They roast their own coffee, pull decent shots of espresso, and know how to make a proper cup of pour-over coffee. Win, win, and . . . win. I ordered a macchiato and it was a PROPER macchiato, not one of those ridiculous milkshake like concoctions you'll get at Starbucks. I also picked up a bag of freshly roasted beans. I usually like African coffees, so I decided to buy the Kinunu coffee. The description on the label may be a little confusing to most sane people, but it's full of juicy details for coffee geeks.<br /><br /><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlQVSryKmrixmySg5Sk7WTSnls16XUkGKTyGolmeeoPNwKlYeoaF-K-sBscuBixPLsZ8EuRpAwvE7n9crd8dcWQDL6XU9XFm8HY_k8B9ohoZwSJxYtPZfzQyGofJNUDlA1weOec7PKWdw/s1600/IMG_6259.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlQVSryKmrixmySg5Sk7WTSnls16XUkGKTyGolmeeoPNwKlYeoaF-K-sBscuBixPLsZ8EuRpAwvE7n9crd8dcWQDL6XU9XFm8HY_k8B9ohoZwSJxYtPZfzQyGofJNUDlA1weOec7PKWdw/s200/IMG_6259.JPG" width="150" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Inside The Bag</td></tr></tbody></table>I made a cup of this Kinunu coffee using my Clever Coffee Dripper, and the brew was outstanding.

(Wanita Wajib tau) Anggapan Salah Soal Pria

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Mulai dari sifat, sampai soal... seks. Kami ungkap hal-hal yang masih belum Anda pahami tentang makhluk bernama PRIA!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Pria bisa menebak SENDIRI apa yang ingin mengerti</strong></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><em>THE TRUTH: </em>Mereka tak bisa, dan tak akan pernah bisa! Ini adalah kesalahan terbesar yang masih saja wanita pikirkan (bahkan termasuk Anda) sampai saat ini. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ya, mungkin si dia bisa dengan mudahnya sadar kalau ada sesuatu yang mendadak bikin Anda murung. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Tapi bicara soal penyebabnya, percayalah, pria tak akan pernah bisa menebaknya sampai bibir Anda sendiri yang berkata-kata.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Maka, kali lain sikapnya membuat Anda naik pitam, atau ada masalah yang Anda ingin ia pahami, utarakan langsung padanya. Jangan membuang waktu dengan bermimpi bahwa akhirnya pria akan mengerti dengan sendirinya.<em> It won't happen.</em></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Pria bisa berubah</strong></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The truth: Secara fisik memang bisa, tapi sisanya, lebih baik Anda berhenti berharap terlalu banyak. Memang ada beberapa pria yang bisa mengubah sifat, atau mengontrol kebiasaan buruknya ketika dia benar-benar punya niat yang besar. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Tapi yang harus Anda pahami, sifat tersebut akan tetap ada pada diri mereka. Jadi bisa dipastikan, sikap itu bisa 'kambuh' kapanpun.<em> That's why, </em>saat mencintai seorang pria, Anda harus bisa menerima dia apa adanya. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jika memang tak bisa, lebih baik akhiri, dan berhenti menipu diri dengan harapan bahwa suatu saat dia akan berubah. Ini bisa bikin Anda menyesal nantinya.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Pria suka wanita yang <em>dress up</em> setiap saat</strong></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><em>THE TRUTH: Well,</em> pria normal mana yang tak suka melihat wanita yang nampak stunning dengan riasan sempurna, berbalut <em>body con dress </em>seksi, berdiri anggun beralaskan stilletto tajam menantang... <em>Superhot. And it's true, </em>pemandangan ini akan memanjakan mata mereka untuk sesaat. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Tapi<em> dear,</em> itu bukan berarti mereka menuntut Anda untuk tampil sempurna 24/7, kok. <em>When it comes to the one they love, </em>pria justru lebih cinta terhadap kecantikan yang datang dari kesederhanaan. Itulah mengapa si dia kerap mengeluh ketika Anda terlalu pusing soal berat badan yang sedikit bertambah, atau menghabiskan waktu berjam-jam hanya untuk dandan. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Karena bagi pria, saat terlihat percaya diri dan merasa nyaman dengan apa adanya Anda, itulah saat dimana Anda terlihat paling cantik, bahkan saat hanya mengenakan<em> jeans, T-shirt</em>, dan dengan rambut terikat sekalipun! </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Pria juga<em> multitasker </em>seperti Anda</strong></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><em>THE TRUTH: </em>'Keajaiban' <em>multitasking </em>hanya dimiliki oleh wanita. Pria boleh saja lebih fokus saat mengejar impian mereka. Tapi saat dihadapkan pada berbagai masalah di waktu yang sama, Anda mutlak pemenangnya. