It's the one he created for Las Vegas, and depicts a girl resembling Natalie Wood lying by the pool.

Resolved Question: How in the world can Joe Jackson be asking from his son's estate a whopping $2,500 to eat out;?

The filings are inconsistent in several places, listing Joe Jackson's age as 80 in one place and 81 in another. A declaration states his monthly expenses exceed $20,000 a month, but an itemized list only includes slightly more than $15,000. That list includes $1,200 a month on rent for his Las Vegas home; $2,500 to eat out; $1,000 on entertainment, gifts and vacations; $2,000 on air travel and $3,000 on hotels. A phone message left for Oxman was not immediately returned. A judge on Friday denied Joe Jackson's petition for an expedited hearing on the matter. A hearing is scheduled for early 2010 at which time the payments to Katherine Jackson may be re-evaluated http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091107/ap_on_en_mu/us_jackson_estate;_ylt=Asn98MTITMSADCr9MAvtdM9H2ocA;_ylu=X3oDMTM2bmlsb2thBGFzc2V0A2FwLzIwMDkxMTA3L3VzX2phY2tzb25fZXN0YXRlBGNjb2RlA21vc3Rwb3B1bGFyBGNwb3MDNARwb3MDNARzZWMDeW5fdG9wX3N0b3JpZXMEc2xrA2pvZWphY2tzb25zZQ--I realize this, but how can one man need $2,500 to eat out,what is he eating ? more

Resolved Question: I'm trying to find my grandfather, all I know is he was a air force officer at Nellis AFB in 1954.?

My grandmother worked in Vegas in 1954 and became pregnant. She then moved to Sacramento CA to live with her sister and brother in-law. A few months after my mom was born, her mother and sister were killed in a car accident. My mom was then adopted by a family in Detroit. When she was an adult she started searching for information about her mother and father. She was able to find her grandmother on her moms side. By going over old letters and talking to her mothers brother in-law, we were able to get a little information on her father. He was described as the "big Greek" and we found a letter that said that he gave my grandmother $20 to travel to Sacramento from Las Vegas, and how that wasn't very much for him being an Officer. So with that we assume he was an Officer at Nellis A.F.B. He also would have been very tall, my mom is 5'11 and I am 6'6. I don't know if he had a greek name or if he just looked greek, or why he was referred as "the big greek." A few years ago my mom had a DNA test and it showed she was around 20% Native-American, her mother was from England, so that meant her father had to be 40-50% Native-American. So I am looking for a guy that is a tall greek and or native american that was a officer probably at Nellis A.F.B. in 1954. If anyone knows someone that fits this criteria or can help in any way that would be much appreciated, thanks. more

Resolved Question: Can someone please skim through this and check the grammar? (it's short)?

(I'm absolutely terrible with grammar, this is a short 600 word essay I had to write for a scholarship and I really want to get it, but I won't be able to with this atrocious grammar! Please help me!) “What? She has cancer?” My mother’s eyes widened in horror, “I’m coming,” Vacations are meant to be taken to escape—if not temporarily—from the repetitive ‘lifestyles’ we all experience in our lives: the perpetual job, dragging days at school, all too familiar faces. Rarely do any of us embark on a journey which heavily alters the way we ponder about the value of leading a healthy, normal life. My mother and I took a trip to Pakistan in 2006, to bid farewell to a young aunt of mine. I roughly recall a day we spent in Dubai, U.A.E, on our way. We were provided for by family friends, who were truly supportive of my mother for being strong enough to travel across the world in the state of mind she inhabited. She hardly touched the food placed in front of her on the extensive flights. There were only three things my mother did on this trip: pray, pray and pray. That very evening, she had been glued to her prayer mat, a shawl tightly wrapped around her head as she feverishly rocked back and forth, muttering prayers with her eyelids closed. I was too young to discover the spiritual power of prayer; instead I stood by the window with the embroidered curtains pulled away. The image in front of me stood out like a ravishing artwork. I witnessed the sun slowly sinking beneath the emblazoned orange sphere above me. The light of it filtered through the tall, majestic palm trees—which were as regular in this city as lights in Las Vegas, Nevada. I caught the distant call to prayer, the muezzin’s words echoing throughout the voluminous sky. I was fascinated by this—by the magnificence of an omnipresent almighty, by the normalcy of traveling across seven seas and encountering a land of beings who worshipped as faithfully. The first thing that welcomed me to Karachi, Pakistan was the unavoidable blast of sweltering heat. The second, however, were the towering golden arches of the freshly constructed McDonalds across from Quaid-E-Azam international airport. The importance of McDonalds in Karachi was extremely amusing. The folks here dramatically groomed themselves to perfection to ‘dine’. The women dressed in which would only be considered as party wear, and the men wore their thick, native black hair combed and gelled specifically to one favored side. Back home in Chicago, McDonald’s signified nothing more than a swift, hasty meal through the driveway after an exhausting day. Finally, I stood before my aunt—but if it could have been delayed further, I wouldn’t have minded at all. The portrayal of her health brought nothing but pain and sympathy. The laughter had gone from her eyes, the once two gleaming marbles elaborately lined. Only a few strands remained of her once abundantly thick, curly mane of hair. It seemed as if something had sucked the air out of her cheeks, no longer fatty apples resting under her eyes. Her lips were pale, and the bones were finely defined against her skin. A pool of questions swam through my mind, what would she give to stand in my place instead? Or rather, how grateful should the people standing around her be? Throughout our lives, why do we take the ability to rise like the sun and start our everyday lives for granted? She passed away the following week, but left all of us with a valuable lesson. “When life is too easy for us, we must beware or we may not be ready to meet the blows which sooner or later come to everyone, rich or poor.”-Eleanor Roosevelt more

