The attorneys are now gathered up at the judges bench. The Judge has excused the jury for the day. Shea will have to pick up his closing arguments Thursday.
M.L. Elrick and Charlie Langton will have a full report tonight on Fox 2 News. M.L. also has a interesting takeaway on the defense arguments the defendants will need to get out of this case as free men. No court on Wednesday, the jurors have the day off and so do we so I'll be back again in two days.
Shea says you'll have as much time as you want in the jury room to look at the deposits into Bernard's accounts. You heard the names of many of the clients. You can see checks with source information, and can see how many clients he had.
If a client did pay him in cash we'll talk about that...
Judge Edmunds lets a juror take a break.
Judge Edmunds says we should do that. There are several jurors under the weather. Maybe we should do that. Okay, she says, we'll pick up at 9:00 Thursday morning.
Says he wasn't to go back and talk about what is not illegal. Says even the Mayor's father can be a consultant. It's not illegal to talk to the Mayor as a consultant even if the consultant is the Mayor's father.
It's not illegal to talk about business opportunities. You heard evidence of all these things,. The rules don't apply any differently to him just because he's the Mayor's father.
Shea says he wants to go over some old ground. He's 71 years old, father of 3 children, Kwame is one of them. It's not uncommon to see him with his family in various places, like on the 11th floor, to see how his son is doing. His family is a political family. Mentions the congresswoman, Kwame's Mother.
Worked for the county, long local politics and public service.
Shea says when his son was elected Bernard had to leave County government. Says the thought was it was too close to have Bernard that high in county government when his son was the Mayor.
We heard about Curtis Hertell who became a consultant. Mentions other consultants. What do consultants do, they're the interface between a client who wants something and the government they want something from. Sometimes they ask about how a government operates. Or they need to make a complaint for them.
Many reasons someone might want a consultant. Why can't any of us do it. In order to do it effectively you need two things, contacts, personal relationships, people who are willing to take your call. And some specialized knowledge about how things work. It's a normal common part of public life. Lobbyists work in Congress or the State House or Senate in Lansing.
These people provide good service to their clients. The more knowledge the more valuable to clients.
Bernard Kilpatrick had what it took to make successful consultant. (Okay, that's just funny because Shea has made a big deal during the trial that many of Bernard's clients didn't get much benefit from his consulting
Judge Edmunds just told the lawyers that several of the jurors are feeling under the weather but want to try to finish our the day.
Lunch hour is over and the dense attorneys are starting to filter back into the court room.
Thomas is finished with the first of the defense team's closing arguments and the Judge calls for a lunch break. We'll be back at 1:15.
Did you see Miller pick up that piece of paper and put it in his pocket? That was my paper. He's not a trustworthy guy.
Karl Kado, demented, making up something about giving money when there's snow out and it's august.
Clift no corroboration.
Emma Bell, Oh my god. In the most important of your own affairs, you have reasonable doubt.
You've paid great attention and I appreciate that. The government is going to ask you for a verdict. I'm going to ask you for a verdict. Not guilty on all counts. Let Mr. Kilpatrick go home with his wife and kids. Thank you.
Court is in session. Thomas says if Bobby Wanted to give Kwame money he could have just called him up and said come on over and get it. That Mahlon Clift testified he brought it through airport security is incredible.
You heard the agent say he brought money through the security machines. But you didn't see that test. The money didn't go through any airport check point. How do I know that. Jensen, the guy that did the test, didn't put the money in his gym shorts, he put it under his belt. I'm a TSA guy I see a bulge like that I'd take him to a check point. I showed you that tape, the government didn't show you that I did.
Are you going to walk in that line knowing you had 90,000 in his pocket. Nobody is going to do that. It doesn't make sense, we have better sense than to buy that.
He got a ticket from Chicago to Texas, Texas to Detroit, no evidence of an airplane ticket. He said he stayed at the Antheneum, where the corroboration?
And why would Mahlon Clift do this. Seems to me when he was given an immunity agreement, he was being questioned but then the questioning stopped. He got his mom on the phone... and then came up with a magical story.
You have a lot of reasons to doubt this case, I've given you evidence of gifting that the government ignored, the three pillars, witnesses, reasons for you to think.
What is reasonable doubt, it's fair doubt, the kind of doubt that makes you hesitate in the most important of your own affairs. So you don't judge what it is in a vacuum. 11It's personal.
You heard about all the directors giving gifts, Kizzi giving 25 dollars, McPhail saying she gave 1000. The government completely ignored gifts. Mikhail's testimony was un-refuted. How can you get around that when trying to prove beyo9nd reasonable doubt. I said the investigation was flawed.
Judge Edmunds asks him if this is a good place for a short break. He says he can. And the jury is allowed to leave..