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ini juga berlaku dalam soal cinta, lho. Anda mungkin bisa mengatur <em>romantic surprise</em> untuknya di tengah <em>deadline</em> yang mengejar. Tapi dia? Belum tentu. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jadi, tak perlu terlalu dramatis jika si dia lupa menghubungi Anda saat <em>boy's night out</em> bersama para sahabatnya, atau tidak mengacuhkan Anda ketika sedang asik mengutak-atik mobilnya. Itu bukan berarti dia melupakan Anda.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Pria tak suka hal-hal yang romantis</strong></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><em>THE TRUTH: They love it the same way as you do! </em>The Notebook mungkin terlalu drama bagi mereka, tapi 50 First Date? Tak ada pria yang tak menyukai masterpiece romantis Adam Sandler itu.<em> Romantic getaway?</em></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Mungkin mereka tak pernah terpikir untuk mengaturnya, tapi saat Anda yang memberikan kejutan itu untuknya,<em> he's definitely gonna love it. See</em>, bukannya mereka tak menyukai hal-hal romantis. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Masalahnya, definisi romantis menurut Anda dan pria memang kerap berbeda. Atau kadang, mereka hanya kurang berinisiatif untuk melakukannya. Bahkan, menurut survei di AskMen.com, 80 persen pria berharap bisa menjadi lebih romantis. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Pria mulai jarang berkata <em>I love you = They don't love you anymore</em></strong></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><em>THE TRUTH:</em> Buang jauh segala pikiran negatif ketika si dia tak lagi mengumbar kata cinta sesering dulu. Selama tak ada bukti nyata akan adanya wanita lain, dan selama dia masih terus berada di samping Anda, berarti semua kecemasan itu sama sekali tak beralasan. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Sebaliknya, si dia justru telah benar-benar nyaman dengan hubungannya bersama Anda, sampai merasa tak perlu lagi meyakinkan Anda akan cintanya. Ingat darling, komitmen dari seorang pria merupakan bukti yang jauh lebih nyata dibanding sekadar kata cinta di awal hubungan.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Men are always craving for threesome.</strong></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><em>THE TRUTH: </em>100 persen <em>true,</em> jika Anda berbicara tentang para wanita yang mereka temui saat <em>clubbing</em>, atau dalam kisah one night stand mereka. Tapi, jika berbicara tentang wanita yang benar-benar mereka cintai, Anda salah besar! Percayalah, semua pria, termasuk pasangan Anda, tak akan pernah rela membagi miliknya dengan siapapun.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Pria tersinggung jika Anda berusaha meraih orgasme sendiri kala sesi panas bersamanya</strong></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><em>THE TRUTH: Oh honey</em>, itu justru merupakan impian mereka! Sama seperti Anda yang kerap merasa kesal ketika pasangan kurang lama melakukan<em> foreplay, </em>si dia pun bisa kesal saat Anda terlalu lama meraih<em> the big O</em>. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jadi, bertanggung jawab atas kepuasan masing-masing adalah <em>win win solution</em> yang sangat pria dambakan. Saat Anda percaya diri untuk menyentuh berbagai titik 'panas' di tubuh Anda, itu justru bisa bikin dia makin 'menggila'!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Saat patah hati, pria tidak pernah 'menderita'</strong></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><em>THE TRUTH:</em> Mungkin mereka kerap terlihat menikmati <em>party </em>meriah di berbagai <em>club, </em>plus bergonta-ganti wanita.<em> Think they are having so much fun? Maybe</em>. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Tapi itulah cara mereka untuk melupakan 'penderitaannya'. Ingat, berbeda dengan Anda, pria tak punya kebebasan untuk menangis atau berkeluh kesah setiap saat. Jadi, cara terbaik mereka untuk<em> dealing</em> dengan kegagalan cinta adalah..<em> going wild! Psst.. </em>Semakin mereka berusaha untuk terlihat senang, biasanya justru semakin dalam luka yang ingin ditutupi, lho.

