Family First By Robin Graves
Isaiah 1:16-17
"Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; Put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes. Cease to do evil, Learn to do good; Seek justice, Rebuke the oppressor; Defend the fatherless, Plead for the widow."
Surprising Jason at the Oklahoma, World Toughman Championships: Chuck said,"Jason, you fought angry, as a possessed man. That's how you win. Fight back!" Whenever Jason fought, Chuck was "….a presence whose energy you carried along with you to claim a Claymont wrestling match." – Freeman.
Holy man Chuck Young & Jason Freeman
Even if he wasn't there, the man wanted Jason to win so bad he became a part of Jason's strength and character from the boxing ring to the octagon. Seeing Chuck Young and his wife Ruth at the Championships was a powerfully nostalgic flashback to high school wrestling days when, if Jason ever lost a fight, Chuck's philosophy stayed the same, "You just weren't mad enough."
"God put a stage under my feet, a platform to stand on. To give back what all my father figures gave to me. Now it's time for me to walk my real father's paths and stand in their shoes . . ." – Jason Freeman.
All through the holiday's, around Western 'civilizations' calendars and clocks of changing seasons celebrations 2015/16 we have been honored, by old fashioned telephone calls from one Jason Lee Freeman. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, a sacred time, holy no matter how you look at it, during the Winter Solstice. The longest nights of the year and, a changing of seasons to the Autumnal Equinox and, round again as Jason rides out Hurricane Matthew giving final approval for this very personal article and the audio video herein at 11:10am yesterday October 7th, 2016.
Jason is a former professional boxer and Mixed Martial Arts fighter. He held 10 regional amateur championships across the State of Ohio before becoming professional. Amateur record of 112 wins and 5 loses. He continued advancing his classroom time with Grand Master, David Reese, to achieve his honorable 1st degree black belt. Master Jason Lee now holds a 5th degree black belt at age 40.
Jason is a spiritual man who bears witness to the faith in, 'OUR FATHER, who art in Heaven', to whomever is able and willing to receive it. And, he is a family man who loves helping troubled youth with his story of the fight skills he learned overcoming his adversities and changing the American History of his families ever ongoing, perpetually difficult, and infamous public history.
FAMILY FIRST is Jason's prerogative. And FAMILY FIRST was the result of a census asking four generations of American's, 'HOW MUCH ARE EACH OF THE FOLLOWING A PART OF YOUR PERSONAL IDENTITY?' The article had seven categories to choose from: 'My Family, Being An American, My Religious Faith, My Ethnic Group, My Career, My State, My City.
Assuming that the majority of the people involved in the census were 'citizens'; and granted, that three of the seven choices were singled out overall and unified into the exact juxtaposition of Americas 'military' men and women of the United States Marine Corps slogan: 'God, Country and Family' order.
While, taking into account the import of this trinities matrix, each and individually to one and each other: as they correspond with the sacred trinities: Body, Mind & Spirit (as ONE); or The Father, The Son & The Holy Ghost (as ONE). It would appear that the mathematical result of the census is not only the reality, but aligns in perfect harmony with the mythical mysteries or the mystical and magical; ie: Body = Family. Mind = Country. Spirit = Religion. Or if you don't believe in religion, Spirit = Spiritualism = Heart = Will?
66Imagine there's no countries
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too99
BODY: Uno-Red-Tin-man
Religion is, the habitual character of the ONE who acts on impulses guided by an irrational and unknowable source instinctual to the zealot and the orthodox.
MIND: Dos-Blue-Scarecrow
America is, the direct result of opportunity, capitalism, 'Eminent Domain' and 'Manifest Destiny' propelled by religions, fortune seekers, criminals and mass migration/immigration. Just Google on Twitter: 'No DAPL' While;
SOUL: Tres-Green-Lion
Family is, the core which generates each of the former parts of 'personal identities' in Black & White shinning lights and/or the ever widening Gray areas of multiple realities
Our proportionate area of visual perception
We are only capable of seeing a very small fraction of what is really out there, and all around us. This analogy is being used to represent what one single persons' individual perceptions can see against what the multitudinous, sociological backgrounds of our nations, Constitutions, religions, traditions and cultures can see in public domain without the distortions and distractions of the media.
This is personal.

Grey Areas: 'Sensitivity' has always been looked and locked down on by the realist, painting sensitivity from its grays into a very pitch black darkroom of lunacy or mental illness. The inversion of the trinity from the Spirit of Religions that got us all here; into the Mind of America; is naturally the Body of the Family!
The Body is the Church; and is: 'The Family' in effect, it regenerates the next revolution of the Soul/Spirit. We as a People have moved through that trinity of the flesh and muscle or (might makes right) mentalities; we are currently cerebral in social engagements entangled, all trapped still in the matrix of the mazes in the mind. Not yet sensitive enough or maybe just (too dumbed down) to make the transition, too the spirit.
'To make the –(proverbial)—leap' from the muscles controlled by the money-minds and the talking-heads, into the heart of the matter, or into the mind uncontrolled by and for the freedom of the Soul.
Those who can, are stigmatized by the majority of our current cultures and societies in America while not so much so abroad.
Imagine that you were the 3rd generation of a 'Family' many people in your native country consider to be cursed — imagine if you were the grandson of a man so notorious most Americans see him as the very personification of incarnate EVIL. And — imagine if, you were the son of a man very few people know anything of beyond believing and repeating the official reports, that your, 'father committed suicide' and your 'grandfather practiced witchcraft'.
Imagine – that 25 years since your father's alleged 'suicide' you never saw your stepmother or your half-brother ever again. A family divided by nationally historic events. A family divided by the mainstream media and a President of the United States. All for a quintessential event out of all our histories, with the equivalent (in its impact on a nation) of an atomic bomb, metaphorically speaking.
Against all the odds could you even dream to be a good family man? Could you be a good husband? A good father? Could you even possibly be a good grandson to the man who almost all of the people, controlled by the media in a nation call a 'monster'? Would there be any reason why, that would be a wise decision to make if you were a family man, to meet the man, who your family forbids you almost all of your life to ever even mention?

