In The Odd Couple episode "Odd Man Out," Felix (Thomas Lennon) encourages his roommate Oscar (Matthew Perry) and his girlfriend Emily (Lindsay Sloane) to go on a "date." He wants them to get to know each other better. But it gets awkward at the restaurant.
The waiter at the restaurant is portrayed by Alex Ball. He's known for his roles on Brooklyn Nine-Nine (Chad), Ray Donovan (Dr. Mendelowitz), and The Young and the Restless (Reverend Campbell), among others. Ball has played a waiter on many TV shows including Gilmore Girls, Unhitched, and The Big Bang Theory (twice). The Odd Couple airs Thursdays at 8:30pm on CBS.

Beliefs, opinions and experiences all teach us about love. Some are very definitive and describe love in the "commercially" absolute way – between two people, preferably man and woman, period. But as you've no doubt come to realize, love has many faces and comes calling in miraculous ways: through a child, a pet, a friend, a sister, a riverbank, a starry night, a dream… When you cast your soul into the expanse of the universe, it brings you such expressions of love…Continue

With global events overwhelming us, our faculties are shouting out, "Enough, enough," as if any one of us could stop this relentless surge of human tragedy. But hold on for a moment and breathe deeply while your soul has a chance to say, "If ever there was a time to be kind it is now. Be kind to one another. Be kind to yourself."

This week I've had the eye-opening experience of watching someone lose an opportunity because their ego has blinded them. The focus on fear of losing instead of collaborating, of owning rather than sharing, of emphasizing "me" instead of "us" has literally caused a non-event. All was aligned and ego got in the way – big time.
To your happiness,

Don't you just love it when you happen to be thinking of someone whom you haven't seen for a while, and lo and behold, there they are rounding the corner coming directly toward you? What makes it even sweeter is the fact that they're just as delighted to see you as you are them. It's as if there's a conspiracy to make sure you two connect exactly in that moment. The universe is magic, isn't it?

I am so loving this day even though I don't get to spend it at home playing all day, I am spending it with my family! It is one of my few Saturdays off from work and I am loving it! We made a trip to the LSS to retrieve the supplies to work on some of the upcoming swaps that I have joined. And if you haven't tried them yet, I sooo recommed the new scissors by Tim Holtz.... better than CutterBees! Seriously, y'all should try 'em!First off, a while back I was asked to make a Library Card for the first time.... Say What... That's what I was thinking too!! Here is what I came up with and THANKFULLY it was correct!! I didn't think it was too bad for a first attempt! There is a tag inside the library card for journaling!!
(Materials Used: Blue and Green cardstock, American Crafts Ribbon (light blue with white stars), anmial crackers paper, and Making Memories metal embellishment)
Now, for my card for world card making day! I had wanted to finish the layout or sample card for the October Card Swap I am in, but - I goofed and ended up making this out of scraps!

Medes Nust
Actually I really only needed the foot, as I have a pile of cavalry that'll pass muster, more or less.
The only early period plastic Persians that fit with my existing figures are those from Zvezda (I already have the cavalry and chariots).
The Zvezda figures seem to be out of production, but I picked up half a dozen boxes of the Italeri run, so job's a good 'un.
I've still got a few (er, I mean LOADS) of my Assyrians to finish so they can double as Babylonians but I only need a couple of units to make up a basic AMW Median army. So that's what I've just finished.
I've done one unit of spears men and one of archers, each with a rank kneeling and standing. I can then mix and match to get combined units as well.
The figures are nicely sculpted, but the plastic doesn't take super glue as well as the Hat equivalent. They're also not as wargamer friendly. It is tough getting the standing spears men four to a standard 60mm base. Hopefully the other poses will be a bit better. The kneelers were okay.
I like the mix of kneeling spears and bows, as in this picture.
The archers look the business.
As you can see when you put the standing spears men in the front rank they look a little...higgledy-piggledy. Lesson there for the next batch.
Plus, easier to paint both figure and shield before you glue them together.

