mod·er·a·tion [mod-uh-rey-shuhn] –noun

1.  the quality of being moderate; restraint; avoidance of extremes or excesses; temperance.
2. in moderation, without excess; moderately; temperately: to drink in moderation.

This is the definition of moderation according to dictionary.com.

Here is my soap box rant for the day. I'm tired of people using the term "moderation" as an excuse to over eat.

Clearly these folks have not looked at the food pyramid lately.

 The U.S. Department of Agriculture's newest food pyramid guide, called MyPyramid, encourages consumers to make healthier food choices and to get regular exercise. Unlike the older model, food groups are arranged in vertically bands, instead of horizontal ones. Band width indicates portion size. The wider the band, the more food from that group you should eat.

Take a look at the various color bands - not one there that represents junk food and fat filled food, yet I see people gorging on unhealthy food options touting "everything in moderation".

I think the media has give people an excuse by putting this phrase "everything in moderation" out there. Our society does not need more excuses to over eat or make bad food choices.

Here are 5 sad statistcs on why that phrase should be banned:

1. According to data published by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) in 2006, obesity rates for preschool children and adolescents have more than tripled in the past 30 years.  One-third of US children are now obese or at risk of being obese.

2. Some nine million children ages six to19 in the US are now classified as overweight or obese. The overall prevalence of obesity in children was 17 percent in 2006.

3. Estimates show that one in three children born in the year 2000 will develop diabetes at some point in their life, according to the ADA.  This statistic is nearly one in two for Hispanic, Native American or African American children.

4. According to a SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth Population Study, sponsored by the CDC and NIH, 6 percent of non-Hispanic white 10-19 year-olds currently suffer from type 2 diabetes, which is the type linked to obesity, and which is when the body does not create enough insulin and when cells are resistant to insulin.

5.This figure jumps to 22 percent for Hispanics, 33 percent for African Americans, 40 percent for Asians/Pacific Islanders, and 76 percent for Native Americans.

According to the dietary guidelines, a health diet is one that

• Emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fat-free or low-fat milk and milk products;
• Includes lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs, and nuts; and
• Is low in saturated fats, trans fats, cholesterol, salt (sodium), and added sugars.

Everything in moderation - EVEN MODERATION!

is your attitude about

the problem with you

I wrote earlier about trying to find a way to reduce the amount of spam that came through my MobileMe pushed account.  MobileMe is lacking in server-side spam filtering, so I was constantly getting c1al1s ads that would not only imply an inability to acheive erection, but also annoy me with vibrating ass syndrome.  These ads were, of course, filtered on my desktop, but only after I'd gotten them on my iPhone.

The solution I came up with was a little complex to set up, but now operates smoothly, catches 99% of my spam before it hits my iPhone, and has the lovely added benefit of archiving all my mail in a separate, Google-searchable account.  Simply put, I used Gmail for my own nefarious purposes.

So I'm laying out the steps required to achieve this effect.  For the sake of this tutorial, let's assume your name is Oliver Clozof, and your current email is oliver@clozof.com.

1. Set up your MobileMe account (for illustration purposes, we'll call this oclozof@me.com).
2. Set up a free Gmail account (for illustration purposes, we'll call this oliver.clozof@gmail.com).
3. In whatever control panel your current (oliver@clozof.com) email uses, redirect all mail to oliver.clozof@gmail.com.  There's no need to keep a copy in the inbox unless you have some reason to.
4. Go to your Gmail settings, and redirect all mail to oclozof@me.com.  Archive Gmail's copy.
5. Under the Accounts tab in your Gmail settings, set up the ability to send mail as oliver@clozof.com.  This will send a verification link to that address, which will end up in your oclozof@me.com account.  Check that account at http://www.me.com/mail, and follow the verification instructions.  Once that account is verified through Gmail, go back to Gmail's Settings page, open the Accounts tab, and make that the default account.
6. Go to your iPhone's mail settings and set up your MobileMe account (oclozof@me.com).  Enable Mail and whatever other syncing you want done (contacts, etc - we're assuming here that you've properly set this up on your computer).
7. Under the MobileMe account in settings, open the SMTP preferences.  Disable me.com SMTP; we won't be using that.  Add an SMTP server using your new Gmail account (oliver.clozof@gmail.com).  Use smtp.gmail.com and enter your login details there.  Enable this server.  This should be the only SMTP server enabled for this account.
8. Send yourself a test email and giggle when it comes through, pushed almost instantaneously to your iPhone.  You're done.