Mind control was the charge. 'Conspiracy to mind control.' conspiracy theory nut jobs succeeded in convicting him of witchcraft. In other words, if you're on the broken clocks, it's very easy to control you. The calendars on the idiot boxes bought and paid for, the holidays of emotions, the consumers of commercials marketed. CAPITAL! Capitalism.
Our public school systems and higher education's, package the overall favorites: 'Children, Death & Sex;' right into our bodies, minds and souls, stagnating us until the very last profit can be had.
Imagine – watching people for almost one half of a century profiting off of images, letters, music, etc., of your grandfather's. Imagine – your parents giving up your true surname; and then you, grow up watching all the opportunistic people, over all the years, using your surname to sell death and fear?
Jason Freeman: "I made my mind up years ago to just stop asking. I left it alone through my childhood. As it surfaces back to the front of my mind in my early 30's, I still make the choice not to watch the medias' perspective and the past history of the case and events. I had a different view. – As I held a strong grudge against my grandfather for my father's death. I still needed answers. Answers only the Old man could answer. Also, I needed to know my grandfather on a personal level. To see if he was what society portrayed him to be. Through time I got the answers I was seeking – About my father, the relationship with my grandmother. Most of all was this man a man I wanted to, or could even build a relationship with – From a grandson reaching out into the deep unknown. Questions only asked by a family member to another – Nothing to do with the murders, what, how, where or when. Deeper questions not yet raised by anyone. Questions from a young man whose father was gone due to suicide while a grandfather lays his head on a pillow and rests on a cement slab locked away from society."
A SECRET NAME, all your life you've known, was supposed to be yours. A name absolutely owned by the 'Public Domain' and so far, used for over 400 books, countless movies, coveted music, underground art, infinite t-shirts, multitudinous bumper stickers, etc., ad nausea. A man who numerous rock bands, artists and writers continuously plagiarize with absolute impunity.
A man whose name is still in the news every two months for over the last 45 years. A man reportedly mentally ill, who has spent over half of a century locked up and much of that time in solitary confinement while that same man, (your grandfather) by law is not allowed to profit off of anything he creates, but anyone and everyone else can profit from the very lucrative marketing of the MANSON family name. A man who has had no rights to his own name . . . for three generations. Would you want to dare to take back your surname and defend it?
Now imagine – yourselves, how titles about your grandfather like, 'Attempting to Smuggle his Sperm out of Prison,' and 'Desperate to Have a Child,' or 'fiancee wanted to marry him for his corpse' would make you feel when the sources of those false stories have successfully manipulated the mainstream media into very closely relating them to – as his fictional father and her fictional real-boyfriend; wife; friend; guy in the cell doing life next to him; who? What? Does that fall into the grey-area of 'Fair Use' laws or in inimitable hearsay? Are THESE PEOPLE,'Best Selling Authors' and reputable NEWS reporters mere pawns of the mind controlling mainstream media surrounding this one notorious man and his FAMILY?
Rolling Stone magazines, packaged, product, powerful, magnificent. Media minded power?
Imagine – if some guy who participated and got paid, in the ridiculous creations of some of the rudest stories, was the same guy you granted your own DNA for testing to prove him as your uncle and the biological son of your grandfather; who then four years after he was proven not be related to you (or by proxy your grandfather) he is still in the money-minds, media machine, making money from your surname and the bloodline of your fathers? Imagine – that!
Would you be mad? Would you want to pick a fight?

I aim with my eye.I do not shoot with my hand; he who shoots with his hand has forgotten the face of his father.
I shoot with my mind.I do not kill with my gun; he who kills with his gun has forgotten the face of his father.
I kill with my heart."
NOT TAKING NO FOR AN ANSWER
Robin Graves: "Specifically you said, Manson won't let you visit and is set in his ways and won't cooperate or agree to what you think'? Let's start with that . . ."
Jason Freeman: "Yep"
Robin Graves: "He wants to keep you out of the public eye but you are going to do what you plan and want anyway?"
Jason Freeman: "I need to get the California courts to recognize me as his grandson. I need medical records for my health issues. What can you do with that idea??? For real, I got to break ground and that's my only way in. My court paper work shows I'm Charles Manson Jr's son. That's my first reason behind my roots. Then I can get a visit seeing I'm family. Don't need anyone else. I'll travel there. Film it all. Plan to meet people while there. Film that. That's my idea."
Robin Graves: "You have a half brother? What's his name? Do you know him? How old is he? and would he want to have anything to do with this?"
Jason Freeman: "Not sure on the age. Just pics. This may draw him out. But nothing as of now. I want to meet him. In the future for sure."
Robin Graves: "You have a name? Is he younger then you?"
Jason Freeman: "Paul White. Last I heard when my grandmothers' last husband called me. Same month as her first husband did. Charles Manson! He said Paul was in school in Oklahoma 3.5 years ago."
Robin Graves: "Getting confused on what you mean by 'first husband' and 'last husband' calling you? Wasn't her first husband Manson?"
Jason Freeman: "This is bad ass. Check this out. Milton Mooney claimed he was married to my grandmother. So that would be her last husband. Milton called the same month my Grandfather did; while I was working in the oil field four years ago this past summer. Yes, you see what I'm saying?"
Robin Graves: "Sync, yes and then Charlie called same day you were filming on 700 Club."
Jason Freeman: "Yes, Manson did call the same day we were filming. I treated the crew to a great meal in my home town of Dennison at the Dennison Yard. I've lost Milton's since that time due to changing phone carriers."
Very few people would know or even care – for that matter – but while filming for the 700 Club about growing up 'Manson's Grandson,' guess who spontaneously called? Yep, Charles Manson Sr. himself, on the phone with Jason (pictured above) in the middle of filming. Of course, the 700 Club found a good excuse to edit that part out of the production.
Stating, 'legal reasons' for editing it out of the interview; the synchronicity of those unique moments on the phone, which is ironic seeing that every other Tom, Dick and Harry peddle all Charlie's wares with immunity and impunity. More about the 'public domain' of marketing the product and name branded 'Manson' later.
Charles Manson Jr. birthday gift to Jason 1987 age 11
Robin Graves: "You said Bootsie was the one who made sure you got Christmas and birthday gifts. Meaning What? If she wasn't there, Jay wouldn't have done it himself?"
Jason Freeman: "No. Jay wouldn't off without a woman behind him, I believe. His head was torn to many ways. Having his family and daily life with his wife and son, that's what was real to him. Some of my personal questions will probably never be answered, I'll never know."
Jason related a funny story to me about when him and Max (pictured above, picking out the ol'Christmas Tree) watched the movie, 'Manson Family Vacation'. Mind you, they are watching a fictional comedy, lightly based on, and about, their All The Way Alive and Revolutionary still UNBROKEN grandfather and great grandfather's … what? It's confusing.
But put on those shoes now, understand who they are, and from where they stand. They are literally the 'Freeman Family' watching one, just one of the innumerable fictional stories marketed? Wait a minute; they are watching their surname being prostituted as 'public domain' for all the world to laugh at? For our entertainment, too amuse us?
I don't know, but just think about that . . .
Jason Freeman December 30th, 2015
"Started watching Manson family vacation. I'm about to (trucking) buy a $10,000 worth of equipment and roll myself. Then put my price tag on it for all the (slope-chokes) out there to buy. Sorry little (peeked) off. My boy and I just started watching it. That's exactly what I need to do. Let the world slow down and just go, live out of a tent eat food from the can, and hitchhike, and film everything, and everyone can (smoke a big fat spliff)!"

