Static images (e.g., pictures) are acceptable. Please do not enable any document security settings or password-protect any PDF file you submit to us.
No attachment should be more than 2 MB.

Excess pages will be removed and not be reviewed.

1. | Reichstag | ||
The capitol of the German Parliament before and during World War II. It was burned by Adolf Hitler as he took over Germany and instituted the Third Reich into the center of the power structure. Soviet forces captured it in 1945 during the fall of Berlin, shortly before the Nazi surrender. It has since been replaced with the post-Nazi German Parliament, the Bundesrath. Alexei was part of the Soviet force that took the Reichstag from the Nazis.
2. | Reichstag | ||
The symbol of Germany democracy, burned down in the thirties. A dutch communist in the building that night was executed for the burning down, but it was beneficial to the new nazi government in permanent postponement of democracy. It is unclear who burned down the reichstag; The nazis; Communist parties; Van der Lubbe?
3. | reichstag | ||
Taken from the Reichstag (see Wiki) fire in Germany before World War II which blamed the Polish for burning a German parliament building, however it was a 'false flag' (again, see wiki) operation, covert and conducted by ones own government to be blamed on one or more foreigners to drum up support to declare war against supposed foreign perpetrator(s). person 1: Did you see this video on YouTube?
person 2: yeah, man. Clearly illustrates how 9/11 was a reichstag. See all the small blasts blowing out lower windows? They're from charges firing to cut support beams so the entire skyscraper will collapse upon itself onto it's own footprint. It's easy to see but some people deny all evidence and think the US government can do no wrong. |
4. | reichstag | ||
The Reichstag was the capital of the German Parliament during WWII. A dutch communist was in the building that night, and was executed for the crime. Although many thought the Germans themselves did it, to the contrary, it was the dutchman. However, it was beneficial to the new Nazi government under Chancellor Hitler in permanent postponement of democracy. This event is comparable to 9/11, it provoked fear, exacerbated by the government, which is slowly resulting in the halt of democracy and the establishment of a dictatorship. Reichstag is to Adolf Hitler as September 11th is to George W. Bush.
5. | Reichstag | ||
The original German Parliament, but now also used as a byword for 'awesome' or something of 'epic proportions'. Simliar to modern use of the word 'krieg' (german for war) within the metal community. "Slayer ist reichstag"
person 1: Dude have you hear about Varg trying to skip out on his parole? person 2: yeah, dude, even in prison, he's pure fucking reichstag! |

Welcome to the Hansen family blog. A photographic journal of our adventures. Ever since we got a D-SLR, my husband and I have been honing our photography skills. And now, we can't wait to post pictures for everyone. Check back often, because we'll keep sharing.
Thought this tree was perfect for nestling a family portrait. For this shot, I triggered the camera with my smartphone using this wireless adapter.* It also lets me wirelessly upload images to the web. It's so much easier to share this way! I posted this shot as soon as I saw it.
We couldn't believe that this fawn was sitting so comfortably, considering how loud the kids can be. Yet there she was to give me this amazingly detailed shot. I can crop in really tight on the glint in her eye, and it's still really sharp. Clarity like this makes you appreciate having a 24 MP sensor.
After a few attempts at this waterfall shot, I called on my new BFF: Guide Mode (built-in to my D3200). It showed me how to slow the shutter speed down, making the water look silky. I love how it turned out.
Once the kids found this maze, they couldn't stop running it! You can clearly see the benefits of HD video, but take note of the D3200's full-time auto focus. Watch how it stays sharp as the kids run towards me.
"What an amazing day-trip. Shot some gorgeous photos and videos, the weather was pristine and the kids had a blast. Then to top it all, we spotted Ashton Kutcher in the middle of the woods!"
I'm learning that there's more to a great shot than a great camera. Techniques like the Rule of Thirds make compositions more interesting. My D3200 has a grid option on the LCD for just that purpose, which really helped me compose this keeper.
After lunch, Chris took us to watch a nearby mountain bike race he read about. We saw Ashton Kutcher among the spectators, taking photos! Too shy to talk to him, but I still got this great shot and posted it* to Facebook. I got 20 Likes in 20 minutes!
I've always liked the look of action shots with crisp subjects and blurred backgrounds. I tried to recreate the effect with this biker. First I slowed the shutter speed. Then as he rode by, I panned the camera to follow him, while capturing this shot. Cool effect, huh?!
"When we bought a D-SLR, I didn't expect it to be easy. But with the D3200 and its guidemode, I've been pleasantly surprised…and inspired to go out and take more pictures!"
Chris took this portrait with the help of Guide Mode. It showed him how to adjust aperture, which brought the focus on Jacob and me then softened the background. It creates a sense of depth with the surroundings. Beautiful, right?
I found this Selective Color feature in the Retouch Menu. I had the kids feed the koi with bread so I could snap some great photos. Then I adjusted them to highlight only the orange. It's interesting how colors are more vivid in the absence of others, you know?
One of the reasons we bought a D-SLR is for the range of lens possibilities. I spent some time shooting this tree, using a wide angle at 10mm and then switching to my zoom lens at 70mm. Same tree, very distinct feeling. Goes to show you how a lens can make all the difference.
I let the kids take this one. I know, impressive. But I set it up for them…with Guide Mode's help! It showed me how to adjust the camera's aperture and put the full scene in focus (unlike the soft background portrait with Jacob). What a beautiful couple, right? :)
"What a full day! Everyone got a turn using the D3200, even Jacob and Sophie. I posted some great shots and Chris got a few he plans to print and frame. Stay tuned for more Hansen highlights!" - Molly
The WU-1a wireless mobile adapter (sold separately) connects the D3200 to your smartphone. Just download the free app, then connect the WU-1a to the camera. Now you can trigger the shutter or share images with your social networks. It's easy. Learn more >

