Looks like he was not quick enough this time. :'(
Says his death is under investigation in Bangkok. . .
Guess that kung fu didn't work out so well for him there eh? :spooked:
dead?....
Grasshopper, your kung fu is weak!
A preliminary police investigation has found that he had hanged himself with a cord . . .
And here I was thinking somebody put the whoop-cha on his ass. :biggrin:

Sure strikes me as strange, but AEA typically does.
Why would a 72 year old man risk crossing over pre-maturely when he's so close to his natural crossing point? Beyond my means to explain, but stranger things happen every day!
Sure strikes me as dangerous. Even if you have a partner that you trust enough to pull you back from the abyss at the right time, it's still strikes me as dangerous.

'Everybody Hates Chris' Actor Johnny Palermo Dead at 27
(http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,525816,00.html)...
Palermo, 27, and girlfriend Alessandra Giangrande, who was driving at the time, were both killed in an early morning crash in North Hollywood. Giangrande's brother, also a passenger, survived the crash, but suffered serious injuries.
The young television actor had a short but substantial career, appearing in such hit shows as "Everybody Hates Chris," "How I Met Your Mother," "CSI: Miami," and the Nickelodeon series "Just for Kicks."
The cause of the crash has yet to be determined.
Dead!
And so continues the "dead report."

LOS ANGELES - Farrah Fawcett, who is struggling to overcome cancer, is in the hospital and not doing well, a source close to the actress has confirmed to Access Hollywood.
Although her condition is deteriorating, it is likely Fawcett will leave the hospital Monday, the source added.
In addition, Fawcett's longtime companion, Ryan O'Neal, is working to get the couple's 24-year-old son, Redmond O'Neal, out of a Los Angeles jail so he can visit his ailing mother for what may be one final time.
The news of Fawcett's condition comes on the heels of Ryan O'Neal's revelation that he plans to marry Fawcett.
The 68-year-old actor says in an interview with Barbara Walters for ABC's "20/20" that he asked his longtime companion to marry him and "she's agreed." O'Neal says they will tie the knot "as soon as she can say yes."
Walters' interview with O'Neal airs Friday.
Fawcett was diagnosed in 2006 with anal cancer that has spread to her liver.
O'Neal says the 62-year-old actress is "fighting for her life," but despite her declining health, they will "absolutely" get married.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31489019/ns/entertainment-celebrities/
Farrah is getting close.
I can't help but believe there's an angle in this for RO somewhere. He's kind of dropped off the map since his little stint with the "Bones" TV series. . . I've never held a lot of trust in this guy. He always struck me as a bit of a weasel. . .
He'll be boo-fuggen-hooing it for the cameras when she starts the long dirt nap, but I'm betting the tears are glycerin. . . I mean, come on he's been her companion for how long and they never got hitched. . . Why?
I know a lot of people lose faith or value in the whole marriage thing after some bad experiences, but somehow I don't see that being his "thing". . . He's working some kind of scheme I'm telling yah. . .
I don't know what his motives may be, but I did ask that same question when I read the article. They've been together for YEARS and have never gotten married. So why now? Could be some sort of deathbed request she made or conversation they had.
well if he has been suffering from committment-phobia, saying til death do us part at this point ain't such a leap of faith.
That be true. :biggrin:
Typical commitment phobe! :rolleyes:
Ed McMahon! DEAD!
LOL! Ed had a few too many drinks:
RIP Ed! You and Johnny made us laugh.
Other than the fact that Johnny Carson is also dead, this is a bit off topic. However, when looking at the above video, this one also came up. This is a clip of Johnny Carson and Bette Midler falling into an impromptu duet. This clip is well worth less than two minutes of your time. Johnny made the Tonight Show, and it hasn't been the same without him.
He should be cremated. And they should put his ashes in a mayonnaise jar and leave it on Funk & Wagnall's porch.
(Hermetically sealed, of course)

I just read that the condition was unknown. :confused: :rolleyes:
MSNBC and CNN are both reporting cardiac arrest.
LOS ANGELES -- Pop star Michael Jackson has been taken to UCLA Medical Center by ambulance suffering from cardiac arrest, fire officials confirm.
Los Angeles Fire Department Captain Steve Ruda said paramedics responded to a 911 call at Jackson's home around 12:26 p.m. He was not breathing when they arrived. The paramedics performed CPR and took him to UCLA Medical Center, Ruda says.

I heard he's dead on a Chicago radio station. CNN is saying the same, but report is unconfirmed.

Too many little boys in that guys history for there not to be validity to some of the claims. . . I watched him and listened to their music as a kid. Once the molestation allegations became repetitive, I stopped. . . And am not sorry.
Meanwhile, back at Charlie's place; RO aka DB is furious that Jacko decided to die the same day as his meal tick. . . umm. . . long time companion. . . CNN is running a half page picture and article on the home page and Farrah is relegated to "also on this date" status before she is even cool. . . So much for his publicity increase. . .
Oh I figured the DB would probably be pissed that his grieving spotlight is being over shadowed now. Too bad asshole! :biggrin:

Child of the late 60's. He was singing for a LONG time.
From Bill Clinton's first inaugural gala, Michael sings a very appropriate "Gone Too Soon."
His musical legacy will survive despite his personal problems. Standing O from the crowd on this one.

Oh good grief.....now there is an unconfirmed report that Jeff Goldblum has died in New Zealand. Everybody wants to get on the band wagon!! LOL
It has not yet been confirmed but New Zealand Police are reporting that Jeff Goldblum has fallen to his death on the set of his new movie. Officials say the actor fell more than 60 feet to his death on the Kauri Cliffs while on-set.
The 57 year-old Goldblum starred in films such as The Fly and Jurassic Park. He is currently a cast member of the TV series Law & Order: Criminal Intent.
http://screencrave.com/2009-06-25/report-jeff-goldblum-has-died/
A story circulating that actor Jeff Goldblum has died falling off a cliff at Kauri Cliffs golf course in Northland is a hoax.
Australian media including Channel 9 have been reporting the story.
New Zealand police communication officer John Neilson says the same story was going around a couple of months ago. He says it is not correct.

Yeah...Farrah died too, and apparently hoax reports of Jeff Goldblum and Harrison Ford both dying are circulating. Uhm....a child reported missing by the babysitter was found dead, and unofficially it's been reported the babysitter and her boyfriend are held on suspicion of foul play.

Re: Michael Jackson's death. I heard something interesting this morning.....a reporter has gone to Gary Indiana to gauge the temp of grief over Jackson's death. He said that there is a theater that still announces the Jackson Five appearing there. I got curious and decided to look to see if I could find a picture of the place......sure enough.
(http://www.forbidden-places.net/explos/53/5/images/photo01.jpg)
Obviously the place has been out of business for quite some time. Is this a city that hasn't forgotten the Jacksons? Or a city that just forgot to change the sign? LOL
The cops are looking for Jackson's doctor and cannot locate him. His car was impounded at Jackson's place yesterday and towed. The media is making it sound suspiciously like a similar situation as that which was happening when Anna Nichole Smith checked out; the doctor is prescribing a cornucopia of meds and they may have caused Jacko to check out. . .

Exactly! First of all, if your child had been molested by someone, would you have taken a monetary payout? Heck no! Those people were looking for a meal ticket. Second of all, if he wanted to, he could have pulled an Angelina or Madonna and just bought children from other countries. He didn't. He DID however send aid to children all over the world. You don't have to like his music, but you really don't need to call him rubbish because you didn't understand him or are a bigot. Your choice as to the reason!

even though I was not a big MJ fan....I do NOT think he was a bad guy. I think he made some bad choices, by allowing kids to be with him, without other adults around. He put himself in a bad situation, that could NOT be defended. I think he did many good things, and was, at one time a great entertainer.
Farrah Fawcett arrived in heaven and God granted her a wish. After considerable thought Farrah had decided what it is she wanted. God, please make all of the children in the world safe, was her request.
So God killed Michael Jackson.

I predict McNairs death is a result of murder-suicide. He had multiple gunshot wounds, whereas the woman that he was found dead with, had one gunshot wound to the head and the gun was found near her.

Yep, that was my prediction. Rumors are flying though. One guy says she was breaking off the relationship, someone else says he was going to leave his wife, and be with her. I'm thinking....he liked it just the way it was. Probably a mistake on his part to possibly think that way.
I have a hard time finding sympathy for a man who cheats on his wife, and something like this happens...he put himself in this situation, and his family are the ones who are being hurt the most....what a selfish way to leave your family.... :no:

This would have had to have been premeditated if that was the case, and a some other things might have been different in the setting that has already been described. I'm betting McNair may have told her that he wasn't leaving his wife.

I'm not "betting" on anything such as this, personally.
A jealous bf of the girl would direct the lions share of his "passion" toward her new bf, thus giving him a double tap to the head and chest. He probably just wanted to put her down and out of his life as punishment for betrayal, or could have killed her to purposely divert police and make them assume a murder/suicide.
Anything is possible at this point though. I am sure th
e investigators are very busy eliminating suspects for each scenario.
EDIT: I'd like to buy a vowel; an "e".
Well, I don't know about you. But I think my sister is just biased. She knew him to talk with when he was out in public, and was impressed that he was the kind of guy that remembered tidbits about people, in this case, the names of her sons. When she first heard about the death, she was blown away. Saying she couldn't imagine why ANYONE would want him dead. He was just the nicest guy. We discussed possiblities, one of which was maybe gambling debts. My mind was changed of course when it was announced he was found dead with a woman. It may look too pat, but it's common. You speak of '20 year olds'. I think of how easy it would be for the girl to have been young and stupid enough to believe that someone, a rich celebrity, would be ready to leave his wife and family after only a couple of months of dating. And unstable enough to not accept that it wasn't going to happen. "If I can't have you, and all you can do for me...then no one will, oh, and by the way, life ain't worth living without you in it."
Sure, anything is possible. But when you are talking "young" my instincts say never rule out the testosterone factor. . . Let it rule itself out.

The infamous orchestrator of the Nam. . .
Too bad we didn't learn anything from his reflections on the subject. One could easily replace South Vitenam with Iraq in his observations:
We misjudged then -- and we have since -- the geopolitical intentions of our adversaries . . . and we exaggerated the dangers to the United States of their actions.
We viewed the people and leaders of South Vietnam in terms of our own experience. . . . We totally misjudged the political forces within the country.
We underestimated the power of nationalism to motivate a people to fight and die for their beliefs and values.
Our judgments of friend and foe alike reflected our profound ignorance of the history, culture, and politics of the people in the area, and the personalities and habits of their leaders.
We failed then -- and have since -- to recognize the limitations of modern, high-technology military equipment, forces and doctrine. . . . We failed as well to adapt our military tactics to the task of winning the hearts and minds of people from a totally different culture.
We failed to draw Congress and the American people into a full and frank discussion and debate of the pros and cons of a large-scale military involvement . . . before we initiated the action.
After the action got under way and unanticipated events forced us off our planned course . . . we did not fully explain what was happening and why we were doing what we did.
We did not recognize that neither our people nor our leaders are omniscient. Our judgment of what is in another people's or country's best interest should be put to the test of open discussion in international forums. We do not have the God-given right to shape every nation in our image or as we choose.
We did not hold to the principle that U.S. military action . . . should be carried out only in conjunction with multinational forces supported fully (and not merely cosmetically) by the international community.
We failed to recognize that in international affairs, as in other aspects of life, there may be problems for which there are no immediate solutions. . . . At times, we may have to live with an imperfect, untidy world.
Underlying many of these errors lay our failure to organize the top echelons of the executive branch to deal effectively with the extraordinarily complex range of political and military issues."