IV Generations: The Greatest Generation or (Silents) born 1925-1946; the Baby-Boomers or (Me Generation) born 1946-1964; Generation X or (Slacker Generation) born 1965-1980 & The Millennial's and/or (Y's) born after 1981.
The Millennial's and/or Y's don't really know very much about the Silents' sacrifices. The present youth considered to be 'Global-centric'; whose 'coming of age' was, and is, during the internet and terrorism. Those so desired 'intelligent work place tech-savvy' young adults who offer loyalty for reward. At the same time being ignorant and unaware of the consequences they will face in their own lives for having no legitimate knowledge, whatsoever, of all the rights their grandparents gave up for them. Maniacal men and women all the indoctrinated pray of the same predators programs.
Millennial's, the truth has been kept by the Silents, by the Me's, by the Slackers who only tried to tell you. You wouldn't listen. Maybe some Me's told you not to? Perhaps an X scared you? Let us try again: YOU need to know what happened to his rights, if you hope to survive. Not trying to scare you, but your, Air; your Trees; your Water and your Animals, are not UNLIMITED RESOURCES.
"You can't stop war, but you can redirect it. You can redirect it to the problem. The problem is pollution." -Charles Manson
Jason Freeman, January 2nd, 2016
"Watched the rest of the movie, I really enjoyed it. It had purpose and it was as real as it gets. People follow and want to be part of something. That young man was finally accepted. Good plot for the movie. They gave it a star and half. If they had major named actors it would have been a 3 star. No one wants to touch his story in the big lights. It was cool when the guy says don't say his name, people get freaked out. Then the guy yells it more. I had no clue that was going to turn out to be his boy."
3-13-2015 8:00pm – Shawn Moreland: "In Dec of 1975 Jay came to my house and asked me to move in with him in St. Clairsville. Like an idiot I did. My mom was so upset with me. Jay had a brother Jesse that lived in St. Clairsville with their mother Rosie. At Christmas I was not invited to Rosie's for dinner. I was told she didn't like me and didn't want me there. Ok fine. During that month I became pregnant with Jason.
I knew I missed a period and I didn't know what to do. Girls would come to the trailer for Jay and he didn't even care. I had to put up with this shit. New Years eve he left me and Wayne, Jasons elder half brother, alone. He was with another woman because she came to the house the next day. I was so humiliated.
Sometime in January, Jesse came over and told me that Jay wanted me out of there before he came home. I went to the neighbors and used the phone and called my friend Roseanne to come get me. The man that let me use the phone said that if I couldn't find a ride he would take me home himself. He said I didn't belong there with all the stuff that goes on in that place. I went home that day and never looked back."
He wanted me to abort Jason. No way. He was a self centered prick, lol. I am glad my son was never influenced by that family. My son is a better man than Jay could have ever been.
Robin Graves: "Whose father was Jesse's?"
Shawn Moreland: "Jack White. Jesse was a really nice kid."
Robin Graves: "Is Jack White still alive?"
Shawn Moreland: "Have no clue."
Robin Graves: "Did you say he had two sons?"
Shawn Moreland: "Who Jay?"
Robin Graves: "Jack White."
Shawn Moreland: "There was Jed and Jesse."
Robin Graves: "Jack White wanted you to abort Jason?"
Shawn Moreland: "No, Jay wanted me to."
Robin Graves: "Why?"
Shawn Moreland: "Somehow he found out I was pregnant he didn't want the child I guess.
Robin Graves: "Is that what he said? 'i don't want a kid right now?'
Shawn Moreland: "No I am just guessing. I don't really remember what all was said."
Robin Graves: "But he wanted you to abort? Why?"
Shawn Moreland: "I just know he did not want me to have the child."
Robin Graves: "But you don't know why? He said, 'get an abortion'?"
Shawn Moreland: "That is what he wanted me to do. I told him no. End of story. I wonder sometimes if he told his wife to get an abortion. Look I think Jay was just scared of having a child. He would have to grow up, he had no idea how to be a parent. He had no role models. I didn't really need him. I just took care of business. I was a lot stronger than him well I hope I have helped you out a little."
1-13-2016 1:11pm
Robin Graves: "Hello again"
Shawn Moreland: "I named Jason myself. Jay wasn't around so Jason has my maiden name Freeman."
Robin Graves: "It's kind of poetic that J-son's surname is 'freeman' all things considered . . ."
Shawn Moreland: "I guess."
Robin Graves: "Can't remember if I asked you before about Jay visiting CM. did you know they visited?"
Shawn Moreland: "They did not."
Robin Graves: "Did Jay ever express any sentiment to you of wanting to meet or know his own father?"
Shawn Moreland: "Yes he wanted to meet his dad"
Robin Graves: "Can you expand and tell me any stories about that that stands out in your memory? The reason I'm asking is I have information stating that they did have one visit approximately six months before Jay was found deceased."
Shawn Moreland: "I really wouldn't know about that."
Robin Graves: "So at birth he denied Jason was his . . . but by the age of eight he acknowledged that Jason was his? Did he have any explanation for his change of heart?"
Shawn Moreland: "He did not deny Jason to me. He told his mother and family that Jason was not his. I did not know this until Jason was a little older."
Robin Graves: "How did Jay react when you first told him you were carrying his child?"
Shawn Moreland: "I really don't remember. It really doesn't matter to me anymore."
Life inspiring, Art inspiring Life. – So 'Manson Family Vacation' ignited the drive in Jason to use that vision of the world's stages: As a positive motivational speaker and consultant for troubled youth; and to visit face to face with his grandfather – before he passes – in his own lifetimes quest to know thy self. He will visit his father's grave. He will find his long lost family members and the heritage of his ancestry, hopefully with your help. Anyone out there, who is reading this and can help, would be greatly appreciated. (Contact Jason – fightfreeman@gmail.com)

