Tombstone Tuesday--Ferdinande Weiss Olesen
This is the tombstone of my paternal great great grandmother. Ferdinande or Ferdinanda (Ann) was the daughter of Frederick Heindrich Adolph Weiss and Ferdinande Lehman. She was born on November 14, 1855 in Hamburg, Germany. The family immigrated to West Hartlepool, England where she met and married Christian Invart Olesen.
Ann was left a widow in 1892, when Christian died unexpectedly on his way to work. She continued to live in West Hartlepool. When she left England her last address was Seacombe.
Listed as Annie, she immigrated to the United States arriving at the port of New York on June 24, 1920 along with her daughter, Emily Olesen Richards. Accompanying them was William Christian Olesen, Ann's son and Emily's brother.
Ann died at home on February 15, 1942 in Monaca, Beaver County, Pennsylvania. She is buried in the Hughes Family plot at Woodlawn Cemetery, Aliquippa, Beaver County, Pennsylvania.

SNGF on Monday: My Other Interests
Contrarary to popular family belief, I DO have a life outside genealogy. The issue arises out of the fact that many of my hobbies seem to always circle back around to some form of genealogy research. I love to travel, but try as I may, travel always finds me in a cemetery, taking photos....any cemetery....anyone's family. It is just common policy now that if we drive past a cemetery, someone will ask, "Do you want to stop here?"
I love to visit towns, especially the small towns that dot our country. Again, I tend to be looking up...up at the top of old buildings for those family surnames and a date in stone, which I turn around into my blog series, Stories in Stone. I just can't help it!!!
I think my love of water sports is beyond the genealogical realm. I love to swim and kayak. This summer we do plan to take two separate trips to kayak, however one will be outside Morgantown, West Virginia which will leave me within a short drive away from the WVU genealogical library and the other is very near where my Hughes cousins' mother and about 100 years of her descendants lived.....do we hear genealogy here....again....
Gardening. I love to dig in the dirt and perennials are my passion. This one is genealogy free.....OR do I love gardening because some of my ancestors were farmers ;-)
I love to read. I have stacks of books ready to open, but it seems that my reading always goes back to genealogy related articles and books.
Photography. Miss Snap Happy is my nickname. Have Camera Will Travel. I do take photos of non genealogical places, people and items, however, with my blog, it seems that more and more snapping is for photos to accompany my writing....which means GENEALOGY.
I guess I am just hopelessly and HAPPILY addicted.

Stories in Stone--Mollhagen Building in St. Joseph, Michigan
In August 2009, I was fortunate to spend a glorious week in St. Joseph, Michigan. While wandering around the town area I found several building that qualify for my Stories in Stone series. The Mollhagen Building, built in 1924 is located today at 307 and 309 Main Street.
The Mollhagen family was part of the St. Joseph, Michigan landscape as early as 1855 . They were from hardy German stock and made their livelihood as fishermen. When researching this surname I had to work backwards from the 1930 Michigan census to determine which Mollhagen built the building and what was housed inside. My surprise was that it was NOT a store that sold fish.
Charles Mollhagen, a fisherman, born in Germany and married to Christine, lived in St. Joseph, Michigan from about 1855. One of their children was Louis W. Mollhagen.
In 1888 Louis W. Mollhagen, along with a friend, William Freitag, purchased a grocery store located on Main Street from Charles Miller. Louis married Henrietta Bardenbort (Hattie) and the two began to raise their family in St. Joseph, Michigan. The 1900, 1910, 1920 and 1930 Michigan census reports list Louis as the owner of a grocery store. Louis' son, Lester, when he was of age, asssisted his father in the store.
The Mollhagen building standing today at 307/309 Main Street was built by Louis. By 1924 the store was called Mollhagen & Son and the store was run by Louis and his son, Lester Louis Mollhagen. Lester married Carrie Olive Brown and his family lived at 309 Main.
Lester Louis Mollhagen was born March 4, 1892 in St. Joseph and died on February 5, 1965 in Michigan. Lester and his wife, Carrie Olive Brown, his father and mother are all buried at the Lakeview/City Cemetery, St. Joseph, Berrien County, Michigan.

A Bloggers Best Friend Award from Hummer
I probably sound like a broken record, however I am saying it again.....I was so fortunate when I found the geneablogging community. I continue to learn from reading all the wonderfully written blogs and also from the comments given to me. I have formed some great friendships and look forward to hearing from y'all on Flipside and Facebook.
The developer of the award 'Bandit' "A Blogger's Best Friend Award" says it shall be given to your most loyal blog readers. Thus, the award should be given to a follower of yours who takes the time to comment regularly on many of your posts. In addition his or her blog should be creative, funny and always entertaining. Upon receiving this award, pass it along to two fellow bloggers who fit this criteria. I guess we are to choose two....WHEW....two.....I can think so many....
I hear from Carol over at Reflections From the Fence on just about every one of my blogs and there are thoughtful comments from Dorene over at Graveyard Rabbit of Sandusky Bay. Both blogs fit the criteria outlined by the developer of the award. Congratulations. I am passing along this award to each of you.
THANK YOU to all those who have sent along comments and I wish I could have chosen ten and not just two.

Treasure Chest Thursday--Charles Stark Masonic Book
When I first found the book, I only looked at the face value of it....an old book. As I began to dig into my family genealogy, particularily the Stark family, it began to reveal some long forgotten or perhaps never known, secrets.
Opening the book to it's cover pages, on the right hand top, I have the actual signature of my great grandfather, deceased since 1895. It also lists his address probably at the time he joined this Masonic group in 1874. I have not figured out what is written on the left hand top of the page. However, on the bottom are dates from the 1860's--the Civil War era. He was a soldier, enlisted in the union cause at Wheeling, (West) Virginia. His service rightly deserves it's own blog, which I have yet to write. For now, it is suffice to say, that he served. From his pension file his service was:
-May 15, 1861 mustered into the with the 2nd Regiment of the Virginia Infantry.
-January 4, 1864 mustered out of the 2nd regiment of the Virginia Infantry.
-March 5, 1864 he re-mustered as a veteran volunteer in Company D, 5th West Virginia Cavalry. This Company became Company H, 5th West Virginia Calvary during the summer of 1864.
-January, 1865 Charles reinlisted in the New Company H, 6th West Virginia Calvary.
-May 22, 1866 mustered out at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.
Blue from the covers has bled onto many of the pages due to water damage. My great grandfather's name is listed on the top page at the bottom--the last name. He became a member of the Allegheny Lodge # 223 A. Y. M., Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on April 27, 1874.

Carnival of Genealogy, 89th Edition--Ode to Hughes
My surname Hughes is English they say;
Proud common workers all.
From Hartlepool they sailed one day;
And touched New York in fall.
In 1906 they went by train;
To find a life so new.
Factories, steel mills and lots of pain.
Where skies were rarely blue.
Pittsburgh was their first hometown;
Then down river to Woodlawn.
Home was a house sided brown;
Til John Hughes died indawn.
Our family moved around the town;
More than one hundred year.
Now I can say wearing a frown;
No family is there, but near.

