Herban Cowboy Milled Bar Soap Dusk™ -- 5 oz
A great deodorant soap for men.
The man of our house loves this soap. It has a rather strong, but not too strong, sent.
It will make your whole bathroom smell great, so I hope everyone in your house likes it.
It leaves a good smell on you that will last for hours. Smells better and lasts longer than most commercial body washes. A great choice for any guy. It lathers quite well and you don't use much for each shower so the bar will last you awhile.

Makes you Smell gooood
I've been complemented on how this makes me smell, so it does what it's supposed to, and well.

Works great, smells great! Very musty
June 20, 2013
We didn't even try this. Scent was say too strong. I gave it to my husband to take to a meeting and give it to anyone who would take it.

Great Smelling but a Little Too Drying
I bought this for my hubby as part of his Valentine present. We are buying more natural soaps, and thought this would be a little romantic. My husband shaves his head frequently, and I thought this would make a nice shaving soap. It smells really nice...very manly but not overpowering. However, it dried his skin more than other soaps he uses, including his moisturizing shaving soap. I didn't expect that, as I thought the natural soap with oils would be more gentle to his somewhat sensitive skin. He plans to use it from time to time as a shower bar, but it will not be his go-to soap for daily use.

A federal court in California has issued a ruling that's raising widespread alarm among advocates for civil liberties. Last month, the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit said law enforcement agents can sneak onto a person's property, plant a GPS device on their vehicle, and track their every movements. The court's ruling means the spying is legal in California and eight other Western states. [includes rush transcript]Sep 02, 2010 | Story

What's one of the most overlooked keys to total home comfort? Ask your nose.
Does your home smell like a dirty sock? Don't laugh! There's a phenomenon known as "dirty sock syndrome" where your central heating and cooling system circulates air throughout your home that actually smells like a dirty sock. This is the result of fungus, mold and mildew growing inside of your heating and cooling equipment. Considering that people spend 90% of their time indoors, dirty sock syndrome is not something you want to experience.
If you have been fortunate enough to evade dirty sock syndrome, you have likely fallen victim to other odor-causing sources in your home. From Fido's pet bed to Felix's litter box, pets are among the most common sources of unpleasant indoor odors. Or perhaps you have a child that plays organized sports? If you've never smelled a hockey player's gear bag, consider yourself fortunate.
Activities performed inside your home are also common odor sources. The reason people don't like to cook fish inside their homes is because it smells like fish—two days after they cooked it. Smoking inside the home? Enough said.
Odors are more than just a nuisance. They are often indicative of larger, health-threatening issues inside your home's air. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are chemicals that evaporate into potentially-harmful gases and are frequently identified by odor. Molds and mildew are associated with stale, musty odors and are known aggravators of allergies, asthma and other respiratory ailments.
No one likes odors in their home—consider the millions of dollars consumers spend annually on air fresheners, candles and other "masks." But does it really make sense to add something to the air in an attempt to remove something from the air?
Solve Problems — Comfort - OdorsOdors are mostly an issue of pool ventilation in your home. If odors have nowhere to escape to, they linger in your home, compounding upol one another, making your home an unpleasant place to live. Aprilaire Whole-House Ventilation is one of the best ways to exchange foul, stale and potentially toxic indoor air with clean,fresh outdoor air all year round.
Whole-Home Dehumidifiers and Air Cleaners by Aprilaire area also a great way to rid your home of odors. Aprilaire Whole-Home Dehumidifiers fight the growth of mold and mildew and the musty odors associated with these fungi from your basement to your attic and everywhere in between. If you are concerned about odors from cooking grease, chimney or tobacco smoke — an Aprilaire Whole-Home Air Cleaner can help rid your home of these strong smells.