Robin Graves: "I want to add that, even without names. I didn't know that and probably most don't. Talk about putting chills into the piece . . . not that I am into that sort of thing but . . . coincidence?"
9:39pm – Jason Freeman: "Oh ya that's huge man. My mom knows who died first in order. It's huge man. Like I said, Manson plants first seed, and then she remarried right, had two more boys. All die young, before her! Fucked up. Charlie don't know any of this. Rosie was married six times. That's why I said her first husband and her last contacted me in the same thirty days. Fucking crazy for me out away from home man."
"This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you
that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses.
Now choose life, so that you and your children may live."
Royal Blood Family -vs- Blood Sucking Family
All Charles Manson's Children
Abstract Enigmas: Many people for one reason or another over the last four and a half decades, from all walks of life, have been showing up claiming to be Charlies offspring. On the official public record there are: Charles M. Manson Jr. (suicide) son born 1956 to Rosalie Jean Willis; Charles Luther Manson (died) 19th February 2007 (born) September 24th 1960 to Leona Rae 'Candy' Musser and Michael Brunner (estranged) son born 1968 to Mary Brunner.
Off the public record there are a host of other couldbe's, wouldbe's & wannabe's here acknowledged in no particular or definitive order: Zezozose Zadfrack Glutz son 1968 to Sadie Atkins; Ivan son 1967 to Sandra Good & Angel son 1970 to Linda Kasabian.
Charlie has been known to say, "They are all my children." In, 'Charles Manson Superstar,' Charles says, "Every time I get out, I get a woman and a kid, and then she's runs off . . . then the kid shows up twenty, thirty years later, fat and acting like his mother . . ."
And then there are those (who for lack of better words) are either infamous famous monopoly fortune seekers or perhaps self-diluted panoply delusional ego's who Charlies own words have claimed, "They are all my children." have come hunted, hunting back so inspired by him? Currently, people like, Matthew Roberts and his half sister, Evans-Bonyadi. (Charles Manson Is My Father: 'Woman Tells World Of Horrific Discovery' Mirror United Kingdom); and J.J. Brine and his partner Marquise. (They are descendants of Charles Manson. [54]. Wikipedia).
Roberts has arranged a number of events in the media from California to London reporting to be Charles Manson's biological son. Continuing to participate in publicized and paid events, depicting himself as related to Manson now years after Jason participated with him, donating his own blood (metaphorically) in effect; his spit, his DNA, for a test to prove Matthew's mother's claims.
Jason Freeman having swab taken for DNA
The test was carried out by CNN. It was 99.9% confirmed that they do not have, '…a common biological ancestry . . . Matthew Roberts was visibly shaken as though he had just been robbed…'
In the second episode of the very first season of, 'The Family Guy' there is a Manson. In the checkout line of the grocery story, every other month for 45 years, there is a Manson on the cover of the magazines. All the comedies, and tragedies, of this one man's family entertaining America in infinite gossips, it's enough to drive one mad, all this business of seeing stars (like being hit by a hammer) and Hollywood, California laws.
GOING TO CALIFORNIA DREAMING
Jason is also the co-author of the autobiographical book, 'Knocking Out The Devil'. He writes about the choice of the title in his blog, "…Seeing we as people knock the Devil from our lives daily. Some satanic followers embrace the 'Dark Side.' I don't and will not involve myself with that adventure. It's hard enough keeping the little demons out of my head I live with now. I thought it was a clear name for a book title. My grandfather thought different. He went on about how."
"You can't knock the devil out! He lives inside all of us. Sin will never die young man, you got to first die to yourself, man. Die to the flesh as God moves through you." (He laughs, ha ha ha.)"Knocking out the devil is silly. You're not in the Ring man." – Charlie Manson.
The book is dedicated to Jason's now deceased stepfather Dink (pictured above), which brings up two more 'Manson Family' secrets, oaths and promises made and now expired. Grandmother Rosaile bid Jason not to seek out his grandfather "…or that family." until she passes (which she did in 2009). Oddly enough, lifting the weight of the first promise and allowing Jason the little bit of freedom he needed to write Knocking Out the Devil published in 2012.
The second promise was to Jason's mother, in honor of her husband and Jason's Stepfather Dink; to not seek out his biological grandfather Charles Manson until his passing. Dink died February 26th, 2013 and Jason kept his word. Now free of all parental restrictions and vows honored, Jason is bound come hell or high water to meet his biological Grandfather in person.
At the age of 35, Jason Freeman Manson made a choice to speak out. To reclaim the roots of a Hollywood worldwide face that will never be forgotten. Half the world hates this man, the other half want to understand the man. Jason stands beside his grandfathers ecological movement and A.T.W.A. understanding of 'Mother Nature -vs- Man.' "Revolution against pollution – its the only solution." -Charles Manson
Jason's mother doesn't want him to meet his grandfather. Jason's grandfather has advised him not to visit but Jason isn't taking no for an answer. He is a fighter and a driven man in search of his roots. Witnessing on this subject he says to us, "God showed me the stage in 2011, as I cried in my gym looking for my next step. As I looked into my house from the gym, God opened my eyes that he stripped me from the love of the fight world to be with my family full time and to use my story to reach others off of the stage he built under me."
SUICIDE & SCHIZOPHRENIA
Did Charles Manson Jr. really commit suicide? And, is Charles Manson Sr. really a schizophrenic? There have been so many rumors and outright lies, distortions, fictions and disinformation regarding Jason's father's.
Mysterious stuff. Taboo in this society and culture. Family secrets and all the things people don't like to talk about, things that make us uncomfortable, things that some of us have even been forbidden to talk about.
"Family health history plays a part . . ." in what Freeman is about to do. Personal stuff, "continuing friendship and the interest in his [Charles Manson's] health as my family."
Jason's Parents: Charles Manson Jr. (aka Jay White) & Shawn Freeman
Jason has set several goals about going out, in search of his roots. Bootsie (pictured below) with Jason's brother Paul White and father Charles Manson Jr., are two family members Jason hopes to reunite with this year. – Possibly with the help of someone reading this – Not having seen them since his father's death has always left Jason with a lot of questions.
66% of the people who die by suicide do not leave a note. It has been reasoned that these people are, "so depressed. They figure no one would care or want to know why they killed themselves anyway."
Charles Manson was diagnosed with schizophrenia. Never mind what he thinks about that, right? "You know, a long time ago being crazy meant something. Nowadays everybody's crazy." – Charles Manson.
"Paranoid schizophrenia in the forties, there was only a few of us because they just invented those tags from some college somewhere and we were just a small group of people. But now there are many paranoid schizophrenias because all these these guys that are graduating from college that are readin' all these books, anything they can't understand is a paranoid schizophrenia."
"That's right – we could be among you right now and you might never even know it. The one time Hollywood did schizophrenia reasonably well was when they took a true story and proceeded to make up a lot of stuff, with a little movie you might have heard of called, 'A Beautiful Mind.' What's accurate is how, through much of the film, John Nash is pretty damn functional. He gets married, he graduates from Princeton . . . shit, those are things that most 'normal' people can't even manage. For a long time, nobody suspects there's anything wrong with him. That's because schizophrenics aren't necessarily drooling, twitching blobs of humanity – it can actually be really hard to tell when they're having an episode. A lot of the symptoms of paranoia can be mistaken for simple social awkwardness. The only difference is that I also happen to think cameras are following me everywhere, which I'm probably not going to tell you about, and if I did, you would probably think I'm merely stoned, because people absolutely have."
How we treat our mentally ill in a society has been termed: 'Trail-em, Nail-em & Jail-em.' It has been said that, "…the worth of a society can be measured by the manner in which it treats its weakest member." Or, to paraphrase Hubert H. Humphrey's last public speech, "…the moral test of government is how it treats those at the dawn of life; those at the dusk of life and those in the shadows of life.' Metaphors for: 'The children, the elderly and the handicapped.'
Do the readers have any idea or concern, whatsoever, for how many 'professional' : Councilors; Psychologists; Psychiatrists, Attorneys and Doctors have violated their own code of ethics and morals; or of how many, conflicts of interests, concerning Charles Manson's constitutional rights and human rights, have taken place over that last 45 years?

Beach Boy, Mike Love, has just published a book hoping to cash in on all the big banking done on the boogie man 'MANSON' name – While the 2nd Season of Aquarius with the X-Files star has been recently canceled – And TODAY "Judge Deals Blow to Former Manson Family Member's Last Bid For Parole."
POST STATEMENT:
Are there any attorney's reading this who could shock the Court's conscience about all these travesties of justice?
Charles Manson's last parole hearing was very quickly DENIED and ended, by a violation of 'doctor patient' confidentiality. 'The Hippocratic Oath' : "What I may see or hear in the course of the treatment or even outside of the treatment in regard to the life of men, which on no account one must spread abroad, I will keep to myself holding such things shameful to be spoken about."
For every law, if need be, there is always in the hallways of law and order, an amendment to that law, just as for every rule, there is or, was or, will ever be, in the "hallways of the always" exceptions to that same rule, for example: "Public health concerns outweigh the individuals rights to confidentiality."
No one will level on the line, nobody of it is worth.

The well-being of Jason's grandfather is the primary concern these days. How a Nation treats it's convicts, it's elderly, it's mentally handicapped is the issue. Jason is seeking legal professionals interested in not only protecting but in regaining his grandfather's rights; and his own rights to his biological surname and next-of-kin rights, seeking pro bono legal aid. Meaning: the burden carried (for the public good). Someone well versed in almost all fields of law: Constitutional rights; civil rights law; criminal law; family law; mental health law; intellectual law and entertainment law.

This little collection of verses, read by my British buddy John Hutch, was composed by me in about an afternoon. The animation and editing took a bit longer. I started building the puppets in 2013 and was finally finished in early 2014 with all the work. So, put your kids in front of the computer, and let the madness begin!!


Today's children may be the first generation with a shorter life expectancy than their parents. MOVE1 community is an organisation started on social media aimed at getting children to be physically active. #move1 hour a day to make the difference of a lifetime.
There are plenty of opportunities in and around Chelford to make sure that everyone (not just kids!) are able to be active for an hour a day. We're bombarded with information on all the good health reasons why we should do this but the most important reason is that it's often just great, cheap fun for all the family (and the pets).
We have loads of footpaths, a MUGA, green spaces to play in, trees to climb, sports clubs, swimming pools, leisure centres, the Scouting organisations and a National Park on our doorstep.
Here's a few tips from Bristol University's professor of exercise and health sciences, Ken Fox, to make exercise fun for all the family.
1. Walk or cycle to and from school with the kids as often as possible.
5. Take the dog for a walk. If you don't have one of your own, ask to borrow a neighbour's or friend's dog and take it for a walk.
6. Support your kids in sports, clubs or any other activities that may interest them. Joining a weekend club sport ensures commitment to a team and regular exercise. Find all kinds of sporting facilities in your area.
9. Try a beach holiday. When they hit the sand, children find a multitude of ways to exercise, including games, swimming and plenty of running around. Or try an activity-based holiday.
10. The National Parks website has lists of events such as guided walks and children's fun days, for fresh ideas for active days out.

