Представляем фильм "ПОРОГ", снятый в далеком, 1988 году, режиссером Ролланом Сергиенко. Introducing the film "THRESHOLD", filmed in a remote, 1988, directed by Rolland Sergiyenko. Фильм, пробивший "железный" занавес замалчивания последствий Чернобыльской катастрофы. The film, the sample, the "iron" curtain of silence the consequences of the Chernobyl disaster. Практически сразу же после сдачи и премьеры в союзе кинематографистов СССР и участия в первом МКФ неигрового кино в Ленинграде «Послание к человеку», "Порог" был арестован представителями Межведомственной комиссии. Almost immediately after the delivery, and the premiere of the USSR Union of Cinematographers, and participation in the First Non-Feature Film International Film Festival in Leningrad «Message to the man», "Threshold" was arrested by the Interdepartmental Commission. 5 января 1989 г. специалисты заинтересованных ведомств на заседании секретариата СК СССР огласили свой приговор. 5 Jan, 1989 professionals concerned departments at the meeting secretariat SK USSR announced its verdict. Авторам было строго указано, что согласно установленному порядку еще до осуществления съемок необходимо было предоставить сценарий экспертной группе для составления заключения. Authors have been strictly observed that according to the established order even before the shooting, it was necessary to provide a scenario for a group of expert opinion. Из текста фильма, согласно Перечню сведений по вопросу об аварии на Чернобыльской АЭС, не подлежащих опубликованию в открытой печати, радио- и телевизионных передачах, предписывалось изъять прямые и косвенные указания на величины доз облучения, любую информацию о работоспособности и состоянии лиц, подвергшихся во время или после аварии действию радиации, а также сведения о количестве военнослужащих, участвовавших в ликвидации аварии... From the text of the film, according to the list of information on the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, not be published in the press, radio and television broadcasts, were required to withdraw the direct and indirect indication of the magnitude of radiation doses, any information on the efficiency and status of persons exposed during or after the accident, radiation effects, as well as information on the number of troops involved in an emergency ... Заключение экспертной комиссии более чем на полгода заперло фильм на «полку». The conclusion of the expert commission for more than six months locked in the film «shelf». Только в результате депутатского запроса на весенней сессии Съезда ВС СССР Порог получает разрешение на тираж и прокат. As a result of a request the deputy in the spring session of the Congress of the USSR Supreme Council threshold allowed for the circulation and rental. Разрешение, однако, не означает должного его осуществления. Permission, however, does not properly implement it. Ни тираж, ни прокат картины нельзя будет назвать «широкими». Neither circulation nor rent pictures can not be called «high». Так же, как отдельную победу гласности над «полугласностью» - окончательной. Just as a victory for openness over «semivowel» - final. К сожалению, нам пока не удалось найти качественную копию фильма на его родине. Unfortunately, we have not yet been able to find high-quality copy of the film in his homeland. Сам фильм, который мы совместно восстанавливали (команда сайта www.pripyat.com) , как и афиша к нему, получены от немецких коллег, где премьера фильма состоялась еще 8 марта 1990 года, и произвела широкий резонанс в обществе. The movie, which we restored together (team site www.pripyat.com), as the poster to be circulated, received from German colleagues, where the premiere of the film was still on 8 March 1990, and has wide public. http://pripyat.com/media/movie/porog.pripyat.com.avi http://pripyat.com/media/movie/porog.pripyat.com.avi Информация о фильме Information about the film Название: Порог Title: Threshold Год выхода: 1988 Year: 1988 Жанр: Документальный Genre: Documentary Режиссер: Роллан Сергиенко Director: Rolland Sergiyenko Язык : Русский Language: Russian Размер : 715 Mb ( 748 215 616 bytes ) Size: 715 Mb (748 215 616 bytes) Видео : 624x480 25 fps, DivX Codec 5.03 Video: 624x480 25 fps, DivX Codec 5.03 Длительность : 1час 27 мин Running time: 1 hour 27 minutes Аудио : 128 кбит/сек , MPEG Layer 3, 1 ch, Audio: 128 kbit / s, MPEG Layer 3, 1 ch, Качество: TV-рип Quality: TV-rip

