Prosecutors have rested their case in a capital
murder trial of a 26-year-old man accused of beating eight people to death in
Glynn County.
Guy Heinze Jr. is accused in the slaying of his
father, aunt, uncle, cousins, and a family friend during a drug-induced rage in
The lead investigator testified over the weekend
about what he thought was a possible motive in the brutal killings, but a clear
motive has yet to be identified.
The defense questioned the integrity of the Glynn
County Police Dept. when they brought up a steak knife that was taken into
evidence, but the knife did not have Heinze Jr.'s DNA or blood on it.
Heinze has pleaded not guilty to all charges, and he
could face the death penalty if convicted.
One of the prosecution's witnesses took the stand Monday and testified about a conversation he had with Heinze Jr. about his father and one of the
Heinze Jr.'s defense attorney claims the witness Ronald
Parker made this story up to get attention.
The Brunswick News reports a neighbor testified the
victims had a dog that often barked, but that she didn't hear it the morning of
the killings.

Let's face it. Tomorrow never comes for the Clippers. When it does, it's not as good as expected. Many good free agents will leave their teams in 2010 to go to other teams and those teams may not be able to replace them. This trade gives those teams a chance to get great, long-term value.
The Clips? They have a chance of making a deep run into the playoffs THIS YEAR if they can get another great player on their roster now. Baron, Camy and Butler aren't getting younger. Kaman and probably Gordon and Thornton won't get much better. Why wait for a possible Greg Oden 2.0 when the Clippers are rolling?
Trade Blake and the next Wolves' pick and let take care of busines now!

Nick Maxwell One Tank Tip: "Piro" Flips
Nick Maxwell is a member of Team Thunder Tiger America, and widely regarded as one of the world's best R/C helicopter pilots. In his second One Tank Tip segment, Nick talks you through the mechanics of performing piro flips while flying them with his Raptor 90 G4. Screen-in-screen video in the bottom right corner shows you the stick movements for each step, while the main screen simultaneously shows the maneuver they create. He starts with the basics, the four basic heli orientations. He uses a simple "half flip out" and 90° rotation technique, which produces all four orientations in rapid order and brings the heli back to its original starting point. Nick builds on the basics from there, showing how to achieve smooth, continuous piro flips, how to fly reverse piro flips and how to combine sudden pitch changes with a piro flip to produce a pirouetting pogo.

Maybe this is me being sentimental, but I feel something has just been added to the NFC West. A new battle, a new fight, a different kind of champion will be crowned this year. Who is superior? Who will be the one left standing, who will only be second to one man? Who can be the best of the rest? Moss vs Owens: The Final Chapter
Randy Moss is sitting at 954 receptions, 14,858 receiving yards, and 153 touchdowns. Terrell Owens is sitting at 1,078 receptions, 15,934 receiving yards, and 153 touchdowns. Tied for second all time in receiving touchdowns at 153, now sitting in the same division after a year off from football. Both on one year contracts, trying to prove they are more than just divas. Both known as selfish players, and both having dawned a 49ers uniform. And this season they will fight to see who will be the best of the rest.
No one will ever be Rice, but who is number 2? Owens might not have anything left, but I know better. He will make that Seahawks team. Moss has looked well so far in camp. I honestly felt bad, because I thought Moss was gonna pass Owens with out him having a chance to defend himself. Ahh but now it seems it will be a battle for the ages. And yeah I know they are on the wrong side of 35. And yes, these guys should be hanging it up. BUT, where is the fun in that?
There is nothing more I would love, than to see these two go catch for catch. touchdown for touchdown all season. Looking across the field at each other twice this year. I am sure this will become a story that NFL Network will talk about for their Thursday night game if Owens makes the team and is productive. I see them both as first ballot HOF players. I know some of you might be bitter at T.O. still. Yet I am sure there are some who have remained fans of the sometimes enigmatic superstar. In the end tho I predict Moss will leave this season as second all time in receiving touchdowns. But in all I feel T.O. was a better WR. But what do you think?

SISSONVILLE, W.Va. -- Contractors worked through the night scraping away burned asphalt and repaving an 800-foot swath of Interstate 77 charred by a massive natural gas line explosion and fire that also flattened four homes and damaged five more but caused no deaths.
The Tuesday afternoon blast between Sissonville and Pocatalico, about 15 miles outside the capital city of Charleston, melted guardrails, cooked the green enamel off highway signs and burned utility poles, while leaving a huge hole in the highway.
The northbound lanes reopened early Wednesday and traffic began flowing on the southbound lanes a few hours later.
Though several people were treated for smoke inhalation, no serious injuries were reported either on or off the major commuter route.
But hours afterward, respiratory therapist Sancha Adkins was still shaky. She was heading north toward a patient's home in Ripley, a tractor-trailer behind her, when a flash alongside the highway caught her eye.
``And then I just see this whole huge ball of fire, and Im slamming on the brakes and pulling off to the side of the road, and then the flames come across the road in front of me,'' she said, still breathless and nearly hysterical hours later. ``I saw parts of something - I don't know what it was, a house maybe? - exploding.''

The old Latin School building, 1898 - 1980:
A bit of history!
The top photograph (left) of the old Latin School Building, though labeled 1886, must necessarily have been made later, since the building did not exist before 1898, when it was erected beside the English High School building (dating from 1892). 1886 dates the founding of the Latin School, which was from 1892-1898 conducted in the former High School building on Fayette Street. The view in the upper photo is from the corner of Trowbridge Street and Broadway. The English High School building is shown immediately to the right of the Latin School. Students who attended public secondary school in Cambridge (and who were not Rindge students) after 1910 found the two buildings joined into a new school known as the Cambridge High and Latin School (CHLS).
The lower photo at left shows the old Latin School building as it stood in the nineteen sixties and prior to the merger of CHLS with Rindge Technical School in 1977 to form the Cambridge Rindge and Latin School (CRLS). The CHLS buildings were gradually retired from use and finally demolished in 1980. Only the entryway arch remains, offering admission to a pleasant open park.
At top is a nicely-colorized picture of the Cambridge Latin School beside the Cambridge English High School before 1910 when the two were joined into CHLS. At bottom is the former Latin School Building as it stood until 1980. Here is an 1892 architectural design for the Cambridge English High School. The Cambridge Latin School was constructed in similar architectural style.
The Cambridge Rindge and Latin School continues in operation to this day. It is the bearer of a long and proud tradition of public education in Cambridge.