Nice Persians, the photos are a little grainy though, but I like what you did with them. I will definately use my persians, once I get the boatloads of them painted, against my assyrians too.ReplyDeleteReplies
The pictures are shot using a digital macro on my compact camera, - hence the graininess, even tho' it is a 10mp camera. I should really use my SLR with the extension rings but I'm a bit lazy sometimes.Delete

It's simple Tim. Just be out of work. Loads gets painted. You're the third person to nominate me for this award, so thank you. I really must get round to the obligatory post before all the blogs I read get nominated ahead of me doing so.Delete
Excellent work, these troops are really impressive with their shields!ReplyDeleteReplies
The shields are good top paint. The definition on them is good without being too deeply etched. They're done in a light brown, almost khaki, colour, overwashed with GW's "Flesh Wash" ink. Then the detail is picked out on the top before the final coat of Ronseal antique pine varnish.Delete

BOSTON – In an ongoing effort to assist with the relocation and rehabilitation of Stearns Tavern in the City of Worcester, Senator Michael O. Moore (D-Millbury) and Senate Majority Leader Harriette L. Chandler (D-Worcester) announced that $463,665 was included within an omnibus economic development bond bill to help bring the project to fruition.
Stearns Tavern, which is located off of Park Avenue, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is one of the oldest structures in the City. Last year, the Historical Commission and Preservation Worcester approved the relocation of the building to Mill Street at the site of the former Coes Knife factory. The decision for relocation was made to avoid demolition of the structure by the current property owner.
"This project represents a unified effort by local, state and federal partners to preserve a historic treasure in the City of Worcester," said Senator Moore. "I am proud to have advocated for this funding and appreciate all of the hard work devoted to achieving this very positive result. Like many others in the community, I am looking forward to the project's completion."
"I am very pleased that the Senate passed such a substantial capital investment in the Stearns Tavern project," said Senator Chandler. "It is a significant investment for Worcester and I really look forward to seeing how Stearns Tavern provides opportunities for individuals in conjunction with the Seven Hills Foundation."
If approved for release by the Administration, the state funding will compliment federal Community Development Block Grant funds allocated for the project. Anticipated use of the building will include a variety of functions including a café operated by the Seven Hills Foundation.
The legislation will now go before a Conference Committee comprised of six legislators to resolve differences between versions of the bill passed by the Senate and House of Representatives.

I've had autism since I was three years old and I've always struggled to accept it. I can be sociable at times but its really hard to keep up, particularly when I have a bad night's sleep, which is common due to my insomnia. I'm so paranoid of saying or doing the wrong thing that would make me look like a fool. I have always been surrounded by people who have been unkind and inconsiderate and because of it, both my friends and family have made fun of me.
My parents have forced me to speak to people about it and have talked about my autism without my consent. They've always forced me to do things that I don't feel comfortable doing like learning to drive or swim. No matter where I go, I feel like the idiot in the room. I'm really clumsy and every time I make a small error, my parents yell at me. I have really low self esteem and mental health problems due to this. I'm a university student now so I don't live with them anymore, but I feel forced to go back home or talk to them. I don't even know if I can handle going home for Christmas. I don't know if being alone during the holidays would be better?
Does anyone get like this? And does anyone have any advice on how to cope?
Well.... I can emphasise with you because I had similar problems. My family was mad.
The only good advice I can give you is to meet new people who don't have preconceived opinions about you and start fresh friendships and relationships. Families don't change. Often their prejudice is fixed and won't go away.
When I first went to university and came home at weekends the situation was insane. My mother was angry that I had left the house, she wanted me to stay at home all day, don't work, don't study, don't travel. Just stay at home! My father was either completely ignoring me and pretending that I didn't exist, or shouting abuse and ridiculing me for anything. Such as watching tv. Or even speaking.
I also grew up in a negative environment and dreaded going home for Christmas, so much so I went home late Christmas eve and came back boxing day morning. Christmas became so much better when I didn't go home as instead of being thrust into an abusive environment I was able to use those days to be on my own and relax.
