Fleetwood Mac – Oh Well -Pt1
This song was from Fleetwood Mac…the 60's version of the band with the great guitar player Peter Green. The song peaked at #55 in the Billboard 100 in 1970.
Fleetwood Mac was six years away from their Stevie Nicks/Lindsey Buckingham era when this song was released. The lineup on this track was Peter Green (vocals, guitar), John McVie (bass), Danny Kirwan (guitar), Mick Fleetwood (drums), and Jeremy Spencer (piano).
This is the only song that has been played in every decade of Fleetwood Mac, starting in the '60s. When Mike Campbell of Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers joined the band in 2018, the song became a feature for him, and his only lead vocal in their set.
The single was released in two parts. Radio stations usually play the A-side, "Oh Well (part 1)." The B-side is "Oh Well (part 2)," an orchestral piece that sounds completely different. Both parts were written by Peter Green and go together on the album, but Green always thought the best part wasn't played.
Peter Green: "The best bit was Part 2 on the other side of the record," "You miss the best bit, the Spanish guitar break. The first side was what we played on stage. I didn't think it would be a hit and I used to hate playing that one because we played the part that wasn't as good. I wanted a bit of moody guitar playing. They wanted the bit that was easy to do, that everyone knew."
From Songfacts
At the time, Fleetwood Mac was a successful blues band known for their raucous stage shows. Their albums consistently sold about 300,000 copies and they were known as outstanding musicians. When Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham joined the band in 1974, they changed their sound and became one of the best-selling bands ever. Until then, "Oh Well" was the only Fleetwood Mac song that made the Hot 100 in America; they did have several UK hits in this era, including the #1 "Albatross."
This was one of Peter Green's last contributions to Fleetwood Mac. He was revered as one of the greatest guitarists and songwriters of the time, having replaced Eric Clapton in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers before forming Fleetwood Mac in 1967. He became a high profile acid casualty in 1970 when he suffered a mental breakdown and left the band, devoting himself to religious practice and proclaiming money as evil. An oft-repeated tale has him entering his manager's office with a shotgun, demanding that his royalty checks be discontinued.
Mick Fleetwood was sure this song would go nowhere. He bet Green that it would tank.
The stop and start technique inspired Led Zeppelin to do the same thing on "Black Dog."
Jimmy Page and The Black Crowes released a version on their 2000 album Live At The Greek.
Oh Well – Part 2
The original with Peter Green
I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to
Now, when I talked to God, I knew He'd understand
He said, "Stick by my side and I'll be your guiding hand
Ooh, well

I never knew about Pt. 2 — great post!
I didn't either!
newepicauthor says:
Part A blows away Part B, as it is like comparing Rock to Jazz.
I didn't know about part 2
some nice guitar work there, which is probably why Campbell took to it when he joined
Lindsey does a good version of it also…It's the one song that was constant.
allthingsthriller says:
Yes, I respect the "Peter Green Fleetwood Mac." I've known fans who never accepted the "Buckingham/Nicks Fleetwood Mac" though I'm not one of them. Frankly, I've always loved the core of the group, John McVie and Mick Fleetwood and then a little later, Christine McVie…This might incur some eye rolls and laughter, but I don't care (Ha!)…I prefer The Rockets cover version. I prefer Peter Green with the Bluesbreakers, but that's just me.
I like all versions of them. I look at it as a growing experience and all of them worked well for what they did.
When our band played it… we learned the the Rocket's version…yea I like it also.
I never would link side a with side b as the same song. Side b is so beautiful and mellow and my mind wandered to a soundtrack for a spaghetti western. I was shocked at what song side a was, as I know the song but not the name. I can see where Peter would have preferred to play side b because it's more challenging, but it's a no-brainer that side a would be used to big concerts. Maybe a small audience jazz club for b. When I think of a brilliant artist's mental health being destroyed by drugs it makes me both sad and angry. I see that Peter is performing music again, or he was in 2012 at least.
He was really hit bad not only by that but by the cult he joined. I don't know which one did him more damage. It was terrible.
It's crazy that he declined all of his money…and ended up broke for a while.
He joined a cult?? 😦
He met up with some people…I'm not sure what they were called. The other guitar player joined one and stayed there for 25 years…Peter met some people that were not good for him. I've heard Fleetwood talk about it….and the drugs combined…he said " I went kind of holy – no, not holy, religious. I thought I could do it, I thought I was all right on drugs. My failing!"
It was a mixture of influences.
Now you have me looking it up more. I don't want to give wrong info but that is what I understood.
John Holton says:
From what I heard, Peter Green grew his fingernails really long so he wouldn't be tempted to play anymore. I'm relieved he thought better of it.
You never heard part 2? It's the best part of the song. Very melancholy and meditative.
No I never heard it before. The first time I heard part 1 was the Rockets verison…but I do like Fleetwood Macs version…I do like the second part though…but I never heard it til last night
christiansmusicmusings says:
That's a cool tune with a nice guitar riff. There's no question Peter Green was an excellent guitarist. That being said I have to admit I really dig the more pop-oriented Fleetwood Mac from Rumours. But I've also come to appreciate their early phase pre-Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham. It's like listening to two different bands!
Yes that is the truth. I also like the live version they did with Lindsey singing.
I do respect the Green version of them. It worked for them turning more pop.
Stevie and Christine don't look so hot in that pic lol
No that facial hair kinda sticks out on them lol.
bahaha. Well Played!
I just read where Peter Green wrote Black Magic Woman. And, here I thought Carlos did.
He messed himself up with LSD and did time in a psychiatric hospital for schizophrenia. The commune didn't help even though he stated that he enjoyed it.
Fleetwood Mac went thru a similar sound change like Journey did.
Part I sounded good (new to me). Part II sounded like Clint Eastwood riding a horse thru the desert (new to me, also). Pretty.
Yea Fleetwood Mac did Black Magic Woman…I like Carlos's version better but yea it's good.
Lol Eastwood riding a horse..good description.
You and I are hitting some real common ground here. That like take is killer. A favorite tune of mine. The early Mac is where I live.
That version of the band is overshadowed by the later one but Peter Green was awesome. Glad you liked it.
Like I said the early 'Mac' is the stuff I like. I hung on until 'Bare Trees' then faded. I've hooked up with a guy that runs his own internet station out of NY. I just turned him onto some of the early stuff and he's loving it. He played 'Worlds In A Tangle' another tune you'd dig if you havnet already.
It's been a while since I heard that one. When I posted this one I was going to do Man of the World…it was a tossup…thanks for bringing up Worlds in a Tangle…cool song.
I dont get into what versions of bands are better. To each their own. This version just gets my ear. Now I'm off to listen to Man Of The World.

Shotgun Software has announced Shotgun 7.0 and RV 7.0, the latest versions of its industry-standard cloud-based production tracking and shot review system and integrated image viewer and video player.
The update, which was announced at Siggraph 2016, enables Shotgun to make use of current editorial information for a project, meaning that a team can review its work in the context of the latest cut.
"VFX and animation studios need to constantly view their latest work in context of the cut, and yet editorial makes continual changes throughout the project" said Shotgun Software co-founder Don Parker.
Shotgun 7.0 enables the software to use the latest Edit Decision List (EDL) for a project, with users then able to view the current cut either in their web browser or the RV desktop player.
As well as seeing a shot as part of the full cut, the system supports what Shotgun terms 'mini cuts': the shot in question plus a user-specified number of other shots immediately before and after.
The implementation also supports overlapping cuts – for example, the :30, :60 and :90 cuts of a broadcast commercial – and alternate edits.
Editorial information is quickly published to Shotgun, summarizing changes that can be shared with anyone on the project.
Teams working through shot versions in review sessions can seamlessly switch between viewing the shot in the review playlist and viewing the shot in the context of the cut.
Quickly access a full history of all cuts on a project, including overlapping cuts such as :30, :60, :90 cuts on commercial projects, or both sequence and trailer cuts on film projects.
A new data model tracking the cut data is fully exposed in Shotgun's API so studios with development resources can integrate with their pipelines.
You can also read a slightly different summary, complete with accompanying screenshots, on Shotgun Software's blog.
In addition, Shotgun tells us that the notes panel within the software has been rebuilt, and that names now autocomplete when tagging in other artists on a review.
In other news, the developer has announced the winners of its Pipeline Awards, designed to recognise innovative new pipeline tools and the unsung heroes who create them. You can see the winners here.
Shotgun 7.0 and RV 7.0 are due for release on 31 July 2016.
RV is now included free with Shotgun, with pricing depending on the level of customer support: 'Awesome' support costs $30/account/month; 'Super Awesome' support costs $50/account/month.