Tombstone Tuesday--George Henry Hughes and Mary Ann Storey Hughes
George Henry Hughes and Mary Ann Storey Hughes are my paternal great great grandparents. George Henry, the son of Samuel Hughes and Ann Hill, was born in 1851 in Wordsley, Kingswinford Parish, Staffordshire County, England.
On Christmas Day 1870 George married Mary Ann Storey at All Saints Church, Stranton, West Hartlepool, England. Mary Ann, daughter of John Storey and Ann Robinson, was born on May 18, 1852 on the Headland, Hartlepool, England.
George died at home, West Hartlepool, England on May 08, 1930 and Mary Ann on March 14, 1935. They are buried in Stranton Grange, Hartlepool, England.
I admit that I did not take the photo. My good and now longtime English friend, Heather of Middlesbrough, drove up to Hartlepool and snapped the shot. She checked with the cemetery office to locate the exact gravesite and then drew the rectangle to mark the spot. My great great grandparents never had a proper tombstone placed in the cemetery.
Whatever would we do without friends who share our love of genealogy? I don't want to try!

The Report Book of Warren Cedric Hoffman, Knox Township, Columbiana County, Ohio
Warren Cedric Hoffman, son of Ira and Emma Heastand Hoffman, was born February 6, 1900 in Homeworth, Columbiana County, Ohio. On December 23, 1922 he married Leta Fay Davis in Lisbon, Columbiana County, Ohio.1
On the 1930 Ohio census report, the Hoffmans were living on Cherry Street in Homeworth, Columbiana County, Knox Township, Ohio. Warren and Leta had two children, Mary E. and Warren I. The report also shows that Warren Cedric was an employee of a local supply company.2
I located a death certificate for son, Warren I. Hoffman, who died on October 11, 1942 at Elyria Hosptial, Elyria, Lorain County, Ohio at the age of 17. The Hoffmans were living in Wellington, Lorain County, Ohio at the time.
Wellington is not far from where I live. I am continually amazed at how some of my searches bring me right back home! Ancestry has the Elyria newspaper on line, so finding Warren Cedric's obituary was pretty simple. He died at home in Wellington, Ohio on March 25, 1956.
I was able to locate a death record for Leta Hoffman, who was a public school teacher in the Wellington system until she retired at the end of the school term 1968.3 She died at the Cleveland Clinic on May 7, 1982.4
Both Warren Cedric and his son, Warren I. were buried in Moultrie Chapel Cemetery, Columbiana County, Ohio. I was able to locate the death certificate for Warren's father, Ira Hoffman, who is also buried there. I would imagine that Leta Davis Hoffman and Emma Heastand Hoffman's final resting places are at Moultrie Chapel Cemetery.

Graveyard Rabbits Carnival--Cemetery Critters
This friendly fellow joined us on our search of the Union Cemetery in Independence, West Virginia back in July, 2008. I don't often see domesticated animals visiting cemeteries when I am wandering around photographing tombstones, so this was a bit unusual. Hence the reason for the photo.
I had information from another family researcher that my ggg Grandmother Sarah McElroy VanGilder was buried in Union Cemetery. The cemetery is located in a rather out of the way location. Thank goodness for Garmin!
Sarah McElroy VanGilder tombstone on Flipside
The second photograph is of a tombstone critter. Of the thousands of gravemarkers I have photographed, this is the only one that has an animal displayed. The bird is shown in front of a cross and sitting on a beautifully carved block. It is the marker of John Heller, died February 7, 1895 at age 51 years 7 months 24 days and found in Greenlawn Cemetery, Tiffin, Seneca County, Ohio.

The Pounder surname--Old Hartlepool, Durham County, England
Suffice to say, Elizabeth was probably born in Hartlepool. She married George Robinson, a fisherman also from Hartlepool on May 14, 1826 at St. Hilda's on The Headland, Hartlepool, England. Ther ceremony was performed by William Wilson, Curate of Hartlepool. Witnesses were: William Horsley, George Comer and John Fletcher. From the old records, neither George Robinson nor Elizabeth Pounder were able to write their name and signed with an "X".
My English friend, who by the way has done all the research on this family for me, sent me an addendum to the information which was of great interest to me. It involves the derivation of the name POUNDER. "From very early times, an important village offical was the 'pinder' or 'pounder'. His job was the impounding of stray cattle in the pinfold or pound until their owner redeemed them on payment of a fine." According to my friend, "I have a true 'dyed in the wool' Hartlepool ancestor with the Pounder name that is special to the Headland (Old Hartlepool). Very cool!!!!
My first cousin twice removed from Hartlepool, John George Marsh, married a Hartlepool Pounder, Mary Pounder. Over the years Mary and I corresponded about family and we were both surprised to find that John descended from Pounders, something he was unaware of.
Always the generous one, Mary sent me information about her Pounder family. Mary was the daughter of Richard Pounder and Mary Herring. She was born January 23, 1923 in Hartlepool, England.

Follow-up to Hummer's Post--Volunteering
One of the projects I contribute to is Find-A-Grave. Why do I do it? I love cemeteries, the art work found there, the stories of families, the exercise.... AND I love it when I get an e-mail back from an appreciative family member. Oddly, after reading Hummer's blog, just such a thank you arrived in my mailbox.......
Wow...thank you for what you do. Folks like me who do not travel really appreciate your efforts.
Hope that you stay warm this week by staying inside!
I know I depend on others to do the legwork for me since I cannot travel from state to state looking for tombstones, records, etc., so it only seems appropriate that I do the same for others.
Thank you Elizabeth for your kind words. And thank you to all the countless volunteers out there who help others through their service.
Lesson Learned: Volunteer and remember to send a thank you to those who have helped.
Treasure Chest Thursday-- Keep Smilin
I googled it to see if I could find out any more info, but came up empty.
The message seems appropriate for the new year.....new decade. It is a philosophy that I try to live every day even as adult.
If you keep feelin' chipper
There's none can put you down:
You can make your luck by smilin'
Or loose it with a frown:
If you should get into a hole,
Keep smilin' even then
And when you hit the bottom hard
You'll bounce right out again.

Tombstone Tuesday--Sarah Houston Hill
Sarah was a member of the First Presbyterian Church, Morgantown, West Virginia and spent time weaving and spinning altar linen for the church. In a piece that I read about her it stated that family members have napkins made of the linen. I wonder where those are???
She died on March 18, 1872 at the age of 81 years in Monongalia County, West Virginia and is buried beside her husband in Pleasant Hill Cemetery, Monongalia County, West Virginia.

