True Crime - the long siege and fire-bombing and murder of so many adults and children at the Branch Davidian compound, and subsequent "investigation". Then more investigations of cover-ups and evidence tampering and evidence dissapearances. Then the horrifying films of the actual event from other angles. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Oh! I just remembered... I watched the entertaining Kennedy cousin rape trial in Florida. Just couldn't get enough!
TOD - I was pretty obsessed with the OJ trial. ..I'll just say I think this case was Marcia Clark's to lose and she did.

Disclaimer.... The MOTW based on the incident does have a number of inaccuracies. One that really bugged me was Mountains in the scenery... There are NO mountains in ND!
This issue of North Dakota Horizons reminds us that, despite popular belief, our state does have mountains! North Dakota's state geologist fills us in about the interesting story behind them.

Closer Season Finale Casting Question: Who was the guest star playing the FBI agent (the one who was DeLuca's "partner"), the one who looks a little like Michael Keaton? He was so familiar to Betsy and me, but we missed the credits at the beginning.
Was married to singer Bonnie Raitt.
His last personal series was "Middle Ages" where he played Ron Steffey.
Made his first television series appearence in 1974 in the show M*A*S*H as Corporal Travis in the episode entitled Mad Dogs and Servicemen.
His first t.v show appearence was in Maude as Lee Harrison in the episode intitled The Election in 1975.
Played Jackies husband, Fred in the hit T.V series Rosanne.
I think the only really good thing that could happen in BB7 is for Erika and Janelle to be the final Two.
After ALL that Will and Boogie have done...and all the posturing and preening in the Diary Room feeds...it would be SWEET to see them ousted one after the other in the next two evictions.
And I'd love to see the looks on the sequester house guest faces when each walks in.
Derbrucer, you may already know this, but that looks like that park in Chicago, where if you stand in a certain spot, your face gets eventually projected gigantically like that.
Contemplating a Digital Future
September 4th, 2006
I thought this kid had an interesting look. This was taken in front of the new digital video wall in Chicago.
I have two true crimes that each have a bookshelf apiece in the library. They are the Jack the Ripper murders and who killed the Princes in the Tower...or even were they killed.
We are planning on buying a new toaster oven.
Isn't our life exciting.
Paula Deen Egg and Muffin Toaster
The Paula Deen Egg and Muffin Toaster brings innovation to the toaster category by combining the functions of a toaster and an egg poacher into one easy appliance. It can be used as a fully functioning toaster or poacher, or it can be used to make the ultimate breakfast sandwich.
Simply add the necessary ingredients and start the machine. Four minutes later, your breakfast sandwich will be ready.
I think there's another way to deal with the bats, Cillaliz. It's called exclusion, and it consists of a covering over the opening where they enter the building. They can get out in the evening, but can't get back inside. Then put a bat house near the opening so they'll have somewhere to roost. Very few bats have rabies -- only the ones you find on the ground, which won't bite unless you pick them up.
What no shelf space for our favorite crime: "The mutilation of Dragonheart: how the soul was ripped from its bosum."

