The Vigo County Sheriff's Office has sent a press release yesterday wanting us to tell you that if you have business at the Vigo County Court House next week, be ready for greatly increased security.
22 year old William Mallory of Indianapolis is accused of shooting three people near the Ballyhoo Tavern in August of 2012.
Dustin Kelly of Terre Haute died as a result of those wounds.
Last summer when Mallory appeared in court there was a fight in the court room between members of Mallory's and Kelly's families.
During the trial next week, everyone including courthouse staff will have to show photo ID and go through two metal detectors.
The sheriffs department says that they have not been told or tipped of something that might happen but they will not be taking any chances.
Police ask that if you are coming to the courthouse for any reason, allow more time to go through security, and try to limit the number of items you are bringing in.

BATTLE CREEK (WKZ0) -- Its been a long strange trip to justice for a Battle Creek Police Officer who very nearly got away with drunk driving.
Officer William Gensch has been fined over a thousand dollars, his license suspended for a month and restricted for 5 more months.
Last year, Gensch and his then girlfriend and fellow officer, Jennifer Appl were found in the wreck of her car after it had been seen going at a high rate of speed, mowing down mail boxes and stop signs in Bedford Township.
Instead of handling it like a normal case, their Lieutenant just drove them home, despite preliminary breath tests showing they were 3 and 4 times over the legal limit. He was demoted for dereliction of duty.
After complaints of a cover up from the community, Gensch was finally charged and pled no contest to misdemeanor driving under the influence. He will be on probation with the department for three years.
Appl was not charged last year, but has since resigned from the force after showing up for work drunk in early April.

Hello all, and thanks for reading my first post on TheJetPress. Although I'm new to this website, I have been blogging for several years. I can probably name off the top of my head 90% of the Jets draft picks starting from Blair Thomas being taken 2nd out of Temple University. I've seen a ton of horrible picks, and lot of good picks. If you watched the draft when it was in MSG, in the early to mid 2000's you can probably find me somewhere in the crowd. With that being said, let's talk about the 2013 draft.
My view this year, is that the Jets need to go the opposite way of what they have done in the past half dozen drafts. Past drafts have been about "potential" and "trading up for quality", over getting quantity and experience. Sometimes it worked out, but most often it has not. This year especially should be about the finished product players. I'm going to focus on giving you a background on players that are ready to play a role right now. Experience is better than potential in my mind. I also think trading back is better than trading up. For that reason I'm going to start with a series of late round guys. Some you've heard of, some you may not have. These are all guys that I see making the Jets primarily as back-ups, and special teams, and also as potential starters, and late round steals. Most importantly, all of them fill a need on this team.
First up is one of my favorite players out of Pittsburgh, RB Raymond Graham. Ray Graham is the best running back that a lot of people never heard of. Last year, a lot of people said trade for Trent Richardson, I said try to get Doug Martin from Boise State. This year, a lot of people are saying Eddie Lacy! I say forget the 1st or 2nd round Lacy. I am putting my stake in the ground with Ray Graham.
Ray is a rated somewhere from late 4th to early 7th round right now, depending on which draft site you go to. Since it's early and combines and private workouts haven't happened, he could move up or down a good bit. What I can tell you is the Jets need to grab this guy. Measurables-wise he's 5'9 about 195. He'll probably run a low to mid 4.4 40 time. But height, weight, and 40 don't mean anything to me as much as what the player does on the field. Now I'm gonna tell you why you need to pay attention to this guy.

New MacBook Air Freezing & Crashing? Try Using Safari or Chrome Canary For Now

Defense attorney for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has represented some of America's most hated mass murderers. It seems only fitting with her client list that Judy Clarke would take Tsarnaev on as a client.
Tsarnaev has admitted to FBI interrogators that he and his now deceased brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev were responsible. The first charges have been filed against him and it is expected that the US Attorney will seek the death penalty.
While it unusual for Judy Clark to speak to the press as she rarely gives interviews, on Friday she discussed her death penalty defenses at LA's Loyola Law School. "Most have suffered from serious severe trauma, unbelievable trauma."
"We know that from brain research. Many suffer from severe cognitive development issues that affect the core of their being."
"I got a dose of understanding human behavior and I learned what the death penalty does to us. I don't think it is a secret that I oppose the death penalty. We should enjoy the opportunity to step into their lives. It can be chaotic, but it's a privilege to be there as a lawyer."
Judy Clarke's client list is full of vile, hated murderers. Their trials were all death penalty cases and she was able to get them life in prison instead of the death penalty. She has represented:
- Susan Smith who drowned her two little boys
- Unibomber Teddy Kaczynski who killed three people and wounded 23 with his bombs
- Eric Rudolph the anti-abortion terrorist bomber who killed two people and injured 150
- Jared Loughner who is the Tucson shooter who pleaded guilty to 19 counts of murder

