Exile on Main Street: "Of course, I didn't leave it alone, SUE ME!"
Welcome back, everyone!!! Here we all are, Season 6 has arrived after a long and at times excruciatingly HOT, dog days of summer. We have entered the autumnal equinox (in my case, the hot, dog days of summer has seen fit to carry over into the fall, how I LONG for cool weather) and finally our first episode has aired. The anticipation over and the reality finally here.
Confession here ("What? Already?" you might be asking), though I was looking forward to the start of Season 6 and all the lovely new twists and turns that were awaiting all of us around those familiar, dark and yet new corners, I was dreading this first episode. I was worried that I would be so in pain about how things had been left in Swan Song that I wouldn't be able to stomach Dean living a normal life.
Sounds terrible of me, doesn't it? Well, I admit it, it was terrible of me to wish Dean so ill as to deny him the happy, "apple pie life" that he has earned, deserved, and wished for, not only by him in secret dreams he had never expressed to anyone, by us DeanGirl fans, of course, and most importantly by Sam as well, ah, but therein lies the crux of my dilemma. Dean wasn't living the happy, apple pie life out of choice, of his own free will, not really and not down in his own soul. Happiness borne from obligation is never true happiness and more importantly, happiness marred by guilt will never last and could only drive a man like Dean to an ultimate end that none of us want for him.
In the first few moments, you can see the pain seeded in Dean's eyes, his face, his actions. He seems haunted (by the way, it feels great to say my first "How does Jensen do that?" for Season 6 because he is awesome in this episode). He might as well be a zombie walking aimlessly without purpose. I LOVED the montage, the frame by frame comparisons of Dean's former hunting life and his new "normal" life. It harked back to when Sam left in Free to Be You and Me and was doing mundane things such as cleaning a bar counter or cutting lemons while alternating with Dean's life as a hunter, using the same image of Dean sawing the head off a vampire in both. Who knew that would become a marketable skill in construction in his new life? I also loved that "once a hunter, always a hunter" comes into play in these moments as well. Dean, the protector, maybe even more so now because those he is protecting are innocent bystanders as well as his new family, has never left him. The holy water and gun never far under the bed at the ready. All the trappings of normal life just don't fit him. He will live it, be devoted to Lisa and Ben because he knows no other way to be, but deep down where no one can see, he is tormented, as much tormented if he had been left in Hell himself or if Hell had taken over the Earth. Sam hasn't left him. And as long as Sam is in Hell, he never will leave Dean's consciousness. Sam was wrong in making Dean promise to live a normal life. Just as Dean was wrong in telling Sam to live on without him when he was facing Hell. Neither brother could just live on knowing what the other one was suffering. In both cases, the other brother was in Hell. It was asinine to ask either of them to just go on and forget that fact. Dean will never be truly happy until Sam is free along with him and to be honest, he may care for Lisa and Ben, love them in his own way, but he can never truly commit to them any more than his basic protection (which is pretty darn great in my humble opinion, but then again, I am prejudiced and an unrepentant DeanGirl -- so good to say that again). Much as he wants to love them like he should, he can't fully. In the end, the life they are leading is a sham and Lisa and Ben deserve more and so does Dean. Going through the motions isn't really living a happy life. I am glad that Lisa knows about his hunting because she has seen and experienced evil first hand in The Kids are Alright. I would have HATED it if he had a woman whom he had to keep in the dark about his life and who he had to keep secrets from. Though he does pretend he's not hunting, she calls him on it and I like that. I liked Lisa A LOT. She's the kind of woman I would wish for Dean. Patient, accepting, but not someone who would change the essential him. She's not imposing the normal life onto him, she's with him in his attempts to live it and supports him.
Now, some might complain and say, "damn it, Dean, let it go, live your life, you promised Sam, stop whining, stop feeling sorry for yourself, will you ever learn?" etc., but those who do, don't know Dean. You can put all the psychological labels you want on Dean, but Dean is first and foremost Sam's older brother and he can't really rest knowing Sam is in Hell. Could any of us if we knew such a thing about a loved one? In my eyes, Dean is acting the right way. It would be wrong if he could just live the normal life without a twinge of regret, without wondering about Sam, worrying about him. THAT would be the ultimate wrong and SO NOT Dean.
Sidenote: OH, how it made me sad to see the Impala with a tarp draped over it. Ostensibly retired, rusting away in his garage, however, it's nice to know that Dean didn't abandon it to a scrap yard, though I would have forgiven him if he had given it to Bobby, but then how would he get around? Certainly not in a minivan or an econo car. We've already seen how unnatural that would be. It's hard enough seeing him driving just a plain old truck, but at least that's a man's vehicle. It was somehow comforting that Dean didn't give up every vestige of his past life. It was the Impala, after all, in combination with Dean's assertion that he would never leave Sam, that helped Sam break through Lucifer's possession. We've always said that the Impala is like family, is a part of the Winchester family so Dean could never let that car disappear from his life. It would be like cutting out another family member.
It was great to see Fredric Lehne as Yellow eyes again, then to see Sam back, BUT (and this is a HUGE BUT) I was really thrown off (probably was meant to be so I give on that and it was certainly effective in that way) by Sam's attitude. It was downright cavalier, sarcastic and I REALLY hated that. Dean joked when he came back, but in the end, they hugged and it felt genuine, heartfelt. This time, Sam jokes about the fact that he was either expecting a hug or a splash of holy water, saying it in a way that felt a little mean. It seemed like Sam was mocking him more than just teasing him. Maybe making some kind of cruel jab by the tone of his voice that maybe Dean was slipping as a hunter? What did Sam expect? That Dean would have holy water at his hip so that as soon as he wakes up, he whips that out? I know I'm probably overreacting, but that moment really stung and made me mad! Sam's WHOLE 'tude made me mad. BUT I LOVED that Dean did hug him, but HATED that Sam didn't hug back, didn't even try, like he didn't feel anything. Oddly, though, there was something off about Sam's reaction in that moment beyond the lack of a hug back. I began to wonder if Sam HAS to act that way towards Dean for something more than just being cold, cruel even. Maybe the deeper story which I hope will enfold is that Sam is acting the way he is because he has to protect Dean or keep Dean at a distance for a very real and loving reason. I just can't accept that Sam wouldn't hug his own brother. He can't have changed THAT MUCH! (Denial girl here). I have to hope that there is some other explanation. The idea that Sam has become this distant and cold person for no other good reason than that he's changed his elemental and essential self is unacceptable to me. Like I said earlier, for all that Dean had gone through, for all that he's trying to do, trying to be happy in a normal life, he's still the essential Dean, that part of him hasn't changed. Going through Hell didn't change that about him so Sam even with Lucifer in the equation should still be the essential Sam. Pollyanna, I know, but I gotta believe that to make what happened to them palatable for me.
"I wanted my brother. ALIVE!"
Sam's later argument about wanting to give Dean a normal life, I have to admit that felt right to me. It didn't sound dismissive or flip. Sam has wanted that normal life for Dean as much as Dean has wanted it for Sam. It's what they have both wanted for each other, but they haven't been able to have it both whole and experiencing it together. It would have been one thing if one of them had died naturally, just a victim of a hunt gone bad. That would have been painful enough (evidenced by Dean losing Sam to Jake -- Dean's action then probably wasn't the wisest move and likely sparked some of the events that followed because he didn't follow his own advice about the dead staying dead--an observation that Yellow eyes made a point of taunting him with later), but the idea that they would be in a better place and now that they both believe there's a place in Heaven for them, it would have been easier to let go, to live on, but neither of them could do that knowing that the other was in Hell. So, Sam arguing to give Dean a normal life, I can accept and Sam would be right. If he had come back to Dean, Dean probably would have dropped everything to join Sam back in the hunt. It would be interesting to learn as the episodes air how that year of being normal has affected Dean and his approach to hunting other than being rusty. Hints to that are in the upcoming episode, Two and a Half Men where Sam sees how parental Dean has become. I gotta say though that Dean being parental is not a new concept from my viewpoint. Dean was already a parent, but I suppose that since the episode deals with babies, Sam hasn't seen Dean taking care of him as a baby obviously and certainly at 4, Dean didn't have much input when Sam was a baby, but the innate protectiveness of a parent, Dean's always had that. It's just manifesting in a way that's different and most obvious now.