Carrie Ann Inaba's Dancing With the Stars, All-Stars Blog: The Finals!
November 27, 2012 at 12:55 pm , by Ladies' Lounge
Oh, what a night! The ladies came out in full force last night. It was the first all-female celebrities final we've ever had, and I couldn't be more pleased with how the night went. It wasn't a 10-fest, but it was a great night of dancing. When I got home my twitter was exploding with comments—it is without a doubt the most intense night on twitter every year. The fans are so passionate about who they want to win, it gets heated! Everyone gives their commentary on who should win and why we should have scored differently and why the judges are so biased. The insults get hurled and I try to correct the ones whose facts are off but I love the passion and interaction with the fans. We wouldn't have a show without them, so it's only right to take some time to interact with them.
I do block cruel and inappropriate comments about anyone. I don't think public spaces or the internet is a place for harsh name calling… there really is no place where I think that's okay. But there are young kids reading and I think that's what the block button is for. So for those who get a little "over –heated"—you've been blocked. What I do love is spirited conversation. I answer questions, give feedback and sometimes I explain rules and reasons. I like the questions and I don't mind taking the time to answer. I know our fans are truly dedicated and rooting for their favorites and I support that. We can't all have the same opinion—that would be boring! I know that the audience doesn't always agree with us judges, but that's just part of the process. It's still wonderful to see the fans come out and support, and I say support with a capital S! They give SUPERSIZE SUPPORT (to continue the theme of the night).
And speaking of supzersize…how incredible were those freestyles? Wow! Usually one of the contestants in the finals loses it with their freestyle and makes a creative choice that no one else understands. I have to point out here that Marie Osmond (as much as I love her) goes down in DWTS history for the "most creative" (to use kind wording) freestyle. Do you all remember the wind-up doll? It was a regrettable choice and yet I must say, it was great TV. Thank you Marie!
Since this is my last blog of the season, I want to say that I hope the best woman wins. I can see all three of them taking it home for very different reasons. Kelly and Val could win because of their incredibly unique and passionate journey. I still don't know if that's a real relationship or not, but it doesn't matter. What does matter is that it brought out her best and she has continued to grow as a performer right up until now. Every time she gets on the dance floor she grows a little more, and she's blossomed into a winner under the tutelage of the incredible Latin master, Val. Melissa and Tony could also take it home because she's proven herself to be a gorgeous and lyrical dancer who's developed depth in her performances. Her incredible lines and graceful fluidity have enabled Tony to give her his best choreography yet, which she performs with flair and ease. They work so well together and have such a fresh, easy-going approach. Everything they do has a sense of fun…and winners have fun! And finally, Shawn and Derek have set the bar and the standard for this season in general. They pushed every boundary and took huge risks. Sometimes the risks paid off and sometimes they didn't, but I admire and respect their courage to push and push. Derek has given us exceptional choreography again this season and as far as partnership goes, they're are a match made in heaven as well. They have the best synchronicity of all of our couples and have never missed a step or gone out of step with each other. Creatively, they caused a lot of arguments between the judges, but after it's all said and done they've earned our respect.
I think all three couples are winners—they each have a separate style and appeal. If you'd asked me during week three who the final three would be, I never would have guessed these three. But here they are and they all deserve it. I wish them all a wonderful finale tonight and I can't wait to see what incredible performances are in store. Buckle up… we don't want any of you falling out of your seats!
Thanks for tuning in. See you in March for Season 16!

Thank you for your comments, Carrie Ann. I think it was a fair and balanced report. Love that you called us fans out on some of the nonsense. LOL! Only thing left to say is: #WeBelieveInTeamVally

I agree with your analysis of the three finalists! They are all so awesome for different reasons. Whomever wins will be deserving! Its going to be a nail-biting gut wrenching evening! I can't wait to see what happens! Thank you for your positive spin on your final comments. I really agree with all of them! Happy finale!!

Swindon ready for Villa testby Tim Walsh
Swindon Town have one of their toughest tests of the season so far tonight, as Aston Villa visit the County Ground.
Paolo Di Canio's men take on the Premier League giants in the fourth round of the Capital One Cup. They go into the game off the back of an excellent 4-0 win at Stevenage on Saturday.
Villa have been struggling in the league and are just outside the relegation zone after only picking up one win all season.
Paul Lambert's side made it through to the fourth round after a shock 4-2 extra-time win at Premier League champions Manchester City.
Swindon have already beaten top flight opposition in the Capital One Cup. They won 4-3 at Stoke City in the second round.
Our cameras have been to the County Ground to hear manager Paolo Di Canio's pre-match thoughts:
– Paolo Di Canio, Swindon Town manager
I told them we can win because we have one chance.
There is one chance, so if we use this chance we can win.
Everytime you can win - against any side.
Swindon's captain Alan McCormack is expecting an exciting, open game:
– Alan McCormack, Swindon Town captain
The boys are looking forward to it. It's going to be a good game, an exciting game.
I think it will be an open game, because we're quite a counter attacking side this year, and I think we've shown on Saturday that when we do go at teams and play very well we can open any team up.
Town striker James Collins scored a hat-trick against Stoke in the second round. He's a former Aston Villa youth player, and is looking forward to facing his old team:
– James Collins, Swindon Town striker
Obviously we're at home as well which is a great advantage to us, and I think whatever team comes here if we play well we've got a chance.
Our sports correspondent Matthias Kurth will be live at the County Ground on The West Country Tonight at 6pm on ITV1.
The match kicks off at 7.45pm and you can follow the game with live text updates by clicking on the link below:

Clooney, Edwards, Wyle, Margulies, Stringfield And LaSalle All Scrubbing In For Tonight's Last New ER Ever??
I am – Hercules!!
"ER" concludes its 15-year run tonight, and NBC is devoting all three Thursday primetime hours to the landmark medical drama. The network says of the final, two-hour episode, titled "And in the end …":
Gates (John Stamos) works on a young teen brought in with alcohol poisoning after playing a deadly drinking game with friends. Dr. Carter (guest star Noah Wyle) opens a new medical facility for the underprivileged in Chicago and some old friends from County General all come to show their support. It's Sam's (Linda Cardellini) birthday and Alex (Dominic Janes) and Gates surprise her with a special gift. Meanwhile, Carter works with an intern to save a mother in labor with twins.
Though the press release makes no mention, the promos suggest the "old friends" will likely include all the season-one regulars, including Juliana Margulies & George Clooney (who now work as a team), Sherry Stringfield, Eriq LaSalle and even Anthony Edwards (whose character died six seasons ago), as well as Laura Innes, Maura Tierney, Alex Kingston, Parminder Nagra (whose character quit County two episodes ago) and Thandie Newton (who plays John Carter's wife).
I'm guessing some component of Carter's new medical facility will be named for Mark Greene. Perhaps we'll see Greene's glowing ghost watching beside Lucy Knight and Rocket Romano, Jedi-style, as the ribbon is cut.
The episode also comes with its own Gilmore Girl, Alexis Bleidel, who will play a new intern in the two-hour finale. Perhaps she'll puke as Carter did, and Carter will console her in the ambulance bay as Greene consoled Carter in the pilot.
I thought last month's Clooney/Margulies installment, a sequel of sorts to the long-ago best "ER" episode ever ("All in the Family," which depicted the death of intern Lucy Knight), was the best "ER" episode since Lucy's demise.

