The Bobbsey Twins
My ex wife and my mother were a real pair of Queens. So I'm sitting here and thinking about how my ex took me to the cleaners in our divorce. Forget my mother was busting a nut transferring everything we own to her preferred daughter. I have left something out in all of the my ex charging up my credit cards and how my ex called them in stolen so I couldn't use them and it dawned on me that I have left out one little detail of my exes skulduggery.
She had my drivers license number, my social security number AND my first name was a popular girls name in the fifties. I imagine she listened in and knew my security questions and since they would be expecting a woman to be talking to them there was no need to dig very deep to make sure the person on the phone was the person on the account. I can still call in with much less info than she had back then, and do a lot of damage. My ex even transferred my few frequent flier miles to herself. All I know is by the time we went to court I didn't have anything left in my name.

Do You Have Prince Albert in a Can?
Good god almighty. I can't get out of bed in the morning with out something reminding me of some demented thing my mother had me do. So I am watching this Movie called "Ask me Anything". It's about this teenage girl essentially running amok and screwing married guys and making the grown ups around her threadbare and just flinching when they see her coming. The movie sort of paints her as better than she really was because it ends with her pretty well disappearing off the face of the earth. Presumably murdered by someone who had enough of her shit, because as innocent as they portrayed her to be, she was inflicting some permanent damage on the people that got close to her. She didn't deserve to die if that's what became of her, but people tend to get real serious and real unhappy when some slut bag ruins lives on a whim.
So I am watching her call her married boyfriend and she has her Spanish speaking friend there so if the wife answered she could chatter at the wife in Spanish and pass it off as a wrong number. Which is just like my mother. She would dial up some guy and if he answered she would push me aside and start her mating call/dance ritual. But if the wife answered I had to follow her little script she had coached me on before she rang the guy up? I'm all of 8 or 10 years old and she has me covering her adult ass, lying for her like a cheap rug.

Abused children cling to the hope that growing up will bring escape and freedom.
But the personality formed in the environment of coercive control is not well adapted to adult life. The survivor is left with fundamental problems in basic trust, autonomy, and initiative. They approach the task of early adulthood――establishing independence and intimacy――burdened by impairments in self-care, in cognition and in memory, in identity, and in the capacity to form stable relationships.
They are still a prisoner of childhood; attempting to create a new life, they reencounter the old trauma."

Catching My Wife With Her Pants Down
Of all people..... I called my mother and said "I know who Lisa is fucking and it's Eddie our old neighbor". I am sure that right then and there, my mom was sold on Lisa because they are both monsters. I am pretty sure all of them are bound for hell. (this is the guy that let her park her boat in his driveway. The one she bought with assets she hid from the me and the court and he told me it was his boat when I drove up one day as he was washing it)
He even gloated to me about what a cool boat he owned.
I wonder if they have boat ramps in hell?

Covert Narcissism
I had an anonymous comment asking if I thought my father was a covert narcissist. I'm not really sure what a covert narcissist is. If it's millennium speak for being a free range asshole, my father certainly qualifies. He had no problem with his wife tormenting his kids and fucking his friends as long as she kept her legs open for him. My father was not in his right mind. Other than that, I really can't comment about him, or us, or any other thing. I hoped that as I got older, and could see him through the eyes of an adult, I could make it make more sense. But that insight isn't coming. I really forgot what he was like. It's been 40 years of hard living since he snuffed it and most of my memories of him are a blur.
I ran across this quote early on and it's as close as I ever got to an answer:
"Death ends a life, but it does not end a relationship, which struggles on in the survivor's mind towards some resolution which it never finds."
Robert Anderson
Hey anonymous! I am not trying to give you a hard time I really don't have a handle on the covert narcissist concept. If you want to write something I would be happy to give you space to post it!