New Statewide Evaluation System
February 21, 2012
Around Town – By Neal Tepel
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo, New York State Education Commissioner John King, and New York State United Teachers President Richard C. Iannuzzi on Thursday February 16, 2012 announced a groundbreaking agreement on a new statewide evaluation system that will make New York State a national leader in holding teachers accountable for student achievement.
Iannuzzi Elected Third Term President
April 12, 2011
By Stephanie West
On Saturday April 9, 2011, Richard C. Iannuzzi was elected to his third term as president of New York State United Teachers. Iannuzzi's election capped off a full slate of NYSUT incumbents who were returned to their respective offices during the union's 39th Representative Assembly: NYSUT Executive Vice President Andrew Pallotta of New York City, Vice Presidents Maria Neira of New York City and Kathleen Donahue of Hilton and Secretary-Treasurer Lee Cutler of Newburgh. All terms are for three years.
NYSUT Applauds Selection of Mario Cilento as NYS AFL-CIO President
December 20, 2011
New York State United Teachers President Richard C. Iannuzzi statement in support of Mario Cilento's election as president of the New York State AFL-CIO:
"We are confident that Mario Cilento will embody the state AFL-CIO's outstanding commitment to solidarity and worker rights, and build on the strong record of his predecessor, Denis Hughes," Iannuzzi said. "Mario is the right person, at the right time, to carry us into a new age of unionism that never loses sight of its core values. Everyone at NYSUT looks forward to working with Mario and the entire labor movement to expand our ability to galvanize working families across New York state."

"You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows." Bob Dylan
Members of my union New York State United Teachers like many Americans, live through and see the magnitude of the fiscal crisis facing our nation and our state every day. We see it when jobs are threatened and programs are cut, and we see it in the mood of the children and patients in our care. While things are starting to turn around, we know that more is still needed.
The Regents Folly and Long Island Schools
August 8, 2011
By Richard C. Iannuzzi
Pencils down! Standardized tests in math, science, social studies and English Language Arts for third through eighth graders; mid-terms and finals; and an exhausting battery of high school Regents exams have all finally come to a close for Long Island's 475,000 students. Who could blame them for exhaling a huge sigh of relief?
Featured Columnist Richard C. Iannuzzi - Election Day "Alternatives"
By Richard C. Iannuzzi
November 1, 2010
Earlier this month, I stood with nearly 175,000 other people on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. to proudly support the theme of "One Nation Working Together."
Civil rights leaders, labor leaders, educators, peace activists and tens of thousands of others representing more than 400 progressive groups had organized around a simple, yet profound, mission – to advocate for one nation working together to provide all people a just and fair opportunity, regardless of race, class, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, or heritage.
Collective Actions Ignite A Movement

Spring signals a rebirth — a rebirth, not only in nature but, as the cold, hard winter recedes from memory, a rebirth in our spirit. The themes of spring and rebirth also serve as metaphors for a new energy and urgency gripping the labor movement around the country.
Featured Columnist Richard C. Iannuzzi - Rejecting the Property Tax Cap As Just Another Albany Gimmick
By Richard C. Iannuzzi
August 20, 2010
One thing I know about New Yorkers, they're great at recognizing which products and proposals are worthwhile and which are no more than flashy come-ons that promise a lot, but deliver nothing. That's why I'm confident that, once voters learn more about property tax caps, they'll reject them as another gimmick, not unlike those exercise belts that promise you three inches off your waistline in just 10 days. Some things are simply "too good to be true."