The fee ranges from $5 to $75, depending on the standard of living for the country of residence. U.S. residents, for example, will be charged $38. <br /><br />Each applicant will have to submit a one-minute video explaining why he or she should be among the first humans on Mars. Applicants will be screened for physical and mental fitness, and will have to speak English. They should also be “mature and interesting," Mars One says.

Pilot Custom Heritage 91 Fountain Pen

At the time of acquisition, I really wanted to try a good Japanese nib, and I had my eye on the Pilot Prera fountain pen. After doing some research and over-analysis, however, my eye started to wander over to the higher quality Pilot pens, such as the Custom 74, the Custom 823, and the Custom Heritage 92. I accidentally learned about the Custom Heritage 91 model while reading up on the other Pilot models (the 91 is not readily available in the United States and there isn't a lot of published information about it). Long story short, I ordered one (in the Tsuki-Yo colorway) from a Japanese vendor, and am pleased to say the least. As the picture indicates, the nib is a 14 karat rhodium plated variety. I opted for a fine sized nib, assuming that it would write lines having a thickness similar to my Lamy extra fine and my Pelikan extra fine.<br /><br />Although I was a little paranoid about ordering something from a Japanese website, the experience was painless and the pen arrived safely and with little overseas delay. The pen came packaged in a simple box, with one complimentary Pilot ink cartridge. Nice package, but I would have been OK with a plain cardboard box and a lower price.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTHYDoe4AYENYT9BCdDOKLzsivI4hLcfPgUrRUIsqkz8BamRDGab5dAnoBdNf6Vwa_RCWi1QNyeQXmCnnEUTTpMar5AfPEbQoJpUpIXoBXjkC7av48K1-M7nGUIGRPFalJlwZOD5pkg20/s1600/IMG_5727.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTHYDoe4AYENYT9BCdDOKLzsivI4hLcfPgUrRUIsqkz8BamRDGab5dAnoBdNf6Vwa_RCWi1QNyeQXmCnnEUTTpMar5AfPEbQoJpUpIXoBXjkC7av48K1-M7nGUIGRPFalJlwZOD5pkg20/s200/IMG_5727.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><br />I also ordered a Pilot CON-70 converter for the pen; the CON-70 employs a cool button vacuum mechanism that literally sucks in the ink. It's actually somewhat fun to use the CON-70.

The 91 also comes in a standard black body for those who like something more traditional.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKdw_T6yPkB0QVnrvNq0fMply02GY3Yyre4PxD34pyY3NCxfzjfBS-fhLCIXhOja5M1Qv__RYd1imPU_8wcrOD_eoRjAhfn8PAhqMyI7bcsisfNDX06sHSykHH9HNN3mvobt8sDQwj5tU/s1600/IMG_5731.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKdw_T6yPkB0QVnrvNq0fMply02GY3Yyre4PxD34pyY3NCxfzjfBS-fhLCIXhOja5M1Qv__RYd1imPU_8wcrOD_eoRjAhfn8PAhqMyI7bcsisfNDX06sHSykHH9HNN3mvobt8sDQwj5tU/s200/IMG_5731.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><br />I already had a sample of the Tsuki-Yo ink waiting for the pen, and it was nice to try the ink for the first time using its matching pen. I recently bought a full bottle of the Tsuki-Yo ink and plan to keep the 91 loaded with it. Pilot did a great job at matching the pen color to the ink. The white balance and lighting used in my pictures may not depict how close the colors are, but in reality they are very close (especially when good white paper is used).<br /><br />So what about the pen itself? It's a great pen. The nib is high quality and it writes very smoothly but with some "toothy" feedback due to the fact that it is a Japanese fine sized nib. It always starts right up, it flows nicely, and doesn't skip. It has a little bit of give to it, but it is not as springy as the extra fine nib on my Pelikan M205. Take a look at the first picture above, the rhodium plating and design of the nib is top notch. The silver trim on the body is also very nice; I really prefer silver trim to the gold trim found on many traditional pens.<br /><br />The size, shape, and weight of the pen work well for me. It's a little on the light side, but I don't mind (it weighed in at 22.2 grams, including the cap, with the converter nearly full of ink). I can comfortably use the pen with the cap posted or unposted. I really like the "plain" traditional design of the pen, including the monotone colorway that carries through to the grip section. Stay classy.