Okay, the introduction to the Campbell clan, mixed feelings on that, will have to approach that with a "wait and see" attitude. I liked seeing Corin Nemec again. I LOVED him in I Know My First Name is Stephen and in The Stand. Many of you probably know him best in Stargate SG-1. he was great in that too. ALWAYS LOVE seeing Mitch Pileggi!! I LOVE how Jensen plays Dean's skepticism PERFECTLY! Not that it's surprising that he pulls it off, but oh, how I have missed that ability of his to be so nuanced and yet so expressive all at the same time. Then when he thought something had happened to Lisa and Ben. PURE GOLD!!! He hugs them in a way that you can feel right off the screen! DeanGirl moment: And wished that you were them.
"Of course, I didn't leave it alone, SUE ME!"
And just when he's settled into that normal life, maybe not completely accepting it yet, he gets drawn back into the hunting life again and now he has a woman and a child who he has let become touched by his violent past life. Something we ALL know Dean never would have wanted. Dean so much as said so at the end of the episode, blaming himself for believing he could have a normal life.
He's his mother's son in that way, a comparison Samuel makes later. He would never have wanted to raise a family into the hunting life, yet, he's now facing that very reality. Mary failed to keep it from him and Sam and now he won't be able to do the same thing with Lisa and Ben. The yellow eyed demon said it, you can't escape your past and Dean, in his heart, knew that deep down he wouldn't be allowed to pull off the happiness he had, that his past would come back to haunt him, but the fact that he had hoped he could, that he tried, even if half-heartedly makes what's happening to him all the more tragic for Dean. He just had never expected it to come back in the form of his mysteriously resurrected brother.
I think that Dean has a right to be angry about that. If they had told him straight away, I think that yes, Dean would have gone back to the hunt, but at least there wouldn't be any collateral damage in his eyes. Though I have to believe that Sam and Bobby meant well, they clearly didn't see it through, see what that decision would do to Dean and ultimately to Lisa and Ben. They had fooled themselves too, allowed themselves to believe that Dean would be the one to make it out, could live the life they both felt weren't options to them. I can see that. It still doesn't make the secret keeping right. Dean loves his brother and to keep that fact from him was just cruel in every sense and direction of the word. They couldn't have known him if they both thought Dean would let that loss go, a grief that he said himself that had nearly drove him in the same direction as his father. Lisa and Ben can take credit for keeping Dean from the cliff, but he was balancing it precariously.
Anyone who knows me, knows I LOVED the moment between Lisa and Dean. I LOVED that Lisa set Dean straight about his view that he ruined their lives, that he was a wreck half the time during the year. She gave him something BEAUTIFUL. She told him that he was great with Ben, that she wanted Ben to look up to him like a father and most importantly that the last year was the best year of her life. She was realistic, completely had her eyes open the entire time and didn't flinch, accepted Dean's post traumatic stress disorder, understood it, and in many ways that Dean can't see now, saw him through it, kept him alive, if barely. I'm glad that she's making him see that though it wasn't "greeting card" perfect, it was good in ways that most "normal" couples don't get. Also, Dean doesn't see that he didn't abuse Lisa or hurt Ben even in the pain that he was in. The only pain he inflicted was on himself. He cared for her and Ben and never once took his pain out on them. That's another look into Dean's character that I never doubted existed.
"You're always so amazing with Ben. You know what I wanted? More than anything was a guy that Ben could look up to like...like a dad. So you're saying it's all bad, Dean? Because it was the best year of my life."
I LOVED those words. It says so much. Yes, Dean is damaged, was grief-stricken, but through all of that, he man-upped to be the best partner and father figure he could be. He gave Ben the kind of attention and love that John couldn't give, at least not in the way a "normal" father would. John did his best and clearly he did a good job with Dean because for all of his inner demons and hang ups, Dean still puts compassion and caring first (worrying and caring about his neighbors even -- a quality that Sam points out too though more clinically than with a brotherly pride). I can imagine Dean consciously trying to be a better dad to Ben. It's an easy stretch to make. Also, in a way, both Dean and John raised kids borne from tragedy, from losing someone so dear that it nearly broke them. John was already a father and had to become a single father, but from what we know of his parenting and of Mary's, it's clear that Mary had the greatest influence when she was alive, but when she was gone, John delved into the best cache he had to raise his sons, his military training and also from revenge and grief, brought his sons into a world that had barely a tether to the real world let alone a normal one. Dean had the parental skills having raised Sam for much of his life and how he developed those skills growing up, it's not as clear, in some ways, it seemed innate in him (he only had his mom for 4 years and it's hard to imagine that Dean could have gleaned anything from that short time other than just feeling loved and cared for -- maybe that was enough), but you can see how Dean is applying those skills to Ben. Though driven by a similar grief at losing Sam, perhaps even feeling like he was "forced' into becoming a parent by his promise, Dean was resolved at not bringing Lisa and Ben into hunting. Yes, clearly he tried to find a way out for Sam and didn't completely disconnect from hunting (holy water and gun under the bed evidence of that as well), but from Lisa's words, Dean was also present and an active participant in their lives as partner and father figure. That says a lot!
"Tiny suggestion. You see, djinn is easier to draw out when you got bait. They want Sam and me. They know where I live. Now I haven't been hunting in awhile, but I'm gonna stick my neck out and guess that's a pretty good place for us to go. See, it's almost like I'm a professional."
I SO LOVE Dean in these situations. He's been insecure in a lot of ways, but as far as hunting goes, he's always on target and no matter what, in my eyes, he'll always be the best of them, retired or not. Even when he's tough on himself about being too rusty to be useful in his eyes, I'd still trust him with my life any old day (DeanGirl moment).
Sidenote: Forgot to mention that I find it hard to believe that both Sam and Samuel got resurrected for the same reasons. Right now, we don't have any idea what those reasons are, but I find it mighty coincidental that Samuel was once possessed by the yellow eyed demon. Now, Sam hasn't proffered any proof that he's made sure that Samuel is just as human as he is, but we're assuming that he has and that Samuel is human and not a demon, but the hairs at the back of my neck prickle at that unholy connection. I also have to say that it's pretty darn amazing that Dean, still, hasn't been possessed. Copied, yes, by a shapeshifter, but not possessed. I have to wonder what that means, if anything (maybe I just like thinking of Dean as special that way). Both Sam and Samuel have been possessed and ironically by demon family, Samuel by Azazel and Sam by Meg...hmmm...I know, I'm probably making connections where there aren't any, but love the speculation.
I love and also feel for Dean when they tear through his house and make fun of the "normal" possessions there, the In Style mag, the family photo and golf clubs (I wonder if those are Jensen's clubs - hahaha). It paints a great picture in my eyes. It reveals that Dean did try to do normal things. It's unfair of Sam to make fun of golf when he's the reason that Dean took it up in the process of acclimating into a regular life. I did love Samuel telling Dean that he reminds him of Mary. It proves my point. Dean is so much more Mary than Sam is for nurture as well as genetic reasons. Sam said it in Dark Side of the Moon, he never got the crusts cut off of his sandwiches. As seemingly meaningless that gesture was, it's everything when you're a little kid.
"You just went. You didn't hesitate because you care and that's who you are. Me? I wouldn't even think to try."
"No, Dean. I'm telling you. It's just better with you're around, that's all."