And she's also fighting to keep her kids from returning there as well.
Waiting for Brooke Robinson is her ex-husband, a Mexican native. He has a court order to extradite his former family.
"We believe she had every right to bring the kids to the United States," says her attorney Clayton Simms. "They are U.S. citizens. How can you prevent a U.S. citizen from living in the United States?"
Robinson brought her children to Utah after the divorce. She left because of the alleged abuse of her husband.
"We were abused emotionally and physically," says Robinson.
She documented the abuse with pictures of her two boys. There were bruises on their faces and scars from injuries. She claims they were made by her ex-husband and his family.
"We got death threats saying he would kill us and keep abusing the kids," she says.
Robinson filed for divorce in Mexico and got custody of the two boys. She even went on Mexico television to bring awareness to domestic violence. She claims those appearances on Mexico television infuriated her ex-husband.
"He was yelling out of window, kicking my car, he was being so angry," she says after a confrontation with her ex-husband.
She moved to Utah. They have dual citizenship and she says the children are much happier here.
"My goal is to protect them," she says. "That's my only priority and to make them happy."
But earlier this month her ex-husband filed papers in a Mexico court demanding extradition.
Her attorney is challenging the order in Utah's federal court.
Robinson is not sure how the U.S. courts will rule. But she believes if she's forced to return to Mexico it could be fatal.
"If I go back to Mexico I am sure he's going to kill myself," she says. "And then he will gain custody of my two boys and end up killing them too."
Attempts to learn more of the ex-husband's claims are not available. The Utah federal judge has sealed all documents.

