I recall Feldman speaking out against MJ when he was on trial back in the early 2000's. I guess his stance must have changed recently. I don't like that these guys released this documentary while MJ is dead. I mean what's the point? You're only going to be hurting his kids who I'm sure are either pissed off or going to have to go through their own therapy now.
It's not like the Cosby situation where the guy is still here and can still go to jail.
I'm no lawyer, but if MJ settled this case (which I believe he did).. how is it that these kids can talk about it? Wouldn't part of that settlement mean they can no longer bring it up? Or was their a statute of limitations or something around that?
The kid he settled with in a civil suit for 20+ million was Gavin Arviso, who has all but gone into hiding I think, not these kids.

Who cares.
A few things on the timing:
1. They really didn't seem to want justice in the form of MJ actually going to jail. Robson said that Jail + Michael just didn't work in his mind, and there was just more reason to remain loyal while Jackson was living.The main justice they seem to be after is making up for the injustice caused by their former lies/perjury - to the kids that did speak up in the past.
2. The perjury, and the statute of limitations on it (not sure what that is), could have been a factor. You're not going to lie under oath and then turn around and recant when you might be eligible for felony charges at that time.

The timing of this whole thing documentary is so strange. It's why I can't trust it myself either.
PS - the "This is It" documentary was pretty good. Wish he could have lived long enough to give us that performance he was putting together. It would have been epic.

1. These guys have been on the outskirts of fame in the sleazy Hollywood life since kids
2. At the risk of sounding crass, we're in the #metoo era where anybody who claims victim to a famous person is hailed a hero
3. Netflix loves money. 10 years since jacko death time to reboot his name as they've done with other people become trendy..Escobar, Manson, Bundy, they love their infamous legends of generations past
4. They had 25 years to say something. And now that we're in these 3 steps combined, we get these shaky and flakey stories about masturbation and taking me up to the attic..nothing cooberated
5. Hes been supported by close friend cory Feldman, who was not too scared or embarrassed to admit he HAS been molested, but never by Michael Jackson
6. A previous accuser already admitted to lying. The FBI again found nothing over years of investigation. So we've reached a point where we're taking the word of 2 guys with shaky reputations over the feds and the court of law because...why? Why have we decided that their word is gospel?
The cory Feldman thing is the biggest sticking point to me. He knows all about the sick things that happen to kids in hollywood. Even claiming that his best friend was molested as a kid by someone powerful in hollywood that was to powerful to name without his own life being in jeopardy. Yet with all this knowledge of sick fucks in hollywood and the loss of his best friend due to abuse he chooses to defend micheal jackson. Like i said above i believe micheal was truly looking out for these young boys who were vulnerable like he was. He was protecting them from sickos and in return they turned around and accused him of the exact thing that he was trying to shield them from. He relationship with these kids was indeed close, because he cared about them, he saw himself in these young vulnerable boys and wanted to protect them making himself an easy target for those who did not approve of him shielding these boys from hollywood abusers.

Fair enough. I'm of the opposite mind - finding it very hard to see how anyone could hear those stories and not believe in their validity.
The only thing I would say to that is Michael Jackson is dead, so, he can't really defend himself. I won't go so far as to defend the guy - I've always been in the camp that these people typically tell you who they are and Jackson's lifestyle certainly made a lot of statements about who he was when it came to kids - but there were reasons for the old axiom about speaking ill of the dead and I do think we should largely take heed of it.
Having said that, I wouldn't always dismiss allegations after the fact. I used to work somewhere and the old, beloved dear leader retired and suddenly, we started hearing all sorts of stories from women about what had been going on and who knew. When it all finally blew up, you'd be amazed how much was said along the lines of, 'he made everyone a lot of money, inlcuding me, so I didn't want to rock the boat'. Michael Jackson was very useful to a lot of people and, now that he's not, it may be that people finally feel free to speak out (much like Weinstein).
I watched the movie. I went in with an open mind, thinking I'd see some damning stuff. Instead, it felt one sided, capitalistic, and sleazy. Those 2 came across to me about as legitimate as a 3 dollar bill.
One thing the documentary makes pretty clear is that these were romantic, love affairs - even if they are illegal, immoral, and heinous from MJ's side, not to mention the manipulation and power imbalance. These kids were, by and large, truly in love with Michael; and he was in love, perhaps obsessively so, with them.
Doesn't make it anywhere close to being alright. But these are not your standard - physical abuse and fear-based molestation - stories that we hear from the likes of the Catholic Church. This perhaps sets up even more conflict in the mind of the victim - being in love, and loved by, your abuser.
But we can assume you didn't actually watch the movie, correct?
I gave my thoughts quite passionately in the movie thread. You may find I disagree lol

I was a huge fan of jacko when I was young. This was like early to mid 90s, the dangerous album was an awesome cover and kids care about that shit. He was at that white "really white" stage and wore the gloves and the captain crunch outfits. He had an aura about him.
I grew out of that phase and by my teenage years he jumped the shark, held his baby over a balcony, and I believed all the accusations.
now I'm not so sure as an adult. I appreciate the legend and the talent, but do find it hard to commit one way or the other on the accusations.

RPD launches site for cold cases
By Gino Fanelli
PHOTO BY GINO FANELLI Founder of Young and Gifted Global Ministries Sherita Traywick.
The Rochester Police Department on Thursday launched a website that will eventually catalog the department's 554 unsolved homicides dating to 1969 in an effort to close the cold cases.
The website, RochesterNYunsolved.com, contains a searchable database of victims, with brief descriptions of the location, date of death, and manner of death alongside links to relevant news articles about the victims.
About 100 cases were available on the site upon its launch, with more to be added over time.
In announcing the initiative, interim Police Chief Cynthia Herriott-Sullivan said the goal was to bring closure to families who lost loved ones to violence. She credited members of the grassroots violence prevention group Roc the Peace with the idea for the site. The group's founder, Sirena Cotton, lost her son Christopher Jones in a still-unsolved shooting in 2007.
"We put our heads together and decided to push this forward," Herriott-Sullivan said. "When we left that meeting, I remember telling Sirena Cotton we were going to do this if I have to pay for it myself."
Captain Frank Umbrino specified that cold cases are defined not by how long ago the crime occured but by those in which all available leads have been exhausted without an arrest and subsequent prosecution.
"It's frustrating, because although in the vast majority of cases we may know who did it, being able to prove this in front of a jury is an extremely difficult task," Umbrino said.
The most recent case in the database is that of Jordan Coleman, a 16-year-old who was shot and killed on Clifford Avenue in March. The oldest is Jose Bas, who was shot while working at his convenience store on Conkey Avenue in November, 1972.
Bas's granddaughter, Arleen Hyland, said she and her mother, Milda Bas, are still seeking answers.
"We're not giving up, we want this solved, and it's up to the community to call and give tips, anything you can provide to solve this case," Hyland said. "It still hurts. We need closure."
Genora Wilder is also searching for closure. Her son, Jason Wilder, was beaten to death on Clinton Avenue in 2019 after she said he was mistakenly thought to be part of an altercation happening on the street. He left behind a daughter who is now 13.
"Somebody knows something," Wilder said. "It was July, a nice summer night on a corner where there's a store and a barber shop. I was told there were 20 to 30 people out that night on that corner watching this altercation."
Rochester has seen 2,197 homicides since 1969, according to police, and Umbrino said about a quarter of them remain unsolved. That clearance rate of roughly 75 percent is above the national average, which the FBI pegged at 62 percent in 2018.
While the goal of the site is to solicit tips from the community, it also serves as a tool to keep hope alive. The site features a family forum that allows relatives of the deceased to offer information about their loved ones and connect with people also coping with loss.
Pastor Sherita Traywick, founder of community outreach group Young and Gifted Global Ministries, has previously partnered with Roc the Peace on so-called "cold case walks." Those walks include praying at the site of a murder and gives the opportunity for parents or other family members to speak about their loved one.
"After that we walk around the community with flyers and we're just asking people do you know anything, do you know this case?" Traywick said. "...We're not going to bring the children back, but we are going to keep their memory alive, and we need the community to speak up. We need the community to know that even though it's been 13 years, we have not forgotten DaMarri (Shaw), we have not forgotten Brent (Coley), we have not forgotten Jason (Wilder)."