<br /><br />FYI, good reviews and better pictures of this pen can be found <a href="http://penaddict.com/blog/2013/1/21/my-fountain-pen-education-the-pilot-custom-heritage" target="_blank">here</a> (The Pen Addict) and <a href="http://www.leighreyes.com/?p=2554" target="_blank">here</a> (Leigh Reyes).<br /><br />I'll end this post with some writing samples on different types of paper. Each sample was written using the Pilot Custom Heritage 91 pen, with the matching Pilot Iroshizuku Tsuki-Yo ink. I tried to size, crop, and combine all of the images together for the sake of comparison. The image really shows how the the line width, feathering, and the color of the ink vary depending on the type/quality of paper. The images are ordered (top to bottom) from best to worst results, in my opinion. Rhodia Dot Pad = A; Moleskine Notebook = D.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1oJy7z8WHwJzVR0N4WGyocfYZI5odcVxN5yT4QlRB5ssGlX1G3Yc_Fupw2vNmqSHyZKFXoutm19xvafwcrN-2soYTXo6lJbSW1AUjzLTse0x_GFZJ9ZgwMioX5Q4qaEFLswQhSSmMTFY/s1600/20130415_Pilot91_samples.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1oJy7z8WHwJzVR0N4WGyocfYZI5odcVxN5yT4QlRB5ssGlX1G3Yc_Fupw2vNmqSHyZKFXoutm19xvafwcrN-2soYTXo6lJbSW1AUjzLTse0x_GFZJ9ZgwMioX5Q4qaEFLswQhSSmMTFY/s400/20130415_Pilot91_samples.jpg" width="238" /></a></div><br />

An indictment unsealed on Tuesday charged its owner, Hillel Nahmad, 34, with playing a leading role in a far-flung gambling and money-laundering operation that stretched from Kiev and Moscow to Los Angeles and New York.<br /><br />The case features a wide cast of characters, including a man described as a Russian gangster accused of trying to rig Winter Olympic skating competitions in Salt Lake City and a woman who once organized high-stakes poker games for some of Hollywood’s most famous faces. In all, 34 people were charged on Tuesday with playing a part in what federal prosecutors described as two separate but interconnected criminal groups — one operating overseas and the other in the United States. Together, they are accused of laundering more than $100 million in gambling money. <br /></div>

Murray was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and is serving a prison sentence.<br /><br />Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Yvette Palazuelos ruled in February that Jackson lawyers have shown enough evidence to warrant a jury trial on the negligent hiring case. She also ruled there was evidence to support the Jacksons’ claim that AEG Live executives could have foreseen that Murray would use dangerous drugs in treating the singer.<br /><br />"I don't know how you can't look to Mr. Jackson's responsibility there," AEG lawyer Marvin Putnam said. "He was a grown man."<br /><br /><span style="color: black; display: inline; float: left; font-family: museo-1,museo-2,helvetica; font-size: 32px; font-weight: 300; letter-spacing: -0.04em; line-height: 1em; margin: 30px 30px 30px -125px ! important; text-align: right; width: 295px;">“Mr. Jackson is a person who was known to doctor shop.”</span>"Mr. Jackson is a person who was known to doctor shop," Putnam said. "He was known to be someone who would tell one doctor one thing and another doctor something else."<br /><br />The child molestation trial is relevant because it "resulted in an incredible increase in his drug intake," Putnam said.<br /><br />The key to AEG Live's defense is its contention that Murray was never an AEG employee but rather was chosen and paid by Michael Jackson for nearly four years until Jackson died.<br /><br />Putnam pointed to the interview the doctor gave to police two days after Jackson's June 25, 2009, death. Murray told detectives it was his understanding that he was Jackson's employee, not AEG Live's, even though the concert promoter would be the party cutting his paychecks.<br /><br />"He was chosen by Michael Jackson," Putnam said. "He was brought to Los Angeles by Michael Jackson. He had been Michael Jackson's longtime physician and continued in that capacity and was directed by him and could only be fired at will by him."