The stupid thing is...
by Qwonk
Even when I used to watch the show, I only kind of liked it. I'd already left it before, came back for the Lucy stabbing - man, that final scene was just amazing - stayed for the rest of that season or so, and then left again, never to look back.
 Yet, here I am, feeling all nostalgic and sad and sentimental. Anyway, just thought it was funny Herc mentioned the Carter and Lucy stabbing episodes, because when I started feeling all nostalgic for ER, that's what I went back to.

by oisin5199
The Clooney episode was only so-so. There have been some amazing episodes in the, what, 9 freakin' years since Lucy's death. Some even this season. Why do you keep saying that when you admitted you stopped watching the show? Frankly, though, just seeing that damn promo at the end of last week's ep had me reachin' for the tissue box. And I'm not a huge fan of the show or anything - it's just been part of my life for so long - longer than my own family.

An addendum..
by Bones
The first episode I ever saw was the last episode of the first season--What was supposed to be Nurse Hathaway's wedding--and even though I didn't know who all the characters were or what their backstories were, I got caught up in it and decided to watch all the re-runs that summer.
 Well, from the second season until Clooney's departure in the fifth, I didn't miss an episode. It was with the murder of Kelly Martin's Lucy Knight in the sixth season (a stunt episode that I still hate to this day as being a mean-spirited ratings whore of an episode) that I decided to quit the show. I stayed around for the rest of the season and watched Hathaway go to Seattle and find Clooney, which for me and many was the end of the series.
 My wife, a devoted viewer, never missed any episode--so even when I was not watching (Angel usually was on at the same time in our market), I would catch an episode here or there or my wife would give me a run-down and catch me up.
 But a strange thing happened.
 After the horrible transition years of the sixth and seventh seasons, where they basically threw a million different characters at the wall and tried to see who stuck, the show started to get good again. And I started watching again as well.
 The last five seasons, beginning when Neela Rosgotra (the beautiful Parminder Nagra) walked into the Cook County doors have been excellent and for the most part a return to form. It is like having both the original Star Trek and then Next Generation happen in the same show.
 This last season in particular has been a great, bittersweet ride. All the main characters have had their storylines wrapped up (except for the unceremonious death of Pratt at the beginning)very well and with attention to what their lives are like after leaving County. A recent episode that featured the return of Clooney, Margulies, Wyle and La Salle in addition to the regulars and Susan Sarandon was fantastic--and along with cameos throughout the season has really made this season a bookend for everyone.
 Sure, the middle seasons were a little dicey.
 But the first five and last five seasons have been great--and even the middle five had their moments.
 Thanks for the entertainment ER. And thanks for going out with grace.

I hope she is in tonights finale.
April 2, 2009, 1:22 a.m. CST
by mallah
I could have sworn that Eriq LaSalle was on that episode too! You know he was the 'black' guy. I am sure he had a important role in that show. I think he showed what he really was 'a teacher' when the surgical team put in Carter's kidney. Of course, I could be mistaken, seeing as how ER had an 'all white' cast. Maybe the ganja I was smoking was really, really, really good, so I hallucinated for fifteen years. Oh well,

They've already said publically how Mark Green figures into the finale. SPOILER WARNING The final episode supposedly finds Mark's daughter joning the medical program at County much like Carter did in the first episode. Mark's widow shows up as well to usher her into her first day on the job. Gonna have the wife and daughter on, of course you're going to have flashbacks. Or... a Mark Green CLONE!!!

Hey Bones
by TheMcflyFarm
Parminder Nagra has been the absolute worst thing to happen to ER ever so don't give me that shit. All of her storylines wre designed for the 13 year old girl crowd, ass!
April 2, 2009, 2:29 a.m. CST
Hey McFly Farm!
by Bones
I said that Parminder was beautiful. She is. Her character and Maura Tierney's Abby were the heart and soul of the show for the last five seasons. All the storylines all fed back in through them or in relation to Sam. I didn't write the series, but I do think it is interesting that the three main female characters were the anchors that the other stories weaved through.
 Sorry you didn't like it, but there is no reason to call me an ass! I suppose I could counter with a hearty "Your Mom"...but let's not, alright? I'm not 12 anymore.

by Bob Loblaw Law Blog
and I've never missed an episode. I was in high school when it began, and now I'm pushing 30. But, a great ride it's been.
No matter what's been going on in my life -- hell, ALL of my adult life -- ER has always been a part of it. I'm really going to miss it.

There may have been some good ones after Greene
by The McPoyle Clan
but I can't say, since I didn't watch. It's not usual for people to drop a long-running show once the cast changes. I liked the original and didn't care for any of the replacements like Kovac, Abby and subsequent.

In honor of the old girl's last episode ...
by Itchy
I think I will rub one out to some Kellie Martin and Linda Cardellini pics today. And frankly, I think the best ER episode ever was this season's one with Mark Greene "returning". I thought it would be hokey, contrived and terrible. It was none of that. It was absolutely brilliant and moving. It deserves many emmys.

Carter opens a hospital?
by Bouncy X
i figured his transplant would go wrong and that would bring the old gang together....and the series would end with his death. i guess it could still happen but i watched that Clooney episode a few weeks ago (first time i watched the show since season 8ish) and i just had a feeling he was gonna die anyway. but if i'm wrong well its ok...i'll survive.

Havent watched in years, dont know who
by I am_NOTREAL
Anyone is anymore, but I just tonight's finale to record. I don't really know why, I guess out of respect for the fact that for me, like millions, this show was appointment TV for many years. There was a time when I absolutely would not miss it. That time has come and gone, but it was a terrifically entertaining ride and one of the best major network series ever.

I will miss the old show
by fanboy71
My wife and I used to watch this religiously when it started. Up until she and Mark Green died. "Orion in the Sky" aired April 2nd, 2002, and was the episode where Mark Greene said goodbye to the hospital and went away to live out his last days. My wife died April 15th, 2002, also of cancer. She was only 27 years old. ""The Letter" aired on may 2nd, 2002, and I cried like a baby. I never watched again until the one a couple of weeks ago with Clooney. This show was a big part of our life together, and I will miss it.