Thinking of a visit to Asheville, NC? Wait, before you book anything, look into Bryson City, NC. It's about 3 hours west of Asheville, so you'll still get to experience the beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains, but it is a little more laid back and outdoorsy. The center of town is the classic picture of mom 'n pop stores, antiques shops, family-owned restaurants and ice cream parlors. It's refreshing on a whole new level. Actually, locals and visitors alike repeatedly said that Bryson is what Asheville was 10-12 years ago before all the magazine write-ups, Top 10 lists and so on.
The Tuckasegee River is the focal point of downtown and is the heart of all outdoor activity in Bryon City. Kayaking, rafting, tubing, fishing…the list goes on and on. If you'd like to take a break from hiking the surrounding mountain trails for a day but still crave outdoor adventures, you won't be bored. There's so much to do. We spent the afternoon walking on the river rocks with Stella. She's not a water dog by any means (she avoids water when she can), and even she seemed to enjoy hopping around on them.
We rented a cabin about 10 mins outside of town, up in the mountains. It took us a good 2 hours (yes, I know, pathetic city girls) of being lost to find it but, just look at it. It's like something out of a travel brochure. (Well, this picture doesn't do it justice. Unfortunately, my camera was on its last legs that weekend and discoloring/overexposing/blurring everything. Grrr.). I admit, I've never stayed in a cabin in the woods before. Uhh, it was fun? Ok, pros and cons – I didn't like the bugs. Man, I really didn't like the bugs. Big flying things called bumbles kept trying to get inside. One did and we spent an hour freaking out. BUT, it was soooo peaceful there and I loved hearing all the strange wildlife sounds and seeing a gazillion stars in the night sky. BUT, it was not fun trying to find the cabin and certain weekend pastimes like playing bocce ball were a little hard when you're on a mountain. The balls never quite stopped rolling.
The only good place to play was the dirt road leading to the cabin so the balls kept rolling right back down the hill.
Oy vey. Wellll, that game certainly didn't last long.
Bryson City also has the distinguished honor of being where the huge train crash scene from the Harrison Ford/Tommy Lee Jones' hit movie, The Fugitive, was filmed. The crew left the bus and train behind when filming wrapped and, although they've rusted over time, they're still there for you to reminisce about how great that film was.
Then there's the The Great Smoky Mountains Railroad. You can choose which destination you want to visit (Nantahala Gorge or along the Tuckasegee River). We opted for the Tuckasegee River excursion which lasted 4 hours, with plenty of time allotted for visiting the town of Dillsboro. Our guide on the excursion was fantastic. He grew up deep in the mountains so he taught us the correct way to pronounce "Appalachia" (it sounds just like apple-at-cha). I highly recommend setting aside time to ride the railroad.
1. We all like to take holiday weekend getaways and often worry how crowded smaller towns get, but that's not the case with Bryson City. Yes, there are more people milling about town but, even during a holiday weekend, Bryson City is not over-crowded. We visited Bryson for 4th of July, and then visited Asheville for Labor Day. Hands down, I'd go back to Bryson. It's a more enjoyable experience. No long lines, parking is plentiful, and people aren't hurried or stressed out.
2. Tickets to the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad excursion can be a bit to swallow – it's $51 for adults and $29 for kids 2-12 yrs old – but I thought it was worth every penny. I recommend booking a ticket in an air-conditioned train car, especially if you're visiting during the hot summer months. Even though Bryson City is in the mountains, it still can get very humid at times during the summer.


Charlie Sheen is having a rough time paying child support for four of his children.
According to the 52-year-old actor, he's had a "significant reduction in his earning, and is in a "dire financial crisis" with less than $1 million to his name.
Though that sounds liked a pretty juicy number to us, it probably isn't much for Sheen, especially considering the whooping fortunes that some of his fellow celebrities in the entertainment industry are making—like 19-year-old "self-made" billionaire Kylie Jenner or his replacement, actor Ashton Kutcher, with over $200 million in his bank account.
While Charlie Sheen hasn't found much success on Hollywood in recent years, some other famous folks aren't necessarily good at managing their wealth. Whatever the reason is, wild spending days are definitely over for the celebrities on this list!

Robert Pattinson vs. Kit Harington… let the duel begin. Recasting news!


The expression, "I've god your back," is very popular among Soldiers. It implies that the other person is going to make sure no harm comes to you from a weak point. This allows you the confidence to attack the enemy with a full frontal assault without fear. The ultimate force in the universe makes this same declaration to you. God Himself "has your back." Stand strong against the spiritual enemy attempting to attack your faith.
Prayer: Lord, you are my shield and strong tower.

U.S.D.A. lifts 2019 ending stocks projections
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Agriculture, in its Oct. 11 World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report, raised its projected 2019 corn, soybean and wheat carryover from September.
Corn carryover on Sept. 1, 2019, was projected at 1,813 million bus, up 39 million bus, or 2.2%, from the September forecast but down 327 million bus, or 15%, from 2,140 million bus as the 2018 estimate, which was raised 138 million bus, or 7%, from September.
Soybean carryover on Sept. 1, 2019, was projected at 885 million bus, up 40 million bus, or 4.7%, from September and up 102% from 438 million bus as the 2018 estimate, which was raised 43 million bus, or 10%, from the September estimate.
Mostly minor changes were made in the wheat supply-and-demand balance sheet, with most adjustments related to changes in prior U.S.D.A. Grain Stocks and Small Grains Summary reports. The carryover of all wheat on June 1, 2019, was projected at 956 million bus, up 21 million bus, or 2.3%, from the September projection but down 143 million bus, or 13%, from 1,099 million bus in 2018.
On a wheat-by-class basis, hard red winter wheat carryover on June 1, 2019, was projected at 424 million bus, up 15 million bus from September based on a 5-million-bu decline in domestic use and a 10-million-bu drop in exports. Soft red winter carryover was projected at 170 million bus, down 3 million bus from last month as an 8-million-bu reduction in total supply was partially offset by a 5-million-bu drop in domestic use. Hard red spring wheat carryover was forecast at 261 million bus, up 9 million bus from September based on a like increase in total supply. White wheat carryover was projected at 57 million bus, down 8 million bus from September based on a 10-million-bu increase in exports only partially offset by a 2-million-bu increase in total supply. Durum carryover was raised 8 million bus to 44 million bus based on a like increase in total supply.
The U.S.D.A. 2019 carryover projections for corn and all wheat were below the average of trade expectations, but the soybean forecast was above the trade average.

