This Is It – The Man Behind The Genius!

I was going to write a review of the movie but I can’t. It is absolutely impossible to put into words on how this movie made me feel. For those that have seen the movie know what I am talking about. For those who have yet to see it, you will know how I feel and for those that have no intentions of seeing it, YOU ARE MISSING OUT!

You do not have to be a Michael Jackson fan to want to see the movie because there are those that don’t/didn’t care for Michael the person, but love/loved Michael the entertainer. I loved Michael the man and then Michael the entertainer. But more than getting an insight into the rehearsals that went on before his concerts, this movie will have you remembering all the great songs he produced and the fascinating moves that made Michael Michael. After this movie, I became a fan of Michael the entertainer. I never paid much to his songs, save for a few on Blood On The Dance Floor. Outside of the mentioned album, I really, really love the song Will You Be There.

I do have to add this because I think about the day Michael died and how some people on Facebook were saying they were glad the molester is dead and other horrible things. When Michael was first accused of molestation back in the mid-90’s I never believed it. Some wonder that if he’s innocent why not go to court instead of doing an out-of-court settlement. If anyone knows the justice system, it can be geared towards the criminals. The victims are dragged through the mud and made to seem to be the criminal instead. Michael Jackson being who is he, the trial would have been a circus and he would have been dragged through the mud like nobody’s business. I believe they would have brought up things that have nothing to do with the fabricated charges just because. Then in early 2000, he again accused of molestation and again, I didn’t believe it.

I believe like all of us, Michael had his quirkiness, but all in all he was a good guy and loved people. He seemed to have a big heart and there were those that took advantage of it and it was a sad thing for Michael, but he continued to be who he was, a kind, loving person who enjoyed giving what he could to others.

My last thought. This movie showed that Michael put on shows for the fans and not for the money. He made sure fans felt the music, felt the spirit and felt the love he was giving them.

I really don’t think Michael realized what a genius he was!

POKER STARS – YOU’RE TAKING A GAMBLE WITH YOUR CHECKING ACCOUNT

As a graduation gift to myself I decided to do some online gambling with real money. I started with Full Tilt and then went to Poker Stars. I had been with both sites since June 2009. I never had a problem with Full Tilt and didn’t have a problem with Poker Stars until last month.

Both sites use off shore companies to handle the transactions. With Full Tilt I did the transaction one way but with Poker Stars I did it via e-check because that’s the only way they allow you to cash out. Of the few transactions I’ve done with them, everything was fine. Last month on 7/10 I deposited $25.00. It takes PS up to 10 days to withdraw the money from the checking account. The transaction took place around the 19th of July. I saw it on my statement, but now I can’t find it.

On 8/4/2009 I get charged a NSF because of $25.00 trying to be withdrawn from my account. On 8/11/2009 they tried again to take the money. Another NSF charged to me. I contact Poker Stars to get a copy of all my transactions and they oblige. But I have to digress for a bit.

When I contact PS about anything I would get a response the same day. When I contacted them about the transaction problem I was having it would take them a day or two to get back to me and it usually was a run around answer. One email had them requesting my bank statement. I wrote them back and stated I did not feel comfortable sending them anything regarding my bank statement.

I decided to call the company that actually does the transactions. This company goes by two names Green2yourgreen and GI Holdings. They claimed they didn’t have a records of a transaction. The lady gave me an email address to write someone in their billing department. I wrote them about three days ago and no one has responded. Figures.

I have contacted Poker Stars and told them to remove my e-check information IMMEDIATELY. I didn’t hear from them by the next day. I wrote them again two days later and requested again that they remove my e-check information. They said they removed it. But today, I learned that they tried to take $25.00 from my account again. Another $35.00 NSF I have to pay. I have contacted PS and they claimed they have not received notice of a withdraw coming back to them but that doesn’t mean it has cleared my bank yet. WHAT? I know it cleared my bank around 19th July.

I did have to take drastic measures to make sure Poker Stars does not try to take the $25.00 from my account. And I will never EVER EVER do business with them again.

