Yeah, I haven't posted as frequently as usual lately because as much as I love the Giants sometimes real life must come first.
I'm writing this without having read the boards since the Atlanta loss. Some might call me a homer and some others might call me an ******* but I always speak what I believe in my heart to be the true.
I just want to send a heads up to the fantasy football players out there: If Eli Manning is on your roster...start him this week. Im sure there are safer bets more "consistent" quarterbacks out there but I promise Eli will have a big game sunday.
That is all.
Quoth The Burier....Never more.

Tokyo has been put on notice that Canberra's support for Japan's unprecedented monetary policy easing – which has triggered claims of a global currency war – may depend on Prime Minister
Treasury secretary
"You don't need to get very much of Japan's capital outflows . . . to see we would find ourselves in a very tricky situation," Dr Parkinson said.
A shift in sentiment away from home markets by Japanese investors – who are on the receiving end of a dramatic money surge caused by quantitative easing – could put renewed upward pressure on the Australian dollar, hurting industries such as car makers.
Dr Parkinson's pointed comments on Thursday coincided with renewed turmoil on Japan's stock and bond markets after Mr Abe on Wednesday said the northern autumn would be the earliest opportunity to unveil legislation for his growth strategy.
In a sign investors are growing jittery about the timing of his reforms, Japan's benchmark Nikkei dropped below 13,000 for the first time in two months.
Ten-year bond yields were around 0.855 per cent after tripling from a record low of 0.315 per cent on April 5 to 1 per cent on May 23 and Bloomberg News reported the Bank of Japan was split over whether to authorise a measure designed to quell the recent bond-market volatility, which threatens to derail recent economic gains.
Dr Parkinson added his voice to those calling on Japan's six-month-old Abe government to deliver a raft of so-called "third arrow" economic changes, which range from business to infrastructure deregulation.
"We are cautiously welcoming of their efforts [on monetary policy] – subject to them delivering on the third arrow and we won't know that for a little time to come," Dr Parkinson said.
Tumbling Japanese yen angers neighbouring economies
Mr Abe's reforms are designed to complement two other "arrows," the first being a large fiscal stimulus package and the second a radical monetary policy easing aimed at ending deflation and more than two decades of economic torpor.
Since Mr Abe's election, in November, through to late May, Japanese stocks have jumped more than 70 per cent and the yen has tumbled against most currencies, enraging neighbouring economies such as South Korea, which competes against Japanese exporters.
Australian Trade Minister
The comments contrast with Treasurer
"If that disappoints, the Japanese will find themselves on the receiving end of a pretty harsh judgment, both (at) market and political levels," he said.
He said Australia had a "consistently supportive" view of the US Federal Reserve's quantitative easing efforts.
"Part of the reason we're so comfortable in the US is because we're so confident in the supply-side responsiveness in the US economy. An economy that engaged in dramatic quantitative easing and did not make efforts to improve its supply-side flexibility, that is, improve the profitability of investing . . . could have consequences for Australia."
The dollar dropped as low as $US94.35¢ on Thursday, its weakest since October, 2011, extending a near 7 per cent decline since early last month.

FRESNO -- Being asked to deliver an encore performance following what many historians considered to be the greatest race produced by a high school girls' cross country runner might have been too lofty a request even for an immense talent like Sarah Baxter.
But the Simi Valley junior did her best to oblige Saturday, producing another record-setting race on one of the most prestigious courses in California.
After setting the all-time 2.94-mile Mount San Antonio College course record Oct. 20, Baxter demonstrated she was up to the challenge again five weeks later, posting the fastest time ever by a prep female on the 5-kilometer layout at Woodward Park.
Baxter clocked 16 minutes, 39.7 seconds to eclipse the standard of 16:43 set in 1996 by Santa Rosa's Julia Stamps and secure her third consecutive state championship, including a second Div. I title after a Div. II crown last season.
"It's really special. Whenever something like this happens, it means that much more," Baxter said. "It's definitely a relief. I'm really happy I was able to do it."
Buchanan's Hagen Reedy clocked 16:59 at the Clovis Invitational at Woodward Park on Oct. 6. But the reigning Div. I state champion found herself trailing Baxter at the mile mark and saw the gap continue to grow as the race progressed, finishing in 17:10.
"I knew (the first mile) was kind of fast, but I was doing the best I could at the time just to stay focused on running my own race," Baxter said.
"I was hoping that my legs and feet were moving fast enough to hold off the girls behind me. It's a long course and there aren't any (big) hills like Mt. SAC, but it's definitely not an easy course. That last mile was really tough."
Especially for Baxter's teammates, who were projected in second place by a one-point margin with one mile remaining, only to finish third with 153 points, trailing Great Oak's 57-point effort and St. Francis of Sacramento (115).
"They're a very young team and the upside is they're experienced now. Now they can build off that base," Simi Valley coach Roger Evans said. "The bottom line is they made it to the podium and that was the goal all along."
Charlotte Utash (18:22.3) was 23rd for the Pioneers, who didn't have another runner place in the top 50. Courtney Korven (18:52.0) took 53rd, Desirae Jones (18:56.0) was 61st and Samantha Tetef (19:04.5) finished 67th for Simi Valley, which placed fourth the past two seasons.
Desert Christian's Rachael Power improved from clocking 20:30 and finishing 47th at last year's Div. V state final to finish third in 18:40.6, the best performance by a female runner in program history at Woodward Park to help the Knights place fifth (189 points). Hannah Hagan (19:15.7) was 12th and Sofia Venema (19:36.6) took 18th for Desert Christian.
"It's a pretty cool feeling. I thought I got fifth, so I'm pretty pleased," Power said. "I was really scared about (the race) and was really nervous, but God got me through this race. I knew he would lead me to where he wanted me to go."
Malibu's Caroline Pietrzyk (18:34.1) was sixth to earn all-state honors in Div. IV, with La Reina taking fourth with 177 points, followed by Harvard-Westlake (204) in fifth, Paraclete (216) in sixth and Notre Dame (248) in eighth.
La Reina's Alyssa Frank (18:53.2) placed 12th and Harvard-Westlake's Trishta Dordi (18:58.8) took 13th, with La Reina's Ariana Brajkovich (19:13.0) finishing 17th, Notre Dame's Kazia Mermel (19:17.0) securing 20th and Paraclete's Melanie Fujiwara (19:19.7) placing 21st.
Sonja Cwik (18:45.0) was 15th and Anna Frederich (18:48.1) finished 18th for La Canada, which placed 11th in Div. III with 266 points.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I do not know how it stays together because the carpet covers it all sorryOriginally Posted by Ramona Byrd
I checked online and found several free plans. My husband wanted to build our cats one. When he saw the materials list, he had a fit. "this will be too expensive to build!!" I told him to get online and check them himself. He liked the one that used an old step ladder. Shelves were added and everything was covered with carpet. He has the carpet and the ladder. His staples were too short to attach the carpet. He put the ladder in the garage for the cats anyway and they are enjoying the shelves with the carpet just laying on them. I doubt DH will bother with doing any more since they are happy. . .
I don't even HAVE a cat and I LOVE IT!~
Thanks Mowiegirl, I finally found these pics. Thanks for the dimensions. I will try to make up some sort of diagram/pattern and share it with others if I can figure out how to. I'm guessing that the poles are either PVC pipes or carboard rounds (mailing tubes).Plywood landings/house. I will figure out the cheapest way to make them (because now my 2 "kids" want one too)
You CAN have one--think outside the box.
Check with a carpet store to see if they have any empty tubes that the rolls come on. Cheaper (I think) than PVC pipe would be cardboard 'forms' for concrete footers. If anyone has an old pet carrier, it could be covered inside and out.
A utility company wire spool would make a great base.
Plastic totes with one or two openings cut in could be fun.
Instead of 'rassling' carpet, wind rope or twine around the tube shapes.
C'mon folks. Yours doesn't have to look like the commercial ones--yours can be BETTER!