You heard Erik Rayford says the Board decided to give Kwame money because he was in need, for his moving expenses because he was now out of work.
You heard about the LaCosta Resort, the government made a big deal out of this. He's the Mayor, his wife is the first lady, his children went with him. I asked Agent Paszkiewicz why they showed that Kwame signed a contract. When I asked here under oath if he signed it she said yes. On the next day, there's no signature from Kwame Kilpatrick, willful perjury? Or mistake. And if it is why are we not holding the board to the civic fund to a higher standard?
We heard from Ron Sauer that he had no expert knowledge of 501-4. We heard Leeman who was eminently qualified, got sick couldn't come back. He's better now. We heard from the government expert, the independent opinion about what Sauer said or couldn't say. But he wasn't independent because he's working for the government. He didn't have independence but rubber stamped the investigation. Said he was a certified fraud examiner but he had to eat that the next day. He was suspended two years earlier.
There are times in this case when the government has extended the case too far.
You have agents that have gotten chippy, argumentative, pushed back. Remember the number of times I asked Sauer about gifts. If there is gifting going on that's a sign. Is the advocacy, motive. Those exhibits about cash receipts, that he spent more than his income, that's a flawed analysis. Leeman talked about science, he did science.
Thomas says Carlita's banking wasn't considered. Is that scientific. Sauer said to you he had no evidence of gifting. Sauer went to check on Marvel Cheeks birthday party, by the way there was a civic function to that. For the civic fund to be criticized for trying to make that a civic function. That's the same place he had the splash of red. There were 1500 people. You do the math. I don't want to do it again because I don't want to get into trouble.
Thomas moves on to the civic Fund. All the things you see in the original articles and the restated articles you have the bills from William Phillips, you have the bills, look at the bills, especially May of 2001. And when that news splash happened about Rutherford. I think you'll see bills relating to meetings, that Berg thought he was working for the campaign, but this was a civic fund issue. Why is this important? As it was for the Cadillac, other stuff. Gary Leeman said you can apportion different things for the fund. Kwame resigned as head of the fund.
When they says Kwame used the fund for his own purposes I want you to consider between 2002 and 2008 the government is talking about 13,000. If you look at this graph you can see the donor contributions were 1.7 million and total Kwame expenses were 13,000. These were alleged person expenses, .79%. for a person who did not take a salary, who did now claim expenses. For a guy who was a figurehead. (So I guess it's okay to steal if the amount is just a small percentage of the whole, eh?)
Miller had 5 meetings with the government where he denied knowing about Kwame took money. He's another bought and paid for witness, trading his freedom.
And what was he thinking about. Not his family, enlightenment? Hogwash.
And saying he wasn't a Christian any more. More hogwash. He says he gave Kwame money. The Asian village thing. Why send someone out to get money. So he wouldn't be seen. But he knows there are cameras at Asian Village. So he calls Kwame and says come to the restaurant? Come on. Are you kidding me? It doesn't make sense, it doesn't hold water, it didn't happen. He's the guy who can set people up to take the fall... and he's trying to do it with Kwame Kilpatrick.
And I don't know why Mr. Bullotta mentioned John Rutherford. He testified says he gave money to a fund controlled by Kwame but that's not true, they conceded that. ( It was a fund with a similar name and the government had to make that correction late in the trial.)
Says he bought suits, I asked him, was it force or did you expect remuneration he said no. Where is the crime?
And gifting? When the government says they have no evidence of gifting...
There's only three casinos in Detroit. You know he had no chance of getting a casino license.
And when they show you newspaper clipping where Kilpatrick says he's running for election and he doesn't want casinos and then he talks about expansion at Cobo hall that's a different thing.
I think the government played fast and lose with the text messages and that's something you can hold against them.
The government showed you what Emma Bell did with the money. I'm not trustworthy with math so I'll let you do it. This document prepared By agent Sauer shows what Bell did with her money. Bell had a problem with gambling, she kept the money. Spending on a daily basis at the casino.
That Emma Bell. She the first pillar. She could cry crocodile tears then freeze me with a stare, she's not a person who is credible.
Karl Kado, look at this letter from the Government. You're in trouble. He got a lawyer, three lawyers. Now you tell me, does that convey the message that the government wants something from him. Come in to talk, and he did. Do you think in the 50 calls he made to the government, why 50 calls, why 12 meetings. They already had the hammer. Those calls, those meetings, were to mold the testimony you heard. And god love him, he's an older guy, sat there so proper, he couldn't remember he gave money during the election, maybe that was lack of memory, maybe it was a bribe. Maybe he was trying please the government.
This man is a confused person, he's already earned his get out of jail free card. I feel somewhat sorry for him, but he tells you he gave money when there was ten inches of snow on the ground and it was August... Karl Kado, no a witness to be believed.