When I printed the pattern out, correctly the 1″ square is 1″, the pieces don't seem to match up. If I match up the circles with the letter and number then those squares end up being roughly 1″ wide and 1 3/8″ long. If I make the squares 1″ square the circles do not match up. Trying to figure out which way is the correct way to match things up to ensure it all fits together correctly once I cut it out and start sewing. Help!!!
I think you might be assembling the pages incorrectly. You don't overlap the circles. Those are just present to show you which pieces to join. You join the pieces at the grid lines. So your grids should never overlap.
I haven't pieced that one but I have others, if your still having issues I could get a photo up for you of one I've done.
I'd appreciate a photo to make sure I'm doing this right!
Here's the latest digital pattern I've been working with, it is the back of the puppet show dress. Hopefully you can see how the circles are next to one another not on top. Once you get the hang it's pretty easy. Enjoy the pattern!

Martin had just received his brand new drivers license. The family troops out to the driveway, and climbs in the car, where he is going to take them for a ride for the first time. Dad immediately heads for the back seat, directly behind the newly minted driver.
"I'll bet you're back there to get a change of scenery after all those months of sitting in the front passenger seat teaching me how to drive," says the beaming boy to his father.
"Nope," comes dad's reply, "I'm gonna sit here and kick the back of your seat as you drive, just like you've been doing to me all these years."
A very successful businessman had a meeting with his new son-in-law. "I love my daughter, and now I welcome you into the family," said the man. "To show you how much we care for you, I'm making you a 50-50 partner in my business. All you have to do is go to the factory every day and learn the operations."
The son-in-law interrupted, "I hate factories. I can't stand the noise."
"I see," replied the father-in-law. "Well, then you'll work in the office and take charge of some of the operations."
"I hate office work," said the son-on-law. "I can't stand being stuck behind a desk all day."
"Wait a minute," said the father-in-law. "I just make you half-owner of a moneymaking organization, but you don't like factories and won't work in a office. What am I going to do with you?"
"Easy," said the young man. "Buy me out."

Angela Merkel to step down--as party leader
Voland
It was never in doubt that german chancellor Merkels fourth term would be her last. And those that are familiar with "merkelist" politics also never seriously doubted that the german leader would pick her time and style of departure, instead of waiting to be carried or pushed to the exit. While it is true that her fourth governement is her least popular, and mostly made headlines with infighting (especially Merkel and bavarian leader Seehofer), and it is also true that her CDU party suffered embarassing losses in the prosperous and actually conservative state of Hessen this weekend state elections aren´t federal elections ( just as in the US) and Merkel is still popular.
Yet she apparently considers the time appropriate to enter her own political dawn. Merkel has announced to step down as party leader ( that she was since 2000) and confirmed that she won´t run again for chancellor in 2021 (she was chancellor since 2005).
The decision is considered to give a successor time to grow into the position and thus whoever replaces her in party leadership is considered to be a hot pick for Germanys next leader. Merkel is considered to favour Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, a former governor of the western state of Saarland ( bordering France) and like her a centrist conservative. That Merkel denies to eye an EU post is something that noone HAS to believe. A lot can change in a few years :
https://www.politico.eu/article/merk...eader-reports/
Bring me up to date, Voland: Did her party suffer some noteworthy losses in a recent election?
Originally posted by DavidSF View Post
Yes, they have, though not to the extent of loosing power. And then people will tend to vote on state issues in local elections, not so much on federal issues. Yet the party leader bears at least political responsibility, as Merkel has acknowledged herself.
In a way that is a typical Merkel move. Most of all, she catches everybody off guard. In Bavaria she wasn´t even on the ballot ( but her inner coalition enemy Seehofer, that had his pants torn down, ) and in Hessen ( the state where Frankfurt is) the result was not as bad at it could have been. And most of all the CDU didn´t loose power. And thus a retreat at this point in time wouldn´t have been compulsory.
But by making this announcement now, she avoids the vultures circling over her ( and disturbing her attempts to set her legacy). She leaves on her own terms and has set the date anyway.
She achieves quiet on the inner party front (where Merkel has a considerable number of enemies), because potential successors will now go to battle with each other ( and not with the chancellor) , which means that Merkel will be freer of party constraints in decisions as chancellor.
How long the current governement lasts ( which is obviously not a love marriage) will also depend on who the party elects as leader, a centrist and Merkel loyalist like Mrs. Kramp-Karrenbauer ( also known as "AKK" in german politics) or minister of economics Peter Altmeier or a rightie like health minister Jens Spahn. That would be a risky move though, since the CDU has (evidently) lost more votes in the political centre than on the right recently. If it is the latter than I would expect new elections rather sooner than later. And whoever it is, will almost certainly run for the chancellery after Merkel.
Well, it is the end of an era. On the other hand Merkels announcement today is probably the smartest and least disruptive way to manage such a transition. Regardless wether one likes Merkel or not, it is a positive sign if political leaders know when it is time to take a step back.
Merkels successor will almost certainly be one of these people :

This lineup looks like picks for the next ministry and/or the transition team should CDU/alliance continue in majority in 2021. That is typical in most republics. A couple things stand out for me: Friedrich Merz has been in the private sector now for several years, but announced he would jump back in immediately after Merkel's announcement. That's curious, unless Merz has been keeping up his contacts within the gov't., offering his opinions in the press over the years and otherwise keeping his chair warm.
The other thing is the "spread" or range of political alliance taken on by the CDU. We are presented with Bouffier from the state of Hesse, leading an alliance with the Greens. OTOH, we see Söder from Bavaria, in a leadership arrangement involving the CDU and CSU. In short, a center/left alliance in one state, a center/right alliance in another. The CDU has apparently achieved one of the most sought-after goals of political parties 'round the world: It has it's fingers in nearly every pie. Was this a recent strategy developed by Merkel's group, or was this a longer term objective going back decades in the CDU?

