Samurai Flash MOD APK 2.0.28
Samurai Flash:
Would you like to know what it feels to be a Super Hero?
Join us and become a Flash Samurai .
Join the Samurai Flash MOD APK hero to combat the bad guys and defend his village. You can unlock powerful weapons for the Samurai Guy with the money available from the MOD edition.
You don't know why the samurai gets mixed up in a 1 vs. all war. There's no storey or prologue at all. You just know you need to use your sword along the way to slash all the objects and enemies.
To monitor the samurai move, hold and slide your finger on the screen, it will automatically slash all enemies as his sword line passes. Quite an exciting mechanism. When you fall down a cliff or get hit by an enemy attack, you will be defeated.
Overall, the difficulty is missing in the gameplay of Samurai Flash. The levels have shifted, but it doesn't seem to have improved the difficulty. The game also has no time limit or special requirements for you. Only take out all the opponents and end, and the maximum score has been reached. The boss appears after every 5 stages, but it is also very easy to beat.
You will find it a little dull and boring with the repetitive gameplay if you play for too long. Your only purpose is to play, save money and unlock guns and characters. Hopefully, the publisher will be updated shortly to add some new player retention modes.

Salisbury Laboratories, Worcester, Mass

The building in 2016:
This building is one of the oldest on the WPI campus, and was completed in 1888 to alleviate overcrowding at Boynton Hall. It provided additional classroom and lab space for the school, and was built with funds provided by Stephen Salisbury III, who had the building named in honor of his father, one of the founders of the school. Local architect Stephen C. Earle designed the building in a fairly conservative Romanesque design that more closely resembled a mill than an institution of higher learning, perhaps reflecting the practical, industrial nature of the school's programs.
Over the years, the Salisbury Laboratories building has been significantly expanded, including a 1940 addition to the right that imitates Earle's original design. The original building is still easily recognizable, though, and remains in use for classrooms, labs, and lecture halls. Further in the distance on the left, the historic 1868 Washburn Shops building is also still standing, and just out of view beyond it is Boynton Hall, which opened the same year and was the school's first building.

Company Gold & National Silver awards for Pirtek franchise Stoke
Craig Harrison, proprietor of leading local hose service provider Pirtek Stoke, has achieved an unprecedented double. Having already been named Pirtek Franchisee of the Year, Craig was named as the silver place runner-up in the British Franchise Association's own Franchisee of the Year award last week.
Craig's story is not so much rags to riches as coal miner to company director. Having worked as a miner since leaving school, Craig joined Pirtek in 1993, initially working as a Mobile Sales and Service Technician (MSST) at the Stoke Centre.
Within three years, Craig's hand-on experience and enthusiasm earned him a promotion to Senior MSST. Two years later, he was promoted again, this time to the role of Centre Manager, a critical role in any of Pirtek's network of over 90 Centres across the UK and Ireland. Having proved his capabilities at the front-line of the business, Craig seized the opportunity to purchase the Pirtek Stoke operation when it became available in 2001. Craig believes that his meteoric rise has given him a unique insight into the Pirtek business. "From working as a man on the van to becoming company director gives me the knowledge of what can and cannot be done across all aspects of the Pirtek business," he says.
It is an insight that has clearly paid dividends. Since taking over the Pirtek Stoke operation, turnover has grown from £650,000 per annum to over £1.2 million. Craig subsequently underlined his confidence in the Pirtek business model, acquiring additional Centres in Warrington and Wigan and setting both of them on an equally ambitious growth path.
Craig's achievements were recognised earlier this year when he was named as Pirtek Franchisee of the Year for 2008, and again last week when he came second in the world-renowned British Franchise Association's Franchisee of the Year later this month. "I was up against other franchisees from a diverse range of companies and industry sectors so the competition was stiff," Craig Harrison concludes. "But 15 years ago, I was driving a van and wielding a spanner for a living and today I am the proud owner of three very successful Pirtek businesses. I know that with a bit of hard work and commitment, anything's achievable."

"Suspended" Tsvangirai counters with expulsion of "opportunist" Biti
Home » HEADLINES » "Suspended" Tsvangirai counters with expulsion of "opportunist" Biti
By Zimbabwe Investor on April 29, 2014.	No Comments
Zimbabwe's opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai says his rival Tendai Biti has been expelled from their MDC party, along with eight other members.