I'm with Ex. Let's have some names of countries, and numbers of troops they have deployed.
Shortly before the Iraq war began, the US government announced that 49 countries were joined in a "coalition of the willing" in favor of forcibly removing Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq, with some number of other countries expressing their support in private. The 49 countries named by the White House were Afghanistan, Albania, Angola, Australia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Colombia, Costa Rica, Czech Republic, Denmark, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Eritrea, Estonia, Ethiopia, Georgia, Honduras, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Israel, Japan, Kuwait, Latvia, Lithuania, Republic of Macedonia, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Mongolia, Netherlands, Nicaragua, Palau, Panama, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Rwanda, Singapore, Slovakia, South Korea, Spain, Tonga, Turkey, Uganda, Ukraine, United Kingdom, United States, and Uzbekistan. Of these, the following countries had an active or participant role, by providing either significant troops or political support: Australia, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Turkey, Ukraine, United Kingdom and (United States).
Four of these countries supplied combat forces directly participating in the invasion of Iraq: the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, and Poland. Other countries have provided logistical and intelligence support, chemical and biological response teams, overflight rights, humanitarian and reconstruction aid, and political support.
In late January 2003, a statement released to various newspapers and signed by the leaders of Britain, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Hungary, Poland, Denmark and the Czech Republic showed support for the US, saying that Saddam should not be allowed to violate U.N. resolutions. The statement went on to say that Saddam was a "clear threat to world security", and urged Europe to unite with the United States to ensure that the Iraqi regime is disarmed.
The United Kingdom has sent 45,000 personnel from the British Army, Royal Navy, and Royal Air Force, including the aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal to the Gulf region. The ground component included 100 Challenger tanks. The First Armoured Division's 7th Armoured Brigade and 4th Armoured Brigade took part in the war.
surely theres more to your info Henry....you only gave us one other country who sent troops...
Quote from: Gryphon on July 07, 2009, 09:59:40 AM

My statement was...that we DID/DO have multinational forces support.....and I proved it.
Now, you want to see how many had troops that were deployed....and I showed that some of them did....not all countries have troops TOO deploy, but they SUPPORTED the cause....and did so by other means.
I thought perhaps your copy paste cut some off Hank. I dont see that "some" did, I see that ONE did.

If that counts as help and support, other than the UK, then Im gonna send you a nickel every month and claim you as a dependant, mmmkay? Any fool who has read the news knows that we had the all talk-no action backing of a lot of people. Only a Kool Aid drinker like yourself would take someone who sent as few as TWELVE troops as a show of some meaningful kind of support.
We could get more troops than that to show up for the opening of a friggin envelope.

I think that it is just GREAT of you to belittle those countries, who offered what they could...they knew of the possible threat that Saddam had....Just because we did NOT have the backing of france, russia and germany...and we ALL know they had political and financial risks involved to have the BALLS to stand up against this man....you are being pompous and a jerk in my opinion...simply because of your attitude, that many people (and I say many) did not agree with you on this...let me remind you of our very own CONGRESS was in favor, along with the 50 other countries that WANTED action to be taken......SCREW FRANCE, RUSSIA AND GERMANY....
other than those three countries....WHAT other country would YOU have liked to be included as the great military powers that was SO important to have our backs?...can you name them for me?
Im not belittling them Henry, Im belittling anyone who wants to pretend that we have had all this wonderful support world wide, when its clear from the numbers that we were pretty much on our own in any real sense. Screw France, Russia, and Germany? Why? They would have been three really good allies to have had in this battle.
by the way, looks like most of our "support" got the hell out years ago.
And Im known the world over for being a pompous jerk, its part of my charm. :wink: (look slightly over me today Henry, its been a helluva day)

Of course france russian and germany would have been great allies, but they had their own political reasons for not supporting, not because they knew better or was nicer people living there.....I think we should ALWAYS try to drum up all the support we can before we EVER do such a thing, but IF they choose not too, it should NOT mean that we should jepordize our own integrity to make them happy.....sometimes we got to do what is best for OUR country and it's people.....

Do those of you still claiming that we had all of this 'support' not understand the words fully or cosmetically? A nod from some country no one ever heard of does not constitute support by the international community.

no threat to them.

NO WAY! If celebrity animals go in threes then I think the AFLAC duck is next.
How about the Geico Gecko? He could bite the dust too! :biggrin:
The duck can go...he's annoying as all get out....but the gecko....he's got a sexy voice. :wink:
Not gecko I like him he needs to stay around. As for the duck.....
I think he will be around for awhile....considering he is computer generated. In real life, the gecko that he closely resembles, the Giant Day, can survive 11 to 13 years in captivity if properly cared for. The Geico gecko has been around since 1999, so we are looking at around another 1 to 3 years, and if they feed him really well while in that computer, maybe another 30 or 40 years LOL

Corazon Aquino DEAD!
Former president of the Phillipines.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corazon_Aquino
Here's some validation for my perspective on Ryan O'neal from his own son, Griffin:
In an emotionally explosive interview with CNN's Larry King that aired Monday night, Griffin O'Neal claimed that:
• His father attempted to shoot him and injured Griffin's wife and him with a fireplace poker.
• Ryan was habitually unfaithful to his partner Farrah Fawcett, who died of cancer June 25.
• Ryan partied with Griffin's half-brother, Redmond, and said his father was responsible for Redmond's drug problems.
• Ryan didn't recognize his own daughter, Tatum, at Farrah's funeral and asked her for a drink.

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,
Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff,

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee.
Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff's gigantic tail,
Noble kings and princes would bow whene'er they came,
Pirate ships would lower their flag when Puff roared out his name. Oh!
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee.
A dragon lives forever but not so little boys
Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys.
One grey night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar.
His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain,
Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane.
Without his life-long friend, Puff could not be brave,
So Puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave. Oh!
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee.

QuoteNY Times. . .
RIO DE JANEIRO — Just over two weeks ago, this striking city landed the 2016 Olympic Games, the first ever in South America, setting off a sweaty, impromptu beach party that lasted most of the weekend. President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva of Brazil sobbed with happiness. Rio's residents glowed with pride.
Residents of a Rio neighborhood found the body of a man in a cart on Tuesday. They said the man was killed by a rival gang.
Then over the weekend, in a chilling outburst of violence, drug traffickers wielding what the police say they believe was a large-caliber weapon shot down a police helicopter just one mile from Maracana stadium, where the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympics will be held and the World Cup final will be played two years before the Olympics.
Suddenly, the celebration has been overwhelmed by hand-wringing that Rio's chronic drug violence, its Achilles' heel, is being laid bare before the world, and at a particularly inopportune time. Brazilian leaders are touring the world, searching for the investors needed to pay for the billions of dollars in infrastructure required for the events.
The images of the downed police helicopter "really shocked Brazilians, and now everyone is worried about what will happen with the Games," said Nadine Matos, 21, who works at a hair salon a block from Copacabana Beach. "We need to tell the world where we stand so that people outside Brazil understand what measures we are taking and are not so worried when planning to come down here." . . .

Actually, it was the City of Faith Medical Center. I visited the now defunct property when I was in Tulsa last year.
(https://rhysfunk.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/dc4a1-img_0823.jpg)
:rolleyes:
In 1977, Roberts said he had a vision of a 900-foot-tall Jesus, who told him to found the City of Faith Medical and Research Center. The biography said the center was aimed at "merging the healing power of medicine and prayer."
In 1986, Roberts announced that God would "call him home" unless he raised $8 million to send medical missionaries from the center -- an announcement that was widely publicized. He wound up raising $9.1 million, but the center closed in 1989. However, the biography said, it left "a lasting impact on the understanding by many medical professionals of the importance of treating the whole person -- body, mind and spirit."
Looks like the 900 foot tall Jeebus told ole' Oral a lie as that medical center he was told to build went completely bankrupt in short order. :rotfl:
I am sorry to hear of his demise but that sure doesn't change my idea of what kind of person he was while alive. I will have to say one thing good he did for my mom was to make her realize she was just pissing money away by sending to the television evangelists. She never sent another dime to any of them after his little fund raising deal.

But even Elmer never claimed to have raised the dead.

http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,964970,00.html
The controversy produced by those episodes, however, has been overshadowed by Roberts' latest extraordinary claim: God has used him to raise the dead. Before an audience of 6,000 at Oral Roberts University, the evangelist said, "I've had to stop a sermon, go back and raise a dead person," adding good-naturedly, "It did improve my altar call that night." Roberts provided no details. Later his son Richard, 38, expanded the revivification claim, asserting that in 50 or 60 cases Oral and other ministers had raised the dead.
For some reason even as a kid I viewed that tent stuff as fake and never really paid any attention to it.

Rush Limbaugh? Could it possibly come true?
HONOLULU — Conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh was taken to a hospital with chest pains on Wednesday, a Honolulu television station reported.
Paramedics responded to a call at 2:41 p.m. from the Kahala Hotel and Resort where Limbaugh is vacationing, KITV reported. The station, citing unnamed sources, said the 58-year-old Limbaugh was taken to The Queens Medical Center in serious condition.
Queens spokeswoman N. Makana Shook says the hospital is unable to comment on the report.
Emergency Medical Services spokesman Bryan Cheplic said paramedics took a male of unknown age to an area hospital from the Kahala Hotel and Resort. He said he had no further information.
Limbaugh was seen golfing at Waialae Country Club earlier this week, KITV said. The country club is next to the Kahala hotel.
For privacy reasons, hotel spokeswoman Sheila Donnelly Theroux said she was unable to acknowledge that Limbaugh is a guest.
In 2001, Limbaugh reported he had lost most of his hearing due to an autoimmune inner-ear disease. He had surgery to have an electronic device placed in his skull to restore his hearing.
Two years later Limbaugh acknowledged he was addicted to pain medicine. He blamed the addiction on severe back pain, and took a five-week leave from his radio show to enter rehab.

Interestingly enough, I saw in that article where he launched Taco Bell in Downey California (suburb of Los Angeles) in 1962. Coincidentally, Downey is also the location of the oldest free-standing McDonald's restaurant in the U.S. I had lunch at that McDonald's last time I was in Los Angeles.

