I've noticed more older people with tatoos in 'contemporary' locations, too. Maybe they're more visible in Florida because of the year-round summer wardrobe or, just maybe, we have more than our fair share of kooks.

2. Daniel was anorexhic (sp) Where the hell did that "idea" come from??

I think we all know that Anna was surrounded by the scum of the legal and medical community. I wasn't going to point this out, but this smells like Michael Schiavo. Remember, he blamed Terri's collapse on too much iced tea. They tried to make it sound like she suffered from bullimia. Skunks like HKS make it their business to see what other skunks get away with.

When I took my son in, he weighed 130 lbs on a 6'1" body. He was not anorexic, and neither was Daniel.

Here's a recipe which is really good if you hate to waste leftovers.

Potato Tacos

---

3 c. Leftover mashed potatoes
1 c. Cheddar cheese grated(or whatever kind you've got)
corn tortillas
S&P
(optional leftover ham or chicken)
Cooking oil

Let the mashed potatoes get to room temp. Add the cheese. S&P to taste. Mix all together. If you've got some left over ham lunch meat or chicken add that in too. But not too much cuz the potatoes are the main part.

Put 5 tortillas at a time in the microwave covered for about 45 seconds.

When the tortillas are cool enough to touch put about about a golfballs size of the potato mixture. Smush it down and roll the tortilla. Set aside. Repeat until all the potatoe mixture is used up. Heat the oil and carefully put the tortilla with potato mixture in the oil. WHen they brown turn them over. Be careful taking them out. Put on a paper towel to drain.

You can dip them in store bought salsa if you like, but i make my own this way.

Salsa
-----
2 tomatoes (Romas are best)
2 Serrano chiles
1 clove garlic
Salt

Broil the tomatoes and serrano chiles. Turn over once. Total broil time about 1/2 hour. The tomatoes and chiles will be burned on the outside which is part of the flavor. Don't peel the burnt parts off.

Put the garlic and salt in the blender (or food processor) When the tomato/chiles have cooled down a bit add them too. Turn the blender on and blend for a minute.

I serve potatoe tacos with black beans and spanish rice on the side.

Hello - catching up on today's goings on and some from yesterday.

When did we learn that Stern left the hospital a second time?

[fatima]

Well if we are headed for the smoky back room I want my prize for 10,000.:)

[Toespi]

I have looked high and low for that recipe this afternoon. I e-mailed my amigo and she is going to send it, then I will post.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Welcome! Your additions will be appreciated.

Most of them probably do have penny slots. BUT to play all lines usually 100 or 200 it would cost you $1.00 or $2.00 a pull (push of the button) to play a minimum amount if you played all lines. Penny and Nickle slots have become a big money maker for the casinos.

Wow, I guess it has been a long time since I was in Vegas. Someone told me years ago to play the max amount on the slots, so I'm guessing that is what you're referring to.

My main source of fun has always been people watching and the cheap food. I might play a couple of hands of Blackjack. It all depends how I feel.

Anna Nicole Smith back in court over oilman's fortune

By RON NISSIMOV
Staff

A Harris County judge will be asked today to halt a bankruptcy court proceeding in California that could make 1993 "Playmate of the Year" Anna Nicole Smith one of the richest women in America.

Smith, the former Guess? jeans model who says in court papers she was "a poor but beautiful girl . . . with scarcely two pennies to rub together" when she met Houston oilman J. Howard Marshall II in 1991, claims she is entitled to one-half of his estimated $1 billion fortune as a result of their 14-month marriage.

But when Marshall died in 1995 at age 90, his purported 1992 will left everything to the youngest of his two sons, E. Pierce Marshall, 60, of Dallas, who had taken over the family business.

Marshall's eldest son, J. Howard Marshall III, 63, who owns a Los Angeles electronics company, was allegedly disinherited in 1980 over a family business dispute.

Smith and the eldest son claimed they were owed half of the estate and that E. Pierce Marshall fraudulently transferred all the wealth to himself. They sued in Harris County probate court, and Smith made the same claims in a Los Angeles federal bankruptcy court after filing for bankruptcy protection there in 1996.

In May, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Samuel Bufford sanctioned E. Pierce Marshall for allegedly destroying evidence and not showing up for depositions.

The judge stipulated that Smith is entitled to what she is seeking, an estimated $500 million. E. Pierce Marshall's attorneys have denied doing anything warranting such severe sanctions.

A trial is scheduled to start Wednesday in Bufford's court to finalize his orders and hear other matters related to the bankruptcy petition. Last week, attorneys for J. Howard Marshall III asked to intervene in the bankruptcy case to protect their client's interests.