Here's what happens with this set up.  When somebody sends an email to oliver@clozof.com, it will redirect to Gmail.  Gmail will filter out spam, archive a copy (which is handy if you ever need to search for an email you deleted), and forward the mail to oclozof@me.com, which will then push to your phone.  When you compose mail or reply, it will use your Gmail account to send it.  Your Gmail account is set up to use oliver@clozof.com, so all mail sent from your iPhone will show up as coming from oliver@clozof.com.

The upshot is that mail will be sent to oliver@clozof.com, will come from oliver@clozof.com, and you'll get to use both Gmail's huge account quota (to archive) and MobileMe's push features.

You can then set up these accounts in a similar fashion in your desktop mail client (Mail.app, Thunderbird, Outlook, etc).

Note:  If your current email is already a .mac email address (as mine was), you'll have to upgrade to a Family account, create a new me.com account to serve as your new main MobileMe account, and simply use the old one to forward mail.  You can't, apparently, put two MobileMe accounts on your phone, or MobileMe's ninja server monkeys get confused and won't properly push mail.  Hopefully they'll fix this.

Are there drawbacks?  Two.  Emails don't push quite as fast with all this forwarding.  The email may take a full 10 seconds to push.  I'm okay with that.  Also, if you compose mail from your me.com web interface, it will show up as coming from your me.com account; MobileMe doesn't have send aliases like Google does.  All in all, though, I'd say those are some pretty acceptible casualties for spam-free push email to phone and desktop.

Further note:  This is just for consumer mail.  If your business uses an Exchange server, just set it up that way.

But some people don't cope with their break-up blues.  Instead, people are trying desperately to forget the pain by drowning their sorrows in bottomless alcohol or possibly acting on the saying, "The best way to get over someone is to get under someone else".  Others affix an overly bright smile on their face and try to get through by faking it.

I don't consider any of those methods particularly healthy.  After a relationship ends, you should set aside an adequate amount of time to repair emotionally and grieve your broken heart.  Give yourself time to absorb, adjust, and adapt.

• ABSORB.  Absorbing the pain allows you to sort out your emotions.  It's a time for you to come to terms with the break-up, obtain closure, and accept the fact that you're single (again).  You might use this time to question why it didn't work out and pinpoint the trouble spots -- and believe me, there were problems.  It might have escaped your notice initially, but when you examine the relationship closely, you'll likely find the overlooked areas that were less-than-perfect.

• ADJUST.  Now that you're single again, you'll need to adjust to not having that person around.  You won't be going over to his house every Friday night to snuggle up on the couch and watch a DVD like you used to, you won't be going on that week-long romantic trip to Napa Valley like you had been trying to plan for months now (and damn him, is this why he never seemed interested in those brochures you artfully arranged on the table?).  You'll likely surround yourself with friends, and you'll need to reacquaint yourself with the social dynamic that existed while you were off in Relationship-land.

• ADAPT.  Resilience comes in handy in times like this, when you'll need to bounce back from the break-up and get back to your previously single-and-happy independent self.  This is after the searing pain that used to rent your heart in two has subsided into a scar.  That doesn't mean you won't miss him or that you won't feel a tug of loss when you cross paths; it just means that at this point, you're able to wish him the best of luck (provided the break-up was amiable) and you're able to walk away.  Only you know when you're "over him", but adaptation to the world of Singledom signals your readiness to move forward with your life, allowing you to book that date Saturday night with the hottie you met at Starbucks last week!

