I roasted a pumpkin on Thursday.
Now, this is nothing incredibly new or novel. I am used to having my senses assaulted by pumpkin products every time I enter a Starbucks (which, let's face it, I try not to very often these days, but there is one inside my university and so convenience breeds desire). And Trader Joe's is a pumpkin dreamland right now.
But I had never actually tasted pumpkin by itself, hot out of the oven, skin and all, the way it was intended to be eaten. So Thursday, I marched myself on down to the local (overpriced) grocery store, grabbed two sugar pumpkins (two, because of credit card minimums and this New Yorker's consistent lack of on-hand cash), and spent the rest of the afternoon in the kitchen (which is the best way to spend an afternoon). The process is far too easy to really detail, though I will say it produced a wave of nostalgia for pumpkin carvings with my family that practically knocked me over, so beware of this.
And the verdict? Oh my Lord. I think that in the process of pumpkin spicing every single thing that crosses our paths in October, we have lost sight of how incredibly delectable freshly roasted pumpkin is. It is creamy and sweet with the addition of only a little oil, and it well deserves its place of honor this month. I even convinced Elena and one of my other very best friends, Kelsey, to try a slice, which was very gracious of me I feel, as I was tempted to eat the whole damn thing myself.
If you would like a detailed version of the proper way to roast a sugar pumpkin, you can find it here, via the blog Oh She Glows. The pictures are delightful.

Samsung has raised the prices for premium smartphones and tablets in Russia
Samsung has increased the retail prices of a number of smartphones and tablets Galaxy in Russia. The reason for such a decision referred to fluctuations in currency markets and a sharp depreciation of the ruble.
"On December 16, Samsung set new recommended retail prices for the following products: Galaxy Note 4 / SM-N910C / – 39 990 rubles., Galaxy Tab S 10.5" LTE / SM-T805N 16GB / – 29 990 rubles., Galaxy Tab S 10.5 "Wi-Fi / SM-T800N 16GB / – 24 990 rubles.", – said in a statement.
Now, according to "to Yandex.Market", the average cost planshetofona Galaxy Note 4 of 36 990 rub., The tablet Galaxy Tab S 10.5 "LTE is worth 26,990 rubles. And the Galaxy Tab S 10.5" Wi-Fi – 22 990 rubles.
Last week, the head of Samsung said that the demand for some models in Russia increased by 300%. According to him, the company continues to share New Year's flagship model, which greatly reduced prices. The company added that the cost of the flagship model will rise to 3000, but it will not cause changes in demand for the model. Top manager claimed that the company will raise the prices of some models are not directly tied to the dollar or the euro, and according to their own considerations.
The fall of the ruble does not stop, so the prices on electronics will continue to grow. Earlier it was reported that Apple will again raise prices for their products in Russia on 24 December. Last month, the American corporation has already raised the price of the iPhone and iPad. Smartphones iPhone iPhone 6 and 6 Plus rose by an average of 25%.
Now the official website Apple iPhone 6 to 16 GB worth 39,990 rubles, iPhone 6 Plus 16 GB – 46 990 rubles.