But for English-speaking spectators I suggest interlinear translation of this song, which is an emotional core of film and the refrain of which accompanies the final frames of already thrown City:
WE'LL UNDERSTAND LATER
Music group "Dialogue"

The beam of crystal utensils blinds eyes,
carpets weigh on walls
We frequently remember the price of any things,
but we don't remember about invaluable.

We'll understand later, we'll understand later,
having wandered over world a lot,
how much dear for us the things,
which fortunately haven't the price.
We'll understand later, we'll understand later

The river runs far somewhere,
the stars captivate in height
About a rain, about a snow, about clouds
nobody will ask: how many costs?

We'll understand later, we'll understand later,
having wandered over world a lot,
how much dear for us the things,
which fortunately haven't the price.
We'll understand later, we'll understand later

How it is good that to singing birds,
to a grass and to these spring dews,
to a dawn and to light of summer lightnings
the label with the price was not been attached...

We'll understand later, we'll understand later,
having wandered over world a lot,
how much dear for us the things,
which fortunately haven't the price.
We'll understand later, we'll understand later

We accept everything in the life,
We laugh, joy, we cry
And how conscience? How honour?
Really we shall appoint the price to them too?

We'll understand later, we'll understand later,
having wandered over world a lot,
how much dear for us the things,
which fortunately haven't the price.
We'll understand later, we'll understand later

Lyubov Sirota "Radiophobia"

Excerpted from of Rollan Sergienko's film "Threshold" (about the film see here: http://pripyat.com/ru/media/video_new... ) with the video of Lyubov Sirota's poem "Radiophobia" (together with the English translation can be found at: http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fus... ), written and filmed still in 1988, it is directed against the lies, falsehoods, and double standards of the criminal authorities of the former USSR.
But in view of the recent, most terrible events, i.e., Russia's military aggression in Georgia, this poem might now also be addressed to those who have created this war, and who once again conceal their terrible plans beneath attractive and deceptive rhetoric...
Фрагменты из фильма Роллана Сергиенко "Порог" (о фильме см. здесь: http://pripyat.com/ru/media/video_new... ), - видео версия стихотворения Любови Сироты "Радиофобия" (текст этого ст. см. здесь: http://www.stihi.ru/author.html?svityk ), которое было написано и снято еще в 1988 г., и было направлено против лжи, фальши и двойных стандартов преступной власти бывшего СССР.
В свете последних ужасных событий, т.е. военной агрессии России в Грузии, это стихотворение может быть также адресовано всем творцам войны, вновь прикрывающимися красивыми и лживыми лозунгами...

Transporting Alligators| Wired Science | Wired.com

Housing hundreds of thousands of specimens, the museum has been at the forefront of preservation techniques since it was founded in 1908. For example, the MVZ pioneered the technique of using flesh-eating beetles to clean the skeletons of small mammals. Depending on how hungry the beetles are, it can take as little as 24 hours for them to strip the meat from the skull of a small mammal.

In this video (which is safe for work but probably not for the squeamish), we take you on a step-by-step tour of the preservation process.

“If you’re going to kill something, you want to maximize the potential use of it, not just for today, but forever,” said Jim Patton, the director emeritus of the museum.

The MVZ isn’t open to the public, but Wired Science toured its hallowed vaults to give you a peek inside a working zoology research facility. In Part 1 of this video series, we present the bone and fur rooms, which store large mammal parts. In the third video, we will look into the significance of the collection and how it has been used as a massive dataset for observing climate change.

Dr. Nick talks…In this, his first interview, talks Elvis and physician, George Nichopoulos, known Dr. Nick, about the King, Elvis!