electric easement
13 years ago while I was on vacation my new neighbors crossed my property five feet to bury their electric line (which belongs to them not the electric company)and hooked up their meter box on my electric pole.
The electric company has a easement onto my property, but the neighbors do not. I have to dig a trench where their line is buried because of a flooding situation and their underground line is now in conflict with my property. They say I can not make them move it because they have been there 13 years. Do I have any rights? I live in oregon and there is electric poles on the road they can hook up to.
Thank you
- Is your neighbor's line in the electrical easement for your property? I was unclear by your post.
You may be up a creek. Your neighbor has had 'adverse possession' of an electrical easement on your property for more than the Oregon Statute requires (10 years) ORS 12.050. Start googling 'prescriptive easement' and 'adverse possession'.
Probably the easiest solution would be to offer to move your neighbor's line for them and give them an express easement.
There are a lot of statutory requirements that may or may not have been met you are best advised to talk to an attorney. The Oregon Bar Association will be able to refer you to someone.
I am licensed in OR, but no longer practice. If you are in the PDX area, PM me with some more details and I may be able to suggest someone for you to talk to.
and just to clarify; if samlock knew they did it at the time, there would be no question of it being open and notorious, at least to samlock. It's the situations where it is unknown to anybody but the desseisor that make me wonder.
Nap - the unhelpful but honest answer is 'open and notorious' is whatever the judge you are in front of on that particular day says it is. Corollary to this is the determination of what the judge had for breakfast.
OP has been put on notice somehow - or we wouldn't hear about it until after he cut the lines. Knowledge of covert or hard to determine use (like being 6 inches over the property line) makes it open use.
If OP is just now finding out, then he can make some legal arguments that might change the tolling of the statutory time limits. But if that is the case then he has to take action to stop the use. Hence, he should talk to an attorney.
Prescriptive easements are actually very hard to earn - lots of legal hoops must be jumped through. So it's possible the neighbor may have no rights.
It's time to spend some money talking to an attorney.
Maybe the threat of an attorney will get the wheels moving with the neighbor and the OP wont have to spend anything.
I would still consult an attorney first to know your legal rights on the situation. It's never good to threaten or bluff your neighbors considering you will be living next to them for years to come.

Flesh Eating Bacteria On The Rise. Colorado and Missouri

Clarification: Of the nine deaths in King County this year from necrotizing fasciitis, six were King County residents; of the 18 deaths in 2005, eight were county residents. A previous version of this story did not make clear that some of the fatalities were residents from outside who were transported to King County for treatment.
Man dies from flesh-destroying disease
By Sonia Krishnan
Seattle Times Eastside bureau
PREV of NEXT
Last Tuesday Ed Kopfman thought he had the flu. He saw a doctor on Friday; on Sunday he died from necrotizing fasciitis.
Last Tuesday, Ed Kopfman thought he'd come down with the flu. On Friday, he went to the doctor. By Sunday, the 47-year-old Kirkland father of two was taken to Harborview Medical Center and died that same day.
For those who knew Kopfman, the cause of death was even more shocking: necrotizing fasciitis, a rare condition also known as "flesh-eating bacteria."
"It's so unreal," his wife, Peggy Kopfman, said Wednesday. "We're all still in so much shock."
The bacterial infection took the lives of five King County residents from January to March 15 this year, and eight more in 2005, according to Public Health — Seattle & King County, citing data from the county Medical Examiner's Office.
Nationwide, statistics vary, but in 1999 the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported 600 cases of necrotizing fasciitis.
If caught early, chances of survival are high. Last month, for instance, 6-year-old Jacob Finkbonner of Ferndale contracted it after cutting his lip playing basketball. He was hospitalized at Children's Hospital & Regional Medical Center in Seattle, and his condition has been upgraded from serious to satisfactory.
The infection occurs when invasive forms of streptococcus bacteria enter the body — usually through a cut or opening in the skin — and quickly flourish between the muscle and deep connective tissues. The bacteria spread along these planes and give off toxins and enzymes that kill tissue.
National Necrotizing Fasciitis Foundation: www.nnff.org
"This seems to be an area of the body that's more susceptible to infection," said Dr. Craig Rubens, chief of Children's infectious-disease unit. "It destroys very rapidly."
Group A Strep, responsible for strep throat, is the most common strain of the infection. It's also the strain that killed Kopfman, according to the Medical Examiner's Office. About 20 percent of people carry the bacteria in their noses and throats, but few get symptoms, Rubens said.
Previous injuries, advanced age, chronic kidney failure or diabetes can make some people more vulnerable.
Intravenous drug users are at high risk, but the infection can strike anyone. Those with suppressed immune systems have a higher rate of mortality, Rubens said. In many cases, no direct cause can be identified, according to an article published last year in the British Medical Journal.
Doctors familiar with the disease are quick to point out that it is rare and does not present a public-health hazard because it's not easily transmitted from one person to another.
Part of the fear and misunderstanding stems from the name "flesh-eating bacteria," they say, which has spread panic disproportionate to the number of documented cases.
"The fact is, the bacteria that causes necrotizing fasciitis are very common in our environment" and rarely evolve into the worst-case scenario, said Dr. Jeff Duchin, director of communicable-disease control at Public Health — Seattle & King County.
But when it does happen, there are often no external clues. Patients will complain of intense pain with no visible signs on the skin, Duchin said. Complicating matters is that initial symptoms can mimic other ailments like the flu, he said.
"The problem is that it's a notoriously difficult diagnosis to make," Duchin said. "It can spread before it's recognized and, frequently, this diagnosis can only be made during surgery. Basically, you have to see how the deep tissue is inflamed."
Peggy Kopfman is struggling to understand how the disease struck her robust and healthy husband, a repairman by trade, who never shied away from heavy lifting or taking on complex carpentry projects.
After being misdiagnosed with shingles on Friday, he was admitted to Evergreen Hospital Medical Center's emergency room Saturday night when the pain on his left side wouldn't let up, she said.
The left side of his chest started to swell and bruise, she said. "It looked like someone beat him up," she said.
Doctors performed exploratory surgery and discovered the dead tissue, she said. They removed some, stabilized him and transported him to Harborview. In the time it took to get there, it had traveled down his arm and killed the tissue, Peggy Kopfman said.
The couple had been married 10 years.
"He was my rock," she said.