Good Time Charlie
Above: Tessmer being groped by my mother.
And my mother trying in vain not to throw up in my fathers mouth
This is from a his story that ran in the Dallas Observer in 1999. Tessmer died in 2003. There is no transcript from my mothers trial because she was acquitted, thus there was nothing to appeal. Bill Jobe (her accomplice) had a transcript because he was found guilty and later appealed his conviction. I hate to resort to a cut and paste fest for content but here you go. Click on the name Charles Tessmer in the paragraph above and it will take you to the article I am plagiarizing. Don't forget that his job was to get my mother off and at that, he did a damn good job.
He has arrived on the fifth floor of the Frank Crowley Criminal Courts Building this November morning at an hour early, dressed as flamboyantly as ever, opting for a pink shirt, tan tie, and brown sport coat. Ever the Southern gentleman, he plays courtier to the court, offering coffee to one lawyer, welcoming others.
Tessmer has never shied away from tough cases, and today is no exception. His client was convicted of injury to a child -- "splitting open the intestines" of his 10-month-old boy, as the prosecutor put it. The father, little more than a boy himself, had told the authorities conflicting stories about how the baby's injury occurred. Lying never plays well with a jury, which found him guilty despite Tessmer's claim that the injury was the result of an accident. Dallas juries are hard on abuse cases, so Tessmer elected to go to Judge Gary Stephens for punishment. With probation a legal impossibility for his client, it was just a question of time: five to 99, or life.
Tessmer has faced worse odds. Since 1949, he has represented hookers and homemakers, judges and bookies, doctors and vagrants. They came seeking his counsel for larceny, burglary, robbery, arson, and rape. But his signature crime was murder: the jilted husband, the insane wife, the ex-girlfriend who shoots blindly because "that son of a bitch just needed killin'."
"Anyone who had trouble and money would find Charles Tessmer," Dallas attorney Don Scoggins says.
He was the whole package, a master magician both at trial and on appeal. He tried more than 1,000 cases; he represented more than 175 people facing the death penalty and never lost a client to the executioner; more than 160 appellate court opinions list him as attorney of record; at one point in the early '70s, he appealed 28 state convictions and won 14 reversals; he argued three cases to the U.S. Supreme Court, winning two of them. As president of the Dallas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association and later the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, he attempted to bring integrity to a profession that was often accused of being as criminal as its clients.
And he did it all in Dallas, where at one time you could get a life sentence for possessing marijuana and a death sentence for robbery or rape; where cuff 'em and stuff 'em juries sided with the prosecution more than 90 percent of the time. And he did it against former District Attorney Henry Wade, whose office was notorious for its go-for-the-throat prosecutions.
Tessmer possessed the stage presence of an Olivier, the oratorical skills of a Greek philosopher, and the liver of Nicolas Cage in Leaving Las Vegas. He celebrated his wins by going on lengthy drinking binges, and he was always winning -- and buying. He was Good-time Charlie to his friends, and everyone was his friend.
Why did he never achieve the celebrity of famed lawyers such as Percy Foreman, Richard "Racehorse" Haynes, or F. Lee Bailey? Why is there no chair endowed in his honor at Southern Methodist University Law School, his alma mater? Why is Charlie Tessmer, who should be in the distinguished graying years of a brilliant career, still trying street crimes at bargain prices?
In the child-abuse case, it's Tessmer's turn to argue punishment, and he rises slowly out of his chair. He seems uncertain, walking over to a blank sketchpad mounted on an easel beside the judge. Tessmer rips aside the first page, and beneath it is a chart -- the old fox got up early so he could secretly prepare a diagram of the evidence.
Tessmer hammers hard at the prosecution's case, almost as if he is arguing guilt or innocence again. Perhaps if he can convince the judge that the evidence is borderline insufficient, the judge may take a more lenient view of punishment. "This is a very thin case, your honor," Tessmer says. "Credibility [his client's lack of it] is no evidence of guilt."
Age and alcohol have done nothing to diminish Tessmer's mellifluous voice, its silky texture subtly persuading you that he knows what he's talking about andyou damn well better listen.
Judge Stephens listens. He looks at the chart. He thanks Tessmer for his "very vigorous argument," and he sentences the defendant to 12 years in prison. Tessmer's face doesn't register his displeasure with the punishment or his own performance, though later he admits, "I seem to have lost my fastball."
In the old days, he played to packed houses, but today the gallery is empty, save two lawyers sitting on the first row. As Tessmer leaves the courtroom, one whispers under his breath, "That was Charlie Tessmer" -- as if the man exists only in the past tense.
Two women are seated in a courthouse hallway waiting to be summoned for jury duty. A man with a briefcase walks past them, and one woman turns to the other and says, "There goes a criminal lawyer." The second woman replies, "Well, aren't they all?"
Charlie Tessmer doesn't usually tell lawyer jokes, but there is something about this one that defines his life. "I was a bit of a rounder," he recalls. "I didn't try to hide anything. I sat on the front row and sang louder than anyone. I didn't give a damn about what people thought. What do people think about a criminal lawyer anyway?"
Yet Tessmer has spent the better part of his career trying to change the public's perception of his profession. The legal landscape when he graduated from SMU law school in 1949 gave him a lot to work with. Tessmer came from an era when criminal lawyers flew by the seat of their pants, preparing for trial on the day of trial, winning jury verdicts by chewing on witnesses and raising hell. Some criminal cases never got filed, with money changing hands from client to lawyer to prosecutor. Rarely would a Dallas lawyer investigate the facts, research the law, create a trial strategy that planted land mines for the prosecution timed to explode on appeal. Tessmer helped change that.
In the late '40s, Dallas was at moral cross-purposes with itself -- gambling and whoring on Saturday nights, praying for God and Sheriff Bill Decker to do something about it on Sunday mornings. But as long as those illicit activities took place behind closed doors -- whether it was a gambling house on top of the Southland Hotel or a cathouse on North Akard Street -- Decker was disinclined to break up the fun. Let the gambling turn violent, and the sheriff would lock you up or run you out of town. Let the pimps and prostitutes take their business to the streets, and the vice squad would sweep them clean of these "vagrants." County vagrancy cases were big business for the criminal bar, and a hungry Charlie Tessmer was in no position to turn them down.
His father, a railroad man, died when Tessmer was 10, and his mother, something of a drinker herself, didn't have the money or the inclination to raise him alone. Tessmer was her only child, and she was about to put him in an orphanage when her sister agreed to care for him. He lived with his aunt and uncle above their furniture store on Elm Street in East Dallas, a rowdy neighborhood from which many of his friends would wind up in Huntsville or dead. Tessmer would visit the whorehouses in South Dallas, collecting weekly rentals for the mattresses and box springs that his uncle routinely restocked. "They were kind to me," Tessmer recalls. "And it showed me a side of life that I would have never seen."
Before enlisting in the Army in 1941, he married a woman he met at a downtown nightclub. Eventually, he was sent to England, where he was assigned to military intelligence, investigating American GIs who turned black marketeers. In London, at the criminal courts of the Old Bailey, he grew enamored of the law.
After he returned from the war, his uncle offered him his store. Tessmer's wife, Ebbiah, already caring for one baby girl with another soon to follow, insisted that he opt for the security of an established business. But Tessmer would have none of it. He attended SMU, completing his studies in four years as he worked nights at a downtown liquor store.
After passing the bar, he rented office space with a classmate for $30 a month in a second-floor walk-up on Main and Lamar streets. His mother became his secretary, working for free if she had to. Often, she had to. "It was her way of making things up to me," Tessmer says.
But his real office was Bill Martin's TV Bar on Elm Street about a block from the municipal courts. The place was thick with cops and call girls, and Tessmer was always open, available 24 hours a day for those freshly arrested.
Tessmer's wavy red hair, golden voice, and drinks-all-around demeanor made him easy to like and hard to forget. He realized he had to separate himself from the pack, hone his skills as a trial lawyer or risk being brushed with the same sordid reputation as many of his peers. Tessmer was a quick study. He had a photographic memory, he could read and write at a lightning pace, and he researched the lives of the great masters of his profession. From them, he learned that the law was as much about show business as it was about legal precedent.
Shortly after opening his practice, he put on his flashiest suit, added a flower from his neighbor's yard, polished his briefcase with shoe wax, and headed for the Criminal Courts Building on Main Street. In those days, there were only two criminal district judges, and Henry King, the more prosecution-minded one, pulled Tessmer into his courtroom and appointed him to a case. The judge introduced Tessmer to his client and told him to be ready for trial in 20 minutes.
Tessmer spoke briefly to Fred Alphonse Brooks, who was accused of stealing an electric sander from a construction site. Brooks was a six-time loser, each time going to the pen for theft. In all of those cases, Brooks had pleaded guilty. In this case, however, Brooks said he was innocent, claiming he just found the sander. With six prior theft convictions and a defendant who was essentially caught in the act, the case should have been no contest for the prosecution. But Tessmer argued that his client was an honest thief: He admitted his crimes when he was guilty; he refused to take the blame when he wasn't. The jury was out 10 minutes before it found him not guilty.
After the verdict, a deputy approached Tessmer and told him Sheriff Decker wanted to see him. Tessmer went along peacefully. You didn't say no to Bill Decker.