46 INSIDER November/December 2018 Some companies are under the impression that if they obtain an endorsement from a consumer (a testimonial) or if they fi nd out a celebrity uses their products, they are free, without limitation, to use the endorsement or to discuss the celebrity in their advertising, marketing or social media. In fact, use of endorsements from both "ordinary people" and from celebrities has many restrictions, and if a company is not careful in following the rules, it may fi nd itself the target of an FTC investigation or the defendant in a lawsuit brought by the celebrity. FTC also may review the endorsements of bloggers and social media infl uencer campaigns. Indeed, FTC has found liability on the part of an endorser, so they, too, would be well-advised to understand what they are offering and the potential consequences. FTC regulates product a dvertising, including that which appears in social media. FTC has published several guides and other information concerning the use of endorsements, and companies, bloggers and infl uencers considering the use of or making endorsements would be wise to review the guides and consult with competent legal counsel. FTC has three general principles applicable to endorsements. First, endorsements must be truthful and nonmisleading. An endorsement must refl ect the endorser's actual experience and opinion. An endorsement, however, cannot make objective claims for a product that require evidence that the company does not possess. When a company uses an endorsement in advertising, that endorsement is a claim requiring substantiation, not substantiation itself. This is the case even if the claim is absolutely verifi ed as true for the specifi c endorser. For example, an endorser may write to a company stating that the product relieved menstrual cramps, but if the company does not have scientifi c data supporting the claim, then the endorsement cannot be used. In addition, FDA views endorsements as "evidence of intended use," so it would object to any dietary supplement product claim relating to disease or health conditions because that may cause a product intended to be marketed as a dietary supplement to be an unapproved drug. Second, when making or using endorsements claiming specifi c results, the results related by the endorser must be typical of what other people using the product should expect. If they are not, it may still be possible to use the endorsement if the results most people can expect when using the product are clearly disclosed. General disclosures, such as "results may vary" are no longer accepted by FTC. The commission now requires that specifi c informative disclaimers be used. For example, a person endorsing a weight loss dietary supplement may have verifi ably lost 50 pounds in a four-month period. If, however, the company can only substantiate that most people using the product lose 10 pounds in four months, the endorsement must be accompanied by a prominent statement along the lines of "most people who use our product together with diet and exercise may expect to lose 10 pounds in four months." Third, if the endorser has any connection that could affect how he or she were compensated for an endorsement—or how a person would view the endorsement— that connection or compensation must be disclosed. For example, if a person works for the company or is related to someone who works for the company, that must be disclosed. If the person received any compensation—even as little as a free sample—or is part of a marketing program run by the company, that, too, must be disclosed. Such disclosure may be as simple as, "XYZ Company gave me its product to try, and here is what I think." Companies may solicit endorsements from customers. If the customers have no reason to believe that they will be compensated (and they are not), then there would be no need for a disclosure. It should be disclosed if the customers have a reason to expect compensation for the endorsement. According to FTC, "If customers are told in advance that their comments might be used in advertising, they might expect to receive a payment for a positive review, and that could infl uence what they say, even if you tell them that you want their honest opinion. In fact, even if you tell your customers that you aren't going to pay them, but that they might be featured in your advertising, that opportunity might be seen as having a value, so the fact that they knew this when they gave the review should be disclosed." Consider the following examples, starting with bloggers and infl uencers. Some bloggers and typical consumers comment on products in their social media posts, but have no connection to the marketers of the products and do not receive compensation. They are simply advising their readers and friends about products that they like and recommend. These posts generally fall within the scope of First Amendment rights, and FTC should not have any issue with them. When it comes to bloggers and social media, FTC is primarily concerned about endorsements made on behalf of an advertiser where the blogger is compensated or otherwise connected to the marketer, and the compensation or Legal: Endorsements Making and Using Endorsements by Steven Shapiro When a company uses an endorsement in advertising, that endorsement is a claim requiring substantiation, not substantiation itself.

Celtic Boss Full Of Praise For This Summer Arrival: How He Has Become A Useful Asset For Lennon
By Ayush Chaurasia
Ayush Chaurasia
Sports Management Graduate. Wannabe sports manager/writer and researcher. If not found disscussing about sports, will be seen talking about movies or tv shows. Miserable rest of the times.
Celtic were having some severe issues at right-back over the past year as Mikael Lustig looked way past his prime and there was no other real option for the Hoops. They were linked with plenty of right-backs in the last few windows, and the club finally went on to sign Hatem Abd Elhamed, a 28-year-old defender from Israeli league Hapoel Beer-Sheva.
It's fair to say that most of us had doubts over him as he was primarily an unknown quantity. Moreover, he had played most of his career as a centre back, and it was kind of surprising to know that Celtic were seeing him as a right back. Elhamed had played just a handful of games in his career in that position. However, so far in his time at Parkhead, the experienced defender has shown what he is capable of under Lennon's stewardship.
Lennon on Elhamed's impact
Lennon recently praised the versatile fullback on Celtic TV and said, "We needed someone to play both positions (Centre back and right back) proficiently. He was outstanding at Ibrox when he was called on to go into central defence, and at right-back, in the big games, he has excelled. We've got a good player there, but Nir can deputise there as we have seen before he got the injury."
The manager has already used him in both the positions and Elhamed hasn't put a foot wrong since his arrival. An underwhelming signing earlier is now looking like a gem as the one-time Israel international has been able to hold his own even in European ties.
Why is Elhamed a significant asset?
The credit should go to the scouting team. The Bhoys were also in need of centre backs this summer as Dedryck Boyata had to depart from the club after his contract had expired and Filip Benkovic's loan spell had ended. The club then spent the big bucks to land Christopher Jullien, and in Elhamed, they have managed to hit two birds with one stone as the 28-year-old is equally comfortable at right-back and centre back.
Moritz Bauer, who joined the club on loan, is another option as the right-sided defender. However, he will have to wait to get regular game time after Elhamed's strong start to the season. The 28-year-old has played with maturity as he avoids going into rash challenges and is comfortable with the ball at his feet. He is decent on the attacking front as well and overall; the defender looks like an astute acquisition from Celtic's management team.