Dr. Nick talks…In this, his first interview, talks Elvis and physician, George Nichopoulos, known Dr. Nick, about the King, Elvis! Okay, let's start from the beginning. When did you very first meet Elvis? George Klein's girlfriend (Barbara Little) worked in my office around 1967. I was on duty one Sunday when I got a call saying that Elvis had been riding horses at the Circle G Ranch and that he was saddle sore. So, you made the trip out to Graceland? No, I went all the way up to the damn ranch, three times! I went all the way out there to take a look and he asked if I wouldn't mind stopping by Graceland to take a look at his Grandma. I said that I was kinda on call but he insisted saying that it'd only take a minute. When I dropped by the house, I learned that he'd called ahead asking if I could go back out there because he'd forgotten to ask me something. It’s a good few miles from Graceland isn't it? Yeah, about eight or ten miles, it's a pretty good drive. Anyway, I asked one of the maids in the kitchen if she could get him on the phone so I could talk to him, but she said he wanted to talk to me personally. So I go back out there. It must've been pretty important to get you back there. No. I don't recall what he asked me, something off the wall. I think he just wanted to check something. But then he wanted me to stop by the house again on the way back. So, I got back to Graceland and they said Elvis had called and he’d forgotten to ask me something. I went back a third time… What did he want? Nothing. So what do you think the reasoning was behind asking you to drive out there three times? He just liked having new people around, just someone new to talk to. He'd get tired of the same people, some of the guys. He'd get tired of their conversations too. He loved to talk about a lot of things. They'd carry three of four lockers full of books on tour just full of books. Sometimes he may not have touched any of them, but if he wanted to read, he wanted to read and he had to have them. He was very well read. What happened after your hectic day running to and from the ranch? I saw him the next day. He called again did he? Yeah (laughs). When did you actually become his personal physician? Well, as soon as he started touring he wanted me along. I told him that I just couldn't do it because I knew what would happen to me as a doctor if I did. I wouldn't be able to continue with my practice, get more schooling & do all the things I needed to do. But you went along in the end. Yeah, and a few times he got pissed off and tried to fire me. I told him that he couldn't fire me because I didn't work for him. You were never on the payroll? Never on the payroll. When I went on the tours we figured out a formula because the other doctors in my office were getting jealous, they thought it was all a vacation. We figured out what I probably would have made if I’d have stayed at home for the two weeks, three weeks or a month, and then Elvis would pay me that amount. I would then give it to them (the other doctors). So, your boss was happy enough with the arrangement to let you go on tour? Right. And you looked after just Elvis? No, a hundred and fifty people. What kind of thing were you treating? It depended on what state we were in and what the season was. It could be flu, diarrhoea, vomiting to venereal disease. We had one guy on the tour, Felton Jarvis, who had a kidney transplant. Before he had the transplant I went along and did dialysis with him. I had to do a lot of different stuff just for Felton. Was it difficult to handle all those people? The worse thing about it is that they were all night people. They slept during the day, they came alive and got sick at night. And I guess that as soon as you came off the tour, you had to fit right back in to your normal hours at the practice? Right, it was demanding. When we were home I'd still see Elvis probably five or six days out of the week. Every night on the way home I'd go by his house just to check on him or just to sit and talk. He loved to talk. I want to ask you about the efforts made by doctors in Vegas to help Elvis shed some extra pounds. How did that work? They had figured out a way for him to lose weight by putting him to sleep for three weeks at a time, just waking to take liquids. At the end of it he'd gained ten pounds! A good rest but not much of a diet! What, in your opinion, was the most serious threat to Elvis’ health? Many fans would say it was his intake of drugs. Some fans are really ignorant of what really went on. Elvis had a colon complaint where he was born without a nerve supply to the colon and small intestine. A major problem was that nothing could move through the intestine because he didn't have the nerve to force it through. So, Elvis' colon was just getting bigger and bigger, it was simply huge at the time of his autopsy. Elvis asked why part of his colon just simply couldn't be removed. It was this problem that caused his big stomach. We talked