It reveals something about Sam that a lot of us suspected and at first blamed the demon blood for last season, but this moment and the fact that Sam refuses to take the Impala demonstrates how far apart our brothers have become. Maybe it would have been inevitable like we saw in What is and What Never Should be, that if separated like Sam going to college in the normal scenario, maybe they would have grown up differently and apart. Now, we see the reverse of that episode, Dean living the normal life and Sam living the hunting life and it feels like they no longer have much in common, philosophically, and maybe in a sad way for Dean, that he no longer knows the Sam in front of him now. Maybe this is truly about living separate lives. Still, I cling to the belief that somehow, they will connect again. They are family and as Sam just told Dean, his strength is that he cares and I know that Dean will find a way back to Sam. The ending was just too heartbreaking to bear as Dean watches Sam drive away with barely a cursory "keep in touch". The disappointment in Dean's eyes was so clear. Again, "How does Jensen do that?"
These aren't the Winchester brothers we know and love. Perhaps they never will be the way they were, but I have to hope they will forge an even stronger bond, if a different one as brothers again.
Though this episode was painful, I LOVED IT and thought it was a great start to the season. It was good to have the boys back and there was this nostalgic feel of Season 1 about it. I can't pinpoint what it is, but it felt familiar. Yet, also, there were many things about it that distinguishes it from the other seasons. Such as the THEN and NOW sequence. Gone is our beloved Carry on my Wayward Son, but appropriately, Bob Seger's Beautiful Loser fit the bill perfectly for what followed in the episode. There was a symbolism to the breaking glass opening to the title card. Not only has a symbolic glass been broken between our brothers, but this season will likely shatter all established conventions from seasons past and I welcome it. Heck, I'm downright giddy and excited about it.
Welcome back everyone and thanks for the read. Forgive any mistakes. I had to rush this off because the rest of the week is, well, Hell and the heatwave we're having isn't helping. See you for Two and a Half Men!
Happiness borne from obligation is never true happiness and more importantly, happiness marred by guilt will never last and could only drive a man like Dean to an ultimate end that none of us want for him.
So well said! I was dreading this episode too! I was sitting there waiting for it to start, cringing a little, lol! It's just…so strange to imagine Dean living that normal life. I loved how they interspersed it with images of him hunting, though.
…using the same image of Dean sawing the head off a vampire in both. Who knew that would become a marketable skill in construction in his new life?
In my eyes, Dean is acting the right way. It would be wrong if he could just live the normal life without a twinge of regret, without wondering about Sam, worrying about him. THAT would be the ultimate wrong and SO NOT Dean.
Once again, so well said! To ask Dean to be anything else is to ask Dean to be someone else completely.
OH, how it made me sad to see the Impala with a tarp draped over it. Ostensibly retired, rusting away in his garage, however, it's nice to know that Dean didn't abandon it to a scrap yard, though I would have forgiven him if he had given it to Bobby, but then how would he get around.
I was sad to see that too! But, I also realized something. Even if Sam and Dean Winchester are "dead" to the authorities, the impala is still a recognizable car. I wonder if part of why he decided to put it away was because he didn't want to risk drawing any attention to Lisa and Ben. Evil could recognize the car too.
Hints to that are in the upcoming episode, Two and a Half Men where Sam sees how parental Dean has become. I gotta say though that Dean being parental is not a new concept from my viewpoint.
Now, Sam hasn't proffered any proof that he's made sure that Samuel is just as human as he is, but we're assuming that he has and that Samuel is human and not a demon, but the hairs at the back of my neck prickle at that unholy connection.
Mine too! I wonder if Dean's "hallucination" was a possible clue. One thing I caught… the YED always called John their "daddy." Samuel used the same expression: "I'll show you tricks your daddy never even dreamed of." I could be imagining things, but that sounds very YED-like to me!
Just one thing to add, which is my continual point regarding the new!Sam: I urge people to truly contemplate what Sam's been through. Not to compare Sam's trip to hell with Dean's, because it's not a competition. They've both suffered more than mortal minds can grasp.
But what I like to point out, as I discuss in my review over on my LJ, is that Sam ... was Lucifer's meat suit. We only saw part of what Lucifer did with/to Sam. We know nothing at all of what happened when Sam dove into the Pit, to be locked into into a part of hell so awful and so remote that demons weren't even sure Lucifer existed! And he was stuck there in that box with the full fury of not one but two wrathful archangels. If humans can't bear an angel's voice ... how must it change one to be trapped naked and defenseless with the wrath of two such terrible beings?
....But I think it's what's left of him.
I think Sam's lost some precious piece of his humanity, and it's not that he means to be cold or unfeeling, it's that the components required to truly feel are burned out of him! I suspect what he passes as emotions are only the distant memories of what emotions should be.
Anywho, that's my theory. :) I expect we'll see more of cold!Sam before something gives, and we start to learn more about what happened to him and why he is like that. Sam is every bit as messed up as Dean was, following Hell. His brain is just processing it in a different way. Perhaps the only way it can.
Thank you again for the delicious, wonderful review! Mmm, yes, that desperate hug Dean gave Lisa and Ben was amazing.
Thanks for your kind words and I'm glad you enjoyed reading. I TOTALLY agree with your points about Sam and appreciate the angles that I missed about Sam's experience in Hell. Great analysis. And you are totally right. Sam's experience should not be compared to Dean's, nor Sam's endurance and suffering as well as they are 2 different men and so you're totally right that their experiences and how they survived Hell have to be different on that point alone. I missed that and again, appreciated the enlightened observation. Lucifer being inside of Sam versus just going to Hell as Sam as Dean did as himself certainly has to make a difference. Sam had 2 battles, one was to rid himself of Lucifer or worse, perhaps Lucifer remained long enough to inflict torture while Sam watched helplessly just as Dean was turned by Alistair to inflict torture on others, difference being, Dean chose to inflict it as himself. Perhaps Sam didn't have a choice. Perhaps Sam had o sit by and watch until he could regain hiimself. The horror of possession is the helplessness that the victim feels at just being a bystander. Sam's other battle is likely ongoing now that he's back on Earth. Perhaps he's also recovering from that realization? Oh, the lovely speculation is ENDLESS!
Thank YOU for your musings. You can muse on my blog anytime. Hee! I'm not someone who is SO blind to Dean's faults that I don't see the merits of Sam's actions. I love both Dean and Sam and try to be as objective as possible, but wholeheartedly admit to my biases so I welcome other perspectives. I try to be fair to Sam as much as I can. Ah, the lovely speculation is the best part of Supernatural. It makes you think, even if you are like way off, it's fun to speculate because you're always surprised.
Thanks again for commenting. Please keep doing it and keep me honest.

Full practice Thursday
Greenlaw was a full participant at Thursday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The linebacker entered the week dealing with the groin injury that has plagued him for months, but it appears as if he'll be ready to go for Sunday's wild-card contest against the Cowboys. Greenlaw appeared in three games during the 2021 regular season, making 21 tackles while intercepting a pass and deflecting another.

Published: Fri, Jan 7 at 2:48pm by Rotowire.com
Back at practice
Greenlaw (groin) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Greenlaw missed the 49ers' Week 17 win over the Texans while dealing with the groin injury, so opening Week 18 with any participation at practice is a good sign for his chances to play Sunday against the Rams.

Greenlaw (groin) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Titans, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: Greenlaw will miss a fourth consecutive game after he was a non-participant in practice Monday and Tuesday. Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles could see a slight uptick in playing time once again.
Published: Wed, Dec 22 at 12:17pm by Rotowire.com
Ruled out
Greenlaw (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Greenlaw has been sidelined for each of San Francisco's last two games, and he's had a tough time remaining healthy throughout the season. He's been active for only a pair of contests, racking up nine total tackles and one interception. Greenlaw was unable to log any practice activity throughout the week, so his potential timeline to return remains unclear.