"He just congratulated me," Tessmer remembers. Decker admired his talent and told Tessmer he would do what he could to help him. He persuaded Tessmer to become a Mason, which became a great referral source; if a prisoner was in the county jail on an infamous "Decker hold" -- no visitors, sheriff's orders -- Tessmer was one of the few lawyers who could gain entry and beat out the competition.
There was no love lost, however, between Tessmer and Henry Wade. Tessmer built his reputation on the backs of Wade's best prosecutors -- James K. Allen, Bill Alexander, Fred Bruner -- racking up so many acquittals and light sentences that after a bitterly contested robbery trial in which the jury slapped the defendant with only eight years in the pen, Wade accused Tessmer of suborning perjury. "I have been aware for some time that defense attorneys have been using perjured testimony in many of our criminal trials," he told The Dallas Morning News in 1953. Wade also believed that Tessmer was just a little too cozy with one of his top assistants, who he suspected was leaking secret grand jury testimony to Tessmer. Other than raising Tessmer's profile, nothing came of either allegation.
Of course, Tessmer would cozy up with just about anyone -- particularly anyone with press credentials. Each win was a celebration, each loss a wake, and either was reason enough to invite the press and throw a party. "Early on, I institutionalized a bar in my office for the fourth estate," Tessmer recalls. Eddie Barker, Jackie Renfro, Ralph Coleman, Murphy Martin, and Bert Shipp were among the reporters who came to his law office at 706 Main St., standing around the bar and listening to Tessmer's regular piano man play Tessmer's favorite Sinatra tunes. For those who couldn't keep up, there were pullout bunk beds and a cold shower. A justice from the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals was notorious for not keeping up. Tessmer, on the other hand, might fade for 15 or 20 minutes at a time, but after these intermittent bouts of unconsciousness, he would somehow revive himself and pick up where he left off, at least for the next two to three days. Oddly enough, his name would show up in news reports even when he filed boilerplate legal motions of little news value. The press seemed to cover his every move.
But nothing sealed Tessmer's reputation like the Charles Jack Stewart maiming case in 1954. Stewart was part of the Lakewood Rats, a pack of spoiled rich kids who got violent when they got bored. When the 18-year-old Stewart swaggered into a Lakewood restaurant, smashed a beer bottle into a man's face, and took his eye out, the city was outraged. The newspapers refused to let the story die. Tessmer had to file a change of venue, which was granted only after the first jury couldn't reach a verdict, deadlocked over Tessmer's claim of self-defense. A second jury later convicted Stewart of maiming, but then sentenced him to probation. He walked out of the courtroom with Tessmer, who had by that time attained the local reputation he had sought.
"I had the right of first refusal on every big case in the city," Tessmer says. "That's when I became what they call 'the man to see.'"
No case was bigger than the State of Texas vs. Jack Ruby -- the man who killed the man who killed Kennedy. Tessmer had known Ruby for some time, had frequented his Carousel Club, and suspected that Ruby had once been an "errand boy" for the Chicago mob. But Ruby stayed out of trouble in Dallas, except when he roughed up a drunk in his club. For that he used attorney Tom Howard, who two days after Oswald's murder met with Tessmer and his young associate Frank Wright. Ruby wanted Tessmer to defend him.
"Only, he wanted me to represent him for free," Tessmer says. "I told Tom I would have to think about it."
A few days later, Tessmer and his wife ran into Sheriff Decker, who urged Tessmer not to get involved with Ruby. "There may be a conspiracy," Tessmer recalls Decker saying. "Those are dangerous people."
Decker's warning caused Tessmer to hesitate long enough for Ruby's family to hire San Francisco attorney Melvin Belli. The flamboyant "King of Torts" put the city of Dallas on trial, and Ruby must have resented his tactics. On the morning the trial was set to begin, Tessmer says, Ruby's brother Earl and sister Eva were sitting in his office, begging Tessmer to replace Belli.
Jack Ruby was the kind of client who could become synonymous with Tessmer's name and cement his reputation as one of the great criminal lawyers of his time. Only Tessmer turned him down. Belli had already made a public mess of things, Tessmer says. "I just felt it was too late."
"That was a severe mistake," Wright says. "The only thing that Charlie missed in his career was that national case that could have made him a national figure. He never got that chance again."
Tessmer seemed more comfortable "chasing the bubble of fame" -- as he says -- in Texas. While other high-flying lawyers would take their acts on the road and try cases wherever the money brought them, Tessmer was more of a homeboy.
Yet at home, in front of the nation's toughest juries, he was worth every penny you paid him, particularly since he set his fees at Depression-era prices. "I never did charge properly," he says. "Where I came from, $25 was a lot of money for getting whores out of jail."
Instead of the Ruby case, he tried an arson case that garnered so much publicity locally, it pushed the Ruby trial off the front pages. A downtown fire at the Golden Pheasant Restaurant claimed the lives of four firemen in 1964, and investigators quickly targeted its owner, Charles Bryant, who years before was suspected of burning another restaurant to the ground. Tessmer and Wright convinced the grand jury not to indict Bryant for murder and a trial jury not to convict him of arson.
Tessmer understood the spectacle of the courtroom, trying to re-create a crime scene not with two-dimensional photographs or scaled-down drawings, but with the actual crime scene itself. In the 1961 trial of Tony Davis (the first black man acquitted of raping a white woman in Dallas County), Tessmer brought the bed where the act allegedly took place into the courtroom. He introduced a bathroom door as an exhibit in a murder case, a bedroom door in a statutory rape case, a dog in a fondling case. These became props in his hands, bits of stage business that Tessmer the actor could use to re-enact, cajole, and persuade. He would costume himself in flashy suits. As the protagonist in his own drama, Tessmer would re-enact the death scene, showing how a struggle for the weapon might have caused it to go off accidentally. He knew how to deliver a line, when not to step on one, how to charm a hostile witness into making a damning admission by soft-pedaling his own attack. "I know lawyers who would kill for that voice," says Dallas attorney Stan Weinberg, who worked for Tessmer in the '60s. "And the whiskey only made it richer."
In a capital case, Tessmer would seat himself in the witness chair, acting as if he were in the electric chair, and then he would describe for the jury in graphic detail how electrocution was anything but the painless procedure the prosecution painted it to be.
Another lawyer trying the same theatrics might come off as disingenuous or over-the-top, but not one of Tessmer's 175 capital murder clients was ever executed. Of course, none of his gimmicks would have worked if Tessmer weren't well prepared.
He read every criminal case decided by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, and the U.S. Supreme Court. "His memory was near perfect," says attorney Ron Goranson, who worked for Tessmer in the early '70s. "He could recall the case name, the county where the case was tried, the judge who wrote the opinion." Since he knew more law than most trial judges, he could convince them to rule in his favor, even when he was wrong. Appellate judges praised his work in their opinions, something rarely done.
In 1968, Tessmer wrote a book on litigation tactics titled Criminal Trial Strategythat is still considered by many a bible in the field. He was elected president of the National Association of Criminal Defense Attorneys in 1972, the only Dallas attorney ever to hold that position.
"More than anyone else," says Dallas criminal defense attorney George Milner, "Tessmer brought credibility to the profession. He made it acceptable to be a criminal trial practitioner within the Dallas bar."
When Tessmer was in trial, the gallery was standing room only, filled with prosecutors and defense attorneys hoping to learn from a master at work.
Tessmer's reputation for hard work was nearly surpassed by his reputation for hard play. "It was interesting watching Charles celebrate," Milner says. "I might celebrate for two hours, but he might run for two weeks.
"He always wanted companionship," Milner says. "Particularly when he was drinking." He ran with an eclectic entourage of 15 to 20 hangers-on. In addition to the regular crowd of reporters, lawyers, and judges, he traveled at various times with a portrait artist, a piano player, a washed-up boxer, a bookie, a retired cat burglar, a Dixie Mafia member, a bell captain, and a midget.
When "Mr. T" walked into one of his favorite nightspots -- the Kings Club at the Adolphus, the Chateaubriand in Oak Lawn, the Great Indoors on Greenville Avenue -- the band would start playing Sinatra's "My Way," and Tessmer would tell the waiter the drinks were on him. "He was magnanimous when he was intoxicated," says veteran reporter Hugh Aynsworth. If Tessmer had money, everyone had money. Last call meant nothing to him. Tessmer would simply persuade the club owner to lock the doors. The bartender kept pouring, and the band kept playing.
"He would just functionally disappear from the office for a couple of weeks at a time," attorney Ron Goranson says. "We knew he was out running."
Tessmer would pick people up like they were just so much luggage. Goranson recalls that Tessmer once left the office headed for New Orleans to argue a federal case before the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. "The next time we heard from him, he was in Las Vegas with the entire Delta flight crew."
Work and play left little time for family. "Ebbiah said she was overweight because Charlie never came home," Goranson remembers. "She'd cook two meals and eat them both." Tessmer kept peace at home with a form of bribery. "I would go out and kick up my heels, and my wife would go out and buy another Cadillac," he says. It was an expensive arrangement, but it worked. They stayed married until her death from cancer in 1973.
The only thing that slowed him down was litigation. "I quit drinking two, three days before a case," he says. "I would dry out, take a steam bath, exercise, do the whole nine yards."
