Police say drug impaired driver caused fatal crash in Acadia
Previous offenses brought suspect little jail time
Crowley — A man who is accused of killing a Church Point woman Christmas night while driving under the influence has a long history of criminal drug use and driving while impaired in Acadia Parish, court documents show.
But the driver, Jody Bourque, 48, of Branch, has spent little time in jail, those court records show.
State Police said Thursday he was booked for fourth-offense DWI as a result of Wednesday's fatal accident, which cost the life of Germaine Garrick, 35, of Church Point.
Trooper 1st Class Stephen Hammons said Bourque was on drugs and driving his Dodge pickup on La. 35 when he crossed the center line shortly before 10 p.m. and collided head-on with a car being driven by Garrick.
Hammons said Garrick, who was not wearing a seat belt, was pronounced dead at the scene by the Acadia Parish Coroner's Office.
The crash just north of Rayne also hurt two passengers in Garrick's Oldsmobile, police said.
Mary Ann Garrick, 53, who was not wearing a seat belt, was taken to an area hospital with severe injuries. Rita Garrick, 39, was wearing seat restraints and received minor injuries.
Bourque was booked into the Acadia Parish Jail on a count of vehicular homicide, fourth-offense DWI, disabling an ignition interlock device, driving left of center, reckless operation of a vehicle and two counts of vehicular negligent injury.
Bourque faces up to 30 years in prison for the vehicular homicide count alone, Hammons said.
Hammons also said investigators believe Bourque was not impaired by alcohol, despite the DWI booking.
"We suspect him of being impaired on narcotics," Hammons said.
Bourque, who stands 5 feet, 7 inches tall, weighs 150 pounds with brown hair and green eyes, has DWIs going back to at least 1995, according to Acadia Parish criminal court documents, where he also has felony drug crimes and assaults on his record.
Despite numerous arrests in cases that include allegations of drug abuse and distribution, assault, battery and other crimes, Bourque has spent little time in jail, records show.
In March 1995 Bourque was charged with his first DWI, and in April 2002 was charged again for suspected driving while intoxicated, according to the Acadia Parish Clerk of Court's Office.
In June 2001 he was charged with second-degree battery; in 2003 he was charged with aggravated assault; in 2004 he was charged with resisting arrest and disturbing the peace by intoxication. All those charges were dismissed, records show.
In May 2003, he faced charges of possession of cocaine and Oxycodone, and possession with intent to distribute Alprazolam (Xanax) and marijuana but later made a plea agreement in which he pleaded guilty to one count of possession of marijuana while prosecutors dropped the other charges.
Bourque received a suspended six-month prison sentence and one year of probation, records show.
Bourque was arrested three times in three consecutive months in 2007 for drug violations, records show. The arrests were for distribution of hydrocodone in March, distribution of hydrocodone in April and distribution of cocaine in May.
He later agreed to a plea deal where he pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of possession of drug paraphernalia and prosecutors dropped the three more serious charges. He received a suspended sentence of six months in jail and one year of probation.
In 2009, following a vehicle accident, Bourque was charged with a second-offense DWI, careless operation of a vehicle and two counts of negligent vehicular injury.
In another plea deal, the DWI charge was amended from second offense to first offense, for which Bourque again received a suspended six-month sentence.
Bourque served six months in jail for the negligent injury charges.
It was unclear Thursday if Bourque had been charged and jailed in other parishes.
Family members of Garrick said Thursday that they did not want to speak about her death.
According to Garrick's Facebook page, she worked at Church Point Elementary School, liked the music of Alicia Keys and was a New Orleans Saints fan.

When you don't address negativity in the workplace, it usually grows and grows.
If you manage an administrative team, try these five steps to contain the mood:
Step 1: Recognize the fact that a problem exists. This can be more difficult than you think: Many managers focus so hard on good behavior that they fail to notice the bad vibes around them.
Step 2: Address the causes. They might be an employee's personal problems, work stress or a lack of advancement opportunities. You need to pinpoint the problems before you can correct them.
Step 3: Encourage the person to accept responsibility for the negativism. It is not your fault. Point out that even though the person has reasons for negative feelings, it is inappropriate to try to infect others with his or her viewpoint.
Step 4: Help the individual replace negative behaviors with positive ones. For example, teaming the person with a different set of workers may address his or her specific concerns.
Step 5: Work hard to instill positive attitudes in the people around the negativist. Infecting them with the "positivity bug" is the final step toward containing negativism.