Not practicing Wednesday
Greenlaw (groin) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Greenlaw has missed the past two games with a groin injury and was previously sidelined by abdominal issues. Per David Lombardi of The Athletic, the 24-year-old got in some work on the side with training staff Wednesday, which could indicate he's close to returning to practice.
Remains out
Greenlaw (groin) is out for Sunday against the Bengals, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Greenlaw has missed the majority of the season with abdomen and groin issues. Marcell Harris and Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles should both see solid workloads Sunday.
No activity Wednesday
Greenlaw (abdomen) did not practice Wednesday, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Greenlaw has only managed to suit up for two games this season due to a combination of groin and abdomen injuries. His chances of returning for a Week 14 matchup against Cincinnati don't appear particularly bright given his inactivity Wednesday, though he will still have two additional days to get back on the practice field.
Published: Wed, Dec 8 at 4:12pm by Rotowire.com
Officially inactive Week 13
Greenlaw (abdomen) will be inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Seahawks.
Analysis: Greenlaw was forced out of the team's Week 12 contest against the Vikings after aggravating his core, and the injury will cause him to be inactive in Week 13. With the linebacker unavailable, the 49ers are looking very thin at the position, as Fred Warner (hamstring) is doubtful to play and Marcell Harris (concussion) is questionable. Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles appears to be in line for a substantial increase in snaps on defense.
Published: Fri, Dec 3 at 4:02pm by Rotowire.com
Unlikely to play Week 13
Greenlaw (abdomen) is a long-shot to play Sunday against Seattle, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Greenlaw was activated off injured reserve last week following core muscle surgery, but he was forced to leave Sunday's win over the Vikings early after appearing to suffer a setback. Rapoport reports that he hasn't been ruled out yet, but he won't practice Wednesday and will be closely monitored throughout the week. With Fred Warner (hamstring) and Marcell Harris (concussion) also dealing with injuries, the 49ers' linebacker corps is beginning to look extremely thin heading into Week 13.
Published: Wed, Dec 1 at 11:54am by Rotowire.com
Day-to-day with new injury
Greenlaw (core) is listed as day-to-day according to coach Kyle Shanahan, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: Greenlaw left last Sunday's win over the Vikings early after suffering what appears to have been a core issue. The linebacker had just returned from a long hiatus due to a groin injury suffered in the season opener. The 49ers defense may be in desperate need of their Week 1 starter's services with fellow linebackers Fred Warner (hamstring) and Marcell Harris (concussion) potentially out this Sunday against the Seahawks.
Published: Mon, Nov 29 at 5:13pm by Rotowire.com
Won't make it back Sunday
Greenlaw (groin) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Vikings.
Analysis: It makes sense for the 49ers to be cautious with Greenlaw since it appears he's again injured his groin after already missing 10 weeks with either the same or a similar problem. He'll most likely head for further testing Monday.
Published: Sun, Nov 28 at 3:30pm by Rotowire.com
Leaves early Sunday
Greenlaw is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Vikings with a groin injury, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Greenlaw was just activated from injured reserve with a groin injury, so this is very likely an aggravation of the same issue, though there has been no official word on that yet. Marcell Harris should see an uptick in snaps as a result.
Officially activated
Greenlaw (groin) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Greenlaw was injured in the first game of the season and has been sidelined since after undergoing core muscle surgery. He returned to practice prior to the team's Week 11 game Jacksonville and is now set to return for a Week 12 matchup against Minnesota. Greenlaw should play a key role among the team's linebacker corps, as he recorded six tackles and returned an interception for a touchdown in his lone contest on the campaign.
Published: Sat, Nov 27 at 6:36pm by Rotowire.com
Could return Sunday
Greenlaw (groin) is expected to be activated from IR before Sunday, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Greenlaw was designated to return from IR on Nov. 17. He suffered the injury in the 49ers' first game of the season and required core muscle surgery to repair it. The return of the third-year linebacker would be a boost to the 49er defense, as they host the Vikings on Sunday.
Published: Wed, Nov 24 at 12:49pm by Rotowire.com
Inches closer to return from IR
Greenlaw (groin) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
Analysis: Greenlaw has been on injured reserve since suffering a groin injury in the 49ers' season opener. The third-year linebacker played in 29 games over his first two regular seasons with the team, amassing 178 total tackles over that span and even returning an interception for a touchdown back in Week 1. Greenlaw could provide an extra jolt once he returns alongside starting linebackers Fred Warner and Azeez Al-Shaair as the team looks to fight its way back into playoff contention.
Published: Wed, Nov 17 at 3:54pm by Rotowire.com
Nearing return to practice
Greenlaw (groin) could begin to practice with the team starting Wednesday, Keiana Martin of the 49ers' official site reports.
Analysis: San Francisco is optimistic about Greenlaw's chances of returning to practice later in the week, though he'll need to pass additional testing before gaining clearance, per Martin. The linebacker was placed on injured reserve Sept. 18 due to a groin injury.
Published: Mon, Nov 1 at 9:23pm by Rotowire.com
Placed on IR
The 49ers placed Greenlaw (groin) on injured reserve Saturday, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Greenlaw is expected to miss 6-to-8 weeks after undergoing core muscle surgery, so this move was only a matter of time. The third-year linebacker recorded six tackles (four solo), a pass breakup and a pick-six in the season opener versus the Lions. Azeez Al-Shaair, Marcell Harris (oblique) and Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles could all handle additional snaps with Greenlaw out of the fold.
Published: Sat, Sep 18 at 3:21pm by Rotowire.com
Facing 6-8 week absence
Greenlaw (groin) will undergo core muscle surgery Thursday or Friday and is expected to be sidelined 6-to-8 weeks, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Greenlaw recorded six tackles and had a pick-six before going down with the injury during Sunday's season opener, and he's now likely to miss the rest of the first half of the season, at minimum. The 24-year-old should move to injured reserve in the coming days, while Marcell Harris (oblique) should have an increased role in his absence.
Published: Thu, Sep 16 at 2:23pm by Rotowire.com
Isn't practicing Wednesday
Greenlaw (groin) isn't practicing Wednesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Greenlaw is coming off a solid Week 1 performance, but his status for Week 2 is in jeopardy due to a groin issue. If the 24-year-old linebacker can't suit up Sunday, expect Marcell Harris to see an increase in reps.
Published: Wed, Sep 15 at 10:14am by Rotowire.com
Considered day-to-day
Greenlaw left Sunday's game with a groin injury and is considered day-to-day, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Greenlaw registered six tackles and a pick-six before leaving Sunday's contest with an injury. The 24-year-old linebacker has been a key piece for San Francisco's defense the past two years. If he misses Week 2, expect Marcell Harris to see extended reps.
Published: Mon, Sep 13 at 1:15pm by Rotowire.com
Questionable to return Sunday
Greenlaw (groin) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Lions, according to Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com.
Analysis: It remains to be seen if the linebacker will return to the gridiron Sunday, and if he can't go, then Marcell Harris would be in line to gain a bigger role the rest of the way.
Published: Sun, Sep 12 at 11:57am by Rotowire.com
Full participant in practice
Greenlaw (hip) was a full participant in practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Greenlaw missed San Francisco's preseason finale as he was dealing with his hip injury. The linebacker is slated for a key role this season with Mychal Kendricks on injured reserve. The 24-year-old appears to be on track to play in the 49ers' season opener Sunday.
Published: Wed, Sep 8 at 5:59pm by Rotowire.com
Doesn't suit up Sunday
Greenlaw (hip) did not suit up for Sunday's preseason finale against the Raiders, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Greenlaw missed some practice this week while dealing with a hip injury, and the 49ers elected to keep him out of action for the preseason finale. With Mychal Kendricks on injured reserve, Greenlaw is set to see the majority of work as the 49ers' weakside linebacker. The 24-year-old has racked up 178 total tackles across 29 games during his first two seasons in the NFL.