Mr Biti was an "opportunist" who was being manipulated by President Robert Mugabe's Zanu-PF party, he said.
On Saturday, a faction led by Mr Biti said Mr Tsvangirai had been suspended from the MDC because of a "remarkable failure of leadership".
The divisions in the MDC follow its defeat in the 2013 elections.
The election ended the coalition the MDC and Zanu-PF had formed after disputed elections in 2008.
Mr Tsvangirai and Mr Biti, the MDC secretary-general, had been long-standing allies in their campaign to remove Mr Mugabe from power, but fell out after the elections held in July last year.
Mr Tsvangirai said Mr Biti and the other "rebels" had been recalled from parliament.
"He [Mr Biti] deceived us all. The man doesn't believe in anything, except his power," Mr Tsvangirai said, in his first comments since his suspension was announced.
On Saturday, Mr Biti's faction said the MDC's national council had voted to suspend Mr Tsvangirai because the party had been "transformed into a fiefdom of the leader".
Mr Tsvangirai dismissed the meeting as "illegal, unconstitutional, illegitimate and bogus".
Many MDC supporters are worried that the split could strengthen Mr Mugabe and Zanu-PF and are hoping that the two leaders can resolve their differences, reports the BBC's Brian Hungwe from the capital, Harare.
Mr Mugabe, 90, has ruled Zimbabwe since independence in 1980.
Mr Tsvangirai and Mr Biti played a key role in the launch of the MDC in 1999 to challenge Mr Mugabe's grip on power.
The party's formation led to a period of intense repression and violence against the MDC.
Mr Mugabe also ordered the seizure of white-owned farms, and the economy went into crisis.
The two parties formed a power-sharing government in 2009, following mediation efforts by regional leaders.
The unity government ended last year, with Mr Mugabe and Zanu-PF's victory in presidential and parliamentary elections.
Mr Mugabe obtained 61% of the presidential vote against 34% for Mr Tsvangirai.
This is the second split in the MDC. In 2005, Mr Biti's predecessor as secretary-general, Welshman Ncube, broke away to launch his own MDC faction.

Find Security Among God's People
"My Feet Had Almost Turned Aside"
Choose Your Companions Wisely
"You Have Been Washed Clean"
Dinah Gets Into Trouble
Congregating All Nations at Jehovah's House
"I will laud you in the big congregation."—PS. 35:18.
1-3. (a) What may lead some Christians into a spiritually dangerous situation? (b) Where can God's people find protection?
WHILE on vacation, Joe and his wife were snorkeling on a tropical coral reef teeming with fish of all colors and sizes. They swam a little farther out to admire the reef below. When the seabed dropped away into a blue abyss, Joe's wife said, "I think we're going out too far." "Relax," Joe replied. "I know what I'm doing." Joe recalls wondering soon thereafter, 'Where have all the fish gone?' With horror, he saw the reason. Out of the deep blue, a shark was heading straight for him. There he was, completely at its mercy. When the shark was just a few feet [a meter or so] away, it veered off and disappeared.
2 A Christian can become so enamored with the attractions of Satan's system of things—entertainment, work, possessions—that he does not realize that he is getting deeper into dangerous waters. "My experience made me think about the company we keep," says Joe, who is a Christian elder. "Swim where it's safe and enjoyable—in the congregation!" Do not swim into deep water, where you may find yourself spiritually isolated and in peril. If ever you find yourself there, immediately head back to 'safe water.' Otherwise, you might run the risk of being devoured spiritually.
3 Today, the world is a dangerous place for Christians. (2 Tim. 3:1-5) Satan knows that his days are numbered, and he is out to devour the unwary. (1 Pet. 5:8; Rev. 12:12, 17) However, we are not without protection. Jehovah has provided his people with a safe spiritual refuge—the Christian congregation.
4, 5. How do many people feel about their future, and why?
4 Secular society offers only a limited amount of security—whether physical or emotional. Many people feel that their physical security is threatened by crime, violence, the high cost of living, and even environmental issues. All face the problems of advancing age and ill health. And others who have jobs, homes, adequate finances, and a reasonable degree of health may wonder how long these will last.