Wall Street suffered its bloodiest day of the year Friday as U.S. stocks sank more than 2% following an ugly jobs report. The Dow erased all its gains for the year, and the S&P 500 and Nasdaq moved into correction territory, down more than 10% from the year's highs.
The sell-off was broad, with all 30 Dow components ending in the red, and 97% of the S&P 500 closing lower.
As jittery investors fled stocks, they plowed into the safety of U.S. government debt, pushing the yields on the 10-year Treasury note and the 30-year Treasury bond to fresh record lows.
The Dow Jones industrial average plunged 275 points, or 2.2%, the biggest one-day drop since November. The blue-chip index gave up all its gains for the year, and is now 99 points below where it finished 2011. The S&P 500 lost 32 points, or 2.5%, and the Nasdaq dropped 80 points, or 2.8%.
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq are now down more than 10% from their highs of the year, which means they are officially in what investors call a correction.
"The U.S. employment report was simply terrible," said Marc Chandler, global head of currency strategy at Brown Brothers Harriman.
The May jobs report showed only 69,000 jobs were added to payrolls, less than half the 150,000 jobs forecast by economists surveyed by CNNMoney. The unemployment rate ticked higher for the first time in a year, rising to 8.2%.
The CNNMoney Fear and Greed index showed investor confidence sliding even farther into "extreme fear" territory on the news.
"The move in bond markets is even more telling," said Joe Saluzzi, co-head of equity trading at Themis Trading. "A 1.5% 10-year yield? That's fear."
Bond yields have been in record low territory for the past couple of weeks, as fears of Europe's escalating debt crisis have been building. A report on Friday showed the eurozone unemployment rate at a record high of 11%.

Updated: 28 min agoActor James Gandolfini, 51, dies of cardiac arrest
LOS ANGELES (AP) — James Gandolfini's lumbering, brutish mob boss with the tortured psyche will endure as one of TV's indelible characters. But his portrayal of criminal Tony Soprano in HBO's landmark drama series "The Sopranos" was just one facet of an actor who created a rich legacy of film and stage work in a life cut short. Gandolfini, 51, who died Wednesday while vacationing in Rome, refused to be bound by his star-making role in the HBO series that brought him three Emmy Awards during its six-season run. "He was a genius," said "Sopranos" creator David Chase. "Anyone who saw him even in the smallest of his performances knows that. He is one of the greatest actors of this or any time. A great deal of that genius

