On March 3, 2008 The CW announced that One Tree Hill will be renewed for a sixth season. The new season started airing on September 1, 2008 on Mondays at 9/8c following Gossip Girl. Although season 5 is currently still airing, E4 (the UK broadcaster of One Tree Hill) has confirmed that Season 6 will be shown on their channel but not until early 2009. In the season premiere on September 1, 2008 it is revealed that Lucas called and asked Peyton to come to the airport and go to Las Vegas with him to get married. Finding the Las Vegas wedding idea to be too tacky, Lucas and Peyton leave and Peyton brings him back to the hotel room where Lucas had originally proposed years before. He proposes to her again and she accepts before he can officially ask. They move in together. |
Mouth accepts the job in Omaha and leaves together with Millicent. |
Nathan becomes more peeved with his mother over her online relationship, who we know is in fact with Skills, as their relationship becomes more serious, even after Jamie sees them kiss. Dan, who was badly wounded in the Season 5 finale after being hit by a car, was transported to the hospital as a John Doe and brought back to stable condition. Nanny Carrie, having returned to Tree Hill, is the one who hit Dan with her car. She is keeping him locked inside a room in her house, torturing him through lack of morphine, etc, as revenge for keeping her away from Jamie, who she has vowed to get back. Her plan is to kill Dan and convince everyone he is the one who will abduct Jamie, but since Dan is dead without a new heart anyway, she furiously discovers her plan will not work. Dan tries to escape and stumbles upon Nanny Carrie's son's grave. |
Brooke's mother is trying to take her company from her, which legally she may be able to do. Brooke becomes infuriated and decides to take on her mother in the court system. Brooke has locked all the sketches for her new designs in her drawer, but upon trying to leave the store, she is attacked by a masked figure and is badly beaten, something she hides from everyone but Deb. |
Around the same time, Quentin Fields, who has been key in Nathan's basketball comeback and has begun to bond more with all the major characters as a player and student with potential, is shot and killed. He enters a gas station and attempts to pay, but upon glancing past the man standing at the cash register, sees a bloodied man dead on the ground. He realizes that the man at the cash register has just killed the man on the ground, who is probably the cashier, and becomes frightened. The killer raises his gun, and the scene cuts to Brooke learning to shoot a gun with Deb in a shooting range. The scene cuts again to Lucas and Peyton lying in bed. Lucas receives a phone call, and it is confirmed that Quentin was killed. |
Because of Quentin's death, a depressing period ensues. Brooke breaks down and throws her Clothes over Bros clothing line out the front door of her store, Peyton sees this as she is walking by and wrestles the clothing away from a couple women. Brooke asked Peyton for her house key back for the reason that she needed to feel safe in her home, only to return it later. Quentin's death hits Nathan and Haley hard and it makes it extremely difficult to talk to their son Jamie about what had happened, because Jamie was so close to Quentin. Dan continues to be tortured by Carrie, and tries to escape. After he gets out the door, he stumbles and falls in front of a grave. Carrie reveals that it is the grave of her son. Dan attempts to use her son to get closer to her. As everyone is getting ready for Quentin's funeral, Nathan goes to Brooke's house, knowing something else was wrong. He tells her that he understands what she is going through and she should keep going because she has so much ahead of her. At the funeral, Jamie walks up to Quentin's casket with a box in his hands that has the red cape he was making for him in it. Brooke walks over to stand next to him as he takes it out of the box and lays it across the casket. Brooke begins to cry as Jamie takes her hand. |

Yesterday we said goodbye to the darkest Stargate ever made. But now it's time to wipe away the tears, and remember the laughs. Here they are, the funniest moments from Stargate: SG-1, Stargate: Atlantis and Stargate Universe! |
One of the best things we'll miss the most about Stargate was its ability to make us laugh. Even Stargate Universe was able to lighten the mood here and there. You could argue that Adam Brody and Dale Volker's witty banter humanized the crew and allowed us to feel even more for those space misfits. |
So here are the best laughs from the entire Stargate television series. And yes, we're sure we missed something along the way (Stargate was around for a while) so PLEASE add your favorites in the comments. |
SGU "Twin Destinies" Redundancy |
Here's a classic Volker and Brody "laughing in the face of death" moment. We wish these two guys would get a spin-off. Alas, with the way SGU ended, that seems less and less like a possibility. What about "The Brody and Volker Missing Kino Files?" |
SG-1 "200" Teen Stargate |
Martin Lloyd (Willie Garson) comes courting with this movie version of "Wormhole X-Treme" (a hilarious and very self-aware SG-1 moment). While pitching the crew, he mentions that they thought about doing an all teen version, this is what Colonel Mitchell and crew imagine. It's also pretty hilarious because this video basically became the anti-SGU rallying cry when people found out Syfy was going younger and edgier. Thankfully things turned out pretty different — but the pregnancy gag kind of rings true. |
Also, look it's Finn from Glee! |
SG-1 "Family Ties" Teal'c Takes In A Show |
Easy gag? You bet. A little condescending to the ladies? Perhaps. But we still love the idea of Teal'c unknowingly attending a Vagina Monologue. |
SG-1 "1969" That's Captain Kirk To You |
Jack O'Neill is sent back in time to screw with your pop culture. What, like you wouldn't? |
SGU "Hope" Numa Numa |
Brody tries to put Volker at ease before a dangerous kidney transplant, he fails, and only becomes more enshrined in our hearts. |
SG-1 "Holiday" |
Teal'c and O'Neill switch bodies. |
SGA - Steve The Wraith |
SGA - "Duet" Big Kiss |
A female marine officer is trapped inside Dr. McKay's body. McKay's face, after the big kiss with Dr. Carson Beckett says it all. |
SGA "Phantoms" — I'm sorry for shooting everyone! |
SGU "Seizure" Classic McKay |
McKay cameos on the Destiny and picks up the pace on deck. Lots of laughs and an overall faster-moving episode. |
SGA "Hide And Seek" |
"I'm invulnerable!" |
SGU "The Greater Good" Yay New Friends! |
SGA "Sateda" |
McKay is shot with an arrow (come to think of it, there's lots of funny getting shot, or shot at jokes in SGA). |
SG -1 The Entire Episode, "Window Of Opportunity" |
Possibly the funniest episode in the whole of the Stargate franchise. Teal'c and O'Neill are stuck in a time loop, we all win. Via Youtube user Xenomorph494 |
Thanks for the laughs, Stargate! |