Thanks for sending your question to Disney Parks Moms Panel!
Getting around Walt Disney World can be confusing, but there are many options for guests to travel from location to location easily.
When you want to travel to a park from Disney's Art of Animation Resort, head to the bus stop; look at the map on the link provided, and you'll see images of buses lined up near the lobby. Bus stops are marked with signs that note which park those buses will be traveling to, so when you want to head to Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park, stand at the AK bus stop at Disney's Art of Animation Resort. Whichever park you happen to visit at the end of each day, you'll find signs at the park bus stops which designate your resort's bus stop, too. Easy peasy!
Park hopping transportation options change frequently, so be sure to ask a Cast Member either at your resort or at the bus stop area at a park if there is a bus that will take you directly from one park to another.
When hopping between Disney's Hollywood Studios and Epcot, however, you'll have different options. First, there is a flat, paved, well-lit path that runs between these two parks. At a leisurely pace you could get from one to the other in about 15 minutes. If you'd rather relax and ride between the two, however, Walt Disney World Water Transportation runs from one to the other, stopping at several resorts in between, throughout the day and into the night.
Of course, if in doubt, Cast Members are stationed near transportation, and they are always happy to give you the latest info.
Send more questions as you think of them, April; we love to help!

Forensic Linguistics: Financial Rhetoric and the Intent to Deceive
By: Dr. Alan Perlman
Email Dr. Perlman
Website: www.language-expert.net.
I advertise myself (accurately) as a "linguistics expert," so I sometimes get questions about language usage.
One recent correspondent was wondering whether - given all the usage "errors" people commit these days - the language wasn't somehow losing its nuance, being reduced to the lowest common denominator..."dumbed down." Maybe, the reasoning goes, if we lose these important distinctions, we won't be able to communicate at all.
To those people I say: chill out. (Unless you're someone who likes to play gotcha games with other people's speech "errors," in which case I say: shut up.) Language is a complex system which won't be severely impaired by a little variation and change.
To allay fears of language change (and presumed deterioration), I refer to the linguistic newcomers as "transitional" forms. Transition to what? We don't know. It may be prominence (new form replaces old) or oblivion.
The form that already exists, then, is the "traditional." This terminology is an alternative to emotional reactions to language variation.
The only real dumbing down I can think is the stripped-down languages called pidgins, often created quickly to allow communication between people who were employing or trading with each other.
Their children grow up speaking a creole (my doctoral thesis on this subject is at http://openlibrary.org/books/OL2161807M/Grammatical_structure_and_style-shift_in_Hawaiian_Pigdin_and_Creole), a different - but still recognizable and understandable - variant of the previous dominant language: French creole in Haiti, English in Jamaica.
A much more urgent concern, because of its dire economic complications, is the spread of deliberately complex, opaque language.
Yes, paradoxically, even though English has simplified over the years (even sentence fragments are appearing in print), the complexity of (grammatically and mechanically perfect) legal and financial jargon, idiom, and phraseology create a dialect that's unintelligible to most native speakers, even educated, literate ones.
Such writing may be a vehicle of vagueness and evasion; dishonest people can use the complexity to get away with duplicity, as readers reach the MEGO ("my eyes glaze over") point.
Bureaucratese and legalese (chief characteristics: specialized jargon, impersonal phraseology, extended sentences, useless repetition) continue to thrive and prosper, just because they are so useful.
Linguistic obscurity is a growth stock, especially today, when the very abstractness of electronic wealth allows infinite machinations and manipulations. The language that describes all of this can become so complex that the true workings of financial activities and investment instruments will elude people who lack the patience to read - and sophistication to understand - all the fine print (i.e., 99.9% of us).
Recently, legalese/bureaucratese has been exploited, by devious corporations, accountants and lawyers, to supply a house-of-cards foundation to the financial machinations that caused the nation's economy to implode.
In "The Analogy of Avarice: Why the finance industry never had to lie" (a review of James Stewart's new book Tangled Webs: How False Statements Are Undermining America, Harper's, Feb. 2012), Jennifer Szalai says that the industry, unlike Bernie Madoff, never had to lie: it was so good at creating complex financial instruments and hiding its duplicities under a fog of words.
"Banks structured derivatives and other securities to enable their clients to take on a massive amount of risk that was nevertheless legal; accountants and law firms ensured that those risks would remain hidden from investors, who could be counted on to trust the triple-A rating or to avoid the eye-glazing chore of reading the fine print.
"'False statements' were...mostly superfluous because of a peculiar system...that left much of the actual regulation to the market participants. [There were] rules about 'disclosure,' [but those]... disclosures in a financial report could be buried in the footnotes and, with some clever wording, made sufficiently dull to ensure that they would barely be seen as red flags."
From page 30, note 3 of Enron's 2000 annual report, just one year before the firm imploded:
"'Securitization. From time to time, Enron sells interests in certain of its financial assets. Some of the sales are completed in securitization, in which Enron concurrently enters into swaps associated with the underlying assets which limit the risks assumed by the purchaser. Such swaps are adjusted to fair value using quoted market prices, if available, or estimated fair value based on management's best estimate of the present value of future cash flow. The swaps are included in Price Risk Management activities above as equity investments.'
What does that even mean? Not much, according to Szalai:
"The text was undoubtedly fussed over by a platoon of lawyers in order to achieve just the right balance of disclosure and evasion [all emphasis mine]. The company might have sold some assets, or it might not have sold some assets; those sales, if any, might include securitizations, or they might not have included securitizations; the securitizations might have had a market price, or they might not have had a market price; if they didn't, then Enron's management gave them a price according to 'management's best estimate' - which is to say, whatever management believed they were worth....
"All this would merit the word 'monstrous,' except the adjective implies an element of excitement and drama, whereas this is a system that thrives on obstruction and boredom. According to [its] conventions...the footnotes are more important than the main body of the text. Sentences are crafted so as not to be read. Language should confound rather than communicate."
But all too often, it does confound. And that obscurity -- in an account of what companies are doing with the wealth of the people reading the account - is intentional. We don't have the time or inclination to wade through it all, and it's doubtful that clarity would emerge even if we did.
Shorter sentences. Simpler words. Less jargon. Concrete examples. Clear explanation of technical terms (or glossary).
The principles of clear communication don't change. Disregarding them in order to confuse and deceive is unconscionable. Deliberate obscurity does irreparable damage to the thin bonds of trust that are supposedly encoded in words on a page. It buries, in a steaming pile of verbosity and BS, the premise that the writer is actually trying to tell the reader something.