That's the second pillar.
Derrick Miller, took time answering the questions, to make sure he didn't get caught in any lies. But we caught him in a lot of lies. Remember hearing he went rogue and didn't show up a cabinet meetings. Jones Lang LaSalle was making side deals with him. He was looking for a big commission from Shumake. This had nothing to do with the job he was being paid for... and I submit noting to do with Kwame Kilpatrick.
He was able to get a big attorney to falsify documents for the Grand Jury. He was able to get people to perjure themselves.
Thomas says he thinks Emma Bell is a tough cookie who shed crocodile tears. She didn't pay income tax for 20 years. She his a large amount of money from the IRS. She was getting paid and paid very well. She was crafty, and you should look at that to see if she's credible.
She talked her banker into giving her untraceable bank checks. She traded 20 years of deceiving the IRS for her testimony. I think you can determine Bell's testimony in other ways. There is absolutely no corroboration she exchanged Money with Kwame. It's just her word.
Emma Bell had Money, Kwame had money, so the government says he got it from her.
Donald trump has a lot of money, Kwame was paying cash on his credit cards, the young man at the bank didn't think that was unusual. This is an instance where the government wants you to connect the dots.
We know Emma Bell had a problem with Gambling. We saw the record from the casino. She put into play 175,000 in 2005... lists her debts including 803,000 in 2008. That's an interesting year because Bell says she didn't have any income that year, she lost 82.000 that year. Did she really give Kwame money or did she lose it at the casino.
The government showed you a text between Beatty and Kilpatrick. She 'S giving them 50 percent of her fund raising. Kwame has a vested interest in her fund raising and he asks Chris for her phone number. He doesn't even have her phone number.
Here's a text from Dedan Milton saying Emma wanted to stop in later … What should I tell her. This may or may not have been in relation to a phone call. But they didn't who her this. Reply from Mayor: "tell her to come to Chris's office." Why, remember they told you she'd go the secret meeting room and pull money out of her bra. If Emma Bell is going to give secret money to Kwame why is he sending her to Chris's office. Why isn't he sending her to the barber chair room. I'll tell you why, because she didn't go into the barber chair room.
This is on the government. They didn't tell you, this is on them.
Court is back in session. Thomas says he has one more thing to talk about contract 1368. He says Bernard Parker was interviewed before by agents and Parker ran through the emails saying his business was worried about getting paid. Says he showed him the special administrative order, do you remember what his response was, he said wow, and why did you says wow. It was the first time he saw it. You can imagine he saw everything else, he didn't see this, the government didn't show this document to him because it didn't fit the government's theory, so you could believe that Kwame Kilpatrick wasn't being a good Mayor. We heard that wow, it was kind of an aha moment.
I talked to you about challenging the investigation. Which brings me to the next part.
The government is relying on 3 witnesses about money. Three pillars on a shaky foundation. Emma Bell, Derrick Miller, and Karl Kado. Who got in trouble on their own. They were facing prosecution and had a motive for implication Kwame Kilpatrick.
In my view they are bought and paid for witnesses. The currency, the hope of freedom and to trade their freedom for that of Kwame Kilpatrick.
They are concerned about what's in it for me. What is it that I can bargain for so I can get myself out of trouble.
Judge Edmunds asks Thomas to take a break. Thomas asks if it can be ten minutes. Okay. Back in ten.
You heard from Kim Harris, hearsay testimony, that his dead Boss in Human Rights, told him to de-certify DLZ. There was certainly evidence that it was not a Detroit Based or headquartered business, and didn't satisfy the minority requirement.
You heard him says his boss told him the mayor told him to do it. The dead guy is not here to testify and that's not fair, but the judge let it in. The government is trying to lay the foundation that a de-certification was requested and there was something wrong with that. That there was no de-certification process.
You heard from Sharon McPhail says there was a de-certification process.
You heard Bernard Parker says that based on rumors and innuendo that a contract was dead and the Mayor was responsible.
See the signature of Victor Mercado, (contract 1368) We talked about the contracting process, one through City Council and one through the Special Administrator. This was going through Council. You sees all the signatures, even the finance department in Feb. 2006. And council approved it in April. You saw emails claiming Kwame sat on this contract, but quite to the contrary, you'll see a special administrative order was entered within 4 days of the email claiming the contract was being held.
And on 12.23.05 you heard that the recount was canceled, and we know while Kwame was fighting for his political life he wasn't certain he was going to be Mayor in 2006. So what happens, right after Kwame wins he signs the contract, just f4 days after the email complaining about it. Kwame didn't sit on the contract.
Now, a crime? Or responsible government?
