- If applicable, say that the B of R applies to the states via the DPC of the 14th Amendment.
- What is the rational basis test?
The law will be upheld if it is RATIONALLY RELATED to a LEGITIMATE government purpose. That purpose need not be the law's actual purpose.
The CHALLENGER had the Burden of Proof. (B.O.P.)
- What is the intermediate scrutiny test?
Law will be upheld if it is SUBSTANTIALLY related to an IMPORTANT government purpose.
Looks at the *actual* purpose.
Govt need not use the BEST least restrictive means, just a good one.
The GOVT has the B.O.P.
- For a law to pass intermediate scrutiny, does it have to employ the least restrictive means possible of promoting that goal?
- No.

NEVER employe rts vs. privileges analysis.
DO use the word "entitlement," which is a reasonable expectation of continued receipt of a benefit.
- Can the government commit a due process clause violation through negligence?
No. There must be INTENTIONAL government action, or at least RECKLESS action.
In emergencies, the govt is liable under DPC only if its conduct "shocks the consciece."
- Imagine that a high speed police chase led to the death of a teenage boy. Is there a DPC violation?
- No. It was an emergency situation, and so police are only liable if their behavior "shocks the conscience."
- Imagine that the govt fails to protect a citizen from a privately inflicted harm (like a parent abusing a child for years). Is there a DPC violation?
- Generally no. The government only has such a duty if the person is in government CUSTODY or the government CREATES THE HARM.
- If there has been a deprivation of life, liberty, or property, how do you decide what procedures are required?
You use a balancing test.
(1) The importance of the interest to the individual
(2) The ability of additional procedures to increase the accuracy of the fact-finding
(3) the government's interests, which are usually efficiency and saving money.

Pre-seizure notice and a hearing.
Exception: exigent circumstances, where the govt has reason to believe that the defendant would dispose of the property if given notice. In that case, notice and hearing after seizure.
- What if the govt seizes property in emergency circumstances, and a co-owner asserts an innocent owner defense?
- Doesn't matter. No DPC violation.
- What is SUBSTANTIVE due process?
- It asks whether the govt has an adequate reason for taking away a person's life, liberty, or property. It protects economic liberties and privacy.
- What are the economic liberties protected by substantive DP?

(2) Pre-existing contracts (contracts clause)
Under substantive due process, what test is used for laws affecting economic rights?
ex. employment regulation, consumer protection laws...
- Rational basis review.

- For a govt taking, is the amount of property possessed relevant? What if it's just 1 square foot?
- Doesn't matter.
- For a regulatory taking, how severe does the decrease in economic value have to be?
- It has to leave NO reasonable economically viable use. Penn Central: Co. bought station intending to build on top of it. New regulation prevented bldg. Still no taking b/c other uses possible.
- Is it a taking when the government imposes conditions on DEVELOPMENT of property?
- The government must justify the conditions by a benefit roughly proportionate to the burden imposed. Otherwise it is a taking.
- May a property owner bring a takings challenge to regulations that existed at the time of purchase of property?
- Yes.
- Is it a taking when the govt temporarily denies an owner use of property?
- No, so long as the govt action is reasonable. In Tahoe, found reasonable to prevent building for 3 years for an environmental study.
- Under takings analysis, what constitutes "public use"?
- Broad definition: a "reasonable belief" that it will benefit the public. It can be taking property from one private owner to give it to another (like a developer).
- Under takings analysis, what is just compensation?
- It is an amount equal to the loss to the owner. The gain to the taker is irrelevant.
- What does the contracts clause say?
- It states that no STATE shall impair the obligations of contracts. Art. 1 section 10.
- Does the contracts clause apply to future contracts?
- No! It applies only to STATE OR LOCAL interference with EXISTING contracts.
- What is the test for a contracts clause violation against a PRIVATE actor?
Sort of intermediate scrutiny.

- What is the test for a contracts clause violation against a PUBLIC actor?
- Strict scrutiny.
- What if legislation changes civil liability after it has occurred?
- It must meet a rational basis test. Ex post facto criminal laws are prohibited by the Constitution. Remember contracts issues are civil.

(6) Purchase and use contraceptives
(7) Abortion
(8) Engage in private consensual sexual activity
(9) Refuse medical treatment
- Is it OK for a court to order grandparent visitation over a parent's objection?
- No. That would interfere with the parent's right to control the upbringing of her child.