<br /><br />AEG Live became involved with Murray only after Jackson had persuaded him to join his "tour party" for the "This Is It" concerts, Putnam said. "Then what happens is AEG starts to go back and forth with him and his attorney [and] Dr. Conrad Murray, with drafts of contracts."<br /><br />Although Murray began treating Jackson six days a week in May 2009, it was only the night before Jackson's death that Murray signed a contract. AEG executives and Jackson never signed it, Putnam said. The Jackson lawyers will argue the signed contract was not necessary to establish employment.<br /><br />The unsigned contract and the oral understanding with Murray called for the doctor to be paid $150,000 a month while he served as Jackson's personal physician as the pop star performed 50 shows at London's O2 Arena in the second half of 2009 and into 2010.<br /><br /><b>AEG's role was like MasterCard, lawyer says</b><br />AEG Live's role with Murray was only to "forward" money owed to him by Jackson, just as a patient would use their "MasterCard," Putnam said. "If you go to your doctor and you pay with a credit card, obviously MasterCard in that instance, depending on your credit card, is providing the money to that doctor for services until you pay it back. Now, are you telling them MasterCard in some measure in that instance, did MasterCard hire the doctor or did you? Well, clearly you did. I think the analogy works in this instance."<br /><br />In fact, Putnam said, he learned during the discovery process that Michael Jackson was paying Murray during the last two months of his life.<br /><br />"He was paying for him during his entire time in Los Angeles and during the time we're talking about, Dr. Conrad Murray was being paid by Michael Jackson," he said. "We know this. We know this because the plaintiffs have said so."<br /><br />The revelation that Jackson paid Murray during that period has not been reported. Jackson lawyers declined to comment, citing ethical limitations to their ability to talk to the media about the case.<br /><br /><b>E-mails reveal AEG's involvement, Jacksons say</b><br />A cornerstone of the Jacksons' case is an e-mail AEG Live Co-CEO Paul Gongaware wrote 11 days before Jackson's death. The e-mail to show director Kenny Ortega addressed concerns that Murray had kept Jackson from a rehearsal the day before: "We want to remind (Murray) that it is AEG, not MJ, who is paying his salary. We want to remind him what is expected of him."<br /><br />Jackson lawyers argue the e-mail is evidence that AEG Live used Murray's fear of losing his lucrative job as Jackson's personal physician to pressure him to have Jackson ready for rehearsals despite his fragile health.<br /><br />The AEG Live lawyers say the Jackson lawyers have "taken it completely out of context." Gongaware and the others were only concerned with making sure Murray had all the help he needed, such as perhaps a physical therapist or a nutritionist for his patient, Putnam said.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.cnn.com/2013/04/02/showbiz/jackson-death-trial" target="_blank">Continue reading at CNN</a>.<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://www.nypost.com/p/news/national/who_your_daddy_xSgFH4zuGxH1BtuiYlMhIK" target="_blank">NY Post</a></b></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;">T</span><b>he $40 billion legal battle might finally settle a question: Who really fathered Michael Jackson’s children?</b><br /><br />Sources within AEG say that, despite the singer’s claims, only one of the kids is biologically his.<br /><br /><span style="color: black; display: inline; float: left; font-family: museo-1,museo-2,helvetica; font-size: 32px; font-weight: 300; letter-spacing: -0.04em; line-height: 1em; margin: 30px 30px 30px -125px ! important; text-align: right; width: 295px;">Who’s Your Daddy?</span>The company is prepared to uncover that only Blanket, 10, has the King of Pop’s DNA.<br /><br />His older siblings, Prince, 16, and Paris, 15, had a different sperm donor, the sources say.<br /><br />“There was a whole lot that Michael Jackson or his family wasn’t and isn’t being forthcoming about,” an AEG source said. “The drug use by Jackson, his use of alcohol, his relationship with his own family, and the identities of the children’s parents.”