NFPA Journal®, November/December 2008
By Michael J. Karter and Joseph L. Molis
Each year, NFPA studies firefighter deaths and injuries to provide national statistics on their frequency, extent, and characteristics. Earlier this year, NFPA reported that 103 firefighters died on duty (see "2007 Firefighter Fatalities," NFPA Journal July/August 2008).
This report addresses 2007 firefighter injuries in the United States. The results are based on data collected during the 2007 NFPA Survey of Fire Departments for U.S. Fire Experience. An earlier report measured the national fire experience in terms of the number of fires that fire departments attended and the resulting civilian deaths, civilian injuries, and property losses that occurred.1
This year's report includes among its results:
Overall results Based on survey data reported by fire departments, NFPA estimates that 80,100 firefighter injuries occurred in the line of duty in 2007.2 This is a decrease of 4 percent and back to the 2005 level. In recent years, the number of firefighter injuries has been considerably lower than it was in the 1980s and 1990s, but this is due in part to additional questions about exposures, which allow us to place them in their own categories (see Figure 1 ). Previously, some of these exposures may have been included in total injuries under other categories.
NFPA estimates that there were 13,450 exposures to infectious diseases, such as hepatitis, meningitis, HIV, and others in 2007. This amounts to 0.9 exposures per 1,000 emergency medical runs by fire departments in 2007.
NFPA estimates that there were 28,300 exposures to hazardous conditions such as asbestos, radioactive materials, chemicals, fumes, and others in 2007. This amounts to 26.2 exposures per 1,000 hazardous condition runs in 2007.
An estimated 16,350 injuries, or 20.4 percent of all firefighter injuries, resulted in lost time in 2007.
Injuries by type of duty Estimates of firefighter injuries by type of duty are displayed in Table 2 and Figure 3. As in past reports, type of duty is divided into five categories:
Responding to, or returning from, an incident, including both fires and nonfire emergencies.
Results by type of duty indicate, not surprisingly, that the largest share of injuries occurs during fireground operations: 38,340 or 47.9 percent of all firefighter injuries in 2007, similar to the 2002–2003 level. Table 1 displays firefighter injuries at the fireground and injury rates for the 19812007 period. Injuries at the fireground decreased from their high of 67,500 in 1981 to a low of 36,880 in 2004, for a decrease of 45.4 percent. The rate of injuries per 1,000 fires generally decreased during the period except for 2005–2006. This is because the number of fires also decreased a considerable 46.4 percent for the 1981 to 2004 period (see Figure 2 ).
In addition to injuries at the fireground, an estimated 15,435 or 19.3 percent of injuries occurred at nonfire emergencies, while 13,665 or 17.1 percent occurred during other on-duty activities.
The nature of fireground injuries Estimates of 2007 firefighter injuries by nature of injury and type of duty are displayed in Table 2. The nature of injury cause categories are based, with modifications, on NFPA 901, Uniform Coding for Fire Protection. Table 2 indicates that the four major types of injuries that occur during fireground operations are strains and sprains, responsible for 45.1 percent; wounds, cuts, bleeding, and bruises for 18.2 percent; burns for 6.9 percent; thermal stress for 6.3 percent; and smoke or gas inhalation for 5.6 percent.
Results were fairly consistent during all non-fireground activities, with strains, sprains, and muscular pain comprising 57.8 percent of all non-fireground injuries and wounds, cuts, bleeding, and bruises comprising 17.7 percent.
Causes of fireground injuries Because fireground injuries are of particular concern, their causes were examined (see Figure 4 ). The definition of cause here refers to the initial circumstance leading to the injury. The cause categories included on the survey were also based on NFPA 901. Falls, slips, and jumps at 27.3 percent and overexertion and strains at 24.4 percent were the leading causes of fireground injuries. Other major causes were contacts with an object at 11.9 percent, exposure to fire products at 8.8 percent, and being struck by an object at 8.8 percent.
Fire department vehicle collisions NFPA reported earlier that 27 firefighters died in motor vehicle collisions in 2007 (see "2007 Firefighter Fatalities," NFPA Journal, July/August 2008).
In 2007, there were an estimated 14,650 collisions involving fire department emergency vehicles, where departments were responding to, or returning from, incidents (see Table 3 ). To put this number in perspective, fire departments responded to over 25.3 million incidents in 2007, so the number of collisions represents about one-tenth of 1 percent of total responses. However, these collisions resulted in 915 firefighter injuries or 1.1 percent of all firefighter injuries.
In addition, 665 collisions involving firefighters' personal vehicles occurred in 2007 as they responded to, or returned from, incidents. These collisions resulted in an estimated 120 injuries.
Average fires and fireground injuries per department by population protected The average number of fires and fireground injuries per department by the population of community protected in 2007 are displayed in Table 4. These tabulations show that the number of fires a fire department responds to is directly related to the population protected and that the number of fireground injuries incurred by a department is directly related to its exposure to fire, or the number of fires attended by the department. The second point is clearly demonstrated when we examine the range of the statistic: from a high of 100.5 fireground injuries for departments that protect communities of 500,000 to 999,999 to a low of 0.2 for those that protect communities of less than 2,500.
A useful way to look at firefighter injury experience and to obtain a reading on the relative risk that departments face is to examine the number of fireground injuries that occur for every 100 fires attended. This takes into account relative fire experience and allows a more direct comparison among departments protecting communities of different sizes. The number of fireground injuries per 100 fires is displayed in Column 4 of Table 4. The overall range of rates varied little from a high of 3.4 for departments that protect communities of 250,000 to 499,999 people to a low of 1.6 for departments that protect communities with less than 5,000 people.
Thus, the wide range noted in average fireground injuries by the population protected narrows when relative fire experience is considered. The overall injury rate for departments protecting communities with populations of 50,000 or more was 2.5 injuries per 100 fires or 39 percent higher than the injury rate for departments protecting communities with less than 50,000 people.
The risk of fireground injury per 100 firefighters by the size of the community protected was also calculated and is displayed in Column 5 of Table 4. Larger departments generally had the highest rates, with departments protecting communities of 250,000 to 499,999 having the highest rate of 9.4 injuries per 100 firefighters. As community size decreases, the rate drops quite steadily to a low of 1 for departments protecting fewer than 2,500 people. That is a more than a nine-to-one difference in risk of injury between communities of 250,000 to 499,999 and the smallest communities, those with less than 2,500.
An explanation for this difference is that, although a department protecting a community with a population of 250,000 to 499,999 has, on average, more than 22 times as many firefighters as a department protecting a population of less than 2,500, the larger department attends more than 100 times as many fires, and as a result, it incurs considerably more fireground injuries.
Average fires and fireground injuries by population protected and region Table 5 displays the average number of fires and fireground injuries per department by the population of community protected and region of the country.3 As in the nationwide results in Table 4, the results of each region of the country indicate that the number of fires a fire department responds to is directly related to the population protected and that the number of fireground injuries incurred by a department is directly related to the number of fires attended. The Northeast reported a substantially higher number of fireground injuries for most community sizes where all departments reported sufficient data by region.
Improving firefighter safety As the statistics in this report and previous reports attest, firefighting presents great risks of personal injury to firefighters. Moreover, because of the kind of work performed and the hazards of the incident scene environment, it is unlikely all firefighter injuries can be eliminated. However, a risk management system and the application of existing technology can offer options to reduce present injury levels and bring about the corresponding reductions that NFPA recommends be taken at the local level. The reference to the appropriate NFPA standard is shown with the example in parentheses:
Efforts need to be made to recognize that firefighter injuries can be reduced. By addressing the priorities listed above, fire service organizations can make significant strides toward reducing the number and impact of such injuries.
Acknowledgments NFPA thanks the many fire departments that responded to the 2007 NFPA Survey for U.S. Fire Experience for their continuing efforts to provide in a timely manner the data so necessary to make national projections of firefighter injuries. The authors thank the many NFPA staff members who worked on this year's survey, including Frank Deely, John Baldi, and John Conlon for editing and keying the survey forms and their follow-up calls to fire departments and Norma Candeloro for handling the processing of survey forms and keying in this report.

The gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar, is one of North America's most devastating invasive forest pests. The species originally evolved in Europe and Asia and has existed there for thousands of years. In the late 1860s, the European gypsy moth was accidentally introduced near Boston, MA by an amateur entomologist. Since then, gypsy moths have spread throughout the Northeast and into parts of the upper Midwest and Great Lakes states including Indiana.
The gypsy moth is known to feed on the foliage of hundreds of species of trees and shrubs in North America but prefers oak trees. When gypsy moth populations reach high levels, trees may be completely defoliated by feeding caterpillars. Several successive years of defoliation, along with contributions by other stress factors, often results in tree death. Gypsy moth can be an expensive, messy problem for homeowners and, when out of control, can cause extensive damage to U.S. forests.
Indiana citizens can help combat this pest by understanding the gypsy moth problem and learning about its management. Please use this website as a source of reliable, current information.

Again, Michigan thanks you.
Now that the Wolverines are here, though, they have every chance, and right, to win it all.
If Michigan wins after surviving a close call, it will also join a very long list.
"To make it to the national championship I do believe you have to be a little lucky," Michigan forward Glenn Robinson III said. "You have to have some of those big breaks like we had because not everything is going to fall your way."
Lucky breaks, bad calls and strange bounces are part of what makes the NCAA tournament different from a best-of-seven playoff series.
You can never discount the "whew" factor.
You think of UCLA as an unbeatable powerhouse on its way to a record 11 NCAA titles, but it wasn't always the case.
UCLA would have only 10 banners had Tyus Edney not gone coast to coast for the winning basket against Missouri in 1995.
UCLA would have only nine titles if not for three daring escapes during John Wooden's last title run in 1975. The Bruins required overtime to get out of the first round against Michigan, dodged Montana by three in the second and needed overtime, Richard Washington and three Hail Marys to get past Louisville in the national semifinals.
Jerry Tarkanian still credits the referees for UCLA's 1971 title after his Long Beach State team lost by two in the regional at Salt Lake City.
And people forget the great Lew Alcindor-led UCLA team of 1969 barely sneaked by Drake in the national semifinals. Thank Lynn Shackelford for those late free throws.
Georgetown won the 1984 national title but only after tiptoeing by Southern Methodist, 37-36, in the second round.
In 1957, North Carolina needed three overtime periods to beat Michigan State in the national semis and three OTs to beat Kansas in the final.
One slip here . . . one slip there.
This year marks the 30th anniversary of the all-time, death-defying climb back from the brink of single-game elimination — North Carolina State's miraculous run to the 1983 title.
The impossible title-game win over Houston was nothing compared with North Carolina State's first-round win, in Corvallis, Ore., against a Pepperdine team coached by Jim Harrick.
North Carolina State trailed by six points with less than a minute to go in overtime. Pepperdine's Dane Suttle, an 83.5% free-throw shooter, missed two front ends of one-and-ones. North Carolina State tied it and won in double overtime.
"Believe me, I still get questioned about, how did I miss?" Suttle told The Times in 2009. ". . . It wasn't meant to be."
Sometimes it isn't, and sometimes it is.
Michigan won its only previous NCAA title, in 1989, in overtime, against Seton Hall.
"Having a chance to hang another one up for a national championship and getting ready to play tomorrow is all kind of surreal to us," Robinson said.
Michigan in 1989 was seeded third and opened first-round play against No. 14 Xavier.
The sub-regional was in Atlanta. Michigan won by only five, 92-87.
Here we are in Atlanta again.