I want some privacy for my b-day, thanksHappy birthday, Suri Cruise! How will the Princess of Scientology be spending her big day, I wonder? Riding her very own pink unicorn across a meadow of gumdrops in a custom-made Alexander McQueen for Kids gown? (Yeah, I know, McQueen would never.) I guess we'll have to wait for the tabloids to follow the 6-year-old around all freakin' day to find out.
But in the meantime, let's take walk (or have our mommies carry us) down memory lane and remember some of the highlights of Suri Cruise's short but endlessly absorbing life.
October 2005 Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise announce that they have mated and will produce an offspring shortly. There is much couch jumping, apparently a Scientology fertility ritual. Yes, I had to make that joke. It's in my job description.
April 18, 2006 Suri is reportedly born at St. John's Medical Center in Santa Monica, California. Doctors were at first alarmed at what appeared to be a dark ball of fur that emerged from Katie, but it turns out this really was just Tom's human offspring. Later a birth certificate is produced to prove she is not an alien sent by Xenu. Birthers!
October 2006 Suri's first Vanity Fair cover! The whole family poses together. "See, we told you it was a human baby. Now shut up." TomKat exude parental bliss. Suri is impossibly cute, but I still believe she's a real baby.
September 2009 First Suri in heels sighting. It's just the beginning of what will become a reportedly $15,000 shoe collection we are all secretly envious of.
December 2009 The Gillenda Mundo Park Zoo in Seville, Spain closes so Suri can have a private tour. Paparazzi gnash their teeth in response.
July 2010 Suri Cruise's first poop goes on sale. Not really.
October 2010 Suri dons a supposedly $6,000 Halloween costume. A princess in a blue gown, plus a few pearls, natch. Every little girl's dream!
September 2011 Suri steps out in bright-red lipstick. Mothers gasp in horror. Red lips on a child! Why I never! Etc. etc. Meanwhile, retailers report a run on smelling salts.
February 2011 Suri gets her first Starbucks. Calm down! It's probably just hot chocolate.
March 2011 Suri is still using a pacifier?!? Parents with weaned 4-year-olds rejoice in the opportunity to feel smug. Privately Katie and Tom have colossal argument over who forgot to hid the binky this time.
January 2012 Tom takes Suri to Disneyland. Their Disney minder plays with her hair and tries to act totally normal. Nice try, minder! We all know you're just one hysterical giggle away from totally losing it.
How do you think Suri will spend her sixth birthday?
Image via Pacific Coast News
For pity's sake! She is six years old. This article is a snark at everyone who is already obsessed with the poor kid. But Suri will probably, like most kids her age, eat cake and ice-cream and get little spoiled on her special day.
Like my kids spent their 6th birthday, she should be spending the day in SCHOOL, then have fun later.
Adriana -
"But in the meantime, let's take walk (or have our mommies carry us)..."
Should say:
"But in the meantime, let's take a walk (or have our mommies carry us)..."
There may be more errors, but that's as far as I could stand reading. Seriously, if you professional writers don't have an editor, you can hire me part time.
Poor kid, lets just wish her a happy b'day and leave her alone.
She is adorable and it is not our bussiness wondering why mom still carries her sometimes.
Nothing poor about this kid.. she is spoiled beyond anyone's belief on a regular basis so on her birthday it's probably 100x worse! I just still can't get the image of her public tantrum out of my head... what I wanna know is who is the blonde with them instead of the mom?! I think celebrities are absolutely ridiculous for having nannies for ONE child especially a 6 yr old!
And to think, while she's doing all that, the millions of kids that are starving to death in this country get to watch it all unfold. Wasteful, shallow celebrities. Why does she need a $6,000 Halloween costume? Buy her one for $100 which is still too much and give that $5,900 to someone who needs it. This is exactly what is wrong with this country and why everyone wants change so badly! I agree the author shouldn't waste her time picking on a child, instead she should be pointing out how horrible these celebrities are.
she is such a pretty little girl , I hope she can live a some what normal life ...

Facebook Home
A collection of apps from Facebook that provides a stream of Facebook posts, photos and links on a smartphone's home screen or lock screen. By replacing the smartphone's standard home screen, Facebook Home brings the social network's most popular features to the forefront of a user's smartphone.
While long rumored to be an actual smartphone from Facebook (i.e. Facebook Phone), Facebook Home instead officially launched as a free app for Android-powered smartphones. Facebook Home is being built in to some smartphones such as the HTC First, and it can be downloaded from the Google Play store for Android phones that don't already have Facebook Home pre-installed.
Facebook Home isn't currently available for Apple's iOS mobile operating system, but analysts report Facebook may be working with Apple to create a version for the iPhone.

Daniel Craig does everything to dispel comparisons to Stanley Kubrick's The Shining with a finely tuned performance, but the film flattens as it tries to explain his character's psychological state.