It sounds like you have a lot of insight into the challenges you face, which means there's lots you can do to live a more fulfilling life. For example, lots of universities have a wealth of resources to help improve your self-esteem and overall confidence. It may be beneficial to speak to a university counsellor about this. You could also seek mentoring support from the careers service to explore what your strengths are and how you can sell these when you're looking for graduate employment.
To reduce the negative thought patterns my parents gave me I've followed the advice in the Chimp Paradox - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Chimp-Paradox-Acclaimed-Management-Confidence/dp/B006WCJ9OS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1512024267&sr=8-1&keywords=chimp+paradox
I also use my PIP money to pay for someone high up in my field to explain the rules that I intrinsically do not know and to support me with developing strategies for handling situations. This has helped immensely.
Good luck with Christmas, whatever you decide. Remeber its ok to occasionally put your own needs ahead of your family's needs.
Oooooo.....i'm Going to have a look at the Chimp Paradox.
i was considering reading this....
Lol x
One thing that age and experience will teach is just how cruel people can be at times. Sadly family can sometimes fall into this category.
Being at university is an opportunity for you to identify with yourself more and understand and address your needs. As mentioned already, the student counselor will be able to help and were invaluable to me when I was at university. You also get to see how nice and welcoming people can be outside of the home bubble as well, which is all good for developing your own social circles and groups who share your interests.
Family often don't change - they may calm down with age, but not always guaranteed. The driving and swimming could be them trying to push you to develop your skills, it could be that they just don't see how this impacts on you. I can sympathise on the clumsy aspect and being yelled at as a result. I would often accidentally break things due to my clumsiness and would be screamed at by my parents. All this does is heighten your anxiety and destroy your confidence. I don't know what your relationship is like with your parents, but I am only now just starting to address my parents over some of their behaviours and past situations to try and get them to see things in a different light. Albeit I won't be able to do this with everything, but they are still in denial of my diagnosis and struggles, so I felt it was time to try and get them to see it from my perspective rather than just burying their heads in the sand.
You know your parents well enough to know what you can and can't approach them about. You are an adult now and if you feel that you can't tolerate Christmas with them, you have the right to decline or, could you stop with someone else locally, so you can keep your time there as short as possible? It also means if you need to get away, there is somewhere local you can return to.
I agree with much that Starbuck has said. Just to add that being at university is an opportunity to reinvent yourself and start fresh.
Autism is a behavioural disability or difference( if we are being tactful). The trick is to adapt one's behaviour to the circumstances and the people around you. This can be very difficult for autistics.
What behaviour patterns are normal at home can be seen as absurd elsewhere. And acceptable behaviour in places such as uni can be considered £@£#@*** at home. I speak from experience.

Avengers: Infinity War Adds Kong Actor As Thanos' 'Right-Hand Bad Guy'
Terry Notary, whose motion-capture work in "Kong: Skull Island" brings the giant ape to life, has been cast alongside Josh Brolin's Thanos in "Avengers: Infinity War."
RELATED: "Thor: Ragnarok" Will Set Up "Avengers: Infinity War"
"I'm working on four characters right now. I'm working with Josh Brolin and three other actors," he told The Hollywood Reporter, "and I'm playing Josh Brolin's right-hand bad guy in the film. I can't say the name of the character or I think Marvel will sever my head, but I apply those same principles of what it means to drop bullshit and just play a character truly evil. And it's working. It's truly working."
While Notary declined to list his specific role, IMDb.com lists him as "Cul Obsidian/Groot." While that should be taken with a grain of salt, given Notary's reference to "Brolin and three other actors," it's possible he's playing a member of a reduced version of the Cull Obsidian, or Black Order. In Marvel Comics lore, the Cull Obsidian is a team of five generals sent by Thanos to subjugate Earth during 2013's "Infinity" event.