March 10th, 2005 Direct and Cross Examination of Gavin Arvizo and Sgt. Steve Robel, Part 1 of 3
The second day of Gavin Arvizo's testimony started off with a huge surprise for Judge Melville. As he took his seat on the bench, he noticed that Jackson wasn't in court, and he wasn't pleased by Jackson's absence! Despite Mesereau's very valid explanation as to why Jackson was absent, and despite his promise that Jackson would show up, Melville gave an ultimatum that if Jackson wasn't in court within one hour, his bail would be forfeited!
Please note that the jury was not seated at this time, and they were not seated until after Jackson arrived, wearing a blazer as his pajama bottoms were out of view under the table that he and his lawyers were sitting at. So the notion that "Pajama Day" was a stunt to gain the jury's sympathy is totally false!
Here is Judge Melville's message to Mesereau:
1 Santa Maria, California
2 Thursday, March 10, 2005
3 8:35 a.m.
5 (The following proceedings were held in
6 open court outside the presence and hearing of the
7 jury:)
9 THE COURT: Good morning.
10 Try that again. Good morning.
11 COUNSEL AT COUNSEL TABLE: (In unison)
12 Good morning, Your Honor.
13 THE COURT: I notice the defendant's not
14 present.
15 MR. MESEREAU: Yes, Your Honor. Mr. Jackson
16 is at —
17 THE COURT: They can't hear you. Speak into
18 the microphone, please.
19 MR. MESEREAU: Mr. Jackson is at Cottage
20 Hospital in Santa Ynez with a serious back problem.
21 My understanding is he's on his way in. The doctor
22 does want to talk to you on the phone. That's the
23 last information I have.
24 I did give the — I had the doctor on my
25 cell phone. I did give it to your clerk and tried
26 to make contact with you, but I — I know that
27 they're waiting, hoping to speak to you about it.
28 My understanding is that he does plan to come in. 1527
1 THE COURT: I'm going to issue a warrant for
2 his arrest. I'm forfeiting his bail.
3 MR. MESEREAU: Your Honor —
4 THE COURT: I'm going to hold that order for
5 one hour. In one hour I'm going to execute that
6 order.
7 Court's in recess.
8 (Recess taken.)
After Jackson arrived and the jury was seated, Judge Melville issued the following statement to the jury:
1 Santa Maria, California
2 Thursday, March 10, 2005
3 10:00 a.m.
5 (The following proceedings were held in
6 open court in the presence and hearing of the
7 jury:)
9 THE COURT: Good morning.
10 THE JURY: (In unison) Good morning.
11 COUNSEL AT COUNSEL TABLE: (In unison)
12 Good morning, Your Honor.
13 THE COURT: I'm sorry for the delay.
14 Mr. Jackson had a medical problem this morning, and
15 it was necessary for me to order his appearance.
16 I'm telling you that because I don't want you to
17 draw any adverse inference about his guilt or
18 inference from the fact that I had to order him
19 here.
20 If one of you had called in and had not
21 appeared, or one of the attorneys, I would have had
22 to do the same thing. The trial is going to go
23 forward.
24 So I just want you to understand, in doing
25 that, I'm not expressing any opinion about the case,
26 about Mr. Jackson, or about the District Attorney.
27 It has nothing to do with guilt or innocence. Okay.
28 All right.
Sneddon then continued his direct examination from the previous day, and asked Gavin about the first time he had seen the Martin Bashir documentary:
7 Q. Yesterday you testified about the Bashir
8 video. Do you recall that.
9 A. Yes.
10 Q. And have you ever seen that video from start
11 to finish.
12 A. No, I've seen pieces of it, and I saw when
13 he interviewed me, but I didn't really see the whole
14 thing.
15 Q. So you did see the part that involved you.
16 A. Yes.
17 Q. And when was the first time you saw that.
18 A. Well, when we were — when I was in Miami,
19 me and Michael, he didn't want to see it, so we
20 didn't watch it there. I saw it in my house later
21 when VH-1 was showing it.
22 Q. Was this after you left the ranch for good.
23 A. Yeah, I believe so.
24 Q. Now, that portion of the video that shows
25 you sitting on the couch with Mr. Jackson, there's a
26 point in time where you place your head on his
27 shoulder and hold hands with Mr. Jackson. Do you
28 recall that part of it. 1539
1 A. Yes.
2 Q. How did that come about.
3 A. I don't know. We were just sitting there.
4 Well, the holding hands part, that was one of the
5 things that Michael told me to do. But I put my
6 head on his shoulder.
7 Q. Why did you do that.
8 A. Because — I don't know. It was — like he
9 was — I was really close to Michael, and he was
10 like my best friend, so I just put my head on his
11 shoulder.
Let me remind everyone again that it was Bashir who told Gavin to hold Jackson's hand and rest his head on Jackson's shoulder! Here is Aphrodite Jones' confirmation of this, based on what she was told by Jacksons attorneys Thomas Mesereau and Brian Oxman:
Next, Gavin describes the next time that he spoke to Jackson after filming the scene with Bashir. He didn't speak with Jackson again until shortly before the airing of the documentary in the USA. Gavin claimed that Jackson asked him and his family to participate in a press conference to rebut the lies that were insinuated in the documentary:
12 Q. Okay. Now, from the time that you had the
13 interview with you and Mr. Jackson and Mr. Bashir
14 till the time that you left to go to Miami, did you
15 have any contact with Mr. Jackson.
16 A. From when I left from Martin Bashir.
17 Q. Right.
18 A. Can you repeat the question.
19 Q. Sure. From the time that you had the
20 interview with Mr. Bashir and Mr. Jackson and you —
21 A. Okay.
22 Q. — okay. — till the time shortly before you
23 left for Miami, did you have any contact with Mr.
24 Jackson.
25 A. No.
26 Q. Do you remember when the next contact with
27 Mr. Jackson was.
28 A. Like, right when the stuff came out, when 1540
1 the video documentary started showing on T.V.
2 Q. How did you find out that the documentary
3 was shown on T.V..
4 A. Well, it was — it was being showed over in
5 Britain, but they were talking about it on the news
6 and stuff, so that's how I found out.
7 Q. You actually heard it on the news yourself.
8 A. Yeah.
9 Q. Did any people come around your house at
10 all, that you know of.
11 A. No. I don't know of any.
12 Q. Now, when you heard it on the news, about
13 the documentary, did you at some point have a
14 telephone conversation with the defendant, Mr.
15 Jackson.
16 A. Yes. He called me.
17 Q. All right. Tell us about the conversation.
18 A. He told —
19 Q. Where were you when you got the call.
20 A. I was in the house, in my house, when — the
21 first time I moved in with my stepfather. And then
22 he called and wanted me to go to Miami because of
23 all the stuff that was going on. And he said that
24 he wanted to hold a press conference. And he wanted
25 me to be with him.
26 Q. With him —
27 A. During the press conference.
28 Q. What else did he say. 1541
1 A. He said that he wanted me to go over there.
2 And he said that — that — like, we were talking
3 about what was going on. And I was saying, "Ahh,"
4 like, "it's not right what they're saying," and
5 stuff like that.
6 Q. Did Mr. Jackson make comments about — to
7 you about what was going on.
8 A. No. He just said that he wanted me to go
9 over to Miami.
10 Q. Now, did you go to Miami.
11 A. Yes.
12 Q. Did you go by yourself.
13 A. No.
14 Q. Who went with you.
15 A. It was me, my brother, my sister, and my
16 mom. But at first, Michael didn't really want — he
17 only really wanted —
18 MR. MESEREAU: Objection; nonresponsive.
19 Move to strike.
20 THE COURT: Sustained.
21 MR. SNEDDON: I'll move on from there.
22 THE COURT: The last sentence is stricken.
23 Q. BY MR. SNEDDON: Now, during the
24 conversation with Mr. Jackson – okay.
25 A. Okay.
26 Q. — did the subject of the rest of your
27 family going to Miami come up.
28 MR. MESEREAU: Objection; leading. 1542
1 THE COURT: Overruled.
2 You may answer.
3 THE WITNESS: Can you repeat the question.
4 MR. SNEDDON: Yeah.
5 Q. During the time of your conversation with
6 Mr. Jackson, did the subject of the rest of your
7 family coming to Miami come up during the
8 conversation.
9 A. Yes.
10 Q. Would you tell us about it.
11 A. At first I asked him if my brother can come,
12 and then he was like, "Yeah." And then I asked him
13 if my sister could come, and then he was, like, Uhh,
14 hmm, okay."
15 And then I asked if my mom could come, but
16 he kind of got angry a little bit about my mom
17 coming. And then — but I told him, "I can't come
18 without my mom. My mom probably won't let me." And
19 he was like, "Okay," and my mom came.
20 Q. Did — during that conversation, did you —
21 did you see — did you hear your mother talk to Mr.
22 Jackson.
23 A. I don't really remember.
In this excerpt, Gavin describes the first time that Jackson allegedly gave him "Jesus Juice" to drink in a soda can while they were in Miami, and he alleges that Jackson told him to keep drinking it in front of Janet Arvizo, Aldo, Marie Nichole, Star, and Davellin!
17 Q. Now, did anything else happen between you
18 and Mr. Jackson during your stay at the Turnberry.
19 A. Yes.
20 Q. What.
21 A. He brought me this — he had poured — I
22 didn't really see what he did, but I found out
23 later. Like, I guess —
24 MR. MESEREAU: Objection; calls for
25 speculation.
26 Q. BY MR. SNEDDON: Just tell us what he did,
27 what you saw personally.
28 A. Okay. He brought me — 1549
1 THE COURT: Just a moment. I'll sustain the
2 objection, but you're asking another question.
3 MR. SNEDDON: I am, Your Honor.
4 MR. MESEREAU: Move to strike, Your Honor.
5 THE COURT: I'll strike the last half of his
6 answer. Go ahead.
7 Q. BY MR. SNEDDON: All right. Tell us what
8 you saw Mr. Jackson do.
9 A. Michael gave me a Diet Coke can.
10 Q. Did he tell you what was in the can.
11 A. Yeah, he told me that it was —
12 MR. MESEREAU: Objection; leading.
13 THE COURT: Overruled.
14 You may answer "yes" or "no."
15 THE WITNESS: Michael —
16 Q. BY MR. SNEDDON: Just, did he tell you —
17 "yes" or "no"; did he tell you what was in the can.
18 A. Yes.
19 Q. All right. What did he tell you.
20 A. He told me if I ever heard of Jesus Juice,
21 and then —
22 Q. And what did you say.
23 A. And I said I didn't know really what it was.
24 Q. And did he say anything after that.
25 A. Yeah, he told me, "You know how, like, Jesus
26 drank wine." And I was like, "Yeah."
27 And then he told me, "Well, we call it Jesus
28 Juice." And then he said that — to drink it. And 1550
1 I took a little sip, and I told him it —
2 MR. MESEREAU: Objection. Calls for a
3 narrative; nonresponsive; move to strike.
4 THE COURT: Strike after — where he starts
5 to say "I took a little sip," that's stricken.
6 Q. BY MR. SNEDDON: After Mr. Jackson handed
7 you the can and he told you that it was Jesus Juice,
8 what did you do.
9 A. I drank a little bit of it, and I told him
10 that it tasted ugly.
11 Q. And what did he say.
12 A. He said that, "It's okay, because it will
13 relax you," and he told me that he knows that I'm
14 all stressed out because of all the media stuff
15 that's going on, and that the Jesus Juice will relax
16 me.
17 Q. Now, during — do you recall how long you'd
18 been in Mr. Jackson's suite at the time that he
19 provided the alcohol to you.
20 A. I was in there for a while. Like, it was
21 after the second meeting with him in the other room,
22 the improv thing.
23 Q. And from the time that Mr. Jackson gave you
24 the can for the first time and you tasted it, how
25 many times do you think you drank out of that can.
26 A. Well, we went — well, after he —
27 Q. Just — first of all, I'll — first of all,
28 just how many times, that you estimate. 1551
1 A. Oh, I probably drank maybe — I don't think
2 I drank the whole can, but I probably drank like
3 three-fourths of it or something.
4 Q. Was the can ever refilled.
5 A. I don't think it — I'm not sure if it was
6 refilled. I don't think it was.
7 Q. Had you ever had wine before.
8 A. Well, in church, but that's about it.
9 Q. Now, did you have any further conversations
10 with Mr. Jackson, other than the ones that you've
11 already told the ladies and gentlemen of the jury
12 about, about the wine and drinking it.
13 A. Well, we — after he told me that, about
14 Jesus Juice or whatever, we went into the living
15 room where everybody was, like Chris was and then my
16 mom, Marie Nicole and Aldo and stuff like that, and
17 we were sitting there, and then Michael was right
18 next to me. And then I don't think my mom knew what
19 was going on.
20 MR. MESEREAU: Objection. Calls for
21 speculation; narrative; nonresponsive. Move to
22 strike.
23 MR. SNEDDON: Your Honor —
24 THE COURT: Just a moment.
25 What were you going to say.
26 MR. SNEDDON: I'm not going to say it now.
27 I'll pick it up later.
28 THE COURT: The question was really if you 1552
1 had any further conversations with Mr. Jackson. You
2 need to listen to the question. Just answer the
3 question. That would have been a "yes" or "no" type
4 question. So I'll sustain the objection and have
5 you answer that question.
6 I'll strike the rest of his answer.
7 THE WITNESS: Yes.
8 Q. BY MR. SNEDDON: Where did those
9 conversations take place.
10 A. In the living room.
11 Q. And were there other people present.
12 A. Yes.
13 Q. And what did Mr. Jackson say to you.
14 A. He was, like, telling me to keep drinking
15 the can of the wine.
16 Q. And where were you in the living room.
17 A. I was sitting on the couch, and he was
18 sitting next to me.
19 Q. Were there other people present in the room.
20 A. Yes.
21 Q. Who else was around.
22 A. Chris Tucker, my mom, Aldo, Marie Nicole, my
23 brother, my sister.
24 Q. And you say you were drinking out of a can.
25 What kind of a can.
26 A. Pretty sure it was a Diet Coke can.
27 Q. And do you recall whether — the kind of
28 wine it was. 1553
1 A. I'm pretty sure it was white wine.
2 Q. Were there — how many occasions were you in
3 the bedroom alone with Mr. Jackson.
4 A. At Miami.
5 Q. Uh-huh.
6 A. Once.
7 Q. Were you alone with him in any other rooms
8 in his suite or complex there.
9 A. No.
10 Q. Now, when you woke up the next day, how did
11 you feel.
12 A. Well, I didn't know if it was from the wine,
13 but I felt really — like, my head kind of hurt and
14 I felt like I just wanted to lay down.
Gavin went on to describe how he was offered more alcohol by Jackson on the flight from Miami to Neverland. Noticed how he failed to mention Dr. Farshchian, who Star confirmed was sitting directly across from Jackson and Gavin throughout the flight during his cross examination!
8 Q. BY MR. SNEDDON: Now, at some point you left
9 Miami, correct.
10 A. Yes.
11 Q. And how — when you left Miami, how — what
12 form of transportation did you take.
13 A. It was in one of Michael's planes.
14 Q. And how did you get to the plane.
15 A. In a limousine, I think.
16 Q. Now, who was on the plane.
17 A. Me, my brother, my sister, Marie Nicole.
18 Prince, Paris. Grace. My mom. Michael. And me.
19 So it was a pretty packed plane.
20 Q. Now, while you were on the plane, where were
21 you seated.
22 A. I sat next to Michael in the window.
23 Q. I'm sorry.
24 A. I had a window seat and Michael was sitting
25 right next to me.
26 Q. And do you recall who was sitting across
27 from you.
28 A. I think Prince and Paris were sitting in 1556
1 front of us, but then they kept on — they got up
2 during the flight, and then other people would sit
3 there and stuff.
4 Q. So were people changing seats during the
5 flight.
6 A. Yes.
7 Q. Did you ever change seats.
8 A. No.
9 Q. Did Mr. Jackson ever change seats.
10 A. I think he got up for something once, but I
11 never moved from that seat.
12 Q. During the course of the flight from Miami,
13 did you ever drink any alcohol.
14 A. Yes.
15 Q. Now, who provided that alcohol to you.
16 A. Michael.