Vermouth: More Than Just A Mixer
What Classy Liquor Are
You Missing Out On?
Vermouth comes in two forms. Dry vermouth is associated with France, and sweet vermouth with Italy. Although it can be both red and white, all vermouth is made from white wines and the coloration comes from the legal addition of caramel.
Vermouth's historyItalian distiller Antonio Benedetto Carpono is widely credited with creating the first vermouth in 1786, when he blended white wine with herbs and named his new creation after a similar drink in Germany, which was infused with wormwood, for which the German word is "wermut." The drink was a huge success, and soon began to be exported all over Europe where other countries began to make their own versions.
Although the original purpose of adding herbs and spices was to mask the poor quality of inferior wines or to disguise the fact they were past their prime, now vermouths are made to an exacting standard that has made them a favorite with mixologists everywhere. However, they are more than just a mixer, and in Europe, vermouth is often served straight over ice to be sipped as an aperitif.
Vermouth is also an exotic and excellent cooking wine to use in certain recipes. Read on for AM's favorite vermouth cocktail recipes, and a few tricks to use vermouth in cooking.
Know your vermouthBut first, the brands. Here are the most common brands of vermouth that you can find at most liquor stores.

Dubonnet (French)
Lillet (French)
Cinzano Bianco (Italian)

Honda debuted hybrid sales with the first-generation Insight in late 1999. That model achieved fuel economy of about 80 miles per gallon on the Japanese test cycle, making the model the most fuel-efficient among any gas-powered vehicle at the time. Honda, which today sells seven hybrid models in 50 countries, will start selling the Acura ILX hybrid in North America this spring.
Last year, Honda sold almost 31,600 hybrids in the U.S.. That's down 5.9 percent from a year earlier and about one-sixth of what Toyota sold in the U.S. Honda's U.S. hybrid sales, like Toyota's, were believed to be hampered by supply issues stemming from the earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan last March.
By comparison, Toyota, the world's biggest maker of hybrids, sold its two millionth Prius hybrid worldwide in October 2010. Toyota introduced the Prius to Japan in 1997 and to Europe and North America three years later.
Honda Motor Co., Ltd. has announced that Honda's cumulative worldwide hybrid vehicle sales surpassed 800,000 units as of the end of December 2011. This milestone was reached 12 years and 2 months after the start of sales of the first generation Honda Insight in Japan November 1999, which delivered fuel economy of 35km/liter* then the world's highest fuel economy among all gasoline-powered vehicles.
Honda introduced the first generation Insight, Civic Hybrid and Accord Hybrid equipped with Honda's original lightweight and compact IMA (Integrated Motor Assist) hybrid system. More recently, following the introduction of the second generation Insight in 2009, Honda introduced a total of six new hybrid models in the last three years to expand the hybrid vehicle line-up and sales. Honda's annual worldwide hybrid sales for 2011 was approximately 200,000 units (up 30% compared to 2010), and Honda's total hybrid sales during the last three years exceeded 500,000 units. In Japan, the ratio of hybrid vehicles exceeded 45% of all new Honda vehicle registrations for the month of December 2011.
As of today, Honda sells seven hybrid models in approximately 50 countries around the world. In addition, the market introduction of the ILX, the first Acura brand model equipped with a hybrid system, is scheduled in spring 2012 in North America.
Under the global environmental slogan of "Blue Skies for Our Children", Honda will continue its efforts to realize the further market penetration of hybrid vehicles to realize a low carbon society

Re: How "Rank" Works in MP
I dont know why there is any question as to how this system works. It is the amount of weeks you have completed. Give or take a few days. Just pay attention to what day your level increases and it will change that day of every week you complete through the 12 weeks. For me, it is day 2 of every week that my # of weeks completed goes up.
Missions have nothing to do with it. Neither do any of the things people have been saying have to do with it. It is the weeks you have completed.

Why everyone keeps saying this without any proof is beyond me.
No it's NOT!
I was over a week ahead of a friend, although he kept being a level higher than me for yet another week we were playing together.
Why does everyone keep saying this?
A better question is why do YOU keep saying it's by missions? Everything I've played through has pretty much guaranteed that it's not missions.
I had a mission last night that I completed on Day 4 of the week. You know what happened? That's right, my rank DIDN'T increase. Want to know why? Yes, because my day of the week that my rank updates is the first. Every single week (I'm on week 8 right now) on this current playthrough, my rank has increased on Day 1.
It's different for everyone. Unless you have undeniable proof of it being missions (which you don't), then your argument is invalid. I have my own experiences happening multiple times AND I have an exact quote from a Naughty Dog Developer proving that it's by weeks.

