"None of us are as strong as all of us"...Tarek "Dusk" Captan

DATE: Thursday september 6th. Case will be called between 8:30-10:30 am and may last a few hours. LOCATION: LA Superior Court, LAX at 11701 S. La Cienega Blvd., LA, 90045; Courtroom B. (See www.lasuperiorcourt.org/locations/lax for parking info. Suggest carpool.)  Everyone is welcome.

"SENTENCING OF DRUNK DRIVER... We know all of you have been waiting for news of this case, but the frustration has been that there was nothing to report. Every month, for over a year, postponement after postponement after postponement. FINALLY, the waiting is over! 25 y/o Timothy Charles Murchison, driving the night of 4/29/06 without a valid drivers license, without car insurance and with a blood alcohol of 0.21% (<0.08 is legal) was charged with DUI with bodily injury of Rosalinda Kooyman and vehicular manslaughter of Tarek Captan. He plead "no contest" to both counts after a plea bargain was struck without trial. Defense attorney, Richard Hutton, is the same attorney involved in the Paris Hilton case. Now the family is inviting EVERYONE to attend the sentencing. 

Everyone is welcome. We would like to see the courtroom full, the hallways full, and even the parking lots full of people demonstrating solidarity of all those lives that were touched by Dusk while he walked this earth. Wear his T-shirts, carry signs and banners, invite the media, etc. To all of you who wrote victim impact letters---THANK YOU---the judge has read the dozens and dozens that we sent to him. They will make a difference. And all of us in the courtroom will make a difference too because Tarek believed in the strength of unity..."

Tamal or Tamale? How to Correctly Pronounce the Singular Form of Tamales

The tamal vs. tamale debate has an almost emotional connection with people simply because it becomes a “how my family speaks the language vs. how it’s ‘supposed to be’ written” type of language conflict. In a culture like Mexico, where family always comes before anything, it makes sense that people will go with what feels familiar rather than what they are expected to say.

Ragusano is disappointed that the L.A. Times didn’t publicly disclose that there was an outbreak at their event. “Obviously they’re not going to print it in their paper,” Ragusano said. “But they‘re a newspaper and newspapers are supposed to share the news. This is how people usually find out about something like this,” she added. “It's ironic because it happened to them.”