Coping with the break-up blues is about making sure you're ready to take on the next possible relationship with a whole heart.  After all, if the Next Guy is Mr. Right, doesn't he deserve it?

This is absolutely not going to be a flame war between Mac and PC. In my opinion, it is a matter of personal preference about which one to buy. The one key consideration you should take into mind is whether your law school allows Macs to be used for finals. Some don't and it might be a pain for you to scramble and find a PC. Especially if you are unfamiliar with PCs. That being said, I've seen plenty of people use Macs through the semester and borrow PC laptops for finals.

I always see lots of neat Mac applications on Mac.ars so I think there must be some software that is useful to a law student. The sad thing about PCs is that the user interface rules are constantly broken or ignored (and that includes Microsoft) so one must constantly deal with quirks. My experience with Macs (ten years ago) was much better. However, I hear that even Apple is violating their UI guidelines.

Large laptop v small laptop

This basically means large screen vs small screen. The benefit to a large screen comes when you are working on outlines or with class notes. It is very, very useful to have two documents side by side on the screen. The drawback is that you have to lug around a heavy, heavy laptop all semester.

A small screen means a smaller lighter laptop. Very useful for carrying around and using. However, you can't easily have two documents visible on the screen at the same time.

If you can afford a large desktop monitor to keep at home and plug your small laptop into, then you can get the best of both worlds. 20'' monitors are cheap these days, so this might be a good choice.

I choose a large PC laptop. My laptop spends most of its time in my car so I need not worry too much about lugging a heavy laptop around. (It is so heavy that it ripped my first backpack.) I also was buying at the time of Apple's transition from PPC to Intel and did not want to buy a PPC laptop that was due to be obsolete.

If I had to do it over again, I'd buy the small laptop and a large desktop monitor.

So your question probably is, "If I am trying to get my ex back, why do we need time apart?"

The answer is- would you feel attracted to someone that is depressed, miserable, angry, and just being a downright nasty person? I didn't think so.

When you go through a break up, one or both of you are going to be bitter for at least a little while. There needs to be a cooling off period.

During this time, take advantage of it, go out with your friends. Get back in touch with your family. Do things you haven't done in ages!

The only way you will get your ex back, is if you are happy with yourself, and who you are. You won't be able to do this, unless you re-connect with yourself.

This is part of the process of how to get your ex back, believe it or not! If you don't do this, you will end up moping around feeling sorry for yourself. Do you really want to do that?

Get out, go to the gym, start eating better! I know, now I am starting to sound like a weightloss commercial! All of this is good advice, believe me. The better you feel, the better your chances are at getting your ex back.

If you take the other path, and think that you need to show your ex how you feel right away, or else you will lose them forever, you will be sadly mistaken.

If you feel the urge to start leaving voice mails, emails, and text messages for your ex, STOP! What will end up happening is you will drive them further away, and make them angrier.

Also when the break up is fresh, you are more likely to say something you don't mean, restart old arguments, try to make your ex jealous, and use unkind words.

See where I am going with this? You need to take a break, get your head on straight, before you will be able to get back your ex. There is more to it than just this step listed here in the article. If you take any one of the steps out of context, it will end up backfiring on you.

If you pay for pest control or were ever skeptical about those guys, what you are reading right now could save you a lot of money.

how?

It’s very simple…due to the recent “greening up” process going on…most pest control companies are having to switch to safer and more environmentally friendly products. Of course this means the chemical manufacturing companies have to supply this demand. Which they do, directly to the pest control companies through their normal product buying sources to which they are accustom to.

But, little do these pest control companies know, the less toxic products are safe enough to go on normal retail shelves for normal consumers. Do you see where I am going with this?

That means you can buy the same eco-friendly products from online sites such as Amazon.com and be better off. Here is a clear example of what I mean:

In Pest Control Technology Magazine, they covered a story about a new pest control company being launched that uses all eco-friendly products only. The line of products this company uses is called EcoSMART. The same EcoSmart line available on Amazon.com for under $20 and that’s for the entire can or bottle. You don’t need more than five minutes of training to use these products which I will explain in a second. Right now, you should know that almost every pest control company now use this brand or atleast have it stocked in their chemical rooms now. So why would someone pay $90 for a service?….