Matt Enger: Exploding Sky
Jul 10 - Aug 19, 2012
Invitation Graphic
View :
Past Exhibitions
Opening Reception
Thursday, July 19, 6-9 p.m.
"Exploding Sky"
will feature
Matt Enger's
limited edition screen printed street wear, large inspiration drawings, sculpture and vintage American firearms. "Exploding Sky" is the name of the studio founded in the early 90s by twin brother artists Matt and the late Mark Enger on New Yorks lower east side. The Enger brothers began making silk screen paintings and street wear that reflected their knowledge and passion for American and Native American history and traditions, Pop Art, the 1960s, motorcycles, and their love of the chaos and freedom that has always been New York. The brothers' street wear was quickly adopted by the local musicians, including The Boredoms, Metallica, Lubricated Goat and others. Matt and Mark collaborated through silk-screen printing with many artists and designers as well. (Kiki Smith, Donald Baechler, Catherine Malandrino, Robert Rauschenberg, Spooky, and others.) In the current showing at the Christopher Henry Gallery, 127 Elizabeth Street, New York, Matt has created a futuristic day-glo plastic hanging room divider consisting of 72 one foot square panels featuring several views of a 900 year old Anasazi Indian Skull. The inspiration drawings are large ink paintings on paper of motorcycles, Indians, Civil War cavalry, fashion models, street scenes, landscapes and his unique vision of Modern Americana. Two couch paintings in the upstairs lounge and an array of vintage Historic American firearms round out Matt's vision of an iconized contemporary American retail outlet.

- Created 12/30/13 by Keya Chatterjee
I love stretch goals, so my husband is usually braced for my New Year's resolutions. There was the time I vowed to buy nothing new for a year. There was my vetoed plan to save all our trash for a year in the basement, as an incentive to only bring things home that could be recycled (my husband is such a party pooper, right?). And who didn't love the year with no heat or air conditioning? (Confession: I minded this more than my husband). My most important New Year's resolution came when I was pregnant and resolved to continue to decrease our carbon footprint even as... read more

Bring it back!!

Comments about DHC Rose Toner:
The rose water ingredient is a fabulous botanical that does wonders for my skin. I have even used home-made toner using rose water, but would much prefer to purchase from DHC. Toner smells fantastic and makes skin feel supple and clean. I am a long-term loyal customer of DHC. Please bring back the Rose Toner!!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Wonderful toner!
By Jennifer R.
from Greenville, SC
See all my reviews
I love this rose toner! I'm disappointed that they're discontinuing this product. I use it at night after cleansing my face. It gets rid of whatever cleansing does not. It doesn't leave my face feeling tight like other toners can. And the rose scent is just amazing.
LOVE this stuff!
By emilee89
from San Francisco, CA
I can't beleive DHC is discontinuing this! This stuff is so good. Leaves my skin feeling fresh and clean. It is very light and it smells great. It keeps my extra oil away through out the day. I already brought 4 bottles, but I don't know what to do after once its all gone. I hope DHC brings this back!
Gentle Toner
By Melly
from San Diego, CA
I feel like this is a quality product with all the ingredients it includes, plus it feels nice and I think it helps to maintain my skin's balance. However, I have to say that a similar product[...] can be found. The price is less expensive, and I find the smell is more pleasant compared to DHC's version. Due to these 2 points I think this will be the last time I order this item from DHC.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Love the rose toner!
By Edie
from East Calais, VT
I use the rose toner after my morning shower every day. It feels good when I apply it, and also smells good! There is never a sticky feeling after application. My only objection is that you say you are not going to carry it anymore. I've purchased two extra bottles, but don't know what I'm going to do after they are gone! Please change your mind and continue to carry it!
I would buy this product again

Great smell ! ! !
By Echo
from Houston, TX
The smell is great but it's far from a perfect toner.Q10 toner is much better.
By RobinD
from Grand Rapids, MI
I love this toner! It smells amazing, and it calms down my overactive and acne-prone skin. I use it morning and night; I wish it wasn't being discontinued!
wonderful and keep several at home
By mlb
from Greenacres, Fl
smells like a June day in a rose garden
It actually works
By ne_katja_girl
from Omaha, Nebraska
I cannot believe how great this toner really is. I tried the Acne toner, but I found this toner did not dry my face out as much. As my birth control pills help control my acne, I am able to use this daily and I don't feel my face dries out. The toner has helped calmed my extremely red cheeks so that I can put on makeup without feeling like I have to cover up the splotches. The smell is great and I sometimes forego wearing perfume and still get comments about the wonderful rose smell. I am really sad DHC is discontinuing this product as I don't know if there is a comparable product.