It is not unusual in german politics to switch back and forth between private sector, "real life" and politics. Merkel was a scientific researcher with a doctorate in physics prior to entering politics in her late thirties. Friedrich Merz is a respected tax and finance expert (also respected across party lines) and he was also considered "chancellor material" by some - - prior to falling from grace with Merkel ( that tended to deal swiftly and brutally with potential challengers). Which is why he understandably took a job in the private sector. Yet as far as a comeback is concerned : He might be a possible pick for minister of economics or finance in a future CDU government, and even a sensible one, yet he is Merkels age. And he has not been a political insider for the last decade or so, which means that it may not be very likely for him to get the top job.
As far as permanent coalitions are concerned : The fathers (and mothers) that stood by the cradle of the Federal Republic in 1949 were mostly people with personal experience of naziism, concentration camps, gulags and Gestapo terror. They sought to build a political system that never concentrates too much power in one position, that cannot easily be taken over by mobs or elites and that forces political players to permanently interact with each other. Which keeps political discourse rather civil. You have to keep your options open, if you want to govern. Merkel has governed in tandem with the Libertarians (FDP) as well as the Social Democrats and the Bavarian Separatists (CSU). On the state level her party is in a coalition with the Greens as the junior partner ( supporting the green governor !) in the auto state of Baden-Wuertemberg and in Hessen, two of the most prosperous corners of the country. Under the german system ( that is often ignored abroad) the chancellor is as much a moderator and a mediator ( keeping partners in check through constant compromise) than a leader. The pragmatic centrist Merkel was obviously more suitable than most to govern with everyone except far left and far right. Her successor ? We will have to see. Yet the system is stable. What is changing is the post-war political makeup (with two large center-right/left parties running the show by picking partners), social milieus, demographics and all that. Yet it is rather likely that also the next chancellor will be from the CDU, with a rather centrist profile-and I would pay attention to the Greens as potential partners.
And if I am supposed to bet than I would say Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer ("AKK") is a name that someone interested in German (and european politics) could do worse than to keep in mind.
Three of the line-up above begin to emerge as serious candidates, with one more waiting in the wings (for probably having the last laugh).
Friedrich Merz is the most high-profile candidate and he is well connected in business and industry. Also internationally he would largely stand for continuity. He is also chairman of an organization promoting close german/american ties, the "Atlantic Bridge". Yet he is Merkels age (a new beginning? Hardly) and he is remarkably less scandal-proof. He was't in the past and today every journalist in Germany would sell his granny and her dog to come up with dirt on Merz prior to the party convention, which is not at all out of the question. Most probably in connection to his involvement with various players in global finance industries that have made certain headlines during the 2008 meltdown. A party leader and candidate for the chancellery Merz would let the AFD rejoice ("global capitalist") and would limit the CDUs coalition options.
Health Minister Spahn is an outspoken rightie, that has various times tried to surf populist waves (like during the refugee crisis). As minister he has in all fairness not excelled yet putting him in a minister chair was merely a tactical move from Merkel anyway. As party leader he would lead the CDU firmly to the right, probably to the extent of crushing the AFD. Or forcing them to drop their more rowdy elements to be prepared for potential coalitions. Yet he would tear the party apart. Which is why he won't make it.
Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer is a loyal Merkel ally and stands for a similar, centrist political course. She has not served as minister but already run a state as governor (including beeing re-elected). And while Merkel won't openly endorse her it is quite clear who her supporters will put on the shield. With "AKK" the CDU also has more coalition options. The Greens might not stand for Merz and they certainly won't for Spahn. Yet coalition options can be key to power options.
And lastly there is Armin Laschet, governor of the most populous state of Nordrhein-Westfalen (where Cologne is) waiting in the wings. Laschet belongs to the liberal wing of the CDU on societal matters, but he is also law and order. He has defended Merkel in the refugee crisis, but also ordered police crackdowns on unruly migrants. He is open to parliamentary cooperation with the Greens, yet has recently taken the side of energy companies in a confrontation over a historic forest cut down for coal mining. Laschet is flexible and astute enough to emerge as man of the match if all three fail. So he shouldn't be discounted.
I've read that also some US policymakers are increasingly concerned that Trump getting his more than once expressed wish ( Merkels political end) may actually not be in the USs interest. Less for fears of instability in Germany (that isn't wedded to Merkels political fate) but because no other european leader has Merkels authority. Like to knock heads together, to stare down Wladimir Putin or to pool european interests beyond her country. Having Merkel around also makes US foreign policy easier. Without her, some things get less predictable.
Friedrich Merz is old school (pre-Merkel CDU) right, Spahn is "new" populist right, and "AKK" is a "Merkelist" . The maximum that Spahn can hope for is to become kingmaker. Assuming he assembles enough votes. Merz is clearly the guy that german business would like. Yet he is not at all safely removed from anything that happened in the finance sector within the last one/two decades. He has run european operations of the not at all scandal - proof US fund administrator Blackrock for a couple of years f. e. He worked for two banks that can be linked to the "cum/ex" scandal (massive tax/fraud scandal based on exploiting inner EU loopholes). And he was already once fined by the Bundestag (German parliament) for undeclared side jobs. Merz is a big political talent, but more likely than not with skeletons in the closet. We will have to see.
AKK, beeing a "Merkelist" means for "real" conservatives that she has no non-negotiatable convictions at all. In other eyes she stands for the liberal, radically centrist, yet also values-based (refugee crisis?) political approach that also Merkel stood by (and with that she won elections) . And obviously : Regarding coalition options AKK is by far the most flexible.
Nahles is definitely out of the game (regarding her party's polling). The center/left force to watch will be the Greens, that have roots in the eco-movement, but that have long moved beyond that. They govern the auto-state Baden-Württemberg after all (home of Porsche and Mercedes). With the CDU as junior partner
On December 8th Germanys Christian Democrats (CDU, Conservatives) will pick their leader to succeed Merkel, which will have implications beyond Germany, since whoever gets chosen will also run for the Berlin chancellery. The international edition of Handelsblatt looks at a foreign policy lineup of the candidates. There is one mocked as a Merkel clone (with the best odds currently), a francophile, a russophile and one that the Trump administration might want to see in the drivers seat ( yet not likely to make it). Friedrich Merz, a tax and finance expert that Mrs. Merkel kicked out of party leadership more than a decade ago and that since then rose high in the finance industry ( the german face of the US fund administrator Blackrock) is the most high profile candidate and the most traditionally conservative (yet not considered at safe distance from dodgy dealings in global finance. Police raided his companys Berlin and Brussels offices only two weeks ago). Armin Laschet (not on the foto), state PM of Nordrhein-Westfalen ( where Cologne is) is the candidate waiting in the wings in case none of the others gets a convincing result (which is possible). He is considered to be a "Europeanist" and a proponent of closer relations with Russia and the candidate least attached to the transatlantic relationship. The more "transatlantic" candidates would be Merz ( traditional sense) and Spahn ("populist" right wing). Also Kramp-Karrenbauers foreign policy vision puts the EU first, yet on Russia she largely adopts Merkels more critical position. On european integration Spahn will be the most contrary, Merz the most traditional (largely keeping things as they are, no major changes), Kramp-Karrenbauer and Laschet (both from western Germanys border regions, where Paris and Brussels are closer than Berlin) those most willing to proceed :
https://global.handelsblatt.com/opin...-policy-983575
The party has spoken, and it has opted for centrism and continuity. Anyone paying attention to european politics should remember this woman, that has suceeded Mrs. Merkel as conservative leader and is now in pole position to take the chancellery/leadership of Germany as well ( within a while) :

Bertha Honoré Palmer
American philanthropist
Alternative Title: Bertha Honoré
Bertha Honoré Palmer, née Bertha Honoré, (born May 22, 1849, Louisville, Kentucky, U.S.—died May 5, 1918, Osprey, Florida), American socialite remembered especially for her active contributions to women's, artistic, and Chicago civic affairs.
Bertha Honoré in 1871 married Potter Palmer, a wealthy merchant who shortly afterward became identified with the Palmer House, one of the nation's premier hotels. Her husband's position automatically qualified Palmer for membership in Chicago's social elite. Her own abilities, tact, charm, and high goals won her undisputed leadership.
In 1891 Palmer was named chairman of the Board of Lady Managers for the World's Columbian Exposition to be held in Chicago two years later. Under her firm guidance the board created a highly effective female presence in the exposition. The Woman's Building, designed by Sophia Hayden, featured exhibits from 47 nations, many of them obtained through Palmer's personal acquaintance with political leaders and royalty. It was a highlight of the exposition and went far to demonstrate both the achievements of women around the world and the disabilities under which they yet laboured.
Palmer was a mainstay of Jane Addams's Hull House settlement, to which she gave both liberal financial and personal support, and from 1892 to 1896 she was a trustee of Northwestern University. She became first vice president of the Chicago Civic Federation (forerunner of the National Civic Federation) on its organization in December 1893. In 1900 she was appointed by President William McKinley the only woman among the U.S. commissioners to the Paris Exposition.
Palmer was an art collector of note, and she was guided by Mary Cassatt to an early appreciation of the Impressionists. Her social sphere was extended to Newport, Rhode Island, in 1896, and the same qualities that had brought her to the fore in Chicago conquered Eastern prejudices against Midwestern and newer money. After her husband's death in 1902, Palmer took over active management of his $8 million estate and more than doubled it in her remaining years. From 1910 she devoted much of her time to ranching and farming on her large estate in Florida.
Bertha Palmer, a Chicago socialite, established a citrus farm and cattle ranch there in 1910, which helped popularize the area. In 1929 John Ringling selected Sarasota as winter headquarters for the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, a position relinquished to nearby Venice in…

News of the Weird: The Litigious Society
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | • In 2009 Diane Schuler, with a 0.19 blood-alcohol reading (and marijuana in her system), drove the wrong way for two miles on a New York freeway, finally crashing into another car, killing three people and herself. In July 2011, her widower, Dave Schuler, filed a lawsuit against the state, alleging that the collision was the state's fault for not posting signs warning motorists like Diane Schuler that they were going the wrong way. (Dave Schuler's own private investigator told The Daily Cortlandt newspaper that he tried to discourage Schuler from filing the lawsuit, to no avail.) [The Daily Cortlandt (Cortlandt, N.Y.), 7-26-2011]
• "(My) client was devastated by what happened," said the lawyer for Jean Pierre in announcing Pierre's $80 million lawsuit in August against the city of Newburgh, N.Y. Pierre's estranged girlfriend had committed suicide by driving into a city lake, taking the couple's three small children to their deaths, also. In the time before he became devastated, Pierre had been arrested for failure to pay child support and for endangering one of his children (found wandering the street in freezing weather on a Super Bowl Sunday), and friends of his girlfriend told the New York Post that Pierre constantly abused her, including immediately before her final drive. [New York Post, 8-10-2011]
• Chicago's WLS Radio reported that a man (unnamed in the story) filed a $600,000 lawsuit on Sept. 2 against the Grossinger City Autoplex in the city, claiming that five employees had physically harassed him during business hours over a two-month period in 2009. Included was the man's claim that he had been given multiple "wedgies," one of which was a "hanging" wedgie. [WLS Radio, 9-3-2011]

Q: Declaring attributes when creating classes in Java Sometimes there are attributes that come about as a result of a mathematical operation. When declaring those attributes does one write the mathematical operation? For example, I need to write a class representing a moment in time with an attribute that has the amount of seconds since midnight for that moment in time. Would I declare it as such:
private long _secFromMid;?