Yea, I don't know how I feel about this. I mean in baseball you try and steal signs all the time.
In football you do the same thing. Which is why in no huddle type situations, you'll see hand signals from 3 different backup QBs 2 of which are just randomly signing in plays that have no meaning while one of them is signaling the correct play.
I guess videotaping the signals is a whole new level, but for whatever reason I don't think its that big a deal.

Oops! IED Goes Off In Al Qaeda Hideout, 15 Dead...
Al-Qaeda explosion kills 15 suspected Yemeni terrorists January 21, 2013 - A large-scale explosion in Yemen's Bayda province is believed to have killed at least 15 suspected al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) members on Sunday, according to a former U.S. law enforcement commander now serving as an official in Israel. Quote:
The official says an IED (improvised explosive device) detonated in a dwelling owned by a suspected al-Qaeda cell leader, Ahmed Deif-Allah Al-Zahab. The deadly explosion is believed to have been an accident that occurred as the terrorists were preparing the device for an attack.
When Yemeni civilians attempted to help the occupants of the devastated building, they were barred from approaching the scene of the incident by armed gunman linked to AQAP, the official said. AQAP continues to be a threat in Yemen and the terrorist group has launched deadly attacks against the military since was pushed out of cities and towns it controlled in late 2011. The Somali group known as al-Shabaab has provided weapons, fighters and training with explosives over the last few months to the Yemen-based al-Qaeda branch that has been battling with the Yemeni police and army forces in Abyan since May 2011, according to officials such as Congressman Pete King (R-NY). The country's interior ministry reported earlier this month that al-Shabaab had sent 300 armed men to fight alongside the Yemen-based al-Qaeda wing known locally as Partisans of Sharia ( Islamic law) in Abyan province. The group is also known as al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). In January 2009, al-Qaeda affiliates in Saudi Arabia and Yemen officially merged and formed Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, as reported in the Examiner. Source

DeWalt Edition M-16 Is Power Tooltastic
Kidding, it's not really a DeWalt edition rifle, it's just an M-16 some guy modded to look like one. Apparently, it's supposed to look like a nail gun.
I'd just picked up a new (to me) M-16 and was in the process of fixing it up a little. It needed new furniture anyway, so I sourced the safety yellow stock, guard, and grip. Then, I went down to the DeWalt factory service place a few miles from the house to get a sticker. There, I saw they had brand new battery casings, so I picked up one of those too. I got home, found a short magazine , and got to work.
Yeah buddy, that's what I'm talking about. I freaking love modded weapons (except these ones) and even dabble in them a little myself. Like when my wife was at work today I modded a bazooka to look like her hair dryer. Anybody want to go out for coffee tomorrow morning, say around 8:00?
UPDATE: Added more pics after the jump.
Dewalt-16 [toolmonger]
While this might look like a nail gun, trust me: it isn't [dvice]
So I was out shooting the ol' shotgun the other day, and I thought to myself, "self, could blasting the hell out of this stump get any more awesome?" And the answer, dear reader, is yes, a chainsaw bayonet would have totally made it awesomer. PEW PEW, BRUUUM BRUUUM BR BR BR... / Continue →