Thank the US for giving him the weapons and delivery systems. There should be some US officials and corporate assholes hanging beside him.
http://rickwrites.blogspot.com/2008/03/ali-hassan-al-majid-aka-chemical-ali.html (http://rickwrites.blogspot.com/2008/03/ali-hassan-al-majid-aka-chemical-ali.html)
The US not only helped arm Iraq with military equipment right up to the time of the Kuwait invasion in 1989, as did Germany, Britain, France, Russia and others, but also sold and helped Iraq to integrate chemical weapons into their US-provided battle plans while fighting Iran between 1985-1988.
(snip)
... while making his case against Saddam, President Bush said "He's used poison gas on his own people." Bush deceives because he hides the fact that US officials, including his father, had no qualms about helping Saddam gas Iranians.
(snip)
US policy makers, financiers, arms-suppliers and makers, made massive profits from sales to Iraq of myriad chemical, biological, conventional weapons, and the equipment to make nuclear weapons.
(snip)
A PBS Frontline episode, "The Arming of Iraq" (1990) detailed much of the conventional and so-called "dual-use" weapons sold to Iraq. The public learned from other sources that at least since mid-1980s the US was selling chemical and biological material for weapons to Iraq and orchestrating private sales.
These sales began soon after current Secretary of State, Donald Rumsfeld traveled to Baghdad in 1985 and met with Saddam Hussein as a private businessman on behalf of the Reagan administration.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Zelda Rubinstein, the 4-foot-3-inch character actor best known as Tangina, the psychic who tries to calm a family inhabiting a haunted house in the 1982 horror film Poltergeist, has died. She was 76.
Her agent, Eric Stevens, tells the Los Angeles Times that Rubenstein died Wednesday at a Los Angeles hospital. Stevens says she recently suffered a heart attack.
Rubenstein made her film debut in the 1981 comedy Under the Rainbow and went on to roles in Sixteen Candles, Southland Tales and the TV show Picket Fences. She returned for both Poltergeist sequels. . .

Why, I've known some bananafish to swim into a banana hole and eat as many as seventy-eight bananas." He edged the float and its passenger a foot closer to the horizon. "Naturally, after that they're so fat they can't get out of the hole again. Can't fit through the door."

It just never ceases to amaze me when I stop to think about the number of successful and famous people that have lost their lives to booze, drugs, or suicide. Clearly money and success are nothing but a panacea for humanity, and are not enough to truly placate the human spirit.
My opinion, for what it is worth, is that the money and fame leads them to believe they have stepped above the problems of the hoi polloi. Eventually, they find that they are not as important or as bulletproof as they once thought. The fall is too much to bear.
then there are people who should never sober up...take Aerosmith for example...they sober up and all of their music turns to ballads. :puke:

Big Pharma, et al, have no incentive to cure anything. Its the drugs they can sell to promise a cure that keeps them going. In fact, I would suggest their motivation is to make and keep us sick so drug sales continue to climb. Doctors no longer practice medicine to cure anything, either. They only know what to do based on the last drug rep's visit, or their junket to play golf, paid for by big pharma.
Boy do I agree with you on that one.

Peter Graves and Jim Arness: Brothers on TV (http://showbiz411.blogs.thr.com/2010/03/15/peter-graves-and-jim-arness-brothers-on-tv/)
By: Roger Friedman (http://showbiz411.blogs.thr.com/author/rfriedman/) Monday March 15, 2010 Peter Graves died Sunday age 83. He was the gray haired, suave, deep voiced star of the "Mission: Impossible" TV series on CBS from 1967 to 1973. Graves was also the younger brother of James Arness, who was Marshall Dillon "Gunsmoke" on CBS from 1955 to 1975. They were probably the only siblings ever to star in simultaneous long running hits on any network. Arness, 87, is still alive. Graves has loads of credits besides "MI," but his long running role as Jim Phelps left an indelible impression. He took over as the show's lead after married actors Martin Landau and Barbara Bain bolted the series over a contract dispute. Graves stayed til the end and even starred in a reunion series in 1988. Nevertheless, he was never asked to do even a cameo in any of the three big screen adaptations of the series with Tom Cruise.
My favorite Peter Graves performance: as the stone faced but hilarious Captain Oveur in "Airplane!" and its sequel. His co-star was Lloyd Bridges, the late father of newly minted Oscar-winner Jeff Bridges. Whatever you do, don't call either of them Shirley.

Wasn't that issue what that lil' ol' disturbance awhile back in Matewan was all about?
Must be those compassionate mine owners are taking care of their employees now -- no need for strong unions.
(Oh, the dripping of sarcasm.)
What?
Where's the response from all the "get the government out of my life, we don't need regulation" crowd?
The mine only had 57 violations.
Even refused a ventilation system that was supposed to be mandated by law.
Those owners and operators are as guilty of murder as surely as if they held a gun to those miners' heads and pulled the trigger.
They should be criminally prosecuted.

Christopher Cazenove DEAD! (The angel of death seems to have a Dynasty fixation) :spooked:
QuoteCNN
Actor Christopher Cazenove died in a London hospital after a monthlong battle with a blood infection Wednesday, his family said.
Cazenove was best known for the role of Ben Carrington on TV's "Dynasty," although he appeared on hundreds of television shows over the past four decades.
His death came one week after that of John Forsythe, who played his nemesis on the 1980s prime-time soap opera.
Cazenove, a British-born actor, contracted septicemia in late February, said a statement from his partner, Isabel Davis, and family.
"Despite a valiant fight and the untiring efforts of the wonderful team at St Thomas', he was eventually overwhelmed," the statement said.
Before "Dynasty," Cazenove was well known in the United Kingdom for playing Charles Haslemere in the British series "The Duchess of Duke Street."
He was 66, according to the Internet Movie Database.

I am guessing, but haven't seen or heard it; I wonder how many good ol' right-wing whites are aghast that flags are flying at half staff over some unknown negro maid. Of course, the ones that would feel that way don't pay attention to the flag flying as they only pay attention to the one wrapped around their bible (or being ripped to shreds attached to their car). Again, haven't heard nor seen it, but anyone else get that impression from "folks" out there?

Ronnie James Dio (born Ronald James Padavona) has sadly passed away from his battle with stomach cancer. He was 67 years old. Dio made a name for himself when he fronted the Ritchie Blackmore led band Rainbow, who released their first album in 1975. After leaving Rainbow, Dio was asked to replace Ozzy Osbourne in Black Sabbath, to which he agreed. With Black Sabbath, he recorded two highly acclaimed studio albums in the form of "Heaven And Hell" and "The Mob Rules." After leaving Black Sabbath, he formed his own self-titled band and became one of the biggest draws in heavy metal during the 1980s.

It's a wonder he lived to 67, but he will be missed. . .

Quote
Yesterday we watched Bret Michaels make a triumphant TV comeback on Oprah . Today, we're sending good thoughts his way.
The rocker, who recovered from a near-fatal brain hemorrhage a month ago, is back in the hospital after suffering a "warning stroke," according to a statement posted on his website .
He was readmitted this week "after suffering numbness on the left side of his body, predominately his face and hands," the statement reads. After performing some tests, his doctors discovered a hole in the Poison star's heart.
Michaels, who taped his interview with Oprah Winfrey before this setback, is still expected to recover, but his participation in this Sunday's finale of Celebrity Apprentice is in doubt, as is his planned return to the concert circuit on May 28.

Former child star Gary Coleman has been hospitalized in critical condition, a hospital spokesperson tells CNN and "Showbiz Tonight."
Another one the reaper is stalking! :spooked:
He's got all sorts of problems it seems.
Several outlets are reporting that the former "Diff'rent Strokes" star is hospitalized in Utah and has undergone emergency surgery.
Details are sketchy. Coleman, 42, was reportedly transported to the hospital after, family members say, the actor suffered a head injury during a fall. Coleman's brother-in-law told TMZ that the actor was in critical condition.
Coleman is no stranger to a hospital room. He suffered seizures in January and February.
He also suffers from a congenital kidney disease and requires frequent dialysis.

Big John
Every mornning at the mine, you could see him arrive.
He stood 6 foot 6, weighed 245.
Kind of broad at the shoulders, narrow at the hip.
And everybody knew you didn't give no lip to Big John.
Big John
Big John
Big Bad John
Big John
Nobody seemed to know where John called home
He just drifted into town and stayed all alone.
He didn't say much, kind of quiet and shy
And if you spoke at all, you'd just said hi to Big John.
Somebody said he came from New Orleans,
Where he got into a fight over a Cajun Queen.
And a crash and a blow from a huge right hand,
sent a Lousiana fella to the promise land.
Big John
Big John
Big bad John
Big John
Then came the day at the bottom of the mine,
when a timber cracked and men started crying.
Minors were praying, and hearts beat fast
and everybody thought they had breathed thier last
cept' John.
Through the dust and the smoke of this man made hell,
walked a giant of a man that the minors knew well.
Grabbed a sagging timber and gave out with a groan,
and like a giant oak tree he just stood there alone, Big John
Big John
Big John
Big Bad John
Big John
And with all of his strength, he gave a mighty shove.
Then a minor yelled out, 'theres a light up above!'.
And 20 men scrambled from a 'would be' grave
now theres only one left down there to save, Big John.
With jacks and timbers, they started back down,
then came that rumble way down in the ground.
And as smoke and gas smelched out of that mine,
everybody knew it was the end of the line, for Big John.
Big John
Big John
Big Bad John
Big John
Now they never re-opend that wortheless pit,
they just placed a marble stand in front of it.
These few words are written on that stand,
'At the bottom of this mine, lies one Hell of a man, Big John'
Big John
Big John
Big Bad John
Big John.

I think it's amazing that he's 92 and still able (or was) to serve as a US Senator. I believe he's the oldest currently serving, but not the oldest to have served.

Even tho he was a Democrat, he was a fine example of Term Limitations. I watched him on C-Span talking in the Senate. This man should have gone from the Senate years ago.

Senator Robert Byrd, West Virgina. Dead at 92. He fought for his people in West Virgnia and America.
If only, Lugar for all of the year he been in office, would have brought back to Indiana just 10% of what Byrd brought to West Virgina.

Well, I am not a big Lugar fan, but Byrd was the first legislator to bring $1 billion of "pork" spending to his home state...and I think THAT is not something that anyone should be proud of.....Also, he also voted against the landmark 1964 Civil Rights Act..he even fillibusterd for 14 hours to try to stop it...he was a member of the KKK...he is nothing more than a racist, who kept in office because he bribed his votes with millions and millions of dollars worth of pork...
of course I have nothing but condolences to his family, but he should have left his office years ago....as I will admit the same for Lugar.
"Pork, to the critic, is service to the people who enjoy some of the good things in life, and I've been happy to bring to West Virginia the projects to which they refer. I have no apology for it," he said.