When Tony Soave took the stand... we heard about pass throughs, where most of the money goes back to the suburbs. When Kwame Kilpatrick said Charlie Williams wasn't the right guy for the job, a guy with no equipment, he was head of DWSD but he wasn't out there digging wholes. If you're the mayor of Detroit it's important to make sure the job gets done on time.
Kwame was looking for a new chief of police, had the police consent judgment going on, a lot of things for a new mayor who was only 31. You gotta see what Judge Feikens said at the end of Kwame Kilpatrick's tenure. Remember in Chutkow's opening statement when he said Kwame was fired. Look at the document from Judge Feikens, when you go through the documents judge Feikens says good progress is being made, the DWSD is in compliance, is making steady profess toward the end of the court's over-site. Is this someone the Judge had questions about or someone the judge lauded.
Water and sewage rates are reported to be the lowest in the nation.
Says Mr. Kilpatrick has been criticized about his text message with Bobby. We don't have the benefit of messages from Tony Soave, or others.
Regarding politics, you want to hear from your constituents. It's responsible government.
Mr. Kilpatrick didn't just meet with Bobby but because of the text message we only see what we see. Some of it is embarrassing, some not well thought out.
The government has the ability to listen to your most private thoughts. While the government might argue about these being the defendants true feelings, I had a lot of conversations with witnesses about what the inflection of words meant. Says Rob Schneider on Saturday night live could say Dude 50 different ways. Words alone without any follow up, you have to consider if that satisfies the governments heavy, very heavy burden.
we're living in a city that's a shell. If you have people who are working here and living here they're going to pay taxes here and spend their money here. So when the government show you that a contractor lost a contract because of equalization credits that's misleading.
There is a higher purpose than just saving money.
Thomas launches into a story about his high school friend now Prosecutor Tom Ryan, and watching his fellow lawyer make deals for defendants. Says because he was his friend his client could not get a deal. This case is the same. There's some of that going on with this case.
This case is about 11 contracts, mostly DWSD contracts. Do you remember what Gerald Latimer said, 40 to 60 contracts a years are let, and we're only talking about 11. There are hundreds of contracts left.
So now Thomas wants to talk about the climate of fear. That the judge has taken the position that a person can testify about what their perception was.
It kind of sticks in my craw when a guy worth millions comes in and says he had fear of financial loss. That doesn't make sense to me.
Hardiman and Rachmale came in and complained about losing a contract. Says I don't know if you remember my testimony, I mean my cross examination, but it showed the city of Detroit reserves the right to cancel a contract at any time. (As I recall, Thomas had been admonished at one point for testifying rather that asking questions.)
5 million, 10 million, for a contract that they planned on but had no right to expect. I have another equation for you 8 million, 157 million. They got to bid on the next one. They took that business from 8 million to 157 million dollars. Those guys are victims?
The guy made 157 million dollars. Was it logical what he said.
Thomas said we heard from a witness who said one thing in the grand jury then changed her story and downplayed Carlita's role at the Sherrard School. Carlita was prepared, highly motivated, and worked hard.
That witness told you she had a relative that worked for team investigating the Mayor, and that may have been a reason for her to change her story.
Thomas says it's a slap in the face to hear this about a women who offered to work for free after the grant fell through.
We heard about power and responsibility a lot in this case. But the witnesses from the state said while it may have been an ethical problem we heard it may not have been a legal issue. There was no crime here as it relates to the state grants.
It's smug on the part of the government to assume that Carlita would not be able to buy food or clothes from her wages and she earned that money and it's entirely proper to take a salary for work.
Thomas says regarding the RICO Offense, talking to a friend, otherwise innocent conduct, and look to a purpose, says he can says if he looked at it that way it could be proved. He says in his argument he's going to talk about Higher intentions, born on the cross examination.
Your heard testimony that Bobby Ferguson was good and what he did, that he had staff and equipment, you heard that mostly on examination.
If you were the Mayor and on the hook for the work, you'd want someone to do it who you could rely on, who you knew could do the work.
And remember Kwame had to answer to Judge Feikens.
Judge Edmunds, "Mr. Thomas."
Kwame's Attorney greets the jury, acknowledges the audience and says he finds it remarkable that after the witnesses were cross examined the story was different. He thanks the jury for their patience and hard work for so many months. Tells the jury that they are the ones who will decide the facts, it will be their decision to decide if the government has proven its case beyond a reasonable doubt.
Thomas says his client has been demonized by the media. That the jury should come to a conclusion based on the evidence. That when he asks a question and a witness agrees with him that's something to consider.
Kwame is presumed to be innocent his wife and kids are in the court room this morning. He's a father, a son, a man, who deserves your consideration.
Thomas says a lot of this case will depend on the credibility of witnesses. We've seen witnesses who have tried to spin questions sideways and not answer the questions.
Thomas says he wants to start out with the state arts grant, it was funded when Governor... Engler wanted to get his budget passed.