Hugs and strength to all...
Happy Birthday Ghost! Do something super special for YOU today! I tell ya buying that huge bouquet of flowers for Valentine's for myself was awesome, I plan to do that every bday, anniversary, etc for MYSELF.
((((WS)))) May I offer a suggestion? Have you told your WH you have the option to annul? I would, and I would tell him I am seriously considering it, especially since he is not serious about his recovery and he is unwilling to put your marriage over the addiction. That might have some affect on him, and honestly he needs to know the potential consequences of his actions.
Something I often have regrets and second thoughts about after DDay was that I did not file, to show I was serious about leaving without significant change. I did not file because when I looked into it, I was entitled to very little and could not leave the state with my kids. I instead chose to go the post nup route to get the financial security and custody arrangement I needed. But in doing that, I sacrificed that option to show how serious I was about recovery. I think he would have jumped a whole lot faster and higher had I done that. But who knows, maybe it would have had no effect.
I have lots to share at a later time. My therapist is really tied into the whole SA spouse therapy industry and has access to a lot of things us normal people done, LOL. She has told me about a lot of changes in the field, and in books that are the gold standard for our treatment, etc and it's so very liberating. I can't wait to have time to do share this with you. But not this morning, I am running late.
[This message edited by hathnofury at 8:23 AM, February 28th (Tuesday)]
Sometimes I almost feel like I don't belong in the regular posting threads as well as this one, even though my WH is SA for 30 yrs and he was unfaithful our whole marriage. My SAH is choosing to work on recovery. He is not acting out (for now and for last 4 mos.thanx to poly-g) So I should be grateful and healing and in super-R for our M, right? sigh, not that simple.
Right after disclosure I was so relieved to know the whole truth however painful. I followed CSATs care plan. Braced myself for triggers, but I didn't get my first one for 2 months- and then they kept coming, out of nowhere- big and bad.
SAH tells me to tell him when I am experiencing one and he listens for a bit-BUT...each one ends in a big fight because he has to say something so hurtful and crappy and I blow my lid. He can't see how harmful his reactions are until the next day and then tells me that my triggers are hard for him too.
This weekend one of his former sex partners from long ago emailed him to wish happy bd. SAH has had secret communication w/her our entire marriage (more like EA, not PA). So after disclosure in Oct., we blocked both her addys. So she cooks up a new one, he truthfully offers me this info on his own (which is so good, I know), but I am angry, frustrated and hurt that he has had more chit chat w/her in our marriage than we have had sex in our marriage. My SAH thinks that because he volunteered the truth, that I should not get upset. I told him I am upset at her and the situation. He told me when I was calling her some choice words that "this is what I get for telling the truth?" I lost it and went into coo-coo land-seriously i cant even remember what all I said. He did not contact her- but dammit this is some of residue from his addiction that just seems to slap me daily. Next day he told me that he thinks I have trouble validating him...I lost it again. I am in IC and group, so I have support.
I am tired and we just agreed to an in home separation-not sure if I can heal w/him in my life and it grieves me. Man, I feel crazy today.
I am in a fog again today. It hurts so much that I just get overwhelmed and shut down altogether. Just can't feel anything. Just existing, a shell of a person going through the motions.
Talked with WS for a long time last night. Too long really. 3 hours by the time I hung up the phone around 1am.
WS apologized for the things he had said. Said he is having a hard time. Says he feels jealous and resentful that he cannot lead a "normal" life - that he cannot handle having access to internet, smartphones, etc. without getting into trouble. Says that it is not my fault. Says it is just something that he is angry about in general...angry at himself, angry at God, angry at the addiction.
Said he does not want to go back to active addict life. Disclosed more to me about how he used to live, how he used to hide things, the frequency of such deception. Almost seemed to be bragging about it in a way. Said things like, "you really didn't notice I never left my phone around?" "You really never noticed when I was touching myself while laying in bed with you?"
I don't know.
He has moved "lying/deception" to his list of inner circle behaviors - his list of bottom lines. I guess before it was a middle circle behavior - something that was not "breaking" his sobriety but leading into it...
He says lying/hiding is a big part of his addiction, and that he is now considering it a bottom line for himself. He has reset his "sobriety date" to Day 1 again.
I told him that being with him was slowly killing me. It sucked the joy out of my life, my joy out of how I view the world, and that the hurt was so great that it made me do harmful things to myself like drink and take drugs.
I told him I need a break.
We agreed not to talk again until Thursday. I meant to make it a week, but then I caved and decided to start with a 3-day trial period.
I don't know...
While I am sure inpatient treatment can be wonderful when the SA is open to it, if they are not at a place where they are ready to really embrace recovery, all the tools under the sun handed to them will do no good. I would venture to say that most SA's don't just enter recovery upon realization that they are SA. It took my H 10 years and a real rock bottom to get there. I would not advocate that anyone wait around years to see if their SA will become serious about recovery.
I disagree with hath about using the annulment as a motivator. The SA cannot change to save a marriage or relationship; they need to be motivated to change because they cannot continue on with themselves in this manner. If your SA decided to work on recovery because you were going to leave him otherwise, what happens when he gets angry with you about something? He is going to relapse/slip and act out. It is the addict entitlement mentality. If the SA is not changing for themselves, forget it.
Honestly, I think NC and pursuing the annulment would be for the best. You are young and do not have children. I also think you need therapy and a support group of your own to recover, even if you do leave him. You need to work on yourself. You have been dealt a major blow and you need help. I don't remember if you are in IC? Are there any S-Anon groups nearby? Please, take care of YOU. I see you pouring a lot of mental energy into your SA, but not nearly enough into YOU. I realize this is all still new to you, but it can destroy you if you let it. BTDT.
As for the technology issue, I understand how many are fearful of their SA using the computer, cell phones, etc. However, SA has been around long before the internet. My H found the internet to be a playground, but honestly, he was acting out long before the internet....adult book stores, strippers, prostitutes, scanning, etc. In fact, the toughest behavior for SA's to break is scanning. They create their own porn by fantasizing about random people. At some point, the SA is going to have to choose recovery or not. We have no control over their thoughts. I understand that your boundaries include technological restrictions, but that is a short term fix. If he wants to act out, he will.
I know that voicing my opinion in favor of annulment may not be popular, but if it saves you from YEARS of heartache down the road, it would be a great option. How many of us wish we would have had that option when we first realized the scope of what we were dealing with?
I told him that being with him was slowly killing me. It sucked the joy out of my life, my joy out of how I view the world, and that the hurt was so great that it made me do harmful things to myself like drink and take drugs.
The summer before the last d-day, I was drinking heavily at home in the mornings after work, and hiding it. Several fifths of alcohol a week, trying to numb it all out. I know that this is not the life any of us would want for you, either. HUGS.
I often feel like I don't belong at SI in general. My story is vastly different than the majority of posters, so I tend to stick to this thread. Even here, I know that I am the oddball because my H is in a strong active recovery, and very few SA's actually get there. I am not bragging on him; believe me there was enough really atrocious behavior there that I don't tell my story to most people. He did some things that were really predatory and abusive (to me and others). I could not have continued to live with that person. Thank God he is so different now. Our CSAT, who has been doing this for a long time, says we are outliers, and that when he met us 2.5 years ago he would not have expected such a good outcome.
I don't want to give people false hope, either. I don't want people to say that "TMY's H is in recovery, mine can get there too." SA is a terrible, progressive addiction. I had the "luxury" of seeing how it progressed through the years for my H. I have seen how it brought all of us, our kids included, to the brink of destruction. I don't ever wish that on anyone. The level of dysfunction in my household on the last d-day, and in the time following was severe. Our marriage was weak from the start due to our own unacknowledged FOO issues that we both brought into this. Add in the SA, and the affects on our kids have been very hard for me to deal with. Harder than the lies and betrayal.
Even when your SA is in recovery, you don't just "get over it". There is a lot to process and it takes a lot of time. This is all still new to you. I understand the need for space, and honestly, even if he is in recovery, you don't owe him anything for it. If you still choose to separate, that is ok, too. I did not make a complete commitment back to R and the marriage for the first 1.5 years. I had to work through a lot of anger and grief and process things. And it is ok to see where things go and decide then. Addicts do have a hard time at first with empathy, but as they work the steps and continue to be called out on it by their CSAT's they can develop it. My H has become very empathetic and attentive now.
The first birthday I had after he entered recovery I had high expectations. I was so disappointed that he "forgot" or failed to acknowledge my birthday, which is how I have always spent my birthdays. I was pissed and told him so. He told his sponsor about our argument, and his sponsor (and later his CSAT, too) called him out on it. A day later he baked me a cake and bought me a present. I didn't eat any of the cake, lol, and waited another day to even open the present. This was 7 months into recovery. It takes a lot of time to change old behaviors and reactions. Now, he is very attentive to birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays. Almost to the point where I let go of that, but he picked it up. I now get letters, presents, etc. on holidays. There has been a lot of change.
If your SA is serious about recovery, take your time and process your feelings. Voice your concerns when he says/does things that are hurtful. Tell him to bounce it off his CSAT and sponsor if he doesn't understand why you are upset. That is why they have support, to help them grow. If you really feel that you cannot heal with him, do what you need to for YOU. Do not be concerned about his recovery, because if it is real and he is doing it for the right reasons he will carry on with or without you.
Take care of YOU. Even with a SA in recovery, the first few years are bumpy.

