  1. That article references a Bloomberg Report. The Bloomberg Report indicates that attorney's for Led Zeppelin declined comment. Settlement offers and negotiations are not admissible at the trial, so they are trying to get that out there to potential jurors. Here is the quote: "Peter Anderson, a lawyer for Page, Plant, and their record labels, declined to comment after the hearing."
  2. You helped me quit smoking 10 years ago. You bring up thenothwr side of the coin that is equally, if not more important. The irrational belief that smoking wont significantly impact you, or morbid obesity, or whatever.
  3. I think with HPV, as distinguished from long standing vaccines for other diseases, parents may want more input into their child getting an HPV vaccine: As of September 1, 2015, there had been 295 claims filed in the federal Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) for injuries and deaths following HPV vaccination, including 13 deaths and 282 serious injuries. Using the MedAlerts search engine, as of Sept. 30, 2015, there were a total of 37,474 vaccine reaction reports made to the federal Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) associated with Gardasil vaccinations, including 209 deaths. There were a total of 3,119 vaccine adverse reaction reports made to VAERS associated with Cervarix vaccinations, including 16 deaths. (Merck’s Gardasil vaccine, which was the first HPV vaccine licensed in the U.S., has the majority of the HPV vaccine market in the U.S.). That is a direct quote from the National Vaccine Information Center http://www.nvic.org/Vaccines-and-Diseases/hpv.aspx
  4. The leading cause for cervical cancer in women and throat cancer in men is the lack of a HPV in one or more sexual partners. Ask the actor Michael Douglas whether he cares if children in this day and age should require parental consent prior to getting this particular vaccination. The lack of HPV?
  5. The National Vaccination Center also has information state by atate. Here is a link to their site describing the new California law which removes all exemptions for the required vaccinations. The twist in California is that a child A over 12 years of age can get vaccinated for STDs WITHOUT PARENTAL CONSENT. HPV is not a required vaccination in most states, or maybe any states. That is a real issue. http://www.nvic.org/Vaccine-Laws/state-vaccine-requirements/california.aspx
  6. It goes state by state for religious or philosophical differences. Here is anlink to see who does what, place to avoid. http://www.cdc.gov/phlp/publications/topic/vaccinations.html
  7. Here is a thread on vaccines, one of about 10 I think. https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?/topic/155045-for-your-consideration/#entry1830656 I think if you do a search on Jenny McCarthy you will probably find another 5, whooping cough another five, ad nauseaum
  8. What a hugh surprise you posting this. You have this on the brain? Are you OCD by any chance.
  9. It is just beginning, this will go on for quite awhile. PRINCE Judge orders Bremer Trust to handle Prince's estate By EMMA NELSON , STAR TRIBUNE April 27, 2016 - 5:47 PM Following an emergency conference call Wednesday morning, a Carver County district judge ordered that a special administrator be appointed to manage the estate of the late musician Prince. Bremer Trust, National Association — an affiliate of the bank that provided financial services to Prince while he was alive — will serve as special administrator. The order from District Judge Kevin Eide came a day after Prince’s sister, Tyka Nelson, filed a motion to have a special administrator appointed to gather and protect the musician’s assets. The document indicated that Prince, who died April 21 at age 57, does not have a will. According to court documents, the matter “was heard informally via conference call on an emergency basis” because not all interested parties could be notified of the motion. Tyka Nelson and her attorneys were present for the call, as was Prince’s half-brother, Omarr Baker. Attorneys and staff from Bremer Trust also participated. In addition to Tyka Nelson and Baker, Prince’s half-siblings John Nelson, Norrine Nelson, Sharon Nelson, Alfred Jackson and Lorna Nelson — who died in 2006 — were listed as heirs in Tuesday’s motion. The special administrator has the authority to manage and supervise Prince’s assets and determine the identity of any heirs. The appointment will last up to six months, or until another petition is filed to administer the estate and a personal representative is appointed. A hearing on the matter is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. May 2 in Carver County District Court. Meanwhile, the first challenge to Prince’s estate was filed in Carver County Wednesday afternoon by Rodney Herachio Dixon, of Murrieta, Calif. Dixon, formerly known as Aeric Alexander Mercury and Rameses America Mercury claims to have legal rights to all of Prince’s intellectual property because of what he called a $1 billion “implied agreement” relating to the music in Prince’s music catalog, including unpublished works in his vault. Dixon, who represents himself, said in his filing that his claim originates from two lawsuits filed in California in the mid 1990s.