The secret behind the mpg - the manufacturer's lie - now there's a surprise.
The secret behind the mpg - the manufacturer's lie - now there's a surprise.
top gear did an item on this... the run by the makers done on the flat hot day extra thin motor oil pre heated engine spare wheel removed no extras nearly empty tank
The fact that the published mileage never actually reflects common usage has been in the news over the last couple of days, I think there's been a 'Which' report or something similar.
Regarding the comments on the Picasso, I had a 1.6 diesel egs VTR+ 2 cars ago and it averaged 43mpg over the 3 years (I kept a record). I would have liked to get another but couldn't afford it this time
I would not expect to achieve the maufaturers claimed combined figure, BUT, I would expect to achieve something in excess of the Urban figure which I have done with my last 3 cars. My new car is stated to do 53.3 Urban and 62.8 overall and I will be upset if I go not achieve 55 mpg as an absolute minimum. My Golf's extra urban is 56mpg, a figure I have only achieved once on a 30 mile trip along A roads and quiet country lanes. Often on short trips, such as a visit to the pharmacy today, its reading 20.3mpg.
If "what car" are acclerating quite hard, braking and leaving the car to idle I can quite see why they are arriving at such low figures.
I would have to cahlenge them th explain why on their road test, they achieved 47mpg against "Which" real driving mpg test of 63mpg and why there is such a disparity on so many?
You do know that this is Money is an offshoot of the Daily liar, sorry Daily mail? :-)
What cars tests were done in a completly different way to the EU official test process, so of course the figures whould have been different, the tests they have done are not repeatable unless the same two drivers do the exact same roads in the sam etime in the same weather conditiosn and same traffic density, totally inpossible to do, thats why there is a set laboratory test which can be replicated time after time.
Chalk and cheese...
Buy a copy of What Car? this month for a feature on "What your next car will really do to the gallon".
I subscribe so got mine yesterday, it gives you an insight into how What Car? will now be testing all their cars to show you "real-world" economy figures, and also how the government come up with the official figures.
Motability Car History

Click here to send me an email with any private Motoring questions you may have. Replies usually within 48hrs
i rang motability when my renault clio was doing 24mpg and they told me i could change the car even though i had had it only 6 months. they were very helpful
I'm prone to believe 'Which?` magazines results as they are unbiased and independent consumers organisation who will conduct all car tests under lab type conditions so all cars are put through the same tests under the same conditions.
just done another refill to brim after doing 90 miles round town . put £30 back into car on that rate now found out the cars doing approx 19 miles to gallon !!!!!

During the past couple of months, I have posted several political blogs. However, with the election less than a week from now, there will soon be less emphasis on politics both in the news and on my blogs.
One of my favorite hobbies, outside of arguing about politics, is composing/writing/recording original music. So, in the spirit of non-politics, I give you an original music composition called Eerie Ringtone... (the player doesn't always work on the blog, so you might have to click the link)
As the name, Eerie Ringtone suggests - this musical bit is best suited not as a song, but as a ringtone. What do you think about it?
Best regards,
Jay Allen

Tobacco use declines on prime-time dramas
Prime-time television dramas are less smoke friendly than they were in the 1950s.
According to a study published online in the journal Tobacco Control on Thursday, there has been a dramatic decline in visibility of tobacco products on prime-time U.S. broadcast television.
Researchers at the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania determined this drop in portrayals of smoking and tobacco use in prime-time dramas mirrored the national decline in consumption.
The study examined 1,838 hours of popular…

Crush Your Career with CrushIt by GaryVee
I'm guessing you haven't heard of GarVee. That's okay, it's not necessary to know who he is to get value out of his book.
I want you to get (library, buy, borrow, steal, whatever) his book: Crush It. Okay, don't steal it, but somehow get it.
And read chapter 1. Really, that's all I want you to do (you can read the rest if you want).
Gary talks to people who want to be successful (which, in a large part, means very, very happy). I'm reading his book as an entrepreneur… but this book speaks to me when I was unhappily employed. Gary talks about how to be happy. With his down-to-earth language, and passion that jumps off the page, I get huge, huge messages, just out of chapter 1.
Are you in a job search? Read this book. In Chapter 1 Gary talks to YOU, the job seeker.
Are you happily employed? Read this book. In Chapter 1 Gary talks to YOU, the professional.
Are you unhappily employed? Skip work today and digest this book.
Do you have a hobby you love… something you are passionate about? Read this book, because it's all about passion. Well, 33% is about passion, the other 66% is other stuff, but passion is KEY.
I don't know if other are touting this as a career book, but I am. This is one of the most significant career books you'll read – ever.
There are tons of blog posts about Gary Vaynerchuk's book – you can see them here. Here is one of my favorites, from my buddy Janet Meiners Thaeler, titled The First Business Book That Made Me Cry.
I'm not telling you to read this book because it will make you cry. I can't sleep as I think about some of the message.
Okay, enough … you get my point. Get the book.
Oh yeah, and here's a tip … if you want to get into the spirit of reading this book, spend some time watching some of Gary's videos. I've watched him enough that when I read the book I can picture him onstage, or at his computer on a webcam, talking to me. His book talks to me… how cool is that?

Exam results 'will be out on time'
Pupils sitting public examinations this summer are being promised they will get their results on time.
The assurance - from the Joint Council for General Qualifications (JCGQ) - comes as exam boards face an estimated 20% increase in entries this year, as a result of changes to the post-16 curriculum, such as the introduction of AS-levels.
The move led some to suspect that chaos was looming, with fears of a repetition of last year's fiasco in Scotland, where failures at the Scottish Qualifications Authority led to thousands of pupils being given late, incomplete and incorrect results. The JCGQ - which represents exam boards in England, Wales and Northern Ireland - estimates that an extra 8,000 examiners are needed this year, in comparison to last year's 40,000. The examiners will be marking some 7.2m GCSE, AS-level, A-level, GNVQ and vocational A-level entries - a 20% rise on last year's 6m entries. Foresight "We were aware of the need for extra examiners this year with the new curriculum," Chris Morritt from the JCGQ said. "We don't want candidates sitting exams at the moment to be concerned that they're not going to get results back on time," he said. The letter sent to school was not a panic measure, Mr Morritt stressed, but a means of ensuring the right number of examiners were recruited. "We are confident we've got enough examiners in place," he said. It was not too late for new examiners to come forward, he added, and teachers wanting to sign up should contact the relevant exam board immediately. |