I'm just not ready to do it, and I don't think I'll be ready by March 14th.
So I think I'm just going to have to go for the big D when and if things do not change by the 1 year mark.
In the mean time, I am going to do my best to start detaching. Try to talk to him less. Try to worry about him less. Try to let go of control over the situation - if he wants to have ipad/iphone he can. He needs to make his own decisions. I'm going to let go of my side of the rope - whether he climbs out or whether he hangs himself, well I guess only he knows.
I'm just so sad, but I can't control him. I'm going to try to accept that he is an addict and stop dreaming about him being "cured." I'm going to try to let go of the illusion which was our marriage before. I'm going to try to not let this ruin my life. I'm going to try to let go, but I'm going to give myself the time I need to do it.
It's just so sad...so very, very sad. If only you could love someone out of addiction...I would love him forever.
I think I'll love him forever anyway.
WS, you absolutely MUST detach, for your own sake. Please read TMY's post and then read it again. Drive as long as you need to to get to an Sanon meeting. He is not ready to recover yet. He knows the jargon, can see the yellow brick road but he is still just an observer. Don't lose sight of the fact that this is a compelling brain based illness. The "high" he gets from the lying, the active acting out, the scanning, all of it, are chemical changes. Not unlike those they get from drugs. It isn't about you, it isn't about love, its addiction.
You are hurting so much. We get it. You need to get help IRL to heal. Please find a support group near you.
Too Many Years, your post to WS was very helpful to me as well. Thank you for sharing your experience. Through the wisdom of the women on this forum, I am starting to detach. I kicked my SAWH out two weeks ago. It was the hardest thing I've ever done, as I still love him deeply. But staying with him was damaging my health - and that of my family.
He sent beautiful flowers to me today for my birthday -- and a heartfelt card. I thanked him, but kept it very short.
Thank you all for the birthday wishes. I can't say it isn't a sad one, but here's hoping next year will be a better one for all of us.

