis or bomb detonation, but Camryn Grimes was wonderful. Her pacing and emotional control saved her final scene from becoming a maudlin mess of whining and crying. You could feel her primal loss in every pause she took in the dialog.

    Other than Peter Bergman, there's no one on Show that come close to her emotional depth, talent and skill.

  4. Jane Powell, Hollywood golden-age musicals star, dies at 92

    Jane Powell, the bright-eyed, operatic-voiced star of Hollywood’s golden age musicals who sang with Howard Keel in “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers” and danced with Fred Astaire in “Royal Wedding,” has died. She was 92.

    Powell died Thursday at her Wilton, Connecticut, home, longtime friend Susan Granger said. Granger said Powell died of natural causes.

    “Jane was the most wonderful friend,” Granger said. ”She was candid, she was honest. You never asked Jane a question you didn’t want an absolutely honest answer to.”

    Granger was a youngster when she met the then-teenaged Powell, who was making her film debut in 1944′s “Song of the Open Road,” directed by Granger’s father, S. Sylvan Simon.

    She performed virtually her whole life, starting about age 5 as a singing prodigy on radio in Portland, Oregon. On screen, she quickly graduated from teen roles to the lavish musical productions that were a 20th-century Hollywood staple.

    Her 1950 casting in “Royal Wedding” came by default. June Allyson was first announced as Astaire’s co-star but withdrew when she became pregnant. Judy Garland was cast, but was withdrawn because of personal problems. Jane Powell was next in line.

    “They had to give it to me,” she quipped at the time. “Everybody else is pregnant.” Also among the expectant MGM stars: Lana Turner, Esther Williams, Cyd Charisse and Jean Hagen.

    Powell had just turned 21 when she got the role; Astaire was 50. She was nervous because she lacked dancing experience, but she found him “very patient and understanding. We got along fine from the start.”

    “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers” proved to be a 1954 “sleeper” hit.

    “The studio didn’t think it was going to do anything,” she recalled in 2000. “MGM thought that `Brigadoon’ was going to be the big moneymaker that year. It didn’t turn out that way. We were the ones that went to the Radio City Music Hall, which was always such a coup.”

    The famed New York venue was a movie theater then.

    Audiences were overwhelmed by the lusty singing of Keel and Powell and especially by the gymnastic choreography of Michael Kidd. “Seven Brides” achieved classic status and resulted in a TV series and a Broadway musical.

    “Blonde and small and pretty, Jane Powell had the required amount of grit and spunk that was needed to play the woman who could tame seven backwoodsmen,” John Kobal wrote in his book “Gotta Sing Gotta Dance: A Pictorial History of Film Musicals.”

    After 13 years at MGM, though, Powell quit the studio, reasoning that she was going to be fired “because they weren’t going to be doing musicals anymore."

    “I thought I’d have a lot of studios to go to,” she said in 2000, “but I didn’t have any, because no one wanted to make musicals. It was very difficult, and quite a shock to me. There’s nothing worse than not being wanted.”

    She found one musical at RKO, “The Girl Most Likely,” a 1958 remake of “Tom, Dick and Harry.” Aside from a couple of minor films, her movie career was over.

    She was born Suzanne Lorraine Burce in Portland, Oregon, in 1928. She began singing on local radio as a small child, and as she grew, her voice developed into a clear, high-pitched soprano.

    When the Burce family planned a trip to Los Angeles, the radio station asked if Suzanne would appear on a network talent show there. The tiny girl with a 2½-octave voice drew thunderous applause with an aria from “Carmen” and was quickly put under contract to MGM.

    Her first movie was a loanout to an independent producer for “Song of the Open Road,” a 1944 mishmash with W.C. Fields (at the end of his career) and Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy.

    The character’s name in “Song of the Open Road” was Jane Powell, and MGM decided that that would be her movie name.

    She played teens in such films as “Holiday in Mexico,” “Three Daring Daughters” and “A Date With Judy.” But she pleaded with the studio bosses to be given grown-up roles and finally succeeded in “Royal Wedding.”

    Frothy romances and musicals continued to dominate her career, including “Young, Rich and Pretty,” “Small Town Girl” and “Three Sailors and a Girl.”