<br /><br />Among the evidence AEG could present are sworn affidavits, including one from a mystery woman identified only as “Helena,” who could be Blanket’s mother.<br /><br />Lawyers for the company also are prepared to present “irrefutable” proof that the Gloved One did not sire Prince and Paris, a source with direct knowledge of the case said. The company is poised to subpoena birth and other records.<br /><br />Jacko had always claimed to have used his own sperm to father his children. He acknowledged that the mother of Prince and Paris is his former nurse, Debbie Rowe.<br /><br />The identity of Blanket’s mother, believed to be a Hispanic woman living in the San Diego area, has never been revealed.<br /><br />But if AEG’s claims are true, the answer to who’s their daddy could come from a long list.<br /><br />The singer’s former doctor, Arnold Klein, has said he is the biological father of Jacko’s two oldest children. Former bodyguard and karate instructor Matt Fiddes began pressing the family for a DNA test of Paris shortly after the “Thriller” singer’s death. And former child actor Mark Lester claims that he may have fathered Paris.<br /><br />Jackson family members say they have little doubt who fathered Blanket.<br /><br />“Blanket looks just like him. There is no doubt that he is Michael’s,” said one relative.<br /><br />Blanket has even been treated for similar medical problems, including a skin condition, a family source told The Post. Jacko suffered from a disorder called vitiligo.<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-jackson-trial-20130409,0,5994885.story" target="blank">LA Times</a></b></span><br />Corina Knoll<br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;">A</span><b>ttorneys for the plaintiffs have listed 97 possible witnesses and the defense 113, many of which overlap.</b><br /><br />Among those who could testify are Jackson’s mother, Katherine' two of his children; his ex-wives Lisa Marie Presley and Debbie Rowe; and nearly all of his siblings.<br /><br />Music industry heavyweights Prince, Diana Ross and Quincy Jones are also on the index of witnesses, as well as director Spike Lee and actor Lou Ferrigno.<br /><br />Dr. Conrad Murray is listed as a potential witness for both sides.<br /><br />Jury selection in the case began in early April, with potential jurors being asked if they could take off the four months the trial is expected to last. Questioning of potential jurors who pass that first test is scheduled to start April 15.</div>

Leatherman Juice S2

As I wrote in an <a href="http://dailyacquisition.blogspot.com/2012/11/my-two-cents-on-gerber-dime.html" target="_blank">earlier post</a>, my first multitool (the Gerber Dime) was a multifail. I returned the Dime the day after I received it, and immediately began the acquisition process to identify a better product. As soon as I returned it, I knew that I would be looking for a Leatherman multitool. I looked at the different Leatherman models and decided to get one of the pocket sized multitools. The Skeletool models look super cool, but they have limited functionality. Ditto for the Freestyle model. After eliminating those models, I was left with the different Juice models. From there it was easy for me to pick the Juice S2 model because it has scissors in lieu of a corkscrew. I don't drink wine, and consider a corkscrew to be a silly addition to a multitool. I decided to acquire the orange version because I thought that it would be distinctive, difficult to lose sight of, and easy to locate.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtyidP_V4g_ZeskkNXiHOTpWiP1SetbBzaKlvyOPS2ghfJhqlbssLn6knxuVmUU05UA9WvNN5VPN7yvh6-QuYprqlkn8heUDmd3nPlTg28aXiT_xvJP34a84-c0cooDG4iZQ613V0ff4o/s1600/IMG_5767.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtyidP_V4g_ZeskkNXiHOTpWiP1SetbBzaKlvyOPS2ghfJhqlbssLn6knxuVmUU05UA9WvNN5VPN7yvh6-QuYprqlkn8heUDmd3nPlTg28aXiT_xvJP34a84-c0cooDG4iZQ613V0ff4o/s200/IMG_5767.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><br />The orange color is unusual, but not annoying or childish at all. I like it. I also like the awesome fit and finish of the S2, which blows away the fit and finish of the Gerber Dime that I had.