to two or three doctors but because it was Elvis, they just wouldn't do it. It wasn't really being done that much in the '70s and they were scared to do it. Today there wouldn't be a problem. They wouldn't think twice about it. It was serious because when you get a build up of material in the gut it can get septic. You might survive, or you may die by the time the bacteria hits the blood stream. This was the reality of one of the illnesses that he had. What caused Elvis' voice to slur on stage? There was one time when I went to Vegas or Palm Springs when Elvis got mad at me and he cussed me out and we parted ways. He went out there and got on some heavy stuff. This wasn't something that he did that often. I assume this stuff wasn't coming from a proper doctor right? I don't know where he was getting it from, not that kind of thing anyway. Elvis called me everything imaginable and another doctor went on the next tour. The new doctor changed the medicine around that I was giving him and the stuff that he gave him was a heavy tranquilliser. The problem was that it had a side effect that would drop your blood pressure and last a long, long time. It could just be a few hours, or it could last twenty-four hours. Elvis just couldn't wake up. He'd go out there and he was still groggy and half asleep. He couldn't do his shows and he couldn't move. Did the Colonel or Vernon intervene? The Colonel and I were not real close but he called me and asked if I could rejoin the tour because things had gotten all screwed up. I said that I wasn't going to but if Elvis wants to call me to take back the things he said, then I might consider it, I just didn't know. Elvis did another bad show that night so the Colonel called me again and told me that I had to go back because the shows were getting terrible. Elvis was screwing things up, he couldn't remember what he was doing on stage. The Colonel said that they needed me to go back and figure out what was going on. So, Elvis did finally call and he told me he was sorry for what had happened. He asked if I'd go back, so I did. I found out that if he didn't use that particular drug, there was no problem with the shows. This was the only time, as far as I know, when he'd have such problems on stage. I really wanted to quit because my family was on my butt because I wasn't at home. My regular patients were on my butt saying that I was taking care of Elvis and not taking care of them. But you chose to go back on tour with Elvis, to sort out the damage done by the other doctor? You know, when Elvis was in the hospital he did well. He got all the attention he wanted. The only thing he didn't get was the drugs because everything had to go through the nurses at the hospital. I decided that we needed to do this when he was at home too, so I told Elvis that I wasn't going to give him medication through other people and that I was going to keep his medicine. We then moved a nurse into Graceland telling Elvis she was there to look after his Grandma. If Elvis needed something during the night, the protocol was left with her. I never left anything with him. Did you ever come across anything given to Elvis by the feel-good doctors in Vegas or Los Angeles? There was only one good thing that I learned through going to Elvis' house one time. I'd gone up to the bathroom to collect something that he'd left up there next to the sink. I found three bottles of pills, a thousand pills in each bottle. There were uppers, amphetamines, valium and codeine. When I threw those pills away Elvis got pissed off. I disposed of them right down the commode. Just think how hard it is to treat a grown man just like a child. You needed to be there to give him medicine when he needed it. He was an adult and he should have been able to read the label himself. It took a long time for him to buy that. Would you say that part of the problem was Elvis' addictive personality? Oh yeah, there was one time when Elvis came back from California and was almost dead. We took him straight from his plane to the hospital. Another doctor out in California was giving him shots of Demerol, which is a painkiller. His body had gone into shock and I had to detoxify him in the hospital. If there were such signs of polypharmacy (a drug cocktail), why wasn't he admitted more often? I admitted him several times into the hospital and the term polypharmacy means nothing. You take any cancer patient walking the street, almost any patient of any kind with a major disease; and they take six, eight, ten medications. But Elvis' dosages were getting larger because he was becoming immune to the effects. No, I can't think of one drug where this would be a problem. Let me give you an example. His usage was heaviest when he was on the road because things were more important to him than at any other time with the shows. He was afraid that if he didn't sleep he wouldn't do a good show. He would come home off the tours and he may go a week, ten days, two weeks