Tessmer rebounded for trial time and again: He represented Ruth Knighten, a Dallas cafeteria worker accused of killing her newborn baby. Her previous court-appointed counsel arranged for her to plead guilty to a life sentence, which she did. After Tessmer took over, he got her a new trial and claimed she was insane at the time of the murder. A jury took eight minutes to acquit her. With Percy Foreman, he defended federal narcotics agent James Lander, who was found guilty of murdering his stewardess girlfriend. Prosecutor Doug Mulder, Henry Wade's first assistant, asked that Lander receive a life sentence. After Tessmer's stunning argument -- any prison sentence would be a death sentence for a cop -- the jury gave Lander probation. In 1973, Tessmer represented grocery-store owner Betty Cundiff, accused of murdering the husband of a close friend who was having an affair with a police officer. The two lovers had already received 25-year sentences for their part in the slaying. Cundiff was the alleged shooter, and a witness put the murder weapon in her hand minutes after the killing. But Tessmer, with his biting cross-examination, made a mockery of several prosecution witnesses. The jury acquitted in just over an hour.
No matter how zealous your belief in law and order, no matter how diehard your conviction that the courts coddle criminals, you couldn't help but admire the sheer artistry of Charlie Tessmer. "I have been around for 30 years and seen almost all of them -- F. Lee Bailey, Gerry Spence, Percy Foreman, Racehorse Haynes," says Jim Rolfe, former U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Texas. "And Tessmer was the best I have ever seen."
"The world was my oyster," Tessmer says. "I didn't think it would ever end."
In 1970, H.L. Hunt was losing money in his food enterprise known as H.L.H. Products, and his sons Nelson Bunker and W. Herbert decided to find out why. They suspected several top executives of embezzling large sums of money and hired two bumbling private detectives to bug their telephone lines in Richardson. Not surprisingly, the private eyes were caught, and the Hunts hired Tessmer and Dallas attorney Emmett Colvin to represent the men. After an extensive federal investigation lasting more than three years, the Hunt brothers were also indicted.
Tessmer and Colvin spent those years claiming that the police search of the wiretappers' car was illegal. They took the case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court and lost.
Days before Tessmer's client, John Kelly, was about to start his five-year sentence, he phoned his lawyer, seemingly anxious about going to prison. Tessmer made the mistake of telling Kelly, "I'm sure the Hunts will take care of you," not knowing that Kelly was now bugging him. The setup was part of the government's attempt to prove that Tessmer, the Hunt brothers, and their lawyers had conspired to obstruct justice by trying to keep the wiretappers from testifying against the Hunts.
Tessmer didn't help himself when he appeared in front of a Dallas grand jury and claimed he didn't recall his phone conversation with Kelly, which the government had recorded. So in July 1975, when the grand jury returned its conspiracy indictment against the lawyers, it also indicted Tessmer for perjury.
Reporter Hugh Aynsworth, who was the Houston bureau chief for Newsweekand friends with Tessmer, found out that the FBI had Tessmer on tape. "I phoned Tessmer," Aynsworth recalls. "I told him he needed to get straight with those people." Tessmer wrote a letter to the U.S. Attorneys' Office in Dallas, admitting to the conversation with Kelly but claiming he was intoxicated at the time.
Jim Rolfe, then the assistant U.S. attorney handling the case, never thought the charges had much merit in the first place. "We made the wise decision to dismiss it," he says. "And Tessmer pleaded no contest to the misdemeanor charge of contempt of court." The judge ordered him to pay a fine of $1,000, but no one could punish Tessmer as much as he would punish himself.
Tessmer had spent a legal lifetime trying to convince the public that the practice of criminal law was a noble calling. Suddenly his ethics had been impugned. The conviction was a festering wound that wouldn't heal.
"He was never the same lawyer again," George Milner says. "I have never seen a lawyer come back from an indictment, win or lose. You always feel like a target, looking over your shoulder. You can never get back to where you were."
Tessmer says referrals from other lawyers dried up. "My phone just stopped ringing. They wondered if I would be going to prison before my clients did." He felt abandoned by some of his closest friends. Many in his entourage wanted nothing to do with him. Tessmer even cut back on his drinking. Somewhat.
It took more than two years for his business to rebound, but even then Tessmer didn't feel comfortable in federal court, "because I had been there as a defendant," he says. But that's where all the big business was headed: The war on drugs was heating up, with its huge fees from cocaine smugglers. They would be followed by the savings-and-loan scandal of the late '80's, known among the Dallas criminal bar as "The Lawyer's Retirement Act."
Trial work is for the young, and these trials were going to a new cast of characters -- Milner, Billy Ravkind, Frank Jackson, Doug Mulder -- who got their education, their butts kicked, or both from Charlie Tessmer.
In 1982, Milner asked for Tessmer's assistance in the arson trial of John and Sharon Altman. The Altmans owned a two-story leather-manufacturing business in downtown Dallas that burned to the ground less than 15 minutes after they left their warehouse for the night. The prosecution believed the Altmans had poured kerosene on the second floor and started the fire to collect the insurance. Tessmer and Milner claimed the fire started accidentally from a smoldering cigarette. The jury agreed with Tessmer and Milner.
"Charlie was able to lead some of my witnesses down the path where I knew they would be ambushed at the end," says Ted Steinke, who was the lead prosecutor on the case. "It was a textbook course in cross-examination."
Even into his late 60s, Tessmer still had it -- he just didn't feel as compelled to prove it. He began to slow down, farming out tougher cases to younger lawyers, but every so often, a good old-fashioned multiple homicide would get his blood flowing again.
In 1990, Gerald King, a deacon in an East Oak Cliff Baptist church, shot and killed two other deacons while counting the collection-plate offerings after Sunday services. Tessmer was reluctant to take the case, but couldn't help himself after he became convinced King was acting in self-defense. Convincing a jury, however, proved a more formidable task. As Tessmer exhaustively outlined the evidence in his closing argument, he made a surprising announcement, almost by way of apology: "I am going to be turning 70 next month, and I just don't have it anymore. This will probably be my last big case."
It was quite moving -- the old warrior declaring he would no longer be fighting the good fight. But Tessmer wasn't serious. He was just trying to milk whatever sympathy he could for his client. He'd even ordered new business cards before the trial began. The ploy must have helped. Prosecutors were furious when the jury sentenced King to 15 years instead of the life sentence they had sought.
The press, however, took him seriously. Both the Dallas Times Herald and The Dallas Morning News ran lengthy stories saying Tessmer was "probably" hanging up his vest. "The press made me, and the press retired me," says Tessmer, whose phone stopped ringing once again.
But this time he didn't seem to mind.
The practice of law had entered the computer age, and Tessmer was reluctant to go there. Skyrocketing overhead and time sheets and paralegals were more than he cared to deal with. It took him another year to make up his mind, but he finally decided to retire. After 40 years of trying cases, Charles Tessmer packed up his things, closed up his shop, and went home.
He greets visitors in his blue seersucker robe and house slippers, talking the talk of the elderly, answering a simple "how you doing?" with the latest prognosis on what's ailing him. His persistent nosebleeds caused him to delay his recent child-abuse case.
There's an antique wall clock that's stopped running, and he is waiting for the repairman to fix it -- that's all he has planned for the day, he says. But he's busier than he lets on. He tried retirement for about a year, but grew bored "watching reruns of The Fugitive." So he accepted Frank Jackson's invitation to become "of counsel" with his firm. "That's where you get an office and don't have to pay any rent," he says.He never imagined he'd be living in Garland in a small, unadorned ranch home. Tessmer remarried after his first wife's death, and he moved here at his new wife's insistence so she could take care of her 91-year-old mother. The house smells museum-musty and looks cluttered, and much of its wall space is dedicated to the yellowed newspaper clips, old black-and-white photos, and gold commemorative plaques. There is one he is particularly proud of: In 1988, the Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association inducted Charles W. Tessmer into its Hall of Fame.
His continuing practice amuses and worries his friends.
"I'm afraid he might do something to damage his great reputation," Ron Goranson says. In trial, his flashes of brilliance are followed by lapses of memory.
But Tessmer proved he could still try a case when he won an acquittal six months ago in a DWI trial. "The initial facts didn't look good for him," recalls Dallas Judge Dan Wyde, who presided over the case. "But he got the officer to admit a different version of the facts than he put in his police report. That's not too common."
"Charlie's like an old fire horse," says Stan Weinberg, who assisted him in the trial. "When the phone rings he's ready to go, a little slower perhaps, with a few more aches and pains. But he's still ready to go."
The repairman arrives at his house and begins to work on the wall clock. "I always thought that I would keep running as long as that clock did," he tells him.
Tessmer suggests his own reason why he's still practicing law 50 years after he began. "I need the money. I have some put away, but I don't know if I will outlive it. I never thought I would be 79. I thought I would be dead at 40, the way I was living."
He says he still "partakes of the grape"; he's a regular at the VFW Post on Garland Road, where he "can still buy old soldiers drinks...at half price." And why should he stop anyway? "Most of my AA friends are dead and buried," he says.
The repairman has finished quicker than expected, and Tessmer demands to see the invoice. "I want your boss' name and phone number," he bellows, his sonorous voice intimidating the repairman.
Tessmer grabs the paper and dials the number. "Yes, this is Charles Tessmer, and I have your man here," he declares. "I just want you to know he has done an admirable job."
The repairman looks relieved; his face beams with appreciation.
Instinctively, Tessmer reaches for one of his business cards and hands it to him. Never know when you might need a good criminal lawyer.