ATCHISON, Kan. (AP) — After most of the world's population is wiped off the map by a wayward meteorite or hail of nuclear missiles, the survival of the human race might just depend on a few thousand people huddled in recreational vehicles deep in the bowels of an eastern Kansas mine. That's the vision of a California man who is creating what he calls the world's largest private underground survivor shelter, using a complex of limestone caves dug more than 100 years ago beneath gently rolling hills overlooking the Missouri River. "I do believe I am on a mission and doing a spiritual thing," said Robert Vicino, who has purchased a large portion of the former U.S. Army storage facility on the southeast edge of Atchison, about

Serena Williams says she's reaching out to the family of the victim in the Steubenville rape case after the tennis star was quoted in a Rolling Stone article saying "she shouldn't have put herself in that position." "I am currently reaching out to the girl's family to let her know that I am deeply sorry for what was written in the Rolling Stone article," Williams said in a statement released through her agent Wednesday. "What was written — what I supposedly said — is insensitive and hurtful, and I by no means would say or insinuate that she was at all to blame." The comment was made in one paragraph of a lengthy story posted online Tuesday about Williams, a 16-time Grand Slam title winner who is ranked No. 1 heading into

LOS ANGELES (AP) — It was a call from a Mexican citizen who recognized the photo of a former University of Southern California professor on the FBI's most-wanted list that gave authorities the final tip they needed to bring in a man suspected of sex crimes with children who had slipped through their fingers when he abruptly left town two years ago. An FBI agent at the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City got the tip less than 24 hours after the bureau added Walter Lee Williams, 64, to its well-known Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list. Since 2011, FBI agents along with the Los Angeles Police Department had worked to build a case against Williams, who had taught history, anthropology and gender studies.

WASHINGTON (AP) — After secretive talks, key senators expressed optimism Wednesday night that they were closing in on a bipartisan agreement to dramatically toughen the border security requirements in immigration legislation that also offers a path to citizenship to millions living in the country illegally. Lawmakers and aides alike said the goal was to assure passage of the sweeping legislation by a large bipartisan vote within a matter of days. Under the emerging compromise, the government would grant legal status to immigrants living in the United States unlawfully at the same time the additional security was being put into place at a cost of tens of billions of dollars.

EVERGREEN, Colo.

The Lime Gulch Fire in Pike National Forest was small but devouring trees about 30 miles southwest of Denver in southern Jefferson County. More than 100 people were told to leave, but no structures appeared to be threatened, Jefferson County Sheriff Ted Mink said. "The good news is, it's a very sparsely populated area as far as houses go," Mink said. He said the fire might have been sparked by lightning a day earlier, then quickly grew in high winds Wednesday. The U.S. Forest Service estimated it was burning on
Updated: 9 hr agoFormer TWA Flight 800 investigators want new probe
MINEOLA, N.Y. (AP) — Former investigators are pushing to reopen the probe into the 1996 crash of TWA Flight 800, saying new evidence points to the often-discounted theory that a missile strike may have downed the jumbo jet. The New York-to-Paris flight crashed July 17, 1996, minutes after it took off from John F. Kennedy International Airport, killing all 230 people aboard. The effort to reopen the probe is being made in tandem with the release next month of a documentary that features the testimony of former investigators who raise doubts about the National Transportation Safety Board's conclusion that the crash was caused by a center fuel tank explosion, probably caused by a spark from a short-circuit in the wiring.

text: March, 2013. The watch that changed the world was born 30 years ago. March 1, 1983, the first 12 models made their debut. Looking back now, they seem unlikely heroes, but events soon revealed their true identity: they were the avant-garde, the shock troops of a revolution named Swatch. Today, after three decades of sly wit, audacious innovation, playful provocation and inexhaustible joie de vivre, Swatch has every reason to celebrate. Those first 12 watches from 1983 have been followed by millions, and now there is one that brings it all back to mind — the impossible, incredible story of Swatch: SWATCH Est. 1983 (SUOZ161). A New Gent, SWATCH Est. 1983 features a transparent plastic case and strap and a skeleton dial offering a clear view of the movement within. Key components are highlighted in gold; on one, a golden driving wheel, the word CELEBRATE appears twice, in black. And printed in gold on a broad silver band are all those extraordinary years, from 1983 to 2013. Each year brings back memories of one or another fantastic Swatch watch: a POP, Scuba 200, heavy-metal Irony, colourful Gent, seductive Skin or high-tech Touch — not to mention those amazing creations by artists, athletes, fashion designers and — who could possibly forget? — the first Swatch watch you ever owned …!