It's kind of weird seeing the recap close with Vegeta's tense declaration against Beerus only to cut to the bright title card with the cheerful theme song playing in the background. There's more than a little mood whiplash there.
In any event, Vegeta begins his anger-fueled assault in earnest. While it gets off to a rocky start, he actually does start to land some solid hits Beerus actually seems to feel said hits and, judging by his reaction, is legitimately caught off guard by Vegeta's success.
It was a great moment for the Saiyan Prince. He got to boast a bit and achieve success in battle that even his arch-rival was unable to. It was also a refreshing change of pace after seeing the heroes make no progress in their resistance against this particular foe. As one would expect, though, it is short lived. Beerus reveals that he is only using a tenth of his power, at which point, he promptly knocks Vegeta out with a light flick.
Earth appears to be doomed. Then again, the food is pretty good. As such, Beerus offers one last chance at survival. The god challenges Oolong to a game of rock, paper, scissors. Why Oolong? Well, he's pink like Buu. Oddly enough, Beerus mistakes the two for being the same species (as they're both pink) but he knows that Oolong is a pig. He even refers to him as "Mr. Pink Pig". It's over analyzing a bit that was probably more concerned with being funny than consistent, but still.
You can't help but feel bad for Oolong as that is a lot of pressure to put on a person. He's reluctant to say the least, but he has no real choice.
Beerus' claim that it takes a generous person to offer a second chance is likely meant to be simple self-aggrandizing, but in this case, he's not entirely wrong. For a being that isn't known for being patient, he's showing quite a bit of it with them. Also of note, unlike trying to challenge the god to a straight up straight fist-fight, Oolong's chances of victory are as good as Beerus' here. The other planets that Beerus visited would have considered themselves very fortunate to be given that much leeway.
The situation is played for laughs to a certain extent, but at the same time, there's a lot of tension as the stakes are as high as they've ever been.
After two draws, Oolong loses. As Puar points out, Oolong was an idiot for putting out the same thing three rounds in a row, but that's just armchair quarterbacking. Per the rules of the challenge, Beerus declares the Earth a goner.
It was a surprisingly grim moment as everyone stood helpless to do anything despite their combined might.
As has been the case so many times before, Goku arrives just in time. His arrival is portrayed as triumphant, but it's an odd subversion as Goku knows he has no chance of beating Beerus and shows no interest in even attempting to challenge the god on that level. He does, however, convince Beerus to delay Earth's execution by offering a chance to help find the Super Saiyan God.
It's true, Goku and Vegeta know nothing of it, but Shenlong might; and as it happens, the dragon balls are all right there. Of course, even the kais don't seem to know anything of it, but it's as good a plan as any and Beerus agrees to give them one last chance, saying that if this doesn't pan out, he's going to destroy the whole solar system. Granted, that threat would probably carry more weight if any of the other planets actually had life on them, but that's neither here nor there.
One little highlight was Goku wishing Bulma a happy birthday and apologizing for forgetting her gift. It was kind of heartwarming. Not only is that the sort of thing Goku would do, but it shows how he values his friendship with her.
If the episode has a weakness, it's Pilaf. Basically, he and his crew book it as they don't want to get caught in the big fight. It is something they'd do, but it renders their presence in the show almost pointless. You could have cut them out entirely and the plot wouldn't have been affected in the slightest. Maybe he'll play a bigger part later, we'll have to see.
This was another really strong outing for the series. It was engaging and had a good balance of everything. The episode did a great job of building up tension, gave us a great action sequence, and all the emotional notes hit. It appears the series has found its footing and it'll be interesting to see where things go.

Meet Diversity Fellow: James Williams
apsportseditors
By Adam Coleman
James Williams is a digital sports producer with the Southern California News Group.
What led you to get into sports journalism?
I was on the high school football team at my high school (Downey High School) I was on the team, I didn't play. I was too short. But I just fell in love with sports. The whole team atmosphere, everything about it. I wanted to be a photo major, graphic design. I didn't know what I wanted to do coming out of high school. I was always kind of told I was a good writer. One summer, I'm just kind of like 'What am I going to do?' I said 'You know what? I want to get back into the sports scene a little bit. People always said I was good at writing so let's combine the two and see what happens and join the newspaper at my city college (Editor in Chief at Riverside City College).' I've been running hard since then.
What are your main duties with the Southern California News Group?
I'm a digital sports producer. I publish stories through the website, upload to social media, run the social media account, Facebook, Twitter. We're working on Instagram, getting that going. A lot of behind the scenes work really.
What led you to be interested in the Diversity Fellowship?
My sports editor Tom Moore, he kind of encouraged me to go forward and do that. I was like 'Man, there is no way I'm going to get this.' But I applied for it, I got it and I'm glad I did. It's an experience you can't pass up. Being about to travel and do those kinds of things for the first time is something you can't pass up.
You're currently going to school as well. What is the balance like between being a full-time student and full-time journalist?
I'm going to Long Beach State, majoring in journalism of course. Getting through the grind really. Thought about joining the newspaper on campus but being a full-time student and working full time for the Southern California News Group limits my options. I only go twice a week because my commute is two hours because of the L.A. traffic. It's a grind and there's not a lot of time off. A lot of people think I'm crazy for the two-hour drive but that's my me time to be honest. That's my time to kind of have a moment to myself. It's a grind and a lot of people think I'm crazy but when you know what you want to do and where you want to go, you're not going to let anything cut you short.
What is your dream beat?
It would probably be an NBA beat like the Lakers. It's always drama and it's always something going on. It's just more to it. It gives you more of an opportunity to tell stories. It's something about the NBA. It's just always something. It's always fresh.
What do you enjoy the most about being in journalism?
Every day is different. There are people where they drive to work and they're sitting down at their desk. Nothing against that. I sit at a desk too. But they're sitting at a desk and they know what they're doing every day. They know what they have going on. We do too to a certain degree but at the same time, when that breaking news happens, when that rush happens, it's just something about it. It's like that rush. That's what I love most about it. You don't know what every day is going to bring. It could be a boring day, a light day or you could have more things to write about than you know what to do with.
What do you want people to know about you aside from your career in journalism?
It's like I say when people ask me questions like that. If I wasn't doing journalism, I'd still be doing a lot of the same stuff I'd be doing anyway. I'd still be on social media. I'd still be watching sports. I'd have to pay to go to some of the games I get to go and cover but video games, hanging out with my family, my girlfriend. I'm just a normal dude. Nothing special. No crazy hobbies or anything. My hobby is work but it doesn't feel like work.

Q: What can I do with => PATH/TO/REPOSITORY folder? I have just found the folder REPOSITORY in my local disk with the path:

C:\PATH\TO\REPOSITORY

It is huge (4GB), considering the few repositories I have and I don't have many that I have cloned.
Besides, the files that are inside are completely unknown by me like:

*

*notocjksc.tar (200.000 KB)

*pst-geo.tar (139.567 KB)

*cbgreek.tar

*biber-darwin-x86_64.tar

To name a few, actually I have more than 4000 files...
So I have no idea what those files are there for, as well as whether or not I could delete them, or some of them, to free some space from my disk.
Thanks

A:
as well as whether or not I could delete them, or some of them, to free some space from my disk.

If you do not need those files, you can delete them, but it will impact only the local disk, not the remote repository.
I would check in each repository the remote URL
 git remote -v

And check on the remote side if the same huge files were pushed or not.
Then you would need to decide if those files should stay in those remote repositories or not.

Q: Data manipulation per group in pandas I am working with a dataset structured like this:
import pandas as pd

dat = pd.DataFrame({'id': [1,1,1,2,3,4,5,5], 'period':[1,2,3,1,2,1,2,4], 'dsti':[0.1,0.2,0.5,0.2,0.3,0.3,0.4,0.2]})
>>>dat
   id  period  dsti
0   1       1   0.1
1   1       2   0.2
2   1       3   0.5
3   2       1   0.2
4   3       2   0.3
5   4       1   0.3
6   5       2   0.4
7   5       4   0.2

I would like to group this table by the ndg variable and remove all the observations that have only one entry. Moreover, for each of the customers I need to calculate the difference of dsti between periods divided by the amount of months: dsti2 = (dsti_period_n - dsti_period_(n-1))/(period_n - period_(n-1)). E.g. for customer number 5 the new variable should be (0.2-0.4)/(4-2).
The final dataset should look like:
    id  period  dsti dsti2
0    1       1   0.1  0.1
1    1       2   0.2  0.3
2    5       2   0.4 -0.1

Any ideas how to do this rather puzzling transformation?