Not many people know that my background is in business and economics. Not many people know this because it is a well-kept secret. Nevertheless, I like to dust off the Michael Douglas power-braces every now and then and get all business speaky. Here's my list of ten go-getter strategies for the teacher blogger looking to maximize their ISTEK conference experience.
1. Go through the schedule of the event with a fine tooth comb. Decide in advance exactly what – and who – you want to see. Get an idea of a killer question you could ask the presenter based on the description of their session. This might just lead to a conversation after and a valuable contact for the future.
2. Do a thorough Twitter search of anyone presenting at the event. The ISTEK participants are making this pretty easy for you by being quite vocal in the days leading up to the conference (check the #ISTEK and #ISTEKelt hashtags to see what I mean). You can decide who you want to follow and initiate conversations beforehand. This works quite well for people like me who, despite being happy to stand up in front of a bunch of teenagers every day, is actually something of a recluse.
3. Use the Twitter jungle drum to announce that you'll be visiting conference X in city Y. Let everyone know you're coming. You'll probably be able to initiate friendships that could lead to possible future collaborations. You don't use Twitter? Get started now!
4. Find out if any of the attendees have a blog or a Twitter stream. Think how good it would be to know what's going on in someone's teaching life before you bump into them? Also, have a scour of people's Twitter streams before saying hello at the event. You'll be able to strike up a conversation about what they're enjoying at the moment or that thing that's really annoying them.
5. As a blogger it might be an idea to prepare a couple of post-dated pieces so you don't have to fret about writing something just before or during the conference. You could revisit an old post if you're stuck for something to write about. Did you attend the same event last year? See what you said then and reflect on it. Here's a great example from Ken Wilson.
6. Get that absolute belter of an article ready during the days leading up to the conference, and unleash it on the day of the event. The chances are that people will be checking out your blog during or just before an event, so make the most of this window of opportunity and wow 'em.
7. In the lead up to the event, think about how you can write posts that will lead to conversations. If you're interested in a particular methodological argument or have a strong opinion about a certain piece of technological gadgetry, make sure you share that opinion and that you're interested in what others have to say on the subject.
8. Exploit the likes of Twitter and Facebook for all they're worth. Use the event's hash tag (I'll remind you, it's #ISTEK in case you don't want to scroll up the page and find it). People will be using Twitter Search or nosing around in Facebook to find info about the conference: make sure they found you.
9. Make a video about something and post it on your blog. Scott Thornbury did this recently to great effect (although who wouldn't recognise him?). Videos can be much better for getting people to recognise you than photos, plus they are still a relative novelty in the blogosphere. People will think you're clever and techy and want to be your friend.
10. Blog about as many people who you know will be at the conference that you want to connect with. Don't be shy: discuss on your blog what you might want to talk about. People like to feel special and this will make them feel special. For example, I want to meet up with @DaveDodgson because he's a Brit in Turkey and I think he has great enthusiasm for his job and some fantastic ideas about teaching. I also want to meet @harrisonmike because his passion for what he does shines through in his blog posts. See how easy it is (I just hope they are reading this)
This should be enough to keep you busy over the next few days. I'll hopefully see you all at ISTEK next weekend.
Who wrote this drivel?
Adam is the blogger behind the eclectic mess of ideas that is Teach them English: A Year in the Life of an English Teacher. Now oxymoronically in its second year, his blog aims to share aspects of his day to day life with the unsuspecting and largely undeserving (of such tomfoolery) ELT community. Drop by and say hello.