Resolved Question: Delta Airlines broke FHA rule?

What recourse legally do I have if Delta Airlines broke an FHA rule? Please read below. If you think that I should receive a full refund then please send Alex P. Roger at Delta.OnlineSupport@delta.com a message. Please copy paste this letter into your message. Thank you very much if you do send a email to Delta. I am hoping enough people will help me and in return help yourself if you ever have an issue with the airlines in regards to an obese person taking up your seat. I have nothing against obese people. I was kind to this gentleman, but I did not have a seat. And if the policy is that Delta makes obese people purchase an extra seat then they should make them purchase it. They did not catch this so now they should refund my flight cost. I understand there are obese people in this world. But Delta should have provided me and my girlfriend with a seat, arm rest down and a seat belt. None of these things were given to me after I paid for a ticket from Las Vegas to Philadelphia. HERE IS THE LETTER I WROTE TO DELTA – THREE TIMES _ I RECEIVED A RESPONSE THREE WEEKS AFTER MY LETTER- Dear Delta, On June 12th - flight 1236 - from Vegas to Philadelphia, I had a very horrific experience. I did not have a seat for over 4 hours. I did not have a seat belt on either. An obese gentleman sat next to me. He kept pushing his arm into me even though he already had half my seat. He pushed up the arm rest - against FEDERAL AVIATION REGULATIONS- and sat in over 70% of my seat. I had to move my girlfriends arm rest up, take off my seat belt and we both shared one seat. Neither one of us had a seat belt on the whole flight. It was uncomfortable and hurt both of our backs. We had back and knee pain for about a week due to this flight. The Federal Aviation Administration does require passengers be able to sit belted and with both arm rests down to comply with safety standards. Delta airline did not comply with safety standards. I told two different stewardess that we could not wear our seat belts and that the arm rest were up. They were pleasant and told me that they could not do anything about it. One of them gave me a twix for my troubles. I would like a full refund for both our seats-and voucher for both of us for a future flight. There were no other seats open so we were jammed together in one seat. And the back pain was very uncomfortable a week later. I am 6ft tall and had to put my legs on an angle to fit properly. Do you have a policy for obese people? The stewardess were very nice but told me that they could not do anything. They told me to write to Delta and that you would compensate me. LETTER I RECEIVED BACK FROM DELTA - Dear Mr. ####, Thank you for contacting us. On behalf of everyone at Delta Air Lines, I sincerely apologize for the challenges you and your companion encountered with your seat assignment on your recent travel. I can only imagine how discouraging it must have been when after requesting a better seat you had to experience such a disappointing situation. I am truly sorry your seat assignment adjacent to a large passenger affected your comfort. We do care about the well being and safety of all our passengers and strive to provide them an enjoyable and comfortable cabin environment. Please allow me to explain that we rely on our team members at the gate to identify passengers who may require additional space. Our policy states that any passenger who requires more than one seat for personal comfort must purchase an extra adjacent seat. Part of our problem is that most passengers now obtain their seating either online or at a self-service kiosk, and our agents do not have an opportunity to meet our passengers until they board the aircraft. (THIS IS A LIE>>> NO ONE ENTERS A PLANE WITHOUT HAVING TO HAVE YOUR BOARDING PASS SCANNED !) However, in the event we notice a large passenger boarding we should attempt to reseat that passenger or request that they purchase an extra adjacent seat. Again, I apologize this passenger was not identified and respectfully decline your request for refunding ticket and compensation. Sincerely, Alex P. Roger Delta.OnlineSupport@delta.com Coordinator Customer Care AGAIN I WROTE ALEX ASKING FOR A FULL REFUND – Dear Mr. ###, Thank you for writing and allowing me the opportunity to further review your concerns. On behalf of everyone at Delta Air Lines, I am sorry you were dissatisfied with my first response. I understand you feel I did not adequately address your concerns. I was happy to review your comments again to see if there was something I missed. Respectfully, there is nothing more I can add. I am sorry to disappoint you, as I understand this is not the answer you were expecting. Mr. ####, again, I apologize. Your support is important to us, and I thank you for your additional time and effort. We look forw more