without taking a thing. If he was addicted, he couldn't do that. So, I don't think he was immune to anything. You're saying that Elvis was in control of his intake? No, he wasn't in control, we were. When you're addicted to something you don't have any say so, you've got to have that drug. It's not something that you've got any mental control over. It's kind of confusing but yes, Elvis had an addictive personality, he would've loved it if somebody was there giving him something all the time. It must have got to the point where Elvis realised that he was in some kind of danger health wise. Yeah, he did. But when you need something, you can't rationalise. I tried to get him to go to a clinic but back in those days there weren't many around. I could only find one and that was in Arkansas. We hear about a whole series of drugs being given before and after each show. Well, that's true. Elvis had a lot of trouble with Arthritis and he could also suffer from a lot of disc trouble in his back and neck. We could actually predict that if he did a certain number on stage, then he'd hurt like hell afterwards. You know, he'd be snapping his neck around and doing a lot of gyrations. Doing a lot of karate stuff with his bad back. We'd have to treat all that just like any other series of sport injuries. You'd honestly say that everything you ever prescribed Elvis yourself was needed, nothing extra? Yes, the only thing that wasn't needed was placebos. And they are? The easiest way to make up a placebo is to break open a capsule, take the medicine out and put sugar in it, or salt, instead of the medication. So, that's the way we got around it. Otherwise, everything was given for a reason. Can you tell me a little about the racquetball venture? We got Elvis involved in racquetball because we were trying to build up some courts in the United States, we were trying to use his name. Elvis didn't put any money into it, he just agreed for us to use his name. His Daddy wasn't happy with the whole thing from the beginning because he didn't know about it. It was the only business venture that Elvis got into that his father didn't have anything to do with. Vernon was not a businessman by any stretch of the imagination. So, one of the guys involved out in Palm Springs somehow found out that one of the other guys who ran the business part of it was getting paid and had got himself car. The rest of us knew nothing about it. Well, he told Elvis about it, he didn't mention it to us, and so Elvis thought we were pulling something behind his back. His Daddy found out about it and told him to get out of the deal. So, Elvis never loaned you any money regarding the racquetball deal? He put in around $100,000 at the very end of it because there were a lot of bills that occurred through him pulling out, a lot of bills that we wouldn't have had if he had stayed there. Can we lift the mood a little by you telling me your fondest memory of Elvis? That may've been the time Elvis shot me (laughs). His Daddy had just been discharged from the hospital after having a heart attack. Elvis had made a trip out to the dentist's office and he'd asked him for some painkillers. He must've taken a couple of grocery sacks full. I told him that he wasn't going to have them so he started firing the gun. It was a wonder that his Daddy didn't have another heart attack. A bullet bounced off something in the room and I got burned across my chest. That sounds pretty terrifying. I bet you were worried there for a second. Not as worried as Elvis was (laughs). I know all you guys got along great. Any other stories from on the road? We scared the shit out of one of the guys one time. We gave him some red dye in a candy bar he was eating and when he urinated he thought he was dying, it was blood red. I was sitting there when he came in saying that he didn't want to flush the toilet until I'd seen what had happened. I told him to hang on until I'd finished on the phone, but I wasn't actually talking to anybody. He walked back and forth waiting. We had set him up by telling him that this was the way Felton Jarvis had gotten sick, by his urine going red, and he eventually lost his kidneys. You weren’t too cruel to each other then (laughs). You have a funny story from New Years Eve 1975 in Pontiac right? You know, Elvis was so nervous that night. It was so cold that he was afraid his throat wasn't going to hold up. What with the weather and everything that was going on, he insisted that we flew his throat doctor in from Las Vegas. I just told him that I had a friend who was a throat doctor and that he'd take a look at him. We got him in to attend to his throat and Elvis never knew a thing about it. He would have killed me. Just a regular doctor right? That's right (laughs). Well, I know your time is precious, thanks so much for meeting up and allowing me to talk openly with you. A pleasure, no prolem. (Our sincere thanks to Tom Salva and Russ Howe for their help with this interview.)

