Folks we got the email a couple of days ago but forgot to post the information.

The server that hosts our site is going down for upgrades tonight, March 7, 2010 at 11:01 PM CST and will be down until March 8, 2010 at 2:00 AM. CST

Now we all know how upgrades go but hopefully they are ready and will do it fast.

However until it comes back up there will be no Rose Speaks at all and no way to reach us by email. Many of you have our personal emails and if you need to reach someone email and we promise to get back to you.

Here is the U. S. enjoy the Oscars tonight and see you in the morning…

Ken, Rose and your mods/admins as always thanks for flying Rose Speaks.com

Ken and I would like to wish each of you a very Happy, safe and healthy New Year.

If you are going out tonight please be safe, we have had a lot of wrecks here during the holiday season so be safe.

Remember that Ken will be doing updates on both the blog and forums this weekend however neither of them will be down at the same time, his work will be on Saturday night, January 2.

We have asked that all of you think about what are the best cases we have covered this year. What are the saddest cases we have covered? What are the most interesting to you? What do you want to see in 2010 covered? You can list up to five cases if you remember that many.

For me it is for the best cases, a toss up, I am not sure if I would list the “best cases” as those who settled in a way I was pleased. So many of the people we have covered in 2009 have been heartbreaking. The most interesting one was the Howard K. Stern vs. Rita Cosby, there were so many publicly available depositions and filings in this case that for someone who loves legal papers this is the most interesting one.

The saddest cases we have covered would be the Casey Anthony case. The most frustrating one was the Roland Carnaby alleged CIA case. The federal court granted the motions for Summary Judgment so we will never learn what really happened in that wreck, why the computer went to the Secret Service, and of course this will continue to feed the conspiracy nuts. The death of John O’Quinn was another tragedy. I remember in 2007 I said that we were witnessing two titans in the legal field in the numerous Anna Nicole Smith cases and I predicted one would go on to be thought of as the top lawyer with the most recognizable name and one would retire. I was so wrong about that I still think of the people who loved this man, yes there were many, facing this first holiday season without their colleague and friend. This is followed by the Michael Jackson tragic death and the beginning of family members fighting to control his Estate. For some reason that always happens and it must be very heartbreaking for all three of Jackson’s children. The two most bizarre cases we followed in 2009 was the Lori Drew federal criminal case of violating the TOS of MySpace and of course we can’t leave out Michelle Bruan, the Hollywood Madam

For 2010, we will finish all things Anna Nicole Smith as we have always promised, although I have to admit I am really worn down on these cases and will be glad when the last one to wind up hopefully by the summer of 2010. We will cover the Casey and Caylee Anthony case in 2010, as I have said many times I do not like to cover missing or murdered children because it is heart wrenching to me. However as the documents become public in this case with three trials coming up in 2010, I feel this is a have to case to follow. I also think Michael Jackson’s death, indictments, trials and continued fighting over his Estate will be at the forefront of our coverage. Now that Roman Polanski’s appeal to drop his case in the California Appeals Court has been denied we will follow whether the U. S. is successful in expediting Polinski and if so we will cover that trial.

Please share the cases you feel were the best, most interesting and saddest in 2009. Share with us the cases you want us to cover in 2010. You can post your thoughts with us here on the blog or in the members’ only forums.

There have been so many personal tragedies for so many of you in 2009, we wish you healing and only the good memories of those of you who have lost someone remain in 2010. May each of you find peace in the New Year.

Be sure to participate in our MEMBERS ONLY FORUMS, get the most out of the site by learning your way around in the forums where you can safely discuss things you do not want to see copied and pasted on another site.

Have a Happy and Blessed New Year.
Ken and Rose Turner

Please note on the right hand side of the main page is a scrolling calendar. –>–>–>–>–>–>–>–>–>–>–>

This will always have the next thirty days of upcoming important dates on cases we are covering and is the final part of transferring from the old “main site” to the blog as the main site. Please remember that if you are a member of the forums there is a calendar link at the top right header of that page.