The world is at war over natural resources. In the past three decades, one-third of the planet's natural resources base has been consumed, as cited in Natural Capitalism (1991) by Paul Hawken, Amory Lovins and L. Hunter Lovins. This is not just an issue for environmentalists but a global problem that calls us to take action.
After completing a month of my internship at the Seoul City Hall Resource and Recirculation Management Division in South Korea, I had quite an eye-opening experience. I visited recycling facilities, resource recovery centers, incineration facilities and resource centers to observe and record how Seoul is managing to recycle about two-thirds of its residential waste.
For comparison purposes, the United States' percentage of waste recycled, as noted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's "Municipal Wastes in the United States: 2009 Facts and Figures," is about one-third. In addition, about half of the 132 million tons of waste generated per year in the U.S. ends up in landfills, and most of that material is recyclable.
A Volume-Based Approach
Along with economic growth, waste generation increased significantly in South Korea in the 1980s to 2000s. Because of its high population density and a lack of available landfills, South Korea introduced a volume-based fee system in 1995. It imposes a charge for waste to the general population based on the "producer pays" principle.
Volume-based waste bags are purchased at grocery stores for the price of the waste treatment cost. These special biodegradable plastic bags are sold at prices ranging from 10-litre bags (sold for 310 won or for 27 cents in U.S. dollars) to 100-litre bags (sold for 3,060 won or US$2.69). Under this new system, Seoul residents are required to separate recyclables from unrecyclable waste. This foundational system encourages residents to decrease unrecyclable waste with economic incentives.
In 1985, South Korea's national average waste generated per person per day was 4.85 pounds. By 1995, after the implementation of the volume-based fee system, it had decreased to 4.43 pounds. This average has consistently decreased to 2.11 pounds in 2010. In 2010, Seoul recycled 66% of its residential waste, put 14% into landfills and incinerated 20%, as reported by Environment of Ministry and Korea Environment Corp.'s "2011 Report of South Korea Waste Generation and Disposal."
Seoul's City Hall manages the volume-based fee system. The city uses a trash hauler to collect the volume-based waste bags from neighborhoods and to transport them to resource recovery facilities. The city does not profit from or manage the recyclable waste. There is a fine for improperly disposing of unrecyclable waste and food waste. Neighborhoods have different methods of enforcement, such as installing security cameras, to ensure residents follow the correct procedure. However, there is no fine for putting recyclable items into the wrong recycling bins.
Because of its high population density, Seoul is mostly made up of tall apartment buildings instead of single-family houses. In apartment complexes, the management designates a place with several bins. Most apartments have different bins or boxes for glass, vinyl, plastic, paper/cardboard/cartons, cans, scrap metal, Styrofoam and plastic bags. Apartment managers designate a recycling company to sell their recyclables. Depending on the recycling company, the categories of recyclables differ by apartment complex. Recyclers pay apartment managements accordingly based on how much recyclable material is generated. Recyclables are collected once per week on a designated day.
Residents of single-family homes separate unrecyclable waste from recyclables in their homes. They drop off their volume-based waste bags at a designated place in their neighborhoods and take their recyclables to a nearby recycling center and separate them according to material.
All products made in South Korea, if they are recyclable, have a special recycling mark identifying the type of material. These materials range from glass to different types of plastic. This facilitates the recycling process for residents by making recyclables easily identifiable.
Recycling and Incineration
In South Korea, food waste is separated from unrecyclable waste. Currently, apartment residents only purchase the special plastic bags for the unrecyclable waste and dump their food waste in designated bins. In addition to the volume-based fee system, Seoul is planning to have all residences be accountable for the food waste they generate starting in January of 2013. Everyone will have to purchase a special plastic bag for food waste which is designed to help decrease the amount generated. This system is currently taking place in single-family homes. Food waste is collected separately so that it can be made into such things as animal feed or fertilizer.
Incineration facilities in Seoul provide so much more than the task of burning waste. Also called resource recovery facilities, they have developed advanced technologies designed to reduce negative environmental impacts to the surrounding areas. As a matter of fact, they provide energy and heat for nearby residences and companies.
Nowon Resource Recovery Facility in Seoul is an incineration facility that uses solar power. It takes in all the unrecyclable waste from six out of 25 districts in Seoul. Emissions from the incineration process go trough electric precipitation, a wet scrubber, a bag filter, a SCR (selective catalytic reaction) reactor, a chimney and a DMS (dioxin monitoring system). After the waste is incinerated, it amounts to about one-tenth of the original amount. The ashes that are buried in a landfill take far less time to decompose compared with regular buried waste.
In Seoul, recyclers separate and compress recyclables according to type and sell them for new material manufacturing. Eco Green is a resource recycling social enterprise in Gyeonggi province, which encompasses Suwon, Seoul and Incheon. It was founded on the idea of zero waste, or that all waste is capable of being recycled in one condition: It must be gathered. One Eco Green facility includes a factory where workers separate recyclable materials. Different types of plastics are hand separated and then compressed.
The compressed blocks of plastic are sold to companies and factories depending on the material. PET (polyethylene terephthalate) is made into polyester fabric; the PS (polystyrene) is used for construction materials; and PP (polypropylene) is used for pipes or other plastic items, such as toys. The electronic materials are disassembled by hand. The chips that are inside computers and cell phones have value because of the gold, copper and aluminium in the devices.
The unrecyclable trash that remains is sent to incineration facilities which use it to produce heat and energy.
When it comes to household appliances, currently Seoul has a system where residents must drop off electronic home appliances and big household items to a designated center for proper disposal. The city is currently working on a system in which residents can request collection of large household items at no cost by phone or online.
Resource centers in South Korea recycle these large household items, which are taken apart both manually and by machine. After separation, these devices are reduced into 2 inch pieces. The materials include aluminum, copper, plastic, steel, glass. These materials are sold back to manufacturers for reuse.
Seoul runs frequent used cell phone collection campaigns. One cell phone contains about 0.04 grams of gold, 0.2 grams of silver, 0.03 grams of palladium, 14 grams of copper and 27.4 grams of cobalt. One ton of cell phones can potentially produce about 400 grams of gold, making these campaigns economically and environmentally beneficial.
Beyond borders
South Korea is currently recycling 100% of all recyclable items including paper, glass bottles, cans, wastepaper and plastic, as reported by the Environment of Ministry and Korea Environment Corp.'s "2011 Report of South Korea Waste Generation and Disposal." This is largely because of its volume-based disposal fee system.
However, to start making practical changes in other nations, the support and interest of local governments is crucial. A report from Scotland and Northern Ireland Forum for Environmental Research (SNIFER) has shown "The main driver behind the development of household waste systems appears to have been the introduction of new waste legislation (either at a national or local level) that has required a reduction in household waste arisings or a reduction in the waste disposed of in landfill."
Other localities can respond to the global natural resources crisis at hand in various ways, such as ensuring that all residences have recycling containers, reducing the size of regular waste bins and considering the possibility of imposing a fee based on how much waste a household generates.
Grace Lee of Cypress, Calif., recently completed an internship in South Korea with the Resource Recirculation Management Division under the Climate Change and Environment Bureau of Seoul City Hall. She may be reached at email@example.com.