RELATED: "Avengers: Infinity War" May Be the Most Expensive Movie Ever Made
In a 2013 interview with CBR, Marvel Executive Editor Tom Brevoort described the members of the Black Order as "existin[ing] on a galactic scale." "They're not necessarily Titans like Thanos, but they are beings of the cosmos who walk in the same circles as Thanos," he said. "They're unto like demigods. They're just as sturdy and undamageable and knowledgable as guardians. These aren't normal aliens, these aren't basic Skrulls or Kree or average Shi'ar. These guys are levels that are one-up from that."
Given Notary's past motion-capture work, which includes his "Kong: Skull Island" role, a goblin in "The Hobbit" films, and Rocket in "Rise of the Planet of the Apes," it's likely his Marvel Studios role will also be motion-capture.
Directed by Anthony Russo and Joe Russo, "Avengers: Infinity War" arrives in theaters on May 4, 2018. It stars an ensemble cast that includes Robert Downey Jr., Mark Ruffalo, Chris Pratt, Jeremy Renner, Benedict Cumberbatch, Brie Larson, Josh Brolin, Karen Gillan, Zoe Saldana, Tom Holland and Pom Klementieff.

They gather to socialize, to strut, to roar across empty streets in powerful cars. But when something goes wrong, the party quickly ends, spectators flee, and the victims of street racing, like Emily Lawrence, are left dying.
The April phone call, punctuated by sobs, lasted from midnight until 4 a.m.
On one end - Juanacha Lawrence, 38, sat doubled-over, taking long drags from a cigarette, crying, waiting in vain for the sleeping pill to kick in, asking, "Why? Why my daughter?"
On the other, down in Mississippi - Annie Moak, a sweetly southern-twanged grandmother, huddled in a closet so she wouldn't wake her husband and promised to pray until someone paid for what had happened to 18-year-old Emily.
Annie didn't realize how long or how hard she would have to pray.
Most nights, Juanacha (pronounced WAN-uh-ka) sat up alone, downing Diet Cokes and scouring the Internet for victims like her daughter. She researched dozens of Web sites belonging to the people she considered responsible for these tragedies.
Friends told her to stop, but Juanacha couldn't.
"I'm looking for remorse," she told them. "I'm looking for the guilt they must feel when things like this happen. But I can't find it." MARCH 12: THE WRECK
Nikki Jones jumped when she heardthe crash.
Turning, she saw that a black Mustang had slammed backward into a huge oak.
Nikki, 17, had been to lots of street races. But this - she had never seen anything like this. Always, the drivers sped back to the starting line and emerged from their cars laughing, victorious, or maybe chagrined at a loss.
But not this time. Nikki recognized the car. This time, her friend Larry West, 23, had lost control.
A smoky metallic stench filled the air as Nikki sprinted toward the crumpled Mustang. Her Birkenstocks stuck in the soggy ground. She tripped, almost fell, ran some more, struggling against a frantic crowd of people running the other way.
Cars streamed down Rebsamen Park Road and exited Murray Park. Nobody wanted to be there when the cops showed up.
Again, Nikki's feet mired in the mud. She paused, freed them, kept running. An awful realization had just penetrated:
Only a minute earlier - at 1:32 a.m. - Nikki's best friend, Emily Lawrence, had sent her a text message from her cell phone:
"Im ridin w Larry in a race! *XoXo*"
Emily was in that car too.
In the hours before the wreck, police had run off hundreds of street racers and spectators from all their usual "tracks" - including the deserted roads near the Otter Creek and Fourche Dam Pike industrial areas.
Not unusual and not a problem. The racers would find another track.
They called each other as they fled, discussing a third location.
At 12:51 a.m., Emily texted Nikki on her cell phone: "Were goin 2 murry park *xoxo*"
Murray Park, on the south bank of the Arkansas River, closes at 10 p.m. The racers knew police would have made a final sweep, shooing along any stragglers, and patrol infrequently afterward.