"We have found the Messiah." (John 1:41
Regardless of how we found Christ, our task is to provide the kind of witness that others may find him too. One of the two men who followed Jesus, as he began his ministry, was a fisherman named Andrew. The day Andrew spent with Jesus changed his life. He went to find his brother Simon who was also a fisherman. Andrew told his brother, "We have found the Messiah." Perhaps Andrew had never been so excited about anything in his life as he was that day. Simon looked into his brother's eyes and knew he was sincere. Simon wanted to meet this teacher that his brother was so excited about. Andrew took his brother to meet Jesus.
When they found him, Jesus looked at Simon and said, "You are Simon, son of John. You are to be called Cephas." We know Simon or Cephas as Peter, leader of the early church. Peter became a disciple of Jesus thanks to the witness of his brother, Andrew. History would never again be the same.
Dear God, may your spirit help me to bring someone closer to you today. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Get Your Dog Care Questions Answered by Experts
Neither a food allergy nor food intolerance is expected to cause lymphadenopathy (swollen lymph nodes) - at least visible lymphadneopathy. Food allergy is an immediate reaction; not enough time passes for lymph nodes to swell. Food intolerance is a delayed response characterized by production of antibodies in mucosal secretions from the bowel. Lymph nodes associated with the gastrointestinal tract may enlarge but we don't expect to see that with peripheral (visible) lymph nodes.