You have a lot of nerve. :mad:
Couldn't you have SOME respect for the dead by reserving your twisted half-truths for the living. There are plenty of living Democrats for you to despise.
He was no longer a member of the Klan, he learned from his mistakes. People are capable of change. He admited to his mistakes and felt remorse for his decisions and proved it by becoming one of Washington's biggest champions for civil rights.
At a minimum, I find it hypocritical for you to judge anyone's stance on race considering the party you bow down to.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but not all opionions are correct and are only as good as the facts that support them. You have nothing to support your opinion that he was a racist at the time of his passing. In fact, his civil rights advocacy indicates that you are more than likely very wrong. And don't waste your time pulling your one trick rabbit out of your pocket, because there's an entire list of causes he championed.
Byrd was a loyal man, devoted to his church, his wife of 69 years and his home state. His track record is far more honorable than most of the Republicans in Washington. That's what really bothers you.

Sandy, first of, believe me or not, I have NO hatred in me towards Byrd....NONE. As a mater of fact I don't "hate" towards anyone..why does it bother you if I "besmirch" him now, or if I "besmirch" him while he was still alive?....the only thing that bothers me is the two-faced hypocrisy by the left.....Byrd WAS a klansman....and my whole point to even bringing that up was for the very reasons I just stated.....had it been a conservative who had the exact same record....folks like YOU would "hate" him...ME, brought up a great point and example.
and quite frankly Sandy, I don't give a rats ASS if ANYONE thinks I am "cherry-picking" the man's life.....I PROVED my point and you exemplified it....

Bob Probert ~ DEAD! @ 45!
An "enforcer" type of infamy in the NHL, Proby was among my favorites during his 7 years with the Hawks. My friends and I were talking about him during the Hawks successful Stanley Cup PLayoff season this year! :yes: :spooked:
Quote
Chicago Blackhawks President John McDonough released the following statement on behalf of the organization regarding the passing of former Blackhawks forward Bob Probert.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Probert family during this difficult time," said McDonough. "Bob will always be a member of the Blackhawks family and his memory will live on through our fans."
Probert, 45, spent seven of his 16 National Hockey League seasons as a member of the Blackhawks and registered 125 points (49G, 76A) and 1,210 penalty minutes in 461 regular-season tilts from 1995 to 2002. He posted five points (2G, 3A) and 64 penalty minutes in 18 postseason contests with Chicago.
Overall, Probert recorded 384 points (163G, 221A) in 935 career regular-season games with the Blackhawks and Detroit Red Wings (1985-94). His 3,300 career penalty minutes rank fifth all-time in NHL history. He also tallied 48 points (16G, 32A) along with 274 penalty minutes in 81 career Stanley Cup Playoff tilts.
The Blackhawks honored the Windsor, Ontario, native with Bob Probert Heritage Night on February 22, 2009 at the United Center, and he dropped the ceremonial puck prior to Game 3 of the 2009 Western Conference Finals between Detroit and Chicago.

BREAKING NEWS!Cheney is having emergency heart surgery at this very moment! :spooked: :yes:
Hmmmmm.......
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Former Vice President Dick Cheney, who has a long history of heart problems, said on Wednesday he has had a new heart pump implanted.
"A few weeks ago, it became clear that I was entering a new phase of the disease when I began to experience increasing congestive heart failure," Cheney, 69, said in a statement.
"After a series of recent tests and discussions with my doctors, I decided to take advantage of one of the new technologies available and have a Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) implanted," he said.
"The LVAD is a small implantable pump that improves heart function and will enable me to resume an active life."
Cheney, who has had five heart attacks, the latest in February, said the surgery went well and he was recuperating.
LVADs helps maintain the pumping ability of a heart that cannot work effectively on its own. They are usually implanted only in patients with severe heart failure and are nicknamed a "bridge to transplant", according to the American Heart Association.
Congestive heart failure is a chronic condition that develops as the heart loses its ability to pump properly and gradually enlarges.
Cheney previously had a defibrillator implanted to monitor his heart and shock it back into a normal rhythm if abnormal beating occurred. It was replaced in 2007 because of a low battery.
Studies have shown LVADs reduce the risk of death in end-stage heart failure patients by 50 percent, extending the average life span from 3.1 months to more than 10 months.
Cheney, a Republican, has been a vocal critic of Democratic President Barack Obama's policies.

"...in end-stage heart failure patients by 50 percent, extending the average life span from 3.1 months to more than 10 months."
^^
I wonder if that means that Cheney is "end-stage" or merely a comment about the device itself. If he's end-stage, he may very well be showing up on this thread himself fairly soon.

Maybe I'm holding the Iraq war he and his friend created and the 4000 plus men and women he killed there. Maybe it because he was wanting to bomb Iran.

Maybe it because he's just a pure Republican Asshole. :biggrin: :yes:
I hope he lives a long, long, long time on that heart pump. I had a friend who had one and he die a terrible death. Thinking he had hope and suffered immensely with it before he died.
Is Dick on a government health plan that's paying for this fancy pump. They don't work for very long. :biggrin:

It's still wrong no matter how you excuse it. There was a lot that could have been said about Kennedy too ya know. But you go right ahead and if you can live with it do it I just can't do that to anyone I don't care who they are or what they've done. In my mind they still have people who love them and family, hell, even Charles Manson has family who loves him. It's just something that really rubs me the wrong way is all.

Maybe your right, there was people who loved Adolf Hitler, Joe Stalin, Mao Tsetung, Kim Jong-il Hideki Tojo and some other nice people. Right. As far as John F. Kennedy, maybe he like skirts but he never did the pure evil the Richard Chainey did. That's a fact. :trustme:

What he did for the middle class over ruled any thing that happen in the accident. You probably think he's a scumm bag too. So what. But he never, never, never did the evil that Dick Chainey did.

Ted Kenndy, plain and simple he had an accident. It was prove the once that car went of the bridge he couldn't have save her. That's the facts. What he did for the middle class over ruled any thing that happen in the accident. You probably think he's a scumm bag too. So what. But he never, never, never did the evil that Dick Chainey did. What is so bad, he it did it for year and years.

When it come to pure unadultrated evil, I have no conscience. Just because some evil asshole died or is going to die doesn't change that he was a evil asshole. There is one thing I would have never accuses Dick Chainey of was. "When someone said that she wouldn't trust Bill Clinton with his daughter." I know that Dick loved his wife and daugther and they will morn and miss him, I won't.

Maybe I'm holding the Iraq war he and his friend created and the 4000 plus men and women he killed there. Maybe it because he was wanting to bomb Iran. May I hold him responsible for all of the cheating and stealing Halliburton did. Maybe it's the water boarding and torture he ordered. Maybe it because he's just a pure Republican Asshole. :biggrin: :yes:
I hope he lives a long, long, long time on that heart pump. I had a friend who had one and he die a terrible death. Thinking he had hope and suffered immensely with it before he died.
Is Dick on a government health plan that's paying for this fancy pump. They don't work for very long. :biggrin:

That tumor is a stage 4 cancer, which has now been diagnosed. . . :spooked:
Stage 4 means it is metastatic.
Throat cancer stages III and IV are very serious conditions. Throat cancer in these stages usually requires a combination of surgery, chemotherapy and radiation treatment. Most throat cancers at this stage require the removal of the pharynx or the larynx, or both. Removal of the larynx is called a laryngectomy, and removal of the pharynx is called a pharyngectomy. A laryngectomy is also required for most cases of larynx cancer.

It depends upon how far it has spread though. If it has gone beyond the lymph nodes he is toast. Best case is 2 years if it has spread further. . .
I worked with a couple of guys who had throat cancer and had those "Mr Microphone" devices to talk with. They had their voice boxes removed along with the larynx and pharynx. . . And they lasted 2 or 3 years beyond that before it got them.

But he said that when it was decided by his leaders to shoot. He had no problem to sending a round down range. Why, because he's a cop and the sniper for his police department. As a soldier that great, as a sniper here shooting Americans and when his bosses say shoot it, it doesn't even bother him. Especially the way I feel about management.

"This is probably considered stage 4A because it hasn't spread below the neck," said Dr. Nader Sadeghi, director of Head and Neck Surgery at the George Washington University Hospital, who is not involved in Douglas' treatment.
Sadeghi went on to say that the five-year survival rates for this type of cancer can vary greatly, depending on the size of the tumor, and the number of lymph nodes involved.

I'm sure Ron is clicking his heals along the third base line on the other side.
I am sorry to see he has left us though. He may not have been the best third baseman to ever play the game, but what he lacked in skill and ability, he made up for with desire, drive, and leadership.
The big "C" got him, (bladder), although diabetes did its best to take him well before this. He lost both his legs to it back in 2002 I think it was)

Chicago Cub Ron Santo gone, and forgotten in Cooperstown
Posted: 10:00 AM ET
The Windy City is breathing a sigh of sadness today.
One of my boyhood heroes has passed away. He was one of the best to ever play third base. He played on a team known as the "Loveable Losers." But the most impressive thing about Ron Santo is that he played 15 seasons in the majors while suffering from juvenile diabetes—something he kept a secret from his teammates and the world for years. Santo's battle only became known when he fell down in pain after a routine throw to first.
He didn't have the kind of medical treatment we do today. We don't know if he regularly took insulin but he would eventually lose both his legs to the diabetes. His passing was reportedly from complications from bladder cancer.
But the biggest injustice of all, is this man (even while fighting a life-long uphill battle against diabetes) was one of the five or six best players to ever play third base and he died not being inducted into the Hall of Fame.
It's been a bad year for baseball. The ratings were terrible in the post-season and there were several blown calls. But Santo not being inducted while he was alive is the biggest blown call for me, and that was one they could have overturned. Sadly time has run out let Santo on the podium.
He wasn't just a good player. He was also a good man and a loving husband and father. There's a saying that states, "no cheering in the press box," but when Santo covered the Cubs in the booth he unapologetically cheered for Chicago. "I'm a fan," he explained. And we loved him for it. There was no pretense about him. He was who he was and those are the kind of people most of us tend to admire and adore.
I had the pleasure of meeting Ron once and it was a moment I'll never forget. The warmth that he emanated was palpable. Sadly he's gone now and baseball didn't give others a chance to get to know him like I did with an enshrinement in Cooperstown.
Hopefully this is a call baseball will reverse.
R.I.P. Ron. You will be missed.

Ron Santo, who played third base for the Chicago Cubs for 15 years and later joined their broadcast team, died of complications of bladder cancer Thursday night, the Chicago Tribune reported. He was 70.
Santo suffered from juvenile diabetes, which he kept secret even from his teammates. He was loved in Chicago as a great player on a bad team in the 1960s and '70s. He played his final season for the crosstown White Sox in 1974. The Cubs retired the nine-time All-Star's No. 10 after he retired.

A damned shame a guy like him has to die before the national press understands what a travesty his being shunned by cooperstown was and IS!
He was man that kids could hold as a hero and never be ashamed of doing so! A rare breed of public sports figure, especially in this day and age!
Palehorse, this is a great tribute to a great man. That is awesome that you had the opportunity to meet him......I also, hope that he gets into Cooperstown, somehow.