ER was once a true television giant
by jimmy rabbitte
Herc is right. This show hasn't been very good, for a long time. The ep from two weeks ago, that brought back not only Clooney, Margulies and LaSalle, but also brought back John Wells as writer / director was the best ep of ER since 1995 or maybe '96.
 The later years got very aimless; and even wasted a guest starring / recurring performance by Forrest Whitaker. It's time to let it go. It is (and will likely continue to be) the last great 10:00 hour drama that NBC developed. It is ending an era; and turning the reins over to that lantern-jawed freak.
April 2, 2009, 9:03 a.m. CST
Best Episode
by Tar Heel
Easily, "Love's Labor Lost" which was about as harrowing as network TV gets. Yeah, the show has lost its edge in the past few seasons (fewer "Holy shit! All hell is breaking loose!" moments) but is still better than most 1-hour network dramas. Will Alexis Bledel's character have sex and fear contracting a social disease like Dr. Carter did in his early days? How about a Maria Bello cameo? Ahhhh, I'm just wishin'.
April 2, 2009, 9:31 a.m. CST
"Love's Labor Lost" was definitely the best episode.

gotta say, not a Neela fan
by oisin5199
I've always thought she was snobbish, cold, and annoying. And I didn't get why every man in the ER would constantly fall for her. Linda Cardellini is probably the hottest of the last few seasons, but her character is also extremely unlikeable. My favorite latter-seasons character has to be Morris. He went from being the biggest douchebag annoying loser to this joyful, heroic, stalwart - best gradual character transformation since Wesley on Angel. Abbey, despite all of her problems, was definitely the coolest chick on the show, though.
April 2, 2009, 11:40 a.m. CST
Got to agree about Morris
by Itchy
I'm not sure exactly when it was (I think it was about the time Romano caught blowin' doobage in the ambulance bay before getting helicoptered), but it was like a light clicked on in the writers room and they realized that Morris - and Scott Grimes - were gold. Ever since, he's been by far the best written ... and best acted of the show regulars. Best character turnaround ever on TV as far as I'm concerned.
April 2, 2009, 11:43 a.m. CST
The final minute of the show...
by DarthFloyd
Greene wakes up hearing the shower running. He walks over to the bathroom and opens up the curtain to see who is bathing. It is none other than TOM CRUISE!!!
Maverick looks back at him and says, "Hey Goose, you shaved your head, what's up with that?"
"I just had the weirdest dream..."

by Rob0729
They need to get Omar Epps to revise his Dr. Gant who will forgive Carter for throwing him under the bus when he complained to Anspaugh about Benton riding him like a little bitch that led to his suicide. That would be the perfect ending.

Gonna miss ya, ER!
by Col. Tigh-Fighter
They always did big disasters well, but didnt have one this season.
Some of the best episodes I saw were in Africa with Carter and Kovach. But my personal favourite was the one with Jeannie Boulet nusing Dr Anspars son who was dying of cancer. Amazing stuff. Also the one with the teenagers burnt in the car talking to his parents about not being able to go on holiday with them when everyone in the ER knew he would be dead soon. Harrowing stuff. Andddddd lol, that one with Rosemary Clooney was brilliant too.
Too many good episodes to mention.

What happened to Dr. Dave?
by Qwonk
I forgot he even existed until I saw the actor on Reaper the other week. Did his character die too, or just leave? Or, more likely, what did he do to get kicked out?
 That Reaper episode, by the way, was fairly awesome and yet also pissed me off at the same time. The poor guy still had to go back to hell? Well that sucks!

I have a question about the episode a few weeks back with the boxer. Why was he in Hell? Was it because he took a bribe to throw a fight? Sure it was a big enough deal to end his career but is it really enough to get him damned to Hell for all eternity?
April 2, 2009, 1:41 p.m. CST
Dr Dave
by I am_NOTREAL
If memory serves, Weaver fired him for screwing someone either in an elevator or the back of an ambulance. No big loss as his character just sort of showed up one day and then vanished just as abruptly. That was when the show was losing the edge of those first few great seasons and trying to find its way, and the death of Greene was the capper--after all the crap they put that character through I never forgave the writers for killing him off. And oh yeah, Love's Labor Lost trumps All in the Family. Another great ep is The Healers from s2
April 2, 2009, 1:45 p.m. CST
and as for Weaver
by I am_NOTREAL
Can someone who stayed with the show tell me what happened to her? Is she still on? I did see a few minutes of the ep where her firefighter girlfriend died.
April 2, 2009, 2 p.m. CST
Big Jim
by Qwonk
Yep, that's the problem I had with that episode, too. Does taking a bribe equal selling your soul? Cause, ouch, that's rough. Even when he redeemed himself, he was still sent back.
 Back to ER, I couldn't watch the episodes where Greene died. And by couldn't, I mean I didn't want to force myself to go through that kind of pain. I did finally watch a youtube clip of Carter reading Mark's final letter just the other day. It still stings.

by Godzookys_Dead
Bones, you are frakkin' nuts! "Her character (Neela) and Maura Tierney's Abby were the heart and soul of the show for the last five seasons. All the storylines all fed back in through them or in relation to Sam." Wow! Wow! WTF!?!?! Wether that is true and was the intent of the writers... that is precisely why ER failed and limped on for the last several years. Neela, Abby and now Sam have all been characters of deep self-absorption, indecisiveness and unlike-ability. The sheer number of characters that were infatuated with someone as a cold and aloof as Neela boggles the mind. Sorry but beauty only gets you so far, yes they were strong female characters BUT, they were also extremely hard to root for when all they did was wallow in their own self-pity. I write this from a guys perspective, but my wife has HATED those 3 characters for some time now as many other fans of ER have as well. I agree with several other posts that Morris has been a true beacon of light on this show over the last year and HE will truly be missed.

Speaking of Benrubi
by Qwonk
At least, I think someone mentioned him somewhere here...
 Can't believe the dude is all gray now! When did that happen?
 After "Old Times," I went to hulu and watched the episode before it, "What We Do." While Jerry and Frank were making their own rival documentary, the funniest part was when they were interviewing the cleaning lady, and their camera slowly pans down to show Carter just staring into the camera the whole time she's talking. For some reason, that shit made me laugh and laugh.