So while Rebsamen Park Road - with its bumps and slight twist toward the end - wasn't ideal, the racers figured they could make several runs before the cops came through again.
Earlier that night, Nikki had overheard Larry and his best friend, David Mason, 23, planning to race - Larry in the Mustang and David in a yellow Mazda.
When Nikki pulled into Murray Park, the races were under way. As she stood in the crowd of spectators, chatting with friends, her cell phone beeped.
It was that message from Emily. She was going to ride with Larry, something she had never done. Nikki tucked the phone into her pocket without replying. She would ask Emily about the race later.
Nearby, Daniel Hooper, 23, was talking to a couple of buddies when, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a car that was speeding down Rebsamen swerve, then fishtail. The driver overcorrected, and Daniel heard a bang as the car hit and uprooted a tree. The impact sent the car spinning into a second oak.
Daniel recognized the black car smashed against that tree - 1998 Mustang. Larry West's.
Daniel dashed over. David and Nikki arrived seconds later.
"Dude?" David asked, hunching over the driver's side window. "Dude, are you OK?"
"Yeah," Larry said, his voice thick and sluggish. "Yeah."
David peered into the car. The force of the crash had pushed the front seats forward, almost all the way to the dashboard. Larry's chest was inches from the steering wheel. Blood dripped from his face onto his shirt.
And Emily - pretty, blonde, tiny Emily. Only 18. Due to graduate from Central High School in May.
Larry's girlfriend of five months.
She was slumped next to Larry, feet perched on the dash, almost like she'd been taking a casual summertime windowsdown drive. Her head lolled toward Larry. One arm rested on her midriff.
Nikki leaned in. "Em? Can you hear me?"
"Emily?" David repeated.
But Emily didn't answer.
Larry had been Emily's first love.
His name appeared seven times in Emily's 2006 Central High School Senior Book, a scrapbook filled with scrawling memories:
I would like to go out with ... Larry West
Best date ever ... Larry West.
I fell hard for ... Larry West- but you know how that goes.
For Larry, Emily learned how to cook spaghetti. For Larry, she started cleaning her room, just in case he dropped by. For Larry, she started going to the races.
They run the races Friday and Saturday nights, hundreds of speed enthusiasts caravaning from one deserted area of the city to the next, where they line up quickly and efficiently.
Then from spray-painted starting lines, the cars roar off two by two into the darkness.
The night usually begins around 9:30 p.m. or 10, in the Luby's parking lot in west Little Rock, at Chenal Parkway and Markham Street. Until police order the racers to leave, they'll hang out, showing off flashy imports, placing bets and arranging to meet later in one of two industrial parts of town, where long stretches of smooth empty roadway beckon.
Juanacha knew Larry loved cars and that Emily had watched him race.
What Juanacha didn't know is that Hollywood's glamorized image of street racing - intensified in recent years by the immensely popular The Fast and the Furious movies - has turned what once was an underground subculture into a mainstream social event.
In Little Rock, a large roving crowd of spectators accompanies the racers - including the teenage girls who cheer on boyfriends or wander the fringes ofthese adrenaline-fueled parties, flirting with the men who strut from their winning cars.
What Juanacha didn't know is that after dozens of wrecks across the nation, even fatal ones, hundreds of racers and spectators have fled en masse, fearing capture more than conscience.
Or that on March 12, her daughter - her beautiful, golden, full-of-promise daughter - would be one of those victims, and that only a handful of reluctant witnesses would try to help the comatose girl trapped inside the crushed, accordionpleated car.
Or that in the months after the wreck, only one person - someone who didn't even know Emily - would be willing to talk to police.
At 1:38 a.m., an unidentified caller described to a 911 dispatcher a one-car wreck on Rebsamen Park Road.
While they waited for police, Nikki, David, Daniel, and four or five others gathered around the Mustang, debating whether Nikki should call Emily's mom. Don't call her until the ambulance leaves, several people said.
Nikki wavered. Maybe they were right. Then she imaginedherself in Emily's place. She would want her mom.