I liked it, though admittedly in a minority along with 36% of viewers. This site increasingly highlights the irrelevancy of the reviewers who are increasingly populist, self indulgent and out of touch with what audiences actually think. A 30% rating disparity between reviewers and audiences goes beyond credible margins of error and blunders into incompetence.

Unlike Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta refuses to predict that President Obama will win a second term in the White House.
Panetta deflected a direct question about the elections during an interview yesterday. "In 40 years of experience in politics, the one thing I've learned is never to predict anything," he answered asked to make a "prediction about the US elections" by Daoud Sultanzoy of the Afghan news station, Tolo TV.
"I believe, since I'm a Democrat, that the president has provided strong leadership and that we provide a strong platform for the future," Panetta added. "But it's going to be up to the American people to make that decision."
Sultanzoy asked if Republicans might have a better relationship with the Afghan government, but Panetta dodged that one as well. "I think that whatever party is ultimately empowered by the American people will have to maintain a strong relationship with President Karzai and whoever follows him, because the future of Afghanistan will determine whether or not the price that we pay -- not just the United States, but the Afghan people -- whether that price was worthwhile," he said.
Clinton displayed none of Panetta's reservations during a recent trip to Tunisia, when she assured a group of Tunisians worried about Republican support for so-called "Zionist lobbies" that Obama "will be reelected President."

text: Wanting to openly and regularly communicate with the person you are having intimate relations with does not make you clingy. Clingy is when you have no friends of your own, no hobbies, no life and in addition to that, have no desire to fill those absences with anything other than your lover. That is clingy. Wondering why your person didn't speak to you for an entire day does not make you clingy…but not reaching out to the person you're seeing on your own when you want to talk to them does make you insecure. Remember through all the power plays in relationships, honesty and vulnerability are the most powerful in the long run. Be true to yourself and your needs so you can get the relationship you want.

DONIPHAN — The Blue Hill football team found itself out-gaining Class C-2 No. 2 Doniphan-Trumbull 161-88 on the ground at halftime of Friday's game in Doniphan. The Bobcats also ran 39 offensive plays to the Cardinals' 23. But the score was still in Doniphan-Trumbull's favor with the Cardinals leading 28-6.
The second half was all D-T as the Cardinals ran away with a 34-12 victory. Doniphan-Trumbull's defense forced four turnovers in the first half, giving its offense ample opportunities to score. D-T's offense is known for its explosive attack, but it was the defense that stood out in the first half.
"Our guys played really well. They really worked well, studying what (Blue Hill) does," said Doniphan-Trumbull head coach Brent Breckner. "I think our kids were kind of tired of hearing how bad they were on defense... We still have a long way to go, but our kids came out ready to play defense for sure."