Gifford was the voice of reason, Don and Howard used to argue and carry on. Don, was usually just trying to get howard's goat. I always liked that combo, they made a boring game somewhat interesting.
Thought that was him, but since he was so young, I wasn't quite sure. Gifford is the only one out of those three who has been able to remain off of this thread. He's 80.

And it never will be. In fact, I expect next seasons lock out to severely negate the NFL's popularity and attendance for years to come. Baseball is a good example of how that works. . . I still do not watch it like I used to, and am easily distracted from it if I do have it on. . .
I hope that lockout can be averted, but it doesn't look that way at the moment.

I don't know how much longer she has, but she'll soon be on this thread. Despite your politics, this woman faced a lot with the utmost of courage and grace. Truly a classy lady.

Man that sux!
That is very sad. I really like her as a person.
That is too bad, she seems like a nice person, and her kids are still young, too.
I agree that really does suck, she did seem like a very classy woman, she has had a rough way to go the last few years.....

My heart bleeds for this woman, and I can say without a doubt that she demonstrates freighter loads of class within her statement. I am going to quote it here below, because I really admire her strength and ability to maintain her composure and put her thoughts into words when confronted with such a devastating challenge. I honestly do not think I could be as strong and composed as she appears to be. . .
Quote. . .The message from Edwards, the wife of two-time presidential candidate John Edwards, reads:
"You all know that I have been sustained throughout my life by three saving graces – my family, my friends, and a faith in the power of resilience and hope. These graces have carried me through difficult times and they have brought more joy to the good times than I ever could have imagined. The days of our lives, for all of us, are numbered. We know that. And, yes, there are certainly times when we aren't able to muster as much strength and patience as we would like. It's called being human.
"But I have found that in the simple act of living with hope, and in the daily effort to have a positive impact in the world, the days I do have are made all the more meaningful and precious. And for that I am grateful. It isn't possible to put into words the love and gratitude I feel to everyone who has and continues to support and inspire me every day. To you I simply say: you know."
This is truly a heartbreaking situation!
Elizabeth Edwards, just heard this on the tv. Sorry for her family.
:(
Yep. She died at 61. That was quicker than even I thought.

Yeah, I'm not too happy about it either. . .
I saw her at the local Casino a year or two back, and it was a fabulous show. She's an icon and the Queen of Soul, and a lot of her music is part of the soundtrack of my life.
That really sucks, she was still going strong and singing like it was yesterday. She is, without a doubt, a true legend.
Pancreatic cancer doesn't mess around. It usually kills quickly.

Mars Spirit rover may be dead. The latest attempts to call it have failed and no transmissions have been heard from it for a little over a year. :(
Its twin, opportunity, is still plugging along though. ;D
These things were only supposed to last 3 months on the surface of Mars but have far outlived that. They landed on Mars in 2004 and for them to operate as long as they have/did is amazing.
Certainly, it's appropriate so long as you follow the established protocol.

She is one of the few Republicans and Republican women that I have any respect for. She was a strong and smart woman. The knew her problems, she face them and she she won over them. It was at the age of 93 that old father time caught up with her.
Instead of sitting back and standing three steps behind her man and keeping her opinions to herself she spoke up and started a clinic that saved many people and she was for women's right to have abortion.
If there is a heaven, she got a room to herself. :angel: :angel: :angel: :4th3:

I wish we would just walk a way from this white elephant. We proved it could be done, nothing has been created from it, except some unknown things about space. Because we can't produce zero gravity here on earth so we could not produce anything that is invented up there.
With a cost of over a $1,000 a pound to place something in low orbit and the enormous cost of keeping humans up there in a total vacuum. You could produce diamonds, gold or life saving drugs up there and it would cost to much for anyone to buy.
I would bet if the USA quit spending money on this pie in the sky.

I tend to disagree with your position Troll.
Would you tell me why. I have thought about quite a bit and I can't see why we should keep it. Is it to keep NASA? I am for that. Why don't they have a project like when we went to the moon, but this one is to develop high energy batteries, using metals we have here in America, new wind mills. To me the ones they have now are old technology. How about Super Cold nonresistance power lines for transferring electricity around the country, saving million of dollars in energy.
I still want to explore the universe and I want to save all of the great men and women we have at NASA. But the space station, I don't see it.
Can you tell me one thing that they have developed up there that can made and used in mass here on earth.
Long distance ultra sound devices.
Anti gravity treadmills - used to rehab folks after serious injury.
Carbon nanotubes - used to detect e coli and other bacteria.
"Fishbytes" a program that is based upon data from the ISS to predict where species of fish are most likely to be based upon temp and salinity.
And none of this takes into account the medical experiments that are currently enabling vast progress in the development of bone loss treatments, salmonella vaccines, etc.

As with most things this man did, he did it with impeccable timing. He resigned from the company he founded, and 10 years later brought back to life, only to cross over just a bit over a month after resigning.
He is missed already. . . :'( :yes:
I just hope Apple continues his legacy of bringing innovative products to the world, before they even know they need them!
I have a great deal of respect for him....RIP

Well worth 20 minutes out of your life. Steve Job's commencement address at Stanford University back in 2005.

Yes, Steve Jobs is dead. A genius, a brain, a nice man to some, a husband, a father, a billionaire.
But he was part of the computer revolution that destroyed millions of jobs. But to me what is worse is, he made all of his money in America, he lived in America. But were did he produce all of his inventions, all of his products. Over Seas by other people at slave wages. Who made all of the money from his genius, it was Steve Jobs, his company but no Americans. :4th4:
Dennis Ritchie. DEAD!
The father of the C programming language and a more robust Unix operating system, he was a pioneer of computer science. Much of my IT knowledge is based on his trailblazing. I develop iPhone apps which are written in Objective C. I've ported those apps to Android which is Java based. Java has its roots in C. Web servers all around the world that power the Internet are running Unix, including those data centers at Google and Amazon. Android and iOS as well as Mac OS/X are descendants of C. Such a pioneer.
This man has had an effect on everyone that uses a personal device, to their use of the Internet, to operating systems, etc. RIP Mr. Ritchie. I owe my career to your vision.

Andy Rooney DEAD! @ 92. . .
For me he
was 60 minutes. I grew up watching that program and never stopped because of him. His was the segment I could always count upon, and the one I consistently enjoyed the most. A lot of the time the only reason I tuned in was to see his show ending segments.
It is perhaps in large part due to his ability to view life's minutia at all the angles, why I at times seem to see things in a way that most folks overlook, or dismiss off-handedly. At a minimum, his style helped me to develop an ability that I might have overlooked myself if not for him; so although I am no Andy Rooney, I have him to thank for highlighting that method in a way that made it attractive to me.
After his announced retirement a month ago, wherein he said "writers will always write", I tried to imagine how a man who had just finished his 1097th video commentary would spend his time in retirement. I thought he might write another book or two, but mostly I thought he'd just shuffle about his quarters feeling like he was missing a deadline or something. I suppose 30 days wasn't enough time for him to actually recognize the hole in his life retirement would create. And for a guy like Andy Rooney, that was probably a good thing.
He was missed before he crossed over. He will now be missed endlessly. :'(
Andy was a great guy.
With Andy gone there sure can't be many men and women who served in World ll around. He sure seen a lot of changes in the world. :salute: :flag:

You levels claims of Socialism at the President, and when it comes right down to it, you don't even really understand what that means. You just parrot the words of your favorite talking head and never question them.
If you had half a clue to what you talk about, I would LOVE to entertain more of a debate, but YOU just did a spin job on my post to make yourself look tough....
go back and read what I wrote...HE was a socialist....just because he claims he isn't does not mean he was not one. But, I retracted, and called him what he ADMITS that he was...a marxist.

Well, I liked the man, his intelligence, his wit and his writtings. I have read all of his books. God is Not Great is great reading. You can really see where he came up with his beliefs. His feeling about religion and his feelings about his political stand. Anyone who has bad feelings about him should have walked in his shoes.
There is some great things about him on YouTube. It's great and interesting. He is so far about any of the Republican leadership in intelligence and religious wackos it is really outstanding. Rest in peace in the Universe Christopher Hitchens. :salute:

Anybody think it was something other than drugs?
The curse of the famous music industry - sex + drugs = an untimely death, claims another one.
Just seems that the gifted lose any appreciation for what they have, what it has brought them, and get so bored they turn to substance abuse. . .
A lot of drugs and this is what you get. :dead:
she was one of my wifes favorite female singers, I think she has about every cd she made.....too bad, I guessing drugs had SOMETHING to do with it...but, very, very sad regardless.
Now that I've had some time to digest it, I find it ironic that so many, (this poster included), were so quick to rush to judgment in this death. None of us knows what the cause of death is in this case, and yet we speak as if we do.
It could potentially be a genetic defect in her heart, brain, or circulatory system, or a cornucopia of other physical ailments/diseases. Or it could be one of the former exacerbated by substance abuse. Or someone may have killed her too. . .

The authorities say there doesn't see to be a crime. Sure it could be a cornucopia of other physical ailments/disease, but you surly must thing all of the drugs could have had a correlation to a death at 45.
You are right, my first thought (after finding out that Mr. Brown was across the country) was drugs given the very public problem she had with them in recent years. I guess she could have had other problems but none had been mentioned that I have seen/heard in the media. She had a great voice and I enjoyed listening to her.
Once human beings hit 40, in general, their bodies begin requiring medicinal intervention in order to prolong our lives. . . for a variety of reasons.
The presence of pill bottles in her room may be meaningless, other than the fact she was 48 years old.
Years of drug abuse can take its toll on our bodies, and in some cases accelerate the aging process surrounding our various life support systems. Even if we quit.
I hope that an overdose is not the cause of her death. I hope that she had weathered the storms life had presented to her and that it was just her time.
I guess we will find out more on Monday. . .
The Jennifer Hudson tribute on the Grammys was amazing.
The Pastor of her "church" is grabbing attention by saying that "when I found out Whitney was gone I cannot say I was surprised". . . Inferring her death was from an overdose etc, then praising Jeebus and doing a little preaching. . .
Sheesh. . . how are these people going to feel if they find out her death was by "misadventure" and not due to an intentional overdose or substance abuse? :rolleyes:

I don't think there is any secrets that she was still using drugs..maybe no crack or cocaine...her own friends said she was drinking champaign the night before and was taking prescribtion drugs....I'm sure it was NOT an INTENTIONAL thing in her mind, but she knows the dangers of drinking and pills.
She had a serious problem....and she lost.
Once again, I must defer to Occam's razor which holds that the most obvious explanation for something is probably the right one.

It is a known fact that medical prescriptions kill more people than illegal drugs. These modern drugs can be very deadly if mishandled, misused and with alcohol. If you're old enough Dorthy Kilgallen a journalist and panelist on "What is my line.

Look up what this scumbag said about Ted Kennedy after he died.
"Andrew Breitbart, a Washington Times columnist who oversees Breitbart.com and BigHollywood.com, tapped into the anti-Kennedy vein in the hours after the senator's death was announced, posting a series of Twitter messages in which he called Kennedy a "villain," a "duplicitous bastard" and a "prick."
"I'm more than willing to go off decorum to ensure THIS MAN is not beatified," Breitbart wrote. "Sorry, he destroyed lives. And he knew it."Yep. What goes around, comes around.