Ignoring the protests, Nikki punched in the number.
The night began at the nowdefunct Bubba & Garcia's restaurant, where Emily worked part time as a hostess. Her paycheck went toward clothes and, soon, she hoped, a used Honda that Nikki's mother wanted to sell.
Juanacha thought the car was a good deal and had promised to buy it.
In the middle of Emily's shift that night, Nikki arrived with a friend for dinner. During a lull, Emily sat with the girls, folding silverware into napkins as the trio gossiped.
Even though they had met just that school year, Nikki and Emily considered themselves best friends. The girls shared two classes, geometry and JAG (Jobs for Arkansas' Graduates), a school-to-work program.
If not for Emily, Nikki never would have made it through geometry.
Emily earned good grades in most subjects. She also nurtured an artistic bent and hoped for a college degree in fashion design or merchandising. Dozens of sketchbooks littered her room; Juanacha often thumbed through them, amazed by her kid's ability.
People often confused Juanacha and Emily, they looked somuch alike. While the mix-ups flattered Juanacha, she prayed her daughter's life would be easier than hers.
Juanacha was 19 and unmarried when Laura Emily Lawrence was born. She often joked that she and Emily had grown up together.
As a single mother, Juanacha worked as a hairdresser, waitress and bartender, at times barely eking by. She married, had a son, Chandler, divorced. Through all the hardships, Emily remained Juanacha's one constant.
Small and trim, with thick, shoulder-length hair, Emily dressed with flair. On her, the color pink, a staple of her wardrobe, looked sophisticated, not little-girllike.
She dressed carefully for each occasion, which meant she would switch outfits for the races once her shift ended that night. Nikki, too, wanted to change clothes. She told Emily to call when she was ready.
Meanwhile, at the Faded Rose restaurant next door to Bubba & Garcia's, Juanacha was pulling a double at the bar. The extra money would go toward the Honda. The previous month, a string of doubles had covered Emily's prom dress - pink, of course.
At 9 p.m. Emily walked into the Faded Rose, angry with Juanacha's live-in boyfriend, Brian Lloyd. "B" - Emily's nickname for Brian - wouldn't let Larry go to the house to pick up a change of clothes for Emily. B didn't want Larry in the house when no one else was home.
Brian didn't approve of the relationship. Neither did Juanacha. For one thing, Larry and Emily had waited until Emily's 18th birthday to admit that Larry was 23, not 20, as they had claimed.
Juanacha wanted to forbid Emily from seeing him but feared doing so would heighten the attraction.
So she listened that night to Emily's vent, resisting the temptation to criticize Larry.
"Don't sweat the small stuff," she said, brushing Emily's hair out of her eyes. "Do you have a ride home? I still have an hour until I get off."
"Larry's coming to get me," Emily said.
"What are you going to do?"
"I'm going over to Larry's to hang out."
"Be careful," Juanacha said. She always said that.
It was 11:15 p.m., about two hours before the wreck.
Emily called Juanacha, who had just arrived home. The tips that night had been good.
"I'm gonna get you that car," she declared. "You'll get it by Friday."
Emily shrieked with delight, and Juanacha flashed back to memories of a tow-headed toddler nicknamed Emmy-Poo.
"I love you!" Emmy screamed into the phone.
"You love me because I'm buying you a car," her mom retorted, laughing.
And then Juanacha cut the conversation short. After pulling a double shift, she wanted to relax.
Why, Juanacha would wonder later, hadn't she said "I love you" back?
At 1:40 a.m., Juanacha, who'd been sitting on the back porch with Brian at their rented home in the Kingwood area, went inside and checked her cell phone.
Nikki had called.
She dialed Nikki's number. "Hey, Nikki, what's up?"
"Emily's been in an accident, and it's really bad!"
In the background, Juanacha heard people talking. And a siren? Juanacha dropped to her knees.
"What? What?"
"You've gotta come on! They don't know if she's going to make it!"
Juanacha bolted to the bathroom and threw up. She ran back through the house, to the porch.