17 Q. And can you tell us in what — what it was
18 provided to you in.
19 A. I think it was another Coke can or Diet Coke
20 can.
21 Q. And what kind of alcohol was it.
22 A. I think it was white wine again.
23 Q. And where — did you see where Mr. Jackson
24 got the can from.
25 A. From the little place where they keep all
26 the sodas in the plane.
27 Q. Now, when — where were you when you
28 physically drank out of the container, the can. 1557
1 A. I was next to Michael.
2 Q. And did Mr. Jackson say anything to you when
3 he gave you the can.
4 A. Yeah, he told me it was more Jesus Juice.
5 And he said that — on the plane that — he told me
6 about how he used to get scared about planes, and he
7 said that if I was scared and — to drink the Jesus
8 Juice, because it will relax me.
9 Q. How much do you think you drank while you
10 were on the plane.
11 A. I think I drank the whole can.
12 Q. Was the can ever refilled.
13 A. Yes.
14 Q. Do you know how many times.
15 A. No.
16 Q. Were you always drinking out of the same can
17 as Mr. Jackson.
18 A. Yes.
19 Q. Did Mr. Jackson ever say anything to you
20 about him providing alcohol to you.
21 MR. MESEREAU: Objection; leading.
22 THE COURT: Overruled.
23 You may answer.
24 THE WITNESS: Um, yes.
25 Q. BY MR. SNEDDON: Will you tell us what he
26 said.
27 A. He would tell me that — can you repeat the
28 question again. I'm sorry. 1558
1 MR. SNEDDON: Would you read it back.
2 (Record read.)
3 THE WITNESS: Yeah, he just told me that he
4 was getting it for me. I don't really understand
5 too good.
Here is Star's cross examination where he confirmed that Dr. Farshshian sat directly across from Jackson and Gavin. Notice how he tried to change the subject to his mother, but was quickly reprimanded by Mesereau:
Q. You told the Santa Barbara Grand Jury that
on a flight coming back from Miami, Dr. Farshshian
was facing Michael Jackson, right?
A. Yes.
Q. So he would have been facing Michael Jackson 1411
when you claim Michael started licking your
brother's hair, right?
A. No, my mom was — she was turned around most
of the time.
Q. No, I'm talking about Dr. Farshshian.
A. Oh, yes.
Q. He was facing Michael Jackson the whole
A. Yes.
Next, Gavin claimed that the reason that Jackson gave him an expensive watch and a jacket is because it was a symbol of their friendship, and as a result of their friendship Gavin shouldn't tell anyone about the "Jesus Juice" that Jackson had served him in Miami and on the flight back to Neverland:
6 Q. BY MR. SNEDDON: Did Mr. Jackson ever give
7 you any presents.
8 A. Yes.
9 Q. Other than the computer.
10 A. Yes.
11 Q. Did he ever give you any presents while you
12 were in Miami.
13 A. Well, he had, like, all these games from EA.
14 Q. I'm sorry.
15 A. EA, Electronic Arts, I think they're called.
16 They got me a whole bunch of games. And then he let
17 me have all the games that Aldo didn't really like.
18 Q. When you were on the plane, did Mr. Jackson
19 give you anything.
20 A. Yes.
21 Q. What did he give you.
22 A. As we were taking off — well, in the hotel,
23 he also gave me a jacket. But when we were taking
24 off on the plane, he showed me a watch, and then he
25 had it on, and he told — he gave me the watch as we
26 were taking off.
27 Q. Did he say why he gave you the watch.
28 A. He said not to tell anybody about the Jesus 1559
1 Juice, and he said that this is like a symbol that
2 we'll be friends forever or something like that.
3 And then he gave me the watch.
4 Q. Did you have his jacket and his watch.
5 A. Yes.
Gavin then answers questions from Sneddon about the jacket and watch that he was given by Jackson, and Gavin states that the value of the watch was $75,000 (according to Jackson), and that he eventually gave the watch to Larry Feldman. Notice how Gavin referred to Feldman as "Larry"; he was on a first name basis with all of the prosecutors in this trial, which shows just how close and chummy they all were with each other!
9 Q. No, just stand up and show it to them.
10 Okay. Now I'm going to ask you a question
11 about the watch. With regard to that particular
12 watch, did Mr. Jackson make any statements to you
13 about the value of the watch when he gave it to you.
14 A. He told me that it was $75,000.
15 Q. Now, did you keep that watch.
16 A. Yes.
17 Q. At some point, did you give that watch to
18 somebody.
19 A. Yeah. I think I gave it to Tom.
20 Q. To me.
21 A. I mean — no, Larry.
22 Q. Larry.
23 A. Yes.
24 Q. Do you know who Larry is.
25 A. Larry Feldman, I think.
26 Q. And do you remember when that was. Had you
27 left Neverland for the last time.
28 A. Yes. 1562
1 Q. And that's — and after that, you gave the
2 watch to him.
3 A. Yes.
4 Q. Now, when you were at Neverland Ranch, did
5 anybody ever ask you to give the watch back.
6 MR. MESEREAU: Objection; leading.
7 THE COURT: Overruled.
8 You may answer.
9 THE WITNESS: No.
Next, Sneddon asked Gavin if he ever saw his brother Star drink "Jesus Juice", and Gavin explained that he saw Jackson give Star the can of alcohol to drink on the flight back to Neverland. Ironically, despite the fact that Gavin said that Jackson asked Star if he knew what "Jesus Juice" was, Star never referred to alcohol as "Jesus Juice" throughout his testimony! For only Gavin to refer to alcohol as "Jesus Juice", while Star never mentioned that nickname, is another example of the many material inconsistencies in their stories.
10 Q. BY MR. SNEDDON: Now, let's go back to the
11 flight just a second, if we can. All right.
12 A. Uh-huh.
13 Q. Where was your brother Star on the plane.
14 A. He was walking around on the plane.
15 Q. Did you ever see Star drink out of the soda
16 can.
17 A. Yes.
18 Q. Tell the jury what happened.
19 A. We called my brother Star over, and Michael
20 asked him if he knew what Jesus Juice was. And then
21 we gave him the can and we just told him to drink
22 it. And then when he drank it, he said that it
23 tasted bad, and so, like — I don't know. That's
24 what happened.
25 Q. Did you see the expression on his face when
26 he drank it.
27 A. Yeah, he acted like it was a gross-tasting
28 taste, face. I don't know how to say it. 1563
Here's a very interesting excerpt: Sneddon showed Gavin a diagram of the seating arrangements of the plane that they took from Miami to Neverland, and he asked Gavin to point to where everyone was sitting throughout the flight. Gavin and Sneddon made no mention whatsoever of Dr. Farshshian, who Star said was sitting directly across from Gavin when Jackson allegedly licked his head!
4 MR. SNEDDON: Your Honor, this exhibit is –
5 I'm sorry, Counsel – 344 for identification
6 purposes. I'm going to hand this to the witness.
7 And why don't you hand me those two things right
8 there.
9 Take that. And here's a pen. Don't do
10 anything yet.
11 Q. All right. Do you recognize the exhibit
12 that I've just placed in front of you.
13 A. Yeah, it looks like the inside of the plane
14 that we were in.
15 MR. SNEDDON: All right. Your Honor, I'm
16 going to move that be admitted into evidence for the
17 purpose of illustrating his testimony.
18 MR. MESEREAU: I have no objection.
19 THE COURT: It's admitted.
20 MR. SNEDDON: Okay. We're going to put a
21 diagram on the board — on the Elmo in just a
22 second.
23 This is a laser.
24 THE WITNESS: Okay.
25 MR. SNEDDON: Go ahead. Put it up.
26 MR. AUCHINCLOSS: It should be coming up.
27 THE BAILIFF: It will take a moment.
28 Q. BY MR. SNEDDON: Okay. Gavin — 1564
1 A. Yes.
2 Q. — I want you to look up on the board, and
3 ask if you can show the ladies and gentlemen of the
4 jury where you were seated on the plane.
5 Okay. So you're indicating in the middle of
6 the diagram, correct.
7 A. Yes.
8 Q. Now, on the chart that's in front of you –
9 okay. – 344 —
10 A. Yes.
11 Q. — I want you to take that pen I gave you
12 and I want you to put your initials in the seat that
13 you've just showed to the ladies and gentlemen of
14 the jury.
15 Now, I want you to show the ladies and
16 gentlemen of the jury where Mr. Jackson was seated,
17 sitting.
18 Okay. It's the one right next to you,
19 closest to the aisle; is that correct.
20 A. Yes.
21 Q. Would you put an "MJ" on the seat where he
22 was located.
23 Now, do you recall where your brother Star
24 was sitting at the time that he was offered the can
25 with the alcohol in it by Mr. Jackson.
26 A. I don't think he was sitting. He was
27 standing, and he was —
28 Q. Where was he standing. 1565
1 A. Right there.
2 Q. Right in that area.
3 A. Yes.
4 Q. Would you put your brother's initials — and
5 by "that area," you're meaning in the aisle at the
6 end of the table, correct.
7 A. Yes.
8 Q. Okay. Just put your brother's initials
9 where you….
10 Now, do you remember where your mom was
11 sitting.
12 A. I think she was sitting over here somewhere.
13 Q. Okay. Move the diagram, if you would. Do
14 you think she was down there.
15 A. Yeah, I think so.
16 Q. Okay. Put your mother's initials in there,
17 if you would. And by "there," we mean on the upper
18 side of the diagram with the chair that's the
19 farthest to the left.
20 A. Okay. What do I put. "JJ" or —
22 Do you remember where any other of the
23 people on the plane were sitting.
24 A. I'm not sure, but Prince and Paris started
25 out right there. And then I think Grace was in
26 there.
27 Q. Okay. Why don't you — where you say Prince
28 and Paris were, put two "P's" on your diagram, 344. 1566
1 A. Okay.
2 Q. And you mentioned a person by the name of
3 Grace. Who is that, to your knowledge.
4 A. It's like — like Prince and Paris's
5 guardian lady.
6 Q. Okay. So why don't you put a "G" where you
7 think that the individual you knew as Grace was
8 sitting.
9 All right. Anybody else. Do you remember
10 where Aldo and Marie Nicole were sitting.
11 A. I'm not sure. I think they might have been
12 sitting on those things.
13 Q. On the area in blue.
14 A. Yeah.
15 Q. Okay.
16 A. I don't know.
17 Q. But you're not sure.
18 A. No.
19 Q. Okay. And how about your sister.
20 A. I think she was sitting there.
21 Q. Was she there the whole time.
22 A. No.
23 Q. Did you see where she moved to.
24 A. I don't know. I'd just see her pass by. We
25 were all sitting sometimes.
26 Q. You indicated for your sister a seat that's
27 up on the front part of the left side of the diagram
28 on the lower side of the plane, correct. 1567
1 A. Yeah.
2 Q. All right. Why don't you put your sister's
3 initials in there, then.
4 A. Okay.
5 Q. All right. I think we're done with that.
6 A. Okay.
Sneddon continued to ask about Gavin's alleged consumption of alcohol while at Neverland, after arriving from Miami. Gavin stated that he drank alcohol "every night that Michael was there", in the wine cellar, the arcade, and Jackson's bedroom:
13 Q. Now, you told us that the first time that
14 night you spent in Mr. Jackson's room and you slept
15 in his bed, along with your brother and Mr. Jackson.
16 From the time you got back from Miami till the time
17 you left with Jesus, where did you sleep.
18 A. Can you repeat the question. I'm sorry.
19 Q. Uh-huh. From the time you got back from
20 Miami and you went to the ranch —
21 A. Okay.
22 Q. — okay. — till the time you left with
23 Jesus – all right. – where did you sleep.
24 A. Whenever Michael was there, we would all
25 sleep in Michael's room.
26 Q. Was Mr. Jackson there during that time
27 period.
28 A. Yeah. 1570
1 Q. During the time after you got to the ranch,
2 when the limousine took you from the airport to
3 Neverland Valley Ranch, till the time you left with
4 Jesus, did you ever have any more alcohol.
5 A. Yes.
6 Q. On how many occasions.
7 A. Every night that Michael was there.
8 Q. All right. Do you remember where you drank.
9 A. We would — like, in the arcade, because
10 that's where the wine cellar was. Well, it's kind
11 of like a wine cellar.
12 Q. You say "we." Who's "we".
13 A. Me, my brother, Michael mainly.
14 Q. And how did you get into the wine cellar.
15 A. Michael would take us there.
16 Q. Can you tell the ladies and gentlemen of the
17 jury, just describe how you get down there.
18 A. Okay. In the back of the main house,
19 there's an arcade. And then, like, you walk across,
20 and there's a pool to the right, and then you go
21 inside the arcade.
22 And then, like, there's this jukebox, and
23 then you have to move the jukebox. And then you
24 walk down these stairs, and there's a door that you
25 open. It's kind of like to the right. And then you
26 walk in there, and there's no alcohol in the first
27 room. There's, like, sleeping bags, I think, like a
28 little green couch. 1571
1 And then you walk through, and then to the
2 right there's another door, and then there's like
3 this hallway kind of thing, and then that's where,
4 like, all the alcohol was, in refrigerators and
5 stuff like that.
6 Q. And who was it that took you down to that
7 area the first time.
8 A. Michael.
9 Q. Did you ever go down there without Mr.
10 Jackson.
11 A. No. Well, we went down there once. That
12 was just because we wanted to, like, look at the
13 little green thing that they had there with all the
14 trees and stuff on there. It was kind of like a
15 model thing.
16 Q. Did you ever go down there and drink any
17 alcohol without Mr. Jackson being present.
18 A. No.
19 Q. And you said "we" went down there to look at
20 these little green things. Who was it that went
21 with you.
22 A. Me and my brother.
23 Q. Was it a time when Mr. Jackson was on the
24 ranch.
25 A. Yes.
26 Q. Now, were there any other locations on the
27 ranch where you drank with Mr. Jackson.
28 A. Yes. 1572
1 Q. Where.
2 A. In his office and in his room.
3 Q. And would this be during the same time
4 period we're talking about, from the time period
5 from when you got there from Miami till the time you
6 left with Jesus.
7 A. If it happened.
8 Q. Yes.
9 A. Yes.
10 Q. Was there ever any occasion that you drank
11 something other than wine.
12 A. Yes.
13 Q. Tell us what it was.
14 A. I drank Bacardi, vodka and Jim Bean.
15 Q. Jim what.
16 A. Jim Bean, I think it was called.
17 Q. Did you say "bean".
18 A. Bean.
19 Q. Can you spell it.
20 A. B-e-a-n.
21 Q. Okay. And who provided you with the
22 Bacardi.
23 A. Michael.
24 Q. Who provided you with the Jim Bean.
25 A. Michael.
26 Q. And who provided you with the vodka.
27 A. Michael.
28 Q. Did Mr. Jackson ever say anything to you 1573
1 about drinking and providing this alcohol to you.
2 A. No, he just said, like, well, it's Jesus
3 Juice and it was okay because Jesus drank it, and
4 stuff like that.
5 Q. Did you ever tell Mr. Jackson that you only
6 had one kidney.
7 A. Yes.
8 Q. And did you ever tell Mr. Jackson anything
9 about alcohol and your kidney.
10 MR. MESEREAU: Objection; leading.
11 THE COURT: Sustained.
12 Q. BY MR. SNEDDON: Did you ever have a
13 conversation with Mr. Jackson about your kidneys.
14 A. Yes.
15 Q. Kidney.
16 A. Kidney, yeah.
17 Q. Sorry. What did you tell him.
18 A. I told him that it was bad for me to drink
19 alcohol. And he said it's okay; that it's fine;
20 that nothing's going to happen.
21 Q. Do you recall how many occasions you had
22 that conversation with Mr. Jackson.
23 A. I think like three times.
24 Q. I couldn't hear you.
25 A. Maybe like three times.
26 Q. And where was it when you had these
27 conversations with Mr. Jackson.
28 A. I think once was in the office and the other 1574
1 two times were in kind of like the wine cellar
2 thing.
3 Q. Were there times that you went down to the
4 wine cellar where your brother wasn't present.
5 A. It was just me and Michael.
6 Q. Yes.
7 A. Yes.
8 Q. How many times do you think that just you
9 and Michael went down to the wine cellar. Now, I
10 want to stay — that was a bad question. Let me
11 just start over again. Okay.
12 A. Okay.
13 Q. I want to focus on the time where you got
14 there from Miami and the limo took you to the ranch
15 till the time that you left with Jesus, okay.
16 A. Okay.