E. Pierce Marshall's attorneys believe only Harris County has jurisdiction over the will because probate petitions were filed here first. Last week, the attorneys filed a motion asking Harris County Probate Judge Mike Wood to delay the bankruptcy proceeding until after the matter is resolved here.

Wood, who has scheduled a Jan. 24 trial to probate the will, is scheduled to hold an emergency hearing today on the motion.

"She's trying to get a bankruptcy judge to give her what she knows a Harris County jury will never give her," said Rusty Hardin, one of the several attorneys representing E. Pierce Marshall.

Attorneys for Smith and J. Howard Marshall III could not be reached for comment.

In her court papers, the buxom blonde from Mexia says that soon after Marshall first laid eyes on her while she was working as a 19-year-old topless dancer at Rick's Cabaret, she became his "reason for living." She says that shortly before they met, Marshall, 86 at the time, "had lost any real interest in his life and fell into a depression punctuated by alcoholism" because his longtime younger mistress, Jewell DiAnne "Lady" Walker, died of complications from plastic surgery.

Smith said Marshall - a Yale Law School graduate who was a high-ranking oil regulator under President Franklin D. Roosevelt and then a prominent oil executive and entrepreneur - promised her half his estate if she would marry him, which she did in 1994.

Smith, whose legal name is Vickie Lynn Marshall, filed for bankruptcy protection after Marshall's death because of mounting bills and what her lawyers called "questionable lawsuits," including an $860,000 default judgment given to a former maid who claimed Smith had sexually assaulted her in a Las Vegas hotel room in 1993.

The former model was also seeking protection from a lawsuit filed by E. Pierce Marshall, who sued Smith and two of her attorneys in 1995 for libel over comments made to the media, including the Houston Chronicle.

E. Pierce Marshall intervened in Smith's bankruptcy filing in Los Angeles to try to protect his interest in the libel suit, and Smith countersued him by alleging estate fraud.

(In 1998, a Dallas state district court jury ordered Smith's former attorney Diana Marshall and her Houston law firm to pay E. Pierce Marshall $8.5 million, but the suit was settled later for $804,000. The lawyer is not related to the oil family. A suit against another Smith attorney, Suzanne Kornblit of Houston, was settled for a confidential amount in 1997.)

According to documents filed by E. Pierce Marshall's attorneys last week in Harris County, U.S. District Judge William D. Keller of Los Angeles said in October 1998 that "this lawsuit is a Texas lawsuit" and it should be tried in Houston.

But after Bufford gave Keller a "secret internal document not available to the parties," Keller refused to remove the estate dispute out of Bufford's bankruptcy court, E. Pierce Marshall's attorneys said.

"The bankruptcy (judge's) apparent plan is to ignore the limits on his jurisdiction and to race to . . . adjudicate Vickie's claims to the probate estate," according to E. Pierce Marshall's legal filings.

Much of Marshall's wealth was tied up in stock of Koch Industries, an oil pipeline and mineral conglomerate based in Wichita, Kan., that is the country's second-largest privately held firm.

A 1980 squabble among the four sons of Fred Koch, the founder of Koch Industries, led to the rift between Marshall and his eldest son.

Bill Koch headed a dissident group who wanted the company to go public. The dissidents were able to garner 48 percent of the Koch voting stock, and Bill Koch knew that the Marshall brothers each had 4 percent of the voting stock.

Bill Koch needed only to persuade one of the brothers to join the dissidents to get the company to go public, a move he knew J. Howard Marshall II would vehemently oppose. E. Pierce Marshall declined to join the dissidents, but his older brother agreed to do so.

J. Howard Marshall II got wind of the deal and bought his son's voting stock for $8 million to thwart the effort. Attorneys for E. Pierce Marshall have said that the father never forgave his son for betraying him and disinherited him.

J. Howard Marshall III said he agreed to the sale only because his father threatened to disinherit him if he did not cooperate, and he promised to will his son one-half of the estate if he did cooperate. He said he was offered $24 million for the stock, and it would have made no sense to sell at $8 million without the assurance of an inheritance.

E. Pierce Marshall's attorneys said the eldest son accepted the $8 million because he needed it for his electronics company. They have introduced into evidence a letter that J. Howard Marshall III wrote to his mother in 1992, saying he "decided to live with the consequences" of the "threat of disinheritance."

A trial over the two brothers' estate claims began in July 1998, but former Harris County Probate Judge Jim Scanlan ordered a mistrial after two weeks because he was unhappy with lawyers' courtroom statements.