TORRINGTON >> Police here helped law enforcement north of Chicago nab a suspect in a child abduction case, reportedly in an effort of "professionalism and teamwork," by making information public through Torrington Chief of Police Michael Maniago's monthly reports.
A Sept. 21 signed letter from Gurnee (Illinois) Police Department Chief of Police Kevin M. Woodside to Maniago and the Torrington police, thanked the northwest Connecticut unit for its assistance in arresting a child abduction suspect wanted by Gurnee police.
Although Woodside was unavailable for comment Wednesday, he said in correspondence to Manaiago that the "professionalism and assistance from members of the Torrington Police Department was instrumental in the arrest of Matthew R. Totten and the location of the missing child, Kaylee Totten.
"This is an excellent example of police professionalism and teamwork," Woodside wrote to Torrington police. "Through joint efforts a child was safely reunited with her mother and the offender was taken into custody without incident."
Totten was apprehended by Torrington Police on Sept. 19, after Gurnee Police detectives put in a call to the department the day before. Totten had an arrest warrant for child abduction in Illinois, and was being investigated by the Gurnee department.
According to Woodside's correspondence to Maniago, Torrington's detectives pinged Totten's cell phone two blocks away from Oak Avenue and took him and the child into custody.
The abducted child was taken to the hospital for an evaluation and then reunited with her mother, Woodside said.

Tampa Bay Lightning 2012-2013 Season Preview:
During the Tampa Bay Lightning's 20th year in existence in the NHL, the team got younger and faster at a variety of positions, but it didn't exactly translate to the win-loss column. The Lightning finished the 2011-12 season with a 38-36-8 record and ranked 10th in the Eastern Conference standings. However, heading into next season, the Lightning have restocked their roster from top to bottom and could overcome many of the deficiencies that plagued them throughout last season. With a mixture of savvy veterans and talented young players, the Lightning certainly have a great shot at returning to the Stanley Cup playoffs this year. Offensively, the Lightning have boasted one of the most vaunted scoring attacks of the past several years, lead by center Steve Stamkos who scored 60 goals and finished last season with 90 points. He is joined on the first line by wingers Ryan Malone and Martin St. Louis, who proved to be valuable contributors whenever they were on the ice. While the team also added Benoit Pouliot to round out their scoring offense, the unit remains largely unchanged from a year ago and should continue to be one of the most dangerous squads in the Eastern Conference. Defensive deficiencies were the undoing of the Lightning during the 2011-12 campaign, but general manager Steve Yzerman made sure that the team would be far grittier and more prepared this season. The team picked up Matt Carle to become a bit more physical on defense, and he will joined competent players like Eric Brewer and Sami Salo in improving the Lightning's power play and penalty kill opportunities. The biggest change will come at goaltender as the team traded for goalie Anders Lindback and picked up Mathieu Garon to back him up. The Lightning gave up the most goals out of any team in the NHL last year, so they have nowhere to go but up. Looking ahead to the 2012-13 season, the Lightning will open up the season against their cross-state rivals, the Florida Panthers, on Saturday, October 13. They will come back home the following Tuesday for their home opener against the New York Islanders. The team will face off against the defending Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles Kings on November 17, which should give fans a good idea of just how far the Lightning can go this year.

Tampa Bay Lightning plays hockey in the Southeast Division of the Eastern Conference of the National Hockey League (NHL). The Tampa Bay Lightning first began playing hockey in 1992 as part of that year's NHL expansion. He team began with some success for an expansion franchise, but it would be short-lived, and by the end of the 1990's the team was at the bottom of the league. A rebuild and the acquisition of young talent worked beyond Lightning fans' wildest dreams. The team made the conference semis in 2003 and then roared to the Stanley Cup and won in 2004. After the lockout of 2004/2005, the Tampa Bay Lightning would struggle to make the playoffs, but with some off-season tweaks, hopes are high again for success.
The Tampa Bay Lightning play their home games at the Tampa Bay Times Forum (formerly nicknamed the Ice Palace, and St. Pete Times Forum). The arena holds 19,500 spectators for hockey games. Entering the glittery glass building, you'll see a large mural celebrating the 2004 Stanley Cup win. Buy Tampa Bay Lightning tickets and see if the team can repeat history this season!

