When my mother was six, her father was murdered - shot by assassins - in the streets of Athens. My mother witnessed the event. It was an assassination of sorts because my grandfather was involved with a political party. The man who shot him was dressed as a Greek Orthodox Priest and whipped the gun out from his robe after calling out my grandfather's name.

Where can I find a record of this event? Please help!

I am designing a new website and want to take my "freelance career" into a new area. I am thinking of a website called Get the Grade that would include How-to articles, class notes from across the US in general classes, scholarship resources, tutorials for general classes, etc. It would be geared for the college student but could expand to high school grades. What do you think? Do you think it would fly? Right now I focus on freelance writing and providing website content. I also dabble in affiliate programs and online marketing.

Just something that came to mind...♥

Donald Trump came across as exceptionally smug, obnoxious and narcissistic, all attributes that he personally admires in himself and which nauseate more thoughtful minds. He may be business savvy, but he resorted to the most naive counterarguments against Rosie O'Donnell. Any 'adequate' high school debater knows that an ad hominem attack (retorting the logic of an argument by assaulting the person rather than addressing the issue) is a serious technical foul.

It is interesting that, rather than debate the central claim that he is or is not a 'moral compass' by providing evidence of his good deeds, he instead decided to focus his counterattack on her weight, her homosexuality, and her personality. Has he absolutely no sense of the emotional weight of his words on overweight teenage girls, or on young men who want to emulate his success, and who inevitably will adopt his superficial attitude toward vulnerable women already suffering low self-esteem about their appearance? Is this not demonstration enough of his wayward moral compass, which is what Rosie accused him of to begin with?

A lawsuit? Please. His was an impulsive, venomnous assault to an astute and outspoken comedianne who gets paid to give her subjective 'view' of popular culture. She was completely within the job descriptions of her character on the show. Donald Trump has eagerly played the role of a media-starved business tycoon for decades now, so he is fair-game for the spontaneous dialogue that The View was designed for by his friend Barbara Walters. Rosie is neither a professional journalist who is paid to present objective facts without bias, nor a corporate foe with an agenda related to knowingly disrupting his business interests for her personal profit. I cannot therefore see for the life of me how he would have any basis for a lawsuit; if so, she has an equal basis to sue him for slander.

In fact, I see more potential for a successful lawsuit filed against Donald Trump because his comments were clearly and deliberately designed to impair her career as an entertainer by miring her public reputation, whereas he is not an entertainer and her comments were only indirectly about his business affairs.

I just bought my first cell phone - Palm Treo 700p. Anyone had any experiences with cases for this phone? I've never really wanted to carry a phone on my belt but that's probably the most convenient. Any ideas or suggestions?

I can't be bothered going to see it, I know it will be full of cliches and I'd rather see the original first, but can anyone tell me the plot of the film? Basically what I want to know is who gets killed, and how do they die? I'm assuming Michelle Trachtenburg is the surviving girl, so what happens to the rest of them? Especially Lacey Chabert, I love it when they kill off the famous cast members in slasher movies, like Drew Barrymore in Scream, or Sarah Michelle Gellar in I Know What You Did Last Summer and Scream 2, or Denise Richards in Valentine, or Tyra Banks in Halloween:Ressurection, or Jenny McCarthy in Scream 3, or Joseph Gordon-Levitt in Halloween H20, or Kelly Rowland in Freddy vs Jason, or Johnny Depp in A Nightmare On Elm Street, or Kevin Bacon in Friday the 13th, or Eva Mendes in Urban Legends: Final Cut, or Joshua Jackson in Urban Legend. Pity they never killed Brandy in I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, she escaped from the killer like a thousand times.