NEW INTERVIEW!!- Stylin' Wit Nikkiya
Check out this exclusive interview with break out star Nikkiya. She has been featured on Tech 9's new album "6's and 7's" as well as Wiz Khalifa's "Rolling Papers". She has also collaborated with fellow friend and break out star Yelawolf on the song "Speak Her Sex". With super producer Will Power behind her, (producer of Shady 2.0 and numerous other works), Nikkiya is looking to have a stellar year. Be sure to click "Read More" for the whole interview and to check her personal page along the right hand side for links to her music!
Where and when were your born?
I was born in Virginia, but my mom was in the Navy, so we didn't live there too long. We traveled around a lot. We lived in places such as Italy and even Guam. When I did get back to the United States, I lived in South Carolina. I lived there for a while and got my career started there, so I feel as though I'm a product of that southern environment.
When did you begin singing?
Well, I started singing professionally when I moved to South Carolina, but I sang my whole life. I have been singing since basically birth. My mom was that parent that always made me sing for her friends. She would always go, "Sing that part from that movie." (laughs) She was like, "that" mom and I was "that" kid (laughs).
What inspired you to begin performing when you were a kid?
Well, like I said, my mom always made me sing at weddings and parties. I remember though, I always wanted to be on the show "Star Search", but my mom would never do it. Instead I watched a lot of television and re-enacted all of the performances I would see. One person my mom watched a lot was "Downtown Julie Brown". She was on MTV. I think she was a video host. I just remember she looked really fly and I would dress up like her and put on shows at home. My mom has a ton of pictures of me dressed up in these crazy outfits, performing and singing. I did a lot of pretending growing up.
Is that kind of how you developed your style? How did you develop the style you have today?
I think living in Asia and Italy have contributed to my style. When you mix that with South Carolina, you get a very unique style. It is definitely unique to me. I always liked bands like "Ace of Bass" and all that euro-pop music. When I came to South Carolina, I started to hear all this crunk music. So I began incorporating those sounds in to my music. I also grew up with my mom listening to artists like Anita Baker and Whitney Houston. On top of that, my dad was a preacher, so I grew up around a lot of gospel. All of that is very genuine and authentic. It is so truly in my blood and make-up, that my genre is like, jamming. I don't know, all these different sounds kind of come out of me just from being around it so much.
Is that how you incorporated sounds for your new album?
Yea, I pulled a lot from gospel, techno, pop, euro. Obviously classic R&B singers influence me. I love Ashanti, I think she's so slick. So I pull all of these things together. I don't do it on purpose, it just kind of comes out of me, from being built into my memory. And I think it winds up coming out kind of dope. My philosophy is sort of like the saying "What goes up, must come down. The same applies to listening to all these artists, "What goes in, must come out".
How do you think you transformed what you have been hearing, into your own music and writing?
Honestly, when I'm writing songs, it's so super-natural. When I hear music, the song almost drops in my lap, so I don't really know. It's kind of like I said. My writing comes out whatever way it does. It just really feels super-natural, it feels like a gift. It just comes that easy sometimes, almost a little overwhelming.
How did you and producer Will Power, a.k.a. SupaHotBeats, meet and come together?
Well I had this ex-boyfriend that did some work with Will. However, my ex-boyfriend would never let me sing. When he went to jail, he finally told me to go find Will. I think at the time Will was in New York with Yelawolf. So, I just sat around and basically stalked Will until he got back (laughs). When he finally got back, I was sitting in the studio, waiting to meet with him. I remember he was working on another song with this other female R&B artist. I was kind of just sitting in the back and once the music came on, the lyrics came to me right away. It really was just one of those super-natural moments. Will heard me and turned around and was just like "Whaaat?" I kind of took over the studio session and since then we have been working together.
What was it like working with Yelawolf on the song "Speak Her Sex"?
Well a lot of people don't know that me and Wolf go back almost 10 years, so we are pretty good friends. We used to sell our music out of our trunks together in South Carolina, like at flee markets and Burger King. So, we definitely have a great working relationship. When I work with him, it's like working with family. He's like a big brother. We are both very serious about our music. He always pulls the best out of everyone, it's always great working with him.
What was it like knowing Yelawolf back then, before he began blowing up?
He's pretty much the same guy I knew back then. It's so weird because I can still see the same hunger in his eyes now that I saw back when we were selling CD's in flee markets. When you look at someone, you can just see it. We always tell each other, that we have to keep that attitude, that hunger. As long as we don't lose that, we're good to go. We have been doing this for so long, it's just that everyone is starting to recognize. So, yea, he's still cool. He's still the same Wolf.
What other songs are you featured on?
Yea, I have a record I did with Jackie Chain. I'm also on Wiz Khalifa's album "Rolling Papers" The song is called "Middle of You". I'm also featured on a couple of Tech 9's songs off his new album. I'm on the songs "Delusional" and "Promiseland". I got a couple more coming down the pipe, but you're going to have to wait for those!! (laughs)
What was it like working with Wiz Khalifa and Tech 9?
Well with Wiz, we did that on some "2000-shit". We just emailed each other our parts and they put it all together. It was still cool though. We did the song not knowing if it was going on the album. Originally it was just for his mixtape "Cabin Fever", but the fans really liked it and they picked it up for his album "Rolling Papers". So that was pretty cool. Working with Tech, now that was something amazing. We flew out to Kansas City. We did everything live. He played the record and told me about the concept he had for the song, but he basically left me alone so I could bring my own unique creativity to the song. I wrote one of the songs in like 20 minutes. The next time he flew to Atlanta. One of his artists, Chris Calico, wrote it. Tech just wanted my vocals on the song. Both times though, it was authentic and genuine. It was old school, almost like MoTown. Everyone was vibing in the studio and contributing to the record. It was just a lot of fun and a great experience.
Can you tell me a little about your album that is coming out soon?
It's called "SpeakHer". It's basically me talking about many different things. It's just like an introduction to who I am. There are all types of songs on there. There is the song "When I was High." There are also love songs on there. There's also a song on there called "Get in the Game". It's about going hard, about feeling ahead of my class. It's not conceded or self-centered, it's just meant to be a glimpse into who I am.
Is there a deeper meaning behind "When I Got High"
The words are "Life seemed so damn good when I was high". So that means life appeared to be better when I was high when I was going through tough times. You know, shit happens. I realized, masking those feelings by getting high is not the right thing to do. At the time, like my lyrics say, it appeared that life was actually good when it wasn't. I think it's a song a lot of people can relate to.
Were there a lot of different sounds incorporated into your album? Are there a lot of different type of tracks?
Oh my god! Yea. That's why I have to refer to my genre as "jammin". It's just all over the place. Will Power did most of the production on the album. I have pop, techno, dance. I also have some stuff on there that sounds like rap. I also have some old school R&B tracks where I'm just pourin' my heart out. It's fun and it's fresh. It's something for everyone. It's real sultry.
Who has been the most influential on your career thus far?
Will Power has been here since the beginning. He always tries to cultivate my sound and get me thinking outside the box. He pulls these things out of me. He is the one that pulled me away from just doing crunk sounding music. He was like, you have been living around the world. Why are you so caught up in doing only crunk music. You have been to Asia, you have lived in Italy. He really encouraged me to implement those sounds and experiences into my music as well. He is a producer in every sense of the word, he's like Berry Gordy and Quincy Jones. Will has done the same for Yelawolf. A lot of people don't know that he is also part Indian. When he first started he was on that Native American shit, hard. (laughs). Will was like, your living in Alabama dude, you have to try these sounds also. Will just builds confidence and keeps us thinking. He never lets us stay inside the box. You know, I was born a preachers kid and was very humble. He told me to be confident and that this musical ability is a gift. He said you have to be aware that what goes up, can come down, but be all that you are. Be confident. It's okay.
Before you go, anything your fans can look forward to soon?
Well, I mean, just stay tuned. Keep your ear to the radio for Nikkiya, cuz hot damn, it's coming!