Or would I need to declare it as
private long _secFromMid = ((_hour*60*60) + (_minute*60) + _second);?

Do we ever have mathematical operations when declaring attributes?

A: You can do any computations in initialization. Java compiler is smart enough to put things in order.
The only restriction is that you can only use another property if it has alread been declared.
See this working example.
class Test
{
    private String foo = "foo";
    private String fooBar = foo + "bar";
    private int x = 10;
    private int y = x * 10;
    private MyInt my = new MyInt(5);
    private int z = x * my.get();

    public static void main (String[] args) throws java.lang.Exception
    {
        Test t = new Test();
        System.out.println(t.foo);
        System.out.println(t.fooBar);
        System.out.println(t.x);
        System.out.println(t.y);
        System.out.println(t.z);
    }
}

For example, if I changed the code to this:
class Test
{
    private String fooBar = foo + "bar"; // inverted here
    private String foo = "foo";
    private int x = 10;
    private int y = x * 10;
    private MyInt my = new MyInt(5);
    private int z = x * my.get();

    public static void main (String[] args) throws java.lang.Exception
    {
        Test t = new Test();
        System.out.println(t.foo);
        System.out.println(t.fooBar);
        System.out.println(t.x);
        System.out.println(t.y);
        System.out.println(t.z);
    }
}

This will cause a compilation error:

Compilation error time: 0.1 memory: 320576 signal:0
Main.java:19: error: illegal forward reference
    private String fooBar = foo + "bar";
                            ^
1 error

Last weekend, we have been to the first WoodWave classic 2016 Carver Trophy, surfskate contest arranged in Pescara on the first "woodwave" of the world, suitably forged just for this new discipline. 16 athletes from various Italian cities -such as NAPLES, ROME, ANCONA, RAVENNA, PESCARA, CIVITAVECCHIA- faced each other to this emergent sport.
A thick audience kept company to all the surf-skaters during the competition and also the good weather and the vernal temperatures contributed to keep the right atmosphere of fun and competitive sport all day long.
In the morning, it took place the qualification phase while the actual contest was runned in the afternoon. Semifinals and finals were very tight! Edoardo Papa, who showed carvings and tricks of very high levels, merged as the indisputable winner of the contest. His performance was really close to the one of a real surfer!
About Edoardo performance, we must underline an excellent double perfect 10 reached during the semifinal, in which he managed to ring impeccable tricks of pure aerial style (air reverse front and back). But we also need to congratulate with Daniele Guzzone -second prize winner-, who couldn't get by with the outstanding performance of Edoardo during the really intense final.
We also found very interesting the performance of a young girl of the Andrea Papa's Surfing Sports Pescara Team. Her name is Camilla Colacito and she is just 15 years old. This young girl managed to get till the semifinals thanks to her excellent style and good tricks. She was the revelation of the contest ! If you have not done it yet, watch our video here above.

What Would Happen if the Euro Collapses?
Readers Question: What would happen if the Euro collapses?
The most likely scenario is that countries will leave one by one. A country would default on its debt and decide best option is to leave and create a new currency. The first country to leave would be Greece. Greece would be damaging, but if Greece was followed by bigger economies like Spain, Italy and Portugal it could be devastating. There would probably remain a small nucleus of countries around Germany in North Europe who manage to retain a common currency – Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxumbery – possibly France.
Capital Flows from Departing Countries.
If a country left, their new currency would devalue by 20-30%. Therefore, if you have savings in Italy / Greece, you could see a 20-30% devaluation in its value. Therefore, investors will seek to remove their savings from Italian banks and sell their Italian bonds. They would then put their money in the 'safer' northern block. Due to financial globalisation, it is relatively easy for people to quickly to withdraw their money. It would be much more damaging than say the run on Lehman Brothers. Therefore, countries leaving the Euro would see a potentially damaging level of capital flows. Outward capital flows would have bad impact on confidence. It would limit Italian banks ability to lend and would cause lower economic growth.
If there was a run on Italian banks, there would be knock on effects for other European banks and financial institutions who have stakes in Italian banks. They would lose money in the bank run, and there would be a fall in confidence. It would lead to a European wide decline in Bank Lending.
A credit crunch would lead to lower economic growth in Europe. It is hard to predict, but the uncertainty and scale of bank flows could lead to a significant drop in European output. This would be socially very damaging given scale of unemployment already in existence in Europe.
The UK could also see an appreciation in the Pound as investors seek alternatives to the Euro.
How Will Greater Germany be Affected?
If southern Eurozone economies leave the Euro, it will lead to a transfer of capital into Germany as investors seek a safe haven away from devaluaing southern Europe. This could lead to an appreciation in the remainder of the Euro, although if markets fear even future of Germany, they may seek other currencies. It also depends the extent of German losses from Italian and Spanish banks. However, Germany would be badly affected by a deep European recession because they rely on exports to other European economies.
What Would the Benefits of A Euro Collapse Be?
Many commentators focus on the short-term costs of a Euro break up. However, another way of looking at a Euro breakup is that it needs to break up or at least be fundamentally changed.
The fundamental uncompetitiveness of southern European economies is a disaster for their long term economy. (See: competitiveness of Europe) With current account deficits of close to 10% of GDP, their uncompetitiveness is leading to very high unemployment, very low economic growth and rising debt to GDP ratios. In the Euro, they fears years of austerity, low growth and high unemployment. Leaving the Euro, enables their currency to reach a level which reflects their underlying competitiveness. It means that out of the Euro, they will have more flexibility and will be able to at least target economic growth rather than the overwhelming insistence on budget cuts. From a social perspective which is worse?
10 years of spending cuts, lower growth with political over-sight from Germany or a devaluation and temporary capital flight?
The Euro may scrape through the next few years, but even if countries do survive, the fundamental problems will not be solved. There is still the inevitability that countries will have diverging competitiveness and the problems this brings in a single currency. Whilst the Euro survives in the current form, there will always be this risk that countries face negative growth, rising debt, high unemployment and no real viable policy measures to overcome them.
This will not be solved by any fiscal stability pact which limits government borrowing.
What Happens if Euro breaks up at FT?
Indeed I read there is already evidence in Greece of depositors moving their Euro's to banks outside Greece save they end up with devalued drachma's. However the end of the Euro may not necessarily mean the end of the EU – just 17 out of the 27 members have adopted the Euro.