Good News for Cleveland and RTA! |
Transit is Changing Look of the American Dream |
"In Minneapolis and cities across the nation, public transit and the development it attracts are contributing to a growing appetite for housing in urban areas. Population groups that now have the deepest preference for housing very close to transit are precisely the populations that will grow exponentially in the next decades. They include older Americans, who will constitute 35 percent of our population by 2025; immigrant families, who will account for almost one-third of population growth; and the nearly 70 percent of households that will not include children." |
Gee, we've already got the rail, running east and west across the city, woefully underused, largely because it doesn't go anywhere. Think about it, where can you go via the red, blue, or green lines? TowerCity, ShakerSquare, the southern edge of UniversityCircle, the inner harbor, and the Airport. All interesting places, sure, but what about the other 44 other stops? |
Why is ridership low enough to justify only one car running during peak hours? |
1. Because parking is cheap? |
2. Because there is little residential density near most stops? |
3. Because Clevelanders love their cars and hate public transit? |
I'm going with numero dos. |
Take a ride heading east on the redline from TowerCity and let me know what you see between dwntwn and universitycircle. |

Diners Part 2, or, My Life As A Diner Waitress |
Food service came naturally to me. Background in an esoteric liberal arts major? Check. Love of food? Check. Desire to help people? Check. Ability to multitask? Check. It was September after my graduation from college, and my deadline for being removed from the family teat loomed. A friend took me to the diner. |
I started my training the next day. |
It wasn't too far off from the scenes in Mildred Pierce in which she learned how to order: "two bugs on a raft!" or whatever. In the case of my diner, there was a system in which ingredients were asssigned numeric values. For the kitchen, it went like this: |
1. Swiss cheese |
2. American |
3. Ham |
6. Tuna |
If you put parens around your ingredients when writing down your order, it meant something was grilled. No parens meant cold. |
23/ Mac = Ham and cheese sandwich with a side of mac |
(23)/ Pot = Grilled ham and cheese with a side of potato salad. |
Drinks were also numbered. 33 was Coke, 44 was root beer. 1 was milk, and J was coffee (Joe is slang for coffee). |
The head waitress was a woman named Grace, who ran a really tight ship. She'd worked at the restaurant for over 30 years by the time she and I were acquainted. She wore her hair in an Ann Miller style bouffant flip and she'd regale us with the stories of working at the diner in the 1940's when the restaurant was a more formal place in a more formal time. Ladies wore gloves and the waitress uniform included platform shoes. |
When I worked there, however, the diner was in transition, as was that part of the city. It was frequented by many elderly people, some of whom had been dining there since the days when Grace wore platform shoes. After school we served kids from the high school. In the afternoons and evenings we served a lot of college students, including the library students who I idolized. We also served a lot of street people. We turned nobody away. This had its upside and its downside. I felt like this was the right thing to do, but if anything ever went wrong on one of those crazy night shifts nobody backed us up. On the odd occasion when a guy was being chased through the restaurant by another guy with a gun, Jimmy the cashier would pretend he didn't see anything. |
The waitresses who raised me, Grace, Margene, Lulu and the young one whose name I can't recall (!) were a resilient bunch of characters, all with their own charms. Lulu was the most timid, had a sweet voice and had been a dancer. She wore her hair in a bouffant and was round but light on her feet. Margene talked like a truck driver, and out of the side of her mouth. My two favorite Margene-isms are "You make a better door than you do a window" (when you were blocking her view) or "I'll give you a nickel if you do x." The nickel was not actually forthcoming, but I'd do the task anyway. The young kid was a hard-working single mother who lived in worry that her own child would be pregnant at sixteen, and she was. That lady could scold with a look that brought me searing shame without her saying a word. But usually there were words too and I'd be reduced to tears for affronts such as taking her toast by mistake. Only now do I fully understand that every piece of toast got her closer to providing for her family, and that's why she was occasionally so harsh. |
Enough for now. On another day I'll go into more depth on the customers, and why it is that when I go to the Greek Festival I look for the boss' name in the departed benefactors' wall and finger the letters, happy that he's gone. |

Periodic Limb Movements of Sleep (PLMS) |
Periodic limb movements in sleep are repetitive movements, occurring most typically in the lower limbs, about every 20-40 seconds. Characteristics of PLMS, can include brief muscle twitches, jerking movements or an upward flexing of the feet. These episodes may last anywhere from a few minutes to several hours. Many times, a person with PLMS may not even realize they are moving their limbs during sleep until it is brought to their attention by their mate. PLMS is not considered medically serious, however in some cases it may be a secondary indicator of other medical conditions such as kidney disease, diabetes, or anemia. This condition can also contribute to chronic insomnia and/or daytime fatigue due to awakenings during the night. The exact cause of PLMS is not clear, but there are treatment options and support groups that can help. If lack of sleep is affecting your life, you may benefit from a diagnostic sleep study. Consult your physician, or call to make an appointment with the North Cypress Sleep Center for diagnostic and treatment options 832-912-3700. american-academy-of-sleep-medicine |