"Emmy's been in a wreck!
She's hurt bad, I can tell!"
"You don't know," Brian told Juanacha, over and over, as they headed to Murray Park.
"I know. I'm her mother. I know."
When they arrived at Murray Park, Juanacha leaped out even before the car had stopped. She ran toward the wreckage, dodging cars, gawkers, the hands that grabbed at her.
"Oh, s***," said one boy.
"That's the mom."
"Emily! Emily!"
One pair of hands caught and clung; others snatched at air.
"Let go!" Juanacha screamed, pushing them away. "Where's my baby? Where's my baby?"
She kept running.
"Emily! Emily !"As Juanacha neared the ambulance, she could see Emily lying on the stretcher, one of her pale, slender arms dangling from the gurney's edge. Strands of Emily's honey-blond hair - the same hair that Juanacha had tenderly swept out of her daughter's eyes just hours earlier - had been pushed back from her forehead by the paramedics' hurried fingers.
"Please," Juanacha begged the emergency crew. "Please, that's my daughter."
Firm hands held her back.
"I want her to know I'm here," she sobbed. "She needs to know I'm here."
No, they said, you can't go over there. And no, you can't ride in the ambulance.
Juanacha ran to her car. "Follow them!" she yelled at Brian.
On the race to the hospital, she could see into the back of the ambulance. Under bright lights, the paramedics stooped over Emily, pulling, pushing, working to salvage what was left of her daughter.
Shortly before 2 a.m., the phone's piercing ring jarred Annie Moak from sleep.
Her husband, Al, answered it - and then his face twisted.
Annie could hear Juanacha screaming.
"Emily's been in a wreck," Al said to Annie. "They're on the way to the hospital. They think she's got a broken leg."
Annie imagined her petite granddaughter on crutches, hobbling up the aisle to receive her diploma on graduation day.
The couple packed, just in case. The trip from their home, just outside of Jackson, Miss., to Little Rock would take five hours. Then they waited, fretting, for an update.
A few hours later, the phone rang again. It was Juanacha.
The brain scans, she said, hadn't shown any activity.
"Annie." Juanacha's voice broke. "Annie, you'd better come on."
At the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences hospital,Emily's friends had gathered in small nervous clusters throughout the ER's waiting area.
"What happened?" Juanacha demanded of each group. "What the hell happened?"
They were street racing, the teenagers told her. Larry and another guy. Emily was in the car, too.
This didn't make sense. How did her daughter - steady, dependable, down-to-earth Emily - end up in a street race?
Juanacha turned to the ER nurses. "Will she live? Just tell me if she's going to live."
They were still running tests, they said. Right then, they just didn't know. No, you can't see Emily right now.
Juanacha paced and cried. Every so often, she pounded small fists against unyielding windows.
"I am her mother! I. Am. Her. Mother !"
Eventually, the nurses allowed Juanacha back.
She knew, the moment she saw Emily's eyes, that her daughter was gone.
Juanacha lay across Emily and cried, big gasping sobs that shook her body and the child born of that body.
"Please don't do this, Emily. Just please, come back. Open your eyes. Please open your eyes. ..." But the eyes - halfway open, glazed - never changed.
She noticed tears on her daughter's cheeks. Was she crying? In pain?
No, the nurses reassured her.
"I need a towel," Juanacha insisted.
As the sun rose on that Sunday morning, she sat there, waiting, praying, wiping her daughter's eyes.
Several hours later, a neurosurgeon approached Juanacha, Brian and Shane Goldsby, Emily's biological father. Silently, he led them into a private room. The doctor looked at Juanacha with such pity.
Emily, the doctor said, was brain-dead. The force of the accident had shaken and dislodged her brain, lowering it onto thestem, an unusual but devastating injury.
"But there's hope, right?" Juanacha interrupted.
The doctor looked at her steadily and repeated: "Your daughter is brain-dead."