Published: Sun, Aug 29 at 4:30pm by Rotowire.com
Dealing with blister
Greenlaw sat out Saturday's practice with a blister on his foot, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: It's a minor injury, so Greenlaw should be able to make a quick return to the field. The 24-year-old is expected to start at weakside linebacker for the 49ers in 2021 after totaling 86 tackles (61 solo) and a sack in 13 games last year.
Published: Sun, Aug 1 at 3:53pm by Rotowire.com
Should retain starting job
Greenlaw (calf) is expected to start at weakside linebacker in 2021, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Kwon Alexander went down early in the 2020 season with an ankle injury, so Greenlaw took over at weakside linebacker and started every game the rest of the way. The 2019 fifth-round pick finished with 73 tackles and a sack over the final 10 contests. He's not expected to have much pass-rushing upside, so his IDP utility will depend on his tackles.
Published: Tue, Mar 30 at 5:19pm by Rotowire.com
Takes over as starter
Greenlaw (calf) finished with 86 tackles (61 solo), a sack and a pass defended across 13 games with the 49ers in 2020.
Analysis: Following a solid rookie campaign, Greenlaw began the year as the 49ers' starting Sam linebacker and was only on the field in base formations, which limited him to 26 to 52 percent of defensive snaps through the first five weeks of the season. San Francisco's front office eventually decided to deal Kwon Alexander and his large contract to New Orleans, which opened the door for Greenlaw to start at the more prominent Will position. The 2019 fifth-round pick went on to average 7.3 tackles over…read more
Published: Tue, Feb 16 at 5:36am by Rotowire.com
Greenlaw (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against Seattle, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Greenlaw logged full practices Wednesday and Thursday before sitting out Friday, so his addition to the injury report and inability to suit up Sunday comes as a surprise. The linebacker has been a key part of San Francisco's defensive game plan, playing at least 93 percent of defensive snaps every week since the Seahawks and 49ers first met in Week 8.
Seven tackles in loss
Greenlaw recorded seven tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 23-15 loss to Washington.
Analysis: Greenlaw was tied for the team lead in tackles with seven, bringing his season total up to 74 through 11 games (eight starts). The second-year linebacker may fall short of the century mark in tackles, but he projects as a player who could surpass that total as a starter for a full season, a role he is likely to have in 2021. Greenlaw and fellow linebacker Fred Warner (shoulder/neck) should have several opportunities to rack up tackles against Ezekiel Elliott and the Cowboys on Sunday.
All clear for Week 12
Greenlaw (illness) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Rams.
Analysis: Greenlaw was unable to practice with the team Thursday or Friday, ultimately being tagged questionable coming into Week 12. The 23-year-old is seemingly feeling well enough to go for an important NFC West clash, strengthening San Francisco's linebacking corps for a matchup against the Rams' 18th-ranked scoring offense.
Published: Sun, Nov 29 at 11:46am by Rotowire.com
Unable to practice Thursday
Greenlaw (illness) was a non-participant during the 49ers' practice session Thursday.
Analysis: Greenlaw's symptoms apparently manifested over the past 24 hours, as he was able to participate during Wednesday's session with no restrictions. The starting linebacker has fielded 90-plus percent of the defensive workload in three consecutive outings, after reaching that threshold only once over five appearances Weeks 1 through 7. San Francisco is short-handed at backup linebacker currently, with Joe Walker on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Mark Nzeocha (quadriceps) residing on IR and Azeez…read more
Published: Thu, Nov 26 at 3:44pm by Rotowire.com
Breaks out with 11 stops
Greenlaw racked up 11 tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 27-13 loss to New Orleans.
Analysis: Greenlaw continued to start alongside the talented Fred Warner, but it was the former that finally led the defense in tackles. The second-year pro has thrived since taking over the starting weak-side linebacker job from the recently-traded Kwon Alexander, averaging 8.2 tackles per game with one total sack in the five games he has started this season. Warner is still the top dog of the linebacking unit, but Greenlaw proved he can provide solid tackle totals for IDP owners. A matchup against the…read more
Racks up seven stops
Greenlaw had seven tackles (four solo) during Thursday's 34-17 loss to the Packers.
Analysis: Greenlaw handled 97 percent of defensive snaps, which reiterates the fact that he's an every-down starter alongside Fred Warner. Though his tackle numbers haven't been quite on the level of Warner, who had a team-high 13 stops Thursday, Greenlaw is a valuable IDP asset in his current role.
Published: Fri, Nov 6 at 9:24am by Rotowire.com
Trade cements starting role
Greenlaw was on the field for 66 of 68 defensive snaps against the Seahawks on Sunday, finishing with eight tackles (seven solo) in a 37-27 loss.
Analysis: Greenlaw has been occupying the starting weak-side linebacker role for the past three weeks in place of the injured Kwon Alexander. The latter was traded to the Saints on Monday in order to clear cap space, which allows Greenlaw to start alongside Fred Warner for the remainder of the season. The 2019 fifth-round standout is excellent against the run, showing an ability to attack the ball effectively in his short time as a pro. With his role set in stone, Greenlaw should be an IDP-relevant…read more
Takes over important role
Greenlaw racked up eight tackles (all solo) in Sunday's 24-16 win over the Rams.
Analysis: Kwon Alexander (ankle) was unable to go, opening the door for Greenlaw to move to weak-side linebacker and stay on the field for 100 percent of the defensive snaps. The second-year linebacker possesses the physical skills to put up big tackle numbers alongside Fred Warner. Assuming Alexander's high-ankle sprain keeps him out for the usual multi-week period, then Greenlaw quickly becomes an intriguing IDP option in the interim.
Published: Mon, Oct 19 at 10:28am by Rotowire.com
Ready for Sunday's contest
Greenlaw (quadriceps) won't carry an injury tag into Sunday's game versus the Dolphins, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Greenlaw will return to the lineup after two games on the sidelines. He's expected to start at strong-side linebacker against the Dolphins. Before suffering the injury, Greenlaw posted six tackles and a pass breakup over 52 defensive snaps.
Published: Fri, Oct 9 at 3:10pm by Rotowire.com
Limited practice status
Greenlaw (quadriceps) practiced on a limited basis during Wednesday's session, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Greenlaw has missed the past two contests with the quadriceps issue, as it's unclear when he'll be able to return. Look for Thursday's practice to shine a better light on his chances to play in Week 5, but if he's forced to miss more time, Azeez Al-Shaair will continue to be the main beneficiary of Greenlaw's absence.
Published: Wed, Oct 7 at 3:58pm by Rotowire.com
Out for Sunday's game
Greenlaw (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: The 49ers defense has been decimated by injuries, and Greenlaw will miss a second straight game. Azeez Al-Shaair was the main beneficiary of Greenlaw's absence in Week 3 while Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles also rotated in.
Unlikely to play Week 4
Greenlaw (quadriceps) isn't expected to be available for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: The 2019 fifth-round pick sustained the injury during Week 2 and sat out Sunday's win over the Giants, and it appears he'll be sidelined for a second straight contest. Greenlaw's participation at practice later this week will provide a better idea of his progression heading into Week 4.
Greenlaw (quadriceps) has been ruled out of Sunday's game versus the Giants, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Greenlaw will sit out his first game since entering the league as a fifth-round pick in 2019. He hasn't logged more than 50 percent of the defensive snaps in either game this season, so Mark Nzeocha and Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles will likely rotate in Greenlaw's place Sunday.
Published: Fri, Sep 25 at 10:37am by Rotowire.com
Downgrades to DNP
Greenlaw (quadriceps) did not practice Thursday, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Greenlaw began the week as a limited participant, so Thursday's lack of practice activity represents a step in the wrong direction. His availability for Sunday's contest against the Giants could come down to what he's able to do in Friday's final practice of the week.