The NASA Conspiracies by Nick Redfern
Click here for more on The NASA Conspiracies
And click here for a review by Paranormal News
I appreciate that Redfern tackles the long-standing assumption that extraterrestrials would necessarily be more advanced. I have had similar feelings on the matter and (not to be too self-referential here) wrote about my quibbles with Stephen Hawking's disbelief that anything more complex than a microbe could exist elsewhere in the universe. http://strangestate.blogspot.com/2008/04/does-stephen-hawking-lack-imagination.html
Perhaps these other civilizations (be they from other planets or other dimensions) simply had at their disposal a resource or phenomenon that allowed them to travel in this fashion far easier than it would be for us. Early Americans didn't have the wheel, but were the cliff palaces of the Southwest or the great Central and South American cities any less marvelous than those of the old world? Didn't the Maya have a more accurate calendar than that used by most of the old world? One difference, really. A wheel. A spaceship. Such a minor thing.
Just recorded a show with Nick last night - this is the kinda guy you could talk hours with. He's a terrific interview.

Welcome to our site
The American Origin Products Association (AOPA) exists to bring together producers and producer groups across the U.S. with products closely tied to their region of origin. We invite you to read more and join us.
U.S. geographical indications, or what we call American Origin Products, are receiving increasing attention at home and abroad.
This guide clarifies what distinguishes them and offers case studies of four U.S. products.
GI producers around the world strive to promote their products to consumers, and their high quality often brings a higher price. However, with consumer demand comes serious challenges in protecting the identity of their products in a globalized marketplace. Dishonest sellers are tempted to copy product names, logos and even containers in an effort to pass off their fraudulent copy as the authentic article. The AOPA is dedicated to helping U.S. producers fight back against this situation.
The guide was published in 2010 with the support of oriGIn (the Organisation for an International Geographical Indications Network (http://www.origin-gi.com/).
OriGIn is the international umbrella organization of Geographical Indications producer groups, representing some 150 producer associations (over two million) from over 40 countries.

Rory Wilson
Photograph by Javier Ciancio
Current City: Swansea, Wales, U.K.
What did you want to be when you were growing up?
I was unsure, except that knew I wanted to work with animals. (I did have the "train driver" phase but I think that disappeared when I was about 4.)
How did you get started in your field of work?
Hard question, because I got started when I was about 4, simply being interested in animals in a general sense. I progressed to being allowed to study biology at school and then specialising increasingly in zoology at university until I ended up doing a Ph.D. on the marine ecology of the African penguin. By that time there was no turning back, although there probably never had been.
What inspires you to dedicate your life to nature?
We think that we, as humans, are complex, with our clever contraptions allowing us to travel, and listen to music as we walk in the park, and walk on the moon. But in that very same park, which we may walk through with our heads bowed, concentrating on our own fabricated world of sound, the smallest aphid, in an army of aphids, on any one of a million leaves, has multiple microscopic muscles contracting perfectly in its armoured legs, as it negotiates hairs produced by the plant to deter it. And all the aphids on that leaf, in that park, in our world, are doing something, similar, but surely different. The complexity of the simplest of things is staggering, but when I think of the incredible diversity of life, from amoebae to aardvarks and beyond, and the way each intricate organism interacts within itself and with others sharing our common space, it is as difficult for me to encompass as the limitlessness of the universe. How could I not be inspired?
What's a normal day like for you?
The hard part is always getting up. I have problems getting sensory systems to function and there is really no evidence of proper neuronal activity until after midday (though some would say it never happens). Most days I wander into the university through the sublime local park. I love to watch the seasons change in this park, and how the wildlife changes with them. The university day is filled with students, and lectures, and admin, and students, and meetings, and students, But it also has moments that allow me to play with data that I have collected from wild animals. This information is collected using smart tags that tell me things about animals that nobody knows. It's not so much Peeping Tom as the honour that I have conferred upon me to be able to access some of animal's greatest secret. The thrill of all that sometimes keeps my sensory systems going until far too late in the night (which may explain the morning problems)!
Do you have a hero?
Personal hero? That's easy. Newton. What he achieved, in the belief backdrop of his life, was nothing short of phenomenal. I don't think there's been a mind to match his ever.
What has been your favorite experience in the field? The most challenging?
My favourite, at least most memorable, experience was when I first saw a wild penguin. I was sitting on the rear section of a fishing boat travelling up the Namibian coast. The sea was stunning but the severe ocean motion was interacting with my normally one-way digestive system. Then I saw a single, juvenile African penguin, in the water, rolled almost completely onto its back, concentrating wholly on preening feathers on its breast as it bounced around in the huge swell and vicious chop. Many would shriek in water like that but my bird was as at home as a child listening to a goodnight story from the depths of its bed.
The most challenging experience came soon after that. How to figure out what penguins get up to when they are at sea. The glimpse of my bird for those few seconds was really a drop in the ocean.
What are your other passions?
I love learning, and speaking, languages. I find it unutterably cool that we can squeak and squawk and trill in so many different ways and mean the same thing. I also consider it fascinating to try and comprehend words or notions in foreign languages that have no adequate translation in English. Mind-bending indeed.
What do you do in your free time?
Free time! Ha. The term "university professor" is not synonymous with free time. Actually, I love swimming. Not the solemn plowing up and down a pool, but the silly frolicking kind of swimming, especially if it involves a kind, gentle sea like the Mediterranean where sea creatures may gawp but few actually do unpleasant things to invaders.
If you could have people do one thing to help improve the planet, what would it be?
I would have people just put their litter in a bin!