Chrysler has made my decision simple If I can't get a Shelby GT500 by 2008 for MSRP from a Ford dealership who has more than greed on their mind then the 2008 Dodge Challenger will be mine. This is a very easy decision for me. I encourage everyone else to consider it as well. My loyalty to Ford is not worth a 10k markup.
I two will consider the switch to the Challenger. It'll come close to having everything that I want in a package that will be mass produced (minimum 30K units) I like the idea of getting 425HP from a N/A car and an IRS.
Let me get this straight. You guys think the Dodge dealers aren't going to try charging over MSRP? Good luck with that. I think back to the prowler. I personally remember the salesman telling my brother and I it was $70k. Despite the $40k sticker on the car.
Like Ford's 5 speed tranny is any better.......I'd take my chance I've had 2 Dodge trucks and they've been ROCK solid.
Supply and Demand. Thats whats driving up the prices. But by the end of 2008 you should be able to deal on a Shelby. I remember when the 305hp 1996 Cobra first came out, they too were being maked way up. But by the end of 1997 you could get one for below sticker. From what I read Ford is planning to build 8000 per year so give it some time, you can get a deal. And don't you think the same thing will happen with the Challenger? Now if it were a 425hp Hemi 'Cuda I might jump ship to the other side.
The Challenger is official. DCX made the announcement infront of NASCAR fans last Saturday (Pepsi 400 @ Daytona) It will show up on the lots of Dodge dealerships in 2008 (late I imagine) as a 2008 model As for reliability of all different brands, each manufacturer has it's own problems. Didn't the Mustang have a few issues when it came out in August 2004? Like filling the gas tank? Or a ticking / knocking noise from the engine? What about having the rear ends rebuilt for another ticking noise? Saying that a RWD transmission will fail simply because it's built by one company is silly. Do the Viper transmissions suck that bad? Every dealer offers extended warranties at the time of purchase. They come in handy for silly things, like wiring glitches, heated seat failures, instrument panel failures, etc... They are worth it IMO for any brand of car. I love the Mustang, I've owned my fair share of them. So don't think I am Mustang bashing here. I simply think the Challenger will be easier to obtain and offer a greater value than the Shelby. 30,000 units a year is a lot more than 8,000 Shelbys per year. Maybe if Ford puts out a Mustang with similar performance to the Challenger I will be swayed away but right now we don't know that... So I'll plan on a Challenger
could turn out to be a dog Who says that the Challenger is going to be a 500+ hp car? Just because it'll have a Hemi don't mean that it's going to blow the GT500 away! It could be a 4200lb car too! IT may look nice (just like the Shelby) that don't mean it's going to run fast. It could be a dog! If Chrylser makes it hot enough to out run a GT500 I'm sure it'll cost a lot more than a GT500.If they build 30,000 units a year, they won't be worth a plug nickle after a couple of years.
Let's see, Charger SRT8's are listing for $43,700 in 2006, what do you think a Challenger will list for in 2008. Not to mention all the hype already in the rags. The first runs will come at a price as well. It will be a nice car, but I am afraid by them=n it will weigh 4500#'s negating any big hp.
LOL!!!! In the articles I've read, the factory is forecasting the new Challenger to be in excess of 4,200 lbs.. You think the GT500 is a pig?? The porky Challenger will soak up so much of that 425h.p. that you'll LAMENT that it didn't come with a blower... Besides, anyone who thinks that the Chrysler dealers won't be trying for similar premiums over MSRP when those things hit the showrooms is delusionally naive, and just kidding themselves. The entire premise of this thread is laughable.
The GT500 comes with an upgraded version of the tried & true T56 6-speed, the same damn tranny that Chrysler plunks in its Viper. AND.. None of the big 3, to my knowledge, build their own manual gearboxes anyhow. They all outsourse to Tremec/BW, ZF, and so-forth. They do build their own automatics, which is where Chrysler has taken some heat I believe. I also have read the R&D costs for automatic transmissions are one of the most EXPENSIVE investments automakers make. A brand-new from-scratch slushbox costs guhdzillions to develop and build. So anyhow, getting back to my point, don't fret it, he didn't even really know what he was talking about. The loose-to-false information in this thread is scary..
I second that, when i looked into buying an SRT8 Charger from seven different dealers in the central Michigan area last fall the highest over sticker anyone wanted was $10K and the lowest was 2K...For a charger..a family sedan with a big motor and a few goodies. I had a dealer call me last week offering me one under sticker. You can count on the fact that Dodge dealers will pull the same stuff for the first year out. Unless Dodge floods the market which would nullify such behavior, problem is why flood the market?, i doubt they will.
Let's put it this way, if they do charge over MSRP..It won't be any worse, than what Ford charges, for a bone stock Mustang GT. And here's why.. The Dodge boys plan to produce, at least 30,000 Challengers a year as opposed to only 8000 Shelby GT-500's per year..Plus the Challenger, isn't a limited edition, unlike the Shelby GT-500 and Plymouth Prowler..Therefore, do you really believe, Dodge is that stupid, to risk taking such a huge loss, if they pull a stunt, like that ? Just how many of those 30,000 would actually sell, if they did ?? Besides, the Challenger is being produced to compete head to head, with the Mustang GT. not with the Shelby GT-500.. But of course, that's supposedly, what the folks at DC have claimed, all along...However, I'll, "believe it", when I "see" it..
You're dreaming if you thing a 400+HP Challenger will sell for the same price as a Mustang GT. 30,000 is[/ limited production. Currently Ford is making 160,000 - 180,000 Mustangs per year. The economies of scale are very different.
It's a gotta have it kind of vehicle and there will Undoubtedly be a AMV on the Challenger when it first hits the dealer lots. I am not that ignorant to think there wouldn't be. But I don't think it will be 20K like what we see on the current Shelby cars. For sure the 400HP model will be more expensive than the Mustang GT. Maybe the 340HP version (R/T level trim) will be similarly priced though. I'd expect the price point on the SRT8 model to be similar to the Charger SRT8 in the higher 30's. But at this point we don't know anything so all of this is just filler to pass the time until 2008 gets here.
I am hoping that the Challenger comes to Canada. I really like it and would like to get one, just like I had to get a 2005 Mustang when they came out. I was the first one to order a 2005 Mustang GT from one of the Ford dealers here back in 2004 when they first hit the streets here. I got mine below MSRP, I am thinking I will be able to do the same with a Dodge product since I know the owners of a couple of Dodge dealerships very well.

Inhabitat came away from this year's BKLYN Designs raving about the originality at the Pratt students' exhibition booth. While all the designs were impressive, the one that really stood out in our minds was Ana Linares' Plur Stool. Emerging from gestural drawings and an interest in using sustainable materials, the rocking stool's gentle flowing lines combine beautifully with the unfinished look of the materials, making it look a little like a giant puzzle piece. For double utility, the lower curve also functions as a magazine rack.
The Plur Stool is made of Dakota Burl and Honeycomb Cardboard. Dakota Burl is a unique composite material made from waste sunflower seed husks, which requires very little energy for production; and Honeycomb Cardboard – a recurring fave here – is structurally strong and made from recycled waste paper. Linares ensures environmental awareness from start to finish with her stool, utilizing non-toxic and no-VOC solvents and finishes. And of course, in the end, the materials are entirely biodegradable.For more information on the Plur Stool, contact Ana Linares.

