If you give your name to the police or they have caller ID you will probably be identified by name in the police report which is available to the public if someone asks for it. If he shouts directly at you and uses abusive or threatening language or gestures he can be charged with "assault" by the police with you as a witness. If he comes on your property while in that mode he would probably be arrested especially if alcohol or drugs are involved (which is highly likely). It helps to have another witness, video, etc. In any event, he would probably get a written warning and that would be noted at the dispatch level which would alert the police to bring backup if they were called to that address again. He obviously doesn't understand how much trouble he could get into by this kind of behavior. The downside is that you might have to testify against him in court. It's important to decide how much disruption to your life this guy is worth. Be glad he won't be living there.

Hey gang- Thanks for the tip on the blood-meal. Too bad I didn't know about that before the deer ate 20 of the 25 baby arborvitae that I planted behind the house as a wind-break to the back-40. Schucks. Wonder if they'll recover...bummer. I'm in Z5, too, here in NH. Very nearly on the Z6 border, though, but I still buy and plant items that are hardy to Z4 & 5. I have good luck with winter sowing (not so with the tomatoes, surprisingly enough). I'll get some things out very soon...many 'reseeding' annuals will be able to go out now, but the tenders will have to wait til beginning of April. I found the best thing I did last year (my 2nd year WSing) was not to "pressure wash" the seeds (by that I mean that I watered with a hand-pump 2-gallong sprayer thing the first year, and made big holes in the soil in all my containers. Mistake.) Instead I bottom watered EVERYTHING and kept good watch on moisture levels at all times. I found some big trays on Freecycle, and use those. Under-bed boxes will also work, or whatever you can find that will hold enough water for several jugs at once. Some people just break out the kiddie pool...that's a good idea, too. I had over 400 containers the first year, and I think I cut it back to about 300 last year. I did a TON of annuals, and was very happy with the results.

If you read the whole interview, what she is saying philosophical. The media blew it out of proportion. They lifted quotes out of context and used them in headlines. She is saying that the people around MJ in his camp, used and manipulated him, overprescribed drugs, and worked him to death, much like the situation with Brittany Spears, Judy Garland and other musical child stars who were controlled by their "handlers" their whole life. She is not saying that there was any planned homicide orchestrated. There was no limo ride through a dark tunnel in a Paris on a Saturday night, with witnesses reporting "explosions" and mysterious automobiles speeding away from the scene. There won't be any books or made for television movies trying to "get to the bottom" of the "mystery".

Re - Fydior Dystoyvsky: It may be an uncommon spelling, but as the original version is in a different alphabet, any transcription into our letters can only create an approximation of the sound of the word. Therefore no definitive right or wrong version exists - merely agreed conventions - and the accepted conventions change, e.g. Peking/Beijing. Different languages with different pronunciation rules will have to spell transcribed words and names differently to keep the approximation of the sound, e.g. English Khrushchev, German Chruschtschow - same person. So, to get back to your cruise ship - what was its country of origin?
