If you haven't checked out Laughlin lately...

Riverside Glamour at Laughlin
Author: David H. Urmann


Riverside Hotel Resort and Casinos is a family- operated resort that has been very successful throughout these years. It is not only well- operated; it also has great location for you to explore... [Con't. below...]

MICKEY ROONEY TESTIFIES BEFORE CONGRESS ON THE HORRORS OF ELDER ABUSE
Mickey Rooney testifying before Congress over the abuse he suffered as a family member sought to take control of Rooney's financial assets
Rooney has come forward to tell a Senate Committee on Aging of the horrific elder abuse issue and describes the suffering he endured at the hands of a family member who sought to control his assets. Rooney specified that he was the victim of verbal, emotional and financial abuse, further saying that they stripped him of the ability to make even the most basic decisions while concentrating most of their efforts on meddling in his financial affairs.

Reports of a restraining order on behalf of Rooney, his wife, Jan and a stepson, Mark -- all of whom were living with the actor -- against a stepson identified as Chris Aber and his wife, Christina Aber, have lead to the assertion that they are involved.

Rooney has accused Aber in court filings of withholding food and medicine and meddling in his personal finances. He also indicated that they blocked access to his mail, Aber is the son of Janice Rooney, whom Rooney married  in 1978.

An L.A. attorney has been appointed as temporary Conservator of Rooney's estate with a permanent Conservator to be appointed at a later time, that case scheduled to be heard this month..

Rooney has indicated that he is fearful of retaliatory action on the part of the alleged perpetrators against himself, his wife, or his stepson, Mark.

Rooney's career spanned decades, beginning in the 1920's and continuing through the 70's. At 90, he still displays a strong and passionate character as he testified before the Senate Committee on Aging.

Not all musicians crash and burn with age. Colin Blumstone is one of the greats -- who's only gotten better with age...

Charlie Sheen: Diligently Destroying Himself and His Career

By most accounts, Charlie Sheen has been fortunate to keep his career underway in spite of oft-reported and grotesquely detailed stories of his poor business and personal choices.

But Thursday's interview on the popular [and closely monitored] Alex Jones show was particularly ill-fated and resulted in the cancellation of Sheen's show [Two and A Half Men] before the day was out.

Sheen's ranting included a thorough berating of the show's creator and co-star Chuck Lorre, and -- while the diatribe was plentiful, indeed -- it consisted of little more than an on-air meltdown with a stunned Alex Jones attempting to laugh at proper intervals during the live interview. Sheen's railing often made little sense at all, and lent credence to concerns that he is too drug-addled to function at all.

Sheen's narcissism seems to have overtaken his senses as he struggled to maintain a dialogue that sounded even  sane. If he has been engaged in a girlish 'snit' with his co-star [and show's creator] Lorre, it was relatively unknown until today. Now, it is widely recognized as the reason for the likely-permanent hiatus the show's producers decided to utilize in an effort to distance themselves from Sheen's egomaniacal behavior patterns.

Was it a publicity ploy? Doubtful. If there is one thing Sheen's handlers would prefer to avoid it's a client that seems completely out-of-control. Sheen -- for whatever reason -- is losing whatever fan base belonged to him [i.e.: not generated by his father's success in the field] he has had during his 'career.'

Will his career survive? Possibly. At $1.2 million per episode of the Two and a Half Men series [with a $600,000. raise per show in the next season] it is likely it will be some time before he finds a position paying as well. Will he survive? Maybe not. Sheen, like many [young, successful] actors before him, is suffering from an addiction that few could even afford to feed.

In his case, financial independence is detrimental to his health -- and his mind.

Sober up, Charlie. It's later than you think.

Riverside Glamour at Laughlin

Author: David H. Urmann

Riverside Hotel Resort and Casinos is a family- operated resort that has been very successful throughout these years. It is not only well- operated; it also has great location for you to explore.

One would think that by the time 2009 rolled around, Internet access problems would be a thing of the past.
Not so. Some of the old companies with the worst reputations started the same games under new names [DirecTV became HUGHES.NET] and started signing consumers again -- largely without a proper warning by the [corporate] press. How do you avoid getting scammed?

Ask in advance about their FAP record [they shut off your Internet if you use it too much] and -- even if your use is limited, you can find yourself with having violated their policies -- so call them and let them know you are recording the call -- or ask to 'get that in writing' before signing a contract with them. Google their company name name online followed by a word like 'scam' or 'rip-off' or 'I hate [COMPANY NAME]'. If you hit into thousands of hits -- and especially if you discover 40,000 hits or more, you can bet there's a bigger problem than just 'run-of-the-mill consumer issues.

It's not all bad news, though, since TDS has brought broadband to those with land line possibilities -- and the Desert Wireless.Net company will soon have wireless access available throughout Quartzsite.


 WHO IS JOHN GALT? THE QUESTION IS COMING TO THEATRE'S NATIONWIDE
Ayn Rand would appear to be the writer whose time has suddenly come: but who is Rand and why all the fuss? Galt's speech provides a clue to why -- all  these many years later -- his name is becoming a household word.   READ MORE

JAPAN'S DISASTER
DEEPENS: COMING SOON TO THE STATES?    DRUDGE READ MORE - VIDEO The most dangerous type of reactors are those currently in meltdown mode in Japan. While the fallout is clearly headed for the west coast, questions remain as to the amount of radiation involved. In the past, true levels have been withheld from the American public -- but now, with the Internet, other countries are openly reporting the severity of the threat....       LATEST RECORDED LEVELS


The Town Council's Press Release may, indeed, have been misleading, critics contend, the rates will only increase under the new guidelines.