Pre-viability: may not prohibit, but may regulate so long as does not create an undue burden on ability to obtain. 24 hr waiting period OK, physician required OK.
Post-viability: states may prohibit unless necessary to protect the woman's life or health.
- Does the government have a duty to subsidize abortions or provide them in public hospitals?
- No.

A little bit of history...
The Family Medical Leave Act was written into law nearly 25 years ago, and has been a labor law staple in the United States ever since its inception in 1993. Yet, a large portion of the workforce has little to no knowledge about what FMLA does and who qualifies for it - and even less employees know about Intermittent FMLA leave. Like the FMLA law itself, the intermittent leave clauses were created with good intentions, and for the most part it is utilized appropriately. However, intermittent leave does leave the door open for the possibility of exploitation. In this post we'll examine the intermittent leave process and what employers can do limit the likelihood of intermittent leave abuse.
There's another type of "Family Medical Leave"...
Why is a good leave approval system so important?
In theory, it makes complete sense. A lot medical conditions don't necessarily need to disable someone from work for more than 3 days for them to be considered a serious medical condition. Some conditions might require frequent doctor visits, exhibit periodical flare-ups, or in the case of mental illnesses, make work unexpectedly intolerable on a day to day basis. In those cases, intermittent leave offers job protection that goes beyond ones paid sick time or PTO. Although to expect a company or the employee to go through the leave approval process every time a day of work is missed on intermittent basis is unrealistic. Which is why the initial intermittent leave of absence approval process is crucial.
Separate Your Approval Process.
That's why it's important for the medical certification form designates a section that asks the medical provider to give an educated guess, given the medical condition, on about how much time that employee might need to miss. For example, one to three absences every two months, or 10 absences annually, or whatever the case may be. The intermittent leave can then be approved within the confines of the provider's recommendation. If the employee does start missing more time then what they were approved for, the employer can then request an updated medical certification validating the increase of absences.
To that end, managers need to be educated on the intermittent leave process and more importantly they need to learn to keep good records and report all absences to either their HR department or third party admin. Proper leave tracking is essential in combating intermittent leave abuse. After all, making the effort to designate the appropriate intermittent leave can prove futile if accurate absence records aren't kept and reported. Time allowed on intermittent leave is the same as it is for normal continuous leave - 12 weeks within a rolling calendar - which on an intermittent basis is a lot of time and can wreak havoc on a work schedule if it's not properly administered and tracked.
Another misconception that occurs when employers aren't well versed on FMLA is they make the assumption that a person who approved on intermittent leave can therefore miss 3 or more consecutive days and have those days simply count against their approved intermittent leave. That is not the case. For someone who is on approved intermittent leave, if they miss 3 or more consecutive days, even if it's for the same medical condition they were approved intermittently for, that would still be considered a separate continuous leave where the full FMLA process must be administered for approval. Another related misconception is absences occurring immediately before and after unscheduled days off and those not being recognized as continuous leaves – but they are. For example, an intermittent approved employee who has the weekends off, if they miss Friday citing intermittent LOA and then they also miss Monday citing the same, while technically they only missed two days of work, that is still considered a continuous leave and a new medical certification is needed for approval.

Void Manipulation is power over the void, nothingness or non-existence.
Possible Uses
- Conversion to nothingness/existence erasure: The user of this ability might be capable of turning targets to nothing. This can range from only turning the matter of the target to nothing to also turning things like its energy, mind, soul, space, time and/or concept to nothing. Note that most users of this ability have not the full range of the ability. Further note that one shouldn't list a character to have resistance/immunity against this ability in total, as that requires a character to have shown resistance against every imaginable ability which can erase a target.
- Existing in non-existence: The user might be capable of existing in a place outside of existence in general. Similarly a user might be capable of dragging something else into such a place.