The customer doesn’t know!

That shouldn’t happen to you now or anyone you know…here are a few nuggets to take home with you:

* Any roach problem can be solved with Vecor Pharmone traps this has been tested. These little sticky traps which attract male roaches are proven to work just as good as any spray.

* All pest products come with easy to read instruction on them.  A five year old can do it, this has also been tested. So your “pro” exterminator needs no training to do pest control. ( If you don’t believe me apply for a job and see what the requirments are.) The license some carry is one that allows them to spray very harmful chemical…BUT that’s not acceptable nowadays so those chemical licenses aren’t needed!

* All pest arrive for a reason, if you are really savvy and you can google organic pest control and BAM! A wealth of resources of all alternative DIY ( do it yourself) methods. These methods work just as good as any pest control chemical. The advantage the chemicals have, is that they last much longer than the natural process.

* If you are or know of anyone working as a maintenance technician, construction worker, restaurant worker or any related business. You can increase your, and/or their value by a lot with these new skill you can develop TODAY.

Ok, you should now be armed with enough information to get started. It takes less than 10 minutes to treat your home or apartment for a fraction of what a company would charge you.

NOTE: All of this information is very general and is meant to be a wake up call for opportunity. If you would like more detailed information on specifics, just let me know and I can provide you with tons of advice and links to products and other articles that will make you 10x more knowledgeable than any exterminator that comes to your house will be or at worst on the same level.

Hope I helped,

This sort of advice obviously put the fear of God in lenders for a few weeks afterwards, suddenly fearing the "Cramer effect" would cause a spat of delinquencies as people dumped their homes due to falling values and loans they would never get the benefit of.

Whether to go delinquent or not is really a very personal choice and not just a simple fiscal equation. First, you're going to destroy your financial name for the next 7 years. That may seem like a short time, but it can be a very long period to have to explain to your kids why you're living in an apartment versus their friends' parents in a regular neighborhood. The impact is complete and total to the entire family, not just your checkbook. But frankly the comfort of your kids is not reason to go into bankruptcy either.

I think the first step is really to determine if you really need to consider delinquency in the first place. That means a long, hard look at your home budget and really determining what you can do without. Sometimes we get so personalized over our expenses that it really helps to get a third party to look at it and say, no that's emotional. You can live without that expense.

Just because your house value dropped is a silly reason to go delinquent. This year like so many others mine dropped below what I could get to break even but that doesn't mean I'm suddenly going to dump my family on the street because now I can't sell my house for a profit. That's completely irrational and purely an emotional response, as Mr. Spock from Star Trek would say (which is a long-winded way of saying "stop being stupid.")

Assuming you've done the above, and you find that you're still coming up short to make the mortgage, then it's time to make choices. Do you really need two cars? Can you function with one and public transit? Forget comfort, the question is, is it possible and feasible? If the answer is yes, then you have to get rid of the 2nd car. Can you reduce your consumption? All the time we say "oh no, never" but the reality is we can. We can go without an AC in the summer (except for elderly or small kids), we can live on rice and beans instead of steak and filet mignon, we can eat from a recooked can of chili and brown bag lunch instead of going to a restaurant at every lunch, we can ride a bus instead of using the remaining car and save a weeks' worth of gas bills. Those examples alone are hundreds of dollars every month.

I won't ever say tightening the belt is comfortable or fun. It stinks. I remember as a kid going months where my family ate rice and beans every day, or spaghetti, because that was what we had and it was cheap. But I was fed, clothed, and had a roof over my head. It was possible to get through the month with less.

To really get to the point of foreclosure, I have to disagree with Cramer and other creative types. Delinquency should be a last option. I'm not saying that for the banks (even though they would agree for their own reasons), but to give up your house as a family is creating so many more risks to you and your children that it really is a nuclear red button. And it really should only be pressed if you're absolutely convinced every other option has been tried and doesn't work.