5 Emotional security has likewise proved elusive for many. Sad to say, multitudes who had hoped to find peace and fulfillment in marriage and with a family have found that their expectations have gone unfulfilled. Spiritually speaking, many churchgoers have been left bewildered and disoriented, questioning the value of the guidance that they have received. That is especially so in the light of the questionable conduct and unscriptural teachings of their religious leaders. Hence, many people feel that they have little choice but to hope in science or in the goodwill and good sense of fellow humans. It is not surprising, then, that people around us feel extremely insecure or that they simply prefer not to think too deeply about their future.
6, 7. (a) What accounts for the difference in outlook between those who serve God and those who do not? (b) What will we consider?
6 What a contrast in outlook there is between those who are part of the Christian congregation and those who are not! Even though we as Jehovah's people have to face many of the same issues and problems our neighbors face, our reaction is quite different. (Read Isaiah 65:13, 14; Malachi 3:18.) Why? Because we find in the Bible a satisfying explanation for the condition in which humanity finds itself, and we are equipped to deal with life's challenges and problems. As a result, we are not overly anxious about the future. Being worshippers of Jehovah affords us protection from unsound and unscriptural reasoning, immoral practices, and the consequences of such. Members of the Christian congregation thus experience a tranquillity unknown to others.—Isa. 48:17, 18; Phil. 4:6, 7.
7 Some examples may help us to reflect on the security enjoyed by those who serve Jehovah in contrast with those who do not. These examples may move us to examine our own reasoning and practices and to consider whether we might more fully apply God's counsel, which is designed to protect us.—Isa. 30:21.
8. What have Jehovah's servants always had to do?
8 From early on in mankind's history, those who chose to serve and obey Jehovah sought to avoid close association with those who did not. Indeed, Jehovah indicated that there would be enmity between his worshippers and those who followed Satan. (Gen. 3:15) Because of their firm stand for divinely inspired principles, God's people have acted differently from those who surround them. (John 17:15, 16; 1 John 2:15-17) Taking such a stand has not always been easy. Indeed, some among Jehovah's servants have on occasion questioned the wisdom of a self-sacrificing course of life.
9. Describe the struggle faced by the writer of Psalm 73.
9 One of Jehovah's servants who found himself wondering whether he had made wise decisions was the writer of Psalm 73, likely one of Asaph's descendants. The psalmist asked why it is that the wicked often seem to be successful, happy, and prosperous, while some who strive to serve God suffer trials and hardships.—Read Psalm 73:1-13.
10. Why are the issues the psalmist raised important for you?
10 Have you ever found yourself asking questions like the ones the psalmist recorded? If so, there is no need to feel excessively guilty or to think that your faith is crumbling. Actually, a number of Jehovah's servants, including some whom Jehovah used to write the Bible, had similar thoughts. (Job 21:7-13; Ps. 37:1; Jer. 12:1; Hab. 1:1-4, 13) Indeed, all who desire to serve Jehovah must come to grips with and accept the answer to this problem: Is serving and obeying God the best thing to do? This reflects the issue that Satan raised in the garden of Eden. It is central to the universal question of divine sovereignty. (Gen. 3:4, 5) So all of us do well to consider the matter that the psalmist raised. Should we envy wicked boasters who seem to be getting along just fine? Should we 'turn aside' from serving Jehovah and imitate them? That, of course, is exactly what Satan would like us to do.
11, 12. (a) How did the psalmist overcome his doubts, and what does this teach us? (b) What has helped you arrive at the same conclusion as the psalmist?
11 What helped the psalmist overcome his doubts? Although he admitted nearly turning aside from righteousness, his viewpoint changed when he entered "the grand sanctuary of God"—that is, when he associated with spiritual people in God's tabernacle or temple and reflected on God's purpose. Then it became clear to the psalmist that he did not want to share the lot of evildoers. He could see that their course and choices in life put them on "slippery ground." All those immorally leaving Jehovah, the psalmist perceived, will inevitably come to their end in "sudden terrors," whereas those serving Jehovah will be supported by him. (Read Psalm 73:16-19, 27, 28.) No doubt you have seen the truth of that statement. Living for self without regard for divine law might seem attractive to many, but the bad consequences of such a course are inescapable.—Gal. 6:7-9.
12 What else do we learn from the experience of the psalmist? He found security and wisdom among God's people. He started reasoning clearly and logically when he went to the place where Jehovah was worshipped. Similarly today, we can find wise counselors and enjoy wholesome spiritual food at congregation meetings. For good reason, then, Jehovah tells his servants to attend Christian meetings. There they will feel encouraged and will be incited to act wisely.—Isa. 32:1, 2; Heb. 10:24, 25.