Says his client Kwame Kilpatrick as democratic leader of the house had the ability to help get the budget passed. That it's like making sausage, it's not a pretty process.
Says he's going to says a lot of bad things about Derrick Miller but Miller did says it was never intended that Carlita would participate as a contractor, it was after the contract was awarded that Bishop Van brought her in.
We heard that she did do work at the school and it was an important and helpful role.
It looks like a large contingent of Kwame's family has shown up to show their support this morning. I thought I saw Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick and perhaps at least one sister in the gallery. Kwame just turned and waved to them. His wife Carlita and his kids are also in the gallery, the whole family.
"All Rise" Judge Edmunds says some of the jurors have switched places, to be close to the door because one or two are not feeling well.
Judge Edmunds tell Thomas to be aware of a good spot to take a break. He says he has about two and a half hours of material.
So how can the defense team pull a rabbit out of their hat this morning. If you heard M.L. Elrick on Fox 2 News the last few days you'll have heard that first they need to bring the hat. He's got a great view of the trial from the court room and his takeaway on MyFoxDetroit.com today looks at how the defense team can counter the government's claims, like ignoring the advice from the lead defendant and letting the lawyers take the helm.
The court room upstairs is already starting to fill with spectators. The regulars, the court watchers Eddie and Roy, went up early to get a seat. Yesterday the Marshals were turning people away from the court room there were so many people trying to get in.
Good Morning from the Theodore J. Levin Federal Court House in downtown Detroit. It's the defense teams turn for closing arguments. This Morning Kwame Kilpatrick's attorney Jim Thomas will take the stage. He's first up for defense team closing arguments.

Testimony came to a halt Wednesday as settlement talks resumed at the wrongful death trial of Connecticut College student Elizabeth Durante.
No settlement had been reached as of 5 p.m., when Hartford Superior Court closed for the day. Jurors were told to report to court today.
Keith and Kathleen Durante, the parents of the 20-year-old aspiring medical student who died in a head-on collision on Interstate 395 on March 6, 2009, are suing the owners and backers of the Ultra 88 nightclub at Mohegan Sun for negligence and recklessness.
Navy sailor Daniel Musser had consumed several beers and mixed drinks at the club before exiting the wrong way out of a casino parking garage, entering the highway in the wrong direction and colliding head-on with a van carrying Durante and her friends to Logan Airport in Boston.
Three other students and the van driver had also sued the nightclub but settled their cases during jury selection.
The Durantes' attorney, Robert I. Reardon Jr., had questioned Ultra 88 bartender Sarah Webster for several hours while showing surveillance photos of her serving drinks to Musser when the settlement talks resumed between the plaintiffs and attorneys for Plan B LLC, the Lyons Group and Patrick Lyons, the managing shareholder and permittee of the club.
Musser had been celebrating his 24th birthday at the casino. After consuming beer, mixed drinks and vodka and tequila shots, Webster ordered him ejected from the casino.
Musser slept in his car for about an hour before leaving the casino and causing the crash. His blood alcohol level was 0.13 percent after the crash, according to police. The legal limit for driving is 0.08. He pleaded guilty to second-degree manslaughter and is serving a 75-month prison sentence.
In his opening statement to jurors Wednesday, Scott Behman, attorney for the nightclub, said that Musser was "stone sober" when he left the club and held up a picture of him that he said was taken moments before he left the club. He said there was not "one shred of evidence" to prove the club had acted recklessly.
Reardon had obtained Musser's receipts from the bar along with the surveillance footage. He asked Webster, the bartender, whether she had followed the procedures she learned during drinking safety courses. She denied selling Musser shots of tequila while he was still consuming a beer and said she didn't notice any changes in his behavior.

Oh Mandy noooo I'm so very sorry hon.
I'm sorry Mandy. I'll be thinking of you.
Best of luck tomorrow, Erin!
"Any idiot can face a crisis; it is this day-to-day living that wears you out." -Anton Chekhov
Mandy. I hope you are wrong.
Mandy, I'm so sorry.
Best of luck Erin.
Shelley-mom to DS, 6
Oh Mandy, I am so heartbroken for you. I did a mini-stalk and saw that you were not on progesterone. Are you going to try again? If so will your RE give you some progesterone supplements? I am just so angry that this is happening to you and want so much for you to get your LO.
And sorry about your car too. Car trouble stinks and it always seems to happen while one is going through something else, seemingly to build upon the frustration of an already frustrating situation. I'm having some issues with my van right now. When I turn on the defroster, I think some fluid is leaking under the hood as it started billowing smoke. Luckily it is running though.
Hugs to you! I also hope you are wrong. But if you are right, I hope you are able to give it another go.
