Thanks Kat.Kat @ Wed Jul 06, 2005 4:37 pm wrote:There is a message on my answering machine today, July 6th.
It is a Weather Report from Fall River, by Leonard Rebello:
"It is 10:15 in Fall River and this is a day that is 73,74 degrees And Humid.
If you move- you Sweat.
This is one of those days.
I just thought I would let you know."
--underlined is where he put emphasis.
Thanks Len for the weather report- eyewitness!
It looks at though she may have been quoting augusta's post? Which, when I quote it, doesn't seem to run together as augusta stated is a problem for her.Allen @ Tue Jul 12, 2005 4:03 pm wrote:Tina-Kate @ Sat Jul 02, 2005 1:41 am wrote:Here are some examples from the Trial.

Page 570 - Harrington: Q- In addition to heat I will ask you the direct question,--was it what was called close? A- Yes, sir, suffocating, you might say.

Page 692 - Mullaly: "Well, I know it was hot, that is all, very hot. You know it was a hot day."
Page 1112 - Hilliard: Q- What sort of a day was it with reference to heat on the 4th of August last? A- Very hot.
Page 1422 - Hymon Lubinsky: "It was a hot day."
Knowlton also refers repeatedly to the day being hot in his closing argument.
It could be considered, since so many policemen testified to it being hot, that it was stressed to disprove Lizzie being able to stand it in the barn. However, Lubinsky, one of the most prominent witnesses for the *Defense* also claimed Aug 4 was hot. So, why would latter day Bordenites *want* to discredit people who were actually *there*???
IT WORKED ! I did what you said Kat..and it was much easier than what I have been doing ! THANKS FOR HELPING !!!Kat @ Tue Jul 12, 2005 5:57 pm wrote:Well, at the top of each person's post there is a white box which says "Quote" next to a white box which says "Report."
I click on "Quote."
If it's a really long one- I will edit it after it's quoted- but I make sure to signify I have taken out part. It'd probably not a good idea to do that but it saves people from reading the whole thing all over again- as long as I say I have extracted this certain part. Because by doing it that way it will automatically include the person's name and date and time.
There's another way I use, which is a copy-paste (I think as you described) but then I add the [q] before it.
And then the [/q] after it. Then I put two dashes-- and say who is being quoted.

Whatever the older generation called it this is no proof, because the reference to closeness is to the air in the barn loft specifically. If your grandmother called it suffocating too when it was humid, in a barn loft...maybe..."The older generation called humidity closeness....in my opinion that is what these people meant..even my grandmother called it close..when the humdity was high."

If it was too hot for Lizzie to be in the barn loft, then she couldn't have spent 20-30 minutes in there, according to people who believe she was. If it was so hot why wasn't she sweating when Andrew's body was found?
Does it have to be hot in order for Bridget to get mad enough to kill Abby because she was feeling ill and Abby made her wash windows anyway? This is another reason some people wish to believe it was so hot.
Does it need to be so-hot so that Lizzie loses her temper? Or someone else loses theirs because they are affected by the heat (and humidity)?
What does the heat have to do with it, really?
I sit outside when it's hot. It was a study done in the United States, and it does include the entire United States. This study was done because the researchers also wanted to estimate what effect global warming may have on crime rates.Kat @ Wed Feb 01, 2006 11:26 pm wrote:It's going to be 81 tomorrow, here.
BTW: the stats for violent crime rising with each degree- is that in America or does it include the Southern Hemisphere, or the Equator areas? Do they have lots of violent crime, or is the rising heat only affecting peoples who are not used to it?
The study only concerns the United States so I wouldn't think it would imply anything about any other countries. However, you can do a quick check of the crime rates for other countries that you may have had in mind. Although looking at the crime rates alone wouldn't prove anything without some sort of study and formal research being done.Kat @ Thu Feb 02, 2006 5:46 pm wrote:But it is a Northern Hemisphere situation?
And maybe an Industrialized nation?
So it's not necessarily implying that normally hot countries are more crime-ridden, like lower-economical Equatorial places?