A: Use:
#filter out unique rows by id
dat = dat[dat['id'].duplicated(keep=False)].copy()
#get difference per id
df = dat.groupby('id').diff(-1)
#division for new column, df is assigned to dat, because same index in both
dat['dsti2'] = df['dsti'].div(df['period'])
#remove missing rows by dsti2 column
dat = dat.dropna(subset=['dsti2'])
print (dat)
   id  period  dsti  dsti2
0   1       1   0.1    0.1
1   1       2   0.2    0.3
6   5       2   0.4   -0.1

9. Can I stay the night?
"Alice, I've already told you three times the part where I explained to Edward I loved him! Do I really have to do it again?" I complained. I was giddy the first time I told her, now I was just irritated.
"You saw it anyway Alice, give Bella a rest." Edward told her, no doubt taking pity on my tired vocal chords.
"You saw it? Were you spying on us? Peeping Tom!" I pointed my finger at her, receiving a giggle from her and myself. "Seriously, how did you see it?"
"Well, some of our kind have special qualities, mine just happens to be the ability to see the future. So I literally did see you professing your love, I just liked hearing you say it in person." She said. I must have looked amazed, because she continued. "Didn't Edward tell you any of that?"
"No…. You've been holding out on me!" I accused him lightly.
"You barely found out the truth three hours ago! I'm sorry if I didn't get too specific," He rolled his eyes.
"Do you have a special ability?" I asked him.
"Actually, everyone in this room has a special ability."
"Really? What are they?" I asked, fully intrigued.
"As you just heard, Alice can see the future, but only based off of the decisions people make. So if someone changes their mind, the future will shift. Jasper has the ability to influence the emotions of those around him, as well as pick up what your feeling." He paused noticing my blush. I didn't want to think about the fact that when we walked in a couple of hours ago, I had been fully lusting after Edward from that earth shattering kiss he had given me. I just hoped Jasper didn't pick up on that. I snuck in a glance to Jasper, and was defeated at the grin that was on his face, confirming my worst nightmare. Edward chuckled beside me.
"Why are you laughing?" I asked him, still mortified at my recent discovery.
"Nothing, Jasper was just enlightening me on your reactions from earlier. I must say, I'm flattered," He shot me his stunning crooked smile, the kind that can make me do just about anything.
"I didn't hear anything, what are you talking about?" I was confused.
"Well, my ability is a little bit more invasive.... I can read minds."
OH MY GOSH! This was mortifying! The things that I have thought about him, or doing to him while around him…. Oh gosh, this was embarrassing! I turned about 10 shades of pink and red before he cleared his throat.
"So, that bad huh?" Alice said.
"You seem to be a bit embarrassed." Edward helped her out.
"You should know, you can read my mind!" I said as I buried my face in my hands.
"Love, I can read everyone's mind… but yours. You're my only exception.
I've tried, believe me, to hear even just a whisper from your mind, but its silent. It is like you're blocking me out," he said as he wrapped his arm around my back. I slowly lifted my head up, looking at him.
"Really? You can't hear me at all? Is there something wrong with me?" I asked.
"First, you're upset because you think I can hear your mind, now you're upset because I can't?" he asked utterly confused.
"Well, no. But why am I the exception?"
"We have a theory than when you're human, you have traits that are very strong, so when you turn into a vampire, that trait is intensified. You seem to be a type of shield that can block out mental intrusions. Your shield is very strong for being a human, however. We've never seen that before."
"So, what your saying is…I'm like an X-Men? I have mutant powers or something?" Jasper couldn't help but burst out laughing at my comment.
"Umm, no. Just like some people are more intuitive than others, or more charismatic than others, you're just more closed off than other people." Alice chirped.
"Gee thanks." I said dryly.
"It's not a bad thing Bella. It makes sense though, Esme had always told us how you often kept to yourself, and always seemed distant with other kids your age, aside from your friends. It would make sense that your mind has built up some kind of shield." She said, making me feel a little bit better.
"I'm okay with that for now. So tell me more about Axton?" I asked. I really wanted to know what his story was. As far as I knew, he was a shape shifter that has been really nice to me, despite the fact he's out for vengeance against the Cullen's, and his sister was killed somehow. I wanted to know more.
"What do you want to know?" Edward asked, everyone tensing up at my question. This obviously was a touchy subject for them.
"You said he's a shape shifter, what does he turn in to?"
"He is a type of wolf. There's a group of shape shifter near Forks, they're also wolves, but they are different breeds."
"So he's a werewolf?" I was getting pretty interested with all this new information I was getting.
"No, not a werewolf, he's a shape shifter that turns into a breed of wolf. Technically a werewolf is a child of the night, and can only turn into one on a full moon. Shape shifters can change anytime they want. But sometimes they can change involuntarily, such as if they get angry enough." Edward explained.
"So they 'hulk' out?" Watching all those comic book movies with Jacob back home was definitely influencing my absorption of all this.
"I guess you could say that."
"Okay, so Alice said in the beginning that your other brother hit his sister in a car accident and she died. Is that true?" Axton had alluded to foul play, and I wanted the truth.
"Not entirely. That's what the crime scene depicted, but it was a lot more graphic than that." Edward said, clenching his teeth. He obviously did not think I was ready to hear the truth, but I wanted answers, and I wanted them now.
"Tell me…please?" I persisted.
"There are times when a human's blood call to us stronger than others, we call it 'La Tua Cantante'; the blood sings to us, I guess you could say. It's so strong, that its nearly impossible to resist, I only know of one person that has been able to resist their singer…" Edward whispered.
"Who?" I asked, wanting to know.
"Me." He said quietly.
"Really? You didn't kill your singer? How did that happen?" I asked.
"I fell in love with her." He said. He was in love before. I couldn't help but feel my heart breaking.
"Oh." Was all I managed to say.
"Bella, I'm talking about you." He smiled at me.
"OH!" I was instantly blissful.
"I don't see why you should be happy that your blood calls to me the way heroin calls to an addict. You don't understand how dangerous it is for you." He frowned.
"But I'm still alive Edward, you resisted. That alone is remarkable, you even said so yourself. Okay, so continuing on, you have singers, what does that have to do with Axton's sister?" I asked, getting back to my original question.
"Our brother Emmett was on his way back from town, he had decided to buy Rosalie, our sister, a vintage car as a gift and was returning to the house. As he was at a stop sign, the car across from him had its windows down. The wind had happened to blow through the intersection straight towards my brother, and the scent hit him like a ton of bricks. It's extremely rare for any one of our kind to refrain from our singers, and unfortunately for him and her, he didn't have the strength to resist. He didn't plan it, he just acted, and the bloodlust within him took over. It wasn't until she was dead that he realized what he had done. He called Rose, and they made the scene look like a car accident, her body flying through the windshield. It wasn't until the next day that we realized her brother was a shape shifter. It seems that the trauma of losing his sister caused the change within him to respond. We believe that had he never experienced such a trauma, he never would have shifted. But you're either born with the gene or your not, and he just so happened to be born with it and the trauma of losing his sister caused his body to react. He followed his new nose and instincts to our house and quickly figured out what we were. Since then he's been trying to figure out how to exact revenge, but he knows that he'd lose in a fight. He followed us to Prague actually; he's not really attending the University by the way. He won't accept our apology and sincere regret over what happened, but then again, we can't blame him. Emmett has lived with the shame and regret of what happened, but he's not the kind that lets things keep him down, so he and Rosalie have been on an extended honeymoon, after another vow renewal. He will never forget what happened, it will forever be with him, but he's managed to move on. Axton can't move on, he just seems to become more angry and bitter as each year passes." Edward explained to me, giving me a few minutes to let it all soak in.
It was a lot to take in, all at once, but it was all seeping in slowly. I understood Axton's misery over losing his sister, but to dwell on it and refuse to move on, it was hard for me to really feel sorry for for him. I wasn't saying that it was okay what Emmett did, but at least Emmett knew that what he did was awful, but he was repentant and he found a way to move on. Like Edward said, Emmett would always remember and feel remorse, but you can adapt and move on. I didn't want to judge Axton, or how he still felt, because there was no telling how I would feel in this sort of situation, but it was weird to hear of his extensive hate towards the Cullen's, when he had been perfectly nice to me since I had met him on the plane.
To be honest, he was my first friend in Prague. And as much as he had scared and upset me at my apartment earlier, I still felt a warmth for him in me heart. There was something about him that drew me in. I felt his pain for losing his sister, for having to deal with such a life changing situation as becoming a wolf, for having the word you thought you knew turn upside down and reveal to you the most mythical of creatures as truth. It was a lot for a young person to go through, especially alone. Despite the rage emanating from his face as he warned me about the Cullen's earlier, I still saw the tender, caring guy I met on the plane, and the artistic, passionate man I ran into at the castle. Even though he was destined to be an rage disposed shape shifter, he didn't choose that life, and I couldn't blame him for his actions or attitude. I could disagree, but not judge.
"Did you hear me Bella?" Alice asked, gently touching my arm. It seemed in my mental uploading of information; I had completely ignored what Alice was telling me.
"Oh, I'm sorry no. I was just thinking about what Edward just said, it was a lot to take in, but I get it." I said.
"I was just saying how you'll get to meet our other siblings, Emmett and Rosalie, this weekend. They'll be flying in from their vacation in Africa. It will be so much fun to be all together again. And Esme was saying that she and Carlisle might fly up and visit too." Alice chatted quickly.
"I can't wait to meet the rest of your family." I genuinely said, smiling in encouragement at Edward. Since he told me about Emmett and Axton's sister, he had seemed withdrawn, almost like he expected me to run screaming. But I understood that just like there are accidents and problems in the human world, Vampires and Shape shifters have their own degree of problems and accidents.
Alice continued the night retelling stories of their family, recounting the hilarious wrestling matched between Emmett, Jasper, and Edward, the practical jokes they all have played on each other, the days spent playing chess with Edward , each piece in the same spot, until Alice saw who would win. It was all very entertaining. But the evening wasn't complete until Edward had dropped off at my apartment and had ended my day with a breathtaking question.
We were standing in front of my still damaged door, deciding that tomorrow I would call and get it fixed, when Edward surprised me with an unexpected question.
"Seeing as your door frame is ruined, and the locks are not doing a good enough job of keeping you safe, would you be against the idea of me staying here, with you, for tonight. I don't want to take any chances with your safety. I've just found the love of my life, my soul mate some would say, and I'm not ready to lose her yet." He grinned down at me. I almost swooned.