17 Q. Did you ever go to the wine cellar with just
18 you and Mr. Jackson.
19 A. Yes.
20 Q. And on how many occasions was it just you
21 and Mr. Jackson in the wine cellar.
22 A. Not many. But, like, maybe five times
23 between Miami and Jesus.
24 Q. During the time that you were there from
25 Miami to Jesus, did you ever drink in the bedroom.
26 A. Yes.
27 Q. How many times do you think that was.
28 A. A lot, because we would sleep in his room, 1575
1 and then we would take the Jesus Juice up there.
2 Q. So you'd take the stuff up there to drink.
3 A. Yes.
Here's another interesting quote from Gavin; in this excerpt, he admits that although his mother allegedly wanted to leave Neverland, he wanted to stay because he was "kind of having fun":
4 Q. During the time you were at the ranch again,
5 from the time you got there in the limo till the
6 time you left with Jesus, do you know where your
7 mother was staying.
8 A. In her unit.
9 Q. In her what.
10 A. In her unit that they gave her.
11 Q. And did you ever go visit her.
12 A. Yes.
13 Q. How many times do you think you visited her.
14 A. Like, three times a week.
15 Q. And did you have — don't tell us what she
16 said, just tell us — I want to know, did you have
17 any conversations with her.
18 A. Yes.
19 Q. Did you ever have any conversations with her
20 about leaving.
21 A. Yes.
22 Q. Did you want to leave, you personally.
23 A. Not really, because I was kind of having
24 fun.
In this excerpt, Sneddon asked Gavin to describe the trip that he and his family made to their grandmother's home with Jesus Salas, a security manager at Neverland. Gavin claimed that he received a call from Frank Cascio, asking him and his family to return to Neverland because they were in danger, and their lives were being threatened. Sneddon mentioned during his opening statement that Janet returned to Neverland with her family because she was promised by Frank Cascio that neither Ronald Konitzer nor Dieter Weisner would be at the ranch, and when she arrived and saw them, she immediately asked to leave, and was taken to Jay Jackson's home by Jackson's bodyguard Chris Carter.
6 Q. Now, when you got back from — from Miami
7 and you went to the ranch – okay. – and before you
8 left with Jesus, same time period —
9 A. Okay.
10 Q. — did you see either Dieter or Ronald at
11 Neverland Valley Ranch.
12 A. No, I don't think so.
13 Q. Did you ever see them at the ranch.
14 A. Yes.
15 Q. When do you think you saw them there.
16 A. I think I saw them when we came back when —
17 after we left with Jesus.
18 Q. Now, you've identified the photograph of Mr.
19 Tyson.
20 A. Yes.
21 Q. And did you see Mr. Tyson at the ranch.
22 A. I don't know. I don't think so.
23 Q. During the entire time you were there, you
24 don't recall seeing him.
25 A. Yeah, I remember seeing him there at
26 Neverland.
27 Q. Oh, okay. Do you recall when it was you saw
28 him there. 1583
1 A. I don't remember the first time.
2 Q. Do you remember on how many occasions you
3 saw him there.
4 A. No. But I saw him there a lot. Well —
5 Q. I can't hear you.
6 A. No, but I saw him there.
7 Q. Did you ever see — the two people that you
8 talked about there, Dieter and Ronald – okay. —
9 A. Okay.
10 Q. — were they at the ranch at the same time
11 as Mr. Jackson.
12 A. Yes, I believe so.
13 Q. Did you ever see them together.
14 A. I think so. I did once or twice.
15 Q. All right. You left with the person you've
16 identified to the jury as a person by the name of
17 Jesus. Do you recall that.
18 A. Yes.
19 Q. And you told us you went to your
20 grandparents' place. What time was it when you left
21 with Jesus.
22 A. Late at night.
23 Q. And do you recall who it was that — well,
24 was it the person you knew as Jesus who did the
25 driving.
26 A. Yes.
27 Q. When you got to your grandparents' place,
28 did you ever go back to Neverland Valley Ranch after 1584
1 that.
2 A. Yes.
3 Q. And do you recall how many days there were
4 in between the time you left and the time you went
5 back.
6 A. I'm not sure. I think a few days.
7 Q. Do you ever recall, during the time that you
8 were off of the ranch, having a telephone
9 conversation with Frank Tyson.
10 A. Yes.
11 Q. And where were you when you received — when
12 you participated in that telephone conversation.
13 A. I'm not sure.
14 Q. Do you recall who else was present during
15 the conversation.
16 A. My mom.
17 Q. And did you talk to Mr. Tyson.
18 A. Yes.
19 Q. And what did Mr. Tyson say to you.
20 And it's offered under 1223, Your Honor.
21 THE COURT: All right. I'm accepting this
22 testimony conditionally, as before.
23 MR. MESEREAU: Objection noted, Your Honor.
24 THE COURT: Noted.
25 MR. MESEREAU: Thank you.
26 THE WITNESS: He was telling me about that
27 they were scared that something was going to happen
28 to me, and that they were worried, and they wanted 1585
1 us to come back up, stuff like that.
2 Q. BY MR. SNEDDON: Did you ever make any
3 complaints to Mr. Tyson.
4 A. Yeah.
5 Q. And what complaint did you make to Mr.
6 Tyson.
7 A. That I didn't like the — Dieter and Ronald.
8 Q. And why did you say that.
9 A. Because they had my mom worried, really.
10 And my mom was scared of them, so….
11 Q. Where was it that your mom had contact with
12 Dieter and Ronald.
13 MR. MESEREAU: Objection; foundation.
14 THE COURT: Sustained.
15 Q. BY MR. SNEDDON: Do you know where it was
16 that your mother had contact with Ronald or Dieter.
17 A. Now that I think back, I think it was at
18 Neverland, so I think they were there before we left
19 with Jesus. Or it could have been a phone call.
20 Q. I couldn't — all right. So you — you
21 voiced a complaint to Mr. Tyson on the phone.
22 A. Yes.
23 Q. And what did Mr. Tyson say to you about the
24 complaint. Do you recall anything.
25 A. He said that we'll never have to see them
26 again.
27 MR. MESEREAU: Objection, hearsay.
28 MR. SNEDDON: Offered for the same purpose, 1586
1 Your Honor.
2 THE COURT: All right. I'll allow the
3 testimony under the conditional admittance of
4 hearsay that I've ruled on before.
5 I'm a little concerned, though. It's not
6 clear to me —
7 MR. SNEDDON: How about if I go back and ask
8 a clarifying question. I think I know where the
9 Court's going.
10 THE COURT: All right.
11 MR. SNEDDON: I might be able to help the
12 Court.
13 Q. You told the ladies and gentlemen of the
14 jury that you had a telephone conversation with
15 Mr. Tyson at some point after you had left the ranch
16 with Jesus; is that correct.
17 A. Yes.
18 Q. And that your mother was present during that
19 conversation.
20 A. Yes.
21 Q. And that you personally talked to Mr. Tyson.
22 A. Yes.
23 Q. All right. Now, you were about to tell us
24 something that Mr. Tyson said, and I believe — if
25 you could do that.
26 And again, it's offered for the same reason,
27 Your Honor.
28 MR. MESEREAU: Objection; hearsay. 1587
1 THE COURT: I'll admit it conditionally.
2 Q. BY MR. SNEDDON: Go ahead.
3 A. He just told me that I would never have to
4 see them again.
5 Q. See "them," meaning who.
6 A. Dieter and Ronald.
7 Q. Now, at some point you went back to the
8 ranch —
9 A. Yes.
10 Q. — is that correct.
11 And do you recall how you got back there.
12 A. I'm not too sure.
13 Q. Who went back with you.
14 A. Me, my mom, my brother, my sister.
15 Q. And when you got back to the ranch, do you
16 recall whether — what time of the day or night it
17 was.
18 A. No.
19 Q. When you got back to the ranch, do you
20 recall whether or not you saw Dieter or Ronald.
21 A. Yes.
22 Q. Do you recall where they were when you saw
23 them.
24 A. I think I saw Dieter in the kitchen sitting
25 on the stool thing. And he's saying that we were
26 going to, like, go to —
27 Q. You're going to have to talk into that and
28 not mumble. 1588
1 A. And he told us that he wanted to, like, go
2 to Australia or Brazil, or something like that, for
3 a vacation.
4 Q. Do you know whether or not your mom remained
5 on the ranch, or left that night or that day that
6 you got back.
7 A. I think that was the day that she went down
8 to see my now stepdad.
9 Q. I can't hear you.
10 A. I think that was the day that she went down
11 to go see my now stepdad.
Next, Sneddon asked Gavin to describe the alarms that went off outside of Jackson's bedroom when they were set off as people walked into his bedroom:
12 Q. Now, during the time that you were at
13 Neverland Valley Ranch, you've told us that you were
14 in Mr. Jackson's bedroom and in his bed, correct.
15 A. Yes.
16 Q. Now, how do you get into Mr. Jackson's
17 bedroom.
18 A. You walk through these big double doors, and
19 then — and then you walk to the other door, and
20 then you punch in a code, and then there are two
21 other double doors, the little lock goes off, and
22 then you can open the door, and then — and that's
23 his room.
24 Q. Now, are there any — does anything go off
25 when you get to a certain point —
26 A. Yes.
27 Q. — that you're walking down the hallway.
28 A. Yes. 1589
1 Q. What is it that goes off.
2 A. Well, when you go in the first door, it goes
3 like this, a little ringing sound goes off. And
4 then when you punch in the code, another — it goes
5 off again.
6 Q. Can you hear from the outside of — when it
7 goes off.
8 A. Yes.
9 Q. Can you tell us what it sounds like.
10 A. "Dee-doo, dee-doo." Sounds like that.
11 Q. And do you recall how many times it goes —
12 I'm not going to imitate you — how many times it
13 does that.
14 A. I'm not sure. I think it was like — maybe
15 like three times.
16 Q. Now, where did you get the code to get into
17 Mr. Jackson's bedroom or into his bedroom suite.
18 A. Michael.
19 Q. Pardon.
20 A. Michael.
21 Q. Was there more than one code to get in
22 there.
23 A. Yeah, I think so. Because the nurse — I
24 mean, not the nurse. The maid lady would punch in a
25 different code than the one I knew.
26 Q. So did you get another set of codes from
27 somebody.
28 A. Oh, from — for the other — well, there's 1590
1 another door to the main house that I knew a code
2 for.
3 Q. You did or did not.
4 A. Did.
Gavin is then asked about the times when he was allegedly served alcohol by Jackson, and he claimed that he was given Vodka on numerous occasions, which was so strong and powerful that during one occasion his head began to spin, and he put his head into a pillow to alleviate the pain:
10 Q. Now, do you remember — you told us that
11 some of the times that you drank vodka with Mr.
12 Jackson, correct.
13 A. Yes.
14 Q. Do you ever remember a situation — what
15 effect did the vodka have on you.
16 A. Well, there was just one time — well, vodka
17 really tasted —
18 Q. You're going to have to lean into that and
19 talk so we can hear you.
20 A. I don't really understand what you're —
21 Q. What effect did the vodka have on you.
22 A. What did it make me feel like.
23 Q. Yeah.
24 A. Well, there was one time where — where the
25 first time that Michael introduced me to vodka, he
26 had, like, a glass about that big —
27 MR. MESEREAU: Objection. Calls for a
28 narrative; nonresponsive. 1591
1 THE COURT: It's nonresponsive.
2 Q. BY MR. SNEDDON: All right. Did Mr. Jackson
3 provide vodka to you.
4 A. Yes.
5 Q. And how did he — and what did he provide it
6 to you in.
7 A. In a glass about that big.
8 Q. So you're indicating maybe two or three
9 inches.
10 A. I guess. I don't know.
11 Q. And what kind of a glass — where were you
12 when he provided it to you.
13 A. I was in the wine cellar.
14 Q. And did you see him pour the vodka into it.
15 A. No.
16 Q. Did you know what it was when you first
17 sipped it.
18 A. No.
19 Q. How was it that you ended up drinking that
20 particular glass.
21 A. I walked down there, because I asked where
22 Michael was — well, we were in the arcade, and
23 that's what we usually kind of did. And then so I
24 went down to the wine cellar and I saw Michael
25 there, and then Michael had the glass poured. And
26 then I asked him what that was, and he said, "Drink
27 it." And then he said like —
28 MR. MESEREAU: Objection. 1592
1 MR. SNEDDON: All right.
2 MR. MESEREAU: Nonresponsive.
3 Q. BY MR. SNEDDON: What did he say to you.
4 A. He told me to drink the —
5 THE COURT: Just a moment. There's an
6 objection pending, or just to the narrative.
7 MR. MESEREAU: Narrative, Your Honor.
8 THE COURT: Go ahead with your next question.
9 Q. BY MR. SNEDDON: What did he say to you.
10 A. He told me to drink the vodka.
11 Q. And did you do that.
12 A. Yes, but I didn't know it was vodka. I
13 thought it was water, because it's, like, clear.
14 Q. Okay.
15 A. So I drank it really fast like if it was
16 water. And then I didn't really — when I brought
17 it to my nose, it smelled like rubbing alcohol, and
18 then I chucked it back really quick, and it started
19 burning. Well, I, like, took down the whole thing,
20 but it really burned.
21 And then like two or three seconds later my
22 head started — like it looked like the room was
23 spinning, so I put my head inside the couch. You
24 know the green couch that I was talking about. I
25 put my head inside it so I couldn't see the room
26 spinning, because it was kind of hurting.
27 Q. Why did you do that. Why did you put your
28 head into the couch, in the pillow. 1593
1 A. I — I remember when I was a little, we'd
2 spin around a lot when we play. I would close my
3 eyes or put my head into a pillow or something, so
4 that way I wouldn't see the room spin.
5 Q. Was that the only occasion that you drank
6 vodka with Mr. Jackson.
7 A. No.
8 Q. Were there other occasions.
9 A. Yeah.
10 Q. How many, do you think, where you had vodka
11 with Mr. —
12 A. I'm not sure. Because when we'd drink wine,
13 we'd usually have a little bit of vodka, so — a lot
14 of times.
On a final note, here is a clip of Mesereau explaining to the media how overblown the "Pajama Day" controversy really was! It was Jackson's intention to go home and change, but Mesereau advised him to go straight to court in order to arrive on time and remain free.
Gavin's testimony continues in the next post…..
stacy2 permalinkJune 14, 2012 6:19 am
Because Judge Melville was pro-prosecution. You could tell by his rulings.
Rodrigo permalinkJune 13, 2012 2:20 pm
7 years ago today…NOT GUILTY!!! 😀
I remember watching it with my family, we were all gripping each others hands tightly and when the verdict was read out, NOT GUILTY, NOT GUILTY – we were just so overjoyed, it was unbelievable.
God bless those who fought and continue to fight for justice in Michael's name 🙂
aldebaran permalinkJune 13, 2012 1:39 pm
I always wondered why Judge Melville went bananas like that–issuing an order for arrest and revoking the 3 million dollar bail b/c Michael had a back injury. What if he had been in a car accident and was in a coma–would they still want him to rush there? It seems so unfair and illogical. Why didn't the judge at least talk to the doctor?? We know that Michael had a bad back from falling 50 feet when a bridge fell down during a peformance of Earth Song.
June 12, 2012 1:03 pm
Just out of curiosity, where are all of these transcripts from? Are they all online somewhere?
nannorris permalinkJune 11, 2012 11:11 pm
from Gavins testimony:
24 A. Well, there was one time where — where the
25 first time that Michael introduced me to vodka, he
26 had, like, a glass about that big –
It is so obvious this kid has been coached what to say..Michael "introduced him to vodka" what kid uses an expression like that..
Furthermore Starr speaks like he barely knew who Larry Feldman was and yet his brother,, Gavin, in on a first name basis with him
How many times did the Arvizo actually meet with this Atty Feldman ,, who supposedly just passed this family off to Sneddon ,, that he is calling him Larry…
Feldman,was supposedly only doing a little pro bono work for this poor family, because they had no plans for a civil suit., even thought the fees were already decided…….pfft