A Jyotirlinga or Jyotirlingam, is a devotional representation of the Supreme God Shiva. Jyoti means 'radiance' and lingam the 'Image or Sign' of Shiva; Jyotir Lingam thus means the Radiant Sign of The Almighty Shiva. We visit 3 Jyotiling located in Maharashtra and nearby states. We visit bhimashankar in Pune, Trimbakeshwara near Nashik and Grishneshwar near Aurangabad. This is the holy trip in which we also visit Sri Sri Siddhivinayak temple at Mumbai.
The itinerary can be customized as per requirement of the traveller.
We reach Mumbai and travel to Bhimashankar Temple (Pune) and thereafter Shirdi by road.
Bhimashankar Temple is a Jyotirlinga place of worship found 50 km northwest of Khed (assumed name Rajguru Nagar), close to Pune, in India. It is found 127 km from Shivaji Nagar (in Pune) in the Ghat district of the Sahyadri slopes. Bhimashankar is additionally the wellspring of the stream Bhima, that streams southeast and converges with the Krishna waterway close to Raichur. Long back, in the thick woods of Dakini, on the grand scopes of the Sahyadris experienced the underhanded Asura by the name Bhima with his mom Karkati. Empathy and consideration shuddered within the sight of Bhima.
We pray at Ghrishneshwar Temple and Shani Shingnapur Temple . Observer the incredibly cut caverns.
Ghrishneshwar Temple is an extremely venerated sanctuary, arranged in the province of Maharashtra. It lies exceptionally close to the Buddhist hollows of Ellora, just a large portion of a kilometer away, and fills in as the habitation one of the 12 Jyotirlingas in India devoted to Lord Shiva. Indeed, even the Ajanta Caves and Dulatabad town of Maharashtra are arranged adjacent. The sanctuary, with impeccably etched dividers, was worked under the support of Queen Ahilyabai Holkar, one of the leaders of the past province of Indore.
These 34 monasteries and temples, extending over more than 2 km, were dug side by side in the wall of a high basalt cliff, not far from Aurangabad, in Maharashtra. Ellora, with its uninterrupted sequence of monuments dating from A.D. 600 to 1000,brings the civilization of ancient India to life. Not only is the Ellora complex a unique artistic creation and a technological exploit but, with its sanctuaries devoted to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism, it illustrates the spirit of tolerance that was characteristic of ancient India.
The famous sanctuary of Shani, the Hindu divine force of the planet (graha) Saturn is arranged in Shingnapur town of Ahmednagar locale, Maharashtra. Thus got its name, Shani Shingnapur Temple. The place is visited by enthusiasts coming in to pay regard to the Mighty Lord Shanidev. Shingnapur is well known for the way that no house in the town has entryways,just door jambs. Villagers trust that the sanctuary is a "jagrut devasthan" (Alive sanctuary), implying that the god here is intense. They trust that god Shani rebuffs anybody endeavoring robbery. The god here is "Swayambhu" (Sanskrit: self- advanced divinity) that is self-risen up out of the earth in a type of dark yet forcing stone.
Visit Trimbakeshwar temple of Lord Shiva. In the way to Shirdi, we visit the holy place from epic Ramayana - Panchwati & Ram Ghat. At last visit Shirdi temple of Sai Baba. Night stay at Shirdi.
Trimbakeshwar or Tryambakeshwar is an old Hindu sanctuary in the town of Trimbak, in the Trimbakeshwar tehsil in the Nashik District of Maharashtra, India, 28 km from the city of Nashik and 40 km from Nashik street. It is committed to the god Shiva and is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas. Lord Shiva is Supreme of the considerable number of Gods that is the reason he is known as Mahadev, who has the ability to hold individuals as well as the Devas. Lord Shiva is the destroyer, the greatest god and one of the Godheads in the Hindu Trinity.
At the point when Lord Rama and Lady Sita were requested to leave Ayodhya by dearest Step-Mother Kaikeyi under the affected of Manthara her cleaning specialist, the two remaining. Be that as it may, constrained by the adoration for his senior sibling, Lakshman additionally left with the couple on outcast for a long time. Panchavati was where the trio made their home while serving the outcast, the word actually signifying 'garden of five banyan trees'. The trees could, in any case, be found in the temple premises adjacent Sita Gufaa. The Godavari streaming adjacent, even the frightening timberlands with meandering creatures turned out to be sublime holiness.
Shirdi is a little town arranged in the Ahmednagar area of Maharashtra. Shirdi is one of the holiest places in India and is an extremely well-known journey spot. This place is renowned for the sanctum of'Sai Baba', which is the primary fascination for the fans who visit Shirdi. Sai Baba, who had a place to 20th century, is known as one of the best holy people to have strolled on earth. This holy person lived in Shirdi for the vast majority of his life-50 years or more. Sai Baba changed this little town into a blessed journey site for his enthusiasts. Numerous stories of the famous Sai Baba are related to this town. His benevolent love and commitment to the poor earned him regard for which he is exalted even at this point.
We visit and pray at Sri Siddhivinayak Temple in Mumbai. Rove in the Gate of India, told the story of the sacrifice of freedom fighters.
The icon of Shree Siddhivinayak was cut out of a solitary dark stone and is 2'6" (750mm) high and 2' (600mm) wide with the storage compartment on the right. This is fairly a surprising appearance of Lord Ganesh. The upper right and left hands hold a lotus and a hatchet individually while the lower right and left hands hold a rosary (japmala) and a bowl brimming with "Modak" separately. As it takes after the consecrated string, a snake shows up on the left shoulder to right side gut.
On the temple of god is an eye, which nearly resembles the third eye of Lord Shiva. On the two sides of the Lord Ganesh symbol, are put one icon every one of Riddhi and Siddhi goddesses who are seeming like peeping out of the Ganesh symbol from behind.
The basic outline of the Gateway of India is comprised of a vast curve, with a tallness of 26m. The landmark is worked in yellow basalt and constant cement. The auxiliary arrangement of Gateway of India is planned in the Indo-Saracenic style. It has the Muslim engineering styles fused in the structure of the pretentious building. The focal vault of the landmark is around 48 feet in the distance across, with an aggregate tallness of 83 feet. Outlined with mind-boggling latticework, the 4 turrets are the conspicuous highlights of the whole structure of the Gateway of India. There are steps built behind the curve of the Gateway that prompts the Arabian Sea.
At last we depart for home.

For as long as I've been married grits have been a staple at our house. Of course, the hubby and I like them served with a weekend breakfast. He likes them with a pat of butter and a touch of pepper. I like them with butter and a sprinkle of brown sugar.
Now, you may think you don't like grits, but they are wonderful in so many recipes, and I've shared a few of my favorites over the years. Grits Souffle is an all time winner, and if I don't mention the word grits, many who have been served this dish have gone back for seconds. Needless to say they are very surprised to discover how tasty grits can be.
Another standby is Shrimp and Grits, a dish that has become a common addition to many of today's restaurant menus. I'm not sure where it started but surely it was somewhere in the south.
Living in Maine half the year, lobster is very easy to come by so there was no question but to try something with lobster and grits. Talk about good!
Now, if you are preparing grits, here are a few helpful hints. 1) Instant grits can be used in any recipe to reduce cooking time. 2)You might want to use a nonstick pan as grits have a tendency to cling to the sides and bottom of a pan. A nonstick one sure makes the cleanup easier. 3)For best results, add grits to cold liquid and bring to a boil to avoid clumping. 4) It is best to use grits right after they are cooked as they don't have the same creamy texture when they are reheated. 5) The more butter and milk or cream that is used the creamier the grits. Makes sense, huh?
If you like polenta, chances are you'll like grits just as well as the two can be easily interchanged. Don't be afraid to give them a try.
I've never had grits and I think I've never seen them at the stores! The souffle seems yummy!
They are similar to polenta with just a slightly different texture.
Grits are a favorite at our house! I love that they have been elevated in restaurants, no longer just a humble Southern food!
Would you believe in Maine I have a hard time finding them?
Yes, it seems that grits, like brussels sprouts, have found their place on menus.
Well, one of these days you'll have to come to Maine so you can sample lobster and grits.
You're preaching to the choir here, sister!!! I'm a fan! Garlic/cheese grits with a splash of hot sauce, grits soufflé, shrimp and grits, "True Grit"…no, wait. That's a John Wayne movie. But you get the idea…I LOVE GRITS!!!!!!! My great-Grandmother hailed from Kentucky and made them for us as kids. My Mom – one of THE worst cooks on God's green earth – actually made them to taste pretty decent, too. As an adult, I learned to perfect the taste and texture to my liking. When I discovered shrimp and grits, my world became a better place! Mmm, mmm, good!!!!!!!!!!!!
Something else we agree on! I've never understood why some folks don't like them as there are so many things one can do with them.
Love grits any way they are prepared!
Yes to grits as I grew up in the south. Love them but don't care for instant grits… the texture is too soft.
Ok… as your curious European: My question is "are Grits the same thing that you would find in the UK and new Zealand called "porridge" ? (porridge isn't a Dutch thing and I don't think this is what the Dutch call "Pap").
I'm intrigued to find out exactly what this might be.
I don't think porridge is the same as grits which are ground corn. In Europe, I think polenta would be the closest thing.
just an extra after thought: does growing up with something make a huge difference to personal taste?
I've tried haggis and hated it… scots clearly differ, I love Marmite, sprouts and lamb, but not liver (no one in my family ever cooked it). Himself grew up with harring… (raw herring) I tried.. ugh, either you love or hate it. he adores it, you can guess which camp I am in !
Some things will never be an acquired taste, so trying even over and over doesn't always help.
Maybe growing up with a food makes a difference in one's response. I like to try all things new and decide whether or not I like it. Sometimes yes, sometimes no!
I've never made grits and maybe before I die I will!
You should give them a try as there're so many things you can do with them!
We love grits too! Lobster and grits… you had me at Hello!

