Martin Glover doesn't have a brand he's associated with outside his nickname. Thus, I don't think he has a preferred style, he moves within many of them, yet him working with Heather Nova does show that his loyalties lie in alternative rock music. I mean, he produced her most famous album, Oyster, which could be described as the most 90's of the 90's platters in the similar vein. Still, that shouldn't suggest she's terrible – she's highly uneven as the review at Allmusic says, because her highs are incredible, though her lows do detract us from them. Nonetheless, we should applaud the fact she continues to work, whereas many of her contemporaries turned to the nostalgia circuits. She moved within the mainstream, but she didn't become swallowed by that.

Cohesion (String Theory, Book 1)
Jeffrey Lang
July 2005 (366pp)
[Star Trek: Voyager]
The story falls between the fourth and the fifth seasons of the show. A discovery of planets in a binary system with one of the stars being a white dwarf proves to be too mysterious to pass up. With all of the lethal radiation flowing into the system, why is there a planet showing signs of life? When the Monorhans ask for help with their vessel, the Voyager crew starts a chain reaction of chaos.
“Heather Jarman and Kirsten Beyer wrote the plot outline for the String Theory trilogy with very little input from me. We three knew we were going to be cowriting the three books, but when the time for plotting came I was absorbed in another project. This wasn't a problem for me since I knew K&H had a much more in-depth knowledge of Voyager and had some definite ideas about what kind of story they wanted to do. I believe that the original plan was that I would do the third book, but because of various scheduling factors, I ended up with the first, which was fine with me because I really enjoy writing Seven and B'Elanna. This is all a protracted way of saying, ‘The idea for Cohesion wasn't mine.’ However, I did have a lot of input into the story details, particularly the creation of Monorhans. In the original outline, H&K deliberately left their background, history, physiology, culture and so on, pretty vague with the idea that I would fill that in, which turned out to be one of the most satisfying aspects of the project. Also, the time/space mechanics had to be figured out, which ended up being very enjoyable, too (though frustrating at times). I really wanted the science in this book to make sense, which I think it does most of the time (barring the usual Star Trek hand-waving).”
Jeff continued, “The writing process was much different in this one in that I had to adjust the story and characters to line up with what Kirsten was doing in Book Two (she was working on her rough draft as I was moving into draft two or three) and Heather was planning for Book Three. Most of this worked out very easily since we communicated pretty regularly via phone and e-mail. The biggest problem with my first draft was H&K had problems—very legitimate problems—with my characterization of Janeway. I had trouble getting my mind wrapped around her persona, but H&K steered me in the right direction. All in all, Cohesion was a lot of fun.”

Heather remarked, “This really begins back in Voyager's fifth season when I met and became best friends with Kirsten Beyer. Our first discussion was a heated, but polite, discussion of whether or not Janeway in ‘Night’ (fifth season premiere) was some kind of Janeway clone or whether she was actually Janeway, since the episode seemed to be so out of character for her. Together, we developed several stories that were pitched to Voyager. Our first (and favorite) was a story called Cohesion about Seven of Nine and B'Elanna. Once it became apparent that Voyager was never going to get over their infatuation with things that go boom, we gave up developing new ideas.” [...]