From 1995 Archives

    I am a very fortunate person.  I have many wonderful people in my life.   The youngest one is a little girl that I share a very special bond with; my three year-old niece.  Even at this tender age, she’s her own person.  As a matter of fact, I think she’s been her own person since the night she was born.  She’s smart, funny, sensitive and has more stamina than the Energizer Bunny.          

            On a recent afternoon while she was visiting she asked me about someone who had died.  After gently but truthfully answering her questions as to how and why this person had died, I began thinking about other questions she’ll have as she grows.   What follows are some of the thoughts I’ve had about what I want her to know.

• If you believe in yourself other people will believe in you too.
• Realize that being healthy, smart, attractive and from a good family that loves you, entitles you to nothing; but obligates you to those less fortunate.
• You deserve to be treated the same way that you treat others.
• Men have feelings too, and men of quality aren’t threatened by women’s equality.
• Don’t try to rationalize with irrational people--they’ll only make you crazy too.
• Don’t sweat the small stuff--the big stuff alone is enough dehydrate you.
• Celebrate the differences between people--those differences are what make each of us special and unique.
• Nobody ever sat on their death bed saying, “I wish I spent more time at the office.”
• Always remember that you have the right to say “no”.
• Yes, it’s your body; but you have a responsibility to keep it drug free and healthy.
• You can’t be true to anyone else unless you’re true to yourself.
•  Every child is born innocent with the God-given right to opportunity and happiness; do what you can in your lifetime to help the world’s children.
• Fight for what’s right, but pick those fights carefully.
• Have the courage to be who you are and respect other people’s rights to do the same.
• A collection of real friends is the greatest wealth you can acquire.
• Realize that if you can be bought, you aren’t worth what the other person paid.
• Never give up; quitters automatically lose.
• Appreciate your parents for who they are; forget who you wish them to be.
• Turn the other cheek when you can, and walk away when you can’t
• If it’s not worth working for, why would you want it?
• We taught your “please” and “thank you” for a reason.
• Try to see the glass as half full and if it turns out to be half empty, top it off.
• The only one who can limit your ambition is you.
• Take the time to learn about and appreciate the wonderful women in history and in your life who have come before you, then emulate them where you can for those who follow.
• Don’t ever lose sight of the fact that everything happens for a reason--although at the time it       may not seem that way.
• Never do anything that you can’t tell your best friend about or say out loud while looking in a mirror.
• Everyone gets what’s coming to them; it’s not your job to facilitate it.
• Just because everyone else is doing something, doesn’t mean that it is the right thing to do.
• You should be the only person who can effect your self-esteem.
• Be grateful for what you have and share what you can.
• Prudent risk-taking will bring you much; taking stupid risks will cost you everything.
• Laugh at what you can and cry at what you have to, it will get you over the rough spots.
• And most importantly; remember that I love you more every day I know you.

Copyright Ó 1995, 2008 by Cheryl Tully Stoll

My name is Sarah Lorraine Matlock. I am a resident of San Francisco and the granddaughter of Hope's former mayor, Dr. Samuel W. Strong Jr. who died on June 8, 1999. My grandmother is Dr. Strong's one and only wife, Edra Meeks Strong, who died on August 27, 1999.

It has recently come to my attention that the above deceased individuals appear to have been the victims of their own children in that Edra's Last Will and Testament is fraudulent, and Dr. Samuel Strong's will, which his son evidently convinced him to amend in 1999, has seemingly served the primary interests of his two immediate children, Carolyn Strong Woodson of Yountville, California and Samuel M. Strong of Little Rock, Arkansas. Both children are named executors of both of their parent's wills.

This discovery has been a process. I first began looking into the will of my grandfather because my mother stated, immediately following his death, that my grandfather had "left" forty thousand dollars total to split four ways. She said there was ten thousand for her and her brother each, and ten thousand for myself and my brother each.