Weaver, uberman
by oisin5199
If I remember correctly, she actually had surgery right before she left so she wouldn't walk with the cane and limp anymore. I guess that was a nice sendoff.
And while relationships have always been central to the show, ER is NOT a soap opera like, say, Grey's Anatomy. The focus has always been on the hospital, the patients and the cases. The relationships are what happen around that, but they're not the focus most of the time.
 When I first started watching ER regularly, it was, ironically, after the Lucy's death episode that everyone touts. I had caught occasional episodes over the years, and I knew who Lucy was, but it wasn't appointment television when I was single - it was my wife who hooked me. I think ER was probably the first non-scifi/fantasy I was ever hooked on, and that's saying something. I had pooh-poohed it as a 'medical show' and why would I have any interest in that? But then I started watching consistently and got it.
The other thing, as I've said before, is that the promos ARE stupid, misleading, overdramatic, and cloying. But I've found that none of those promos had anything to do with the actual show. Usually, the big 'reveal' or 'twist' that the promos would trumpet would be completely underplayed on the actual show. Like the promotions department didn't know how to really promote the show, so they took some incident that was not that important in the scheme of things and made that the focus of the ad. But that's the network, not the show (and GOD, I hate that NBC announcer - keep this balance, buddy). On the contrary, what I've always been impressed by with the show, is the non-conventional structure of the episodes. That, despite what the promos say, the episodes usually forego the typical narrative climax of episodic television. The pacing and rhythm of the writing felt way more naturalistic than anything on tv in the 90s. I was constantly surprised how the episode would not typically end how I expected to, not because there were twist endings, but because things would often just happen, because it's a hospital. And you didn't need elaborate symbolism or a character explaining things to make it all fit. Because it was just life. Now granted, the show has fallen into many character and plot traps (how many times have we seen the maverick, asshole doctor or chief of medicine gain wisdom and become accepted? But maybe that's just how it works in ERs) But, this is still great television for the ages. I definitely agree about the first five seasons and last five being the best. There were some uneasy years, but they got it back on track and have mostly hit it out of the park this season.
April 2, 2009, 4:04 p.m. CST
oisin5199, you're right, the promos have long been
by jim
the worst thing about the show. Remember a few seasons ago when NBC was promoting the hell out of one episode as "Noah Wyle returns to ER"? But Carter is not seen until the last 5 seconds of the episode, I don't think he even had any lines. He was riding in a plane or helicopter in Africa. It was simply a very tiny tease for THE NEXT EPISODE in which the character of Carter would be central.
 I've always wondered if people saw the promo and tuned in only to walk away feeling gyped and then refused to return the following week when he was actually on the show.
NBC knows only 2 ways of promoting shows - Over-hype and Ignore.
April 2, 2009, 4:32 p.m. CST
by uberman
Your right-It, for me, was the way overboard hype that made me want to grab it by the throat and squeeze;) Man, those promos still stand as an example of what NOT to do to a show. For one episode every once in a while, I'll bite. But EVERY SINGLE FRIGGIN WEEK they pull the same stunt with the same promo. Thanks for the input though.

Great sendoff...
by Bones
It didn't do what everyone was expecting--no big main character death, no exploding hospital, no discovering that the hospital was insides a snowglobe (yes I am that old).
 Instead, most of the cameos were pretty organic to the story and the parallels in the plot between the finale and the pilot were great. You also got the feeling that the various plot threads continue after the end of the show. Benton will call Corday. Rachel Green will be part of the medical school, under Carter and Banfield. Sam and Gates finally work through Sam's stupid crap. Neela and Ray are happy in New Orleans--but still in contact with everyone.
 And like I said before...the whole last season has been like an extended final episode--with all of the regular characters having distinct arcs. Good job, ER--and now my Thursdays are free!
 Wow.
 I only have a couple other shows I watch on TV now--everything else is cancelled or ended. And the few shows I do watch will no doubt be cancelled soon, because that is how TV works. So, more free time.
 I need a hobby.

No Clooney? WTF?
by BackRiverCatfish
I actually figured he wouldn't return again, good ending nonetheless!
The final ER is airing at the moment. Three patients so far. Old lady who slipped and fell the rain. Young Teenage girl with severe alcohol poisoning that put her in a coma (Alcohol was supplied by the parents hosting the sleepover because they would rather they drank somewhere safe , and a kid with severe projectile vomiting. New intern played by Alexis Bledel (she so needs to get back on TV) and potential med students touring the hospital with Chaz (Dead Doctor Pratt's younger brother) Guess who one of the potentials is?) Gates calls the cops on the parents who supplied the Vodka for the underage girls and the cops man handle him while Gates is cocky. The guy says he wants to talk to a lawyer and Gates tells him he better have a good one. The cop tells Gates to shut the hell up. Carter takes Dr. Susan Lewis and Dr. Kerry Weaver on a tour of his own private medical facility that he paid for and had built. They are giving Alexis a lot of work for her first appearance on the show. I would have liked to see more of her during the season and less of her in the final episode. Her patient has Pneumonia, Cancer and Aids all at once. 45 minutes into the episode and he have seen neither hide nor hair the Chief Resident Dr. Banfield. Also no sight of the intern played by Shiri Appleby. Carter and Dr. Simon Brenner just delivered twins of course one of them isn't doing to well and neither is the mom. but she got her two daughters. Rachel Greene is in awe over how much everything looks the same. And reveals to Frank at the desk who she is. He is kind of choked up about it. Anyone who has ever seen a little kid they know accomplish something great (such as surviving to adult age and consider going to medical school knows the feeling.) Finally we get a shot Banfield as she is getting ready to interview Rachel. By the start of hour two both twins are doing well but the mom we are unsure with the mom. Ernest Borgnine is back from a couple of weeks ago and asking for Gates. Where as previously he wanted to end his wife's suffering now he isn't ready to lose her. His wife passes away Tony and Sam watch over him Sam thanks him for his help with Alex. Turns out alcoholism girl is named Stacy and actually 17. Her parents don't want her admitted at County. Stacy doesn't respond well to being transferred so she gets a cat scan Carter is at the opening of The Carter Center Named after Joshua Carter, Carter's son. His wife is in the back of the crowd. Benton and his son as well as Susan Lewis and Kerry Weaver are all in attending. Carter and the others reminisce about old times and make plans to go for drinks and Carter's wife bails because she can't stand to be there. Elizabeth shows upbringing 22 year old Rachel with her to the bar. Carter takes Lewis and Rachel back to the ER while Benton escorts Elizabeth back to her H2 and Weaver leaves because she has an early flight. The mother of the twins didn't make it. Bledel takes it really badly The staff celebrates Sam's birthday and her son shows up to give her her birthday present. A rebuilt Mustang. from him and Tony. She is beyond thrilled. Gates get's an old man who injured his penis while having sex in the nursing station at his nursing home. While Gates is doing the exam the patient hits on the young intern. Apparently the guy was shooting caulk into his urethra because he couldn't afford Viagra. Archie gets two patients who get in a fight at a wedding. A bride and her new mother in law. Both fighting over the Groom's attention while being fixed up. Carter gives Rachel some lessons in placing an IV to Banfields shock and disagreement. Wyle is real life is 38 but looks about 10 years older in his imdb photo. Gates and Carter shoot baskets in the alley because Carter has an important phone call to make and he doesn't want to miss it. Tony tells Carter that if he is going to stick around so much he should pick up some shifts and get paid for it. Rachel gets stories from the actual doctors about there first year of med school. Towards the end of the episode they get an alert about an explosion with incoming. All of the docs and nurses stand in the alley awaiting the new arrivals. Archie triages the incoming telling the doctors who gets what and carter is overwhelmed with deja vu. As Carter wheels his patient into the ER he hollers at Rachel. "Doctor Green are you coming?" And the camera pulls back. And we fade to black. I was really pleased with the episode. The only thing I would have changed is less focus on Alexis Bledel's character (I get it was because they were trying to make her out to be Carter but still it was too much) and more focus on some of the other characters we had previously seen like Archie's girlfriend or the other Intern that slept with Gates. There were a lot of characters we could have seen other than just focus on the new girl. agreed with them all in the ambulance bay and carter and gates playing hoops.

