Did "Lady Bluebeard" fake her death a century ago?

The Associated Press

http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2004377870_bluebeard28.html

1 Belle Gunness, thought to died in 1908, is susppected to killed therty three people. She killed both of her husbands and all of her children. Gunness died in the fire at age 48, along with her three children and another woman who has not been identified.
When Belle Gunness was 21 years old, she arrived in Chicago from Norway in 1881, and three years later she got married. But her husband died. After he gone, Belle Gunness moved to LaPorte then she met Peter Gunness. moreover, they got married in April 1902.But he died also later that year cause a sausage grinder and jar of hot water fell on him. family members believed that the husbands were killed; it was suspicious. Both case she got thousands in insurance money.
After that she continuously killed a lot of people to get money. However, a man who is Belle Gunnesss lover and work for her fire her house. Later he admited of arson but he acquitted of murder. After fire, her dentures were found in the fire debris then everyone belived the her death. But people believe that she pretended to plant the dentures; in fact when the dentures were found, they were intct and not burned.

2 I think she is still living somewhere becouse bad perason can be alive long time like a Zodiac,and I believe her dentures are fake! I dont think she died already. I hope she will cought and make up for her crim even she is old now.
When I read this article, I felt so unhappy and surprised. How can she killed 33people? She is just like a typical stupid , she lost her moral principles form greed.
And must surprising point is she killed her chiledren and her husbands; I totally cant understand at all. Money is important and helpful, but I believe the family is more important than money.
I cant underastand her thinking , I dont need to understand anyway.

Book club report4

Title of book- The Pearl
pages in the book-90
Now i m on page 75
i understand about 80%what I read

1. My best character in my book is Docter. He is wealthier than the peasants, and he hates them; in fact, when Coyotito got poison from scopion
, Kino and Juana wanted to treat him without money. When Kino and Juana brought Coyotito to the doctor to heal the scorpion sting, he refused them because they dont have money. After that Docter heard that Kino found the Pearl of the World, he came to them to treat Coyotito.Moreover, He pretended not to know that Kino had found a great pearl . Oneday, stranger hit Kino to get the pearl, but stranger couldnt becouse Kino already moved it another place. Altough i cant know true thing yet, I suspect that stranger might be Docter!!! I think he is horrible person in this book.

L.A. Lakers 128, Denver 114 | Gasol reaches new heights

By John Nadel

1 Los Angels Lakers Vs DenverNugetts 128-114.
Pau Gasol who belongs to the Los Angeles Lakers .He is 27 years old and his position is foward/center. He established therty six points and eight assistants ,and he also had sixteen rebounds and three blocks then he contributioned to his teams winning.
He felt amazing and great about this game ; moreover, Kobe Bryant who also Lakerss player said "Gasols therty two point in the final eight minuts to keep Los Angels safley ahead. and Gorge Karol who is denver Nagettss coach said he was glad game two isnt until Wendsday night at staples center, giving a chance to adjust. Allen Iverson who is one of the Naggets player said " We just broke down in the third quater"

2 I think he is amazing player as you know he got alot of point from Denver Nagetts. Moreover, I was surprised at his latent ability becouse i think basketball is advantageous for African American. However, He can play very well in the game; in fact I watched his movie from YOUTUBE; it is wonderful and acrobatics. Now He is just twoenty seven years old,so i think we can expect his good play, and we can see it also.

1. Juna believes that the pearl is cursed, so she asks Kino to throw it. however, he doesnt want to because he believes it is last chace for him, only she still want to throw it. Therefor she decides to ease it by herself.

2. I chose this because I think they have cooperated and help each other, but there is great discrepancy between their opinions now. moreover, I feel it is going to act as trigger for bigg problem.

Now Kino and Juna got up then Kino went to outside ,and Juna started to cook breakfast. When they were eating breakfast,they had spoken once,but there is not need for speech if it is only a habit anyway. Kino sighed with satisfaction and that was conversation. After that they went to look at the baby. Kinos breath whistled in his nostrils and he opened his mouthto stop it, there was a scorpion on the rope toward the box. He tried to catch it , but it fell down t. then they heard babys yelling with pain from his box . Juna said "go to get the doctor" but neighber said "he would not come" Therefore, they decided to go to doctor.

I have been here for a year already, and I live on capitolhill with my brother now.When I just came here, I was in ESL level 1; moreover, my eglish skill was so terrible. I didnt know everything such as: what, where, when,who, which,and how, and although I want to ask something ,I couldnt make a question sentence. Therefore, I didnt have skill to speak English; I didnt have an enough courage becouse You know I m coward. Ok ok lets talk about my major! my major is........................... I havent dicided it actually bacouse I think I should concentrate for English at first. So I have never thought about my major. But when I will not worry about my English, I can step up to the next stage that is my major.Now i cant decide it. In the futer, I plan to go to collage here when I finish ESL becouse I dont want to go back Japan as long as I can. I had lived there for 18 years, but I feel uncomfortable when I stay there.In fact, when I went back Japan for 4months ago, I was insomniac.I couldnt be relxed there.Maybe american atomospher is matcher than japanese for me.Now i m studing English, so I want to use it for living here becouse as you know I dont want to go back Japan!!!!
