Toast 14,793 Posted October 17, 2014 The actress Misty Upham who was in the film August Osage County has committed suicide at age 32 http://deadline.com/...-police-853408/ I don't see it confirmed as suicide in that report. Found at the bottom of a ravine, it says. Just as likely to be an accident. ETA - BBC obit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 9,001 Posted October 21, 2014 Chinese dissident, and the alleged orchestrator of the Tienanmen Square protests, Chen Ziming died earlier today. Will be a unique hit for me on the DDP if the obit comes through. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Magere Hein 1,397 Posted October 22, 2014 Death of Nelson Bunker-Hunt, one of a pair of brothers who tried to corner the world market for silver and ended up losing $1 billion when the plan went to shit, made the morning headlines on the BBC today. I remember that. In that time, as an amateur photographer, I bought film and print paper, which contain some silver, in quantity. Manufacturers increased their prices almost weekly. After Silver Thursday they didn't reduce them to pre-swindle level, of course. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