Otherwise I think that the 10 or so first episodes were slightly better than some of the later ones. I was expecting it to take a different course or something. :S I don't know really, it's still hella cool! It's just that the first episodes managed to pull me in slightly better with the horror the Titans brought by entering the town and such. Oh, and the brutality and occasional gore didn't really bother me, I thought it would affect me more but seemingly not.
Man, I can't wait for the second season! I'll certainly do some cosplaying for future anime conventions, boahaha.. ~

idiomatic XMPP library for node.js
Now usable in browsers too thanks to Browserify.
We've split
node-xmpp into a set of submodules, realistically its now one of these that you'll want to use rather than
node-xmpp itself. This project remains so existing users can continue to use the project, and as a location for integration tests. New users should make use of the sub-modules.
Note: We now only support nodejs versions 0.8.0 and greater.
With package manager npm:
npm install node-xmpp
Install the dev dependencies, then...
npm test
To run the tests and the code style checks then use:
grunt test
Also see the tests run in travis. The tests in travis run both the code and code style tests.
How to use
Please see the various examples.
Objectives of node-xmpp:
- Use node.js conventions, especially
EventEmitter, ie. for write buffer control
- Fast parsing,
node-expatwas written for this library
- Client support for both XMPP clients and components
- Optional server infrastructure with
- After authentication, leave trivial protocol bits to the user, that is XML handling according to any XEP
- Client authentication with SASL DIGEST-MD5, PLAIN, ANONYMOUS, X-FACEBOOK-PLATFORM
_xmpp-client._tcpSRV record support
- Simple JID parsing with Stringprep normalization
- Optional now, you won't need ICU for just node-xmpp
- Please be aware if you identify users by JIDs
npm install node-stringprep
- Uses ltx
- Much easier to handle than a standard DOM
- xmlns-aware
- Easy XML builder like Strophe.js (see down)
- Non-buffering serialization
- Was split out of node-xmpp for modularization and resuability
- Component connections
- Run your own server/talk to other servers with
- Even runs in the Browser.
- node-expat (requires libexpat!)
- ltx
- node-stringprep: for icu-based string normalization.
Built with node-xmpp

This foundation is complemented by two basic data structures:
- JID: a Jabber-Id, represented as a triple of
- Element: any XML Element
Building XML Elements
Strophe.js' XML Builder is very convenient for producing XMPP
stanzas. ltx includes it in a much more primitive way: the
cnode() and
t() methods can be called on any Element
object, returning the new child element.
This can be confusing: in the end, you will hold the last-added child
until you use
up(), a getter for the parent.
first invokes
tree() to retrieve the uppermost parent, the XMPP
stanza, before sending it out the wire.
Browser Support
node-xmpp now comes with a prebuilt browser bundle:
Rather than send empty packets in order to keep any socket alive please try the following:
this.client.connection.socket.setKeepAlive(true, 10000)
this.client is the result of
new require('node-xmpp').Client().
Development Roadmap
For the next releases, we will focus on stability and security of
node-xmpp. Pull requests are welcome to position
node-xmpp as the best, most secure and most stable xmpp library for nodejs.
- manifesto: support the STARTTLS method in XMPP as specified in RFC 6120, including mandatory-to-implement cipher suites and certificate validation consistent with RFC 6125
- manifesto: prefer the latest version of TLS (TLS 1.2) #192
- manifesto: disable support for the older and less secure SSL standard (SSLv2 and SSLv3)
- manifesto: provide configuration options to require channel encryption for client-to-server and server-to-server connections
- manifesto: provide configuration options to prefer or require cipher suites that enable forward secrecy
- Events harmonization
- Common pause/resume/... for any Client/Component/Server session
- Smoothen reconnect
- Properly disconnect on stream errors, not on connection errors
- more tests to verify against RFC3920
- Lookup BOSH URLs in DNS TXT records
- Move connecting to connection, use WS/BOSH as TCP fallback
- Ensure tls end/close/drain events
- Possible may to use
stropheplugins with
node-xmpp, see dodo/Lightstream
- more tests to verify against RFC3921
- more demo apps to spead the usage
- develop high-level client-api as seperate project to use json as input and output, see inspiration xmpp-ftw/xmpp-ftw
- work on early DNSSEC implementation, see XMPP-DNA and DNSSEC
- simple Websockets server (at least for testing the client)
- Tests for S2S connections
- maifesto: prefer authenticated encryption
- harmonize c2s, bosh and websocket server components
(Builing up documentation slowly)
C2S Client to Server
var client = new xmpp.Client({
jid: 'firstname.lastname@example.com',
password: 'password'
client.on('connection', function() {
client.on('stanza', function(stanza) {
console.log('Incoming stanza: ', stanza.toString())