We have two scheduled maintenance this week on the blog software and on the contact us software. If you are a new reader here and have a tip for a case you want to give us then please use the contact us button at the top of each page. We want to hear from you and what you want. This leaves only the updated documents that are still not relinked, however with each article we do on each case we are putting up the downloads up to date on that case. We hope to have a document link at the top of the page as we catch up that will give you the ease of all cases you want papers too. If you want or need one of the papers that are not linked yet drop us an email and we will get that right out to you.

On the Anna Nicole Smith Estate vs. G. Ben Thompson, Ford Shelley etc. I am did not see any papers filed by some deadline for December 28. I tried to figure out if it was a Response by Susan M. Brown’s being added to the suit as well as Gina Shelley, Gaither B. Thompson II and his wife Melodie Thompson. It could be a Reply by the Estate due on a Response filed by one of the defendants in regards to the Motions for Contempt, Sanctions and Joiner of additional parties. Which ever it was it was not filed on time unless there is a delay on showing up on PACER.

December 29, 2009, G. Ben Thompson filed an Objection to his attorney Mr. Joyce’s Withdrawal as attorney of Record of Thompson in the federal case of the Estate of Anna Nicole Smith vs. G. Ben Thompson, Ford Shelley et al. I wonder if this is the reason that the Responses or Replies due on December 28 have not been filed?

On the Virgie Arthur vs. Howard K. Stern, TMZ, et. al. in the 80th District Court of Houston, signed an Order yesterday on December 28 giving the Plaintiff Leave (permission) to file the late documents in response to CBS Motion for Summary Judgment, and also giving CBS Request to supplemental their evidence for the Summary Judgment we should have a copy of this later today for your downloading pleasure. This Order appears to be no win or win for both Arthur and CBS, the new judge is allowing both of them to supplement their filings in reference to CBS Motion for Summary Judgment.

Tomorrow we will list the five cases we feel was the worse or the most bizarre, we would like to hear which ones you found that way. You can use the archive months found on the right hand side of the main pages for you to do a quick review to pick the five you want to list.

On December 31 we will list the five cases that we feel were the best of the cases or had something unusual happened during that case that changed the dynamics of that case. Again we would like for you to list your cases you thought was best of had something unusual that changed the dynamics.

I will have a short article up later today with links to some of the documents and some musings on who and who not are looking forward to television reality series or be part of a documentaries, it will surprise you we think.

Thanks for flying Rose Speaks.com and by the New Year the changes will be complete on what you will find an easier way to navigate easier.

Be sure to participate in our MEMBERS ONLY FORUMS, get the most out of the site by learning your way around in the forums where you can safely discuss things you do not want to see copied and pasted on another site.

Okay folks, the move is done. You can now type in www.rosespeaks.com and get to the blog. For those of you who have it bookmarked, te old addy (www.rosespeaks.com/rose-blog) will still work, it’ll just redirect you to the blog.

Update: The redirect is now working. You do not have to change your bookmarks if you do not want to. It should now redirect you from www.rosespeaks.com/rose-blog to www.rosespeaks.com .

There is also a new link at the top of the page on the right hand side that will take you to the Rose Speaks.com forums for members only.

If you are having a problem of the page not redirecting you then dump your cache and try again, Rose had to do that this morning not to get a 404 Error.

Now comes the long weekend of recoding the documents, we will try to do them in order of the cases we are following, (I. E. The Estate of Anna Nicole Smith vs. G. Ben Thompson and Ford Shelley). If you want a document that is not back up use the contact form and we will get it to you manually.

Ok folks the final big move to consolidate the site will begin at 10 PM CST as we merge the final data bases of www.rosespeaks.com and www.rosespeaks.com/rose-blog.

The forums for members only will remain open and any updates of tonight’s work will be posted there as tonight goes along.

Also we have an old friend coming in to help with the site, she will be my editor LOL, something I am sure all of you will love and she will be doing a lot behind the scenes with the server that is what keeps the site running smoothly.

She will be able to be reached at shani @ rosespeaks.com and can help with anything about the blog after she has time to browse through the controls, any problems you have logging in and if Heath needs some help will be the U. S. version of that but we will work that out once the site is merged.

The email programs will be up so if you have any problems before we return just email webmaster @ rose speaks.com or Rose @ rosespeaks.com and of course take the spaces out.

Thanks for flying Rose Speaks.com and we hope this if the final last major jolt in the move.