Posted by GreysRcksMyWorld on Jan 8, 2013 in Blogger: GreysRcksMyWorld, Cristina Yang, Grey's Seasons, Kevin McKidd, Owen Hunt, Sandra Oh, Season 9, SPOILER ALERT | 14 comments
Hey Gabblers!
Have you seen the lastest sneak peek for Thursday's episode? Here's what Kevin McKidd has to say about the future of Crowen!
After two years of turbulent marriage, Owen and Cristina are at the crossroads, when his attorneys send over divorce papers — forcing the couple to make a final decision about their status as husband and wife — during Thursday's "Things We Said Today" episode.
"He's in a corner and he can't get out of it," McKidd recently told The Hollywood Reporter during a recent visit to the Hollywood set of the ABC drama. "It's Owen being honorable and doing the hero thing falling on his own sword to save everybody else but I don't think [Cristina and Owen] are done at all. They've done a lot of damage to each other over the years but they don't want [to divorce]; they love each other."
What do you think? Is Owen right in his assessment about their marriage?
Based on the last episode, it's clear that neither 1 of them want to sign the papers and that Owen is only doing it to help the survivors of the crash. Can they sign the papers and still work to get back to each other? I think so! I'm with Kevin McKidd, I'm holding onto the hope that I have!
xoxo !Rolling On! xoxo GreysRcksMyWorld
I have watched the sneak peek (I won't admit to just how many times) & I certainly remember the last episode when Cristina told Owen that she wanted to try again. I am sure there is more to the sneak peek scene than is shown & knowing everything that Owen said is totally true, I do believe he will be willing to try again. Plain & simple, he loves her just as much as she loves him. It was refreshing to see tears rolling down her face & seeing him teary-eyed discussing the divorce. He was very descriptive & I enjoyed hearing that. Often times the Grey's actors make me feel like they are just merely reciting lines they have memorized & there is no "feeling" put into it. Izzie & Callie are the only two characters that cry/cried with any conviction. I would like to see more of that from all the couples.
The first thing I am looking for is great dialogue with Cristina professing her love for Owen & when she fully realized that she really did love him – maybe a surprise to us will ensue. Before she left on the plane when she was having good-bye sex with him? At the crash site? When she lived in MN & was medically partnering with Dr. Thomas? Maybe some other time that we wouldn't think of? I would like for her to tell Owen the experience of living in MN & being with Dr. Thomas & learning what she did from him both professionally & personally & her time with Dr. Thomas was the push she needed to return to Seattle & come back to Owen & to apologize to him for all she has done to ruin their marriage & to ask for forgiveness & make that conversation the stepping off point to a possible reconciliation & living back at the firehouse. (I love that place – it really IS them!!!) Then it is Owen's turn – they both have destroyed their marriage.
The second thing they need to do is stop hopping into bed first – sounds kind of silly seeing that they are married & not that I don't want to see their hot sexy scenes either! They have that part of their relationship perfected. Just about any wall in & out of that hospital tells me so! lol! It is once they emerge from against the wall or out of bed that problems arise. They need to quietly sit & talk to each other – not at each other – but to each other just like they are doing in the sneak peek scene. How interesting that the tables are reversed & Cristina is trying to avail to Owen about taking a minute to think about it vs when Owen tried to avail to Cristina regarding the abortion. "Let's sit & discuss it" & we know how that ended. I still say that if they did as he asked, Owen would have agreed to the abortion even knowing what that meant to his dream of having kids at that point. All couples are not made the same, some have an easier time of it because they totally "listen" to what their partner is saying to them. Neither one of these people listen very well, so that really is the second thing they have in common!!! Maybe if they start to quietly sit & discuss matters, neither will have to resort to all the yelling, that would be a great start. Interesting that God gave all of us two ears & only one mouth!
Running around the mulberry bush is for kids … they both need to start being assertive (not to be confused with aggressive) & tell the other they need to talk & then the other person just listens & asks for clarification – just as Cristina did to tell Owen that she wanted to tell him originally that she wanted to try again – when she rephrased what she was trying to convey to him, he got it. It's as simple as that. People tend to make it harder than it really is or has to be. This is ALL my opinion, of course.