13-15. (a) What experience did Dinah have, illustrating what? (b) Why is association with fellow Christians a protection?
13 Jacob's daughter Dinah was an example of one who got into serious trouble because of associating with worldly companions. The Genesis account about her tells us that she was in the habit of associating with the young Canaanite women in the area where her family dwelled. The Canaanites did not have the same high moral standards as Jehovah's worshippers. On the contrary, what archaeologists have found indicates that the Canaanites' ways led to their land becoming filled with idolatry, immorality, depraved sex worship, and violence. (Ex. 23:23; Lev. 18:2-25; Deut. 18:9-12) Recall the outcome of Dinah's association with these people.
14 A local man, Shechem, described as "the most honorable of the whole house of his father," saw Dinah "and then took her and lay down with her and violated her." (Gen. 34:1, 2, 19) What a tragedy! Do you suppose Dinah ever imagined that such a thing could happen to her? Perhaps she was simply seeking the friendship of the local youths, whom she considered harmless. However, Dinah was greatly deceived.
15 What does this account teach us? That we simply cannot socialize with unbelievers and hope to suffer no ill consequences. The Scriptures state that "bad associations spoil useful habits." (1 Cor. 15:33) On the other hand, association with people who share your beliefs, your high moral standards, and your love for Jehovah is a safeguard. Such good association will encourage you to act wisely.—Prov. 13:20.
16. What did the apostle Paul say about some in the Corinthian congregation?
16 The Christian congregation has helped many individuals to cleanse themselves of defiling practices. When the apostle Paul wrote his first letter to the congregation in Corinth, he commented on changes that Christians there had made to live in conformity with God's standards. Some had been fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, homosexuals, thieves, drunkards, and so on. "But you have been washed clean," Paul told them.—Read 1 Corinthians 6:9-11.
17. How has living by Bible standards changed the lives of many?
17 People who have no faith lack sound guiding principles. They set their own course or they may simply be adrift in a sea of moral abandon, as was true of some of those ancient Corinthians before they became believers. (Eph. 4:14) Accurate knowledge of God's Word and purposes, however, has the power to transform for the better the lives of all who apply the Scriptures. (Col. 3:5-10; Heb. 4:12) Many who today are members of the Christian congregation can tell you that before learning of and adopting Jehovah's righteous standards, they lived without moral restraint. Yet, they were unsatisfied and unhappy. They found peace only when they began associating with God's people and living in accord with Bible principles.
18. What experience did one young person have, proving what?
18 In contrast, some who in the past chose to leave the 'safe water' of the Christian congregation now bitterly regret that decision. One sister, whom we will call Tanya, explains that she was "raised around the truth," but when she was 16, she left the congregation to "pursue worldly enticements." Among the results she experienced were an unwanted pregnancy and an abortion. She now says: "The three years I spent away from the congregation left ugly scars on my emotions that will not go away. Something that continues to haunt me is that I killed my unborn child. . . . I want to tell all the young ones who are wishing they could 'taste' the world even for just a little while: 'Don't!' It may taste good at first, but it leaves an extremely bitter aftertaste. The world has nothing but misery to offer. I know. I tasted it. Stay in Jehovah's organization! It's the only way of life that brings happiness."
19, 20. What protection does the Christian congregation offer, and how?
19 Just think what would become of you if you were to abandon the protective environment of the Christian congregation. Many, recalling their futile course of life before they accepted the truth, simply shudder at the thought. (John 6:68, 69) You can continue to find security and protection from the woes and misery so common in Satan's world by staying in close company with your Christian brothers and sisters. Association with them and regular attendance at congregation meetings will continually remind you of the wisdom of Jehovah's righteous standards and will encourage you to live by them. You have every reason to 'laud Jehovah in the big congregation,' just as the psalmist did.—Ps. 35:18.
20 Of course, for various reasons, all Christians go through times when it seems difficult for them to maintain their Christian integrity. They may just need to be pointed in the right direction. What can you—and indeed the rest of the congregation—do to assist fellow believers at such times? The next article will examine how you can 'keep comforting and building up' your brothers.—1 Thess. 5:11.
How Would You Answer?
• What do we learn from the experiences of the writer of Psalm 73?