I looked at a poker forum I belong to and saw other users having the same issue with them, meaning, Poker Stars trying to take money from player’s checking account over and over again after the transaction has cleared but then all of the sudden disappears.

My warning here is, never do an e-check transaction with anyone and highly recommend you take great heed to doing business with Poker Stars. Full Tilt has not been a problem for me at all. Knock on wood!

Anne Pressly Murder Suspect Arrested —- Revised

Police nab suspect in anchor’s death, seek answers

By TOM PARSONS – 1 hour ago

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Police for weeks had neither a suspect nor a motive in the beating death of a popular television anchorwoman. A suspect is now in custody, but many questions remain unanswered.

Officers arrested Curtis Lavelle Vance, 28, at a home in Little Rock on Wednesday night — tipped to his location after police held a late-evening news conference to reveal him as their suspect, said Lt. Terry Hastings, a police spokesman.

Vance was charged with capital murder in the death of Anne Pressly. The 26-year-old anchorwoman, who had a small part in the President George W. Bush biopic “W,” died Oct. 25 — five days after being severely beaten in what police described as a random attack at her home.

Investigators interviewed Vance late Wednesday and early Thursday morning, Hastings said.

Vance lived in Marianna, in eastern Arkansas, but had numerous contacts in central Arkansas, Police Chief Stuart Thomas said. He named Vance as the suspect earlier Wednesday night and said Vance was traveling with a woman, three kids, a pistol and “lots of extra ammunition.”

Within an hour of the news conference’s end, officers were at a home south of downtown. Vance apparently was not armed when arrested, Hastings said early Thursday.

Police did not disclose what led them to suspect Vance. Thomas said only that the capital murder charge was based on “a very, very solid case due to solid detective work.”

Hastings said previously that DNA and other evidence from the scene gave police a portrait of the person they were looking for, though they did not have a name until this month.

Hastings said Thursday that police would not disclose how they obtained DNA to match to a possible suspect, adding “We’re going to be very tightlipped on this case, pretrial.”

One of Pressly’s credit cards was used at a gas station after the beating, but Hastings said security camera footage didn’t provide a good look at the person using it.

Pressly lived alone in the city’s Pulaski Heights section, a mix of mansions and bungalows near a country club. Her mother, visiting from out of town at the time of the attack but not staying at her daughter’s home, found Pressly on Oct. 20, a half-hour before the anchorwoman was due on KATV’s “Daybreak” program. The mother checked on her daughter after she didn’t answer her daily wake-up call.

The anchorwoman had been beaten severely on the head and upper torso. She never regained consciousness.

Pressly was a native of Greenville, S.C., and moved with her family to Little Rock while she was in high school. She was a graduate of Rhodes College in Memphis, Tenn., which has discussed establishing a scholarship to honor her.

In the Oliver Stone movie “W” — the subject of a news story she covered as the film was being shot in Shreveport, La. — Pressly appeared briefly as a conservative commentator who speaks favorably of Bush’s “Mission Accomplished” event on an aircraft carrier after the start of the Iraq war.

Hastings said he did not know if Vance had an attorney. He said a public defender would likely be appointed to the case.

Vance was being held Thursday at the Pulaski County Jail, awaiting a Friday morning arraignment.(www.google.com)

Opinion:  Something tells me Vance didn’t do it.  Knowing Ark (look up the West Memphis Three www.wm3.org), they probably got alot of pressure to solve this case and so they did…I might be wrong, but my  gut feeling tells me he didn’t do it.  I will recant when I am proven wrong….Nikki Carlyle

Update 6:06pm PST 1 Dec 2008 – Ok, as mentioned when I am proven wrong about the bastard they arrested I would be back and here I am.  This F*CKER did it and I hope he gets in prision what he did to Anne and the school teacher he raped in April of last year.  What took the police so long to nab his sorry behind when he raped the teacher?  I wish they could send his a** to Corcoran or Riker’s Island.  I don’t know anything about Arkansas, but I hope they send him to a prison that does not play.