  10. From another site: Lorna Nelson Lorna Nelson, Prince's half-sister, passed away at the age of 63 in 2006. In 1989, she was part of a lawsuit against Prince, Duane, and her father. She claimed that "U Got the Look" infringed on her own copyrighted song, "What's Cooking in This Book." She also requested her share of compensation for lyrics she co-authored with John. The case was dismissed, according to Justia. When Sharon put together her album, she included music from her dad, John, and her sister, Lorne. You can see a photo of Lorne on Sharon's MySpace page here. (MySpace/Sharon Nelson)" http://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/F2/873/1141/432403/ Padden wasn't involved in that lawsuit, which was Lorna against Prince and Duane. So I don't believe he would have a conflict representing both Duane and Lorna against Prince in other lawsuits as long as their interests were aligned. It is difficult to say without knowing what the lawsuits were about.
  11. "In 1997, Nelson wound up in Hennepin County Jail after an altercation with process servers and neighbors. His sister, Lorna Nelson, who died in 2006, wanted Prince to bail Duane out of jail. Duane called me from jail and said, "Please, if you could get me out of here tomorrow, then I could think again." Around the time of this brush with the law, Duane told me a restraining order had been filed against him by Prince. After Prince reportedly fired Duane from Paisley Park, they had a very rocky relationship and, I know from phone calls with Duane and running into him downtown many years ago, he appeared to have fallen on hard times." Filing a protective order against someone who was allegedly furnishing you with Perocet doesn't appear to jive.
  12. No, their both dead. They were half-siblings from a previous marriage. The headlines sure make it sound like he is currently representing "siblings" though doesn't it. That's the problem with some of these stories, if you don't read between the lines or scratch the surface, you get misled.
  13. JL I think you have nailed it, stuff flying around. The entertainment news media are going to be able to grab and publish "stories" up until the day the autopsy and toxicology results are released.Now, anybody can say pretty much whatever they want to say about him if they had access to him. Some of these "news" outlets pay for stories. More mainstream news media have strict policies on paying for stories. Once the autopsy is released (assuming it is doesn't end up inconclusive) will make many of these stories worthless if they don't match with the facts. The attorney was relating information that was told to him by clients ten years ago, both of whom are deceased. He sued Prince on behalf of one of them when Prince fired them from the band. I think the term for that is a "disgruntled former employee." I think that most people are looking at these preliminary reports with a cautious and cynical eye. Here is quote I saw, how reliable is this? "Padden has filed several lawsuits against Prince in the past, including one in which he represented Duane Nelson against Prince after Duane was fired by the musician. Padden has spoken with the police about the allegations of Prince’s drug use, according to the Star Tribune. “All I can tell you is that his sister independently corroborated every single thing Duane said to me,” Padden told the newspaper. “It wasn’t like I was proactive seeking information.” Prince’s final official cause of death likely won’t be made public for weeks as authorities wait for reports from the medical examiner and toxicology results."
  14. HBO Now tood over Go here in Austin. It streams fine. Whether on a tablet, or Apple TV box. It has more selection and content than HBO on demand.
  15. I like the Mac suggestions, the Blueberry Xtreame, the EAR is really solid, Tim is a genius. I have heard it myself, but Craig's pre is supposed to be pretty spectacular. I agree with Bruce, going to depend what it is matching up with.
  16. Very impressive list there FJD. I have owned a few of those, or home auditioned, and certainly agree they should be on your list.
  17. We like it, it has more features and selection than HBO on demand. We watch more HBO through the Apple TV box than we do on HBO channel.

  19. Assuming he really was really HIV positive, I haven't seen any confirmation of that yet. May be true. Magic stopped taking HIV medicine for a time becauae he convinced himself that he was "cured". I will wait on the autopsy to see what they say on that, T cell count, etc. Prince had hip replacement surgery in 2010. I have seen confirmation of that and is being reported by CBS. That will be confirmed by autopsy as well.