• What does Dinah's experience teach us?
• Why can you find security in the Christian congregation?

The Chef's Club of Greece for the International Chef's Day Challenge organized two events. One in the capital of Greece, Athens and one in city of Pirgos (one of the largest cities in Peloponese).
In Athens we went to a kindergarten where we presented the program "health in your bag". The chefs carved everyday fruits into dolls and toys and created tasty healthy recipes for breakfast. There followed a seminar to the parents about healthy recipes for lunch and brunch. There participated 5 chefs of our club, under the co ordination of the vice president Mr Tassos Zissopoulos and about 40 children. Furthermore there were present 20 parents at the following seminar.
Our second activity was in a primary school in Pirgos. There a group of chefs, taught students how to prepare their own healthy breakfast and lunch with basic ingredients like yogurt, fruit and vegetables, honey, etc. There participated 8 chefs of our club, under the coordination of the member of the B.o.D. Mr Karampinis Dimitris and about 200 children.
We would like to congratulate WACS for its initiative. The Chef's Club of Greece remains at your disposal for further activities.


Majolica (Maiolica) is an Italian faience dating back to the Renaissance. "By the 13th century majolica ware was imported into Italy through the Isle of Majorca, headquarter of the trade between Spain and Italy. The Italians called it Maiolica, erroneously thinking it was made in Majorca".
The stanniferous or lead glaze technical was borrowed to the Spanish potters. As the ceramic paste is porous, it is covered with a glaze to which is added tin oxide (stanniferous faience). The porous paste can also be covered with a glaze composed of vitreous materials (silica) with an add of lead oxide (lead faience).

Here are the three things I chose, and look they are all Rose Gold and so is my Bomber Jacket hehe.
This watch is so pretty! I love the huge face (40mm) and the Mesh band is Stainless steel. This watch is Rose gold (of course). Another awesome thing to note is that this watch if adjustable and the band is quite long, so the biggest to the smallest wrist can wear this. If you use the 15% discount code (beauty.in.bold) this will end up being $169.15. I think this would be the PERFECT gift for a 21st or anniversary as it looks good on everyone, it's also pretty Hardy as its water-resistant (not water proof) and the glass face is Hardened mineral Crystal Glass.
This little bracelet is so cute. It's really dainty and would make the best gift. This Little Bracelet is also adjustable so nearly anyone could wear it!
Ever Since receiving these they are my go-to when I going somewhere nice, or even leaving the house to do anything besides shopping and school pick up. They just look effortlessly nice. Remember if you are going to do any shopping on then use my code beauty.in.bold and you will get 15% off. They have heaps of different things and not just rose gold finishes. Tag me in your pictures and let me know what you choose and how you style it! with Christmas coming up soon I think you should definitely keep these in mind for gift Ideas!
Thankyou for Reading guys! IF you want more Jewellery or Fashion posts let me know!

Yes, it's just some bamboo, but it's big bamboo. It's beautiful bamboo.
It's also not in my own garden, darn it.
It's in my friend Michael's garden. He emailed me a few days ago and said I had to come over and see the size of the atro shoots (Phyllostachys atrovaginata).
So I did. And I was properly impressed.
If you don't grow bamboo, or haven't had the privilege of seeing large bamboo culms in person, you won't appreciate what's going on here.
These aren't the fattest culms in the world (or the country), but they're pretty good for the St. Louis area. Around 2" (5cm) thick, maybe a touch more.
I love these mature bamboos that Michael has, both the atro and the Phyllostachys heteroclada. The heteroclada takes a long time to reach mature size -- over a decade according to Mike -- but it's so beautiful!
Someday I'll have something this impressive and satisfying in my garden too. Sigh.
I love the gray-green color. Just beautiful.
Atrovaginata is finally starting to wake up for me.
It looks like Michael grows it in a very tight clump. Did that happen naturally? I seem to bee seeing all of the new shoots only a couple inches away from the existing culms showing that it is a pretty slow running bamboo so I'm not sure if it runs slow in your climate as well.
Not slow here at all -- 10-15' in one year? Mike rhizome prunes to keep them in a clump, and has been doing that for 30 years. All of these bamboos have been moved a couple of times during those years, or they'd probably be even larger by now!

Jerry verDorn Signs On For Prospect Park's One Life to Live!