Whether your teen years shaped you, scarred you, or left you more or less unscathed, there's no denying that Hollywood harbors a special love for high school movies.

Take note, students; here is Jackalope Ranch's flow chart to getting popular, getting it on, or simply getting through high school (and college, and adulthood).

What characteristics make a leader? Are you aware of the qualities and skills needed to lead others to success? Leaders exhibit humility and a willingness to keep learning. From this article, you can gain some insight into improving your leadership qualities.
Honesty is one of the most important qualities in a good leader. Leaders should always strive to take people in better directions. Your team will appreciate your honesty and reward you with respect. Always be honest when dealing with your colleagues because you can influence them to be honest.
Keep things as simple as you can. Focus on the important things. After these things are done, then you'll be able to set up more priorities. Try to simplify your work. Make time for yourself to think.
Never do anything that could be considered unethical, illegal or underhanded. In order for your business to be successful in the long-term, being ethical is key. When customers know you are looking out for their best interest, they will remain faithful to you. Discipline employees who fail to follow the principles you have set up because one bad employee can ruin an entire company.
Be ethical when dealing with others. Every sound business must be ethical. Customers respect a company which has strong values. By developing a set of moral responsibilities for your company's employees, you can help ensure that the rules are followed.
Give incentives for well done work. While it is true that people get paid to work, they will put in even more effort if they have a reward goal to aim for. Rewarding a hard-working employee is important. Being cheap is a good way to not have good employees.
When you are a leader, try focusing on the people while allowing the work to do well on its own. Learn how you can best inspire and encourage those who are working with you. Avoid micromanaging your team. Trust that you have delegated responsibilities appropriately and offer assistance in helping your employees reach their goals.
You subordinates will judge you by the decisions you make. The team member you assign to certain projects, and other decisions you make regarding hiring and firing affects the way your team members think of you. Showing even slight favoritism rather than using merit to determine rewards will undermine your leadership efforts.
One of the most important leadership characteristics is tenacity. When problems arise, the entire team will look to you to gauge their own reactions. You have to focus on the completion and the solution for any task and problem, regardless of what things appear as obstacles. When you model persistence and a positive attitude, your team is inspired to pick themselves up and work toward their goals again.
As a leader, you should take a bit of time out of each day to check on how the workplace is going. You could appoint a few people to provide daily input. Ask for suggestions and take what they say to heart.
Do not act like you know it all. While your ideas might be great, remember that helpful people can always add to them or bring different perspectives. Many times they can give suggestions to you that you may have overlooked.
You need to know the difference between dreams and drive. These are often mixed up in a leader's mind. If something is taking up space in your mind, it needs to be dealt with. Write it on some paper and get past it.
Don't be dishonest or devious. To be a trustworthy leader you need to keep the promises that you make. If you claim to provide the best service in your particular business category, make sure all your employees understand how to provide the best service.
Always keep your promises. Follow through with what you promise to do. If that is impossible for some reason, you need to let others know why. Welching on promises and changing plans for no apparent reason will gain you no respect.
Good work can flow more readily in the presence of strong incentives. Sure, everyone is getting paid, but an incentive can be a great motivational tool. If a worker goes beyond their job description, encourage them by giving them a gift or bonus. A good leader isn't a cheapskate.
Be sincere and confident when talking to clients, customers and employees. However, do not confuse arrogance for confidence. Being an arrogant leader will not instill confidence and garner respect. Forthrightness is a great way to foster trust and respect between the team and yourself. Employees will also notice when you're lying to them.
Learn all you can by reading about the habits and characteristics of effective leaders. The sky is the limit for truly great leaders. Have confidence in yourself.
Be a good role model for your employees. You title does not make you inherently right. Setting a good example makes it much easier for employees to be friendly and hardworking. Don not be hypocritical. Always strive to be a person deserving of respect.

Was really warm and sunny this day, the white & floral was a perfect combo.

"Just breathe," Amelia ordered the girl, who immediately complied, taking several short inhales and then a quick exhale. She threw her head back and let out another agonized cry and Gryffon's heart went out to her. If only there was something he could do.
"Push!" yelled Amelia, and Layna's grip on his hand tightened, her knuckles turning white with the pressure. She groaned through clenched teeth and strained, collapsing into an exhausted heap a moment later.
A new cry pierced the suddenly quiet room, a baby's cry, and Gryffon pulled against the hand still restraining his to try and catch a glimpse of their little one. Amelia washed the girl and swaddled her in a clean blanket before handing her to Layna.
The glowing pride in her eyes as she looked lovingly down at their daughter made Gryffon's heart soar. She gently put her finger into the baby's hand, "Welcome to the world, our little angel, Princess Phoenix."
She held the baby up for Gryffon and he beamed at her, tenderly taking her from his wife. The little girl had a birthmark on her right temple, in the shape of a flame. It was the blessing from the Three and her namesake, Adrastea who had been nicknamed 'Phoenix'. Layna moved over in the sheets and patted the bed next to her. The servants took their leave - though Gryffon hardly noticed, he was so caught up in his own happiness - and he lightly settled himself and the babe onto the bed with Layna.
This moment was perfect.
It was hard to believe the events which had led up to this instant, but Gryffon wouldn't change any of it for the world. Less than two years before, he had been a spy in the foreign country of Gelendan, having infiltrated the household of the vile Lady Jezebel in order to observe the dealings of her father. He had been unable to deny the incredible draw that he had felt towards Layna, who was but a maid at the time, and their friendship had blossomed into the bond that they shared today. Neither was complete without the other, and together they were an unmatchable force.
Their association had led them into a wild chain of events which culminated in a world-saving quest and the discovery that Layna was not simply the farm-girl and maid she believed herself to be, but actually the rightful heir and now Queen of Gelendan. Unfortunately, King Nathair, with the help of the Bloodstone containing the tainted essence of the dragon-god, Nuko, had made a mess of the country before he and Layna had become reigning monarchs.

Bathrooms are a focal point in the debate around design of emergency family shelters that are to ultimately replace DC General.
DC's Progressive Values Must Guide Its Homeless Services Policies
Amendments to the HSRA should be evaluated through the lens of our values as a progressive city. Stay tuned for spotlights on different parts of the legislation, stories from affected community members and ways to get involved in this advocacy.
The time to speak up about the Homeless Services Reform Act is now!
The HSRA is a crucial tool in our mission to use the law to break down barriers to justice facing our neighbors experiencing homelessness in DC.
Homeless Services Reform Amendment Act of 2017
The root causes of homelessness cannot be solved by narrowing the front door to shelter, or by imposing arbitrary time limits on housing.