Limited to begin week
Greenlaw was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a quadriceps injury, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Greenlaw is dealing with an issue relating to quadriceps bruising, but there's not yet any reason to worry about his availability for Week 3. The second-year pro doesn't possess much IDP value in his rotational role, but the loss of Nick Bosa (knee) and Solomon Thomas (knee) could lead to the 49ers dialing up more pass rush opportunities for linebackers.
Published: Wed, Sep 23 at 1:22pm by Rotowire.com
Greenlaw (concussion) returned to practice Thursday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Greenlaw was donning a blue non-contact jersey, but his return to the field indicates that he has been cleared from the concussion protocol. Assuming there are no setbacks, the 23-year-old will start at the Sam linebacker position and see 30-50 percent of the team's defensive snaps. Greenlaw's IDP value will be suppressed in his current role, but he would gain value if he is asked to fill in for Fred Warner (reserve/COVID-19) to start the season.
Published: Thu, Sep 3 at 8:50pm by Rotowire.com
Dealing with injury
Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Greenlaw is in concussion protocol, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: It's unclear how Greenlaw suffered the head injury, but he'll have to gain clearance from an independent league doctor before returning to the field. It's too early to rule out Greenlaw for the 49ers' Week 1 tilt, but Mark Nzeocha would be in line for an expanded role at linebacker should Greenlaw sit out.
Published: Mon, Aug 31 at 5:22pm by Rotowire.com
Strong rookie campaign
Greenlaw had 92 tackles (64 solo), a sack and an interception in 16 games this season.
Analysis: Greenlaw won the starting Sam linebacker job out of camp, and he saw his role increased when Kwon Alexander went down for the regular season in Week 9. The fifth-round pick showed excellent athleticism and ability to close out on ball carriers quickly, putting that ability on display when he stopped Seattle's tight end, Jacob Hollister, on the goal line as time expired in Week 17 to win the NFC West for the 49ers. If both Fred Warner and Alexander are healthy to begin the 2020 season, then…read more

Leads team in tackles in win
Greenlaw made 13 tackles (four solo) in Saturday's 34-31 win over the Rams.
Analysis: It was a season-high tackle total for Greenlaw. He's up to 79 (53 solo) on the year.
Published: Sun, Dec 22 at 3:15pm by Rotowire.com
Records six tackles in loss
Greenlaw logged six tackles (four solo) in Sunday's loss to the Falcons.
Analysis: The tackle number marks Greenlaw's lowest since taking over for Kwon Alexander (pectoral) in Week 10. He's put up 47 (30 solo) in those six games but hasn't made many big plays, with no sacks, one interception and two pass breakups in that span.
Published: Tue, Dec 17 at 4:42pm by Rotowire.com
Adds eight tackles in win
Greenlaw registered eight tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 37-8 win over the Packers.
Analysis: Greenlaw has racked up eight or more tackles and played at least 94 percent of the 49ers' defensive snaps in three consecutive games. He should remain busy against MVP front-runner Lamar Jackson and the Ravens in Week 13.
Published: Tue, Nov 26 at 5:50pm by Rotowire.com
Career high in tackles
Greenlaw recorded 10 tackles during Monday's 36-26 victory over the Cardinals.
Analysis: That's a new career high in tackles for the fifth-round rookie out of Arkansas. Seeing heavy playing time over the past two weeks, has Greenlaw racked up 20 tackles and one interception. He should have plenty of opportunity to keep it up with former starting linebacker Kwon Alexander (pectoral) on injured reserve.
Records interception Monday
Greenlaw logged eight tackles (three solo) and recorded and interception in Monday night's loss to the Seahawks.
Analysis: For a moment, it looked like Greenlaw would play the hero as he picked off Russell Wilson with a fingertip catch at the 49er four-yard line as the Seahawks threatened to end the game in overtime. Although it didn't work out that way, the 22-year-old still came up big in his first start since taking over for Kwon Alexander (pectoral), who's out for the year, setting season-highs in tackles and snaps in addition to the clutch play.
Set for increased role
Greenlaw is likely to start at weakside linebacker going forward with Kwon Alexander (pectoral) done for the season, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Greenlaw made four solo tackles during Thursday's 28-25 win over the Cardinals, in addition to notching his first sack of the year. The rookie fifth-round pick has played a starting role in base defensive formations this season, and he stands to see a sharp uptick in snaps going forward. Heading into a favorable Week 10 matchup against Seattle's formidable rushing attack, Greenlaw is worth monitoring in IDP formats.

Erudite Eyes explores the network of the Antwerp cartographer Abraham Ortelius (1527-1598), a veritable trading zone of art and erudition. Populated by such luminaries as Pieter Bruegel, Joris Hoefnagel, Justus Lipsius and Benedictus Arias Montanus, among others, this vibrant antiquarian culture yielded new knowledge about local antiquities and distant civilizations, and offered a framework for articulating art and artistic practice. These fruitful exchanges, undertaken in a spirit of friendship and collaboration, are all the more astonishing when seen against the wars. Based on a close reading of early modern letters, alba amicorum, printed books, manuscripts and artworks, this book situates Netherlandish art and culture between Bruegel and Rubens in a European perspective.


The Convention for the Protection of the Mediterranean Sea Against Pollution (Barcelona Convention) was adopted on 16 February 1976 by the Conference of Plenipotentiaries of the Coastal States of the Mediterranean Region for the Protection of the Mediterranean Sea, held in Barcelona, in conjunction with two Protocols addressing the prevention of pollution by dumping from ships and aircraft and cooperation in combating pollution in cases of emergency.
These three legal instruments entered into force on the 12th of February 1978. The convention also made provisions for additional legal instruments to be adopted and was soon complemented by the Protocol on pollution from land based sources (1980), the Protocol concerning Specifically Protected Areas (1982), and the Offshore Protocol (1994).
In 1995, the Contracting Parties adopted substantive Amendments to the Barcelona Convention of 1976, renamed Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment and the Coastal Region of the Mediterranean, and which entered into force in 2004. .

Thanks for the input today! Just as a heads up, I can't see the comments people type when I'm a 'guest'.
Seems to be trouble for me as well.
I meant that despite having my Mike turned on for the podcast, I was not able to see any of the messages people were typing.
Oh. On my end, I can't see new posts unless I'm logged in.

"Both the software and the support are top class"
XMILE International about Siam: "Both the software and the support are top class" – Director Boudewijn Sanders is an entrepreneur pur sang. After his underwater engineering training, he started his own offshore company almost immediately. Inspection and repairs to seagoing vessels, as well as saturation diving at greater depths. Initially he went into hiding himself, but with the growth of his company, the emphasis shifted more and more to management and acquisition. After he sold this business in the early 1990s, he became involved in various land development projects and the construction of hotels, apartments and villas in enchanting Dalmatia, Croatia's southernmost province.
Around 2007 he became involved with the company XMILE. A company that started around 2005 with the original goal of making shipping more environmentally friendly. The product XMILE is now also used in fuel for cars, trucks, agricultural machines and for other purposes.
The product XMILE is an advanced fuel additive based on enzyme technology with the aim of increasing fuel efficiency and reliability. On the website, the company emphasizes that XMILE is not a chemical product and certainly not a biocide. Boudewijn Sanders: "We make fuels better at the molecular" level ". The refining process from crude to usable ingredients leaves – in Europe! – ultimately a fuel that burns 80% well, but 20% particularly bad. The latter part is, among other things, the cause of high concentrations of fine dust in the air, but also the faster wear of certain parts of engines and boilers. By adding one liter of XMILE to 10,000 liters of fuel, you significantly increase the combustion qualities of that fuel. Several scientifically verified test reports show that XMILE achieves up to 70% fine dust reduction and 5 to 8% fuel savings."