Today I took the kids to their first "kids' counselor" appointment. They feel so grown-up that they have their own counselor! LOL My son told me that he also wants his own lawyer. The kids had a good time with the counselor, she seems a good fit (so far), plus she has a little dog which she keeps with her at all times, so my kids went nuts for the dog.
I'm also going to agree with TMY on the annulment. If it were me, I'd want to distance myself from any liability from his past and future actions. He is an addict who is not really in active recovery, he is capable of doing some pretty scary things that could have legal and financial consequences. Also, if it were me, I'd want to end the marriage that was founded on fraud and lies, and start a NEW one founded on honesty and authenticity later if it was in the cards. That doesn't mean you have to stop loving him, stop wanting him to get better, stop wanting to have the M with him that you deserve. I just mean get out of the the M that IT IS, and start over and do it the right way if it's possible. But I also know it's really easy to say that from over here, and actually being in the sitch is totally different and immensely painful and complicated.
Anyway, the Mending the Shattered Heart book has been totally revised and she's coming out with a new book in July. It's all going to be addressing the stuff we've been talking about, the problems we have had with the traditional therapy model. Stephanie Carnes is actually in my town this week and giving a speech about it, but I can't go because of all the craziness that is going on with the new home purchase.
My therapist was a spouse of a sex addict and has been in the industry for 20+ years. She said something very profound, I will see if I can find the exact quote in my notes later. Anyway, the model used to be that something along the lines of "the loss of self causes the spouse to obsess about the partner's addiction" whereas now the model is moving toward "the partner's addiction causes the spouse's loss of self". That because of FOO we learn to deal with things in a certain way, then BLAM we are dealt the SA spouse card, and it throws us in severe trauma and as a result we have loss of self in trying to survive the trauma. Etc.
I need to find my notes, I hope I'm not getting off track. Anyway, exciting stuff. Because so much of it we have been discussing here, the very same things. But it's super crazy for me this week, maybe I can get it together next week.
Small victory for me today. I have not talked to WS since Monday. Our next phone call will be Thursday evening. Baby steps, but I am at least making the effort to detach.
I kicked my SAWH out two weeks ago. He would not acknowledge he had a problem -- and refused to seek help. Since I've kicked him out, I have been bombarded with apologies, flowers, phone calls and loving emails. I am more convinced than ever that he is still acting out.
We are approximately your age (late 50's) -- and also cannot afford to separate. Let him figure it out. I am slowly detaching, otherwise I would go insane. I don't deserve this, and neither do you, sweetie.
Sending you strength and hugs...

text: Major Decrease in Expenses for Farmers and Ranchers This is the first substantial decrease in the last quarter century. Published on: Aug 4, 2010 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print According to the Farm Production Expenditures 2009 summary released by USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service Tuesday, U.S. farm production expenses decreased by almost $20 billion last year for the first time in nearly 25 years. A main contributing factor to the decrease in overall expenses was the fall of petroleum prices, which led to lower fuel, fertilizer and ag chemicals costs. The report shows farmers and ranchers spent $12.4 billion, 22.5% less than in 2008, on fuels. All major categories in farm expenses decreased, including average feed costs, costs for farm services and costs for fertilizer, lime and soil conditioners. The estimates in the summary are based on results of the nationwide Agricultural Resource Management Survey, which is done every year by NASS.