Driving the SOA dream
If you're looking for the enterprise IT buzz phrase of 2006, look no further than service oriented architecture (SOA). Industry heavyweights are queuing up to heap praise on SOA as they move through the gears and get their enterprise sales teams up to full speed. The only cloud on the SOA horizon — and it is one that is rarely mentioned by vendors — is that the business benefits of SOA only really kick in when organisations have completely embraced the concept.
|~||~||~|If you're looking for the enterprise IT buzz phrase of 2006, look no further than service oriented architecture (SOA). Industry heavyweights are queuing up to heap praise on SOA as they move through the gears and get their enterprise sales teams up to full speed. The only cloud on the SOA horizon — and it is one that is rarely mentioned by vendors — is that the business benefits of SOA only really kick in when organisations have completely embraced the concept. What this means in layman's terms is that organisations starting off down the SOA path are being told that the business benefits will increase as more and more of their IT infrastructure — including application services — are developed within an architecture that supports the overriding goals of SOA. That can be a difficult message for CIOs to deliver internally when the pressure is on to deliver almost immediate business benefits from any incremental IT investments. Analysts at Aberdeen Group now reckon that world's largest companies could save a staggering US$53 billion in IT spending over the next five years by implementing SOA. William Mougayar, an analyst at the research house, claims that the business benefits of SOA remain largely untapped with only 16% of companies having more than two years of SOA experience. "Companies cannot expect business benefits from SOA before the IT department has been able to assimilate what SOA can do for them," says Mougayar, VP and Service Director for Aberdeen Group's CIO's strategic agenda practice. "The number one cascading effect of SOA's benefits for IT is the development of new products and capabilities, but this is only possible after full-lifecycle SOA implementations." "This is a golden opportunity for CIOs to focus on the end result of SOA business benefits rather than become enamoured by the technology itself," he adds. "A compelling business context is much easier to sell once a well-defined SOA implementation is fully delivered." For the limited number of companies that have experience in the full cycle of SOA implementations, Aberdeen Group reckons that the benefits can be quantified into three major categories: speed of deployment, easier integration as well as faster customisation and updates. It sounds good but there's no escaping the fact that these benefits only start to really materialise after a period of sustained investment in SOA from large enterprises. How do you explain this to the board and the people holding the purse strings? It's like driving a Toyota Corolla and then deciding to replace every single part with Ferrari parts one-by-one over a period of months or even years. During the process the car will look pretty stupid and it is only when every single part has been replaced that you can actually claim that you are driving a Ferrari. Before you even start on this process, you have to be supremely confident that long-term you want to be driving a Ferrari — and also convinced that nothing better will come along in the meantime. The major IT vendors know the challenge that faces them in terms of convincing end users with a perfectly adequate IT infrastructure (a Toyota Corolla if you will) to make the investment that will change it into a supercharged SOA environment (a Ferrari) one step at a time. Have no doubt there are clear long-term business benefits to be had from SOA, but that may not be enough to convince those organisations looking for a much quicker return on investment. Vendors and IT services providers need to make a justifiable case for every single part of the upgrade process that transforms the IT system into a genuine SOA. Let's not forget that SOA is not as new as many vendors would have us believe. The idea of a software architecture, which defines service use to the requirements of application users, has been around in various guises for some time. You don't have to cast your mind back too far to remember the hype generated by web services (which remain an integral part of the SOA vision). The whole idea behind SOA revolves around interoperable application services. Loosely coupled together these services can interoperate independent of the platform and programming language that they are built on. Now that sounds like a pretty compelling offering that effectively makes some software components reusable. However, it needs to be articulated in a way that makes sense to each individual client. That means drilling down to the specific business benefits each organisation will receive as opposed to selling an airy-fairy vision When vendors and service providers are pitching hard on the benefits of SOA, you can't blame CIOs and IT managers for being on their guard (and a little bit wary). It is short-term benefits that sell solutions and it is the ability of vendors to communicate these within the context of a long-term vision and IT architecture roadmap that is the hallmark of a sophisticated sales approach. For Middle East CIOs and IT managers wading through a mountain of SOA-based marketing material from vendors and service providers, the message is simple: make sure you look before you leap. ||**||

Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper's administration faces its toughest political test yet this week in a police shooting case, says the Denver Post. A top mayoral aide will decide the punishment of a police officer who killed a knife-wielding, developmentally disabled African-American teenager. The Post says the case has roiled relations between the African-American community and the police department, between the mayor's office and the City Council, between city attorneys and civil-rights activists.
Hickenlooper and Manager of Safety Al LaCabe are being squeezed from all sides. The case could trigger multimillion-dollar lawsuits against the city. The city's first non-Hispanic white mayor in two decades could lose support from black voters. Black leaders have threatened "nonviolent civil disobedience" if the punishment isn't tough enough. Police officers may call in sick with the "blue flu" to protest a stiffer penalty.
Police Chief Gerry Whitman has recommended a 20-day suspension for officer James Turney, who shot and killed 15-year-old Paul Childs at the boy's home last July, less than a month before Hickenlooper took office.