1) I will make 20 different pages for a website in the future. Currently I'm testing WF platform and as far as I see every styles are collected in a single CSS file "langspire.webflow.css"
is it possible to seperate css files for each pages?
2) Secondly, css structure is weird. For example, normally every element's css hierarchy like here:
https://codepen.io/Cosmodrome/pen/dWgrbz But in WF I have to give every element's CSS name differently.
Let's say you have to columns container. you have 2 different titles in every column. you can't give same CSS name for titles. Normally we can, as I demonstrated above by using element hierarchy.
those 2 issues prevent me to move on. I think webflow uses script to differentiate/transform styles as the website is running. But in this way I can not make a proper structure right now as designing/building website.
for example one of my title style name like this: "section2_services_service2_infoContainer_title"
I hope I could explain my problem here. How can I use more simple and organized styles?
thank you

It's a Wikid world
Diplomacy is cloaked in polite bureaucratese and Wikileaks promised to reveal its inner workings. We expected exposés on nuclear weapons and networks. Instead, we learned how much backbiting, mood pills and plain old personal hatreds matter in high places. Pramitpal Chaudhuri takes stock of wiki-diplomacy. Wikiteachingsworld Updated: Dec 05, 2010 00:53 IST
A. Hackers vs hunters
The struggle for 21st century mastery is upon us - and it's between Google and China. China it is now known launched a cyberattack on Google because one of its top leaders was enraged at the results he got when he searched his own name. Superpower versus searchpower? Brin versus Beijing? It says something about the hammerlock these two have on global information that we may never know if Google and China both decide to censor the results.
B. Spy Link
John Le Carré is presumably writing furiously a new novel in which Hillary Clinton is the new Smiley and the United Nations the new Berlin. Who would have though Hillary would be such an espionage buff? Or that anyone would believe you could find anything remotely interesting to spy on in the United Nations?
Bugging Ban Ki-Moon, one suspects, would produce unintelligible transcripts and top secret discussions on whether the UN should place World Twiddlesticks Day on Tuesday or Monday. A License to Bore. Now we know that they under orders to collect people's DNA, we should all give a fragment of hair to any US diplomat we meet at a cocktail party. Make their day but draw the line at urine samples.
C. The Bromance Connection
The new Axis of Europe, Wikileaks has revealed, is between Rome and Moscow. Silvio Berlusconi and Vladimir Putin have forged a bond based on lavish gifts, energy contracts, possibly girls and shared largish egos. Textbooks say allies need common national interests. Here's one based on expense accounts and testosterone.
If the US State Department's assessment that Putin has made Russia into a "mafia state" is right, then Moscow may also be looking for some hints from the original home of sawn-off shotgun-wielding olive-oil exporting families. So that's why Russian rulers used to say Moscow was the "New Rome".
D. Kimchi Impossible
Now we know, even the Chinese are driven mad by the the cognac-swilling and nuke-blasting inner circle of Kim Jong Il. They may shield him from attack, help him peddle missiles and acquire centrifuges, and give him money and aid, but the truth Beijing's new leadership finds him insufferable. Their present plan, it seems, is to wait for an asteroid to hit him.
E. Assange Corridor
Julian Assange, the brave and reckless head of Wikileaks, spends most of his time in airports. Thanks to all these documents and the flak he has received about them, the South American nation of Equador has offered him residency. He might take that up given his legal hassles in what he had hoped would be an all-protecting Sweden. It is less free than Ecuador it seems. But it has more blondes, so Assange, whose son has admitted "my father has a problem with women", will have a tough decision ahead of him.
F. Gitmo Getaway
Guantanamo Bay is the darkest side of the war on terrorism. Wikileaks has revealed that the only country seemingly willing to take the Gitmo detainees after they are freed is Albania. This is the final act of rendition, the most unusual act of migration in the world. We'll find out next year if any of the ex-prisoners want to go back to Cuba. After all, this is Albania and Gitmo, at the end of the day,is a Caribbean beachfront property. Reportedly Ladbrooke's is taking bets those vacant cells will be occupied by Julian Assange and his ilk.
G. The Pharma Triangle
Even as we speak, the best brains of US intelligence are trying to get the medical files of Khamenei of Iran, Kirchner of Argentina and Karzai of Afghanistan. These three are a bit off because Washington's cable traffice shows the US believes they are a bit sick - especially in the head. Khamenei, say the Wikileak files, is a suspected cancer patient.
Kirchner is speculated to be on drugs and Karzai, as a US ambassador said in another publication, makes sense depending on whether he is "on his meds or off his meds." Forget missiles and confidence building measures: world safety really depends on whether people with fingers on various buttons are popping the right pills..
H. Gulf of Hate
Forget Israel vs Palestine, Indians vs Pakistanis, even Manchester United vs Manchester City. The real global gulf is,well, the Persian Gulf. Sunni Arab leaders like King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia are beside themselves with hatred for the Shia Iranians to their north. They want someone, anyone, to nuke Tehran or at least flog the ayatollahs with a wet noodle.
They're snakes, they lie, they are the greatest danger to world peace since Warcraft World - and this is the Arab Gulf royalty while speaking diplomatically in English. Think of what they say at home in Arabic about the Iranians. Watch this space. Ahmadinejad, for once, actually showed some cool. He said Assange and his works were clearly the product of Langley.
I. Exploding mangoes in Pak
So we do know our enemy. India always argued Pakistan didn't need aid, recognition or F-16s. It needed therapy. The Wikileak cables show that the US believes the same. Pakistan is in "tatters," its ruling establishment enjoy backstabbling each other in front of US officials, and its military are ready to sacrifice their country to wild-haired militants just to use them to terrorise India.
Pakistan is not a failed state, said the US ambassador to Pakistan, but even the most rosy-eyed American admits in the cables that it is making a good job of mimicking one. So the US largely takes the same view of Pakistan that India does. But its outward policy to Islamabad is all milk and honey - seemingly out of fear, a like for khaki uniformed types and possibly Frontier cuisine. Oh, and we learnt that General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani really does not like his president. Another case of exploding mangoes?

