No matter how heinous a crime is, or how evil a person is, I do not wish death on anybody. I have no bones about saying that. And imagine if years down the road, it was proved that Davis really didn't do it? They couldn't even find a weapon!!!!!! 

I respect your opinion. But, you can prove a crime without a weapon.

But why was there no DNA and blood linked to Troy Davis, either? Also, why did seven of nine witnesses dispute all or parts of their testimony. That is why there is an uproar, beyond just the death penalty.  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/09/20/troy-davis-denied-clemency_n_971349.html

As of 11:15 PM EDT, Troy Davis has been executed. This is not a proud moment in American history. 

I second that. This is a dark day in America. It reflects not only on the vast ugly history of racism and discrimination in America, but it also reflects on how heartless, vile, and vengeful humanity can be.

The Supreme Court denied the stay of execution.      This is a very dark day in American history.

It pretty much depends on the U.S. Supreme Court to stay the execution. The execution has been delayed about 20 minutes already.

I hope and pray that the US Supreme Court does that.

This is such an injustice with Troy Davis.    So many of the jurors have recanted, and people from all walks of life worldwide, of different religions, ethnicities, and politics have spoken out in support of keeping him alive. But the state of Georgia has ignored these voices and still decides to execute him.

Steve Oliver did have a hand in producing Who Now Do You Love. I knew it sounded like his style.

So all live TWC programs but Wake Up With Al use the L-bar that is presumably gonna replace the 90-second flavors permanently? Why use the L-bar at all if you're not going to use it one program?   

Also it isn't used on YWT either.

I'm going to go ahead and announce this now.
I have recorded several LF's this morning and will try to record a few 4000 videos, but these recordings will be my final LF videos for a good while, or even for good. They will be posted at my artwork and creation topic.

As Christina said above, it is just a channel on my TV and nothing more to me as well. I'm not taking a break from TWCT (yet), but this is it for my LF's.

Yeah, what TWC decides to do really is not that important to me. I'll still tune in to the LFs as long as there's still LFs, cause who knows if the LOT8s will be ultimately done away with.

Congrats to Vivian, as well. One of my favorite meteorologists at TWC. Just curious, but does she have a family? If so, I'm sure her husband and kids would be happy for her as well

I'm assuming you didn't watch the video above because that was mentioned there how she's been pregnant on air a few times in the past 25 years, specifically her 2003 pregnancy. I remember when she was pregnant on air back then.

I remember Vivian being pregnant in 2003, too. She is married with one child.

One thing is certain about Viv, she fits that category of people who hardly ever age. She looks the same now as she did 25 years ago. Congrats to 25 years!

I agree!  She looks excellent for her age.

Is Whisper to Me by 7and5 even on this playlist anymore? I have not heard it at all since last Thursday. All I hear on daytime is Villa by the Sea and I'm Waiting for You for the umpteenth time

I haven't heard S7ven Large either since last Thursday. That's the problem with the reduced LFs.