Based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks, an elderly man reads from a notebook to an elderly woman about the love story of a young couple growing up in 1940s on the South Carolina coast. CLICK HERE and watch 2009 MOVIES FOR FREE! REVIEW: From the opening image of a rower, rowing at sunset in front of a beautiful home, we know immediately, this film will be an emotional rollercoaster, and will tug on every inch of our heart strings. "The Notebook" revolves around an elderly man, Duke (James Garner), and an elderly woman, Allie (Gena Rowlands), who are living in a nursing home. Allie is suffering from dementia and struggles to remember anything about her past. Duke, other than some heart problems, seems to be in good spirits and health, and he reads from a notebook to Allie about the love story of Noah and Allie that began in the 1940s. The movie begins with Duke knocking on the door of Allie's room while her nurse is attempting to get Allie up and moving for the day. After a little convincing, Allie agrees to let Duke read to her, and as Duke begins reading from a notebook, the film cuts back to the past. The year is now 1940, and we see Noah (Ryan Gosling) walking around the county fair with his friend Fin (Kevin Connolly), and suddenly Noah spots the young Allie (Rachel McAdams) for the very first time. She is riding bumper cars and laughing uncontrollably, and Noah is immediately smitten. This scene reminds us all as humans how we either felt when we first saw our true love, or it gives us a glimpse of what it will feel like when we do see that person for the first time, and we know that from here on out, our heart will never be the same. Nick Cassavetes (The Director), does a wonderful job of illustrating this emotion within Noah by simply slowing down the frame and letting Allie's laugh and natural beauty radiate across the screen for several beats. At this point, we know as much as Noah does, he has found the key to his heart, his soul mate, and now he must find a way to make it work. Noah asks Fin who that is, and Fin explains she is Allison Hamilton, and is friends with his girlfriend Sara (Heather Wahlquist). Fin goes on to explain she is staying in Seabreeze for the summer with her parents, and that her parents are extremely wealthy. Noah seems to take all this in, and without hesitation, immediately walks up to Allie, even though about three guys are hanging all over her, and without even introducing himself, asks her to dance. Without surprise, Allie shuts him down, and while it seems Allie may be interested, she seems nervous and cautious about the situation. Noah, unsatisfied with Allie's answer, watches Allie as she rides around the gigantic ferris wheel with another gentleman. He watches for a beat, and then decides he From this scene on, Noah and Allie quickly fall in love and become inseparable, or at least until Allie's parents decide to go back to Charleston early. Allie's parents, especially her mom, feel Noah is no good for Allie simply because he does not come from a wealthy background. Personally, I thought this was a great twist in the story because this is real. Unfortunately, often there is more to relationships than love, and finances seem to dominate at times. Often love is trampled upon because of money or lack there of, and when two people, such as Allie and Noah, come from such different backgrounds, often parents impose their will, and the relationship does not stand a chance, and unfortunately, sometimes true love is crushed and forgotten. This proves true in this story as well, because once Allie leaves for the summer without a chance to tell Noah goodbye, the two fall apart and out of touch. Noah writes Allie everyday, but her mother intercepts the letters and Allie never receives them. After some time has passed, Allie begins to move on with her life. Noah, on the other hand, joins the military and is shipped off to war. Fortunately, he survives the war, comes home, and his father (Sam Shepard) has bought him the house of his dreams, the "Windsor Plantation", even though it is in much need of renovation. However, Noah only sees Allie when he gazes upon the place where Allie and him shared their most intimate moment, and he is still in love with her. While she is no longer around, his heart is in an immense amount of pain that only Allie can relieve. Allie on the other hand, is now engaged to a guy named Lon Hammond (James Marsden). Lon is extremely wealthy, comes from old, southern money, is charming, nice, and loved by Allie's parents, especially her mom. Noah is unaware of any of this until he goes to Charleston to get the building plans approved to rebuild his "new", old house. He sees Allie walking down the street while riding the bus, and in a desperate attempt to stop the bus, he finally just opens the door, jumps off, and fratically begins chasing Allie down the street. However, he loses sight of her, and finally regains sight as he glances through a restaurant window. Unfortunately, as he begins to smile by the sight of her, Lon walks into the picture and kisses Allie. This is a pivotal moment in the film because it sends Noah into a tizzy. We see and feel his pain, his anguish, his dispair, his hopelessness. Eventually, Noah finishes the house, and it is exactly as he promised Allie. The house is magnificient, and gets notoriety from the paper. Noah gets his picture taken, and in another great technique to show Noah's pain, he hands his liquour bottle to the photographer just before he snaps the shot. We get the sense that Noah has lost all hope and has reverted to drinking his sorrows away. Only Allie can erase his pain, but the liqour at least may make him forget it for awhile. It is this kind of love that I believe we all search for, and for those of us, lucky enough to find it, it never leaves us. Unfortunately, sometimes the people we love do, and therefore, we find alternate ways to deal with the intense and constant pain the lost love has left. Fortunately for Noah though, Allie sees his picture in the paper standing by the house, and comes to see him. At first he is in complete shock, but the shock quickly wears off. Shortly after, Allie and Noah find the sparks and their romance is burning strong once again, or at least till Allie's mom, played wonderfully by Joan Allen, shows up a couple days later and lets her know Lon is on his way to town. Now Allie must decide between Lon and Noah, between society or her heart, between her family or her true love. The Notebook is a classic love story, with all the ups and downs of love. However, this film gives us more than that. It gives us a true depiction of how other factors affect love, how parental influence and uprbringing can affect a great relationship, and how society and one's status in that particular society can dictate the future of love more than love itself does. But it also shows us that love, when real, can be stronger than any opponent it may encounter and can carry us humans to higher levels than any money or power could ever acheive. This movie breathes hope into the hopeless and gives us a sense that true love can conquer all!

To Dr Aziz SiddiquiReader comment on item: White House Nonchalance [toward the Middle East] Submitted by Vijay (United Kingdom), Apr 2, 2006 at 01:43 Good work, Dr. As a non-Muslim, my understanding of Islam comes not from Quran, but from the actions of Muslims as recorded in history and reported in daily newspapers. As a muslim, it is your duty to go through Quran and try to undertsand it. The gratutious violence indulged by Muslims from the beginning matches the violence of language in the Quran. In fact, the former is underpinned by the latter.Note: Opinions expressed in comments are those of the authors alone and not necessarily those of Daniel Pipes. Original writing only, please.

I booked my stay very last minute, but that was no problem at all. The hostel is only 50 meters away from a busstop to the hill. I really enjoyed my stay here. The staff was only there when there were check-ins or check-out, so I didn't see them very often. When they were there, they helped me with the stuff I needed.