Resolved Question: Irony: Cost of Obama's date in NYC vs. corporate execs jetting to Las Vegas?

Even though he paid for the tickets to the concert and for dinner himself, it is ironic that the same President who chastised the corporate world for taking expensive jet rides to Las Vegas, took a $24,000+ (likely more) trip on Air Force One at taxpayers expense for an evening in NYC. While the President must travel with all these precautions, was it a necessary taxpayer expense in light of these tough economic times? What message does it send to those struggling to make ends meet during this recession? - - - Details: Washington Times: "In February, Obama scolded corporate executives (while also costing Las Vegas some $130 million) when he said: "You can't get corporate jets. You can't go take a trip to Las Vegas, or go down to the Super Bowl on the taxpayers' dime." ... [Cost analysis of Obama's weekend getaway - Washington Times] "First, the First Couple (and entourage) flew from the White House to Andrews Air Force Base — three choppers (two decoys), if the Marines stuck to standard operating procedure (and they are sticklers for SOP). That means dozens of men and women — radar, communications, mechanics, crews, everyone, perhaps 100... were involved."... Second, the president moving on a Saturday takes a full operation at and around the White House, dozens and dozens of people. Maybe they're all on salary, so that didn't likely cost much. But all the cops involved — D.C. police, uniformed Secret Service officers, Capitol police — were probably paid overtime, even double time. Probably, again, 100 personnel or so. Then there were the jets — at least $24,000 for the three aircraft used to ferry the Obamas, aides and reporters to New York. The Obamas' jet, a Gulfstream 500, served as Air Force One. "...

Resolved Question: Burn in hell suge, see what he's been up to?