Carolyn did not tell me both had left a will. She added, however, that she did not wish to give the money to me. She stated that instead, she wished to place the $10,000.00 under her name for investment purposes.

I inquired about receiving back my invested money several times over the past nine years, which she always refused to return. This reported behavior raised the suspicion of my new fiancé, James A.Sablan Sr. Finally; it prompted us to search out the matter.

As it turns out, my mother misrepresented the matter in that she and her brother were executors of two wills representing two sizable estates. Both wills were done under an attorney by the name of A. Wyckliff Nisbet Jr. Mr. Nisbet works for a large firm in Little Rock, Arkansas known as Friday, Eldredge and Clark. Carolyn Woodson, Samuel M. Strong, and her attorney, Nisbet, have attempted to rationalize her failure to distribute to me under such excuses as "You are not a descendant", or "The entire estate was for the executors only" (even though the "surviving descendants" are to "share and share alike"), etc.

The first will was completed in 1996 on behalf of my grandmother Edra Meeks Strong. Because I know for a fact that Edra had full blown dementia in 1996, her will is fraudulent and could only have been completed coercively. In fact, Edra did not even recognize her children at this stage of her illness. Furthermore, in 2001, the executors transferred Edra's eighty acres of Timberland in Arkadelphia (where she and her husband were both born) listed in her "dementia will" into the Samuel Meeks Strong Family Trust which was only part of Samuel W. Strong's will. As you know, this renders the trust invalid, which we have already confirmed with a former judge and friend of my fiancé.

In addition, Edra's will gives her entire estate over to her two children only, Samuel Meeks Strong and Carolyn Strong Woodson. Contrary to what she is reported to have stated in her will, Edra clearly told me more than one time before the onset of her dementia that she intended to leave me "a nest egg", although she did not specify the amount.

Furthermore, both wills contain waivers for the requirement to appear in court in person before the judge, as well as waivers for the final accounting of all assets. There is apparently cash, stocks and bonds that are not even mentioned specifically in the will, which has evaded the scrutiny of the State of Arkansas and the I.R.S. as well by the use of these waivers.

For this reason, I have already contacted the I.R.S. They have requested that I come in personally to speak to them about this matter in further detail. I will do this before the week is out.

The entire family, including not only both executors but other heirs- my brother, Alfred Richard Woodson of Chicago, Illinois and my cousin Sharon Strong Cowell of Maryland, have been entirely non-communicative about this matter. I have also tried to speak to my brother's ex-wife, Jennifer Rose Sandstrom of Mesa, Arizona, and my father, Alfred Richard IV of Yountville, California. They are generally either hostile or non-communicative altogether. The few things that my mother has said by e-mail are also lies that can be clearly deduced through the e-mails.

We have also researched the cause of death of both grandparents and find it interesting that both died within two months of each other due to a "myocardial infarction". In fact the, entire circumstance surrounding their deaths has raised extreme suspicion. To begin with, Samuel Strong specified in his will that he wished for his wife to be live in accordance with "the standard to which she is accustomed", which was to be at her home in Hope, Arkansas with her own private care, not amongst strangers in a controlled environment.

Instead of following his will, the two executors immediately "skated off" Edra into a nursing home, Pleasant Valley Living Center in Little Rock, Arkansas, following their father's death. Edra then "up and died" two months later of a heart failure. Interestingly enough, even she had lived quite successfully and uneventfully for twenty to thirty years prior with her heart condition.

Also, whereas Samuel Strong's death indicates heart failure, I was never aware of him suffering from cardiovascular disease, or of any prior hospitalizations. My grandfather was an extremely healthy and strong individual all his life. It is interesting to me that his cause of death lists "cardiovascular disease"- as if someone is trying to convince us that this was a chronic condition that he had, but does not list "cardiovascular disease" on Edra, who indeed did suffer with the condition for a long period of time. These records were obtained from the Herndon Funeral Home in Hope, Arkansas.