    After her movie career ended, musical theater offered plenty of work for a star of her prominence and talent. She sang in supper clubs, toured in such shows as “The Unsinkable Molly Brown” and “I Do! I Do!” and replaced Debbie Reynolds in the Broadway run of “Irene.”

    She frequently appeared on television, notably in the Judy Garland role in a new version of “Meet Me in St. Louis.”

    As she approached her 70s, Powell abandoned her singing career. “I can’t hit the high notes, and I won’t be second-rate,” she explained in 2000. She switched to drama, appearing in New York theater in such plays as “Avow,” portraying mother of an unmarried, pregnant daughter and a son who wanted to marry his male partner.

    Powell’s first four marriages ended in divorce: to Geary Steffen (son Geary, daughter Suzanne), Patrick Nerney (daughter Lindsay), James Fitzgerald and David Parlour.

    Powell met fifth husband Dick Moore when he interviewed her for his book about child actors. As Dickie Moore, he had been a well-known child actor in the 1930s and ’40s and gave Shirley Temple her first screen kiss in “Miss Annie Rooney” (1942). Moore, head of a New York public relations office, and Powell married in 1988. He died in 2015.

    Jane Powell’s survivors include her daughter, Lindsey Nerney, Granger said.

    Who knows about Buttbiscuit's Dumberboink? I think, there's Phyllis, Buttbiscuit, Dumber, Kyle and who else? Who could spill to Ashland? Because that's what needs to happen. Ashland tells Victoria and Victoriar tells Nick and then it's Buttbiscuit goes BOOM.

    From your fingertips to Goddess Kali's ear, Peaches.

    NotBilly did tell Lily in a rare moment of frank couch-boinking togetherness.

    The problem is there's no reason for the boldface names to tell Locke-ness the gory details of the Dumber Boink -- He would have to overhear one of the loud mouths broadcasting it in public, and the Boink hasn't been mentioned in 10+ months. It would be mutually assured destruction for the boldfacer's to bring up the subject.

    Victor, Nick, Nicki and Jack would go on a rampage, and no one would be left to attend Victoria's Italian festa wedding because of all the wounded feelz ... if the wedding even takes place after Locke-ness implodes Genoa City with Dumber and NotBilly's Sexxxy Time Fun.

    Does Jack know the real reason why Nostrils doesn’t want to go to Summer’s and Kyle’s wedding?  I don’t think Jack knows that Nostrils had revenge sex with Summer. 

    I doubt Jack knows about the Dumber Boink or that's the reason NotBilly declined to attend.

    I think NotBilly is too deep in his mission quest to spoil Victoria's marriage to Locke-ness to have any interest in the Dumb/Kyle nuptials.

    Depending on which Christian Faith the child will be baptized, the godparents have to be of the same faith especially in Catholicism.  If memory serves, Abby’s, Devon’s, and Mariah’s religion hasn’t been mentioned.  Again, if memory serves, Devon officiated Abby’s and Chance’s wedding. Devon is only a internet minister not an ordained priest. 

    They're parishioners at the Church of Darvon?

    Show is pretty defuse on religious affiliation, so the christening should be an unidentified denomination of indeterminate origins.

    Jack is 100% correct. Olive Oyl is basically marrying her father. Her father that Olive could have been fantasizing about since being a teenager.  Olive is obsessed with proving herself to her father because that’s what she thinks maintains his love for her.  Now that Olive knows the truth about Ashland’s past, of course it’s makes her love him even more because it’s similar to Victor’s past. 

    Perhaps, but Locke-ness is the most attractive and equitable mate Victoria has been with in years.

    Who is Jack to criticize who one loves after his declaration of eternal love to a dumpster humping brother fucker? 

    Find a chair Jack. And use it.

    Quote

    So Ashland changed his name and left his mom behind to be abused by his father. I guess the story of killing his father to save his mother was already used up by Adam killing his mother’s tormented.  But I would like the significance of changing his name, of all names, to Ashland.  So tomorrow Ashland reveals his true self. Dollars to donuts Nostrils doesn’t believe him and continues to pry into his past. 

    So Locke-ness came from a dysfunctional family situation, left them behind and changed his name. <shrug>

    I expect NotBilly will dredge up whoever it texting Locke-ness (unwanted family member) and parade them around in the press like they were poor lost lambs abandoned by teenage Locke-ness. It will fit into his ploy to stop Victoria from marrying Locke-ness, and blow up spectacularly in his face.