500,000 XMILE users daily
"The company XMILE produces in the Netherlands and is active in 32 countries through a global network of resellers. Worldwide there are about 1000 petrol stations where our products are added to the fuel as standard. Both petrol and diesel. We have traditionally been strong in shipping and even the largest ships appear to achieve 5 to 8% fuel savings. And please note: these are not just any stories, but are evident from the tests that shipping companies such as Stena Line and the Teso ferry service have done before they started working with us. We also work for transport companies, large agricultural companies, oil companies, fuel distributors and industrial production companies. In Germany, XMILE is frequently added to domestic heating oil. They still use that a lot there. We use HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) for home heating oils. We use this as a carrier of the enzymes in the product XMILE. In total, we have more than 500,000 users of our products every day."
Fuel stabilization
"Another interesting fact of the XMILE product is the improvement of the oxidation stability – say shelf life – of the fuel. Under normal circumstances it is 6 months. By adding our product, the fuel has a much longer shelf life. So XMILE also stabilizes the fuel."
Good support
"The active substance in XMILE is a biological product that is exempt from REACH registration. We created our safety data sheets without using any software. But when we were negotiating with the Spanish oil company Repsol last year, it became clear to us that the legal obligations in this area have become considerably more complex. They only wanted to work with us if we could provide good, original safety data sheets with our products. They indicated that they are very satisfied with Chemeter from Siam. According to them, this is very good, reliable and affordable software for making safety sheets. So then I made contact with their reseller in North West Europe (Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium – ed.) And I really like it so far. It is a pleasant contact and they contribute very well. At one point the installation of the software was delayed due to holidays in Spain, but I really needed a safety sheet immediately. Then Paul from Siam North West Europe created that safety data sheet for us with his own demonstration software. That helped us enormously. How the contact with Siam has continued and is progressing, it is better to ask our employee Miro Sanders. He has supervised the installation and is now making our safety data sheets."
Lots of patience and very precise
"Yes, I had direct contact with Paul and that went very smoothly," says Miro Sanders. "He told me exactly what was going to happen or what to do. And what he said was always right. When he said: "Tomorrow at 9:00 am someone from Spain will request access to your laptop", he did. It's also nice that when Paul says, "I'll call you tomorrow at 9:00 am," it isn't at one minute past nine or one minute to nine, but exactly at 9:00 am.
"I am currently studying Entrepreneurship & Retail Management at HAN in Nijmegen and have no chemical background. I also have no experience with this type of software. So at first I didn't know where to look. I had no point of reference. But Paul helped me tremendously with that too. By telling me what to do with a lot of patience and very precisely. Maybe I didn't get it the first time and not the second and third time either, but then I realized how nice and easy it is to work with this software. At the moment I only have questions very occasionally, but if I do, I will call Paul and it will be arranged again in no time. Both the software and the support are top-notch."

Get the digestive juices flowing, relieves occasional indigestion and prevents nausea associated with motion.
While ginger certainly has reputation for being spicy, this organic ginger tea is a bit milder than you might expect, with a nice pungency and a bit ginger's sweet undertones. Used in China for at least two thousand years as a digestive aid, as well as to relieve nausea, most cultures around the world have acquired fond feeling for ginger- both for its taste and for its soothing properties. We love this warming, spicy tea as a before or after meal treat, and for its ability to promote happy and healthy digestion.
Some of our favorite ginger comes from Fair Trade Certified small organic farms that are part of a Sri Lankan co-op formed in 2009. Not only does this ginger provide all of ginger's well-known benefits, it also benefits the farmers who grow and harvest it. Like all Fair Trade Certified farmers, they receive a premium on top of the price paid for their high quality ginger. This premium goes into a fun which is used to improve the community. So far, the co-op has used the funds to create a spice nursery, provide farm implements and created grant for kids to go to school.
We raise the bar. The quality standard of the herbs we use is hard to pronounce, difficult to meet, and it's what makes us different, better. We're no ashamed to say it. Pharmacopoeial: its' the only quality standard our herbalists can rely on when blending teas for your health and wellness.
Consult a healthcare practitioner prior to use if you have gallstones, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

When did you first meet Roger Moore?
I first met Roger when he was making "The Saint" and I was making "The Avengers" almost literally next door.
The website is all about Roger's career but it also mainly showcases his UNICEF works. As a friend of Roger has he told you about his efforts for the charity?
I haven't spoken to Roger in quite a while, but I know about his UNICEF work via various papers.
What are your feelings about "The Persuaders"? Having written the pilot episode "Overture" and followed that by two more episodes "The Old New and The Deadly" and "That's Me Over There". Did you feel that Roger and Tony gelled well on screen in their different characterizations?
I thought Roger and Tony Curtis brilliantly got the spirit of the series - and my pilot - and, as it progressed, honed their characters to perfection.
When you write an episode how do you approach the blank screen and form the whole plot?
It is hard to pin down the creative process - I usually "fix" the characters in my mind - put them into the most difficult situation and when I have 3 or 4 high spots (big sequences) I start to write. I have to know what page 60 is before I write page 1.
Were you ever present on set during the filming of "The Persuaders", if so what were your impressions of the atmosphere?
I visited the set several times - it was very professional - and, as a result, a happy atmosphere - everyone knowing just what was expected of them.
Did you meet Tony Curtis, if so how did you find him?
Yes, I met Tony Curtis several times. He was pleasant, amiable, but initially a little wary - Roger was an established TV star, whereas this was Tony's first attempt, and he didn't want to be upstaged. In the final analysis, he wasn't.
Even though "The Persuaders" was a big success in Europe it was not in America due largely to it being scheduled against Mission Impossible, do you feel it could have been extended into a second series by developing the characters?
Extending the characters would not have had effect on its USA reception - they either like it in the first couple of episodes or it fails - it did - although I can never understand just why, it seemed to have all the elements they wanted at that time: style, humour, fast action, two VERY bankable stars - maybe we got in on the tail end of the escapist series - just as the nitty gritty was about to take over. I'm not sure.
Recently Roger Moore told us on an interview he would love to bring back "The Persuaders" for one more outing ("Tony is a very talented actor and has a great sense of comedy and I would love to revive Wilde and Sinclair for just for one more appearance") Tony Curtis was very fond of the programme at the time, we will be interviewing him soon and will ask him the same question but as the writer behind the pilot for the show, do you think it would be possible to bring the pair back together on screen. Or maybe an updated film version like "The Avengers", but hopefully with a better production, maybe with your script writing?
Reviving the series is an old man's dream. They are both too old - altough they might well play cameo parts - second fiddle to two younger actors recreating those parts. It would make a good MOVIE. Who knows?
We realise this is a very hard question but what project has given you most satisfaction?
The project that has given me the most is probably "The Avengers". Any of my stage plays. And the next project I am working on!

Thai airports remove smoking areas
By SEATCA / February 27, 2019 February 27, 2019
The Nation:
The Southeast Asia Tobacco Control Alliance (SEATCA) strongly supports Thailand's move to ban smoking inside the passenger buildings in all its airports to protect non-smokers from exposure to secondhand smoke.
The Airports of Thailand PCL this month removed all smoking rooms inside Suvarnabhumi, Don Mueang, Phuket, Chiang Mai, Hat Yai and Mae Fah Luang in line with Thailand's Tobacco Products Control Act of 2017 and the Ministry of Public Health announcement in 2018 that required government agencies and state enterprises, including airports, to declare no smoking areas. Those caught smoking will be fined up to Bt5,000.
"We are very pleased with this news and we urge the government to monitor the compliance and strictly impose the penalty," said Dr Domilyn Villarreiz, SEATCA's smoke-free programme manager.
The WHO states that there is no safe level of exposure to tobacco smoke and only 100 per cent smoke-free environments can fully protect the public. Tobacco smoke contains more than 7,000 chemicals, including at least 70 known to cause cancer, and the rest causing other serious health problems.
Studies have shown that secondhand smoke can transfer from designated smoking areas into nonsmoking areas in airports.