How is saying someone isn't elligible to be buried in a cemetery putting him down? I would say accusing someone of murder and referring to his service to his country as "sponging" qualifies as putting one down, though.

Ted had an accident, they happen everyday to everyone. But he never ever had the intention to hurt old sick, middle class and working people.
It is not unreasonable to hate haters like you so called Christians and Republicans. Complete blind hate, that all you asshole live on. The Republican Party and the leadership of the Christians are like a reverse septic tank, all of the shit raises to the top.

It's the way you said it that makes it a put down. And Ted Kennedy did murder that girl. He left the scene and didn't even tell anyone about what happened until the next day knowing she was down there. What if that had been your daughter? Anyone else would have ended up in prison for what he did.

Kennedy had been drinking, ran off a bridge, left the scene and did not report it for a full day. Kennedy had influence at the time, both political and financial, and Laura Bush had none. Na, no difference. :rolleyes: Oh wait, some psychic said, "hey, she's gonna grow up and be married to a George Bush who is gonna be president some day so we can't charge her". I don't see where there was any kind of political or means for financial influence here at all:
LAURA LANE WELCH BUSH
Birth:
Midland, Texas
1946, November 4
Father:
Harold Bruce Welch, born 1912, November 21, Pontotoc County, Oklahoma, loan company branch manager and owner of home building company, died in Midland, Texas, 1995 April 29

all we know is Laura Bush was not drunk, she did not leave the scene....Ted WAS guilty of leaving the scene...and by his own admission he swam out of the river, walked back to his motel room, took off his clothes, took a nap, got dressed THEN decided to see if Mary Jo was okay...
Laura Welch was a teenager still in school...

And why was Laura Bush even brought up is a better question. She was never president and since bad things can't be brought up about Michelle why can they be brought up about other first ladies? If one is allowed to be targeted then all should be allowed to be targeted...no favorites just because of race or nationality that would be racist.

Didn't turn it to a person though actually although I did use Michelle as an example it was a general question aimed at an in general thing. Now if you wish we can make it about Michelle. I mean we can go diggin' into her past and see what we come up with or talk about the things she's doing as first lady. I don't particularly like come of her causes but that has nothing to do with her husband as President the same as what Laura Bush did when she was a teenager had nothing to do with Bush as President so why talk about either. If someone were to come up with something though you all know you would come unglued at the seams whether it could be proved or not and heaven forbid there should be room for a differing of opinion on it. Laura Bush was brought up to excuse the wrong doing of another and it was neither here nor there.

An accident in which he left the scene, went to sleep, and then reported it hours later. Last I knew it was illegal in any state to leave the scene of an accident let alone one in which a person was killed and may have been saved had he reported it right away. Something which anyone else would have been jailed and fined.

The left can make nasty cracks about conservatives or anyone else and its fine but let a conservative do it and the liberals are screamin' bloody murder and callin' for heads.

Yes but you're trying to distract the conversation away from Limbaugh by bringing up Maher much in the same way the conversation was changed from Breitbart to Ted Kennedy and then you bitched when it went from Kennedy to Laura Bush.
Without discussing anyone else, is Limbaugh a scumbag or isn't he?
I don't like him but, no, he is not a scumbag.

I'm not talking about his recent comments regarding Ms. Fluke. I'm talking about him, on a daily basis, willingly, wantonly, and purposefully propagating lies to make a living. How can a person who does that, regardless of which side of the aisle they're on, not be considered a scumbag?
Furthermore, what does it say about a corporation (Clear Channel Communications) that aids and abets it, all in the name of the bottom line?

LMAO! You are SO right!
The evangelicals, who are cultish themselves, see the Mormons as a true cult. They may have differences with the Catholics, but they sprang from their loins. Therefore, since the evangelicals are all about making this election about religion, they aren't going to buy into a Mormon while they will buy into a bat-shite crazy Catholic who wants a theocracy and has SO much in common with the dominionist evangelicals.

The exit polling actually supports that too. Most of the people who supported Santorum said Romney "wasn't conservative enough." What that really means is that he isn't enough like them and their religion. They get all squeamish supporting someone who believes that Jeebus had the cajones to come over to America and spread the good news after his resurrection. In other words, Jeebus should just keep his holy ass in the holy land where he belongs and all will be good. :biggrin:
And since we're on that topic, and this is the dead thread:
Jeebus - still dead after 2,000 years if he even existed at all. :icon_twisted:

If you read about the Mormons and their religion you can see how ridiculous it is, not hardly any more ridiculous than the other versions of x-tianity, but as you point out it's OK to them for their god to have arisen and walked around the 'holy land', but it isn't OK for the Mormons to say he left there and came here to walk around some.

(CNN) -- The comic Gallagher, known for smashing watermelons, is "slowly recovering" from a heart attack suffered just before he was to perform at a Texas club, his promotional manager said Thursday.
"We will not know the outcome until sometime tomorrow," Christine Scherrer said.
Gallagher, 65, is in stable condition at an undisclosed Dallas-area hospital, Scherrer said.
He was about to go onstage Wednesday at Hat Tricks, a Lewisville, Texas, club, when he fell ill and was taken to a hospital by paramedics, she said.
"His family is with him and Hat Tricks has been unbelievable with the help and support with everything," Scherrer said.
His shows in Texas, Oklahoma and Oregon scheduled through next week have been postponed, she said.

Going back to that conversation that Y and I had the other day about the evangelicals being scared of the Mormons, I was channel surfing a few nights ago while under the weather, and came across Frances Swaggart and a panel discussing Mormonism.
Y was quite right when he said that the cult like evangelicals really do consider Mormons a true cult. You should have seen the absolute terrified look on ole' Frances' face when they were discussing some basic tenants of the Mormon religion. It was absolutely hilarious to sit there and listen to them denigrate Mormons for their beliefs, all while oblivious to the fact that they believe in some equally nutty shit. Frances said, "Mormons baptize the dead! Think of that! Isn't is just easier to believe the Bible?" :rotfl:
Now going back to the evangelicals, I'm left to wonder what they'll do come election day when Romney is their nominee (which he will be). They'll be forced to either vote for Barack Obama (who they believe to be a Muslim), or Mitt Romney (who they think belongs to a cult)! ;D Or maybe they'll just stay home altogether and send Obama back for a second term. :yes:
Yes Frances Swaggart; think of THAT! :rotfl:

Hannity asked "what kind of a horses do you have, Rommey said,"she has a Austrian Warm Blood a Dressage horse and I have a Missouri Foxtroter it's sorta like a quarter horse." I just can't believe they have only two horses with all of the kids and grand children they have. :wink: :smile:

LONDON (AP) — Former Bee Gee Robin Gibb is gravely ill with pneumonia in a London hospital, British media reported Saturday.
The Sun newspaper reported that 62-year-old Gibb is in a coma, citing a family friend.
The newspaper and the Press Association news agency said family members including wife Dwina and brother Barry were at his bedside.
Gibb's publicist, Doug Wright, declined to comment, but Gibb's son has acknowledged that the 62-year-old musician is seriously ill in a hospital.
Gibb was hospitalized last year for stomach and colon problems and had intestinal surgery last month.
Gibb has not specified the exact nature of his illness — widely reported to be cancer — but told the BBC he had a growth on his colon that was removed.

The Gibb family maintains a residence near Miami, and has since the boys were kids. I have been there. My former employer lives right next door, and it was through my former employer that I met the family.
Now that you mention that, I recall that they have (or had) property here in South Florida. Apparently though, it was placed on the market late last year. Not sure if it has since been sold.

I am fairly sure my former employer's house is the one at the bottom of that picture. . .

:'( :'( :'(
There's a sorrow in the wind
Blowing down the road I've been
I can hear it cry while shadows steal the sun
But I cannot look back now
I've come too far to turn around
And there's still a race ahead that I must run
I'm only halfway home, I've gotta journey on
To where I'll find, find the things I have lost
I've come a long long road but still I've got some miles to go
I've got a wide, a wide river to cross
I have stumbled, I have strayed
You can trace the tracks I made
All across the memories my heart recalls
But I'm still a refugee, won't you say a prayer for me?
'Cause sometimes even the strongest soldier falls
I'm only halfway home, I've gotta journey on
To where I'll find, I'll find the things I have lost
I've come a long long road but still I've got some miles to go
I've got a wide, a wide river to cross
I'm only halfway home, I've gotta journey on
To where I'll find, I'll find the things that I have lost
I've come a long long road but still I've got some miles to go
I've got a wide, a wide river to cross
I've got a wide, a wide river to cross
...................................
Life's a strain of painful things to be overcome.
We mark the mile by our trials and suffer everyone.
But hold them near and keep them dear and don't be ashamed.
Trials of the world are all heaven's pearls.

That's basically what I do. I do have the store bought CD of that album but but they always seem to leave off some of the original album songs and add some that weren't on it. I hate when they do that. I imagine it's a time thing but still they could at least put all the original album songs on the new CD versions.

Junior Seau - DEAD!
:eek:
Self inflicted gunshot wound. :spooked:
http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/junior-seau-shooting-at-home-050212
Former NFL great Junior Seau reportedly died in a shooting after reports of a possible suicide at his home, according to NBC San Diego and the North County Times.
Oceanside, Calif., mayor Jim Wood told the Times that he learned of the death from police chief Frank McCoy. Wood said he was told Seau, 43, died from a gunshot wound to the chest.
A housekeeper found Seau, according to the Times. A 911 call reporting a possible suicide was made to police at 10 a.m., a dispatcher said.
Chargers chaplain Shawn Mitchell told the San Diego Union-Tribune that he was notified of the death and is on his way to be with family members.
"Junior was an icon not only in San Diego but throughout the nation. Of course this will affect a lot of people, not in the least the children and kids who look up to him," Mitchell said.
"He had a great impact on many lives. He's changed my life in many ways, I'm sure."
Seau played for the Chargers, Dolphins and Patriots, retiring in 2009. He was named to the Pro Bowl 12 times and made the league's list of All-Pro starts for 10 years.
The official Chargers Twitter account sent this post: "We don't have any information right now on the Junior Seau situation. We pray he's OK."
In October 2010, Seau sustained injuries when his SUV crashed at the bottom of a Carlsbad cliff.
Oceanside police arrested Seau on a felony domestic violence charge.
Then, hours after his release from custody, Seau was found behind the wheel of an SUV that had crashed over a cliff onto the beach below.

Agreed. He had some problems. I'm not so sure he hasn't tried suicide before when he drove that SUV over the cliff after his release on the domestic violence charge. Maybe this time, he just took care of business.