There is plenty of evidence to put this man away, First Pac Now Melissa Isaac plus many others Marion Knight was born in Compton, California. His name, Suge (pronounced /ʃʊɡ/), derives from "Sugar Bear", a childhood nickname.[1] He remained an excellent student and athlete, so much so that he won a football scholarship to University of Nevada, Las Vegas where he played collegiate football for several years.[2] After school, he played professionally for the Los Angeles Rams as a replacement player during the 1987 NFL strike.[3] Later, he found work as a concert promoter and a bodyguard for celebrities including Bobby Brown. Knight's legal problems began in 1987 when he faced auto theft, concealed weapon and attempted murder charges, ultimately receiving probation. Two years later, he formed his own music-publishing company, and allegedly made his first big fortune in the business by coercing Vanilla Ice into signing over royalties from his smash hit "Ice Ice Baby" owing to material that he supposedly sampled from one of Knight's company associates. (The possibly apocryphal story holds that Knight held Ice by his ankles off of a 20th-floor balcony, though in Ice's version, the threat was more implied.) Knight next formed an artist management company and signed prominent West Coast hip hop artists The D.O.C. and DJ Quik. Through the former, he met several members of the seminal gangsta rap group N.W.A. In 1993, Suge would have a son, Andrew, born on April 19, sharing the same birthday as him. Andrew is currently living in Greater Los Angeles area with his mother, "Tia". Another son, Taj, is said to be living in Atlanta with his mother, Davina Barnes. Most recently, a daughter, Bailei, with R&B singer Michel'le.[4] Death Row Records The logo for Death Row Records is a blindfolded man strapped into an electric chair Dr. Dre of N.W.A wished to depart from both his group and their label, Ruthless Records, run by Eazy-E, another member of N.W.A. According to N.W.A's manager Jerry Heller, Knight and his henchmen threatened Heller and Eazy-E with pipes and baseball bats in order to secure Dre's release[5]. Ultimately, Dre co-founded Death Row Records in 1991 with Knight, who famously vowed to make it "the Motown of the '90s." For a time, Knight made good on his ambitions: He secured a distribution deal with Interscope, and Dre's 1992 solo debut, The Chronic, became one of the most influential rap albums of all time[6]. It also made a star of Dre's protégé, Snoop Doggy Dogg, whose debut album, Doggystyle, was another smash hit in 1993[7]. As Dre's signature G-funk production style became an influential part of hip-hop, Death Row became a reliable brand name for gangsta rap fans, and even its lesser releases sold consistently well. Meanwhile, Death Row had begun a public feud with 2 Live Crew's Luther Campbell, and when Knight traveled to Miami for a hip-hop convention in 1993, he was apparently seen openly carrying a gun. The following year, he opened a private, by-appointment-only nightclub in Las Vegas called Club 662, so named because the numbers spelled out MOB, Knight's gang affiliation, on telephone keypads. In 1995, he ran afoul of activist C. Delores Tucker, whose criticism of Death Row's glamorization of the "gangsta" lifestyle may have helped scuttle a lucrative deal with Time Warner. The addition of Tupac Additionally, Knight's feud with East Coast impresario Sean Combs (aka P Diddy) took a nasty turn when Knight insulted the Bad Boy label honcho on air at the Source Awards in August 1995. Openly critical of Puffy's tendency of ad-libbing on his artists' songs and dancing in their videos, Knight announced to the audience of recording artists and industry figures, "Anyone out there who wanna be a recording artist and wanna stay a star, but don't have to worry about the executive producer trying to be all in the videos, all on the records, dancing, come to Death Row." The same year, Knight offered to post a hefty bail for Tupac Amaru Shakur if the troubled rapper agreed to sign with Death Row. Shakur agreed, setting the stage for his 1996 blockbuster double album All Eyez on Me and the smash hits "California Love" and "How Do U Want It." Shakur helped Death Row stay on top of a marketplace that was already shifting back toward the East Coast, which had devised its own distinct brand of hardcore rap. The loss of Dr. Dre and Tupac However, the label suffered a major blow when Dr. Dre, frustrated with the company's increasingly thuggish reputation and Knight's violent inclinations, decided to leave and form his own label. A stream of Dre-dissing records followed, but things turned tragic in September 1996, when Shakur was murdered in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas. When Shakur's East Coast rival, The Notorious B.I.G., was murdered in a similar fashion in March 1997, speculation immediately arose that Knight was involved and that B.I.G.'s death was a revenge killing; although former Dea more

Resolved Question: How come Obama is flying all over the country and giving lavish Super Bowl parties when the country is broke?

http://sg.news.yahoo.com/ap/20090211/twl-obama-las-vegas-mayor-1be00ca.html Obama made the remarks Monday during a town hall meeting in Elkhart, Ind., where the president traveled to muster public support for economic stimulus legislation. "You can't get corporate jets, you can't go take a trip to Las Vegas or go down to the Super Bowl on the taxpayer's dime," Obama said. OBAMA had a Super Bowl party on our dime and flies ALL OVER to these crazy "Town Hall" meetings on us. And don't even get me STARTED on Global Warming and his watse of fuel on Air Force One. more

Resolved Question: 90s cartoon with acronym title?

I'm looking for a cartoon that aired circa the mid 90s. Only caught one episode of it and was never able to find it again. Title was an acronym I think. Had a handful of main characters and in the episode they traveled to Las Vegas (with one character, a surfer type guy with long blond hair, commenting Las Vegas was the only place you had to wear sunglasses at night) and in the episode they came across an alien woman who needed their help. I remember her and the main hero having feelings for each other but in the end she ended up dying, during a car chase I think. I remember being surprised at a cartoon showing death so plainly. My apologies for not remembering any more details about the cartoon. Thanks for your help.No, wasn't the MIB cartoon, I remember watching that. This cartoon had 4 or 5 ' good guy' characters, each fitting an archetype I would guess. Clean cut hero, surfer, maybe a bruiser sort. That applies to 90% of the good guys vs. bad guys cartoons out there I admit. I suspect this was a show that lasted only a few episodes because I never saw a commercial for it before or after I caught that episode and I don't remember seeing any toys sold in stores in connection with the show.No, wasn't A.T.O.M., I caught this episode mid-90s. Pre-1997 at the very least since I don't remember having internet access at the time I caught the episode and I first got internet access in '97.Bureau of Alien Detectors definitely seems like it's the show I remember. Fits with everything I remember. Thanks! more