Why is 1440 x 900 "Best" for the Retina Screen per Apple?
Currently Being ModeratedJun 15, 2012 2:03 PM (in response to GTCA)
That is the screen's "native" resolution. All other resolutions involve the use of software to generate.
Currently Being ModeratedJun 15, 2012 2:10 PM (in response to Kappy)
I believe you, I just don't get how can something at 1,440 x 900 can be native on a 2880 x 1800 screen? I've heard of a pixel doubled configuration, is that what this is? And how does that work if it's not too involved?
Currently Being ModeratedJun 15, 2012 2:17 PM (in response to GTCA)
There are several articles around you can search for that explain exactly how the different resolutions are produced based on the screen's native resolution. I recall that to produce the 2880 x 1800 screen the display software uses pixel doubling (creating a pixel in software based on one that is hardware.) This is in a way how some printers that have, say, 300 dpi real resolution can produce images with 600 dpi resolution.

Hey Kappy what's up?
I'm about to take the plunge on the new MBP - Retina.
Loaded to the max, 2.7GHz, 16GB and 768GB for a total of $4123.90 (taxes included).
Your opinion, should I go ahead or wait for the next version that might have ironed out the bugs?
Currently Being ModeratedJun 15, 2012 2:34 PM (in response to Bimmer 7 Series)
Beats me! I've always stepped up to the latest and greatest by being the first on my block. I bought the first Intel MBP, the first Mac Pro, the first unibody MBP, the first 11" MBA, the first 2006 iMac, the first iPod and iPod Touch, the first iPad. Need I say more? I must say that I've been very lucky that I've never had problems with any of them. I've sold the 2006 MBP and 2010 MBA. The iMac was a give-away to a friend who managed almost a year before it died. The 2006 MBP now belongs to two Spanish girls and is still working. The rest of them I either still have or have donated.
I would go for that Retina model but I've already got too many notebook computers that i don't use, so it's hard to justify except for fooling around. I've got my eye on something to replace my Mac Pro because it can't run Mountain Lion.
But I'd love to see yours when it arrives!

Then, Anand Tech has an article on how Apple handles this scaling, and they say,
"Retina MBP ships in a pixel doubled configuration. You get the effective desktop resolution of the standard 15-inch MacBook Pro's 1440 x 900 panel, but with four physical pixels driving every single pixel represented on the screen. This configuration is the best looking, . . ."
I think the fundamental advantage of rendering at one to one (native resolution) is that each pixel of what's being rendered gets one physical pixel devoted to it on the screen. Any other lesser resolution will require that a combination of physical pixels be forced to represent one image pixel in either the vertical or horizontal direction or both even though not quite lining up with the image pixel, thus resulting in some fuzziness around the edges; the only exception (on the MBP Retina Display) would be four pixels neatly taking the place of one image pixel both vertically and horizontally. In one sense the image isn't being scaled per se by software; rather, the monitor is just making a four pixel square represent each one square pixel of the image being rendered, giving a perfect fit.
And a perfect fit can pay off, whether one to one or four to one. A companion Anand Tech article described a Windows 8 Boot Camp installation using all 2880x1880 pixels with a screen shot pretty much one to one. While the text on the web page shown is pretty small, enhancing contrast made it readable, and I suspect it's much sharper in real life. Now that's a lot of screen real-estate.

BTW, it seems the early answer to native 2880x1800 is SwitchResX.
Currently Being ModeratedJun 16, 2012 4:01 PM (in response to GTCA)
Glad you made this post.
I was in the Albany, NY store earlier this week and I was looking at the Retina MBP and something didn't look right. I opened up Photoshop and created a blank 1600x1200 image and surprisingly (at the time), it had to be viewed at 50% to see all of it.
I went in to Displays thinking that it was not set to 2880x1800. To make a long story short, I figured out that the display is really running at 1440x900 and utilized the extra resolution for font/image rendering...which is exactly how 'Retina' displays work on the iPhone/iPad.
It would be nice to see it run at the native resolution and still get the benefits of the font/image rendering. That way, I could see text/menus the way they are now, but still see my 1600x1200 image completely at 100%.
The analogy under Windows would be where I have my screen (4:3) set to 1600x1200, but then I pick large fonts so I can comfortably read text. I still get the benefit of extra resolution in various apps in that case.
Not sure if that can be done here.

Actually, it looks like it can, sort of. This MacWorld review http://www.macworld.com/article/1167286/macbook_pro_with_retina_display_redefine s_the_concept_of_a_pro_laptop.html describes successfully running Windows in Parallels at the Retina Display's real native resolution, and as mentioned above, Windows 8 in Boot Camp does too. So using the larger font option would give the best of both worlds, at least in Windows.