The King and Dr. Nick: What Really Happened to Elvis and Me

The King and Dr. Nick: What Really Happened to Elvis and Me

Elvis' personal physician, 'Dr. Nick' Nichopoulos has written a book to be released February 2010. The book is said to contain the 'truth' about Elvis' death from the doctor who spent a decade with Elvis on the road and at Graceland, trying to maintain the precarious health of one of the world's greatest entertainers. But on August 16, 1977, he found himself in the ambulance with Elvis on that fateful last trip to the ER.

He signed the death certificate. From that day forward, Dr. Nick became the focus of a media witch hunt that threatened his life and all but destroyed his professional reputation. Now, for the first time, Dr. Nick reveals the 'true' story behind Elvis' drug use and final days-not the version formed by years of tabloid journalism and gross speculation. Put aside what you've learned about Elvis' final days and get ready to understand for the first time the inner workings of 'the king of rock n' roll'.

David Lynch: Dark Night of the Soul by CH Contributor

by Julie Wolfson

A physical exegesis of the album Dark Night of the Soul, controversial filmmaker David Lynch collaborated with the album's creators—Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse—to create a two-room installation at the Michael Kohn Gallery in Los Angeles.

The intermingling of the music and photos was no accident. A huge fan of Lynch, Danger Mouse approached the filmmaker about working together on a project. Lynch, inspired by the music from Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse, began taking photos that fit the mood of their melodies.

Even more fittingly, music from Dark Night of the Soul plays throughout the rooms housing fifty of Lynch's photos, which, mounted on aluminum panels, appear as though they're floating on the gallery walls. The album itself features tracks created with the Flaming Lips, Iggy Pop, Frank Black, James Mercer (The Shins), Julian Casablancas (The Strokes), Suzanne Vega and many others.

On top of the album, the project also includes a limited-edition book with 100+ pages of original photography from Lynch, in addition to a 24x36-inch poster and a custom designed CD-R—Danger Mouse's way of avoiding a lawsuit with record label EMI, the blank CD-R as an artifact to use however deemed suitable. The album is available for purchase online for $50.

ADD and Sex

There are great potentials or traps with ADD.

As many of you have seen, I am on a mission to highlight some of the traps to be avoided by those lucky individuals who have symptoms of ADD and ADHD. Being categorized in this realm for all my life, I will always be grateful for my "condition" because once I got beyond the heavy regimentation of academic education, I found my brain dynamics to spur me into tremendous advantages of creativity and personal gratification in fantasy and life philosophy of joy.

But yes, there are some traps I have learned that can be trials, both for the individual and those who have to live with him or her. My last discussion was about flying, which did not seem to excite many readers from the low response. However, this trap might be more interesting - sex.

For a person with the symptoms of limited focused concentration and out-of-the-box imaginations for novel experiences and thought, sex is the playground for our brains. I could predict that a person with this description is not one kind of a sex partner, but likely 3 or 4, depending on the time of day. If you think that he or she is going to be predictable, even for those GREAT events, think again. Of the types I have done my private research with, I offer this information to whoever is committing to a long-lasting relationship. For the ADD person I can recognize many sexual scenarios they like to engage in: 1. The highly impulsive, super romantic lover. 2. The fantasy lover. The passionate, intimate lover. There are others, but these three appear to be consistent.