Snow Removal, Heated Driveways and Your Health
Winter is coming to New Jersey and with it comes all that snow. Digging out your car and driveway is tedious, tiring and a miserable chore, and the American Heart Association warns us that shoveling snow may increase the chance for a heart attack. Snow removal is life-threatening, and there isn't always some one around to do it for us.
There are weeks when the snow is relentless and we need to shovel every day. Why put stress on your heart and back when there is an easy low cost alternative to suffering from one of the curses of winter?
The solution is to put in a heated driveway. Let's look at the reasons to heat your driveway.
Save on Shoveling Costs
A single snow removal for an average sized driveway costs from $100 to $200 depending who is doing the job. When the heavy snows come day after day that adds up fast.
The cost of heating your driving however, is a one time expense and gives you years of worry free winter months. Heating your driving runs about $12 to $25 a square foot, depending on the system. When you compare that one-time cost to the number of nor'easters we have dropping tons of snow on us each year, it is easy to see which is the most cost effective choice.
Reduce Your Health Risks
In the winter months, hospitals gear up to expect heart attack victims, and snow removal is the number one cause. Shoveling snow and even using a snow blower puts stress on the heart.
The average weight of a snow full of snow is 25 pounds, and those aching muscles you feel after moving eight inches of snow off your driveway could be heart attack symptoms.
Experience Increased Efficiency
Heated driveways are energy efficient, and they operate only when needed. The cost of melting the snow and ice on your driveway runs about sixty cents an hour on average, and it doesn't take long to melt it away.
For the cost of about $150 for an entire season's snow and ice melt. It makes sense, and the system pays for itself in no time and it adds value to your property.
When you look at the risk and expense of manual removal, the smart homeowner will see the value of a heated driveway. For peace of mind and safety call your contractor for an estimate before the hard winter months set in.
Make your Ramsey, NJ a safer, more comfortable place to live with a heated driveway. Call McFarlane Asphalt at (201) 327-5258 to get started!