At 1:30 p.m., Al and Annie Moak pulled into Little Rock. They went immediately to Emily's bedside.
"Well, sweet baby, you've gotten yourself into a mess here," Annie told her granddaughter. She held Emily's hand and prayed for a miracle.
All that day, family members wandered in and out.
More grandparents. Aunts. Uncles.
Chandler, Emily's 15-year-old brother, sat by the bed, crying silently.
Emily's cousin, Summer Lawrence, 21, arrived last. In June, Emily was supposed to be Summer's maid of honor.
Summer stared at her cousin and thought about how when they were little, she and Emily would awaken each other by jumping on the bed.
That's what Summer wanted to do - jump on that hospital bed.
Too soon, Juanacha thought, the nurses asked about organ donation.
Emily had made her wishes clear in tiny red letters on her driver's license: Organ donor.
Was Juanacha ready to let the doctors disconnect Emily from life support so they could save others?
No, Juanacha said the first time. No way.
Later, they asked again. Without the brain giving signals, Emily's body would soon start to deteriorate, her organs failing, the nurses said.
"I'm not giving up on my daughter," Juanacha told them.
That evening, Juanacha consulted again with the neurosurgeon. Then she and Emily's dad sat down to talk.
"She's gone," Shane said. "That's not our child in there."
Juanacha wrestled with thedecision and wept as she let go.
They brought in the paperwork, and, page by agonizing page, Juanacha dismantled her daughter.
Skin? No.
Eyes? No.
Heart? Yes.
Lungs? Yes.
Kidneys? Yes ...
Machines and drugs kept Emily alive until Monday afternoon.
Someone, somewhere, needed time to arrange for the organ recipients.
Through those long, final hours, Juanacha stayed with Emily. She begged her daughter for forgiveness. She hadn't prayed hard enough.
One by one, family members said goodbye. Juanacha cut a lock of Emily's hair. And then the nurses came to take Emily.
"It's OK to let go," Juanacha sobbed to her daughter. "You need to go be with Jesus."
Then Juanacha stumbled from the room.
By mid-June, the police file on the wreck remained skimpy.
Only one witness - only one, investigators stressed - out of the several hundred people in Murray Park that night - had agreed to talk.
Larry West wouldn't cooperate.
Neither would the man who had raced against Larry that night. Police had a description of a bright yellow car, an import. They had heard that the other racer was named David. They even had a phone number. But David wouldn't answer or call back.
The cops had taken Nikki's name and number that night but never called. Nikki was relieved. She didn't want to tell on anybody.
The unwillingness of witnesses stunned Juanacha.
These people, she thought, were her daughter's friends?
Juanacha vowed to make the racers talk. She wouldn't allow them to forget Emily.
She began with a phone call to the man who drove Emily to her death.
"Larry," she pleaded. "Emily deserves better than this." Tomorrow: Juanacha seeks justice as the street races continue.
This series of stories is based on repeated interviews since June 6 with Emily Lawrence's family and friends and sources close to the investigation, as well as police and court documents.
Descriptions of the wreck and its aftermath were recreated using the recollections of Juanacha Lawrence, Brian Lloyd, Nikki Jones, David Mason, Daniel Hooper, Lt. Casey Clark, and police and court documents.
Descriptions of what transpired at the hospital are based on the recollections of Juanacha Lawrence, Nikki Jones, David Mason, Annie Moak, Summer Lawrence, Brian Lloyd, Shane Goldsby and hospital records provided by Emily's mother.
All direct quotes in thenarration are based on the memories of those interviewed.
Reporter Cathy Frye talked to numerous other friends and family who do not appear in the series but served as corroborative sources.
Frye also talked frequently with several sources who had access to information about the accident and insisted on anonymity because of their involvement in the investigation.
Frye and photographer Stephen Thornton went to the street race described in Part Two.
Quotes from that portion of the story were obtained directly from the racers and spectators, all of whom knew they were talking to a Democrat-Gazette reporter.
Larry West didn't respond to numerous requests for interviews.