Hi Danise!!
I like bats.
Alas, I know where all those bodies are buried.
Are we SURE this isn't MONDAY?
It sure "works" like a Monday.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Do the Watergate hearings and Nixon Impeachment proceedings count as "criminal trial" elements?
And the Menendez trials....woof! What a circus those were.
TOTD. It was hard to escape the Lindy Chamberlain/Dingo & The Baby case here.
It was a wonderful example of media manipulation of the public. A total swing around!
I still believe there was human intervention and that the Dingo was framed! (Unless there is a Dingo out there that can fold clothes).
Ms Streep was I believe unfairly criticized for her strange accent in the movie. It was not meant to be Australian. Lindy was from New Zealand and most of her accent remained - but with an Australian inflection.
Well Batman number 2 seems to be more the real deal and not the evil imposter that Batman number 1 is (Batman number 2 was lacking a Robin, however) .
Although I was surprised when he said the bats leave the house before dawn. I thought they left at dusk, but that wouldn't account for them being in my house at night. So, who knew that a nocturnal animal leaves the house every morning.
Anyway, he's coming back in the morning to batproof my house. The good thing is, to do that he'll have to fix some things that really need fixing (like a rotten board near one of the eaves etc). The house will be pretty sealed for winter when he's done. He will also put in a bat door so they can get out but not back in, if it looks like we need to.
I'm much happier with him. He laughed when I told him my conscience had been bothering me ever since I agreed to have the strips put in. I told him how I got the bat out of the house without harming it...he said "I use a tennis racket, if it's in my house, either he dies or I do" Not quite the answer I expected from Batman number 2 aka Fred.
I will be leaving soon. I must think about dinner and we will also put together (the drum unit and toner cartridge must be installed) our new laser printer.
Later in the week we will mosey over to Bed, Bath and Beyond and use the 20% discount coupon lifted from that house on Long Island. We are planning on buying a new toaster oven.
Isn't our life exciting.
Does all this make you Bat Girl?
Hilarious how even after Kitty gave birth last season, Brenda still refers to Kitty as a "he."
Oh, no, my dear, I'm Cat Woman!!!

A television set on display at the Berlin consumer- electronics fair IFA costs a cool 100,000 euros (130,000 dollars), organizers said Monday after surveying the expo for the dearest TV.
The LCD panel from Italian maker Keymat Industrie is plated with white gold and studded with 4 grams of diamonds.
Keymat, which said IFA was the first non-Italian fair where the model from its Yalos range was shown, added that US and Saudi buyers had already shown interest. IFA runs until Wednesday.
Last week, a German hi-fi magazine demonstrated at IFA what it described as the world's most expensive music system.
In an annual demonstration of what a hi-fi lover would love to own, Audio magazine borrowed equipment worth 750,000 euros (975,000 dollars) to assemble the sound system which includes a 220-kilogram record-player costing 125,000 euros.
Harsh discipline, verbal abuse and, most allegedly, incestuous homosexual rape.

Note to HOUSE fans.
Fox is running HOUSE out of its normal time period for the first few weeks of the season so as to give the new show STANDOFF a good lead-in audience. So, if you want to see the season premiere, it's on at 8 p.m. tonight (EDT) instead of the usual 9 p.m.
Well, after Fritz's "Haven't you had Kitty fixed yet?" comment, and Kitty's well worked-over demeanor upon returning to the fold, I suspect we'll have more demonstative proof of "Kitty's" sex later.

ACtually, those little critters keep leaving half-chewed varmints on the deck... a little snack for Miz Pen, in case I get hungry...

OK, Janelle has gone way up in my opinion, but you have to give Erika credit for helping her see the light and just in time. And, this time they didn't let Janelle get away with anything, she really did let go with one hand
Mike Boogie has got to go. What an idiot.

North Dakota's Mountains
Yes, we have mountains!

Der Brucer, I will give you mountain but it boils down to perception...
I am also watching me a Mario Lanza movie, THAT MIDNIGHT KISS...his first film (in a lead role)...what a voice!
And I did not realize he died so young...heart attack at age 38! Yikes!
Oh yes! When I was living in California, ND's "hight spots" would have been considered barely foothills. Now that I'm in Delaware (highest point - 450ft), they look like the Alps!

Of course we have suggested taht NJ be used for NYC's garbage...
The ratio of single men to single women between ages 15 and 44 last year was highest in Nevada (120.2 per 100 women), North Dakota (120.1) and Alaska (118.9). It was lowest in the District of Columbia (93.4).
Commuters in New York state had the longest average daily trip to work last year at 31.2 minutes, followed closely by commuters in Maryland and New Jersey. Those in the Dakotas had the easiest trip on average: only 16 minutes.
It already is!