"Tourism is an important economic driver of countries like Thailand. Successful tourism relies not only on available and efficient tourism infrastructure such as airports but also on a healthy and welcoming environment. This is a big move for Thailand considering it is frequented by close to 39 million international tourists annually. This is not only good for the environment but ultimately good for people's health and the economy," added Villarreiz.
Tax increases on e-cigs and heated tobacco products to prevent youth uptake
Cancers 'rising around the world'
Smoking harms not just your physical health, but your mental health too

Disappearing sea snakes surprise researchers with hidden genetic diversity
New research suggests an urgent need to find out why sea snakes are disappearing from known habitats, after it was discovered some seemingly identical sea snake populations are actually genetically distinct from each other and can't simply repopulate if one group dies out.
Lead author, Dr Vimoksalehi Lukoschek from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies at James Cook University collected genetic samples from more than 550 sea snakes around Australia.
She said scientists were previously unaware of how genetically different sea snake populations on the Western Australian coast were from populations on reefs in the Timor Sea, Gulf of Carpentaria and the Great Barrier Reef.
"The previously unappreciated genetic distinctiveness in coastal Western Australia is critically important. It means that this region is home to genetic diversity not found elsewhere in Australia. If those populations die out, then that biodiversity and potential for adaptation is lost forever," said Dr Lukoschek.
"Also, genetic differences of sea snakes between reefs around Australia mean that if a species disappears from a particular reef, they are unlikely to be replenished by dispersal of juveniles or adults from adjacent reefs."
Dr Lukoschek said the sudden disappearance of sea snakes on the highly-protected Ashmore Reef in the Timor Sea remained unexplained, as were sea snake declines on protected reefs in New Caledonia and the southern Great Barrier Reef.
"We observed none of the obvious threats, such as changes in the habitat or fishing, so we are left with a list of other possible causes including disease, invasive species, pollution, seismic surveys or recruitment failure."
Dr Lukoschek said targeted research on habitat and diet requirements, reproductive biology, disease susceptibility and the impacts of man-made processes, is crucial.
"It's important we investigate sea snakes in particular, as traditional conservation actions that focus on tackling common causes of species decline, such as habitat loss, may not optimise the conservation of genetic divergence and diversity in these vulnerable populations," she said.
Dr Lukoschek said conservation planners should incorporate genetic information, including identifying and prioritising evolutionary significant lineages, into their work.
"In the meantime, the findings suggest it is imperative to reduce stressors to coastal WA habitats including minimising the impacts of trawling and reducing the numerous anthropogenic impacts on the environment," Dr Lukoschek concluded.
The paper "Congruent phylogeographic patterns in a young radiation of live-bearing marine snakes: Pleistocene vicariance and the conservation implications of cryptic genetic diversity" is published today in the journal Diversity and Distributions.

'Scandal! The Mall Season' Recap: Who survived the mall bomb?
The Commodore is almost ready to get pregnant with The One who will save the mall. Orange Juilius just wants to be saved from the CHUD.
Dad's Garage Theatre is presenting the improv soap opera "Scandal" every Saturday night through Aug. 20. "Scandal" is set at a fictitious shopping mall in the Old Fourth Ward that's on its last legs and its wacky denizens. As media sponsor for the event, INtown is posting a recap of the Saturday episodes.
The fourth episode got off to a bang, or rather, a lack of one. Jelilah cornered The Commodore in his arcade to let him know that the frozen eggs she had recently re-implanted in her ovaries were going bad. "The doctor said they'd be good for five days, and it's already been eight days!" However, The Commodore insisted that there was still a ton of preparation he had to complete before The Chosen One could be born. Jelilah ended by insinuating she could easily get inseminated somewhere else.
It was a great day for Rosemary Splat! She was whistling a happy tune because she was excited for her upcoming date with Oral Hanks. But then 95-year-old Violet Chumsly had to break the bad news to her that last week Oral had slept with both Violet and Cynthia Monets. Rosemary was crushed.
In the mall office, Madeline Silverton called a meeting to order to officially announce the contents of Chugga's will – that she was now the owner and manager of Old Fourth Ward Mall. Her first order of business – planting explosives to demolish The Forbidden Zone! The Commodore argued that this would free all the CHUDs to devastate humanity.
Chick-fil-A kid Percy Goody once again encountered Cynthia Monets in the Food Court. She dropped her shopping bag and bent over right in front of him, causing his nuggets to break out in a cold sweat.
Madeline Silverton was browsing through the bachelorette section at Spencer's Gifts when she encountered mall bad boy, Lark Darkcastle. He was very quickly inside her sphere of personal space. Madeline admitted she was attracted to powerful men, and since Lark works in the blacklight poster section of the store, he quickly moved in for the kill. They kissed passionately, with Madeline commenting on how "sharp and waxed" Lark's mustache was.
Jelilah went to Orange Julius' smoothie cart to get some sort of drink that might preserve her eggs for a bit longer. They really hit it off and soon Jelilah invited OJ to permanently run his cart out of the back of her store… wink wink nudge nudge.
A big impromptu meeting featuring everyone except Madeline Silverton was held in the Southern Belle Depot. Many ideas were discussed about how to keep her from taking over the mall and blowing up the Forbidden Zone. The first four or five suggestions were all for murder. Lark Darkcastle showed up late to the meeting, but made up for it by making out with everyone intensely, one by one.
Violet stopped by The Commodore's Arcade to find out how she could go to the future and stop the robot menace. The Commodore was more concerned with the CHUD menace, and told Violet time travel only works going to the past. Violet didn't listen, as usual, and went to try out her plan.
Madeline Silverton instructed Orange Julius to plant the explosives in The Forbidden Zone and then gave him a tab of acid to ensure that he carried out her orders.
Percy sought out Lark to learn his foolproof ways of seduction. The secret – removing your shirt and throwing it into the audience!
Orange Julius was back in the Southern Belle Depot with Jelilah, but since he was on LSD he was acting super weird and annoying her. The Commodore showed up just then, and Jelilah gratefully took him back while OJ headed to The Forbidden Zone.
Madeline realized Orange Julius was ruining her plans for blowing up The Forbidden Zone, so she raced to stop him. He tried to change her mind with an amazing new smoothie, the Peach Julius, but his secret ingredient (which may or may not have been urine) sent her into a rage and she detonated the bomb. The mall was rocked and who lived and who died is yet to be seen.

Privatized B.C. highways need better oversight
'Ministry of Transportation needs to take back control of costs and operational outcomes to determine value for money.'
Vancouver (1 May 2009) - The B.C. government should take direct control of highway maintenance services "in one or two strategic areas" to determine whether privatized highway services are offering good value to taxpayers, says a report commissioned by the British Columbia Government and Service Employees' Union (BCGEU/NUPGE).
BCGEU commissioned the firm of Blair Mackay Mynett Valuations Inc. last fall to prepare a report on the issue. In a letter to BCGEU president Darryl Walker, respected forensic accountant Ron Parks presents the results of the evaluation undertaken by the company.
He reports that it is virtually impossible to determine the efficiency of privatized highway services because the government has not been collecting the information that would allow meaningful comparison of public and private service delivery.
"Unfortunately, after more than 20 years of privatized highway maintenance, the information is not available on a current enough basis to conduct a meaningful value for money assessment," Parks writes.
"Re-establishing the ministry [of transportation's] knowledge about input costs and operational outcomes would enable effective value for money assessments and administration of services delivered by the private sector."
Parks says his recommendation to take a highways maintenance contract back under direct government control could be put into effect as early as 2013, when all highways contracts next come up for renewal.
He also recommends that long-term contracts include "windows" in which the ministry can conduct financial value analyses and return work to public hands if necessary.
Walker, whose union represents 2,000 highways maintenance workers employed by private contractors across B.C., says taxpayers deserve to know whether highway maintenance privatization has saved money or cost taxpayers more.