this was beautiful
by Whatcokes982
I stopped watching the show regularly when Romano got killed by the helicopter, but I'm glad I started watching it again this season. They really made it special for us long time fans. ER was one of the best shows on television for at least 8 seasons. It stumbled heavily these last few years, but thankfully it regained its footing this year, and it went out w/ its dignity intact. I was beyond thrilled when Rachel Greene walked through those County doors, and that scene b/t Corday and Benton was beyond perfect. I'm glad the show didn't forget how important their relationship was during its middle years. Just a great, great sendoff. I couldn't be happier.

Yeah, that last shot was great... we've never seen the hospital like that before because the exterior ambulance bay is shot at Warner Bros. Studios in L.A., but they always did the long location stuff in Chicago. They must have used a digital composite to "drop" the ambulance bay in Chicago for the final scene.
Either way, it was an excellent way to go out. I'm glad I stuck with it all these years and never missed an episode. It was well worth it.
I will really miss ER. What a great show.

Final shot
by Anakin Whoopass
Didn't expect the final shot of ER to be CGI, but it looked great. Guess they wanted to say, we're NOT in a snow globe.

Carter's "Wife" ....
by Itchy
by far the worst fucking character in the history of ER (well, at least tied with that shrill harpy, Corday). Just an unrelenting, joyless bitch.

They should have titled it "Deja vu"
by kikuchiyoboy
I really dug the ending it was subtle and wrapped the whole series nicely. It was an elegant ending.

 It's like when the Huxtables danced off stage.

They should have ended it by saying it was all a dream...
by Leafar the Lost
...from the mind of an autistic child. All of the ER characters were his family members and friends from his life.

A great ending to a great show
by jim
I watched the first couple of seasons; then only managed to see a handful of episodes until I started watching full-time again in the 10th season.
I'm glad they went with a finale that would appeal to the fans of the show instead of catering to those looking for the "big event" (the kind of things ER would do in their season finales - people shot, car crashes, exploding ambulances). While I do appreciate a well-done "holy shit" moment, it's not always the right tone for a final episode. It was a nice way to wrap up the series
April 3, 2009, 12:15 p.m. CST
Yup - a fitting ending
by oisin5199
It was no BSG, for sure, but it had a very different task. This show has been on for 15 years. I think the people who have been posting the hate here are probably not much older than that. So they don't remember how groundbreaking and innovative the show was when it first came on. That Retrospective was amazing and reminded us how different ER was. Especially technically. The fact that it was written as a movie, not a tv pilot. That it was filled with filmic techniques that just weren't used on television - especially the brilliantly choreographed "one-ner" shots, where the camera cantilevers from one trauma room to the next while people are running around, shouting, sometimes not cutting for several minutes. Anyway, some of those cast interviews were fantastic - people describing how difficult it was to do the hospital scenes - and seeing Alex Kingston start to break up as she's describing the final scenes with Anthony Edwards during the Mark Greene death episode. Wow. I was reaching for the tissues with that one.
But with the episode, I LOVED that they brought back the title sequence with all those characters. I've been missing that for the last few years. Frank's reaction at recognizing Rachel Greene just brought it home for me. The callbacks to the pilot, even stylistically, were great. And in the true spirit of the show, as has been mentioned, this wasn't an episode about tragic deaths, heroic saves and wild plot twists. Rather, it was about a typical day where good and bad things happen (you save some, you lose some - and sometimes when you lose them, you don't even know about it until later). That it's just about getting through your day and making it to the next one. At first I was a bit iffy on focusing so much on a new character that had just been introduced in the finale (the Gilmore Girls chick), but then I got that the show was about the experience of being an ER doctor, and that this person was going through the same stuff that Carter went through on his first day. Even the bittersweet reunions - if you've ever been to any kind of a reunion, where you're social with people you used to be close to, but so much time has passed, that's exactly how it is. It's nice, it's nostalgic, somewhat awkward, and you say goodbye not knowing if you'll ever really see each other again. It's not dramatic and emotional - it's just...kinda weird, but nice. That's what this show has always done well, and why I think it's not a soap opera. The interactions always felt REAL, not contrived for television. And that final shot of the entire hospital just rocked. I'll miss County.

Good last episode
by jimmy rabbitte
They did a nice job with it. I do think the show went on several years too long though. It was being referred to as "an aging warhorse" ten years ago; so it was definitely time to wrap it up for good.

by Qwonk
I wasn't ready to say goodbye last night, but I couldn't put it off any longer so I finally watched it off my DVR. It didn't blow me away. I don't even know if I'd really call it memorable. But when that rush of ambulances started to flood in and the music started playing and I realized this had to be the last scene, my stomach twisted all up on me.
April 3, 2009, 6 p.m. CST
i've never seen a single epsidoe of the show before
by Timahh
until last nights. The only i can say is that John Stamos has been my hero since Full House and will continue to do so. Also, i know the ending had something to do with the first episode, but if they would have ended the show with them all just standing there waiting for the ambulances, that woulda been pretty damn cool.

John Carter and Rachel Greene
by Blanket-Man
Do I smell a May-December romance in bloom? C'mon, Carter was all over her! "You'll need to use a BIG needle to make sure it penetrates..." No subtlety there! OK episode, but nowhere near as good as the big three Returns from earlier this season (Green's, Morganstern's, and Ross's).

Alyssa Arce, an experienced model who's already appeared in fashion magazines and the like, will be Playboy's July 2013 Playmate.
And we just have to say — having a style can be a good thing. It's nice to be dependable. A lot of the time, people like to know what they're going to get. But the behind-the-scenes pictures Alyssa has sent out over the Instagram from her Playmate shoot look unlike anything we've seen in the Playmate space in recent history. A style is nice. But change is good.
It was a dusty, sunny day at the Willow Springs race track, outside of Los Angeles. There was a very hot girl (Alyssa) wearing leather jackets, jumpsuits, mirror shades, an Evel Knievel-ish star-spangled helmet, and posing with a 1987 Ferrari. This looks very hot to us. The photos were taken by Sasha Eisenman. For a little more info and a couple more pictures, visit the Playboy Blog.
Check out the pictures in this gallery — the first 12 or so are from her shoot day. There's also a video below that is about a year old and is more proof of her super hotness.