Thanks, Erin. I am going to try again but first I want to let my thyroid hormones level out again. Next time around I will insist on the progesterone, too. I've been bleeding pretty heavily so as far as I'm concerned I'm out. Thanks for commiserating about my car, too. It does seem like ths cars know when to break down, doesn't it?
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
Mandy, I think that when you're ready your RE should work up a plan with this drug you took the last time. Maybe combined with progesterone or whatever else might help your little bean stick. Will you be trying to determine the cause of this loss with the RE?
It's ok if you don't want to share. I only ask out of concern but also will respect your privacy if that's what you need.
Our cars are conspiring against us. I didn't even check in with my brother today. I know he listed 3-4 things he could try, but that he also has to work to earn money so...if he had been able to fix it, it would have been in front of my house when I got home. I've decided to take Friday morning off and spend it playing a circus monkey for the DMV and jump through all the hoops they set before me and get the VW registered so I can use that in the interrum.
I'm not worried about privacy. I'm just angry and frustrated and it's just so much effort to talk about it. I'll get over it. Not sure what the plan will be but the RE doesn't seem to know what my problem is. Likely in this case it is my thyroid again. So angry because I thought we had that under control.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
I feel so disappointed for you, Mandy. I'm truly sorry. I hope what they say is true, and your body is "sorting it out" as you get progressively closer to fulfilling your wish. I do feel heartbroken, as Erin says. *Big huge, squeezy hug.*
Savana sounds a bit like DH's brother, who does have OCD. He doesn't like feeling constricted by clothing, particularly in the cold months. I've had to ask him to put his seatbelt back on while in the car because he doesn't like the way it feels against him. He's the one you'll find in shorts and a t-shirt when it's blizzarding. So I hope it isn't SAD, but an extension of her already existing compulsions. There are a couple herbs I'd read about that are good for compulsive behavior - although you'd need an herbalist or naturopath to guide you on dosage and such for Savana; they're Ashwagandha and Rhodiola (helped along with Green Tea, I've also read). I have used Rhodiola myself as an adaptogen for long distance bike races. I felt clearer in the head and it definitely gave me more stamina, so I myself felt the need to get better guidance from my naturopath on usage to make sure I wasn't overdoing anything. I'm just throwing that out there, Bridget, in case you're looking for naturopathic solutions.
You and Erin's caulking stories have inspired me to seal the area around the base of my toilet with a caulk strip. We put in a floating pergo floor last year to cover the ugly old one, and the raw edges of the flooring where they meet the toilet are unsightly. I'm probably the only one who notices them, but it'll feel good to know I got that done. Thanks for the motivation!

Not me....this Wisconsin girl is staying put. We did apply for a few jobs in cali years ago but found at least in our fields that the pay didn't make up for the increase in housing. We didn't apply for many. I do have a uncle out there...he's between Sacramento and Reno I think...right before the mountains.
I don't like the snow and whine about driving in it, but I need the seasons to change.
If we ever had to leave WI, I think that we would have minnesota as a top choice as well as Vermont.
DH had interviewed for some jobs in Philly and New Jersey right as I did mine....I got the offer first so we took it but had he gotten his first, we would have been in Jersey for the awful storm. Hurricanes and earthquakes scare me....probably because I have never experienced either. Give me a blizzard anyday over those! Even a bad one only takes like two days to dig out and since our power lines are so much newer and less demand, power loss is rare and usually short.
I'd move to Cali, for sure! After suffering through 10 English winters, I'll gladly give up the cold weather! I have a touch of OCD myself and hate things like coats, scarves and gloves. I cannot wear gloves at all for the way they make me feel, so I often have very cold painful fingers!
Mandy, I am so sorry to hear your news. I feel so upset for you; I wish there were more comforting words to say. :'(
Oh my gosh, I cannot imagine living without scarves and gloves! I made my current scarves and I like them extra wide and long so I can wrap it over my head like a hat and over my face. Breathing in cold air is something that can irritate my asthma so I have to watch that.
And I like gloves, they are kind of stylish looking with a nice wool coat. I just don't like when my thin leather ones aren't enough. I have a pair that are heavy duty adult mittens that I can use for extreme cold or if I'm out shoveling snow.
It's not uncommon for us to have many days, especially in Jan. when we don't even get above 0 and that is before wind chill. So no gloves would mean frostbite within minutes. The good thing is that cold usually means super sunny days with the prettiest blue skies we get all year.
We had enough snow on election day on the grass at least that DH was able to make snowballs and he was throwing them at Molly. LOL She was like what the heck is this stuff? She was so little last winter and got cold easily and we didn't get the electric fence installed until the spring so she wasn't outside in the snow much at all.
Cosmo likes the cold (to a point) and Molly likes heat....if she is being too feisty, I turn the fireplace on and she will go lie in front of it and just chill out watching the flames until she falls asleep.