Thousands of jobs at risk from defence spending cuts
Trade unionists are warning thousands of jobs in the South West are at risk from plans to cut the Ministry of Defence's £37 billion budget by up to a fifth.
The South West Defence Industries Alliance, a recently formed coalition of trade unionists working in defence, has issued an urgent wake-up call over the potential impact of the Government's Strategic Defence & Security Review to the region's economy.
Chancellor George Osborne has demanded the Ministry of Defence cut its £37 billion budget by 10-20%.
The Alliance is calling on everyone in the South West to unite against any cuts and wants people to write to Defence Secretary Liam Fox - also North Somerset MP - as a matter of urgency.
Alliance spokesman Mike Byfield said any cuts would have a devastating impact on the South West: 'We are very worried about the damage this defence review will do to jobs, to the skills base and to the wider economy.'
A Save Devonport petition has been launched by the GMB, Prospect, UCATT and Unite trade unions in Plymouth to campaign against significant cuts to the Royal Devonport Dockyard which, together with the Naval Base, generates 13% of Plymouth's income and plays an important role in the wider economy of Devon and Cornwall.
South West TUC regional secretary Nigel Costley said many people did not realise the importance of defence jobs to the South West's economy.
A report published in September this year by the Taunton-based South West Observatory, which provides regional data and analysis, found just under 3% of South West employment is related to defence or security. That amounts to 70,000 civil service defence or armed forces personnel.
In addition, many private sector defence firms such as Rolls Royce, GKN Aerospace, Airbus, BAE Systems, Thales, Babcock, Appledore Shipbuilding and others, have a substantial presence in the South West.
At least 13,000 people work in defence-related jobs in Bristol and South Gloucestershire, including 8,500 at the main armed forces' procurement body DE&S (Defence, Equipment & Support), headquartered in Bristol at MoD Abbey Wood.
'In Plymouth, 20,000 jobs are estimated to be directly or indirectly related to Devonport Royal Dockyard,' said Mr Costley.
'The South West Observatory report showed 37% of England's civil service defence jobs are based in the South West, along with 29% of England's regular armed forces personnel, including more than half of the Navy personnel.
'In aerospace alone, there are 43,000 full-time employees and another 100,000 in the supply chain, of which about 50% is defence-related activity.'
In addition, more than one in 10 manufacturing jobs in South Gloucestershire, South Somerset, Plymouth, and parts of Cornwall and Dorset are defence-related and nearly one in 12 manufacturing jobs across the South West as a whole fall directly within defence, according to a recent report by analysts Oxford Economics1.
Projects feared to be under threat in the review include:
two major aircraft-building programmes, the A330 refuelling plane and the A400M military transport plane, plus the RAF's fleet of fast jets, which would hit Airbus and Rolls Royce in Bristol;
plans to expand the Royal Navy's fleet of frigates and destroyers plus major reductions to its amphibious fleet of landing ships, which would hit Devonport and Falmouth Docks;
the programme to build two new aircraft carriers, which would hit Appledore Shipyard in North Devon;
Army troop numbers which may be cut by 20,000; Navy personnel which may be cut by up to 6,000; and big reductions in civilian defence staff.
Mr Costley said defence jobs tended to be highly skilled and better paid than many industries, such as tourism, so losing them would have an even greater impact on the region's economy.
He added: 'Defence companies also spend a lot on research and development and that attracts clusters of related industries such as communications and information technology. For example, the South West has become a leading European centre for new wireless businesses and has the highest concentration of semiconductor design companies in Europe.'
Mike Byfield, who is also the Unite convenor at Airbus, said cutting defence jobs would also have a huge impact on the wider network of smaller suppliers.
He said the Oxford Economics report showed that for every job created in the defence industry, 1.6 jobs were created elsewhere in the economy.
It would also have a detrimental impact on the Armed Forces. 'Defence workers in the South West are proud to support our Armed Forces by supplying the finest British-made equipment available,' said Mr Byfield.
'We firmly believe that the threat of losing sovereign capability will threaten the long-term sustainability of UK high tech engineering and manufacturing jobs, many thousands of which are in the South West.
'If the Government acts too quickly on the Strategic Defence & Security Review without fully thinking through the consequences of losing sovereign capability, equipment will have to be bought from overseas which will be inferior and the UK tax payer will not receive value for money.'
Mr Byfield said once highly skilled jobs were lost, it was very hard to replace them: 'BAE found this out when they stopped their submarine building programme - it took them 10 years to rebuild those skills.'
Defence in the South West2
37% of England's civil service defence jobs are based in the South West
29% of regular armed force personnel stationed in England are based in the South West
39% of South West armed forces personnel are in Wiltshire and Swindon, including 16,400 personnel and 22,500 defence-related civil servants, accounting for 7% of the workforce
28% (11,800) of South West armed forces personnel are based in the Devon, Plymouth and Torbay area, mainly Royal Navy (10,700)
The Royal Navy also has 3,000 jobs in Cornwall and 3,000 in Somerset
29% of defence-related civil service jobs are in the West of England (8,300), 22% in Gloucestershire (6,400).

Important boat stuff you forget
I'm pretty good at remembering to have the standard "important" stuff on the boat. You know things like: beer, soda, TP, maybe some food. But there are a lot of other real important stuff that I don't think of and maybe it is time to have a list.
From this weekend after solo sailing all day thinking about the beef I was going to grill on the BBQ:
lighter (or something that will work) to light the grill with
Please add to the list. :(
Re: Important boat stuff you forget
I forgot to bring fresh limes last week and had to drink Gin and Tonics with a twist of lemon.
Re: Important boat stuff you forget
Re: Important boat stuff you forget
coffee beans
inverter for coffee grinder
AeroPress Coffee maker
flashlight (headlamp)
Re: Important boat stuff you forget
Re: Important boat stuff you forget
Forgot and sailed off with my spinnaker pole on the dock. Came back and it was gone.
Re: Important boat stuff you forget
We keep a lighter on board at all times. But...
Anchored on the 4th of July after a long, hot day of sailing, waiting for the firework show. 10 people on board. Grill fired up, hot dogs cooking. From the galley:"Where are the hot dog buns?"
Re: Important boat stuff you forget
The holding tank portion of the port-a-potty, much to the chagrin of the Admiral. Kinda doesn't work well with just the seat and wash tank. Very messy.
Re: Important boat stuff you forget
I have multiple hand held radios from when we had our 22 footer and I kept forgetting one at home. Thankfully Rock Hall has a West Marine.
Also, I started keeping dollar bills and quarters on board so I don't have to make change in the ice honor bucket and don't have to remember to take change down with me.
Re: Important boat stuff you forget
Ill play.
Last week took out two work buddies first time sailing. Im an easy going guy and it was a SUPERB day on the water so I was not one to tell my two passengers it was to be a dry ride (different for passage making) so I told them to bring beer if they wanted. Forgot to mention ice however- at least I got to laugh at the faces they made trying to force down piss warm beer haha.
Two months ago on my first shakedown cruise left the inlet in big ground swells. I have a centerboard boat and the centerboard tubes foam insert has not been replaced since I had only been sailing the St. Johns river and never thought it prudent. Well suddenly I look down a mile out of the inlet and every trough the boat plowed into pushed a good pint to quart of water up the centerboard tube into the sole. I had to keep the engine running and both bilge pumps to keep the sole from being flooded and force my 8000 pound bruiser into ponce inlet against an ebb tide and south west wind with an 8 hp yanmar. I only made that mistake once.