" I get it; believe me. But life...things happen. You're going down one path, and it seems like a nice path-it is a nice path-and then, next thing you know it's like-whoa. Wrong path. Not the path for me. But that's good. It's good. Because you learn. And you handle it. "
— George O'Malley
George O'Malley was a surgical resident at Seattle Grace Hospital. As an intern, George got off to a rough start but quickly became a very skilled and talented surgeon. He was best friends with Izzie Stevens. He was married to Callie Torres but divorced after he cheated on her. He was kind-hearted, compassionate, and loyal. He died after jumping in front of a bus to save a woman's life.
As a child, he was teased by a neighbor, Mike Wilden. Eventually, he snapped and hit Mike's face with a stick. When Mike's father later came over and yelled at George's father, Harold asked George if it was true. When George denied it, Harold and Mike's father got into a big fight. Harold believed George because he thought he never lied. As a result of the fight, Mike's family threw eggs at George's house and Ronny and Jerry blew up their lawn mower.
In school, George was a mathlete. He won a blue ribbon in science for dissecting a fetal pig and was secretary and treasurer of the Dungeons and Dragons club, which is another example of his difference from his brothers.
He asked a girl out to prom and she said yes. He was surprised since she was cooler than he was. On the night of the prom, he got his dad's car for the night and rented the most expensive tux he could afford. He and his date enjoyed the prom until there was an after-party that they were supposed to go to. As they were driving, she asked him to go to the local college and it turned out that she wanted him to drop her off at her boyfriend's dorm. He dropped her off and even waited to make sure that she arrived okay.[1]
He went to medical school at the School of Medicine at Oregon Health & Science University.
Heart Surgery in the Elevator Edit
George operates in the elevator.
When George was an intern, he and Alex were treating a GSW (Gun Shot Wound) patient. They were in the elevator with him and it broke down. Burke squeezed some supplies through the elevator so they could perform the surgery and talked George through the steps. Alex was too scared to do it, although he never admitted it, and later he was made fun of because he chickened out. George successfully completed the procedure in the elevator and saved the patient's life.