Some remarks on stability for a phase-field model with memory
Grinfeld, M. and Novick-Cohen, A. (2006) Some remarks on stability for a phase-field model with memory. Discrete and Continuous Dynamical Systems - Series A, 15 (4). pp. 1089-1117. ISSN 1078-0947

The phase field system with memory can be viewed as a phenomenological extension of the classical phase equations in which memory effects have been taken into account in both fields. Such memory effects could be important for example during phase transition in polymer melts in the proximity of the glass transition temperature where configurational degrees of freedom in the polymer melt constitute slowly relaxing "internal modes" which are di±cult to model explicitly. They should be relevant in particular to glass-liquid-glass transitions where re-entrance effects have been recently reported [27]. We note that in numerical studies based on sharp interface equations obtained from (PFM), grains have been seen to rotate as they shrink [35, 36]. While further modelling and numerical efforts are now being undertaken, the present manuscript is devoted to strengthening the analytical underpinnings of the model.

Saturday. May. 29th. VIII:20.
After a breakfast a la Solitaire, I sat with the family all the Morning neglecting my usual walk which I find has been of such advantage to me since my stay here. Mrs. Harrod the sister in law of Mrs. Adams appears to be a woman perfectly versed in the really "bon ton" of society. She has more ease than I expected and appears a lady of very good breeding. The contrast is always striking between natural and artificial manners and makes me a convert to one great point of aristocracy, that is, the real difference which does exist between men bred naturally and those who have formed themselves. The latter are always over civil but not half so agreable. The little girl has come here to be put to School at Miss Marston's which is now quite a flourishing academy.
Deservedly I think for I believe the women to be really worthy although they breathe a little too much of the spirit of methodistical piety.
I read a short poem of Lyttelton's which is in the rural style consequently is not remarkably apt for criticism. Thus I passed the day, about as slothfully take it altogether as any this vacation. I did not notice that I was in a passion at Mrs. A. last night, she disclosing herself for once and speaking of the Adams family in such a way as to put me in a violent passion. I subdued it however and so I thought it necessary only to mention the circumstance without particulars.
In the afternoon George came out in the stage as usual and after a walk in the garden we went in, I immediately to my Grandfather where I read a part of an article in the last North American Review. It was on a History of Philosophy.
I did not see enough to judge as I stopped at nine o'clock. From here I came to supper and was doomed
{ 163 }
to a severe trial of my temper. My Uncle sitting next to me took occasion to be affronted at me for what I do not know, but he tried to provoke me into a quarrel with him. Many bitter things he said which stirred my blood but conscious of the extreme folly of making a difficulty with him I remained silent. This being perceived, he sprang up and went off declaring that there was no congeniality among us. This took off the chill which had been thrown upon the company but my blood was running fast all the evening. And I was fearful my absence would be noticed. After the family had retired, he came in cooled down, and we spent half an hour with him before going upstairs. I could not sleep until long after I laid down but spent the time in conversation with George on the subject of the whole of that family and our own. XI: 30.

Jumana's Henna Art (some call it Henna designs, Henna tattoos, Mehndi ). I am a professional Henna/Mehndi artist for many years. As a professional Henna/Mehndi artist I do traditional, as well as non-traditional Henna/Mehndi designs. I like to do the Henna Mehndi designs free hand. I use only natural Henna powder and all natural ingredients, like lemons, tea, tamarind, coffee, spices and eucalyptus oil, etc to prepare the Henna paste. I am an Henna artist available for all ocassions. No event is too big or small Henna event for us as we have additional Henna/Mehndi artists available.


text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) --As banks and money managers gear up to comply with new derivatives rules stemming from Dodd-Frank and Basel 3, technology vendors are elbowing each other out of the way to capture a share of the new business. "It's going to be a bonanza for these IT firms," says Sean Owens, director of fixed income at Woodbine Associates and author of a new report assessing nine different vendors in the new space. The largest of the vendors is Sungard, owned by Silver Lake, Bain Capital Partners, The Blackstone Group ( BX), Goldman Sachs ( GS), Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. ( KKR), Providence Equity Partners and Texas Pacific Group. Algorhythmics, a division of IBM ( IBM), has a bigger foothold in the critical business of collateral management, however. As a result of new regulations, companies that trade derivatives will be required to post collateral to back their positions, which they must increase each day if their trade begins losing money. Initial estimates of the amount of new collateral that will be required to back derivatives trading under the new rules range from $800 billion to $2 trillion. While the need to adjust collateral daily is what will spur companies to upgrade their systems, Owens believes many will use the opportunity to "adopt a more comprehensive integration of risk, liquidity and collateral management," according to his report. In addition to the IT vendors, custody banks including Northern Trust ( NTRS), State Street Corp. ( BX) , BNY Mellon ( BK)and JPMorgan Chase ( JPM) will gain business from firms that want to outsource collateral management and related capabilities. Given the relative size of these institutions, however, Owens doesn't expect the added collateral management business will have a noticeable effect on earnings. Rather, it looks like collateral management will be relegated to sleepy backwater status at most firms--at least until something blows up. -- Written by Dan Freed in New York. Follow @dan_freed

Can't get Guitar Hero or Guitar Hero 2 to work properly on my PS2 Slim
June 2007
Hi, and thanks in advance.
I have a PS2 slim and this question concerns my copies of Guitar Hero and Guitar Hero 2. When I went to play GH2 this evening, the start-up screen loaded at a normal speed but once the game itself began loading, the loading time for every game screen took anywhere between 5 and 10 times it's normal length to load! Moreover, when I did get to finally access songs, they sound completely choppy and are not in sync with the images appearing on screen.
I thought maybe it could be the game, so I tried Guitar Hero (the first one) and it pretty much did the same thing, except it loaded to a certain part of the intro, where the video froze and the sound kept skipping like a wayward CD.
At this point I thought something was up with my PS2, so I tried a couple other games, and they worked completely fine. No loading lag, no gameplay interference, and all the sounds etc. match up.
I'm stumped as to why it's only affecting GH and GH2? :confused: I doubt this is a "known" issue but perhaps you can help me figure things out. I really don't know if this is a hardware or software issue anymore, so I took a chance and posted here.
Thanks again for your time!
UPDATE: None of my games work now, I'm stuck on "Reading disc..." screen with each game. Running the Auto-diagnosis thing doesn't seem to help at all, either...I'm probably gonna have to buy a new system eh...
September 2007
I would like to bump this up and get an answer I'm having the same problem.
I bought Guitar Hero 2 and played it for about 3 weeks having a blast, every once in a while the song would lag for a second putting it out of sync. Then it started freezing. Now I cant get the game to load.
Whenever I put GH2 in the playstation it just clicks and clicks and clicks then does nothing and a black screen.
If I play any other game, it loads up and plays fine, no clicking etc, played final fantasy for 2 hours last night.
I opened the ps and cleaned the eye and oiled the bars and the game actually started loading the first time i rehooked it up but then froze out again and now wont load up like old times once again at all.
Please help! I really want to play guitar hero and I dont have the cash to buy another playstation.
September 2007
So I bought the most recent PS2 build, found a used one on eBay for about 60 bucks. No problems so far, except the occasional lag. Calibrating it seems to work most of the time when it does lag, but other times it does nothing at all.
I've been saving up for a PS3 and hope that doesnt experience the same sorts of issue with GH3, or any other GH for that matter....
Good luck on fixing your problem! I still haven't found a reasonable explanation/solution anywhere, and I HAVE looked... :rolleyes: If I do run across anything I'll be sure to post it here -