If you are guessing if these types are generalized to all people or part of the brain structure, my guess would be the latter. The ADD brain lends itself to these realms because of its neurological needs. This type of person wants highly stimulating conditions and boredom grows easily. Just as there is a tendency toward dangerous and dare-taking events for stimulation, there is the excitement of the thrill of highly charged sexual conquests and "chancy" situations. Such a person loves the imagery of sex, probably as much as the sex act itself. Since sex is 90% imagery and fantasy anyway, this would be a good sign of continuing interest beyond novelty or having babies. In fact, it may be disappointing that I have had these individuals tell me that they often don't care who their partner is, just don't mess up their fantasies. This observation is more prominent among females, so don't ask what they are thinking, guys. You may be disappointed. On the other hand, this brain issue also makes these individuals very susceptible to fantasies of their partners. One could exploit this factor with a really good story. I know of a man who was biologically paralyzed with no function below his waist but could tell fantasy stories to his wife with an amazing talent, having her reach organism quicker than the old fashioned way by many minutes.

With this information I asked some individuals if they had a choice as to whether they would rather have a great fantasy story teller or a great sexual athlete. It would not surprising to me that a wide majority of the women chose the story teller, but what surprised me was that a large minority of the men did so as well. I think there might be a business for porno CDs out there.

With any dynamic there are always limitations, and these often show up in marriage counseling and divorce processing, making me wonder if there should be pre-marriage counseling for all ADD-like people and their potential partners.

Trap one: Same place, same station scheduled sex. Whenever you try and schedule sex with a person with a rich fantasy-life, you are going to empty the energy fast. There is nothing worse than making sex the last event of the day, after everything is done, the kids have gone to bed, the dishes are done and the Tonight Show is over. This is like trying to find an interesting television show after the power is turned off. There is just nothing of interest but a blank screen.

Trap two: One channel sex. As could probably be expected, the individual with ADD thrives on imagination and creativity. If you are still doing it the same way you did five years ago, I would predict that you are doing it alone, even if your ADDer is physically there.

Trap three: Absent seductive behavior. We all can remember when we were just learning about the more intimate conditions between boys and girls, and the smartest among us caught onto the art of flirting (which wasn't me, by the way.) Flirting behavior is usually thought as seduction behavior, similar to the male turkey flaunting his tail feathers. But when we settled down to a long-term commitment, we boxed up all that behavior because we had "caught our limit." Not so fast. Hopefully we have progressed past 15 years old (maybe not), but that flirting or seduction stuff is fun and full of fantasy and could be more fun than the sex act itself. Regardless of age and experience, women still like to feel like a prize and pursued as a worthy conquest. Men still like to think they can capture their treasures with clever tactics, even if their lines are as old as leisure suits. It is fun, especially for those with high needs for novelty, to surprise their partners with dress-up dates and suggestive moves at the dinner table, even if both of you are too tired to turn out the light at 8:00 P.M. It is the thought that counts.

As I say at every close, there is more traps to know. The important message in these traps is that the dynamics of any personality will always create challenges, especially in interpersonal relationships. ADD or ADHD is no different. We all stumble into at least one challenge every month, even if we have been married for 50 years. And like the whole concept that a relationship has strengths from both sides, a successful bond discovers what those strengths are in each other and uses them as power resources to the trails of life. You can't use our limitations as resources very well because they are often the problems. And we all realize that sometimes there are little power resources yet developed and relationships can't work efficiently. Maybe these pieces of information can help guide those with ADD in traps to discover the best opportunities for joy that life can offer.

Michael Jackson Biographer on 'Strange Note' Reportedly Found - Video at The Insider

via The Insider

J. Randy Taraborrelli, author of Michael Jackson: The Magic, The Madness, The Whole Story, offers his insight into the recent report describing the condition of Michael Jackson's bedroom.

A source told the Associated Press that the top floor was a mess, unbearably hot and there were reportedly twenty handwritten notes on the walls including one note that read, "Children are sweet and innocent."

"This was sort of a running theme," Taraborrelli reacts to the news report. "It doesn't surprise me ...this strange note in his bedroom."

As for the claims that Jackson was taking the anesthetic Propofol on the night before his death, the author says, "I think it shows you how desperate Michael was, so desperate for a good night's sleep."

Keep checking back with "The Insider" for more Michael Jackson coverage...