Can someone explain why this middle setting is inherently "Best", is it because the native resolution is divisible by this setting (2880 divisible by 1440; and 1800 divisible by 900)? And why does Anand Tech say there might be a quality impact in the other four? When would quality be compromised, when wouldn't it?
Basically the native resolution of the retina display is 2880x1800.
so if you're using 1440x900 then everything is perfect (which is why apple recommends it). Every pixel can be mapped to 2 pixels of the retina display, and everything is sharp.
for other resolutions,
Every single (clear) pixel, gets blurred with it's neighbors, or displaced and doubled, changing the size and shape of the displayed images.
Imagine two grids. One is 2x2 (4 pixels total). The other is 3x3.
Now if you scale up the 2x2 to the 3x3, you'd think you'd be ok, because the 3x3 is bigger, but what do you do with the middle pixel? Which corner's color does it get?
if you choose any of the 4 original pixels, you distort the image, so the only choice is a blurred mix of all 4 colors. It's a mess.
This is what happens when apple tries to display a 1920x1200 resolution desktop on a 2880x1800 resolution screen.
It *****.
As a photographer all I can say is...
no thanks.
I'm waiting for a 17" macbook pro with a decent native resolution, or it's time for another brand of computer.

The Cuban Spy Connection
An American female intelligence analyst was convicted in March of spying for Cuba for 16 years
CA Staff
From the Print Edition:
Cuban Spy Scandal, May/Jun 02
In September 11, the entire U.S. defense and intelligence establishment was put on high alert. Ships at sea went to "zip lip" status, meaning they ceased radio communications for fear of giving away their location. The Air Force began flying cover over U.S. territory. The uncertainty of the source of the attacks and whether more were coming meant that everyone had to be ready and all measures needed to be taken to maintain security.
However, one security breach wasn't closed for another 10 days, a lapse that puzzled many intelligence community sources. The FBI waited that long before arresting suspected Cuban spy Ana Belen Montes. She was a 45-year-old senior analyst on Cuba for the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), a group of more than 7,000 military and civilian employees worldwide who provide foreign military intelligence for the Department of Defense.
In a criminal complaint, the United States accused Montes of being a spy for Cuba. Her spying qualifies as one of the highest-level penetrations in the history of the DIA. On March 19, Montes pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit espionage, a charge that could have carried the death penalty, but in return for leniency, she agreed to cooperate with U.S. authorities. The court hearing revealed that she had spied for Cuba since beginning work at the DIA in 1985. The prosecutor, assistant U.S. Attorney Ronald Walutes Jr., reading the original indictment, said, "Montes used her position as an intelligence officer, and subsequently a senior intelligence analyst … to gather writings, documents, materials and information, classified for reasons of national security, for unlawful communication, delivery and transmission to the government of Cuba."
Montes was unavailable for comment after the plea hearing, but her lawyer, Plato Cacheris, told reporters that "she engaged in these activities because of her belief that U.S. policy does not afford Cubans respect, tolerance and understanding. She was motivated by her desire to help the Cuban people, and did not receive any compensation." Cacheris told Cigar Aficionado that "she took the 25 year sentence because if they tried it and we lost, she could have gotten life plus 40 years. The case would have been difficult for us to win." But he went on to say that the government "in order to learn the full extent of her activities, they had to make the deal. Otherwise, we weren't going to let her be debriefed." He declined to speculate further about her motivation.
But what remains clear is that in the wake of September 11, intelligence officials couldn't help but wonder to what extent Montes and other Cuban spies still at large could have compromised the national security of the United States. At the very least, her position in the DIA, and the information she had access to there, finally convinced counter-intelligence agents in the United States that it was too risky to allow her to remain in place at the DIA.
After tailing her beginning in May 2001, federal agents arrested Montes on September 21 in her DIA office at Bolling Air Force Base in Washington, D.C. Later that day, Walutes, the assistant U.S. Attorney, told the U.S. District Court in Washington that Montes "knowingly compromised national defense information" and claimed that Montes had harmed the United States. The affidavit supporting the complaint and arrest of Montes was filed by Special Agent Steven A. McCoy, a veteran of the FBI's counterintelligence unit and an expert on Cuban espionage. In the final plea agreement, Montes admitted to also revealing the identity of four U.S. agents to the Cuban Government. All four agents, according to U.S. Attorney Roscoe Howard are "alive and safe."
The original affidavit asserts that Montes committed two particularly egregious acts against the national security of the country. First, she had been passing details "about a particular top-secret Special Access Program (SAP) related to the national defense of the United States" to her Cuban handlers, at least one of whom was an official based in New York at Cuba's mission to the United Nations, according to U.S. investigators. SAPs usually have to do with either technical (satellite) or human intelligence gathering operations, to which few people are given access. In this case, as Montes seemed to brag to her Cuban handlers, "[J]ust today the agency made me enter into a program, 'special access top secret.' [First name, last name omitted from this application] and I are the only ones in my office who know about the program."
Second, Montes revealed the identity of a U.S. intelligence officer "who was present in an undercover capacity in Cuba," according to the original affidavit. The Cubans did not arrest the U.S. spy, but Cuban sources explained that the agent was identified and fed bad information. The affidavit seems to confirm that, saying that Cuba was "able to direct its counterintelligence resources" against the U.S. agent. "We were waiting here for him with open arms," the affidavit states, revealing a message from Cuba to Montes that was deleted but recovered from the hard drive of Montes' computer.
Affidavits are usually the most informative documents that ever become public in many spy cases. The government is often not interested in having a full trial, because information that could potentially compromise intelligence activities might have to be presented. That's why, as in the case of FBI mole Robert Hanssen, deals are made that might seem lenient, but they are made to protect ongoing operations. (Hanssen, a senior FBI counterintelligence agent who was arrested for spying for the old Soviet Union, monitored how the United States checked up on suspected Cuban agents and passed along that information to his KGB handlers.)
The public evidence against Montes was based largely on material found during at least two searches by federal agents of her Washington apartment. It included information about "the identities of foreign espionage agents" and "espionage paraphernalia, including devices designed to conceal and transmit national defense and classified intelligence information and material." The agents discovered more than 50 computer diskettes, and later found messages still on the hard drive of Montes' computer that had been "deleted." Among them, the FBI asserted, was a message from Montes' Cuban handlers at the Cuban Intelligence Services, or CuIS, according to the affidavit. The FBI stated that the instructions on the message duplicate the known methods by which Cuban agents have communicated with the CuIS, "by making calls to a pager number from a pay telephone booth and entering a pre-assigned code to convey a particular message." Montes was directed to communicate with beepers in the 917 area code. That's New York—where Cuba's mission to the United Nations is located. The recovered message from the CuIS on Montes' hard drive, according to the affidavit, listed three beeper numbers with codes. The message tells Montes to be cautious using one of the devices, "because this beeper is public, in other words it is known to belong to the Cuban Mission at the UN and we assume there is some control over it. You may use this beeper only in the event you cannot communicate" with the other two secure beepers. FBI agent McCoy explained in the affidavit that "control over it" means the CuIS officer suspects that the FBI "is aware that this beeper number is associated with the Cuban government and is monitoring it in some fashion."