On June 8th, we invite you to join us in the fight for housing justice by supporting our work through Do More 24.
Set Up to Fail – Rapid Rehousing in the District of Columbia
Given that poverty and a lack of affordable housing are the driving forces behind skyrocketing family homelessness in the District, policy makers must focus on preserving and building deeply affordable family housing and tenant vouchers rather than continue to champion short-term programs that offer less effective, shorter term solutions.

I have a few of Doreen Virtue's oracle card decks. (love them!) I was excited about this deck, but never expected such a connection. I barely got the deck open and I could feel it! I was amazed... there really aren't words to explain it. I just "know" this is a deck that will guide me on a wonderful journey, with many conversations of guidance with Spirit that lay ahead! Thank you so much Doreen & Charles for this oracle deck.

Maybe I've matured as a reader now but I think I haven't enjoyed any classic as much as I did this one. It was thicker and longer than many a novel, but I enjoyed it the better for it. By the end, I understood why it was so long, the ending justified it. I was so daunted by its iconic title to read it before, but it was easier to read than most classics. The experience was complete, there wasn't anything missing, it had everything and so so much more.
Published in 1847-1848, Vanity Fair is a Victorian satire and covers the English era during and after the Napoleonic Wars. The novel is about two women, totally opposite to each other, who after completing their education set out into the world. One an orphan, alone and friendless in the world except for her companion who is charming, witty, satirical, poised, manipulative, and striving to make her way into the world while the other, good-natured but passive and naïve, engaged from early childhood and belonging to a prosperous family. Thus the adventure begins, of love and loss, death and tragedy, trickery and deceit, innocence and naiveté, war and conflict.
Thackeray talks about British Raj of those times and the Battle of Waterloo which changes the course of the lives of the protagonists. The writing is rich with historical, Biblical, and literary allusions and references. The omniscient narration is most endearing.
The title of the novel, Vanity Fair, has been iconic to this day. Turns out it comes from John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress, a Christian allegory published in 1678. The author explains his title again and again in the novel bringing its significance to light.
The author declares the heroine of the novel in the very beginning but subtitled his novel "A novel without a hero" which I don't agree with, by the way. I recognized a hero in William Dobbin by the latter part of the novel.
Thackeray's writing portrayed a realism unfound among the writers of his time. Thackeray discusses the human nature, explores the hypocrisy of society, and takes the curtain off the mysteries of life for a moment and lets us take a peek in.
The novel is about sticking to the idols we make, ourselves, of people we think we love but which are nothing like the reality, our need to believe in our ideals no matter how false they may be, the egotism and of course the vanity of the innocent and the cunning, the rich and the poor alike, the human infidelity, the brutal reality of being poor, human greed, of closing our eyes to what is right in front of us, the truth, the frailty of relations, of friendship and opportunism.
Thackeray shows us and believes that love triumphs in the end, but so does villainy, it doesn't get retribution enough, but I had the underlying sense that depravity is a punishment in itself.
"All is vanity". Ecclesiastes 1.2.

For the September social meeting the girls of Sigma Alpha walked the runway of the Big 12 Room in the K-State Student Union. Each member wore their favorite professional dress outfit and showcased the right way to rock fashion in the work place. After the fashion show we enjoyed a chapter clothing swap where members could get trade old or unwanted clothing items with their fellow sisters. We finished the night with a group outing to The Purple Pump in Aggieville where we enjoyed trying on our new clothes and trying on shoes to add to our professional wardrobe. The night was an epic success as we bonded with our fellow sisters and enjoyed the gracious hospitality of The Purple Pump. Next month's meeting will be a costume party look forward to creative, crafty and outrageous costumes in the next social meeting blog!
In Sisterhood,

Here is the problem. Donor retention is a big issue for many non-profits.
In fact, according to the 2017 Fundraising Effectiveness Survey, from 2015 to 2016 the average retention rate was only 45%.
Understanding the retention rates of your donors is crucial. Take a look at how your rates compare to previous years. Looking exclusively at overall campaign performance and new gift acquisitions may not paint an accurate picture. Understanding the gains and losses from both a dollar and donor perspective will help you allocate your resources to improve fundraising effectiveness and stability.
"It usually costs less to retain and motivate an existing donor than to attract a new one. For most organizations…taking positive steps to reduce gift and donor losses is the least expensive strategy for increasing net fundraising gains." – 2014 Fundraising Effectiveness Survey Report (1)
But, there is a solution.
So, how do you keep them coming back? The first step is understanding what motivates these donors. And second, effectively communicating with them in a way that they appreciate.
Here is a valuable, guiding insight that was found in Blackbaud's Donor Perspectives: An Investigation into What Drives Your Donors To Give (2):
"When taken together, the results indicate that while personal finances greatly contribute to donor decisions about regular donations, charities can do more to keep these important donations. By tracking the impact of contributions and communicating that impact back to donors, nonprofits can increase the number of regular donors and ensure they are not losing the regular donors they have".
Here is how we can implement this solution.
There's a lot of competition out there for donor dollars and it's growing. You need to ensure donors understand the impact their dollars are having. That's what motivates them, that's why they give. Those stories need to be told. Share the story of the patient who made a major recovery because of donor-funded research advancement. Or, the student who graduated and went on to make a world-changing breakthrough thanks to the scholarship they received through your foundation. These stories resonate with donors. They connect on an emotional level – and it's this connection that will keep them coming back year after year.
While this likely goes without saying, do not forget the importance of thanking these donors for their generosity. Appreciating them and recognizing them for the gifts they bring to your facility is paramount. Donors want this; it's a motivating feeling for them. And, it is important that their acknowledgment is reflective of the size of their donation.
Like any stakeholder in your organization, donors want to be heard. Enabling them to provide input reinforces their vested interest in your organization. Be it a personal conversation, an email, online surveys – all of these are opportunities to listen to your donors and keep them feeling connected. Simply letting them know their opinion is valued, and even acting on their suggestions, can have a big impact on their loyalty to your cause.
While it won't be possible to retain every donor, you can definitely improve your current retention rate by taking the time to effectively communicate. Listen, learn and build a lasting relationship with your donors that will withstand the test of time.