A snapshot of the past preserved to educate the future.
Lakeport Plantation is the last remaining pre-civil war plantation home in the state of Arkansas that still faces the Mississippi River in the traditional way. Begun in approximately 1858, Lakeport Plantation offers a rare peek into the state's history that has the potential to offer visitors a glimpse into the livelihood of antebellum cotton plantations.
Constructed in the Greek Revival style, the most magnificent attribute is it's grand scale. The historic structure also contains much of it's original fabric which gives professionals today the opportunity to practice the best known means of conservation.
WER Architects worked with Arkansas State University on the extensive renovation of the plantation in four phases, over six years, to turn it into a museum and cultural center in Southeast Arkansas. Restoration efforts included a lab analysis of paint samples to accurately match the original colors and accurate refashioning of the plantation's doors and rose-shaped window. Arkansas State University operates the site as a museum and educational center, with the house itself as a primary artifact. It is the philosophy of the Restoration Team (and endorsed by the university) that furnished houses have been done well in other places.
Rather than create another "pretty house," or one in which representative furnishings substitute for the original, this restoration and interpretation focuses on the lifestyles and relationships between the people who lived and worked at Lakeport—as slaves and masters, as tenant farmers and land owners.

A visitor describes California's Winchester Mystery House (1937)
The "Winchester Mystery House" is in Santa Clara County, three miles west of San Jose, Calif., in the Santa Clara Valley.
The mystery house is one of the world's wonders. It was planned and built by the late Sarah L Winchester as the spirits directed.
Many of the rooms were built for departed spirits. This wonder house was under construction for 36 years. She believed she would live as long as she continued to build.
Millions of dollars were expended in its construction, and wonderful materials and workmanship are there. Gold and silver chandeliers, art glass windows and doors have the glass inlaid with German silver and bronze. Many art windows are valued at $1,000 each.
Entrance doors cost $2,000
The front entrance doors are valued at $2,000, and were made by Tiffany.
The mystery house and outbuildings cover six acres. The house has 160 rooms, with thousands of windows and doors. (The butler had two buckets of keys to those doors.)
The front entrance doors were only opened once during Mrs. Winchesters' lifetime. That was when her daughter was married. She opened the doors to allow the bride and groom to enter. She is said to have refused "Teddy" Roosevelt (who at that time was President of the United States) entrance. She demanded he go around to the side door if he cared to visit with her.
Blind stairways and stairways that go nowhere, only to the ceiling and stop also are included. Blind chimneys, one of which ends just beneath the fourth floor ceiling, are numerous. Therefore the fireplace is of no use whatsoever. There are hundreds of closets. Some open into space, some onto blank walls. Some are six to eight feet from the floor.
There are secret passageways and false closets, doors, and false drawers in the walls. There is one room with a floor composed of trapdoors that lead nowhere. Hardwood floors in the kitchens are covered with linoleum.
Inside rooms have doors and windows screened. Screen doors also lead to some of the bathrooms. There also are laundry tubs having washboards and soap trays molded into the porcelain tubs.

All the turned posts in or about the house have been installed upside-down or topsy-turvy. Of the 13 bathrooms, some have glass doors. One of the bathrooms in the servants quarters has the bathtub in the center of the room with a glass door on either side. Window shutters can be opened or closed; by turning a crank. There are 18-pound sashweights on windows which do not open.
Has own heating plant
The house also has its own heating, lighting, water and sewer system. There are 13 sewers. It has three elevators, one of which raises only two feet from the floor. One runs four stories up, but is situated in a part of the house that is only three stories, therefore the top part of the elevator shaft rises above the roof.

The house has 40 stairways, most of them having 13 steps, and some of the steps are not more than two and one-half inches high. There are 47 fireplaces, and at one place in the house, you may stand and see seven fireplaces.
Chandeliers with 13 lights, rooms with 13 windows, and ceilings with 13 panels are also seen.
There is a ballroom which has never been used. The contract for this ballroom was let for $10,000, but by the time it was finished, the contractor had lost $4,000 on the deal, as it cost him $14,000.
Works of art in the Winchester Mystery House
The mystery house, in addition to having many mysterious things, has many marvelous and beautiful things that are really works of art. There are warerooms filled with all kinds of beautiful materials, light fixtures (gold and silver) sash and doors, art glass windows and doors.
High-grade interior finish woods such as cedar, ash, oak, mahogany, walnut, maple, cherry and rosewood; hardware, shutters, tile, plumbing, wallpaper (some of which cost $100 per roll).
The woman who built the house had one room which she called her seance room. There was no furniture or light. The room contained two closets, one of which has two rows of 13 hooks on which she kept 13 gowns. She wore the gowns to commune with the spirits. She claimed she could only talk to certain spirits when she wore certain gowns.
In this room also was a large window and skylight through which Mrs. Winchester could watch her servants, whom she feared were trying to put something over on her. There also are windows with sash locks which could never be used, as the upper and lower sash overlap about two feet in the center of the window when closed. Then there is a large indoor and bird aviary.

Mrs. Winchester had enough of different kind of building materials to have kept building for a few years more, but she died before she could rebuild all the damage done by the 1906 [San Francisco] earthquake.
She put in a window (at the top of a stairway) that cost $1,000. Then she feared the spirits would be angry, so she put a plain glass window against a blank wall to keep them pacified.
There are shrubs from all over the world on the grounds surrounding the house and outbuildings. ■
Winchester Mystery House: Fear-ridden widow heiress built crazy, mixed-up house (1967)
By David Lamb
SAN JOSE, California – Its coat sunburned with age, its labyrinth still imbued with an aura of suspense, the Winchester Mystery House stands as a monument to eccentricity.
Inside the rambling 160-room mansion, secret passageways wander throughout the four stories, doors lead into blank walls, staircases end in midair, trap doors spring to the floors below, bathrooms have glass doors.
The Winchester Mystery House, operated today as a museum, was the creation of an insular heiress who ordered that construction continue until her death.
MORE The amazing Annie Oakley: Meet the legendary American sharpshooter from the old West
For 38 years, the carpenters worked on, night and day. They built balconies in the middle of rooms. They installed 47 fireplaces, 40 staircases and 13 bathrooms, 10,000 windows and 2,000 doors. They built addition after addition until the mansion had spread over six acres like a malignant growth.
But Sarah Pardee Winchester knew no peace. Her world had crumpled in 1888 when her husband, William Wirt Winchester, son of the firearms manufacturer, died of tuberculosis in Hartford, Conn. With his death came the haunting fears.
She feared the spirits of all those who may have been killed by the family-made weapons. Would their vengeance follow her and her fortune?
Built what became the Winchester Mystery House to evade vengeful spirits
Mrs Winchester consulted a seer, who did little to quell her anxieties. Only by perpetuating a building project, the widow was told, could she evade the spirits and continue to live.
Confused and apprehensive, she crossed the continent to San Francisco and in San Jose purchased a nine-room farmhouse, hired 22 carpenters. 30 servants and seven Japanese landscape gardeners.
Rooms and extensions were built, torn down, and rebuilt. Every corridor, every twist of an architect's pen was designed to confuse the wraiths Mrs Winchester suspected were lurking beyond the 70-foot trees that surrounded her house.
One staircase makes seven 180-degree turns, contains 80 steps, and yet rises only 10 feet, because each step is just two inches high. Others lead only to the ceiling. Still others lead downward, where they are met by a second staircase which returns to the same level.
Lavishly appointed inside, the mansion's downstairs leads neither to the cellar nor the upstairs to the roof. A bell tower is inaccessible, a conservatory is flooded with skylights, windows freckle the floors.
Outside the dwelling which curious townspeople once called "the ghost barracks," the wooden stream flowed to a barn, adhered to it, finally engulfed it. An observation tower shot up, only to be choked by other structures. Gables and cupolas spiked the mansion in checkerboard sequence, then became dwarfed by new domes, vanes and towers.
Mrs Winchester, her 4-foot-10 frame partially crippled by arthritis during her later years, remained a recluse as the workmen labored without regard to the hour or day. If her servants caught a glimpse of her, it was that of a veiled, almost ghostlike form flitting down a distant hallway.
Only the widow's niece and secretary, Miss Margaret Merriman, and a Chinese butler who served meals on the Winchester $30,000 gold dinner service, saw the widow regularly.
Despite her anguish, Mrs. Winchester managed to escape the spirits — but not death. For one night in 1928, at the age of 85, the eccentric heiress died of natural causes in her splendid bedroom.
And for the first time in 38 years, the clamor of hammers and saws was stilled. ■