My relatives just got to my house and I'm still at work. Boo. I would try to leave early but I think DH, his mom and uncle are going to nap after their drive up and DH because he worked last night so hasn't slept yet. But I'm off tomorrow and we are doing an early Thanksgiving this weekend.
I've been reading that book on spirited children, and that's one of the things it mentions-having a problem with the texture of clothes. Tags on the backs of shirts, seams on socks, a loose thread, etc. It's because they are more sensitive. I know Savana is a very sensitive child emotionally, maybe she also physically sensitive. Josh gets all panicky at warm water, he says it's hot.
I think a lot of people are sensitive about clothes-DH feels choked when he wears turtlenecks. He kicks off his shoes the second he gets in the house. Me, I don't care. I wear my clothes and usually shoes right up until I'm about to go to bed and then I put on pajamas. I'm even suffering through a pair of too small pants today. I need to go shopping LOL
Mandy, again, I'm so heartbroken for you.
I would totally welcome a California migration along with Mylah. Come join us!
I found a trick to caulking is to slightly wet a gloved finger while doing it to smooth the caulk down and decrease any bubbles or irregularities. It also seems to help the adherence.
It looks like we are moving after all. In 3 weeks I have to pack up our whole house and get everything done, and then by the end of December I have to get our place ready to sell. DH and my realtor came up with a brilliant plan of asking the sellers if they would be willing to offer us a lease with option to buy, and they were. This gives us a chance to move out of our house and sell it while it's empty. The sellers have rent money to tide them over, and a hefty fee if we don't end up buying it at the end of this. We get to live in the house we love, with a contract we agreed to that we can engage any time in the next six months. We just have to pay double (rent and mortgage) until our house sells. But now I have so much to do, and things like my MIL coming up to visit over Thanksgiving and a friend from out of town who wants to visit on Saturday "but only for 7 hours."
Wow, L! I'm so happy for you guys! It sounds like your new house will be awesome for your family!
L Congrats but that is crazy for company to expect to be coming! Any chance you can get off work for a bit to help with having time to pack and move? Are you at least hiring movers to bring the stuff from one place to the other? (best thing we did last move....we packed and unpacked but they did the actual moving of most of the stuff....we moved our art and things that were very special to us).
Jennifer, your weekend plans sound lovely. I hope you have an enjoyable time.
Wow L...I'm both happy and anxious for you! That's a LOT to accomplish in such a very short time, but definitely well worth it. I'm glad the sellers were receptive to the rent-with-option-to-buy idea!
I told him I couldn't do an all-day activity because I had too much packing to do, but I could do something for a short time. I know 7 hours isn't all day, but it sure seems like almost all day compared to most of the outings I take the kids on.
It's really difficult dealing with people who want to do stuff with us. My MIL and this friend and his son, both of them haven't seen us in a long time. Both of them know we're busy. Both of them are special and think they should be the exceptions to us not committing to social events. They don't know that other people are doing the same thing.
And I can't work less. I've been asked to work extra since one of my co-workers is flying to Germany tomorrow unexpectedly because her father is dying, and another one just asked for six weeks of medical leave. The past three days I've worked overtime and had no lunch and no breaks on two of those days. I came home starving and cranky. The other day I got my lunch break after I'd been at work for 7 1/2 hours.
Congrats on the house L!!!
I would probably have told the friend not to come. But I just had a discussion with my mom once again about how mean I am - like her mom lol, so one may not want to take my advice.
I also did pretty well on the GRE. I got a 160 on the Verbal and I do think I could have done better if I'd not focused on math, but what's done is done and that is a pretty good score. I felt like I aced the writing portions so I am hoping I got at least a 5.5 or 6, which is the highest score. People have to read the responses so I didn't get an automatic score for writing like the others.
And Bridget, in caulking, I just have a light hand, that is my trick. I don't get all the way close, but not too far away to where it is all dripping. I also use my fingers to touch it up and keep a wet cloth, usually one of Elle's old CDs to make sure there is no mess and everything looks neat. I love to caulk! You reminded me that now that it is getting kind of chilly here that I need to check the windows to see if they need caulking.
L, I am so glad you found a way to get the house after all. I know you will make it happen in the time that you have.
I found out recently they may be moving us to a different site at work. I'm a little terrified they will lose all my stuff in the move - it has happened before. But a real building that doesn't look like a derelict trailer park would be nice.
Erin, I knew you would do well on the GRE. Do they have a new scoring system? When I took it I think scores were 200-800 like the SAT. How do the scores work now?

Mandy, it looks like they did change them in August 2011 http://www.ets.org/gre/revised_general/scores I do hope your work doesn't lose your stuff. How soon are they thinking this is going to happen?