As scheduled, LG has officially revealed their all new LG V10 smartphone with unique 'second screen' and dual front cameras. This is the all new 'V' series from the company. LG hasn't revealed the pricing for this phone yet but they said it will hit the market this month itself in Korea followed by United States, China and key countries in Asia, Latin America and Middle East. LG V10 will be available in five different color options including Modern Beige, Ocean Blue, Opal Blue, Luxe White and Space Black.
Display and Design:
The new LG V10 features a huge 5.7 inch Quad HD In-cell Touch Quantum display offering 2560 × 1440 pixels resolution with 513 PP pixel density offering clearer, sharper and vibrant output. It is capable enough to provide you best multimedia, reading or gaming experience. There is also a 2.1 inch second display about which we will talk below.
Coming to the design, LG has worked really hard to make the phone powerful not only from inside, but also outside. It is protected with resilient Dura Guard that protects the device from hard bumps, tumbles as well as scratches. They have also used SAE grade 316L stainless steel to frame the sides of V10 making it strong enough. This is the same steel which is even used to make surgical tools. Apart from this, the new rear grid pattern provides a better grip making it fit nicely in hands.
Always-on Second Screen:
This is something new for LG Smartphones. With V10, LG has brought us a 2.1 inch IPS Quantum Display that offers 160 x 1040 pixels resolution at 513ppi pixel density. This second screen is placed just above the main 5.7 inch screen and next to the dual front camera (we will talk about this dual thing below).
Known as "Always on Second screen" it works without impacting the battery life at all. To increase the productivity, no matter if the screen/phone is locked, you will be updated with all notifications including Weather, date and time, battery icon etc. This is when the main display is locked/off. And while the main display is On, you can set this second screen to show up your preferred apps shortcuts as quick launcher.
Furthermore, the second screen also works without disturbing you when you are using your phone for any important work. For example, you will see all your calls or messages in this second screen while you are playing Games or watching Movies on the main display. If you find the calls or messages important, simply tap on it to respond, or ignore and enjoy your game/movie.
Although this sounds new coz of its nicely placement area but we have seen similar thing in Samsung Galaxy Edge screens.

|Image: We Heart It.
So far in my countdown to 2015 we have had my Nail, Makeup and Hair favourites and today is my favourite bloggers of 2014. It was really hard to narrow it down to 5 bloggers as I read so many blogs but here are my top picks...
Couture Girl - I featured Kayleigh's blog in my 2013 favourites as I have been a loyal reader of her blog for a number of years. I started reading Kayleigh's blog from when she only had a handful of readers and it is great to see how much her blog has grown over the years. Now she has a whopping 15,000 Bloglovin' followers and counting. Her content is spot on and she never writes a bad blog post. Kayleigh, you should be proud <3.
In the Frow - I've only recently started reading Victoria's blog and I can't believe I have never come across her blog before. Her content is fab, she has a perfect fashion sense AND THAT HAIR!! I have major hair envy.
Love & Liquor - I have been reading Laura's blog since she first started out last year and advertised on my blog. In 2014 her blog has grown so much and I love her beauty reviews as she goes into lots of detail and doesn't just give a half-arsed review! Her OOTD posts are also a favourite too.
Beauty and the Chic - I think I first came across Claudia's blog after following her on Instagram. Her photography puts mine to shame and I love her disappointing products blog posts.
Lydia Elise Millen - I have been following Lydia's Blog for a number of years now and also follow her on Twitter and Instagram. Not only does she have a body to die for and an amazing fashion sense, she is also really down to earth and when I needed some fitness advice, she was more than happy to help me out.
What are your favourite blogs from 2014?

It could have been worse. They were predicting up to 20 cm but some of it fell as rain. Many are disgruntled, but warmer weather is predicted so this will melt fairly quickly. But in the meantime, it's back to boots. Great pools of slush are accumulating.