Remote HVAC Control System (SALUS Controls)
In Europe, most homes are heated via hot water radiators, not HVAC systems as is popular in the United States. Current European heating systems suffer from two shortcomings; wiring the thermostat to the water source, and limited Wi-Fi range in older homes.
Enterprise AI for Predicting HVAC Chiller Failures
The building systems division of a Fortune 500 manufacturer provides equipment and services that provide comfort to customers while optimizing building energy expenditures. Historically, the building systems conducted chiller maintenance reactively which led to business disruptions and downtimes and costly emergency repairs that ultimately impacted customer satisfaction.The manufacturer needed a reliable solution that rapidly integrated all relevant equipment and facility data sources and allow it to reduce downtime and costly, unscheduled maintenance for its commercial Heating, Venting & Cooling (HVAC) chiller systems.
Connecting HVAC Systems to the Cloud
Leveraging the IoT to Enhance HVAC OperationsThe internet of things (IoT) is having a major impact on building management. Connected sensors are allowing facilities managers to track a wide range of parameters from resource consumption, to space utilization, to temperature and light usage. By integrating this data with advanced building-management systems (BMS), it is possible to automate key functions, giving far greater control over the building. For example, lighting may be automatically turned down in areas that are unoccupied. With large-scale sites, efficiency is paramount.One area that has great scope for optimization is heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC). These systems are notoriously power-hungry as they are in almost constant use around the clock. IoT devices are capable of closely tracking the temperature in different rooms in a building and adjusting the heating or AC accordingly. To enable remote monitoring, there also has to be stable and secure connectivity. The HVAC equipment will be constantly sending detailed data, so coverage gaps or network outages can be disruptive, especially for mission-critical applications. Without control over the connectivity layer, it can also be easy for costs to over-run, causing unpleasant bill shocks.

Guilty Plea in Iraq Kickback Scheme
Anthony J. Martin, an American who worked for Halliburton's former subsidiary Kellogg Brown & Root, pleaded guilty to violating the Anti-Kickback Act in awarding nearly $13 million in contracts to a Kuwaiti company in 2003 to supply the American military with semi-tractors and trailers in Iraq and Kuwait. (Subsequent court documents identified the company as First Kuwaiti General Trading & Contracting.) Martin, whose duties included soliciting and awarding subcontracts on KBR's behalf under its LOGCAP III (Logistics Civil Augmentation Program) contract, pleaded guilty in federal court in Illinois to awarding two contracts in exchange for what would have totaled over $200,000 in kickbacks. In June 2008, Martin was sentenced to 12 months and one day in prison and ordered to pay $200,505 in restitution.

There's no point even trying to deny it, I'll just come out and admit that I am a procrastinator… BIG TIME!!!
Would someone please tell me what's wrong with me!!! I have come up with a gazillion different reasons (on a daily basis) why I couldn't sit down and write. Some days I'd say to myself that if I only committed myself to 300-500 words, I might actually just sit here and continue for hours and hours.
Painting furniture, shopping online for house accessories, going clothes-shopping for some summer items, writing long notes to friends and family, doubling up on my workouts daily, sitting for hours online looking for wonderful new recipes to try, and reading voluminous amounts in novels I've downloaded.
Now come on… you'll admit with me, no doubt, that all those things are fine. All of them benign in and of themselves. What makes them "procrastination" is that it seems the overwhelming majority of these activities begins within moments after I sit down to continue writing on my novel.
My pattern is to take one long searching look on the page I left off last time I wrote, sit staring out the window at my beautiful two acres of tall trees, contemplating where I want to head off into my story, then re-direct my thinking to some of the things "I really should be doing instead" (yeah, right), and the next thing I know, I'm completely disconnected from the story line.
Wooow!...I love this book,I couldn't put it down till I read every page. It encapsulates everything a Godly relationship should look like..Thanks (to the author).
Really good book! I enjoyed reading this book and can hardly wait until the second book is released. What will happen?! I have to know! I tend to read little bits of a book daily but on the third day of reading this one, I didn't put it down, I just read until I finished.
"I passed over this book so many times because the idea of a story based on emails just didn't sound interesting. After looking at all the positive reviews, though, I decided to take a chance. Yep...it's free, but I still get disappointed if I end up with a book I don't care for. Well...the positive reviews were well-earned. I loved every single word of it! Every email brought out so much of the characters' depth and the things that filled their lives. So glad I took the chance...and getting ready to buy the next one."
As a dad who has been the father of the bride, I found this story to be especially interesting. All the details that go into planning a wedding and reception show that it is an amazing task. Then, to have the reception go so really really bad is unbelievable. Am really looking forward to reading the last book in this series. Truth is, I already have the third book. I got this book and the last one at the same time. This author really makes everything seem real. I've actually shaken my head in disbelief so many times while reading. Great story!