The danger of three and four-wheeled motorbikes on beaches was highlighted when a 13-year-old boy and a 58-year-old woman suffered injuries in two separate incidents at the weekend.
Lowe Corporation Rescue Helicopter Trust spokeswoman Louise Harvey said that at 4.14pm yesterday [Sunday] the rescue helicopter was called to a recreational quadbike accident at Black Reef near Cape Kidnappers where a woman sustained spinal and shoulder injuries.
She was airlifted to Hawke's Bay Hospital for further treatment.
Hawke's Bay District Health Board spokeswoman Anna Kirk said last night the woman was in a stable condition and was being treated for spinal injuries.
The accident came after a 13-year-old boy had to be rescued when his three-wheeled motorbike, or trike, tipped over on the barely accessible Tukituki rivermouth beach on Saturday afternoon.
Haumoana man Andrew Garland was on the beach when he was alerted to the mishap when he saw a young girl on a cellphone and the front wheel of the three-wheeler in the air.
Mr Garland said that when he reached the two youngsters the boy was in obvious agony. The youngster had been tossed backwards as it rode up a shingle bank near the river mouth, at least a kilometre from the domain at Haumoana. The front wheel of the trike was in the air, the machine was at risk of toppling on the boy, and the girl appeared to be having difficulty telling emergency services where she was.
Mr Garland's short trip on his own quad bike to get fish and chips became a rescue mission lasting more than an hour before the boy was able to be rushed to hospital by ambulance with suspected pelvic and leg injuries.
The boy is understood to have been a recent arrival in the area, and it was not clear whether he had authorised use of the trike.
He was discharged from hospital after treatment.

Bees can't fly
Letter writer David Quintero ("Biblical biology," Nov. 4) criticizes Georgia Republican Paul Brown for his comments concerning evolution. As usual, the pro-scientific view is to broad-brush evolution, rather than focusing on evolution of the species, which is where biblical proponents draw their line in the sand.
There are serious limits to the evolutionary theory, which is why bananas don't grow on rose bushes and why today's monkeys are not tomorrow's humans.
Let's not forget it's a scientific fact that bumblebees can't fly, as their wings are too small to support the bee's bulky weight and non-aerodynamic form. However, bumblebees can't read such scientific reports, so in their ignorance and naivete, they just fly! We need to recognize that science often alters its "facts" via additional discovery, while the Bible consistently remains the same.
Jim Roberts
La Mirada
Evolutionary fact
If Brad Haugaard would skim through a dozen recent issues of any world-class general science journal, such as Nature or Science, he would get a better perspective on David Quintero's statement about scientific acceptance of the fact of evolution. Brad might also visit any respectable university, such as UCLA or USC, and poll the professors in the biology department. That should tell him where real science stands. And, please don't tell me that it is all part of a worldwide conspiracy!
As for Behe's "irreducible complexity" objection, it's junk science that suffers from at least two fatal flaws. It's all on the Internet once you get past the creationist sites. Odd that Behe should be quoted. He actually accepted evolution above the molecular, sub-cellular level!
Tom Houg's letter (also Nov. 6) drags out the usual dead horses, arguments that are chiefly restricted to sleazy creationist books for the layman! Many of them reflect a total misunderstanding of even the basics of evolution which, admittedly, can be rather subtle. Tom should also know that the need to keep God out of science is not a scientific rejection of God. Injecting the supernatural into science is like putting sand into an engine; you just don't go anywhere! Science would be reduced to a stagnant debating society, and that's why all successful religious scientists keep God out of their work. However, science does tend to leave God without meaningful employment!

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
One of my sisters passed away 2 years ago in Oklahoma and one of our cousins made a quilt to display over the casket. Very beautiful!
I think that is wonderful, much better then just flowers
I have made some quilts for people who have had a death instead of flowers. Quilts last, flowers die.
Honey, I could not have worded that better myself!! I have made it known I want no flowers but wish that money be donated to the Sunday school dept in my church! Putting my quilts all around me would be sooooo much more appropriate!!
I have informed my family i wish to be cremated , put my ashes in a peanut buttter jar and just hold a memorial service for me. Instead of buying and tHROWING away flowers, donate all monies to the SSdept in my church at the time of my memorial service and after , like Mothers day , etc. And I would be honored to have my quilts displayed at my Memorial service. I will leave instructions as to who gets what with that name tag idea. I would rather my family celebrate my life than to mourn my death!!!

I decided at my funeral I have them show all the things I've made, quilts ,blankets ect. Lots of them went to members for all theyr babies( we have lots of them here). I have always taken photos and later computer pics of all my work. I think it will be a long show!
At a long term ccare facility where I used to work a quilt was draped over the gurney as it was wheeled out of the biulding and the person who had died was later written in the squares. I was always hanging in the chapel as a rememberance of those who had gone on.
When my brother was alive he enjoyed doing oil paintings. He was really good, too. When he died his wife took all the paintings that they still had and put them around where the flowers would sit at the funeral home. Everyone was amazed that he did such good painting and it showed who he really was and enjoyed.
I have never heard of it, but WOW, what a great idea.