Lipgloss bids farewell to Chase Dobson and prepares to welcome new resident DJ
Speaking of club nights that take a lickin' and keep on tickin', evidently, The Solution isn't the only night that has proven resilient. Lipgloss, now approaching its tenth year, has endured the exit of two of its founders, Tim Cook and Tyler Jacobson, and has had several noteworthy residents such as Soup and Chase Dobson pass through its ranks. Say what? Did you just refer to Chase Dobson in the past tense?
Indeed we did, and if you're wondering why, it's because because good ole' c.db.sn is about to step down from his residency to focus on creating original music for Tympanik Audio (congrats on that, BTW). As Dobson makes his way out, a new resident will be joining Boyhollow behind the decks on Friday, February 25, option4 (Brennen Bryarly) -- who has guested at Lipgloss a number of times, and, as you might recall, recently remixed a tune by Jonathan & BPro.

Getting a job teaching English in Japan is easier than you might think. In some cases, all you need is a college degree in any area of study. Still, if you want to get the best--and highest paid--teaching jobs in japan you should take the time to make yourself a desirable candidate. Here are a few ways to increase your chances of landing the most coveted jobs teaching English as a second language in Japan.
Get Your TEFL Certificate
Although not all jobs teaching English overseas require it, a TEFL certificate will greatly increase the odds of landing a great teaching position in Japan. Thankfully, it's a relatively simple process: Either take an online course to get your tefl certificate or attend an on-site course in a brick-and-mortar school. On-site courses for certification are usually offered as weekend classes but longer, more intensive programs are available for those who want to teach English as a second language professionally.
Learn Japanese
Being fluent in Japanese is not a requirement for many teaching jobs in Japan, but knowing the language can help you secure a spot in a more prestigious school. Even a basic understanding of conversational Japanese will make your resume stand out when you're applying for teaching positions. Many universities and community colleges offer adult education courses in Japanese, or you can arrange to work with a Japanese tutor in your area.
Volunteer in Your Hometown
Volunteering to teach English as a second language in your own area will give you valuable experience and help make you stand out as an applicant when you start searching for a position to teach in japan. Check the volunteer opportunities in your area; most cities have programs where you can help teach English to immigrants or political refugees. Public schools that have recently immigrated students who need help learning English may also have after-school programs you can volunteer for.
Interview With JET
JET, or the Japan Exchange Teaching Program, is a government-run program that interviews and hires potential teaching candidates and places them in positions around the country. If you're accepted, there are a lot of advantages--typically, your transportation, room and board are payed for by the program. Still, they only accept applications once each year and the interview process can be a bit daunting. But if you're suitably qualified and are searching for a top-notch position, JET may be the way to go.
If you've always wanted to teach overseas, Japan offers many opportunities to teach English as a second language. You can increase your chances of getting hired by following the tips above.

About "Rare Beauty"
(Since this is a model car, I will only accept challenges from other models, toys, and "Non-Car" cars!)
The 1970-73 Camaro is one of my all-time favorite car designs, and easily the best looking car ever to carry the Camaro name, at least to me. This is one incredibly rare model that I had wanted to add to my collection for a long time. The opportunity came up about a decade ago when I answered an ad in the local "Penny Pincher" from a guy who was getting out of the hobby and wanted to sell roughly 120 models - semi-built, started, just opened, or unopened in the plastic wrap. He also included various paints, tools, and modeling supplies. All of this for $350 o.b.o. I was the first response he'd had after the ad had been runningfor nearly three months, so he jumped at my lowball offer of $250 cash. This AMT 1970 Camaro SS396 was included in the lot. Since this is such a rare model (It was the only time a 2nd-generation Camaro was kitted with a standard front end, and also the only time with a vinyl top molded in) I figured this would be my only opportunity to build one! It was started, and the body, chassis, and interior were already painted... badly! I dunked the whole lot in my stripping bath for a couple of days and it all came out like new. I decided to build it as a stock appearing car, so I went with the factory optional wheel covers and RWL tires. It was finished in triple black for a "sporty-but-mean" look.

Well I'm a very laid back person, most of the time :-) I try to challenge myself by trying new and different things - even if it's a little bit scary. Ask me about jetskiing... lol I'm a great listener, I like meeting new people... If it's possible to be both shy and outgoing at the same time, then that's me.
I'm currently working on my 2nd half marathon... Plan to do it faster this time around - I guess if I run the whole way that would help. I just like to stay active and appreciate someone that likes to do the same. We only have one body, we need to take care of it :-)
I'm very involved in my church. I work with the youth some, I organize the music, and also I'm also working to get our "AV" room up and running. I love music, I sing a little, play a little... I know that God works in mysterious ways and usually when we least expect it. All we can do is hand over the reins to Him and let Him lead. I pray that He guides you and I on this journey to the one He's designed for us. Feel free to drop me a line. Be blessed.

Why is it never about the victims?
August 9, 1969 -- Susan Atkins participates and aids in the brutal murders of five people, one of whom was two weeks away from giving birth and allowed to plead for the life of her unborn child before being stabbed sixteen times.
August 10, 1969 -- Susan Atkins was present and giving support during the home invasion and vicious stabbing of a husband -- which paused only to go stab his wife 41 times, before returning to the still-alive husband and continuing to stab him until his death.
Susan Atkins confessed to all of this -- and more -- during Grand Jury testimony; in conversations with other inmates and in her autobiography.
Susan Atkins was found guilty and convicted of murder, and on March 29, 1971, she was sentenced to death.
Note that she received the death penalty for her actions.
As a result of People v. Anderson in 1972, Susan Atkins' sentence was commuted to life in prison.
Life. In. Prison.
Here recently, Susan Atkins' lawyer/husband has issued a press release contending that Susan Atkins has brain cancer and is down to weeks to live.
He has filed for a "compassionate release" for Susan Atkins, so that she may leave prison and spend her last days in the comfort of family, friends and freedom.
She would not be the first murderer that California has "compassionately released". The reason given is cited (amongst others) as cost effectiveness -- medical care is expensive.
Keep that in mind the next time someone tells you that the death penalty is more expensive than Life in Prison.
As far as Susan Atkins goes, I have two things to say about that:
1) Sharon Tate's child would have been 39 this year. She would probably have had children of her own. She would have laughed, loved and been loved, made good choices and bad, danced, watched sunsets, broken hearts, had her heart broken, lived, learned, and made her mark under the stars in the way that everyone else does.
Except that a pack of monsters slaughtered her before she even got a chance to see the light of day. Butchered her as her mother begged for her unborn life -- and Susan Atkins laughed about it.
2) The sentence was 'life in prison' and Susan Atkins is still alive -- thus I don't think that the sentence has been fully carried out as yet.
Susan Atkins should be grateful for the extra 39 years, for the chances to marry, to simply draw breath each morning -- for being able to do all the small things each of those 39 years ... that she denied her victims.
26 comments:
Everybody is dying, just a queston of time. How would a more immediate estimation of her end make her special again?
Oh yeah, it doesn't...
I hope she finally realizes the wrong she has done while she sits in prison, waiting for the end. - 9:48 PM