Pa. Probe Examined Decades Of Sex Abuse Allegations Against Catholic Church A grand jury investigation into clergy sex abuse in six dioceses in the state is to be release Tuesday. More than 300 priests who sexually abused minors, or tried to cover up the abuse, may be named.
Pa. Probe Examined Decades Of Sex Abuse Allegations Against Catholic Church
August 14, 20185:07 AM ET
An-Li Herring
A grand jury investigation into clergy sex abuse in six dioceses in the state is to be release Tuesday. More than 300 priests who sexually abused minors, or tried to cover up the abuse, may be named.
A long-awaited report on child sex abuse within the Catholic Church is expected to be released in Pennsylvania this afternoon. This is the culmination of a nearly two-year grand jury investigation into six Pennsylvania dioceses. From member station WESA in Pittsburgh, An-Li Herring reports.
AN-LI HERRING, BYLINE: The grand jury investigation is expected to name more than 300 priests it says sexually abused minors or tried to cover up the abuse. The panel examined a span of more than 70 years. It heard testimony from grown men and women who say they were abused decades ago. Jim VanSickle was among them. He says he was first molested by a young priest in 1981.
JIM VANSICKLE: You know, not the - at the time, I don't think I would realize, but, you know, I was being groped. I was being touched in places where, you know, normally wouldn't allow that.
HERRING: VanSickle kept his trauma a secret for 36 years. He says his mental health and home life suffered because of it. But then he read in the news that someone else had accused the same priest of abuse.
VANSICKLE: My first feeling was for this kid. And I cried and I prayed that this young man wouldn't be alone. And that's why I stepped forward.
HERRING: VanSickle testified before the grand jury last year. His abuse, like many other cases, occurred too long ago to be prosecuted under Pennsylvania law. But the grand jury found that his alleged abuser victimized two other boys more recently, and the state's attorney general indicted the priest in those cases. The grand jury's unlikely to yield many more charges, but Father Tom Reese, a columnist at Religion News Service, says the investigation promotes transparency.
TOM REESE: We have to make sure that every child is safe, and we have to do our due diligence to make sure that that's a reality.
HERRING: The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops enacted a series of reforms starting more than 15 years ago. Those moves were designed to address clergy sex abuse more directly. Kathleen McChesney, formerly a top-ranking official at the FBI, launched the group's Office of Child Protection to enforce prevention and reporting measures. She says Pennsylvania's investigation will help gauge their effectiveness.
KATHLEEN MCCHESNEY: Yeah, it's important to know whether or not the problem is being addressed and people are being held or were held accountable at the appropriate time.
HERRING: About two dozen current and former clergy have raised concerns about due process. They say the forthcoming grand jury report portrays them unfairly. They appealed to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court in June, asking that their names be withheld. That's why the findings are set to be released in redacted form today. The final report won't be made public until the court can consider the challengers' claims on an individual basis. That could be the last twist in an investigation some dioceses once tried to shut down altogether. Officials at all six Pennsylvania dioceses included in the probe now say they support releasing the grand jury's findings. For NPR News I'm An-Li Herring in Pittsburgh.

Grey's Anatomy Spoilers: Cristina-Owen, Mer-Der, Izzie's Condition, T.R. Knight, and More Girl-on-Girl Action
Steve Marsi at February 2, 2009 2:26 pm .
Dying for Grey's Anatomy spoilers as the week gets underway? You're in luck. Michael Ausiello of EW has just devoted an entire Q&A session to the show!
Below, he discusses Izzie's health, Owen and Cristina, Derek's proposal (or non-proposal), and whether we'll actually see George O'Malley this week ...
Q: How and when is Izzie's "condition" on Grey's Anatomy going to be revealed?
A: Officially, the dead-guy-sexing resident won't be diagnosed for a few more weeks. Unofficially, however, we will get our first clue into what's ailing her at the end of Thursday's episode. There's another twist, yes, but luckily, it's one only an idiot wouldn't see coming. Here's a hint just for those special folks: Izzie isn't anemic.
Q: Is Dr. Bailey going to take over as the head cardio surgeon?
A: While I can't confirm that, I can confirm that she receives some potentially career-altering news.
Q: Do you have any Grey's Anatomy scoop?
A: Thursday's episode, "Beat Your Heart Out," features one of the funniest, all-female group hugs in the show's history. Also, there's a bawdy cafeteria scene that is so quintessentially Grey's Anatomy that it reminded me how much I miss the good, ol' days of the show. Oh, and did I mention the girl-on-girl action? 'Cause there is some!
Q: Anything new on Cristina and Owen?
A: Lots of cheesy, slow-mo, piano-scored interludes will give way to an emotional collapse that is either extremely moving or ridiculously over the top. I haven't made up my mind yet.
Q: Can you help a girl out and give us anything on Cristina and Hunt?
A: This may or may not shed light on the above Grey's Anatomy spoilers, but this week marks the arrival of Laura Allen (Dirt) as a woman from Owen's past.
Q: My wife made me watch all five seasons of Grey's Anatomy, and I have to say I enjoyed every bit of it. My question is: Do you have an update on T.R. Knight? Is he leaving?
A: Nothing official's been decided, but I suspect Thursday's episode may have been the straw that broke the underused actor's back: George is literally on screen for about 10 seconds.
Q: Any Mer-Der news you can share?
A: By the end of this week's episode, I'm pretty sure everyone at Seattle Grace Hospital (patients included) will have seen the ring ... except poor Meredith.

The Eco Carton. LeeAnn Powers just may have found an answer to the pollution problem. by Karen A. Brown – Follow StardustBlue Media @StardustBlu @StardustBluCEO @StardustGreen @IndieStardust I met LeeAnn Powers about a month ago….
Was Dr. Ann Maest, Ecuador Plaintiff's Scientist, Paid To Lie In Chevron Ecuador Case?


Two weeks ago, I found myself in a little over three feet of rising water, fighting off the current's attempts to tug me under, all for a photo. I think it would have been a good photo had I gotten it. I was photographing an underground parking garage in Lower Manhattan as it was being flooded by Hurricane Sandy's storm surge. I had photographed the flooding garage from every angle, using varying degrees of exposure as it was extremely dark during the blackout.
However, that just wasn't good enough. There was one more shot that I really needed: up close and personal. I made my way to the mouth of the beast and tried to peer around the corner to capture my Hail Mary shot. Instead, the current sucked my leg out from under me. I was able to catch myself in between the wall and a roadside planter housing a small bush. When the planter destabilized, I retreated, knowing my plan was thwarted. What on earth was I thinking, taking that risk for just one shot?
Alas, that is what it is all about. That one shot! As photojournalists, we are always seeking that one shot. The culmination of all our artistic-storytelling-correctly-exposed-under-pressure type of image that will tell the story in such a way to evoke emotion while maintaining journalistic integrity. We take the risks necessary for that storytelling endeavor.
Hurricane Sandy was an exciting, albeit dangerous, storm to cover. I enjoyed every hair-raising moment during those initial hours where the storm made landfall and turned Lower Manhattan into its own playground. During the onslaught of Sandy, I'm unsure if I ever really felt I was in danger. In retrospect, looking at the images from that night and the week after, I see a much different storm than the one I was so excited to photograph.
It was a storm fraught with danger: Open manhole covers, flying road signs and white water rapid-type flooding. The interminable freakish valkyrie screams from the skyscrapers warned of imminent danger. The rain and water pummeled my face from every direction, like a thousand needles were stuck in my skin. It took every bit of concentration I had to focus the camera and see through the soaking wet eyepiece. I took shelter where I could when the wind took on a force so powerful that it sounded like a freight train, one capable of canceling out the sound of the valkyries.
Now that I have had time to contemplate the storm and sift through the photos of various assignments I had covered over the past week and a half, I see the massive force and power that made up the hurricane we call Sandy. The storm not only ravaged us with wind, rain and flooding that devastated homes. It eventually took away the very luxuries and necessities we take for granted. I saw people argue, scream, even tear up over gas shortages. I saw people taking advantage of others simply because they could by charging more for a taxi ride, or offering a 2.5 gallon gas can for 50 dollars (yes, I witnessed this happen).
I also saw the dominating spirit of the givers in all this. The Red Cross helping to bring food and supplies to the downtrodden in Hoboken, New Jersey even as they were ridiculed and yelled at for not giving enough. The National Guard assisting everyone from the elderly to the smallest of children at a shelter that had been set up at the Jersey City National Guard Armory. I saw companies like AT&T provide generators for people in Lower Manhattan to power their cell phones so they could speak with family members and let them know they were okay. I also saw random pedestrians push a person's vehicle a half of a mile to a gas station.
I was able to witness these stories first hand, and hope I can relay them to you via the photos you see here. In retrospect, I would not change how I covered the storm. The only thing I might have done differently is stock up on some gas!