Happy New Year everyone! I am hoping that the second part of Grey's Anatomy is better than the first – cuz the first part of the season was pretty damned terrific!!!
the divoice isn't really dovice, hope Crowen won't sign the paper! it make me sad!
Please let it be over, this Crowen nonsense is getting so boring. I want Cristina to be with someone who accepts that she doesn't want a child.
It may be that Owen wants a divorce cos of the circumstances of his involvement in the plane crash. But KMK hints I feel are to reassure Crowen fans that even if the divorce happens, Crowen aren't over.
There are problems that they've continuously avoided talking about, and the sneak peak is brutal, but is based on some truth. Owen wanted that baby, and Cris didn't.
@jules, what do you think will happen now? They will "hang out"? But I feel so cheated because apparently they are saying "woops, getting married was a mistake", I regret marrying you". That's harsh, no matter what spin Shonda tries to put on it. I'm so sad!!!!!
@Laura.Regency, I fully agree … I've said this at a couple of other sites today … I'm all up for being honest but to tell the woman you married that they should never have, well that's pretty brutal. I am known for being upfront & honest but there still are times when words should be kept behind one's lips & this was one of those times. Maybe this was still all about the lawsuit, though it really didn't sound like it. What Owen said to Cristina was on a personal level. Let's hope that this was just a "plot twist" & they re-marry but I am thinking not – actually I do see them going their separate ways eventually, he still wants children. Who knows, a child somehow could entire his/their lives without her becoming pregnant at all – there is a plot twist right there!! lol!! And NOT to be picky, but when Cristina signed the divorce papers first, in my opinion, she should have handed the pen directly to Owen, not set it down on top of the papers. Sorry, it sounds picky … after all of the ups & downs throughout the show, they waited til close to the end of the show for them to sign the papers, deflated my enthusiasm for the entire episode, even though it really was a great one. Roller coaster of emotions for sure. And I'm not sure of the Alex/Jo pairing, I don't see her at all with Alex, I'm thinking more Leah but that's just me.
@bearsfan, Yes. Heartbroken is the word that defines my state right now!
@Laura.Regency,I think they'll just be together, but not be married, and probably having their own places. They can't divorce and then get together immediately again. Perhaps Owen will adopt a child on his own? If he really wants a family maybe he'd do that? I'm not sure. But I hope Cris doesn't have a sudden urge to have a baby, it wouldn't ring true to her character
This is Shonda re-writing history though.
Is it a wedding that destroyed everything? It means that when we were so smitten with their simple beautiful wedding, we were just fools?
I get that the plot twist needed to see them divorced, but they accepted their marriage as something wrong, that was not supposed to happen.
They were not in a box, it's not because of that that they tore each other apart. Like when Burke left, Shonda made us believe that he really didn't love her in the first place, but for the 3 season previous to that we shipped them because they were the real thing.
What does this mean now? That they will go from "married" to "dating"? Maybe not even be exclusive so he can screw around and knock up some other chick?
Mark my words, 50 says that Shonda will send away KMK after season 9. OWEN IS GOING BACK TO THE ARMY. And die in the war or something.
@Laura.Regency, It is possible that the show will go until the 10th season & maybe Kevin McKidd is on the last year of his contract, who knows? Also, to NOT be picky again but I'm going to be – Callie, Arizona & Meredith had beautiful dresses on – the color Arizona had on was no where near the color of the other two but I can deal with that – what I found very distracting was the color lipstick she was wearing with that wine-colored dress – it overpowered her very beautiful face, skin & hair color. If they can't really come close to a match, when I really doubt, she should have worn a light lipgloss. All the dresses were gorgeous though. Everyone needs to watch the color red – sometimes it can be way too much. They are all beautiful women, no need for all that & more!!!
Now back to Owen & Cristina ….
@bearsfan, I thought the same thing about Cristina's lipstick before it got all smudged by the heated Crowen's make-up/make-out. TOO hot pink! So not her. And it was really unflattering, it seemed almost clown-like Then of course once they were done making up Cristina looks all fresh faced with no trace of that trashy make-up. well, isn't Shondaland the best make-up remover?
I also noted something clumsy and "wrong" in Cristina's posture when she just closed the door o.O Great dress, she's beautiful…AMAZING LEGS… but those shoulders looked so stiff and unconfortable..Am I the only one that thinks so?