The family of Joseph Battell funded the project, which was built originally as a Civil War monument in 1874-76 and also for the purpose of daily worship, mandatory for students until 1926.

This slim collection of very loosely connected stories -- the boat motif is all that binds them -- was a bit wooden for my taste. The stories seemed constructed and had little strong voice in them, and yet at the same time we're not plot-driven either, and thus seemed to dither around. Now, at a three-week remove from having read it, only a single character stands out -- the bitchy architect/journal writer whose fear of being abandoned caused him to write pages and pages and pages of journals castigating his long-time boyfriend -- and I didn't like him!

D2L was at 2,100th on Amazon this morning, which I thought was pretty nice, and then it shot up to 1884th, which I know is the highest it's ever been on Amazon. Who buys books early on a Sunday morning? But thanks! I'm sure it's just what Dad wants!

Koreans love to drink.
I remember reading about their high level of alcohol consumption while I was in Poland and I thought, 'No way could anyone drink MORE than Polish people or Eastern Europeans in general'. BUT, then I got there and discovered that where there's a will, there's a way and the Korean people certainly found a way.
Case in point, I've seen Koreans throw back Soju (Korean rice wine) at bbq's, on mountain climbing trips, while river rafting and during pretty much any other activity that expresses their love of the outdoors (this includes passing out on the sidewalks – hey, it's still outside).
Any expat who has lived in South Korea for an extended period of time has a story about drinking too much Soju and either hugging a refrigerator crisper drawer (for puking in) whilst passing out on the floor or hallucinating that the CIA was coming to get them. The next morning you consider giving up the spirit entirely but then you wait a couple of months and try it again because, like the Korean people, Soju is resilient and that should be respected.
This cocktail is modeled after the hotel bar green tea martinis which my husband and I drank in celebration of our engagement. However, instead of vodka or gin, I'm using Soju as a nod to my time spent in South Korea and because there just aren't many cocktails centered around the Korean alcohol. If you can't find it, no worries-just substitute vodka and make a martini. This cocktail goes well with Korean fried chicken, any kind of barbeque and KTV (karaoke). Just be careful of where you end up later after one too many cocktails.
Korean Iced Tea
- 1 part green tea syrup **(recipe down below)
- 2 parts soju
- ice
- lemon slices
Korean Iced Tea
- 0.5L (a little over 2 cups) water
- 4 tea bags of jasmine green tea
- 100g (about 1/2 cup) sugar
Green tea syrup

Korean Iced Tea

- Run through a sieve and let cool.
- Cover and refrigerate after making.
- Can be used for cocktails (alcoholic and nonalcoholic) or drizzled over fruit and shaved ice and other desserts.