While I loved the original cut of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, there were definitely some issues with the game — namely, the boss battles. Apparently, Eidos and Square Enix decided to listen to fans on this one and improve that aspect of the game in addition to modifying some other features like graphics and extra missions in the recently released Director's Cut.
Now, on to the really exciting part. If you own Deus Ex: HR on Steam, then you can upgrade for just $10, but wait, there's more. If, like me, you already own the original release and the badass DLC, The Missing Link, you can upgrade for a paltry $5! Yes, you heard me correctly, FIVE AMERICAN DOLLARS, so why are you still reading this?
Another win for PC gamers in my book. Check below for the full details straight from our old pals at Square Enix.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution – Director's Cut has been fully augmented to include Tongs's Rescue mission and the entire Missing Link chapter which have been integrated seamlessly into the narrative flow as well as all of the original pre-order and bonus weapons. Fan features like the 45 minute "making of" video, over 8 hours of developer commentary, the official strategy guide, and New Game+ have also been added to the Director's Cut.
Boss fights have been completely overhauled and redesigned with new maps and mechanics to support each one of the gameplay pillars: Action, Stealth, and Hacking. Major enhancements have also been made to the game including a rebalanced energy system, updated enemy A.I., and striking visual improvements which make this edition the best looking and most immersive Deus Ex experience available.
Stay tuned to Fate of the Game for more.

By Tayleigh Davis - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - Get ready to dig a lot deeper into you pocket to pay your power bill. Bills arriving in mailboxes now cover those couple of weeks this month when temperatures dipped into the teens or 20s every night.
A lot of people are shocked by the high cost of staying warm during the deep freeze. The parking lot at the Water Gas and Light building was bustling with people this afternoon paying their power bills.
Many customers weren't eager to bring out their checkbooks because they knew they'd be paying a lot more. Minnie Suttles was one of them. She was not happy when she opened her power bill for this month.
"My bill this month is extremely high," Suttles said. "Last month it was $331 and it just jumped up."
Her bill was $485 for January- up from about $200 on a regular month.
"We're seeing higher bills and we knew we would," said Water Gas and Light Assistant General Manager Lorie Farkas.
Farkas recommends people set their thermostat at 68.
"68 is not warm enough for me," Suttles said. "It has to be about 72 degrees for me to be comfortable."
"People need to be aware as they move the thermostat up and down they're adding money to their bill," Farkas said.
She says every degree over 68 raises the bill three percent. That's nearly $15 extra a month for Suttles whos bill almost hit $500.
When bills inch over $250, Farkas says people can pay 75 percent of their bill.
" So we do try to bend over backwards to help people," Farkas said.
Farkas says the commission has no money set aside for people struggling to pay their bills, but it will make exceptions for those hit with emergencies. Among others, hefty medical bills or job losses count.
At the same time she advises people to clean their air filters once a month to allow air to flow more easily.
Minnie Suttles plans to weatherize her home. so she'll be prepared for the next time severe weather hits.
WG&L cuts off power from 3, 000 to 5,000 people each month.
Another way to prevent that from happening, run the hot water heater when it's being used . It counts for 15 percent of the bill when running all day.

Michael Beasley optimistic about returning
Michael Beasley expressed optimism about returning to the Timberwolves next season after having his exit interview Wednesday, April 25, with coach Rick Adelman and president of basketball operations David Kahn. Beasley will become a restricted free agent after the Timberwolves play their final game Thursday night at Target Center against the Denver Nuggets. "I feel pretty good about coming back next year," Beasley said. "I'm hopeful. I'm going to approach my summer as if I'm coming back. I'm going to try to come back in the best possible shape I can and be the best player I can be." Beasley, nearing the end of his fourth NBA season and second with the Timberwolves, is due $8.172 million in 2012-13, the final year of his contract. The Timberwolves have the option on whether to pick up his salary for next season. Beasley, who missed 19 games because of foot and toe injuries, averaged 11.5 points and 4.5 rebounds and shot 44.5 percent from the floor. He started the Timberwolves' first seven games and was the team's second-leading scorer behind Kevin Love before suffering a foot injury Jan. 6 that cost him 11 games. When Beasley was healthy enough to play, Adelman decided to bring him off the bench the rest of the season. Before the Timberwolves' game against Memphis on April 17, Beasley said he "didn't want to get comfortable" in a reserve role if he came back next season and said he sees himself "as a starter." Beasley said he got no indication from Kahn or Adelman about his future with the team. Kahn and Adelman are holding a news conference Friday morning to discuss the team's offseason plans and decisions on players. "They just told me what I need to do to get better," Beasley said of Kahn and Adelman. "I'm going to work on everything to become an all-around great player ... not just a scorer, a rebounder or a defender." Beasley said he will spend most of the offseason in Los Angeles working out with former Los Angeles Lakers star Norm Nixon. Follow Ray Richardson at Twitter.com/twolvesnow. I think he should spend his summer working with Rose, Love, Durant, Kobe, etc not Norm Nixon; unless he wants to play SG for us next season ;)

Petition plea from 'siege' Longridge villagers
4:10pm Thursday 13th February 2014 in News
LONGRIDGE residents have been called on to sign a petition to 'protect the town which is under siege' from developers.
Dilworth councillors Ken Hind and Rupert Swarbrick want residents to sign the 'Save Longridge' petition after delivering 600 leaflets to households in the Ribble Valley town.
The petition will be handed to the Ribble Valley Borough Council, urging it to 'stand firm' on the numbers of homes to be built in Longridge in its plan for development of the whole borough to 2028.
Coun Hind said: "The problem we face in Longridge is that it's a town under siege from developers who are desperate to bypass development plans formulated by local authorities.
"The borough development plan and the Longridge Neighbourhood Plan led by the town council now in preparation will provide defences against demands for excessive development.
"The solution for Longridge residents is to sign the petition, and support the Longridge Neighbourhood Plan.
"We plan to raise the need for the Ribble Valley Borough Council to stand firm at the Core Strategy working group on Thursday, a subcommittee set up to drive forward the Borough Development plan."

A postal worker has been arrested and charged with breach of trust after Richland County deputies say he intercepted counterfeit money at his job.
Deputies say 45-year-old Richard Houghtallen was arrested at the Dutch Fork Post Office on Thursday afternoon.
Investigators say Houghtallen was caught after some of the money that was once in his possession was used at a Dunkin Donuts branch on Two Notch Road.
After issuing a search warrant for Houghtallen's residence, deputies found $10,000 worth of fake money that was meant to be handled by federal investigators.
Deputies say Houghtallen received the money through his job where local banks would send off the counterfeit bills to be investigated by the US Secret Service.
Houghtallen was taken to the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center.

