Tangerine is Right in Style

5redherrings — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 17:06:40 +0000

In case you haven’t heart yet, Tangerine Tango was selected as the color of 2012 by The Pantone Group. They have been standardizing color palettes for over 45 years. Their tangerine is spicier than the usual tangerine color but is a great color to pop a decorating scheme. You’ll be able to snap up lots of goodies in our town’s signature color and be in style at the same time.

Newt Gingrich

Tangerine Blog personally can’t stand the thought of polarizing force Newt Gingrich as president but the news is the news. He’s coming to Mount Dora Thursday. Hey, a hit on the page is a hit on the page. Apologies.

Let’s Get Michelle Parker home for her birthday

5redherrings — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 02:11:34 +0000

I met Michelle Parker’s father and aunt today simply by happenstance. We had a conversation about something I don’t recall now because it no longer seems important. Then he simply said “I’m Michelle Parker’s father.” I told him I’d noticed his shirt emblazoned with her “Michelle Parker is Missing” flyer on his tee-shirt.

She has been missing since November 17, 2011 after dropping off her twins at their father’s home. On the day of her disappearance, a previously recorded episode of “The People’s Court” aired on television.

We discussed the continuing the search for Michelle. He told me that her birthday is next Friday, January 20, 2012. The family is planning a birthday party for her at the Ale House in Orlando. Please, if you see anything suspicious, call the police.

Her family needs her home.

Casey Says Caylee Conceived After Rape

5redherrings — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 01:00:08 +0000

According to the HLN website, Casey Anthony said that Caylee was conceived as a result of a rape. This article also has links to the full deposition documents.

Remember the bombshell allegations Jose Baez dropped in his opening statement at Casey Anthony’s trial? In a moment that stunned the courtroom, he claimed that her daughter Caylee drowned in the family pool and that Casey was sexually abused by her father, George Anthony, as a child.

No evidence was presented at the trial to support his claims and George Anthony directly denied them on the witness stand, but newly unsealed court documents may shed some light on where the allegations first surfaced.

On Tuesday, Judge Belvin Perry unsealed transcripts of two depositions conducted by psychologists prior to Anthony’s 2011 trial for daughter Caylee’s murder. Dr. Jeffrey Danziger and Dr. William Weitz had been asked by Anthony’s defense team to evaluate her, but they were later removed from the witness list by the defense.

Florida Lakes Symphony Orchestra to perform in Mount Dora

5redherrings — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 00:28:59 +0000

Tangerine Florida’s favorite writer, Jeff Titelius, has once again done a great job of sharing the upcoming Florida Lakes Symphony Orchestra’s performances this month. The first concert will take place on Thursday, January 12 at 7:30 p.m. in Mount Dora at St. Patrick’s Church on Old Highway 441. A second performance will take place on Friday, January 13 at 7:30 p.m. in Groveland at the South Lake High School on Silver Eagle Road. Tickets are $42 in advance and $45 at the door. More information including dates, times and ticket prices is available at the link highlighted below.

Florida Lakes Symphony Orchestra returns to Mount Dora in its third concert of Season Seven entitled “Waters of the World.” Once again, the unforgettable compositions by world-renowned Guy Saint-Clair will fill these hallowed halls and this time, with the ebb and flow of seafaring adventures! Music from Handel, Strauss, Mendelssohn, “Pirate’s of the Caribbean” and others, will evoke romantic images of idyllic streams, surging rivers and even turbulent seas, a musical score that will have you singing “Yo Ho” by the end of the program. Bringing Guy’s compositions to life is none other than the charismatic Michael J. Garasi whose musical direction is just as entertaining to watch as the orchestra itself. No need to worry about sea sickness on this fantasy cruise through “Waters of World.”