Just got this from the mail a few hours ago. Just goes to prove how top budget airline Cebu Pacific knows their marketing, despite the flight delays, LOL. They have launched the Wandering Juan Photo Contest in time for the lean travelling months of July to October. Get your pics taken in your location of choice, and have a chance to win free round trip tickets for two to Cebu Pacific international destinations, namely Singapore, Bangkok and Kota Kinabalu.
Highlights of the contest mechanics are the following:
1. Local (Filipino) and foreign travellers are eligible to join, for as long as they bought their CebuPac tickets from July 1 to Oct. 31, 2009.
2. Entries should fall under any of these categories:
– Photos of landmarks and other sceneries, with a caption of no more than six sentences.
– Photos of local residents, with a description of the person (including name and occupation) or a memorable quote from the person not exceeding six sentences.
– Travelogue with a series of five photographs that tell a story. It must come with a one-sentence caption.
Entries for all categories should feature a pair of tsinelas (flip-flops or slippers), which may range from Havaianas to Havanas, LOL. For photo samples, view the gallery in the official contest website.
This should be interesting. Hope the contest website doesn't break down from the weight of all the entries. We know how Filipinos love to take photos during their trips, hehehe. I really don't know the connection between slippers and Cebu Pacific, but that's the motif they've chosen anyway. In all my recent trips, I've worn my favorite, super-soft sandals from Ipanema… so yes, that's relevant 😀

If you want to update your home, but you want to be conscious of your impact on the environment, you can change the feel of just about any room with a custom area rug. To reduce your environmental impact, you are going to want to purchase a custom area rug that is made out of natural fibers. Natural fibers are derived from materials such as seagrass, sisal, and mountain grass.
Sisal is a natural fiber that comes from the leaves of a specific cactus plant, the agave sisalana. You can find the agava sisalana in both Brazil in Africa. It generally grows in semi-arid regions.
The fibers that are used to create custom area rugs are harvested by hand from the leaves of the agave sisalana plant.
Sisal is a great material for area rugs because it is really strong and durable. It is stronger than a lot of other natural fibers, which is why sisal fibers are often used not just for rugs but for ropes and twines as well.
A variation of sisal is sisal wool, where the strong sisal fibers are combined together with wool. This creates a nice, thick area rug that is also extremely soft and warm as well.
Seagrass is another natural fiber that is used to create area rugs. Seagrass is harvested from tropical grasses. Seagrass is non-porous, which means that it is really easy to clean and does not stain easily, as there are no pores for liquids to soak into.
Seagrass fibers are also really smooth to the touch. They have an almost slick feeling to them. They also have a little bit of a natural sheen as well.
Due to being a non-porous, seagrass area rug cannot be died, which means they only come in a natural green color. The color tends to fade and change over time and become browner and less green.
Mountain Grass
Mountain grass is a particular type of grass that grows in China. This mountain grass is a very smooth fiber. It can be harvested by machine or by hand. It is easy to mass product mountain grass, making it one of the most affordable natural fibers that are used in custom area rugs.
Like seagrass, mountain grass is not very porous, which means that it only comes in its natural color. You have to settle for a beautiful copper brown rug if you want one made out of mountain grass.
If you want a custom area rug made out of natural materials, consider a rug made out of sisal, sisal wool, seagrass or mountain grass for your home. It will provide your home with a custom and eco-friendly look.Share

When we started renovating our home, I knew that it was going to be a long process. By the time we got to the flooring, I was tired of making big decisions. Part of me just wanted to give up and let the contractor choose something that he thought would mesh well with the rest of the paint colors. However, I realized that since I would be living with the flooring for awhile, I should really take the time to choose. I spent a few weeks evaluating different flooring samples, and I ended up going with a really nice travertine. This blog is all about finding the right flooring for your home.

The Nature of PEI
by Gary Schneider
There is a buzz around pollinators these days. We're hearing about them as never before, whether we care about honeybees, Monarch butterflies, or the hundreds of other pollinators that are important contributors to environmental health. Concerns over neonicotinoids, an insecticide used on many PEI crops, are all over the news as scientists document the damage they are causing to honeybees and other forms of wildlife.
There are also pollinator problems associated with habitat loss and climate change. The Monarch butterfly has become the poster insect for these threats. As with the panda and the seal, the rise of concern over monarchs, no matter how well deserved, shouldn't take the focus away from the many other species that deserve our attention. But Monarchs are getting hammered from all sides. The destruction of habitat on their wintering grounds in Mexico, the changing weather patterns, and pervasive use of pesticides have resulted in their numbers dropping precipitously.
In the midst of this bad news is a renewed interested in one of our rarest native plants—the swamp milkweed. At Macphail Woods, we started growing these perennials about five years ago in order to attract Monarch butterflies. It turned out to be one of those "If you build it, they will come" moments. The following summer, a group of summer students found the first Monarch caterpillars on the plants. It seemed too good to be true. But since then, the Monarchs and their caterpillars have shown up every year in increasing numbers. And we keep planting more.
As part of our extensive plantings at Eliot River school and the neighbouring Terry Fox Sports Complex in Cornwall, we have added lots of swamp milkweed with the help of the school's students and faculty. Last year, we created a large garden bed specifically to attract pollinators. The swamp milkweeds are front and centre, but they are flanked by other native wildflowers, including Joe Pye weed, cutleaf coneflower, blue flag iris and blue-eyed grass. We're hopeful that once these mature, that they will provide a very welcoming space for pollinators that is visually stunning.
And it is the "stunning" part that is often forgotten when we're thinking about native plants. Swamp milkweed stands up against any other plant for beauty, hardiness, and ease of growing. It has clusters of beautiful pink flowers that come out mid-July and will be around well into September. The plants reach three feet in height and work well in large blocks. We'll often plant 50-60 in an area, as it seems like it's "the more the merrier" for Monarchs. Dense plantings help protect the caterpillars and become a very showy, low-maintenance area.
While its name might lead one to believe that it needs to have wet feet, swamp milkweed thrives in all but the driest conditions. Lots of organic matter and mulch, and at least initially a weed-free setting is all the help they need. Once the plants start to set seed, you'll have more little ones than you know what to do with, as the seeds readily germinate around the adult plants or can be collected for planting.
Planting this rare native species will bring great pleasure to anyone interested in enhancing an area for pollinators of all kinds, including Monarch butterflies. But the plants will also delight gardeners and should be a much more common species around Island homes.
It's a small action that won't solve all the other threats to Monarchs, but falling in love with this native plant and taking pleasure in seeing Monarchs winging around gardens is a start.

Rising Rates Prompt Cash Buyers to Act
This is a somewhat surprising percentage of sales that where all cash. Please read the article below and let me know what you think.
The FHA Condos Approval Company, Inc.
Please +1 Us on Google, Follow Us on Twitter or Like Us on facebook
While higher mortgage rates have been blamed for the slowdown in pending home sales, they may be contributing to an increase in cash purchases, RealtyTrac suggested in a recent report.
In July, about 40 percent of residential property sales were all-cash transactions. The share presents an increase from 35 percent in June and 31 percent compared to July 2012.
Dallas experienced the biggest monthly increase in cash sales, at 82 percent, followed by St. Louis (+66 percent), Los Angeles (+32 percent), Riverside-San Bernardino in Southern California (+26 percent), Seattle (+21 percent), and Phoenix (+21 percent).
Daren Blomquist, VP at RealtyTrac, explained rising rates could be leading to a higher percentage of cash purchases, while "some non-cash buyers can no longer afford to buy, particularly in high-priced markets."
Short sales also accounted for a bigger share of sales in July, increasing to 14 percent, up from 13 percent in the prior month and 9 percent from a year ago. Meanwhile, institutional investor purchases and sales for bank-owned properties fell flat, at 9 percent for each type of sale, unchanged from June and July 2012.
Overall, RealtyTrac reported an increase in July sales, with sales volume rising 4 percent from June and 11 percent compared to a year ago.
Despite the national gain, sales were still down year-over-year in eight states—California (-17 percent), Alabama (-14 percent), Arizona (-11 percent), Nevada (-7 percent), Georgia (-2 percent), New York (-2 percent), Hawaii (-1 percent), and Oregon (-1 percent).