Congrats Erin! You did very well!!
L, your work situation sounds like a nightmare. I know you'll pull it off, but it is sure to be an exhausting period.
Speaking of moves at work, we had 2 or 3 high level people quit and that started a mass re-organization of just about everybody in my building. Which means we're moving people. Lots of people. On top of everything else. We're expected to move entire departments to different floors. I'm not really looking forward to this at all. I still have 11 XP machines to replace, plus the new hires that come in (2 next week), and my mac guy that I've been dealing with for weeks now will need to be migrated to his mountain lion laptop as soon as ML becomes an officially supported OS by Cornell. So, any day now.
The Exchange team is gearing things up to migrate us to Office 365 (hence my need to get rid of all XP machines prior to that), and they've been making system changing in the background to prepare for this. 2-3 weeks ago, we found out that the conference rooms were still sending the "accepted" email when the admin assists scheduled the room, but the room remained open and available for others to over-book the room. It's taken me a week and a half to get CIT to own up to it (I suspected all along), and now there's a nightmare of figuring out who should be the owner, who should have what access to which rooms, and CIT is dragging their feet and telling me that they can't give me a time for when this can be done. The management tool has already been switched over, so we can SEE these settings (if we have access rights), but we can't change them. Oh, and the real kicker is the 'owner' of those resources no longer works for us and hasn't in a while. So the admin assist that's supposed to be the owner can't even look at the current settings for the conference rooms to see who has what access. :/ I'm caught in the middle and I know at some point the admin assists are gonna start giving me flack because they're getting kinda tired of scheduling meetings just to find the rooms already in use when they get there.
Sorry about the long rant...it was just one of those days. And I don't know how to be succinct. Since this job is just too too much, and it only took 8.5 months to make me cry from being so overwhelmed, I think I'm going to start looking for another position. I really don't think this is a good fit for me...much as I love my coworkers.
Did you guys see this https://my.barackobama.com/page/shar...20121108_jm_nd
Obama got genuinely emotional. I didn't think it was possible to love him more, but I do.
Oh Chrissy big hugs to calm all your stress. I wish you luck on finding a new position, it seems like they are just being irrational in a lot of ways with the way you describe your work situation. They don't think they need to hire a few more people? Unfortunately, it sounds like my job.
And Mandy, like Chrissy linked, they did change the scoring of the GRE. It is now from 130-170 for both Verbal and Math sections and 1-6 for writing. I got a 150 on math, which was MUCH better than I thought I would get. I was worried I would get a 130, the lowest score lol. Even though I used to be really good at math, one forgets all those formulas and equations when they aren't in weekly use. I worked my way up to exponents and general algebra and left it at that. Plus the new test is computer based and they don't just give you random questions to answer like the old test. They are based on your knowledge level, so in areas where you excel they will give you harder problems and you may get a higher score due to knowing how to do more advanced problems. It also isn't as long as it once was with the endless questions - that's what other people tell me anyway. I finished everything with no problems and had 5-10 minutes left after each section to go back over and review everything. I think I second guessed myself in the Verbal section and changed a few correct answers and I keep thinking about it and kicking myself. But really in all the schools I want to apply, the average for Verbal and Analytical Writing (those are the only two they really look at since it is a liberal arts focus) are 154 and up and 5-6 for writing - except Columbia where you have to get a 5-6 writing and 95th percentile for Verbal, which I didn't get but most of the schools, including Columbia do not base admission soley on GRE scores or GPA and from the people I talked to the personal statement and recommendations are more important than the test. At a couple schools - Emory and UPenn, they even said they just want to make sure applicants are in the 70th percentile for Verbal and 4.5 and up for writing, which shocked me a little. So I should be good. I am hoping my professors give me some stellar recommendations and one of the schools said for us applicants who have been out of school for a while, we could also have someone who knows our work to provide a letter so I am going to ask my old boss, who I adore and who is a great friend of mine and who I know would give me an excellent recommendation.

Put your transmitter site on Twitter
By now you've seen that Radio magazine has pages on Facebook and Twitter. Sites such as these are continue to gain in popularity. For some people, it's easy to spend an entire day just surfing other people's listings (I'm not one of them, by the way).
It seems there's more to these sites than just posting that you are going to take a shower or post the pics of a recent drunken outing. Some companies are offering applications to alert the users about things happening at home, such as a plant needing water or that the washing machine has finished.
Personally, I take an active part in my life to know that my plant needs water. I also know that I'm doing laundry at a given time, so it's not a problem to remember that I have to do something with the wet mass of fabric.
Regardless, an article in Wired discusses some of these uses. Post a message to Twitter and turn off the house lights. Why not set it so a posted message will switch to the backup STL?
There are some security issues obviously, but I suppose there could be a practical use in there somewhere.