DETROIT (WKZO) – Echoes of boos greeted Predator defenseman Shea Weber to start Game 4 at Joe Louis Arena Tuesday. By the end of the game, those boos were directed at the home team, who dropped a second straight playoff game to Nashville, 3-1. The Wings now trail in the best-of-seven series 3 games to 1.
The Red Wings started the game with energy and physicality. Those were the two keys missing from Sunday's loss in Game 3. They controlled the puck, firing 8 of the game's first 9 shots. The teams played two scoreless periods of hockey, with Detroit taking the decided edge in shots-on-goal by a 28-10 margin through 40 minutes of play.
Nashville broke the tie 1:55 into the final frame on Gabriel Bourque's third score of the playoffs. The Wings answered right back on their lone successful power play of the night. Jiri Hudler lit the lamp for the first time this postseason. The Wings would take 12 more shots in the period, but couldn't break Pekka Rinne, who finished with 40 saves in the win. Jimmy Howard finished with 14 saves.
Friday is do-or-die time for the Wings as the series shifts back to Nashville for Game 5. If necessary, Game 6 will be in Detroit on Sunday.

Driven by tough slide guitar and Ben Miller's tougher voice, the call-and-response gospel blues of "Get Right Church" just might make a believer out of the most hardened skeptic.
With a sweet and rowdy and heartfelt approach to gospel and rock 'n' roll, Charleston, South Carolina band Shovels & Rope return this summer with a new album and a strong first single, "The Devil Is All Around."
"The Coming Tide" by Luke Winslow-King offers a warning of a threatening storm, both spiritual and natural, but also a promise of shelter, in the swinging sound of pre-war jazz, blues and gospel music.
The past several years of medical set backs kept her from the public eye, then came the word: Fontella Bass, St. Louis' leading woman of song for the past half-century, died the day after Christmas. She was 72 years of age.
The Lee Boys is a family band on a mission to bring sacred steel to the masses.
If you've ever listened to legendary 88.1 KDHX DJ Gabriel, you know all about the holy blues. If you've ever listened to Holly Golightly and the Brokeoffs, the "Goddamn Holy Roll" blues will be just as familiar.
The mystery of Iris DeMent's "Sing the Delta" isn't why it took some 16 years to appear. No, the mystery is that songs so purely honest and purely beautiful could still be made at all.
Gospel music has always been central to the fiercely-original blues of Kelly Joe Phelps. "Brother Sinner & the Whale," however, is his most spiritual album yet.
Last night, fans found refuge from the rain and had their spirits lifted by the Blind Boys of Alabama's moving performance.
Tuesday night the Old Rock House hosted a seated show which featured the Blind Boys of Alabama.