Ken and Rose Turner and all of your moderators and admins

UPDATE:The move has been moved back to tomorrow (Wednesday) night at 10pm CST.

We are staying open after doing some negotiating with what we are safe to write about without fear of being sued, but ever mindful now that lawsuits are hanging above our heads to come crashing down without notice of what was done wrong.

Here are the changes you will see happening to the site:

THE MAIN PART OF THE SITE IS CLOSED FOR GOOD. IT WILL STILL TAKE A FEW DAYS TO COMPLETE THE OVERHAUL OF THE SITE, THE DOCUMENTS IS THE MOST TIME CONSUMING SO ALL WE CAN TELL YOU IS IT WILL BE COMPLETE AND ANNOUNCED ONE DAY THIS WEEK. THE BLOG URL WILL TRANSFER YOU AUTOMATICALLY TO THE NEW BLOG.

THERE ARE NO PUBLIC FORUMS here on Rose Speaks.com the forums URL is now http://www.rosespeaks.com/forums and that is for members only and you must sign up for them. You all wanted a safe place to just discuss life and what was going on without prying eyes and the always copy and pasting of comments on the blog, so that is now up and running for you. Diamond Girl will be totally in charge of the forums, and the rest of us will be here for her to help the approval and checking out who applies to join to take the pressure off of her during this transition.

The main site of http://www.rosespeaks.com will become the blog. There will be a redirect page on http://www.rosespeaks.com/rose-blog to redirect you to the new location of the blog.

We have a calendar on the forums of which it has now been updated to the dates for upcoming deadlines. There will be a calendar on the blog for the public and a way to download the documents straight from the blog and a archive section for doucments if you want them in the future by case and date. If there is an old case document you want that is not listed just ask and we will make it available.

Tonight we will be upgrading of the software is now complete on both the blog and forums.

We promise to make this with as little confusion as possible. Please remember to use the “Contact Us” in the header of the blog if you want to volunteer or if you have a question.

ON A SAD NOTE ROXANNE HAS ANOTHER TWO DEATHS TO HANDLE AND BE THERE FOR THE FAMILIES AND OTHER FRIENDS

Many of you had an outpouring of love for our Roxanne when she buried her best friend last month on November 3. Last night Mark’s maternal grandmother died from a short and very aggressive cancer that the family only learned about the day after Mark’s funeral. Roxanne asked that you not email her (except of course to extend your condolences and love for her); she will not be able to admin/mod solve problems for the members here as she will only be checking emails about once a day for this week.

We know all of you extend your deepest sympathy to Roxanne and Mark’s mother at this horrible time for this woman to work through the death of her son, and only child, and now the death of her mother one month later. We have of course asked Roxanne to extend our condolences to Mark’s mother at this most difficult time for her.

More news on Roxanne, she had yet another friend die last night from a drug overdose, Nathan, they do not know yet if it was suicide or an accidental overdose and yes he was close to Roxanne, Roxanne’s son (a mentor to him), and Mark the friend they both lost just about a month ago… Roxanne feels like crawling under the bed for the month of December. She is so sweet and always there for her friends, it is heart breaking to hear her as she tries to sort out who needs her the most and how to support her friends and the families… She really needs some special thoughts and prayers through all of this..

LET’S SEE HOW THIS WORKS, LATEST FILINGS IN S. C. FEDERAL COURT ON THE ESTATE OF ANNA NICOLE SMITH VS. G. BEN THOMPSON, FORD SHELLEY ET. AL.

December 7, 2009 Joint Consent Order to postpone filings by one day, now due December 8, 2009.

Ken and Rose Turner and all of your moderators and admins all stepping forward to take on more work so Roxanne does not have to feel guilty about anything on the site.

The main site is back open, with a new look to it. Still all the old stuff…document dl’s and such…but with a new look. Take a look and tell us what you think.

We are still working out some small tweaks and such, so please bear with us as we go along. One such, the forum button at the top of the page does not go to the forums. For now, there is a link under that that if you click it, will take you to the public forums. Here is the link also if you need it, www.rosespeaks.com/public-forums . Just copy/paste it to your browser. You can also click HERE to go there.

We all hope you enjoy the new look.