The Lady Wave used a 24-point scoring margin in the second half Tuesday to punch a 63-42 victory over the Kossuth Lady Aggies, part of the Golden Wave Tip-Off Challenge.
"We really didn't have to change our game plan," Justice said. "We really got everything we wanted in the first half, the shots just were not going in.
"We just kept applying pressure, kept grinding."
In their opener, the Lady Aggies (0-1) played their way to a 24-21 halftime advantage. Then, the Lady Wave (2-0) grabbed the momentum by the tail in the third quarter.
Tupelo went on a 15-2 run to open the period, capped by a pair of baskets by sophomore Jaleigha Polk, moving to a 36-26 lead.
The Lady Wave made another push to begin the fourth quarter. An 11-0 run to begin the period saw a pair of baskets by sophomore Braxton Thomas, and Tupelo was in command at 53-32.
Feeling pressured
"We're young, and we let their pressure get to us," first year Kossuth head coach Rick Howell said. "They got us out of our offense, and we couldn't get back in it.
"We did OK for a half, but in the second half, we got scared."
Polk led Tupelo with 20 points. Baylee Turner led Kossuth with 12.
"In the first half, we were a little passive on offense," Justice said. "They threw a zone at us, and after we adjusted we were able to break it."
Tupelo is at Mooreville on Thursday.