Summary of The Dark Rose Summary of The Dark Rose Reviews for The Dark Rose An Excerpt from The Dark Rose
"A stunning look at human desperation, loyalty, and absolute terror" (Suspense Magazine) from the acclaimed author of The Poison Tree
When Erin Kelly burst onto the scene with The Poison Tree, readers were left breathless and hungry for more. Maureen Corrigan at the Washington Post pleaded, "More, please, Ms. Kelly! Quickly!" A story of secrets and guilt, The Dark Rose is a mesmerizing follow-up that's every bit as chilling and atmospheric as her acclaimed debut.
Nineteen-year-old Paul sits in a stark interrogation room across from two police officers. What started as petty theft turned into murder; only terror and loyalty keep him silent. Louisa spends her days roaming a crumbling Elizabethan garden—until she meets Paul, who is a dead ringer for her long-lost love. Louisa starts to hope she can find happiness again, but neither of them can outrun his violent past.
Praise for THE DARK ROSE:
"Everything we love in a thriller—obsessive passion, haunting secrets, a shocking ending—is here, set among the creepily atmospheric ruins of a 16th century English garden."
—O, The Oprah Magazine
"With its rich intertwining of viewpoints and time frames, its nuances of character and class, its sustained suspense . . . this harrowing novel is a work of true talent."
—Publishers Weekly, starred review
"[Kelly] draws readers in with her compelling stories; then, she dims the lights, darkens the worldview and bolts the exit doors. . . . It's useless to resist: You must read it."
—Maureen Corrigan, NPR.org
"Erin Kelly has delivered a stunning look at human desperation, loyalty, and absolute terror. . . . First class writing that is absolutely captivating!"
—Suspense Magazine
Praise for THE BURNING AIR:
"Erin Kelly is a seriously good writer, and this gripping novel is her best yet. I really loved it—couldn't put it down!"
—Sophie Hannah
Praise for THE POISON TREE:
"A terrific suspense debut, reminiscent of another British woman's auspicious bow: Daphne DuMaurier's Rebecca. The shadows gather until the ending looms like a threatening figure. This one gets the writer's ultimate bit of praise: I wish I had written it."
—Stephen King
"A compelling creeper . . . More please, Ms. Kelly! Quickly!"
—The Washington Post
"There is a brooding sense of impending doom and imminent danger. . . . [T]he explosive ending, its revelations about the threesome and the lengths to which people will go to preserve or take what's theirs, makes THE POISON TREE a rich and satisfying pleasure."