"Cost effective?"
Just think how cost effective a .22 hollow point to the base of the skull would have been...
(And I haven't even been reading H. Beam Piper lately! I may have to remedy that...) - 9:49 PM
Sharon Tate's baby was a boy, named Paul Richard, and buried in his mother's arms. Compassionate release for an animal who could stab a pregnant woman to death? I don't think so. Let the bitch rot. Her life was spared decades ago.
- Epijunky said...
I couldn't agree more with anon...
Let the bitch rot.
She was given a life sentence, she should serve a life sentence. She's still alive. - 10:49 PM
- Peter said...
Well said, I couldn't agree more.
i'm with the majority opinion so far, there was no empathy or compassion when she murdered sharon tate and her unborn child, why should there be any now that atkins is facing her own end. leave her in the cell and waste no sympathy on her, she had none for her victim.
"gunner" - 1:39 AM
Let her husband/lawyer share her cell if he is so concerned about her. I remember that case and the article about it in "Life" magazine. That whole crew should have been forced to dig their own graves, thrown into them alive, and buried.

Her sentence was death, originally. It was commuted to life in prison when the Supreme Court invalidated CA's capital punishment verdicts in 1972.
All things considered, that "human" has already sucked down way more oxygen than was originally allotted to her by the court.
But hey, she turned into a Born-Again Christian in jail, so that makes it all right. Right? - 5:16 AM

She should rot.
Or - if they are worried about costs, maybe they should just give her the sentence she originally had. - 6:57 AM

It's still not too late for a lethal injection.

"Compassionate release", huh? I don't think so, Suziepoo.
It's a sad sign for our society that many have decided that we are too sophisticated to administer the death penalty. Arguments about cost, deterrence, or anything else are foolish. As a society we have the right, no the responsibility, to remove verminous scum such as you from our society. If you were not caught, how many more would you and the Manson gang have murdered?
It's ironic that you are dying from cancer, because you and your ilk are a cancer on decent society.
You should die alone, away from the ones you love and who love you. I can think of no more fitting end. - 8:07 AM
Why should holding her in Jail cost more for medical care?
"Life in Prison" should imply " we extend that life with any but basic medical care. In fact aything that shortens that life strikes me as a bonus all around.
I'll allow for morphine in the case of pain, it's cheap and I'm merciful. - 8:42 AM

Said it over at Marko's, I'll say it here. Her sentence isn't served 'til they put her in a rubber bag. That's what a life-sentence is.
If I *have* to look at her case closely, then I'd with-hold medication, put her on bread and water and keep the cell door locked.
Asking for clemency is pure proof that she's learned nary a f***ing thing. - 11:20 AM
Let her rot. literally. Not only should she die in prison, but be buried on the prison grounds. Even dead, freedom is too good for her.

put me down for the..."let the bitch rot" vote.
She's always been on my "I'm gonna piss on your grave when you die" list, along with the rest of the Manson clan.

Dispassionately, Shane, always dispassionately.
Calmly, with consideration for the road which may lie ahead, and for the youngers who may emulate our actions, or hold them up as acts of barbarism to be eschewed.
Calmly, quietly explain that it is not right for good people to pay for this unproductive person to receive medical attention. We should not rob at gunpoint good citizens to pay for vile murderesses. That's all.
And so, no more medication, just bread, water and a locked door.
Goodbye, Suzie. - 2:22 PM
Sorry no, can't feel any twinge of sympathy at all. And I am as tenderhearted as they come.
The day the last of the Manson group dies is going to be a very good day indeed.

No morphine, no nothing. The Manson 'Family' had no compassion nor mercy for the pain they inflicted on people; in fact, they did it on purpose. I don't care if she does realize the wrong she has done; I doubt she could ever do so unless it was with an ulterior motive that would benefit herself.
No matter what Suzie suffers, it will never make up for the agony and loss in which she willingly, eagerly, avidly participated.
Yes, I am of the 'eye for an eye' mindset and all this "forgiveness is good for you" is a bunch of BS. Pain for pain, death for death. Full stop.

If there's any justice, her last thoughts will be an endless loop of those horrible nights replayed over and over in whatever's left of her mind.
Request for compassionate release DENIED.
Unless a needle stick has been deemed cruel and unusual by the California courts, I too will allow morphine as needed so as to spare the medical staff the agony of watching someone in pain. - 4:27 AM
This weekend, via another blog I read an article about a woman in OR. She was denied (under Medicaid) coverage for Tarceva for her recurrent lung cancer, but they would fund drugs for assisted suicide. (http://www.registerguard.com/csp/cms/sites/dt.cms.support.viewStory.cls?cid=106873&sid=1&fid=1)
Several months ago, I saw a show detailing how a cop-killer in, I think, CO was receiving care for his metastatic colon cancer. Because he was paraplegic (he was shot but not killed in his run on several policemen's lives), and the resultant poor nutritional status secondary to chemo/cancer he was being kept in a hospital ward on an air-flow mattress....big bucks for that.
Why does our society make it easier for people who have cruelly injured others to receive care while the working poor/the disabled have no access to care?
Another topic, I know.....but somehow, this just seems not right. Perhaps, we could arrange for for Susan Atkins to be cared for under the Oregon Health Plan, eh? I wonder what care OR's prisoners receive.
PS: Sorry if the link to the article doesn't work; the link is long, and I am not proficient with html) - 11:32 AM
I am of the opinion that the only thing that should be compassionately released with respect to her is the sear.

Everyone in America has access to health care. And a slight majority of them don't seem to be paying for it, either. - 8:29 AM
Quite frankly, I think it's outrageous that someone like her was allowed to marry in prison. I sure as Hell don't want her last days made "easier". Or happier. Or less painful.
I don't think we should deprive inmates of medical care, HOWEVER, what is the benefit of providing medical care for someone with a life sentence who is terminally ill? And, to give her a taste of compassion, like she has shown to her victims, I believe we should save the taxpayers the expense of pain medication in her final days.
Bitch. - 9:30 AM
I must say I don't have an ounce of sympathy for susan atkins. She deserves to stay right where she is and I second the 'NO PAIN MEDS AT ALL" Why would she feel that she deserves any type of forgiveness for her part in the horrendous acts she participated in!!
The "Only bread and water" works for me also. But make it stale bread.

compassionate release is that in this case not a .44 magnum double tap?
I mean that is compassion compared to my thoughts in the matter. - 7:43 AM