Denver.- La balacera en una zona del centro de Denver donde los fanáticos del baloncesto celebraban el primer título de la NBA de los Nuggets habría sido causada por un negocio de drogas que salió mal, informó la policía. La violencia dejó 10 personas heridas, incluyendo dos de los presuntos atacantes
Se espera que todos los heridos sobrevivan, incluidas cinco o seis personas que la policía cree que eran transeúntes y no estaban involucradas en el tráfico de drogas, dijo el jefe policial Ron Thomas en una conferencia de prensa. Mencionó que se dispararon 20 cartuchos de munición en el sitio, situado a unos mil 500 metros de la Ball Arena, donde los Nuggets derrotaron al Heat de Miami la noche de ayer.
El portavoz de la policía, Doug Schepman, detalló que el tiroteo ocurrió en "la zona donde se había reunido la mayor cantidad de personas para celebrar durante la noche", pero que al momento del incidente, "la multitud había disminuido considerablemente".
Los disparos comenzaron alrededor de las 12:30 de la madrugada., aproximadamente tres horas y media después del juego, informó el departamento de policía de Denver en un comunicado.
Scott D'Angelo estaba transmitiendo en vivo cuando escuchó fuertes estallidos que provocaron el pánico entre la gente, que trataron de encontrar refugio, algunos lanzándose para cubrirse o saltando sobre barricadas de cemento.
Policías, con equipo antidisturbios, desenfundaron sus armas y gritaba a la multitud a buscar refugio.
Agachado en el suelo, D'Angelo, de 58 años, dijo que le temblaban los brazos por los nervios y que temió que le iba a dar un ataque de asma.
La zona fue acordonada y en ella se podían ver pruebas señalizadas además de basura y objetos varios relacionados a las celebraciones, como una bicicleta y un patinete.
La policía estaba entrevistando a los testigos y Schepman describió la pesquisa abierta como "amplia".
Ocho personas estaban hospitalizadas en el Centro Médico de Denver: una en estado crítico, una en estado intermedio y seis en condición buena, dijo la vocera Heather Burke. Añadió que preguntas sobre las otras dos personas heridas deben ir a la policía.
A year ago, I stood on the corner of 52nd St. and 8th Ave., waiting to go inside for a free first preview of a new Broadway show. I generally prefer to wait until a show officially opens, partly so I can judge a final product, but mostly because a former friend attends early previews and I go out of my way to avoid her. But who can say no to free theatre tickets? (If she was there that night, I didn't see her, so crisis averted.) As always, I was excited to see a new show, but I had some concerns. Did we really need another adaptation of a movie, especially one so beloved by many? I had only seen the movie once, but I still knew it was iconic and completely understood why. Would it live up to the original source material, or would it be as offensively bad as some other adaptations I won't publicly name? I remained cautiously optimistic and eager to find out.
The opening number set the scene with just the right amount of exposition, and the following number was making me laugh, until all of a sudden they had to stop the show. Understandable. It was a first preview, and I figured they were still working some technical kinks out. Then forty-five minutes passed and free drinks were offered. I even considered not waiting at the stage door. At this point, I would already get home late, and I had to be up early for work the following day. The composer, book writer, and director got up on stage and reassured their audience that this never happened in rehearsals. They told us that despite the turntable refusing to cooperate, they would resume the first act concert-style, and then perform five songs from the second act. They also said they would give us all vouchers to come back to a later preview so we could see it the way they wanted us to. The actors had to sit in chairs and couldn't change out of their costumes, but they still gave it their all. Their ability to laugh through the stress and perform as if they were using the full set and choreography blew my mind. I think, "There you are" got the biggest laugh of the night, since all someone did was get up out of a chair. When the lead actor burst into laughter, I knew I was going to wait and congratulate everyone. It would be worth being tired the next day. When I went back a few weeks later, there was another technical stop, but this time it only lasted ten minutes. And I got to see/hear half of one of my favorite songs in the show twice. Still the best car chase I've ever seen, and probably ever will see.
Four months went by before I would see it again, but in that time I listened to the cast recording constantly and memorized the score. It was the show I recommended to friends without hesitation. I even sang the act two opener in acting class with the "Hope" (see what I did there?) that it would encourage people to buy tickets. But it wasn't enough. A week and a half after my third trip to Punxsutawney, the show posted its closing notice, and it hurt way more than I was expecting it to. I went back a lot during its final month, made friends both on the Internet and in real life, and cried with them through the final performance. I managed to see it eight times during its six-month-and-one-day run, and I wish I could have gone more.
This beautiful gem of a show deserved to run as long as Phil was stuck in that time loop. No. It deserved to run even longer than that. The care and detail that team put into every line, every movement, every...everything...continues to amaze me. It's been gone six months (minus one day) now, and I'm still picking up on new details when I listen to it or when my mind happens to wander back to its time on Broadway. A tragedy occurred in Barcelona, and the next day, they changed a line from, "It always makes me think of Barcelona" to, "It always makes me think of Machu Picchu." Something a certain other show I won't publicly name could have learned from. I'm not bitter. It enhanced the original source material, and cast a large, diverse group of kind people who deserve nothing but happiness and success. I will never stop missing it, but I'm forever grateful for the time we had together, even if it was cut far too short.
What started as a show that I really enjoyed back in June slowly evolved into one of my all-time favorites. When I think about this show, I remember the joy that I felt when I watched it on Broadway. But then, I think about the heartfelt messages and great lyrics accompanied by an emotional and inspirational story lead by an incredible cast. This is a show that should have lasted longer but I am grateful of what it did to me. It introduced me to a community of great people on Tumblr and has inspired me to draw more than ever before during the summer. And every time I draw these characters, I fall more in love with it. Thank you, Groundhog Day, for being an amazing show.

I’ve missed Heather Dubrow ever since she left the show. I’ve never given up hope about her returning one day though.
I was obsessed with Heather when she was a housewife. She was my favorite on RHOC and nobody could replace her after she quit.
She quit after season 11, and it’s alleged that she refused to be a part of the show with Kelly Dodd.
Kelly was the newbie in season 11 and she got a rocky start.
Kelly felt setup by Shannon Beador at the 70’s party and she called her a cunt and Tamra Judge a dumb fuck.
Heather got very upset and said that this was “low base bullshit”. She told Tamra that she never wanted to see Kelly again.
This was also the season with the trip to Ireland and the infamous bus ride from hell.
It truly was a bus ride from hell, where Heather told Kelly: “Nothing you will say will hurt me, because you are trash.”
I’ve always had a feeling that Heather quit because of this bus ride.
Vicki had felt isolated on the show after the cancer scam in season 10 and her only ally was the Kelly.
When Vicki didn’t support her on the bus, Kelly threw her under it.
She said that Vicki had told her about how Shannon’s now ex-husband had beaten her, and that Tamra’s husband was gay and cheating on her.
My theory was that Vicki tried to prove that there was rumors about all of the women’s husbands and they should back off on Brooks Ayers and the cancer scam.
Vicki is no longer a part of the show, and Kelly has been fired by Bravo.
Can I get a hallelujah?
Others that won’t return next season is Elizabeth Vargas and Braunwyn Windham-Burke.
It seems like season 16 will have Heather, Shannon, Emily Simpson and Gina Kirschenheiter. And to be fair, that’s too few.
I’m still waiting for another Housewives legend to confirm her return.