Healthe Trim diet pill review
"Get high school skinny" is the main tagline of Healthe Trim diet pills (aka Healthy Trim).
Manufacturers HealthyLife Sciences claim that their product has been clinically proven and that it is all-natural.
Just like with many other diet pills we have seen, Healthe Trim pill just looks too good to be true.
Healthe Trim ingredients
If we are to believe the official website, inside Healthe Trim there are following ingredients: Hoodia Gordonii, Green Tea leaf extract, Resveratrol, Caralluma Fimbriata, Coix Seed, Poria Cocos, Cassia Seed, Lotus Leaf, Water Plantain, Cumquat, Methionine, Mulberry Leaf, Gymnema Sylvestre, Eleutherococus Senticosus, Pyruvate, Trace Minerals.
There are some good ingredients here, and we were particularly interested in Hoodia Gordonii. However we were not able to find any mention of Hoodia Gordonii certification (CITES). All supplements that contain real Hoodia Gordonii in them have CITES certificate that proves the existence of Hoodia Gordonii in pills. Obviously this is not the case with Healthe Trim.
Beware of free trials!
Just in case you don't read Terms & Conditions on their website (who ever reads that?), we did the hard work for you. Here's what they say about their 14-day trial period:
"Consumers who purchase Healthe'Trim will automatically be enrolled in a 14-Day free trial. As a subscriber, consumers will receive coupons and special offers for discounts on HealthyLife Sciences products. After the 14-Day free trial, consumers will be charged $79.95 for Healthe'Trim on the same credit card used for the previous purchase. Subscribers will continue to be billed monthly at the discounted rate of $54.95. The charge will show up on credit card statements with the name HealthyLife Sciences, LLC."
So basically it's just another free trial program. They don't tell you upfront what they really want to do; rather they hide that in their TOS hoping that no one will read it.
Is Healthe Trim scam?
Most probably is. We have seen too many diet pills that try to pull you in their "free trial" program only to find out later that you were put on the auto ship list.
Is Healthe Slim recommended?
Not recommended at all. There are far better and more respectable diet pills out there. You are advised to look for better alternative.
Healthe Trim alternative
Proactol Plus is one of the most respectable diet pills in our opinion. This fat binder is able to bind up to 28% of your fat intake and stop it from being absorbed by your body. This way people who regularly eat high fat meals can continue eating those meals and still lose some weight.

Newton And Lynnville-Sully School Districts Pleased With Latest ACT Test Scores

During my mom and baby group, I learned about this awesome tool: The Nose Frida.
I hated the blue bulb that is traditionally used. More so, Trinity hates it too. So, I picked up the Nose Frida.
It allows moms to suck the snot out of the babies nose…literally. Yes, I know it sounds totally gross, but I promise that no snot gets in your mouth. There's a long tube and a filter that prevents any boogers from coming up, but it does allow you to suck those boogies out nice and quick and to get them all out. It's so quick, Trinity doesn't even have time to complain
If you're here in Tucson, you can pick one up from Switzer Family Chiropractic or Whole Foods

Big Waves
A little further down the coast at the Wedge in Newport Beach, you may catch a glimpse of 25-foot waves! We're talking about BIG waves. Big waves from tropical storms and hot weather means summer is not quite through. So don't worry, I didn't not wear this leather jacket for long, but I wanted to make the look work for fall. For now I'll wear this sporty look without the leather. Once fall hits, I'll throw on this go-to jacket to keep warm.

Like this: http://youtube.com/watch?v=hgJVGZSmAcU So, I just wanted to know if the Original Brawl discs make as much noise or is it only a bit louder than a orginal. Usually my backups do make abit more sound than originals, but this time its really loud and consistent. Also is there anyway to prevent this? I'm not that worried, just curious.

Thanks, Shawn.ReplyDelete
To get audiobook or PDF versions of my book please visit YellowBalloonPublications.com. Amazon doesn't carry them; Amazon only carries Kindle and two soft cover versions--one with full color images inside, the other with black and white images inside. The PDF and Kindle versions are also full-color inside. The audio version has more than fifteen minutes of voicemail messages from the Kelleys and other Hollywood notables.... If you buy any version from my website, you'll get the least expensive versions of the soft cover versions, so please keep that in mind!Replies
Thank you, Kristine. And thank you so much for the wonderful interview.Delete
I really loved this detailed interview. Kris has a sincerity and devotion in her voice. For any fan of Star Trek they will gain an immense appreciation of DeForest Kelley as a human being and talented actor.ReplyDelete