The University of Evansville and Fifth Third Bank hosted a dedication ceremony for the new Fifth Third Bank Basketball Practice Facility.
The 2:30 p.m. ceremony was held Friday, November 2 in conjunction with Homecoming 2012 Reunion Weekend. Women's basketball coach Oties Epps, men's basketball coach Marty Simmons, players from the men's and women's teams, and Fifth Third Bank President and CEO John N. Daniel, Jr. will speak at the ceremony.
The $3.6 million, 25,000-square-foot facility, located on the west side of UE's Carson Center, was funded entirely by private donors. It includes gym space, men's and women's players' lounges, and offices and storage areas for basketball coaching staff. The Fifth Third Bank Basketball Practice Facility marks the first phase of the University of Evansville's new campus facilities master plan.
"Less than eight months after announcing the Fifth Third Bank Basketball Practice Facility, we're thrilled to show off the completed facility," said John Stanley, UE director of athletics. "We anticipated the need for a practice facility when the men's and women's basketball programs moved to the Ford Center, which resulted in fewer opportunities to practice on their home court. It also caused scheduling challenges for the University's athletics, fitness, and recreational activities that use the Carson Center."
"The Fifth Third Bank Basketball Practice Facility will help us recruit outstanding athletes, support the men's and women's basketball players already enrolled, and benefit all students at the University of Evansville by creating more space in the Carson Center," Stanley added. "We're very grateful to Fifth Third Bank and all project donors for their support of this beautiful new facility and of Purple Aces athletics."
"Fifth Third Bank is proud to be a part of this dedication," said John N. Daniel, Jr., President and CEO of Fifth Third Bank, Southern Indiana and chairman of the Athletics Committee of UE's Board of Trustees. "Not only is the Fifth Third Bank Basketball Practice Facility a major step forward for Aces athletics, but also the University of Evansville as a whole.

Sure we want to win every game, but with a 162 game schedule, one thing is guaranteed, we will lose 50+ games.
The Tigers have already lost several games in the late innings this season. Is that so bad? Is it worse to lose a gut wrenching game in the 9th inning or to have the starter or middle reliever get blown out? Would you rather have trivial managerial decisions be the difference between winning and losing or have no strategical means to victory?
One would think that the better the team is, the fewer blow out defeats they'll have. The better team will have more loses that come down to the final at bat or pitch. As frustrating as that may sound, it's probably the best thing that could happen when you are on the losing end. Perhaps those types of loses should thought of as moral victories, in that the game could of easily went in our favor.
So the next time when it seems like the sky is falling in the 9th inning, it's probably because we're a better baseball team that never quits.
What's your favorite way to lose?

It doesn't seem like very long ago last season that we were all clamoring for Brad Lincoln to step up and help rejuvenate our struggling rotation. We all know how that turned out with Brad going 1-4 with a 6.66 ERA. A lot has changed at the big league level with seemingly all of our pitchers having career seasons. Lincoln in the meantime has improved on his AAA numbers that had us all crying for him to arrive last year. His K/BB has gone from 3.50 to 4.54, he's seen his WHIP go up a tick from 1.14 to 1.17 (which I think could be attributed to BABIP going from .280 to .308). He's leaving more runners on base, he's allowing fewer home runs, plus, his FIP and ERA are down.
I guess in conclusion, don't forget about Lincoln who is far from fading. With all the hype certain other guys are getting (cough Rudy Owens cough) it is Lincoln who has been performing better and who should get the call if and when the team needs another starter.

book cover reveal, Laura K. Cowan, Lone Cypress, mythic fiction, new books, new fairytales, Permanence and Choice, psychological paranormal romance, speculative fiction, supernatural fiction, The Thin Places
I only just revealed the cover to my upcoming second novel Music of Sacred Lakes, but things have been moving quickly here, and I am excited to show you my next THREE book covers today, all to be released over the next year. This is the year I've been waiting for and working so hard toward (and having fun, finally!): in the next few months I will have modern fairytales, imaginative fantasy fiction, and a psychological thriller with supernatural elements (and a romance) to offer you. Maybe even two more books including a psychological murder mystery (you know I'll fit some crazy nightmares and supernatural psychological elements in there too) and a more YA fantasy novel about a whole town whose dreams bleed into waking reality. For now, here are the next three books, and I'll be back soon. These blog tours and releases will go quickly, so I can get back to writing more stories. Stay tuned!
The Thin Places: Supernatural Tales of the Unseen [Coming June 2014]
The prayer poems of a bullied girl come to life when read in front of her class as a cruel joke. A young boy asks his mother why she ignores the customers in a mountain town shop, but she sees no one but him. A boy's faith literally moves mountains, which destroys the life of the Sunday school teacher who doubted him. Reality doesn't behave quite as expected in The Thin Places, a collection of short stories that explore the thin places between the physical and spiritual worlds, portals, time juxtapositions, dreams, and other possibilities of the might-be-real.
Lone Cypress [Coming October 2014]
What does it mean to be possessed? By a person, by a dream, and by your demons? Shana knows. Shana was a ballerina. At least that was what her mother told her when she moved them to New York and changed their name so she could pursue the dream. But after Shana was kicked out of school for experimenting with new dance forms that could wreck her ballet-trained body, and escaped her stage mom only to fall into a dangerous marriage, all she has left is a list of things she thought she was. The only thing still alive in her spirit is the ballet she wanted to choreograph, and suddenly it has taken on a life of its own. Shana runs, from her husband, from her life, and from the terrifying dreams that insist she make a change–until she runs out of time and must face not only her husband's hired gun but the monster in her mind.
Permanence & Choice: 3 Dimension-Shifting Novelettes [Coming November 2014]
A young girl chases down clues in a dream maze, shrunk to a tiny size and running for her life from burning dollhouses and flying projectiles at night, while evading the mob's watchful eye by day. Some most unexpected family friends help her and her mother finally make a break for freedom. Short, sweet, and unbelievably imaginative, The Scent of Yellow Flowers is a story for anyone who has ever been lost and needed to be found.
In the animal fable The Day The Cows Came Home, the farmer's wife has died, the farmer sells the farm, and the world falls into war. At the abandoned farmhouse, deep in the Finnish wintertime when nothing ever seems to change, the animals are on a quest to understand if time is at an end and they with it–only to discover time itself is not what they assumed.
The Man in the Moon holds on while the grumpy moon tries to shake him off. His friends the stars urge him to jump, but something holds The Man in the Moon in the Twilight in the Firmament. But soon, the universe begins to change, and The Man in the Moon is off on a fabulous adventure to discover the beauty of the existence around him, and how his choices and those of other beings shape space and time.