    Victoria said she would get back at NotBilly for using Locke-ness to sell ad space on Chance Dot Com and I expect her to gut him like a chicken.

    Quote

    Abby was obsessed with having a baby and pushed for it before Chance came home. Now, after a few weeks, the novelty  has worn off and it’s time for Bowie to be passed off to a nanny.  

    Abby got her Baby Rabies sated and now she's going back to her regular life, and a nanny makes that possible.

    She's not going to have Mariah be Bowie's sitter because she's in the throws of post-partum separation anxiety from Bowie and PTSD from the kidnapping, and is terrified that Stitch will return. It makes absolute sense for Abby to go to an outside caretaker; everyone else on Team Baby Rabies have their own lives and jobs. Abby has Darvon as her 'rock,' isolating Mariah even further.

    Mariah needs help from a real therapist (Step aside, Sharon), not taking on some godparent title as a consolation prize for here's your hat get out of my house. Mariah has been used as an incubator, debased as a milk cow and brushed aside by a thoughtless and blinkered Newman/Abbott/Chancellor princess. 

    Quote

    I’m guessing that it’s Ashland’s father that is trying to get in touch with him and it’s Nostrils’ meddling, in Ashland’s past, that was the trigger for Ashland’s father to find him. 

    I wouldn't surprise me. Or an underhanded sibling that would take advantage and want his/her slice of the Locke-ness pie, encroaching on Victoria's wealth as well.

    Even apart from that, her cucking him for Victor Newman's son/Jack's former stepson should've been the end of it. As much as I'm enjoying Ally, I wish he and Sally could've lasted a bit longer because other than Doctor Emily, his romances have been utterly shit.

    That should have been end of them, and more than enough reason for Jack to keep Phyllis at arms length for a decade before he made any declarations of I Still Love You And All Is Forgiven.

    There's been a few allusions from Phyllis that she was 'sorry,' but no hair shirt-wearing or true repentance. My guess is that the entire SL was such a hair trigger subject to viewers, it was easier to drop the subject entirely and allowing Phyllis and Jack to be civil-leading-into-friendly territory while keeping Phyllis and NotBilly in separate spheres, until recently, to avoid any conjecture that they were reigniting their foul couplings.

    Locking Phyllis and Nick together having sexxxy times on a game console (Nick nearly killed Daniel for Cassie's death, and Victor booked the Honeymoon in Hell for Phyllis and Marco -- That's not weird, is it?) kept her in DEFCON 3 obsession over Dumber/Kyle and the bitter battles over the Galivanting Pubis.

    This version of Jack playing the Useful Idiot isn't the first; Both Phyllis and Kyle said the mutual tonsil hockey was a merry mixup, and Jack shrugged it off to that.

    TIIC need Jack as a dangling chad. Phyllis can show up to have her ego inflated and mark her territory when he has the inkling of female company, and he can continue to carry her purse when she needs both hands free to take off her earrings and have a throwdown in her hotel lobby.

    What did Sharon tell Atonal that he didn't already know?

    He said a few weeks ago he needed to tell Connor the truth about his relationship with Chelsea.

    4 hours ago, gingerella said:

    It was just so that Sally could overhear and set her crazy stun gun on Sharon now. This show is so badly written you can see what's coming down the pike from miles away!

     

    And I thought Atonal initially going to talk to Sharon post-kidnapping was him subliminally letting her know she was still on his mind and concerned about her feelz, but Mariah cock-blocked him and Sharon was forced to side with her.

    Then Sharon hears about Atonal and Sally together, and she shows up unexpectedly to let him know she has territorial feelz for him and his situation with Con; much flirting and emotional handholding ensue from Sharon. 

    Sally can't get out of her own way and stops Sharon's hard sell on Atonal -- Sharon can't get directly involved between Atonal and Chelsea without another bruhaha occurring, and Rey Rey is still in contact with Chelsea and that will make Sharon's home life more annoying than usual. 

    Sally clam jamming Sharon is the way to go with MyPolar. Sharon will be in for a world of pain if she pursues Atonal because he's involved with Sally. And Atonal seems flattered to be shadowed and defended by Sally, where Sharon is deliberately unavailable to him and constantly trying to fix or coddle him with shrink-jive.