Seau's death contributes to the dark legacy of the 1994 Chargers Team:
. . .
-- In 1995, about five months after the Chargers lost to the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl, linebacker David Griggs died in a car crash. He was 28.
-- In May 1996, running back Rodney Culver died in a plane crash. He was 26.
-- In July 1998, linebacker Doug Miller died after being struck by lightning while camping. He was 28.
-- In May 2008, center Curtis Whitley was found dead of a drug overdose. He was 39.
-- In October 2008, defensive end Chris Mims died of complications from an enlarged heart. He was 38.
-- In February 2011, defensive tackle Shawn Lee died of a heart attack. He was 44.
-- In December, linebacker Lew Bush died of a heart attack. He was 42.
Then Wednesday, tragedy hit the team and the NFL community again when Seau was found dead in a bedroom of his Oceanside, California, home. A handgun was found near his body. He was 43. . .

Although it is dead, it didn't die by my hand. A neighbor (who is also a LEO) across the lake killed it. Apparently, he works the night shift and it was keeping him from sleeping during the day. As to it being protected, he told me that it wasn't. I looked on Wikipedia and its conservation status is "Least Concern" which lends some credence to the neighbor's claim. I haven't looked much into it beyond that though.

Bass player Donald 'Duck' Dunn :'(
TOKYO (AP) — Bass player and songwriter Donald "Duck" Dunn, a member of the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame band Booker T. and the MGs and the Blues Brothers band, has died in Tokyo. He was 70.
Dunn was in Tokyo for a series of shows. News of his death was posted on the Facebook site of his friend and fellow musician Steve Cropper, who was on the same tour. Cropper said Dunn died in his sleep.
Miho Harasawa, a spokeswoman for Tokyo Blue Note, the last venue Dunn played, confirmed he died alone early Sunday. She had no further details.
Dunn, who was born in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1941, performed on recordings with Eric Clapton, Neil Young and many others, and specialized in blues, gospel and soul. He played himself in the 1980 hit movie "The Blues Brothers."
He received a lifetime achievement Grammy award in 2007 for his work with Booker T. and the MGs.

As someone else said, she hung herself.
I find it ironic that had I been a catholic and hung myself, the church would refuse to sanction a funeral service for me due to the fact that suicide is a mortal sin. They would also refuse to allow my burial within consecrated ground. . .
But a Kennedy that does so gets a full blown sanctioned catholic ceremony.
Clear example of the hypocrisy driven by the hunger for wealth and power. . .
That being said, this is yet another in a decades long string of tragedies that continue to plague the Kennedy clan. It would seem that all of them should avoid booze, drugs, and airplanes; all while avoiding political office of any type. . . If they desire to truly live out their natural lives that is. . .

Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh and the husband of Britain's Queen Elizabeth II, has been hospitalized with a bladder infection. This man has been in hospital several times in the last year.
Could there be a royal death approaching?
That would certainly put a damper on the jubilee.

I wonder how long it's going to take Charlie to take the Queen's Specter and pry it out of her cold dead hand. :confused: :smile:
I doubt Princh Charles will ever be King.
The Queen is 78 years old. If Charles lives to 90 or beyond, odds are he will indeed one day be King. . .
In watching the relentless coverage of the Jubilee this morning, the Queen seems to be getting around alright, but she is clearly fragile and aged.
I predict if Phil goes, she will be right behind him within months.

Really? I've heard of no such thing. I thought the monarchy had a rich history in divorce going all the way back to when Henry VIII said :finger01: to the Pope when he wanted to dump Catherine of Aragon and hook up with Anne Boleyn. As a matter of fact, the Anglican church (of which the reigning British monarch is the head) owes its very existence to divorce.
As for poor Anne Boleyn, she was eventually replaced by Jane Seymour. Rumor has it her spirit still roams the Tower of London most likely looking for her head. :yes: :biggrin:
Queen Elizabeth's uncle gave up the throne because he could not marry Wallis Simpson because she was divorced. Maybe the rules are different from when Henry was King. :) Did he divorce his wives? I thought he had his marriages annulled or just beheaded them for treason.

I don't know, but he chopped :behead: one wife's head off to get rid of her. Her name was "ANNE" Bolyn. Sure can't do that in this day and age, but the Republicans are sure trying to put a hurt on our women with their war on women. :yes: :biggrin:

She was divorced. Heir to the throne cannot marry a previously
Married and divorced woman and be king. (which if true eliminates Phil because wasn't his current wife married before? Did he die or were they divorced?)

Yes I did and thank you for pointing out my mistake. (I need to stop posting from my phone!) :biggrin:
Not a problem, I think the whole royalty thing is convoluted and confusing at best. London is having a big year, the Diamond Jubilee and the Summer Olympics!
At any rate, Charles is the Heir apparent and first in the line of succession. Another point, in 2011 Parliament was presented with several changes to the rules, one of which was to remove the marrying a catholic disqualifier. (They still cannot sit on the throne). It also removed the primogeniture that automatically passed over females in favor of males. (Not sure if these were passed but all were presented with the full approval of the sovereign Queen, which makes me think they likely sailed through).
NONE of these changes were retroactive though, so Edward's family is still disqualified due to his abdication, and if they were passed they only apply to those current in the line of succession and their heirs.

I hear it is a very festive atmosphere over there. I have a relative currently over there and she arrived from Dublin just days before the whole DJ event. I've seen a TON of pictures before during and after it and she appears to be having the time of her life. (She's on summer break from college).
Personally I was entertained for about a half an hour during the coverage of it, but the rest of the whole day of saturation of the event here in the states was more than a bit nauseating to me. :biggrin:
And so back to the royal death subject. . .
In my life I have had the bittersweet experience of being around immediate family within a short timeframe before their deaths. Along the way I became cognizant of the subtle changes that take place when one nears their expiration dating. Among those changes I have noticed is in the eyes.
When one is nearing expiration the eyes are the tell for me. You look into their eyes and it is almost as if I can actually see there spirit preparing to leave. The eyes become "black" and the "aura" of them almost resembles a black hole in space.
I see it in the eyes of the Queen, although I will admit it appears to be in the beginning stages. While she may appear to be full of life and vibrant at first glance, if you look into her eyes you can see what I am talking about. Compare an early picture of her to one taken just this week and you will probably be able to see it for yourself.
I saw it in the eyes of my own mother, grandmother, grandfather, and a couple of aunts. And I see it in the Queen.

He gave up the throne because it would have caused the government to resign and an ensuing constitutional crisis had he married her. I'm not sure that had his parents approved of the marriage, that he wouldn't have been able to go ahead and marry her and retain the throne. From an article I read:
Royals who are divorced or marry divorcees do not lose their position in the line of succession. Edward VIII had a number of affairs with married women including Wallis Simpson who was already divorced and still married to her second husband. His parents King George V and Queen Mary did not approve and refused to meet her. When George V died Prime Minister Baldwin made it clear that the Government, popular opinion in the country and the oversees (sic) Dominions (now the Commonwealth nations) did not approve of his plans to marry Wallis. Social attitudes towards divorce and a women looking for a third marriage were considered scandalous at the time, and if Edward married against the advice of his Ministers it would have caused the Government to resign and a constitutional crisis. Edward chose to abdicate.
The 1772 Royal Marriages Act requires members of the Royal Family to obtain permission from the Sovereign to marry. Queen Elizabeth II gave her permission for Prince Charles to marry Camilla, and more recently for Prince William to marry Catherine Middleton.http://www.britroyals.com/faqs.htm
Looks like Charles is in the clear because his mum gave permission for the marriage to Camilla. Also gave permission to William to marry Catherine. Personally speaking, if I needed the queen's permission to marry Kate Middleton and she didn't give it,
I would even abdicate the throne to marry her. :yes: She's smokin' hot! ;D

I looked into his eyes and just like you said, you could see the life spirit going, Just dark holes in space, nothing was there. They the hospital staff gave him a pain shot and he closed his cold dead eyes, it was heart breaking but he was free of pain. He later die that evening while my sister was there.

I'm
very sorry you had to experience it Troll, but I know exactly how you feel.
I believe some call it the "firelight" in their eyes, but no matter what one calls it, I have come to realize not everyone has the skill to utilize their ability to see it. But once you recognize it there is no mistaking it, that is for sure.
I never saw it in my own father's eyes though. I was with him just a short while before he dropped from a massive heart attack. He was dead before he hit the floor. (And I am thankful the he was spared a lingering illness that sucks the life out of you).
I began to see it in my mother after her 3rd stroke, and it was much like the look I see in the Queens eyes now. Mom lasted about a year and a half after I first saw it, but when I last visited her just about a week before her death it was there full blown. I took one look at her and instantly knew her time was very near.
The doctors said she was going to make a full recovery but I knew better, and told my siblings in private away from mother. They got pissed at me, but within a few days of leaving her I got the call.
I saw it in my grandfather's eyes in November and he was dead by New Years day. I saw it in my grandmother's eyes and she died within a month. . .
IMHO it is there in the Queen's eyes, and although it is not full blown, the light is fading noticeably.

Exactly Libby. And absolutely it can be seen within every living thing. I have seen it in the eyes of pets myself, and it is just as gut wrenching as when it is a family member.
If you have seen it in an animal you can see it in human beings if you look close enough. There is no mistaking it once you have seen it.

My daughter in law Ann said that two day before her very sick father died. He sat at the kitchen table with his eyes closed and carried on a conversation with his long dead wife her mother. Talking how good the food was and if she was enjoying it. She said it went on for a half hour or so. He sure had missed his wife of many many years. :smitten: :smile:

The body of Andy Griffith, a North Carolina native and actor who for years won over audiences with his folksy appeal, was buried Tuesday morning less than five hours after he died.
He passed away at around 7 a.m. ET at his home on Roanoke Island, authorities reported.
At the request of his family, Griffith's body was lowered into a grave on the island at about 11:30 a.m. ET, according to a funeral spokesperson who declined to be named, citing the sensitivity of the matter.
"It had been planned for some time," said the spokesperson, who declined to reveal where on the island the body was buried.
"This was the wish of his family."

She had lost her husband in December of 2010 and had only sporadically been adding new articles to her website since. Sadly, it sounds as though the loss of her husband was too much for her to overcome and she may have committed suicide. She was a voice of reason in the world and will be missed.

When is see a sight of something so powerful and it's the product of man it is a wonderful feeling. I watch the shuttle blow up many and many times and I think of that engineer who was fired because he didn't want it to fly that morning because it was to cold and the "O" rings might not hold. What a shame to lose all of those people. But the death of Sally almost killed the space shuttle. Oh, the terrible thing to kill a school teacher was the drum beat, beat, beat of the 24 hour new media. Anybody with science of space in their blood would have taken that ride and Sally did. She took a trip into the history books as part of the American Space Program. :salute: :4th3:

I don't think he was that old; 4 years maybe? The unfortunate aspect of this is that he was killed by other police officers who were trying to get to his handler to render first aid after the handler had been shot and the dog was doing his job protecting him. We really need to teach non-dog handler officers better how to deal with this situation. Killing the dog should be the absolute last resort. This is so tragic on so many different levels it makes me want to cry.

