The child was killed but wasn't murdered; the kidnapper dropped the child while descending that ridiculous ladder and the child's head struck a corner of the concrete foundation, killing it.
And, yes, that was General Schwarzkopf's (Desert Storm) father.

That's Messy Nessy, MissC.

Forget all this - use The Engineer's Method:
Get Igloo or equal ice chest large enough to hold the turkey.Place frozen turkey in ice chest and add cool tap water until the turkey floats.Close ice chest, store indoors in cool location.Turn turkey over after 6 hours.Turkey will be safely defrosted and ready to dress for oven in 12 hours or less. To have ready for Thanksgiving dinner, begin at 6pm the day before and it will be ready to go by early the next morning, allowing plenty of time to dress and roast.

What, no miscellania?
BTW, what is the highest-scoring word ever seen in Scrabble? Not very common but it is easily understood.

The bomb was being defused; it diffused only after exploding.

I always heard that turkey could help one sleep.

Watch 'The Bad Seed' from 1956 on YouTube. Some people are just born evil.

One of history's premier mysteries, this just may be a classic case of not being able to see the forest for all the trees. I read this book, which makes a strong case for Mallory and Irvine never reaching the summit, and then saw this video, which makes an even more convincing case that they did. The problem with the book is that it assumes that Mallory and Irvine must have attempted the daunting Second Step, and thus failed, whereas the video shows there was an alternate route that bypassed the Second Step. I lean toward the video and believe that Mallory and Irvine did reach the summit, but, as is still the case with the majority of deaths on Everest, they were killed during the descent. If, as the video states, they summitted at around 4 pm, that was far too late to make it back to the high camp safely (today 1 pm is the time by which summitters must begin their descent). It is natural that Mallory would not have the camera, as surely Irvine would have taken his picture at the summit, as Tenzing Norgay did with Edmund Hilary. And the photograph of Mallory's wife, which he had promised to leave at the summit, was not found on Mallory's remains. However, Mallory was notoriously absent-minded (he had forgotten his own camera and had to borrow the one that is still missing), so it is possible that he had simply forgotten to bring the photograph. Anyway, of all the many Mallory/Irvine videos on YouTube, I found this one to be the most informative as to what may actually have happened to them.

That's Messy Nessy, Miss C. Gotta rein in that spellcheck.
According to my father, who used to manage men's clothing stores from 1946-1972, what killed men's hats was JFK simply refusing to wear one circa 1961. Just like Clark Gable not wearing an undershirt in the 1934 film It Happened One Night killed the sales of men's undershirts. See https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0025316/trivia?ref_=tt_trv_trv.

Great Heavens. Speaking as a former chemical engineer who designed potable water systems, I marvel that this was a topic for a post on this site. Industrially, chlorine gas, chlorine bleach, calcium hypochlorite, ozone, and hydrogen peroxide are all used to disinfect water intended for drinking. Municipal water systems are typically chlorinated by injection of chlorine gas, due to its economy. Preppers such as myself know all about use of household bleach for purifying drinking water, and I have a supply of calcium hypochlorite granules and pool shock to use as backup. For those to whom this is all new, I recommend these links:

This was an awful film. Disney's obsession with SJW issues has now permeated even what should have been a better sequel with Elsa finding romance. I didn't stay for the credits - did George Lucas write the screenplay?

I saw this and was going to send it to you days ago but then decided that it would be too risqué for a family site.
Now that I know better, I won't be making that mistake again.

I thought this was a terrible film. No wonder Iger resigned.