Bath Tourist Attractions
Bath was, and still is, the most celebrated spa in England, the only resort to boast hot springs and one of England's most elegant and attractive towns.
Roman Baths and Pump Room
The Roman Baths, dating back to 75 BC, are the source of several interesting artifacts. The water, rich in mineral content, is considered therapeutic. The ornate Pump Room dates back to Georgian times.
Highlights: |
Bath Abbey
The late-Gothic cathedral of the Bishop of Bath and Wells is known simply as "the Abbey", a reflection of the long history of abbey churches preceding it on the site. The present building was started by Bishop Oliver King who, on his consecration in 1495, dreamed of angels ascending and descending ladders to and from heaven, at the same time hearing a voice declare that "the crown should plant an olive tree and the king restore the church". This he interpreted as a sign to rebuild the church. His dream is immortalized in stone on the west front where, above olive trees encircled by crowns, angels can be seen ascending and descending tall ladders surrounded by apostles. The figure of Christ appears high up in the tympanum.The interior of the church has three aisles and unusually shallow transepts. Superb fanvaulting by the Vertue brothers adorns the chancel and side aisles (1504-18). When building was finally completed at the end of the 16th century (after several lengthy interruptions), there were insufficient resources to vault the nave. Its fan tracery consequently dates only from the late 19th century. Flying buttresses were added at the same time to give increased strength. The somewhat plain interior is chiefly distinguished by the tombs of various 16th and 17th century bishops, as well as by numerous tablets and memorials.
Queen Square
The Georgian architecture for which Bath is famous is found chiefly in the northwest of the city in streets such as Queen Square with its beautifully symmetrical facades (1729-36) which were designed by John Wood the Elder (1704-54).The north side of Queen Square is one of the earliest examples of a row of houses composed as a unified classical facade.
Gay Street
The Georgian architecture for which Bath is famous is found chiefly in the northwest of the city in street such as Gay Street, a popular place for taking the air, was designed by John Wood the Elder (1704-54).Gay Street links Queen's Square to the Royal Circus.
The Georgian architecture for which Bath is famous is found chiefly in the northwest of the city. The perfectly proportioned, classically modeled Circus (1754 onwards), was designed by John Wood the Elder (1704-54).This was the first of new urban forms developed by John Wood the Elder. It is a perfect circle of three stories with different classical orders (column types) on each story.It is composed of individual houses of Palladian influence (high Renaissance) which run as a row.
Royal Crescent
Royal Crescent, a monumental 200yd/184m semicircular sweep of residential town houses with a breathtakingly uniform, palacelike facade, was the work of John Wood the Younger (1728-1781) whose inspired masterpiece dispensed for the first time with the classic town square in the interests of integrating nature and urban architecture.Most of the town houses are still private residences and maintain their 18th century appearance. Some windows are from the 19th century. (Number 1 is open to the public and is operated by the Bath Preservation Trust.)
Museum of Costume and Assembly Rooms
The elegant Assembly Rooms (built 1769-71, restored 1991) where visitors would gather for the evening's entertainment, are by John Wood the Younger. Today they house a delightful collection of costumes.Special displays include period settings, jewelry and clothes of the Royalty. These are the very same Assembly Rooms populated by the characters in Jane Austin's novels.The founder of this collection was Doris Langley Moore, one of the foremost costume collectors of the 20th century.
Pulteney Bridge
The charming Pulteney Bridge spanning the River Avon was built by Robert Adam for Sir William Pulteney in about 1770, prior to Pulteney's development of the east bank. The bridge, with three arches and lined on either side with little shops, opens onto the dignified rows of neo-Classical houses in Great Pulteney Street.The bridge's historical significance is that it led to further development across the river.
Sally Lunn's
This medieval house, the oldest in Bath, is now a museum and tea room, serving delicious "Sally Lunn's buns" made from ancient recipes. An old fashioned kitchen can be seen in the basement.
Naïve Art Museum
The Museum of English Naïve Art opened in this 19th century schoolhouse in 1987. On display are primitive English paintings from between 1750 and 1900.
National Centre of Photography
The Royal Photographic Society photographic museum possesses a comprehensive collection on the history of photography. The Center also regularly mounts special exhibitions of photographic art.The museum is housed in an 18th century chapel in the heart of Bath's main shopping area.
Holburne Museum
The Holburne Museum's fine collection originally belonged to Sir Thomas Holburne, who died in 1874. It includes paintings by Gainsborough, Reynolds and Stubbs, miniatures, 18th century silver, Wedgewood porcelain, Renaissance bronzes and medallions and early period furniture.
Herschel House
Now a museum, it was in this house that the musician and astronomer William Herschel lived. His discovery of the planet Uranus was made from the garden in 1781.The music room contains some of Herschel's original pieces of music and instruments. The basement has been restored as a mirror/telescope making workshop. The upper floor offers a telescope display including a model of Herschel's most famous telescope. The museum is also the home of the William Herschel Society.
Bath International Festival of Music and Arts
The Bath International Festival of Music and Arts is an annual three-week festival that runs from late May to early June and is considered to be one of the most diversified festivals in Europe.The events featured include operas, chamber, orchestral and choral concerts, Jazz performances, art exhibitions, fringe events, lectures and discussions.The repertoire is equally varied, featuring some of the earliest-known pieces of classical music to contemporary and modern works.There are usually five events held every day, which means that a number of venues are used, including the Assembly Rooms, the Guildhall, Christ Church, Wells Cathedral, the Pulp Room, the Theatre Royal, and many others.
American Museum
The American Museum in Bath has 18 rooms that provide an authentic recreation of American lifestyles from Colonial times to the mid-19th centuries.The manor was designed in 1820 by Sir Jeffrey Wyatville. The grounds feature an American Arboretum, ornamental stone work and formal gardens. There is an exhibition hall with a map collection and library. The highlight of the Textile Room are the American quilts that are rotated throughout the year.

Leagues, athletes donate to relief effort

The New York City Marathon is off, and a marathon ride into the city prompted Dwyane Wade to help those still dealing with the horrendous aftermath of Superstorm Sandy.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced the cancellation of the marathon on Friday, just hours after insisting that the race needed to be run Sunday as scheduled to help the city continue recovering from the massive storm. Instead, Bloomberg said the "controversy and division" about whether the race should be run caused the change of plans.
"We cannot allow a controversy over an athletic event — even one as meaningful as this — to distract attention away from all the critically important work that is being done to recover from the storm and get our city back on track," Bloomberg said.