Yep, somehow this WeeP5 is actually a fully functional Wiimote. Alternatively, a great way to miss a flight. In case you're wondering: B button is the trigger, A button is under the foregrip, 1 and 2 are on opposite sides near the front, the D-pad and Wii remote are jutting o... / Continue →

Election to the NAE is among the highest professional distinctions accorded to an engineer. Academy membership honors those who have made outstanding contributions to "engineering research, practice, or education, including, where appropriate, significant contributions to the engineering literature," and to the "pioneering of new and developing fields of technology, making major advancements in traditional fields of engineering, or developing/implementing innovative approaches to engineering education."
- Anant Agarwal, president of edX and a professor of computer science and engineering, was cited for contributions to shared-memory and multicore computer architectures.
- John Hansman PhD '82, the T. Wilson Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics and Engineering Systems Head of the Humans and Automation Division, was recognized for development of aviation display and alerting systems for air safety.
- Edward Wilson Merrill ScD '47, professor emeritus in the Department of Chemical Engineering, was recognized for contributions to biocompatible materials, bio-rheology, and biomedical engineering education.
Including this year's inductees, 175 members of MIT's engineering community have been elected to the NAE. With this week's announcement, NAE's total U.S. membership stands at 2,250; the number of foreign associates is at 211.
A number of MIT alumni were also named to the NAE this year, including Joseph Beaman Jr. ScD '79; Weng Cho Chew '76, SM '78, PhD '80; David Dill '79; Helen Greiner '89, SM '90; Maurice Herlihy SM '80, PhD '84; Edward Kavazanjian '73, SM '75; Charles Kolb '67; Enrique Lavernia SM '84, PhD '86; Raphael Lee ScD '80; and José Moura SM '73, ScD'75.

"Well here's the thing . . . I mean he's gonna recognize your face," the informant told him.
"I know that's why I'm thinkin' about just . . . puttin' him out," Lester said.
"I'm afraid they'll find it out," the informant said.
"All you got to do . . ." Lester said.
"You sure?" the informant interrupted.
". . . is be clean man, just be clean," Lester told him.
Lester was arrested on March 30, 2011, and charged with Patton's murder after Sam Ranson, a longtime friend of Lester, came forward with information. Ranson told authorities Lester told him he killed Patton over the theft of an engine stuffed with methamphetamine. The drugs were owned by a member of the Mexican Mafia named Tito Lopez.
Cooper said Lester's lifestyle revolved around drugs and guns.
Photos presented during trial showed Lester handling rifles in the Sissonville area home of Sandra and Rodney Shaffer Sr.
The images were captured with surveillance cameras in the Shaffer home. Authorities said Sandra Shaffer installed the cameras for security and to spy on her husband with his girlfriend. Those tapes were confiscated in the April search of Shaffer's property.
Sandra Shaffer testified in federal court last week that Lester had access to weapons at her home and that she saw Lester regularly handle some of the 17 guns kept in safes around the home. The weapons belonged to her husband, she said.
She said drugs and drug abusers flowed in and out of their home on a daily basis. Lester lived with the Shaffers for a while and later lived in trailers they owned.
Lester, who pleaded guilty to Patton's murder, never admitted to pulling the trigger. Authorities said Rodney Shaffer Jr., son of Rodney Sr. and Sandra Shaffer, would have testified he was lying in the backseat of a green Ford Bronco on Aug. 14, 2003, the night Patton and Meadows were killed, when he heard a shot fired. His father was sitting up front with Lester.
Rodney Shaffer Sr. died in 2008.
Cooper said the senior Shaffer was the "godfather of that crew" and said he was just as culpable in the shootings as Lester.
"If Rodney Shaffer Sr. were alive today, he would also be in prison for his participation in the sniper murders," Cooper said.
Lester pleaded guilty in August to one count of second-degree murder in Patton's death. His plea was entered the morning a jury was to be selected for his trial. He was sentenced to 40 years in prison for that offense.
Last week, U.S. District Judge John Copenhaver added another six years to that sentence for being a felon in possession of a firearm.