Babels torn är ett byggnadsverk omnämnt i Gamla Testamentet, 1 Mos. 11:1-9. Enligt en teori handlar Babels torn ursprungligen om en ett babyloniskt trappstegstempel, en ziqqurat, tillägnat guden Marduk.

Bibeltexten
I texten sägs att människorna ville bygga en stad, med ett torn som når ända upp till himlen. På så sätt skulle deras namn bli känt och de skulle slippa vara skingrade över hela jorden. De hade hittat en dal i Shinar där de hade bosatt sig.

För att bygga tornet slog man tegel och som murbruk använde man "jordebeck". (Bitumen, som fanns naturligt i marken).

Herren steg ner för att se på staden och tornet och säger då: "De är ett enda folk och har alla samma språk. Detta är bara början. Nu är ingenting omöjligt för dem, vad de än föresätter sig".

Guds reaktion på stadsbyggandet och tornbygget blir därefter att han vill "skapa förvirring i deras språk, så att den ene inte förstår vad den andre säger".

Platsen kallas sedan dess för Babel, det var där språkförbistringen skapades och från vilken Herren skingrade människorna ut över hela jorden och byggandet av staden upphörde.

Någon kritik riktad mot tornbygget finns inte uttryckligen i texten och i slutmeningarna är stadsbyggandet (staden) det enda av de två projekten som nämns.

Den traditionella uppfattningen
Babels torn i Bibeln har ofta tolkats som en symbol för mänskligt övermod och försyndelse mot Gud. Försöket att bygga ett torn ända upp i himlen bestraffades med språkförbistringen, uppdelningen i olika tungomål, så att alla människor inte längre kunde förstå varandra.

Vissa menar att historien om tornet inspirerats av byggnadsverket Etemenanki som fanns i Mesopotamien på den tiden.

26 Responses to Anyone alive???
I am still here!!!! When I was reading that I was thinking to myself this must be sydnee writing this. Your imagination amazes me sometimes.
we are alive waiting for every one to rise from the dead right Shan!
I am still around, just very busy with the wee one and work. Since you asked for meaningless chat, and I am avoiding reading chapter 3 in my book tonight, I have some recent, and very EXCITING news.
Stephanie and I purchased a new weed wacker!!! I know!!!! It's awesome!
Due to the recent fleecing of the nation…. er fuel price increases, I opted for the Black & Decker battery operated 18v. GrassHog.
Although it does not have the raw power of a 2 cycle gas/oil trimmer, it's makes a ton less noise and with a bit more patience the end product is the same. It's also lighter and much easier to operate, Stephanie is excited to try this baby out, as the gas one was a bit more than she was willing to wrangle.
I now have the neatest sidewalk grass line in the neighborhood, with sprinkler heads that have ample room to raise up and provide nourishing H2O to my lush green (it's really kinda brown and dead still ) yard!!
okay… back to chapter 3 for me.
p.s. Hugh is doing awesome and is not too far from being mobile. He can now roll over and places himself into the most awkward uncomfortable positions while sleeping.
I AM YET ALIVE EVERYONE! I HAVE PUT ALL OF YOUR WORRYING TO REST!
Brian! I need to see Elias! i haven't seem him for like two months! I think I am going to spend my next 3 day weekend at grandma's house! YAY! I miss that little fella!
So were we ever going to start the hallowee movie in this millenium? Because we might as well gt ready for it sooner if we are. I really miss you all and I can't wait to see each and everyone of YOU!
shame about the "lush green grass" not so lush, or even green.
You know your getting old when you get excited about a weedwacker hehehe!!!
Gongimus: I know what you mean about the weight. I have the 4 stroke weed wacker..that thing is a beast. At least it makes up for it's fatty diet with an edger attachment!
Mommy: Yes that's totally sad that we now get excited over lawn tools!
Yes we REALLY need to get cranking on the movie. We need to revise the script to use/have less actors. Down to 3 if we can. I will send the script back to you Syd for a revision!
As far as the site goes…yes it does need more love! I will start working on a redesign in the next while.
Oh by the way I'mmmmmmm BAAAAACK!
he he he you guys make me laugh!
I'll revise the script you can send it to whenever i dont know when i can do it seeing as i've been Busy with our One act plays for my high school (i play a sales woman) so by tomorrow i'll be done.
…… Anything interesting?? haha jk jk MAJOR JK!
haha yay! Steel appliances! hmm. Why do we need three people for the movie instead of four?
We don't have that many consistent actors. So the less we have the faster we can complete the movie.
I want to be in the movie as "Dorgrimar", the X DnD geek who goes down in flaming glory fighting zombies with his broadsword.
Then later kills a good guy supporting role person as a char broiled broad sword weilding zombie!!
I will need my own trailer on the set, or no deal.
Good news! We found you a trailer! It will need some work as it is INFESTED with wasp and hornet nests. Plus there are ants everywhere. There is a slight odor due to the rotting body(we can't identify it) in the "Master Suite", but a quick spritz of Febreze will take care of that.
It's also a nice model of trailer, as it has multiple SUH-WEET sunroofs. The fire did a nice job of opening those right up. We will furnish carpet in your trailer so that will be nice for you! And for the price of $0 it was a steal…literally! We "found" it next to the Orem Police Station, it had these weird "Evidence" stickers all over it, which we easily removed, so they won't hassle you at all.
I knew you would have no choice but to comply. I can start next month, I work from 12 pm to 1pm every day, with 2 15 minute breaks.
Makeup will take about 28 mins. but that leaves us with a SOLID 2 mins. of shooting. Hopefully that isn't too much work for you?
Haha! So Bri you got your bees? I shudder at the thought of going to your house with a bunch of bees in the back yard.. Ugh I HATE bees. I hate, hate, hate them!!!!!!!!
Bees are good! Wasps and hornets are of the ##%@@% devil. Those things are MEAN!
With the bees Mary has been wearing sandals and shorts when we check them, not 1 sting. They are VERY gentle.
i really like bees, they make me happy.
OH MY HECK i want to watch that movie now!!!!!
HURRY WITH THE MAKING OF WOULD YOU?!?
gawd thats what i love in a movie.
Damn!!! That's funny I was just thinking the other day where you had gone off to?! Yeah my moms doing great….I will just contact you on your myspace page.
i have to admit….. that post sounded almost creepy to me….
totally out of the blue, dont ask me why. it just seemed like it to me.