BRIDGEPORT In a 23-minute videotaped confession played in court, Upper Merions Raghunandan Yandamuri admits, I know this is not a small mistake. I had a good job, a good life. I really feel sorry for what I did.
The tape was part of the evidence presented before Magisterial District Justice James Gallagher, during the preliminary hearing of Yandamuri in November. His case is being held for trial on charges of first-degree murder in the deaths of a 10-month old girl and her grandmother.
Prosecutors will likely seek the death penalty against Yandamuri, in a case that First Assistant District Attorney Kevin Steele called, one of those cases that haunts you.
Shackled in chains at the wrists and ankles, Yandamuri appeared quiet for Gallagher, wearing a bullet proof vest, with his head down and flanked by two attorneys.
He is charged with first-degree murder, kidnapping with intent to harm or injure, theft, robbery, burglary and abuse of a corpse, in the Oct. 22 killing of 61-year old Satyavathi Venna and young Saanvi, at the Marquis Apartments on West Dekalb Pike.
Defense attorney Steven G. Heckman tried unsuccessfully to get the first-degree murder charge lessened, arguing specific intent to kill his victims was not present in this case. Heckman claimed his client had not been properly advised of his rights when he was arrested.
In his initial statement to police, Yandamuri told police he had multiple gambling debts and had recently lost between $15,000 and $20,000 at a casino.
According to the affidavit, police were dispatched to apartment C-603 of the Marquis Apartments around 1:15 p.m. that Monday, with the 911 caller being Satyavathi Vennas son Saanvis father. Upon arrival, police found Satyavathi Vennas lifeless body lying on the floor of the apartments narrow kitchen her head surrounded by a pool of blood.
Police observed a gaping wound in the womans neck and the little girl missing. Investigators found 10 copies of a typed ransom note lying on the floor of the apartment.
Shiva your daughter has been kidnapped, read the ransom note. If you report this to cops, your daughter will be cut into pieces and found dead. If you inform this to anyone, you will find your daughters body parts thrown into your apartments.
He then goes on to demand $50,000 from the victim by the end of the day.
Montgomery County Det. Paul Bradbury was the first commonwealth witness called to the stand. He testified Yandamuri first denied any responsibility in the murders, but later confessed, telling police he targeted the victims household because he believed they had money, because they were gainfully employed.
Yandamuri, 26, a native of India but an Upper Merion resident and neighbor to the victims, told police he was armed with a four-inch kitchen knife when he went to the apartment.
I dont have any plans to harm the child or the grandmother. I just wanted some money, Yandamuri reportedly told police.
I dont have any plans to harm anyone. But I panicked. I dont know what I was doing.
He told police that when he entered the apartment, he grabbed Saanvi, but dropped her during a scuffle with Satyavathi Venna. When he could not quell the childs cries, he said he stuffed a handkerchief in her mouth and secured it with a bath towel. He then placed Saanvi in a blue suitcase, stole some jewelry from the bedroom, zipped it up and fled the scene.
According to the county coroner, Saanvi died of asphyxia due to foreign object compression. Satyavathi Venna reportedly died from multiple stab wounds to the neck and chest, with one incision so deep it severed major arteries, her trachea and her vertebrae.
The affidavit describes how Yandamuri then dumped the knife and the jewelry and stashed Saanvis body inside a dark, wooden sauna in the gymnasium of the Marquis Apartments, where police later recovered the body. Bradbury said she said wearing a white dress, found lying on the floor amongst trash, beer bottles, potato chip wrappers and clothing.
Steele called the videotaped confession self-serving and the killings incredibly vicious. He said the death penalty is under consideration with a final determination coming shortly from the District Attorney.
Heckman admitted the tape did not look helpful to his case, but said he would seek the best defense possible.
Just looking at the evidence they have there not even counting what we may or may not present I just dont see it as a first-degree murder case, said Heckman.
Yandamuris arraignment is scheduled for Jan. 16, 2013 at 9:30 a.m.