George's father told him before his death to be with Callie. Shortly after his death, George then proposed to Callie (later admitting he did so because she said she love him and it was his father's dying wish for George to be with Callie). They got married in Vegas and George had a hard time as the other interns, especially Izzie, thought he made a mistake by marrying her.
Callie was suspicious of George and Izzie's friendship and told George that she thought Izzie was in love with him. After this fight, George went to see Izzie and the two got very drunk and slept together. George felt extremely guilty for cheating on Callie but ultimately decided he was in love with Izzie, not Callie. Callie suspected George was having an affair and both Mark and Addison encouraged Callie to act on her suspicions.
Later, George told Callie that he slept with Izzie.
Failing His Intern Exam Edit
George failed his exam because he had been distracted by all of his life problems on the day of the exam. He was trying to help Meredith with her problems with Derek and the death of her mother. George had to retake his intern year, he was one of Meredith's interns. George tried to keep the fact he was retaking a secret from the other interns and was doing well with the help of his fellow intern Lexie Grey, but Alex told all of the other interns that were praising him that they really shouldn't because he is really a repeater.
Passing His Intern Exam Edit
George intended to transfer to Mercy West after his internship. After failing his intern exam, George needed to repeat his intern year at Seattle Grace. As a repeat intern, George became popular among the new interns and eventually became the Chief's intern (a job that Chief Webber made up for George). Soon, he and Lexie, whom he moved in with after his break-up with Callie, discovered that he only failed his exam by one point. George then confronted the Chief and asked to be allowed to retake the exam early. He passed and became a resident.
Relationship with Izzie Edit
George had a complicated relationship with Izzie. They were best friends and roommates. He and Stevens shared many fond memories together such as talking about his crush and about "Jimmy and the twins." George slept with Izzie and they both admitted that they were in love with one another, their romantic relationship ended George's marriage with Callie. However, they had a shortlived romantic history, which broke off eventually.
Interest in Trauma Surgery Edit
Death Edit
After he joined the army to be a trauma surgeon, Richard gave him the last day in the hospital off to spend time with his family. On his way home, George jumped in front of a bus to save a woman's life. No one knew who he was because he was unrecognizable until Meredith went into check on "John Doe". George took her hand and traced '007'. Meredith quickly figured out that it was, in fact, George. Many people didn't believe that it was George because there was no proof that he really did trace 007. Callie Torres remembered that George had a birthmark on his hand that looked like Texas, so she went to check and found his birthmark on his hand. His brain swelled during surgery and he was ultimately declared brain dead. Most of his organs were donated following the surgery.
He was mentioned again when his mother was admitted to Seattle Grace Mercy West following a botched operation at another hospital. It is during her surgery that Miranda Bailey admitted to Meredith that George was her favorite intern.
Posthumous History Edit
Day of the Dead Edit
George was among the spirits who visited Meredith on Day of the Dead.[2]
George was compassionate and kind. During his early years, he spent his time camping with his father and his brothers hunting turkeys, although George refused to kill one every single year. George was often teased by his brothers due to his apparent lack of masculinity.
He was also very emotionally attached to his dog Bucky, whom he thought had run away, not knowing that his father accidentally ran over and killed the dog after he was chasing after the truck and got caught under the tire. His father, knowing that George would be devastated, lied to him.
George O'Malley loved his friends and was always there for them. He was a loyal friend and he was always ready for anything, even if at first he doubted himself. He was passionate about his job and he enjoyed helping people whenever he could.
Izzie Stevens Edit
George and Izzie become friends immediately.
As Cristina and Meredith quickly became friends and the other interns disliked Alex, George and Izzie quickly made friends and soon became best friends. Together they realized that they only watched and they needed to become "doers". Their friendship remained strong, although George disliked her relationship with Alex. After George slept with Meredith, he moved out and blamed Izzie. While treating a patient, they became best friends again, and their patient told George that he and Izzie argued so much because they cared about each other so much. George moved back into the house, which made Izzie happy (although she strongly disliked his girlfriend, Callie Torres). Izzie made fun of Callie constantly, especially when she found out Callie's middle name was Iphegenia. After seeing the ring George got Callie, she said, "Tiny diamonds are great because you know what? No one will ever try to steal it." Callie later told George that Izzie acted that way because she loved him.
George and Izzie realize that it isn't the right time for them and stay friends.
After an argument, George left to ask Izzie for her support. They started drinking heavily and woke up the next day after having sex. Only Izzie remembered but after a while, George did too. He decided to pretend it never happened and didn't tell Callie. However he and Izzie shared another kiss and on Cristina's wedding day she told him that she would support him and Callie if he loved her but that she still loved him. After eighteen days of ignoring her, George told Izzie he wanted to be with her too but he needed to break up with Callie first. It took a while but eventually he told Callie he slept with Izzie. However, she misunderstood him and forgave him and took him back. He and Callie divorced later and Izzie and George started up a relationship. However, after failing to recreate the great sex they had before, they decided that although they had great chemistry it wasn't the right time. They decided to stay friends and maybe have a romantic relationship someday. When Izzie started seeing Denny, George was the first to notice something was wrong but she denied any accusations. George took it hard when Izzie told Cristina about her cancer before him. He started to avoid her but almost immediately he befriended her again. He supported her through her cancer, reminding her she was a doer. When George was rushed into a surgery and Izzie started to flatline, in a dream of some sort she went into an elevator and then saw George when the doors opened signifying his death.
Callie Torres Edit
The newly-weds, Callie and George
After his disastrous incident with Meredith, George focused on avoiding her. However, he fell down the stairwell at Seattle Grace and went to ortho to get his arm fixed. He met Callie and she gave him her phone number. He didn't call her for a while so Callie refused to speak with him. However he soon called and she forgave him. They began dating, much to the disapproval of Izzie. At the prom, Callie confessed to George that she loved him, but he didn't respond, as Izzie needed him for an emergency. George later told her that he didn't love her yet, but he could, and he didn't want to say it until he really meant it. However, George continued to leave Callie whenever Izzie or Meredith had a problem, which prompted Callie to break up with him and start sleeping with Mark Sloan. After discovering that Callie was sleeping with Sloan he refused to have any relationship with her. But they grew close again when George's father was admitted, and they kissed. After George's father died, George became addicted to sex to forget about his pain, and later he proposed to Callie. They flew to Las Vegas, and after two weeks they returned to Seattle Grace as a married couple.
After speaking with his friends, George became worried that he made the wrong decision but eventually decided that he did make the right choice. However, after a fight with Callie, he went to visit Izzie. They got drunk and had sex, but George believed it was a mistake and they should forget what happened. After sharing another kiss with Izzie in an elevator, he decided that he was going to transfer to Mercy West. He and Callie decided to start trying to have a baby, but Izzie told George that she still had feelings for him. After 17 days of avoiding her, he decided he wanted to be with her so told Callie about the affair. She misunderstood and forgave him and took him back but the situation was cleared up and they decided to divorce. After the divorce, they remained friends.
George's family (minus his father).
Harold and Louise O'Malley Edit
He loved his parents very much. After his father died, he said he would've given his heart to him.
Jerry and Ronny O'Malley Edit
George never got on well with his brothers. His brothers were jocks and he was a mathlete. However, they still protected him when they felt they had to. When the O'Malley family fought with the Wilden family, Ronny and Jerry blew up the Wilden's lawnmower for George. Every year at Thanksgiving, the brothers and their father would hunt turkeys. George refused to shoot the turkey but after years of refusing, George eventually gave in so that he could go back home and stop having to "choose a car". After hearing that George only assisted in surgeries, his brothers refused to call him a "real doctor" and often made fun of him. Overall, George is very different from his brothers.
Lexie Grey Edit
Lexie steals for George.
After being separated from his class, George befriended Lexie. Lexie became like a best friend to George, and they even rented an apartment together. However, the apartment was awful, so in an attempt to get George to stay at their "crapartment", Lexie began stealing things from the hospital. George stayed and they grew closer but he got mad at her after she revealed that he only failed his exam by one point. However, Lexie's snooping managed to get George another chance at taking his intern exam and in a rush of excitement, he kissed her and she realized she had feelings for him. She continued to stay his friend, secretly loving him, but after becoming a resident, he forgot about Lexie and all her help so she refused to speak to him. George realized she liked him, but after she forgave him, she started to take an interest in Mark instead, so they remained friends.
Cristina Yang Edit
George and Cristina had lots of problems with their friendship. Cristina always treated George like a child and eventually called him "007" and "Bambi". George was also one of the first to find out about Burke and Cristina's relationship. When George moved in with the two of them, she walked around the apartment naked once and Burke kicked George out.
Things got worse when Burke was shot and received surgery. After the procedure, Burke began to get tremors in his right hand, and in Cristina's attempt to protect Burke, she didn't tell anyone. When George found out, he remembered that Burke was scheduled to operate on his (George's) father. After this point, George and Cristina's relationship worsens. George later explains that the reason he chose Cristina and Burke to operate on his father was that Cristina was a robot, "a robot in a white coat who never makes a mistake." Cristina even tells his mother, Louise, that George is the best intern and a good person, and that his mother raised a good human being.
George was angry at Cristina for hiding Burke's tremor, and when all the interns forgave her, he did not, telling Meredith that she was the one that started calling him 007, and he didn't owe her any kind of support. When George's father died, at the beginning he was not able to talk to anyone, yet Cristina allowed him to and told him her father also died when she was little and said she was sorry to welcome him to the "Dead Dad's Club"; she understood how it felt to be without a father. After this revelation, they seemed to be cordial to each other.
When Cristina found out that George signed up for the army, she cared for him, yet she described him as "the guy who gets killed while cleaning his own gun."
Meredith Grey Edit
George and Meredith apologize during a time-out.
From the moment George O'Malley met Meredith, he fell in love with her. Meredith however, was in love with Derek Shepherd so she never really thought about George as more than a friend. Only a patient and George's best friend Izzie knew how he felt about Meredith. After a small push from Izzie, George decided to tell Meredith how he felt. Meredith had had a very bad day at work so when George confessed his feelings for her, she thought that maybe George was her guy and she had just overlooked him. They proceeded to kiss but during sex, knowing it wasn't right, Meredith burst into tears. George was humiliated and furious and for weeks he refused to speak to her. Eventually he accepted her apology but admitted that he was partly to blame too, he had known how she felt about Derek and knew she didn't love him.
Their friendship continued and he moved back to her house. When George discovered that he had to repeat his intern year, he drew away from his group of friends but things soon went back to normal and Meredith and George's friendship continued, and was strengthened as she was his resident. On George's last day at Seattle Grace, he was hit by a bus and nobody could recognize him. Meredith was his doctor and although she didn't communicate with him often, she defended him in front of some of the other doctors and after he traced the word "007" on her hand, she realized it was him and had him rushed into the O.R.
Alex Karev Edit