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwut5s_8bmDkkUve_g597k8qSpngQUXfIbZUVfOHf0VRJBMqws8-hnFYJ_uCZJr9JoeQZLMFAy_ufKW7CwQX1ZtNgR7G2I1YzS6rkKxKxvhXHgd9GF75YW-v9qiPxFOpeIndIgEaBCT9M/s1600/IMG_5773.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwut5s_8bmDkkUve_g597k8qSpngQUXfIbZUVfOHf0VRJBMqws8-hnFYJ_uCZJr9JoeQZLMFAy_ufKW7CwQX1ZtNgR7G2I1YzS6rkKxKxvhXHgd9GF75YW-v9qiPxFOpeIndIgEaBCT9M/s200/IMG_5773.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><br />My original intent was to EDC the S2 for a month to see whether or not I would ever need to use any of the tools other than the knife or the scissors. Speaking of EDC, the S2 is small and light enough to EDC, although for me it pushes the envelope of what I would call "comfortable" EDC. Whether or not the S2 is too bulky or bothersome for use as an EDC item will depend on which pocket you use and how it settles into the pocket.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlKJDiPJKd9ThOrFEe1-LXgUF9IUltZYY44-O2fp9__H19B80TlRZAcYnATutaSF_FKtG05rpubkBGSUb8bpGndHu86lN0LVrI3NOxVUGRyllMDlWYqaM67dPvbyoPZVnjb6nTnp0cdgE/s1600/IMG_5768.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlKJDiPJKd9ThOrFEe1-LXgUF9IUltZYY44-O2fp9__H19B80TlRZAcYnATutaSF_FKtG05rpubkBGSUb8bpGndHu86lN0LVrI3NOxVUGRyllMDlWYqaM67dPvbyoPZVnjb6nTnp0cdgE/s200/IMG_5768.JPG" width="150" /></a></div><br />When I hear the word "Leatherman" I immediately envision a set of pliers. The Juice S2, as expected, includes a set of needle nose pliers that also serve as wire cutters.

Would it be nice to have some other items? Sure, but then the S2 would become bloated, heavier, and lose its primary selling point (for me at least): EDC functionality. By the way, the S2 can also be configured into a Transformer-like bipedal Edward Scissorhands thing:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7VaBAwEZ96K0wOMnULdTBur-KYmMuN8xx_mdivhh8rrKJnYssKKUWfg5uRTdA-oPjyyTM4Vt_b2w_ikgq0eYQfM4g-C4oHlErKLssUkU4C_QUgeYRiOwxY9IkOlKPzAecfVf67JCbHOQ/s1600/IMG_5772.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7VaBAwEZ96K0wOMnULdTBur-KYmMuN8xx_mdivhh8rrKJnYssKKUWfg5uRTdA-oPjyyTM4Vt_b2w_ikgq0eYQfM4g-C4oHlErKLssUkU4C_QUgeYRiOwxY9IkOlKPzAecfVf67JCbHOQ/s200/IMG_5772.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><br />This is an unadvertised benefit and function of the S2 that brings the tool count up to thirteen in my book. Anyhow, I got the Juice S2 in early December 2012 and didn't use anything other than the knife and scissors for a good while. Fast forward to Christmas day, and I had an opportunity to deploy the pliers, the phillips driver, and a flathead driver. I also used the scissors and the knife to break down some boxes. To be honest, I could have used a corkscrew to open a bottle of wine for some guests, but whatever.<br /><br />As mentioned above, my goal was to to EDC the S2 for a month or so to determine whether or not it makes sense to carry all of that functionality around. Well, the S2 didn't last an entire month. The day after Christmas, I needed a phillips screwdriver to install some batteries in my kid's toy. I made a point to announce to all the EDC disbelievers in the house: "it sure would be nice if I had a screwdriver on me . . . wait a second, I DO happen to have one right here in my . . . hey, where's my Leatherman?" It wasn't in my pocket, it wasn't in my <a href="http://dailyacquisition.blogspot.com/2012/08/valet-tray.html" target="_blank">EDC valet tray</a>, and it wasn't in the garage near the boxes that I had broken down. I swore that I placed it in an unforgettable place after breaking down the boxes. Where did I put it? Why, on the back bumper of the car! Brilliant.<br /><br />Unfortunately, my bright orange Juice S2 was not covered with a grippy rubbery exterior coating. Nor was it outfitted with an ultra heavy duty magnet. Accordingly, it fell off the bumper on the way to the local wine shop. I retraced my drive in an attempt to find the S2 in the street, but the distinctive and conspicuous orange sheen did nothing for me. Meh.<br /><br />Anyway, I really enjoyed and liked the S2 during the few weeks we had together. I'm glad that I captured some pictures of it before I lost it.<br /><br />PS - I acquired another Juice S2 a couple of months ago. I got the gray colored model and haven't lost it yet.