In looking at the entire circumstance, it appears quite strange that in one year, Dr. Samuel M. Strong managed to have the will amended, both parents died, and Edra died shortly after the needed signatures from her were obtained. Furthermore, we are told that her signature is on EVERY page in her fraudulent will, although we have not yet ordered the will. Again, it seems as if someone wants to "convince" everyone that she was competent at this time, which she clearly was not.

Also, Dr. Samuel Strong died first, which gave the executors the freedom to disobey the wishes of their father in regards to Edra's care. You will also note in the wills that Samuel Strong was not Edra's Power of Attorney in 1996, but became her Power of Attorney in 1999. This enabled him to sign waivers on her behalf for the final accounting of all assets in Samuel W. Strong's will, and also would have convinced "dad" that he was doing everything straightforwardly and representing Edra's best interest.

We have confronted the entire family with our suspicions, as well as the attorney, concerning Edra's will, and no one has rebutted anything that we have said in regards to her dementia at the time of her will in 1996. We also voiced concerns of possible foul play, and neither have they rebutted this.

Thank you for hearing this matter. I am respectfully requesting that this case be re-opened and prosecuted, so that all perpetrators, including any and all accessories and accomplices, will brought to justice, and so that the estates can revert back to the State of Arkansas and be redistributed in the proper fashion.

Sincerely,

The granddaughter of former Mayor Samuel W. Strong, Jr.

Sarah Lorraine Matlock

My name is Sarah Lorraine Matlock. I am a resident of San Francisco and the granddaughter of Hope's former mayor, Dr. Samuel W. Strong Jr. who died on June 8, 1999. My grandmother is Dr. Strong's one and only wife, Edra Meeks Strong, who died on August 27, 1999.

It has recently come to my attention that the above deceased individuals appear to have been the victims of their own children in that Edra's Last Will and Testament is fraudulent, and Dr. Samuel Strong's will, which his son evidently convinced him to amend in 1999, has seemingly served the primary interests of his two immediate children, Carolyn Strong Woodson of Yountville, California and Samuel M. Strong of Little Rock, Arkansas. Both children are named executors of both of their parent's wills.

This discovery has been a process. I first began looking into the will of my grandfather because my mother stated, immediately following his death, that my grandfather had "left" forty thousand dollars total to split four ways. She said there was ten thousand for her and her brother each, and ten thousand for myself and my brother each.

Carolyn did not tell me both had left a will. She added, however, that she did not wish to give the money to me. She stated that instead, she wished to place the $10,000.00 under her name for investment purposes.

I inquired about receiving back my invested money several times over the past nine years, which she always refused to return. This reported behavior raised the suspicion of my new fiancé, James A.Sablan Sr. Finally; it prompted us to search out the matter.

As it turns out, my mother misrepresented the matter in that she and her brother were executors of two wills representing two sizable estates. Both wills were done under an attorney by the name of A. Wyckliff Nisbet Jr. Mr. Nisbet works for a large firm in Little Rock, Arkansas known as Friday, Eldredge and Clark. Carolyn Woodson, Samuel M. Strong, and her attorney, Nisbet, have attempted to rationalize her failure to distribute to me under such excuses as "You are not a descendant", or "The entire estate was for the executors only" (even though the "surviving descendants" are to "share and share alike"), etc.

The first will was completed in 1996 on behalf of my grandmother Edra Meeks Strong. Because I know for a fact that Edra had full blown dementia in 1996, her will is fraudulent and could only have been completed coercively. In fact, Edra did not even recognize her children at this stage of her illness. Furthermore, in 2001, the executors transferred Edra's eighty acres of Timberland in Arkadelphia (where she and her husband were both born) listed in her "dementia will" into the Samuel Meeks Strong Family Trust which was only part of Samuel W. Strong's will. As you know, this renders the trust invalid, which we have already confirmed with a former judge and friend of my fiancé.

In addition, Edra's will gives her entire estate over to her two children only, Samuel Meeks Strong and Carolyn Strong Woodson. Contrary to what she is reported to have stated in her will, Edra clearly told me more than one time before the onset of her dementia that she intended to leave me "a nest egg", although she did not specify the amount.