I did not hear that. . . That sucks. . . :'( The dog was doing what he was trained to do. . . If that is indeed the case then you are right, they really need to train non K9 officers to deal with such situations!

According to the IndyStar the K9 was shot by his handler because he mistook another officer, pinned down by the gunfire, as an aggressor and attacked him. The article is a bit contradictory though in that it states the "officers" shot the dog. . .
http://www.indystar.com/article/20120727/NEWS/120727046/Anderson-officer-forced-shoot-kill-his-canine-partner-during-Pendleton-shooting (http://www.indystar.com/article/20120727/NEWS/120727046/Anderson-officer-forced-shoot-kill-his-canine-partner-during-Pendleton-shooting)
Still, it is a tragic event on several levels; the loss of the K9 and the human life as well. (Specifically the innocent victim that was killed by the perp, as well as the wounding of the officers. The POS perp not so much).

That's true. The whole story sounds strange.
Don't get me wrong; this was an extremely difficult situation for all involved. Under the best of circumstances, it would take at least two people to handle this situation...one to try to control the dog and one to render aid to the fallen officer. Even then, it is almost a certainty that the person attempting to control the dog is going to get bitten. I would have offered the dog my arm and taken the bite hoping that I could have gotten hold of his collar or harness with my free hand and wrestle him under control but I have a lot of experience with dogs and have been bitten...badly...more than once...I healed. The likelihood of a novice succeeding in doing so, however, isn't good. Additionally, there was a perp in a fortified position shooting at the officers with an assault rifle...it's a tough call and none of us were there. Glad the guy shot himself...saves the taxpayer more wasted dollars.
Another K9 was injured in Lawrence last night by yet another jackass with an AK who got out of the car shooting at the officer who was pulling him over for a broken taillight. The dog was injured by flying glass from the windshield, received stitches and is at home recovering. Has the world gone mad?
good points Ex....under the circumstances, we have no idea what was going on, and I'm sure it was a very quick decision that had to be made by the officer...and you know as well as I do, he probably loved that dog very much....I too am glad the perp took his own life and ended a difficult and tragic situtation.

Dog are animals they can loose control just like humans do. Just like well trained horses can go into prey mode and go wild. When you think about it even computers can go wild.

These dogs are put under a tremendous amount of stress and pressure in training and are taught to work under a variety of distractions. Any dog likely to "lose control" should have been weeded out long before it ever hit the street if it was correctly trained.

This is a serious question here I'm not trying to be a smart ass but I am curious about this and know you would know the answer. If the dog had been properly trained should he have known the other officers were friendly rather than the enemy or was it that he smelled the fear and mistook them for the enemy because of that since his trainer was not able to keep him at bay? Too bad they can't train them not to attack someone in uniform since there are times when they may have to do just that although it would be rare, or at least one would hope.
I think the dog was well trained, but the other officers were not. My best guess is that in the heat of the moment, those officers didn't approach the downed officer "properly" and it freaked the dog out.

We see every day how police "officers" loose control. Do you really think a dog can't be unreasonable once in awhile. Just like cop can be unreasonable every day. :yes:
I guess anything is possible, but I'd trust the instincts of an animal before I would those of a human. Especially an animal trained to use that instinct to it's fullest ability to protect.

The dog has no way of knowing if the other officers are friendly or not; his job is to protect the handler.

Correct; the dog will normally revert back to his training. The dog was doing what he was trained to do; the people had not been trained to deal with a dog in the event the handler became incapacitated.

Neil Armstrong - DEAD!
One giant leap into the afterlife!
This man was one of my real life heroes, and one I still recall watching achieve what no man had dared dream to achieve, when I was a child.
I recall the night he walked on the moon. My family was on vacation and we were at an aunt's house near Welston Ohio. As we always did when we visited them, we were having a campfire and roasting hot dogs on their property.
I remember my uncle running an extension cord all the way out to the campfire, and carrying out his console television, so that we could all watch the televised coverage of Armstrong's first steps on the moon. I was completely captivated, and it was all I talked about the entire three weeks we were gone.
And it is always at the forefront of my thoughts each and every time I gaze skyward at the moon.
I recall dad buying antenna cable and running it out to the pole when we got to grandma's a day later. They had a TV but never watched it. But dad made sure I could watch the splashdown. :smitten:
Grandpa said they never landed on the moon, and that all the film was made in the desert somewhere. He was always suspicious of the government. :smile:
RIP Mr. Armstrong. Thank you for inspiring the world by your achievements, and for the exemplary way in which you dealt with the accolades. You remain a real life hero to me and I dare say, millions of others in this place. :'(

"For those who may ask what they can do to honor Neil, we have a simple request. Honor his example of service, accomplishment and modesty, and the next time you walk outside on a clear night and see the moon smiling down at you, think of Neil Armstrong and give him a wink."
I certainly can and will do exactly that. R.I.P. Neil.

PERFECTLY STATED!

On Sage Stallone:
Los Angeles (CNN) -- Sage Stallone, the 36-year-old son of actor Sylvester Stallone, died of atherosclerosis, which brought on a heart attack, a spokesman for the Los Angeles County coroner said Thursday.
Stallone was found dead in his Los Angeles home on July 13 by his housekeeper, who was asked by Stallone's mother to check on him.
No drugs were found in Stallone's body other than an over-the-counter Tylenol-style pain medication, according to Lt. Fred Corral of the coroner's office.

I thought so, too.
Richard had some really interesting stories about when he was courted by unnamed car owners to drive an Indycar back in the day.
Economaki was all ears and then interjected some of that info when he was covering the race.

George McGovern. Soon to be dead.
[Updated at 4:34 p.m. ET] Former Democratic presidential candidate George McGovern was on life support and "no longer responsive" on Wednesday, two days after he was admitted to a hospice, his family said.
As a sidebar to that while thing, hospice will dispatch you painlessly, but they also do it as quickly as they can. Once the IVs start flowing, the morphine is increased to make sure you pass quickly. I've personally seen it, and I have several RN friends who have confirmed that's the case.
I kind of thought so from what I've observed with two family members of a close friend and my better half's sister.

One of my best friend had cancer and was in pain, but not to the point of being out of his mind. He asked the Hospice nurse how much time did he have. She told him that she had been a Hospice nurse for 25 years and she thought with all of his body signs said to her that he had no more time than 4 days. I sat in his kitchen with him and I had brought him some Church's chicken which he love. He was at peace, no pain and a clear mind. My wife and I plus his large family was there having more of less a good time waiting for the reaper. He came that night, in his sleep. :'(

That hurricane has been on the map for days and it's not like its path wasn't known well in advance.

I know several people to had they companies sold to foreign business and they wouldn't take the wage cut, the benefits cuts and the work standard rate and they lost their jobs. Guess what, they are glad they lost that job. :yes: If you have to work the same job for half of the wages and no benefits. It's time to move on. :yes:
And guess what, the companies who tried this rape of the employees had to close down the business here in the states and go back to England. They couldn't get any American to take their offers. :biggrin:
But you Henry if your boss brought in an outside business consultant and they said that you were being paid to much and your boss cut your wage in half and took all of your benefits. You would get down on your knees and lick his hand and thank him for not firing you. :haha: :haha: That's how a SCAB thinks. :rotfl: :rotfl: No guts, no gut at all. :yes: :rolleyes: Just keep on sucking :suck: and brown nosing and back stabbing your fellow workers. Have you tried any of this Henry at your job. :grin2: I know a lot of SCABS that have. :haha:

No I would not troll, I would go out and get another job with my experience and credentials. I have turned down several jobs over the last 5 years........and making more money. I like where I am at, I like the people, and what I do. I am HAPPY.
Money is not everything Troll.......Not everyone is GREEDY and insist that OTHERS take care of them.
My boss has been loyal to me, and I will be loyal to him. It is THAT simple.

Once the Predatory Bain Capitalist type vulture capitalist has striped the corpse of the Hostess Corporation, selling off all of Hostess's assets, recipes, product names, grabbing all of the retirement money of it's employees. The Hostess products will return, probably with the same names. :yes:
But you do know the Vultures Capitalist, Bain Capital one of the finest of these birds, can clean a corpse of a corporation better that a real Buzzard can clean the corpse of a dead animal. The Vulture Capitalist even eats the bones of the corporation they are eating alive, there is no painless death here. And they leave nothing but pain and grief as they walk away wiping their mouths. :yes: :rant: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Former Sen. Warren B. Rudman - DEAD! 82 years old.
I was reading an online newspaper website, and ran across the "Dear Abby" section in the editorial and opinion pages. I knew that the column had been taken over by the daughter of Abagail Van Buren some time ago. I thought that was because Abby was DEAD! So, I looked her up, and in fact Abagail Van Buren is not DEAD at all, but alive and kicking at 94 years old. ;D

Besse Cooper - World's Oldest Person - DEAD! 116 years of age.
You go Besse!! The world is a better place because you were in it. :yes:
Before women gained the right to vote in 1920, Besse Cooper joined the suffrage movement.
Then 24, the Georgia school teacher registered women to vote and spoke to others about the importance of having a voice in politics.
Cooper voted in every election after the 19th Amendment was passed, save for two.
She died Tuesday, at age 116, only one of eight people recognized by the Guinness World Records to have lived that long.

Damn! One of the all time greats. :'(
Yup! I was first turned on to him by WGN's use of 'Take Five' as their late night theme WAY back in the early 70's. I learned to play it from there. My first applicable introduction to odd meter time signatures. I was so enamoured of it I started writing pieces in odd meters like 7/4 and others. It's a real shame jazz and classical music isn't popular with the masses any more.

You might be surprised if you make a list of all the things that have changed since you were born. Things change so fast now. I like talking to people who were in their 20's during WWII. They are all so interesting and unassuming.

Yes. I was reading one of the news articles about his death. It said that upon Randall's passing back in 2004, Klugman said that he just couldn't imagine the world without Tony Randall.

Yep, I heard about this at Xmas Eve Dinner. Sad. Ironically, he was reported harvested a time or two before, so when I heard it this evening it made me wonder if this was yet another false harvesting report. . . IIRC he even made a statement in an interview subsequent to the last false report, that he is not dead, was never dead, and wondered where those reports came from. . .

Doctors in Houston, Texas say former president George H.W. Bush's condition has worsened.
The 88-year-old Mr. Bush is in a hospital battling what doctors call a "stubborn fever." The former president entered the hospital last month with a severe cough.
A Bush family spokesman says he is in "guarded" condition.
Mr. Bush served one term as U.S. president from 1989 until 1993, after spending eight years as Ronald Reagan's vice president. He led the international coalition that drove Iraqi forces out of Kuwait in 1991.
He is the father of the 43rd president, George W. Bush.
:reap: :reap: :reap: :reap:
:spooked:
Doctors are 'cautiously optimistic' about his condition....Not sure if that is a good sign or not...but, he is a tough ol bird.
Yeah, if he can recover from this, maybe he'll jump out of another airplane for his 90th birthday. I wouldn't put it past him.
Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf - DEAD!!