Ann Miller Estate – ANN MILLER DONALD STANNARD "SHRIMP" EARRINGS – Donald Stannard was not only one of Miss Miller's favorite designers, he was one of her best friends! He designed many pieces of jewelry especially for her. These classic gilt metal ribbed and curved earrings (clips, not pierced) were all the rage in the 70's and 80's and are so right for today! Back then they were nicknamed "shrimp" earrings. They measure 1 1/8″ long x 1/2″ wide and they dome up 3/8″. They're in excellent condition, signed STANNARD on both, with tight clips, no wear to the plating and on the original manufacturer's card.

Sartre is more consistent than Jean-Paul considering how Pascal is named.
If he's named "Jean-Paul", then why is Pascal still named "Pascal" instead of Blaise (because Blaise Pascal, and Pascal is the last name, not the first name y'know)?
Weird English-release decision.

My suspicion is that it's because calling him 'Sartre' in English would come off as too obvious, whereas 'Jean-Paul' makes you feel slightly clever when you get the reference.

The Sartre and de Beauvoir estates are sue-happy.
It's just brilliant. Jean-Paul Sartre was a French Existentialist Philosopher/Author. He was awarded the Noble Literature Prize in 1964 but declined it. His most famous work is arguably "Nausea", but references for this game, his works "Being and Nothingness", "The Transcendence of the Ego" as well as "Existentialism is a Humanism" are obvious inspirational works that saturate the entire NieR:Automata experiance.

Actual Jean-Paul Sartre might the ugliest successful womanizer.
Robo Jean-Paul would have been funnier if he was still 5 foot tall and had the lazy eye.

Look for these drivers to run well: Kevin Harvick, Clint Bowyer, Brad Keselowski, Jeff Gordon, Carl Edwards, Kurt Busch and Joey Logano.
My 2 Cents: My no brainer pick this week is a tie between Kevin Harvick and Brad Keselowski.
My next picks are Clint Bowyer, Kurt Busch, Jamie McMurray and Kyle Larson. I will complete my team with Justin Allgaier and Landon Cassill.
My final four: Brad Keselowski, Clint Bowyer, Jamie McMurray and Justin Allgaier.
Points to ponder:
Petty Enterprises has the most wins at Richmond in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series with 15, followed by Hendrick Motorsports with 10. Joe Gibbs Racing and Richard Childress Racing each have nine.
The pole starting position is the most proficient starting position in the field, producing more winners than any other starting position at Richmond (23).
About three-fourths (92 of the 118) NASCAR Sprint Cup races at Richmond International Raceway have been won from a top-10 starting position.
Greg Biffle leads the series among active drivers with the most NASCAR Sprint Cup Series starts (26) at Richmond without visiting Victory Lane.
Kyle Busch leads all active drivers in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series in average finishing position at Richmond International Raceway with a 7.350.

Sagittarius Food Diet, Vitamins and Nutrition - 2023
Sagittarius is often prone to overweight, and they should pay special attention to their diet. In addition, plentiful and satisfying food can lead to liver diseases and disrupt the metabolism in the body. As a preventative measure, Sagittarius is recommended to take activated charcoal before dinner or lunch and eat 5-6 walnuts daily.
Fatty food is completely contraindicated to representatives of this zodiac sign. They should include legumes (peas, beans), lots of greens (such as parsley and celery), fresh and baked milk in the menu. Of vegetables and fruits, Sagittarius will suit asparagus, radish, raw cabbage, strawberries and pears. Of meat products - calf liver. Leaves and parsley root regulate digestion and are a source of vitamins, so almost all hot dishes and soups can be sprinkled with fresh parsley. In addition, aromatic herbs such as marjoram, sage, mint and basil can be used in cooking. The mineral water that Sagittarius drinks should contain potassium. He will also benefit from herbal teas, especially from the leaves of strawberries and strawberries. But sugar consumption is best reduced to a minimum.
Sea fish, seaweed, chicken eggs. Vegetables: carrots, beets, tomatoes. Plums, grapes.
Meat, liver, white fish, chicken eggs. Rye bread. Vegetables: carrots, beets, cabbage. Parsley, garlic. Dried fruits, apples, watermelon, dark honey.
Chicken eggs, bird. Sweet pepper, onion. Rye bread. Honey.

Expression of putative arsenite effluxers in Pteris vittata.
Arsenic, a known toxin and carcinogen, is one of many elements that plants are exposed to in their environment. Pteris vittata (Pteridacae) is unique because it and its close relatives are the only known plant species that are able to tolerate and hyperaccumulate arsenic. P. vittata can hyperaccumulate up to 2% of its foliar dry weight as arsenic. The focus of our research is on the fundamental mechanisms that are necessary for P. vittata to tolerate and hyperaccumulate arsenic. We have identified from P. vittata two putatitve arsenite effluxers; PvACR3-1 was identified from a P. vittata EST database and the other, PvACR3-3 from complementation screen with a P. vittata cDNA library expressed in ZL13 yeast that are mutant for the arsenite transporter ACR3. PvACR3-1 does not complement the ZL13 yeast and is missing 12 amino acids of a putative transmembrane domain. By the use of quantitative real time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) we have studied the expression of the arsenite effluxers in response to the addition of 1mM potassium arsenate (KAs(V)) to the plants' liquid culture media. 1mM KAs(V) is a concentration of arsenic that results in the hyperaccumlation of arsenic but does not affect the growth. We present the expression data for both P. vittata gametophytes and sporophytes that have been grown in liquid culture in response to arsenic. These data show that PvACR3-1 and PvACR3-3 have significantly different expression patterns in response to arsenic; while PvACR3-1 is constitutive in expression, PvACR3-3 is induced 4 fold 1 day after the addition of the KAs(V). Given that PvACR3-3 complements and shows induced expression as a result of the addition of arsenic, it suggests that PvACR3-3 may be involved in arsenic tolerance and hyperaccumulation in P. vittata. PvACR3-1 may not be involved in arsenic response as a result of the 12 amino acid deletion in the putative transmembrane domain as show by its inability to rescue the ZL13 yeast grown in the presence of arsenic.