Lions Draft Process, Luther EllissJanuary 21, 2010 on 7:11 pm | In Uncategorized | No Comments
Recently, "Killer Kowalski", in his responses to MLive.com reader's questions, made one of the most concise (and scathing) assessments of the Lions past draft room escapades, which if they are true, reinforce the perceptions that the Matt Millen-regime was truly a rudderless ship.
Entering last season's draft, many Lions fans demanded a complete overhaul of the scouting department, since it's success-to-failure rate in the draft was so low. Here are some thoughts by Kowalski:
First, Mayhew has a hands-on approach to the draft. This year, he said he traveled to eight or nine schools during the regular season to scout players – a severe departure from the previous regime. There is a lot more interaction between the personnel heads and the scouts – and the coaching staff. What's the purpose of drafting a player the coaches don't like – and won't play? Perhaps the biggest difference is the preparation in the final weeks. The Lions have added an extra step to what Millen did. Once the work is done and the draft board is complete, they go over it again. They watch more film and argue amongst themselves about the rankings. Mayhew and Schwartz, just the two of them, get together and review film for countless hours.
Hmm…I guess it is too late to question the comparative lack of preparation, but one begs to ask, wouldn't the team's draft results signal to Matt Millen and his staffers that their draft process needed to be altered considerably? Does the division of responsibilities between Tom Lewand and Martin Mayhew allow Mayhew to take a "more hands-on" approach than Millen ever had the luxury of, while he was team president?
Mayhew said the arguments are all made in the days leading up to the draft so when the Lions are on the clock, they know exactly who they're going to take. I've often recounted the Brian Calhoun story, about how the Lions were debating about whether to take an offensive lineman at that spot in the third round. The argument was whether the Lions would be "reaching" for him at that spot. They went back and forth without resolution and then, as the clock was about to expire, a coach yelled "Take Brian Calhoun." And that's what they did.
The Brian Calhoun selection was particularly befuddling, since the Lions had so many other needs at that time, and his draft stock was not particularly high. Between Calhoun, whom the Lions likely envisioned as poor man's Marshall Faulk, and Drew Stanton, it is clear that Mike Martz's presence factored heavily into the Lions thinking, even if Martz wasn't explicitly excited about either player, or their respective futures.
Kowalski continues:
That situation won't happen with Mayhew running the show. If you're wondering why the Lions don't announce their pick immediately, it's because they're still waiting for the phone to ring to see if they get an offer they like. Mayhew admitted that when the Lions moved too quickly, they've later received a call for a deal they would've considered. That's why they wait.
Mayhew's acumen for deal-making is unquestioned, even if overall, most of the deals that he made have went south on him this past season. That being said, I will concede that in most of the trades that Mayhew made, the Lions were better off than they were prior to the trade being made.
In regards to the draft, Mayhew and his team of scouts, at this early juncture, appear to have done as a high a quality of a job as any Lions staff during recent memory, certainly in the last twenty years.
It's not that the Lions' scouts are perfect, they're not. They make their fair share of mistakes but the reason I didn't think they should get broomed last year is because of the things I'd heard about the league. The Lions' scouts had a pretty good reputation with other NFL personnel directors and many of those guys were around in the pre-Millen days when the Lions actually drafted pretty well.
Oh, and that offensive lineman they were debating about? It was Max Jean-Gilles, who is now a starter with the Philadelphia Eagles. Interestingly, the Lions were both right and wrong in their debate about Jean-Gilles. The Lions were on pick No. 74 when they discussed him and he didn't go until the 99th overall choice so they would've been reaching for him.
However, Calhoun gave the Lions absolutely nothing while Jean-Gilles, who started just one game in his first two seasons, has been a starter at right guard in 15 games over the past two years for the Eagles.
Hey, Lions Fans, I Presume You Like
Cream Pie?
These final comments from Kowalski are the most bitter and painful. In most cases, for every botched Millen pick, there is a clear cut, alternate choice who has enjoyed a successful career, effectively rubbing the noses of the Lions fans directly into the "mess" Matt Millen left on William Clay Ford's rug(Silverdome/Ford Field).
Conveniently, WR Charles Rogers could have been just as easily, and clearly more wisely, perennial Pro Bowl WR Andre Johnson, or even CB Terrence Newman or DT Kevin Williams. WR Mike Williams was followed by OT Jammal Brown, and a pair of LB/DE's in DeMarcus Ware and Shawne Merriman in the first round of the 2005 draft.
QB Joey Harrington should have been OT Bryant McKinnie, DE Dwight Freeney, DE/LB Terrell Suggs, or DT Albert Haynesworth. Good, but not great, trade chip WR Roy Williams could have been CB Dunta Robinson, QB Big Ben Roethlisberger, or RB Steven Jackson
Many Lions fans would gladly trade increasingly disgruntled, but sublimely talented WR Calvin Johnson for OT Joe Thomas or RB Adrian Peterson, even with his propensity for fumble-itis. OT Gosder Cherilus could have been OT Jeff Otah, QB Joe Flacco, or RB Chris Johnson
I will steadfastly remind people that the Lions could have selected OT Michael Oher, game-changing WR Percy Harvin or DE/LB Clay Matthews, with the pick which they utilized to select TE Brandon Pettigrew. Admittedly, Pettigrew showed a great deal of promise prior to his injury, and he was even selected to the NFL all-rookie team. That being said, you will never convince me that the Lions needed Pettigrew over the addition of a player like Oher, or Harvin, who as a slot companion to Johnson and explosive kick returner, would fill a clear roster void.
Obviously, the benefit of hindsight being 20/20 factors heavily, and several of the defensive players would have been ill-suited for the various defensive schemes at the time of their respective draft selections (Ware, Merriman, Suggs, Matthews).
Still, just analyzing only the Lions first round selections (Oh my, looking at the second round would be an absolute torture and would send me reeling in dejected misery!) it is clear to see why the Lions have only three victories in their last 40 games, a jaw-dropping reality, in itself.
Speaking of jaw-dropping, former stalwart, fan favorite DT Luther Elliss has hit some rocky roads in his personal life recently. From MLive.com:
Retired Detroit Lions defensive lineman Luther Elliss is preparing to abandon his million-dollar suburban Detroit home, the latest in a financial collapse that has forced him to file bankruptcy amid a string of failed investments and debt.
Elliss, 36, who was paid almost $11.6 million from 2000-04, is relying on area churches and friends to pay bills, his savings depleted. He lost one home in Utah to foreclosure and the married father of 11 plans on walking away from his Oakland Township home due to lack of income and high mortgage payments.
"We can't afford it," Elliss told The Detroit News for a story published Tuesday.
Regardless of the mistakes Elliss may have made, you hate to see this scenario play out, whether the person has been fortunate in the past, like Elliss, or not.
Here are Elliss' statements about his unfortunate situation:
"My faith has helped carry us through this," Elliss said. "If my story can help change somebody's destiny or future, I pray that it does."
Elliss and his wife filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy in June, one month after the U.S. Bank National Association won a $524,058 civil judgment against them tied to the Utah foreclosure.
"That was the tipping point," Elliss said.
Here's hoping that someone who was a enthusiastic and charitable person as a Lions player finds good fortune around the corner, even if it is impossible for him to ever reclaim his vast wealth.