Theme & Amusement Parks in Fredonia
Recommended Theme & Amusement Parks by Groupon Customers
Upon departing from Chautauqua Choo-Choo Train Station, trains chug past the abundant attractions sprawled throughout the park during four-minute rides. Had the train existed at Midway State Park when it first opened as a trolley park in 1898, its 15-mile-per-hour jaunt would have surveyed a landscape dotted with playing fields, tennis courts, bathhouses, and a dancehall. These days, America's 16th oldest continually operating amusement park shelters the spinning and twirling cars of a Tilt-A-Whirl and other rides. A three-sided, 24-foot climbing wall challenges participants to spite gravity's tyrannical reign before ringing the buzzer at its peak, and guests in the helicopter ride can adjust their height with a bar attached to the aircraft. Elsewhere, youngsters captain a kiddie boat or steer retro-modeled cars past a miniature roadway's street signs. Between rides, visitors can munch on cotton candy while peering out toward the shores of Chautauqua Lake from one of several picnic areas.
The third-oldest zoo in the United States, the Buffalo Zoo was originally founded in 1875 as a deer park in the northwest corner of Delaware Park. Since then, it has grown into a 23.5-acre home for diverse species of mammals, birds, reptiles, and fish, all under the care of the Zoological Society of Buffalo, an organization dedicated to advancing the conservation of the world's exotic, endangered, and ordinary animals. Within its habitats, creatures ranging from Asian elephants to poison arrow frogs serve as ambassadors from far-off kingdoms, and at the Delta Sonic Heritage Farm's 1800s-era barn, a collection of berkshire pigs, southdown sheep, and other farm animals represents the fauna that once commonly lived along the Erie Canal. To carry out its educational mission, the zoo regularly hosts programs such as behind-the-scenes workshops and Zoo Snooze, in which kids can stay over for the night and wake up alongside the lions roaring angrily at their rooster alarm clocks.
It is estimated that 3,500 snow leopards currently make their home in the wild, where they use their claws and predatory stealth to scale central-Asian cliffsides in search of wild goats and rabbits. These secretive cats rarely let out so much as a purr, preferring solitude to contact with humans and even each other. Nevertheless, humans have helped their dwindling population grow in recent years through conservation efforts at zoos and habitats throughout the world.
Safari Niagara counts itself among the world's safest havens for these downy cats. In working with the Canadian Association of Zoos and Aquariums, the animal park provides a home for snow leopards and more than 500 other species of mammals, reptiles, and birds. The park's conservationists lead educational presentations on threatened species and aim to shape children into the world's future caretakers through up-close interactions with the park's most social residents. Alpacas, river otters, grey wolves, and falcons are among the many animals that prowl the 110-acre facility, which also hosts an amphitheater where guests can watch musicians shimmy and shake in their natural habitat.Safari Niagara
With two decades of racecar driving under his belt, Mr. Uli Bieri sought a means to safely share motorsports with other enthusiasts. In 1997, he found it in the form of Cayuga Dragway Park, a former airstrip built in 1955. He purchased the land, and over the years added a 3-kilometre road course that could be reconfigured for drivers of different skill levels and extensive noise-reduction berms. He constructed the tracks with a strong focus on safety, keeping the ground flat and providing ample runoff area. In 2001, he rechristened the two tracks Toronto Motorsports Park, providing a venue for amateur racers to compete, practice, and engage in instructional programs.
Today the dual stretches of pavement serve both education and entertainment for the motorsports community, regularly holding massive events featuring professionally modified vehicles and legendary drivers. Amateurs still get plenty of track time to try out new vehicles with the Test & Tune Program and race custom rides in the Bracket Series.
Named one of America's top 100 driving ranges by Golf Range Magazine in 2011, Broadway Driving Range & Miniature Golf invites golfers to launch towering drives under covered hitting bays toward a target field that stretches more than 350 yards. Golfers who favor a natural feel can hack through a bucket of balls at the range's all-grass hitting areas; synthetic hitting mats cater to refined sand wedges that consider divots uncouth. Laid-back clubbers can practice pendulous putts at the complex's miniature-golf course, where players circle around a barn built in 1932 through a farm-themed circuit of 18 miniature fairways featuring antique farm tools. Broadway Driving Range can cool down clients with soft-serve custard from Green Acres Ice Cream.
Perched at the bow of the pirate ship, the captain's parrot braces for stormy weather. But in the case of the pirate-ship inflatable at Pirates Plank, the feeling of choppy waves isn't generated by water below, but by the youngsters hopping on it. Kids can also jump around on a _Pirates of the Caribbean_–themed bounce house before navigating around the tranquil ponds decorating the 18-hole miniature-golf course.
Elsewhere, Pirates Plank hosts races on its go-kart track, gamers in its video arcade, and players in its batting cages aiming for homers or to hit balls back into the machine they came from. The snack bar keeps visitors reenergized with tasty treats, and birthday parties entice attendees with unlimited soda and popcorn, arcade tokens for each guest, and mini-golf passes for future visits.