One of MJ's "special friends" disclosed on MJ's drug problems
Posted in the Michael Jackson Forum
Since: Jun 13
#1 Jul 3, 2013
Frank Cascio released a biography on Michael a couple years ago.
A few details he told are covered:
*Jackson had first met him when he was five, Jackson knew his father real well.
*Jackson got into Demerol because of Frank's father around 1984 (same year he met Frank).
*He first saw Jackson take Demerol while on the Dangerous tour in 1993.
*Michael was totally drugged up prior to his 30th anniversary concerts in 2001 and Frank was desperately trying to get MJ to wean off the drugs before showtime.
*He said Jackson took propofol back in 1999 following the time his stage set collapsed in a performance in Munich (though other reports said he had taken propofol as early as 1996).
*He claims Jackson used Demerol to treat his vitiligo.
*He confirms the evidence that Jackson used his name (Frank's) to get his prescriptions.
*He never gives out a timeline but he claims he and MJ got stoned out on weed "on a few occasions up in the mountains" and that Jackson would "drink wine out of juice bottles and soda cans".
*Amazingly after being accused of child molestation publicly in 1993, MJ asked the Cascio family to let their sons (Frank and one of his brothers) hang out with Michael. According to Frank, MJ "broke down crying" to his father before his father agreed to let them be in Jackson's company without their presence.
*Though he claims MJ "loved women" and "didn't molest kids", he said he "loved" them.
*According to Frank, Jackson claimed another "special friend" Omer Bhatti was his "son". He later admitted Omer wasn't his son.
It's interesting. Even with the lies he did tell, this stuff stands out like a sore thumb to me. Of course some fans went all h.a.m. on him too for some reason, mainly about the drug stuff.

I think Frank and his families were the ones warned by the LAPD after the Jordie allegations not to go near Michael Jackson as he was a danger to children. It obviously didn't work and I often wonder exactly what was Frank's relationship with Pedo Pan in the end? Did he help him get boys in his bedroom or give them alcohol at Pedo Pan's request? I wouldn't be at all surprised.
Since: Jun 13
#3 Jul 4, 2013
Yeah the LAPD was concerned about why the Cascios allowed their children to be with Michael while MJ was being investigated for child molestation. Apparently, he also admitted Michael turned him on to porn in the book, another telling statement. Also telling (and probably disturbing), a drugged up MJ took the Cascio boys (Frank and some other brother) to a hot tub while MJ was in London and he basically almost drowned. Frank and the brother got MJ out of the tub and around that time, MJ agreed to go to "rehab".

Michael broke down and cried when Mr. Cascio wouldn't let Michael be alone with his sons? Sounds a little too reminiscent of his behavior with June Chandler.
I think Michael molested Frank and his brothers. Frank just won't admit it. Even though he won't admit Omer was another one of Michael's "special" friends, at least he admits Omer wasn't Michael's son.

Frank shows all the signs of an abused child. After he got too old for the sleepovers with Pedo Pan, he worked for him and helped him cover his tracks, about the molestation of his new "special" friends. Frank was mentioned several times, by the Arvizo family, in the police reports, and by witnesses.
I just hope Frank isn't so messed up in the head because of Pedo Pan, he's now molesting children.
Since: Jun 13
#6 Jul 5, 2013
Makes you wonder. I read parts of that book online somewhere and I saw pictures, there's one picture, taken around 1995/6-ish, and Frank Cascio is right beside MJ leaning over him (with long hair) like Michael was his lover or something. I kept looking at that photo like "o_O". It seems the pattern MJ had in calling his "special friends" sons go back to Emmanuel Lewis. That's why Emmanuel's mother stopped their relationship because she had heard MJ and him had entered a hotel together as "father and son". Definitely follows a pattern. Other boys were called "cousins".
Since: Jun 13
#7 Jul 5, 2013
Who knows? It's quite telling Frank is in his early thirties right now and he has no wife or kids. He said he and MJ had fallen out numerous times after Frank became of age and really fell out after the child molestation trial. Apparently Frank wrote a part in which he accused Michael of betraying his trust or something in not standing up for Frank. Frank claimed they were "on their way" to reconciliation when MJ died. I also found it telling in his thank you notes, he thanked everybody but MJ and the Jacksons...

He was considered a co-conspirator, in the 2005 case. Had Michael gone to prison where he belonged, Frank would have found himself in court, next. I haven't read his book, so I didn't realize Frank did not thank Michael and the Jacksons. But if he hasn't had significant relationships with adults, it's definitely telling.
Since: Jun 13
#9 Jul 6, 2013
Yeah. I guess once you're around MJ, you're never the same person. Shoot Frank had been around MJ since he was four/five years old. That should tell you something.

I sure am glad I found y'all sane folks over here, them f'loons on the other sites are annoying and insane! Y'all make sense over here, except a few random f'loons here and there, lol. Very interesting post, Frank is the one I know least about, putting it all together now. MJ really liked that Demerol and how the hell did he think that would pass for a "vitiligo" medicine? It's a well known opiate! Makes no sense. I agree with you, Frank was surely abused too. Some never do come to terms with it.
Since: Jun 13
#12 Jul 9, 2013
No problem. Yeah the f'loons are nuts.
Anyway you can tell MJ was a hardcore drug addict.
Why else would he claim Demerol was a skin lightening procedure (which it obviously wasn't)? Even worse, 13-year-old Frank BOUGHT MJ's excuse! smh talk about brainwashing.

I think you might have a point there with Frank. I think Jackson sexually molested him too, he's been very loyal to him. If he was sexually abused it's difficult to come out particularly because Michael provided him with things he otherwise couldn't afford. Frank was one of the 5 co-conspirators. Tom Sneddon said was keeping the Arvizos from leaving Neverland. The idiot referred to them as "The Mexican family".

VERY similar. When I saw him on one MJ documentary discussing his relationships with young boys, he looked scared out of his wits... he almost said everything except "I really, really love Michael Jackson". It was sad to watch.

I get that same feeling when I view the Youtube videos of Macauley Culkin defending Michael Jackson on Larry King in 2004. He says Michael did nothing but something about his mannerism tells me he doesn't believe his own words. Even more noticeable never does Macauley say "Michael is innocent". Rather strange he doesn't say that if they are such good, close, friends. Why does Culkin neglect to say Michael is innocent?
Since: Jun 13
#19 Jul 10, 2013
That also spoke volumes to me. MJ cut Macaulay out of the picture in 1994 and Macaulay basically lived in exile afterwards living isolated in New York. Michael invited Mac to his 30th anniversary concert in 2001 as a PR move. But they were never close friends. Abused victims would cover up some things from the public, which is what Mac was doing.
#20 Jul 10, 2013
A fan mentioned a while back that Brett Barnes asked her if Frank talked about him in his book. Were Brett and Frank friends? I know Brett said on the stand that they shared MJ's bed together sometimes.

A lot of f'loons have this convoluted idea Frank and Jordan Chandler were friends when Jordan paid visits to Neverland and that Jordan was never alone in Jackson's bedroom because Frank spent the night with them.