Former Northridge Cadillac Property Sold for Development
A Northridge property that housed a long-time San Fernando Valley Cadillac dealership has been sold for $5.7 million to a Beverly Hills developer. David Schwartzman, chief executive of Harridge Development Group, will likely redevelop the 3.3-acre site at 8350–8454 Reseda Blvd. into a mixed-use project, said broker Lynwood Fields, a co-founder of Madison Partners of West Los Angeles. "He played around with a bunch of ideas but will probably put in some mixture of retail and residential," said Fields, who represented Schwartzman in the off-market transaction that closed March 27. Calls placed to Harridge were not returned. However, according to the company's website, it has completed developments in Hollywood and Silverlake and targets "vacant or underutilized land sites" for residential and mixed-use development. The seller was Lehr Properties LP of Newport Beach, owned by the family of H. Neill Lehr, who opened a Cadillac dealership in San Fernando in 1948 and moved to the site at the northeast corner of Roscoe Boulevard in the 1960s. The property was later occupied by Rydell Cadillac. Currently three tenants occupy the site, which was featured in the 2011 movie "Drive." The most prominent tenant is the Picture Car Warehouse at 8400 Reseda Blvd., which leases vintage autos to the film industry. Development will begin after the current leases expire in about 18 months, Fields said. Brokers David Young and Chad Gahr of NAI Capital of Encino represented the seller in the deal.

Newsroom | Collaborative Care
A new medical center for Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas members is ready to offer advanced primary care in Katy, Texas. It's one of 10 Sanitas Medical Centers planned in the Houston and Dallas areas.
Expanding Access to Advanced Primary Care
One in five Texans don't know where to go if they're sick or need health advice. Many who do have a regular place for care say it's hard to get there.
This reality exposes a big gap in the health care system. Having a convenient medical home can be the key to getting comprehensive and holistic care.
"Primary care takes the lead of the health care of a patient," says Dr. Adriana Higuera, a family medicine physician. "We play a very important role in prevention and coordination of patient health."
For the past four years, Higuera has practiced at medical centers operated by Sanitas for Florida Blue members. She recently moved to Houston to help address the primary care need for Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas members as Sanitas' regional medical director.
Sanitas operates nearly 30 integrated medical centers in the United States serving more than 200,000 patients. They specialize in an approach to primary care that looks at patients holistically with a comprehensive team of medical and other health care professionals to coordinate care.
"It offers the opportunity to practice medicine the way it should be," Higuera says of this approach. "It makes our job more efficient, so we can really concentrate on providing good quality of care for our patients."
That approach will be beneficial for Texas, where primary care doctors can be hard to find. In 2017, it took an average of 12 days for someone in Dallas to get an appointment with a primary care physician. In Houston, the average wait was 21 days.
And those wait times are projected to get longer because of a shortage of primary care physicians throughout the state. So, people turn to more expensive options, like urgent care clinics and emergency rooms. Or, worse, they don't seek help at all.
"It's important for us as a payer to look at all aspects of the health care system," says Dr. Esteban Lopez, CMO of clinical strategy and innovation with the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Plans in Illinois, Montana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas. "If there are gaps in some of those aspects, there may be an opportunity for us to fill those."
Through the collaboration with BCBSTX, Sanitas will open 10 medical centers in Harris and Dallas counties — where the BCBSTX member population is growing while the number of available primary care doctors is shrinking.
"The ability to have these clinics, especially in communities where there may be a physician shortage, allows our members to have access to some of the best care possible," Lopez says.
More than care
Every center will be open seven days a week with extended hours, making it easier for people to make an appointment without missing work. Larger centers will feature in-house labs and have X-ray and ultrasound capabilities — meaning patients only need to go one place for routine care.
The centers will reflect the culture and diversity of Dallas, where more than 1 million people speak Spanish, and Houston, where more than 1.5 million are Spanish speakers. Bilingual doctors and staff will provide all clinical services.
BCBSTX customer service representatives will be on site to coordinate non-clinical aspects of care and answer questions in English and Spanish about enrollment, Medicare and other questions related to health insurance.
"Sanitas by definition is a clinic that prides itself on being culturally competent to the patients they're serving in the community," Lopez says. "Patients will find it to be a welcoming place where they can speak to the doctor in a language that they prefer and the doctor will understand their cultural nuances."
Another big gap in the health care system is that doctors and hospitals usually get paid for each service they provide. They're generally not rewarded for making sure patients are connected with the care and resources they need.
"These providers will be reimbursed on delivering extra value to you," says Dr. Dan McCoy, president of BCBSTX. "Better customer service, managing your overall health costs, making sure you have preventative health care services. The idea being it's not how many patients you can see in a day, it's how much better value they can deliver you for your health care dollar."
The value-based collaboration between Sanitas and BCBSTX reinforces a shared commitment to a coordinated, integrated approach to care.
"When the health of a patient is fragmented, it's not the best care for the patient and could be counter-productive," Higuera says.
The Sanitas centers will have patient care coordinators who connect the dots for patients who do need more advanced care. They establish two-way communication with specialty physicians and hospitals and work with patients to establish appointments so their experience getting care is smoother.
Doctors will start seeing Blue Cross and Blue Shield members at the Sanitas locations Jan. 1, 2020. Until then, community members are welcome to stop by the new locations and participate in community events.
Higuera, who lived in Texas, before her time in Florida, says she's looking forward to bringing the Sanitas approach to primary care to the state. "It's something people were needing."