Great news for Llanview fans! While many have been commenting that all the actors thus far who have announced that they are participating in the upcoming Prospect Park reboots are from All My Children, well that ends tonight thanks to fan favorite Jerry verDorn!
The Daytime Emmy winner took to his Facebook page to announce he has signed on for the revival of One Life to Live!
So soapers excited to see Jerry back in the saddle as Clint Buchanan? Weigh-in on this exciting news!
Cameron Mathison Tweets That He Hopes To Be Part Of The Revival Of All My Children … Schedule Permitting!
Steve Burton Confirms He Will Play Dylan McAvoy On Y&R! – Watch The Clip From THE TALK!
Wonderful news! Great progress is being made. Ditto on hoping to see an announcement from Erika Slezak! Can't wait to see the show again!
Another HUGE get!!!! So important to get one of the Buchanan brothers on board! One down, 20 or so more to go.
This is so unbelievable! A year ago, it was all but dead and buried. And here we are, and there is a glorious light ahead. So, so proud of all this beautiful movement taking place in the right direction! THANK YOU Prospect Park!!!
Yeah! Great news, great day for soap fans! OLTL needs the Buchanans.
I hope that Jerry's comments are enough to dispel any disbelieve that anyone has had about OLTL's reboot happening.
I can not wait until the show begins !
The good news keeps on coming! I am looking forward to hearing who else will be joining Mr. VerDorn.
LOVE it!!! What he said was perfect. I never gave up hope.
Now Clint is going to need his Viki and Dorian!!
I'm afraid to hope that this will really happen. Crossing my fingers that it does. I love JVD and Clint! Hope we hear of more OLTL actors signing on soon.
Stay tuned the RIP's will be coming down soon!
If that is the PP deal will actually go through this time!
Waiting to see the production start date!
PP also has to make a deal with the WGA too to make this really happen!
most of all Erika Slezak(Viki),(blondie). My favorite on OLTL (#1) in my book!
I like the theme song it had. I hope it doesn't change!
I go around humming both of them all the time-love them both-so glad to even be discussing this! SO EXCITED.
I seen this posted on facebook and was jumping up and down literly!!!! Now we need ES, RW, MA, ME, TW, RH, TSJ, KDP and so on! I think we will hear more before the weeks out. I'm more positive after today but being a long time Jolie and TnB fan its gonna be bitter sweet for me.
This is getting more promising with each passing day, may it continue!!! I am glad to see Jerry aka Clint on board. Here is hoping his coming back will help lure Erika Slezak, Robert Woods and Hillary B Smith (although I believe she might be doing another online soap) back as well. I hope all of our beloved actors and actresses, who have not moved on to other shows or endeavors can all come back too, like Trevor St. John (Victor), Rex and Gigi, Roxy, Blair and her boys, Tea and her daughter, Shaun, Destiny and Mathew B, the hunky Ford Brothers, and the Buchanan girls, just to name a few on OLTL. I am also excited about AMC !!!!
Last year at the end.. there were 13? OLTL who had signed on to go forward on-line..
we just have to wait to hear ..
Actually, Michael Easton (McBain), Kristen Alderson (Starr), and Roger Howarth (Todd) all have contracts to GH!
maybe not. We will just have to wait & see.
Still Hoping for ES and RS, without them there is no show.
Let's go Prospect Park! Now we need Ms. Victoria, Dorian, Joey and Kelly, and Blair and Jack, Tea and Dani. Go, go, go!
ME & KA can head back for all I care….Start packing………..
KA has a 3 year contract and I believe ME only signed on for 6 months.
I'm hoping ME will head back to Llanview and Natalie & Liam 😉 Todd & Starr are working out nicely in Port Charles, so they can stay with brief pop-ins to visit Blair, Dorian, Vickie, etc.
Will GH be apart of Prospect Park? I thought PP had brought rights to them too.
Jerry IS IN THE HOUSE!!! Fantastic news!
When will the RIPs come down?
I was wondering too. Like a dead soap character risen from the ashes! HA!
Mr. Fairman, when you remove the R.I.P.s could you add "Pretty Little Liars" to your list? Other than GH and SOAPnet it is the ONLY ABC/D product I watch. It is an excellent drama featuring many soap actors. Thank you for your consideration.
Awesome news!! Can't wait to hear more. Can't wait for the return of OLTL. Been too long without it!!
Great- now how about Erika Slezak?