Furthermore, both wills contain waivers for the requirement to appear in court in person before the judge, as well as waivers for the final accounting of all assets. There is apparently cash, stocks and bonds that are not even mentioned specifically in the will, which has evaded the scrutiny of the State of Arkansas and the I.R.S. as well by the use of these waivers.

For this reason, I have already contacted the I.R.S. They have requested that I come in personally to speak to them about this matter in further detail. I will do this before the week is out.

The entire family, including not only both executors but other heirs- my brother, Alfred Richard Woodson of Chicago, Illinois and my cousin Sharon Strong Cowell of Maryland, have been entirely non-communicative about this matter. I have also tried to speak to my brother's ex-wife, Jennifer Rose Sandstrom of Mesa, Arizona, and my father, Alfred Richard IV of Yountville, California. They are generally either hostile or non-communicative altogether. The few things that my mother has said by e-mail are also lies that can be clearly deduced through the e-mails.

We have also researched the cause of death of both grandparents and find it interesting that both died within two months of each other due to a "myocardial infarction". In fact the, entire circumstance surrounding their deaths has raised extreme suspicion. To begin with, Samuel Strong specified in his will that he wished for his wife to be live in accordance with "the standard to which she is accustomed", which was to be at her home in Hope, Arkansas with her own private care, not amongst strangers in a controlled environment.

Instead of following his will, the two executors immediately "skated off" Edra into a nursing home, Pleasant Valley Living Center in Little Rock, Arkansas, following their father's death. Edra then "up and died" two months later of a heart failure. Interestingly enough, even she had lived quite successfully and uneventfully for twenty to thirty years prior with her heart condition.

Also, whereas Samuel Strong's death indicates heart failure, I was never aware of him suffering from cardiovascular disease, or of any prior hospitalizations. My grandfather was an extremely healthy and strong individual all his life. It is interesting to me that his cause of death lists "cardiovascular disease"- as if someone is trying to convince us that this was a chronic condition that he had, but does not list "cardiovascular disease" on Edra, who indeed did suffer with the condition for a long period of time. These records were obtained from the Herndon Funeral Home in Hope, Arkansas.

In looking at the entire circumstance, it appears quite strange that in one year, Dr. Samuel M. Strong managed to have the will amended, both parents died, and Edra died shortly after the needed signatures from her were obtained. Furthermore, we are told that her signature is on EVERY page in her fraudulent will, although we have not yet ordered the will. Again, it seems as if someone wants to "convince" everyone that she was competent at this time, which she clearly was not.

Also, Dr. Samuel Strong died first, which gave the executors the freedom to disobey the wishes of their father in regards to Edra's care. You will also note in the wills that Samuel Strong was not Edra's Power of Attorney in 1996, but became her Power of Attorney in 1999. This enabled him to sign waivers on her behalf for the final accounting of all assets in Samuel W. Strong's will, and also would have convinced "dad" that he was doing everything straightforwardly and representing Edra's best interest.

We have confronted the entire family with our suspicions, as well as the attorney, concerning Edra's will, and no one has rebutted anything that we have said in regards to her dementia at the time of her will in 1996. We also voiced concerns of possible foul play, and neither have they rebutted this.

Thank you for hearing this matter. I am respectfully requesting that this case be re-opened and prosecuted, so that all perpetrators, including any and all accessories and accomplices, will brought to justice, and so that the estates can revert back to the State of Arkansas and be redistributed in the proper fashion.

I can't find anything online, so if there are any helpful trolls out there, have at it in the comments section.

So, once we land in Vienna ... without all of our bags.  We inquire about public transportation to our hotel ... 6 euros person to take a coach.  Our hotel, K+K Palais was about a 5 minute walk to the metro stop, which runs very regularly during the week.  Our longest wait was probably less than 3 minutes.  Where the metro doesn't go, the tram does.  Buy a single day or multiday ticket and you are set.

With this type of public transportation, why would anyone drive?