Ever since the start of their internship, Alex has disliked George. On their first day as interns, George was given the name 007 (when he froze in his first surgery) by Alex and it was the start of their mutual dislike for each other. Later on, George learned that he had contracted syphilis from his girlfriend Olivia. George was given the name "Syph-boy" by Cristina but soon learned that Alex was the person that gave syphilis to Olivia, which lead to Alex being punched by George. And on a different occasion, when Alex told George that Callie had slept with Mark Sloan, George went into denial and got into another fight with him.
Alex repeatedly and frequently pointed out George's flaws - calling him weak and pathetic more than once - but Alex later revealed that he actually respected George and that if he were still alive then he would have beaten all the other residents at each milestone (1st solo surgery, chief resident, etc.). Professionally, George had beaten Alex during important situations, even though Alex was better at poaching surgeries, George would have been better at dealing with emergency cases while Alex would just have frozen (e.g. heart in the elevator). Later, when George's mother returned, which brings back memories of George, Alex revealed to Cristina and Meredith that he didn't like to think of George because it reminded him of Izzie (his ex-wife) which brought pain.
Over the years, Alex's views on George softened. When Meredith, Callie, and Alex were dicussing all of the different doctors that lived in Meredith's house, George was brought up and Alex made a somber toast in his honor, showing that he truly did see him as a friend.
Miranda Bailey Edit
In the beginning, Miranda Bailey didn't care much for George. She treated him the same as any other intern, but after George helped deliver her baby when she was going through a rough time; she gained so much respect and gratitude for him. She even named her child after him, giving him the middle name George. Although there was never a strong friendship, they gained a bond beyond professional. When Miranda heard George had signed up for the army, she, along with Callie, tried her best to convince him not to go. When George died, she suffered a great loss. Later, when George's mother came to Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital for a surgery, Miranda wanted to make sure she got the best possible treatment. During surgery, Miranda revealed to Meredith that George was her favorite intern and was very saddened by his death, showing that she cared a tremendous amount for George O'Malley.
Richard Webber Edit
Since George failed his first intern exam, Richard was more interested in the potential and knowledge that George had. Richard often gave guidance to George and helped him through many of his surgeries. After George passed away, Richard was very moved and sad. In a conversation with Derek Shepherd, he let him know that he was teaching George so Derek could later take over for him as Chief of Surgery of Seattle Grace.
Owen Hunt Edit
When Owen and George were operating, Owen immediately saw that George had talent for Trauma Surgery. Eventually, Owen focused his teaching on George. Later, behind the scenes, Owen told George that he should join the army, and that George is going to be one of the finest trauma surgeons he's ever known. George's plans were stopped in their tracks, however, when he got hit by a bus and died in surgery.
When he realized that George was brain-dead, Owen asked Chief Webber if he was a donor, since he could save many lives.
Preston Burke Edit
Upon first meeting George, Burke disliked him. George accidentally offended him and Burke chose George to be the intern he punished a lot which would force the others to fall in line. He allowed George to scrub in with him on his first day and insulted and terrified him. However, after working on more cases, George and Burke grew to have a friendship and Preston christened George his "guy". When George moved out of Meredith's house and had nowhere to go, Burke allowed him to sleep at his apartment. They went running together and acted like a team constantly. Eventually, Cristina managed to get George to move out but he and Burke remained friends, even after he left Cristina on their wedding day.
Derek Shepherd Edit
George initially disliked Shepherd because of the latter's relationship with Meredith. During his neurosurgery rotation, he called out on the anesthesiologist Dr. Taylor after smelling alcohol in his breath but was dismissed by Shepherd. When Dr. Taylor fell asleep during surgery, Shepherd promptly kicked him out. After the surgery, Derek commended George for speaking up and admitted that he, as the main surgeon and attending in charge, was at fault for failing to notice Dr. Taylor's breath.
George died on Shepherd's operating table. Shepherd had saved him the first time but he coded the second time as his injuries were too extensive.
Sadie Harris Edit
George didn't have a close relationship with Sadie. He also didn't understand how Meredith could be friends with her. During the intern bowl, he noticed Sadie didn't have the basic medical knowledge for her level. He also caught her cheating to win. George offered her assistance, but at the end, he gave her an ultimatum that he would tell the chief or she would have to. After that, Sadie quit and called George an "ass".
Erica Hahn Edit
While not known for being friendly towards interns and residents, Erica Hahn did not seem to treat George any differently from other interns and residents. She did not seem to have a problem with him being in her O.R. Before starting her employment as head of cardiothoracic surgery at Seattle Grace, George 'hired' her to operate on his father as he knew of Preston Burke's tremor following his gunshot wound. Despite clashing with George during her tenure as his father's surgeon, she did not appear to hold this against him during her time at SG. George managed to talk two of Hahn's reluctant patients into having surgery. Hahn was called to Seattle Grace to harvest a heart from a brain-dead car accident victim whose father was in the hospital awaiting a heart transplant. He refused to take his daughter's heart. However, he agreed after George told him he would have donated his heart to his father if it would have saved him. George later also talked a frightened 8-year-old into having heart surgery after showing him the inside of an O.R. so he would know how things worked in there and would no longer be scared. While Hahn originally refused, she eventually consented to the plan.
George holds a dress for Mark.
Mark Sloan Edit
Mark Sloan disliked most interns and George was no exception. After George and Callie divorced, Mark decided to humiliate George for Callie so when two patients were admitted in a competition which involved holding a wedding dress, Mark ordered George to hold the dress while he treated one of the girls.[3]
Others Edit
Amanda Edit
Amanda stays with George.
George met Amanda the day before he left to join the army. They met at a bus stop but when he smiled at her she ignored him, interested in finding better-looking guys, a bus almost hit Amanda. George threw himself under it and pushed her out of the way, saving her life. They were brought to Seattle Grace, George's face unrecognizable and Amanda's arm in a sling. Because nobody knew who the John Doe was, no family was called so Amanda refused to leave his side. She stayed with him as much as possible. Before discovering it was George, Meredith said to him that he "...made a good friend there. Guess thats what happens when you take a bus for someone".
Carlos Torres Edit
Mr. Torres holds George by the neck.
When Mr. Torres first met George, he mistrusted him because he assumed that George had married Callie for her money. It didn't help that George was hungover. Callie, her father, and George met at Joe's bar where they discussed finance and how George apparently talked too much. However, when Mr. Torres started talking about giving them money, George refused it having just remembered sleeping with Izzie the previous night. Mr. Torres later approached him and told him that he just wanted to protect his daughter and warned George not to hurt her. Months later after George and Callie's divorce, Mr. Torres came to visit his daughter at Seattle Grace. When he spotted George he pushed him up against a wall and threatened to kill him for cheating on Callie but Callie told her father that she had cheated on him with Mark too. Mr. Torres dropped George who ran away and grabbed Mark Sloan instead.
He attended Oregon Health & Science University School of Medicine.
When George applied to become an intern at Seattle Grace, he barely made it into the program (although George later discovered he had the most, and best, recommendation letters). During the beginning of his internship, he was picked by Dr. Preston Burke to perform the first surgery of all the interns. During the surgery, he almost killed the patient and earned the nickname "007" (after James Bond's License to Kill). Later in their intern year, George and Alex Karev get stuck in an elevator with a patient who has been shot. The patient begins to bleed out and when Alex freezes up, Burke has to talk George through surgery and George "flies solo" for the first time.
At the end of his intern year, George failed his intern exams. By the time the summer ended, George seemed to have changed his mind and went ahead with repeating his internship with Meredith as his resident.
Initially, none of the new interns knew that George was a repeat intern. Lexie kept his secret and stayed by his side as a friend when all of the other interns find out about it. He moves in with her and starts accepting and living with what he has, befriending the other interns and hosting a party at their ugly apartment (or as they called it, crapartment). It was later revealed that George failed the intern exam by only 1 point and received 14 outstanding letters of recommendation, making him and Lexie doubt his repeated internship even more. During a brief outburst at the chief, George is allowed to retake the intern exam. When he comes home to Lexie, they share a brief celebratory kiss although just as friends (although Lexie looked hopeful for more). George finally passes his intern exam, after a little difficulty from a hospital flooding and after a little friction with his interns, he became as qualified as the rest and as Izzie tells him he is the best, putting the most time into teaching and hours in the skill lab.
Owen Hunt joins the hospital, he notices George's talent in trauma surgery and urges him to choose Trauma as his specialty. After connecting with a patient from Iraq, who like himself, had a family completely different from him, George decided to go to be commissioned as a medical officer in the Army and serve in Iraq.
After telling the Chief of his decision, he was given the day off to spend some time with his family before he left, preventing an intervention by Bailey, Callie, Meredith, Cristina, Izzie, and Alex. The same day, a patient was admitted after jumping in front of a bus to save a woman, his face unrecognizable with severe injuries to his left arm, head, face, pelvis, and abdomen. Meredith was the resident assigned to the case and remained with the patient, and he attempted to communicate with her using his hand due to him being intubated. The second attempt to communicate with Meredith, he wrote down the numbers 007 for her. Initially confused, Meredith realized that it was George writing his nickname. She got up and told all the other doctors. George was rushed into surgery while Izzie coded. In some sort of afterlife, dream, or hallucination, the two met, Izzie in her prom dress and George in an army uniform.
George in his army uniform.
He and Lexie nicknamed their apartment The Crapartment.
George had seen Meredith, Izzie, Callie, Cristina, and Olivia naked.
He had a freckle in the shape of Texas on his right hand.[4]
George could play the clarinet.
He had a Catholic background.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Shonda Rhimes has said that she requested T.R. Knight to return for the Season 6 premiere, to see George's last day, from when he left the hospital to when he would later return as John Doe.
His last line in the show was 'Yeah, that's where I thought we'd start.' (to Bailey), not including him writing '007' on Meredith Grey's hand.
George was the first character aside from Meredith to narrate an episode.
George was the first intern to perform a solo surgical procedure, albeit coached by Burke, when he cut into a patient in the elevator, garnering the moniker "Heart in the Elevator Guy."
George also had the most letters of recommendation (14) when he applied for the surgical program.
In the alternate universe, he did not return to the hospital after failing his intern exam and has not been seen or heard from since.[5]
He was 29 years old when he died.
His kidneys went to St. Luke's Children's Hospital in Boise, Idaho, for Molly Kemper, age 8, who had hypoplastic kidneys.
His heart and lungs went to Portland Medical Center in Portland, Oregon, for Terry Class, age 22, who had cystic fibrosis.
In George's final scene, we learn he was granted the rank of Captain, which is the entry-level rank for Army physicians.
When he was in high school, he was secretary and treasurer of the Dungeons and Dragons Club.[6]
He was a mathlete.[7]
He won the blue ribbon in biology club for the best fetal pig dissection.[8]

Heart-Shaped Box
George: I get it; believe me. But life...things happen. You're going down one path, and it seems like a nice path-it is a nice path-and then, next thing you know it's like-whoa. Wrong path. Not the path for me. But that's good. It's good. Because you learn. And you handle it.
George: Did you only shave one leg?
George (to Meredith): McDreamy did the McNasty with a McHottie? That McBastard.
George (to Bex): You just have to get through high school. 'Cause high school sucks for anyone who's the least bit different. But then there's college, and then out in the real world, you'll find where you fit in.