  20. Prince was notoriously straight edge his whole life. I heard on an interview that he was suffering from arthritis, and the implication was that he had indeed started taking opiates, and as anyone who has used such for pain management knows the risks involved. All conjecture at this point, but I don't think it necessarily means heroin or that he did the Charlie Parker thing. That was never his style, ever.Apparently his ex drug dealer came forward and explained everything. Supposedly he has been addicted to pills for the past 25 years, paid $40,000 for a 6 month supply of Dilaudid pills at a time. Supposedly didn't want to get into all the after-effects of heroin, which is why nobody ever saw him shoot up.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3555292/Prince-s-former-drug-dealer-reveals-extent-addiction.html Surprising if true: Dilaudid is more commonly known as hydromorphone which should not be combined with fentanyl long term. Also if true, it is interesting to see he also refused all conventional medical treatment.No matter your religion; God helps those who help themselves. You are back to that again? He obviously didn't refuse all medical treatment if he was picking up prescriptions at Walgreens in the days before his death.If, a big if, he was diagnosed with HIV, he wasn't refusing medical treatment when he went in to see a doctor who sent his blood off to be tested, and went back, presumably for results and then declining the AZT type meds. Most opiate addicts I am aware of avoid medical treatment if they are self medicating. Either to avoid detection. I think there is a major difference between avoidance and refusal. However, I think the facts on what doctors he was seeing, or refusing to see, will all be coming out in the coming weeks. Did you actually read the article? This part is particularly helpful in understanding what is being reported: Prince 'was diagnosed with AIDS six months before he died and refused treatment because he believed God would heal him'. There is a significant difference between diagnosis and treatment. At the end of the diagnosis, the prognosis is determined. If this article is factual, he reportedly refused medical treatment. No effective physician will allow a patient to pick and choose what treatment they will accept and what they wont. People who don't believe in medical treatment don't go in for a dx, they skip it all together, otherwise what's the point. Farah Fawcett had a dx of colon cancet but refused the typical tx in the US because she didn't want to lose her hair. Ultimately she relented and started the typical treatment at UCLA after some European alternatives. Unfortunately it was too late. People ignore medical advice all the time, for a myriad of reasons. Someone who goes to a doctor to a doctor to get RXs doesn't seem the type to refuse "all" medical tx.
  21. That must have been quite interesting. Where there a lot of people? Flowers?
  22. Those are great, as JB would say, TOP NOTCH

  24. The Yanks should have stayed clear of what was then called Upper Canada. Burning York and butchering people has consequences. Had Napoleon not tied down the bulk of British regular forces in Spain and elsewhere in Europe until 1814 there might not have been anything left of the White House to paint white. Had British General Isaac Brock not been killed in the midst of winning the battle of Queenston Heights in 1812, anything Napoleon was doing to tie down British Regulars would not have mattered. Seems to be a lot of "hads" when it comes to the British. Had ol' King George accepted the olive branch we might all be drinking tea today. My recollection, based on what they teach us down here, of the reason the US declared war was the British impressment of US Sailors, by the thousands. They were always arrogant when it came to their Navy. One good iutcome was that subsequent conflicts between the British and the US were resolved by diplomacy and negotiation starting with the Rush-Bagot treaty.
  25. That's what England said to the Irish while they starved them to death, and in the meantime shipping meat and other food from Ireland to England. Edit---quote is Travis not mustang guy. The Royal Forest started with the William the Bastard/Conqueror and the Norman Kings. The King owns all of the Royal animals within the forest and he had the exclusive right to hunt them, or allow others to hunt them. It also gave him dominion over the vegetation (vert). This was carried over in various forms up to the Magna Carta which has several provisions relating to the King's rights of the forests. That evolved up to the present day in the Forestry Commission. I think the Penal Law was an entirely different thing and went well beyond declaring what was allowed to be hunted. I guess you are speaking about a much later time of the fammin? I think the Penal Law was clearly what set Ireland for such a disaster.
