Talkin' 'Bout My Generation
Wyoming's lawyers span three generations: those well past retirement age, those not long out of law school, and the ones in between. As products of different periods of history, they differ in their lifestyles and work habits, but surprisingly, not when it comes to the ideals they hold dear. The attorneys who recently spoke with the Wyoming Lawyer all value a job well done, community service and good mentors. Who are the generations?A generation is an age specific segment of the population whose members share core values and characteristics derived from the societal influences and experiences of their formative years. Their attitudes toward life affect their lifestyle choices and the way they function as professionals. Psychologists have broken down the generations living today into several classifications and made the following generalizations about them.Traditionalists, born between 1901 and 1945, were children during the Great Depression and WWII, and as a result, are characterized as well disciplined, patriotic, loyal and fiscally conservative. Although many are retired or nearing retirement, 304 still practice law in Wyoming. Baby Boomers, born between 1946 and 1964, are the product of the post WWII population explosion and grew up in an era of economic prosperity. A greater number of young people than ever before were able to afford a college education. Americans moved into the suburbs and enjoyed a steady stream of new household appliances and inventions. This environment produced a generation of individuals categorized as competitive, ambitious and idealistic. The largest number of Wyoming lawyers--1,079--is Baby Boomers. Generation X, or the Gen Xers, born between 1965 and 1981, is characterized as independent and self-reliant because the majority of them were "latchkey kids," raised in dual-income families. Having spent less time with their parents than previous generations, they feel a stronger bond with their peers than older people and a greater determination as adults not to be the workaholics their parents were. Generation Xers marry later in life and divorce less often than Baby Boomers. Among this generation, large numbers of women--and an increasing number of men--are choosing to stay home to raise their children. Gen Xers are also more technologically literate than previous generations because they learned to use computers in the classroom and grew up with the electronic devices their parents learned to use as adults. There are 615 Gen X lawyers practicing in Wyoming. The Millennials, the youngest generation to graduate from law school, were born between 1982 and 2000; as yet, the Wyoming Bar has no Millennial members. Wyoming attorneys differ from one generation to another primarily in their view of how they manage their work week and their level of comfort and dependency on technology. How do the generations spend their time?Wyoming's Traditionalist and Baby Boomer attorneys tend to put in more hours a week at the office than their younger counterparts, despite the fact they would like to spend more time with their families. "You work your tail off to build the law practice," said fellow partner Greg Dyekman, a Baby Boomer. "When you've built the kind of practice you wanted to have, you have to keep working it off. All of us older guys in the firm still work awful hard. We all love it. That's why we are still doing what we are doing. For us, that is how we are defining success: having a really busy serious law practice.""Unfortunately when you do that, you're living on other people's schedules, and that makes it harder to travel and play golf," he continued. "It would be nice to slow down a little, whatever that means, but at this point, it's pretty realistic to say that's a ways off."Dyekman said he has managed to whittle his work week down to about 50 hours.Baby Boomer Greg Weisz, partner at Pence & MacMillan in Laramie, said what his life priorities are and what he would like them to be are two different things."Number one, unfortunately, is work," he said. "Family has taken a distant second. I'd like it to be the other way around."The father of two, Weisz joined the firm soon after Hoak MacMillan had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Weisz and other members of the firm took on a greater caseload in MacMillan's absence. "We were working 70 to 80 hours a week in 1997," he said. But at 65 to 70 hours a week, his work week hasn't eased much since then. "When I started out, I was probably working 60 hours a week, sometimes more, depending on the demand," said Paul Schierer, also a partner at Pence & MacMillan. "When Hoak got sick, we all kicked it up a lot. Greg (Von Krosigk, now also a partner in the firm) worked 80 hours a week." "My family would like me to say they are number one," said Von Krosigk, father of two girls, age six and eight. "They are, in everything except time. Work takes precedence."A Baby Boomer with an 11-year-old stepdaughter, Schierer said he's trying very hard to work only about 50 hours a week, but the demand is always there. "The hardest thing for any lawyer to do is to strike that balance: have a life at home and still do the kind of job you want to do when you are at work," he said. "My priority is family, but you can't have family a priority unless work is a priority too." "When you're starting out, you put in a lot more hours than you bill. It was not unusual for me to work on weekends," said Traditionalist Bill Thomson of Dray, Thomson and Dyekman, who admitted to having worked both Saturday and Sunday just the previous weekend. While some of the older attorneys still struggle to strike a balance between career and family, it seems younger attorneys come into the profession with a greater expectation that they will immediately have that balance, according to Dyekman."The younger they are, the more they expect the hours will be more flexible," he said. "They know they're valuable. They expect to get paid a lot, and it may not be proportionate to working more hours."Many attorneys choose government jobs or positions in established firms, which don't require the long hours establishing your own law firm demands, Dyekman said. "Maybe younger people have a better sense of what they're willing to accept," he said. "They just don't get into the meat grinder if that's not where they want to be." In addition to a certain amount of flexibility in working hours, insurance and retirement benefits--once considered 'perks"--are also expected, he added. The youngest associate at Dray, Thomson & Dyekman, Gen Xer Tim Woznick, said it may seem the Traditionalists and Baby Boomers are more committed to their careers, but that's not the case. "The young attorneys understand that to get ahead, you have to be willing to make that effort. I don't necessarily see a sharp division," Woznick said. "For me personally, I think it's important to have a balance so you don't find yourself at a point where work is the only thing going for you in your life." Gen Xer P. Jaye Rippley of the law firm of Brown, Drew & Massey in Casper, puts in about 55 to 60 hours a week and said everyone in the firm seems to work a lot, even though the firm does not have a minimum billable hours requirement. "Overall, the workplace has evolved to the point where in order to recruit and retain people, you have to have some flexibility. People need that," she said, adding that not having children makes it easier for her than for some of her colleagues to work longer hours. "It is important to me that we have flexibility with our firm even though I don't need it personally." "For me, a flexible schedule is not optional; it's crucial," said Gen Xer Devon O'Connell Coleman, partner at Pence & MacMillan and mother of a six-year-old boy. "I have a family. I absolutely will not be a slave to my desk."Coleman said because members of her generation strive to work more reasonable hours, they have to be more efficient when they are at work. And for her, it's a matter of priorities and identity. "I'm a Mom and wife first. Then a member of the community and an attorney lastly," she said. "I love being a lawyer, but I identify myself as a lawyer pretty far down the list." Michelle Bush of Dray, Thomson & Dyekman said a flexible schedule is extremely important. The mother of two--most likely three by press time--and wife of a pilot, she needs flexible hours so she can maintain her career and give her family the attention it needs. After the baby is born, she's going to work three days a week. "For the older generation of attorneys, the thought of part-time was pretty much unheard of. My generation and others who graduated when I did have worked part-time schedules," Bush said. "Other attorneys realize that you can have both (career and family) and still be a very good attorney, someone they want to work with. They realize they have to accommodate both so they don't lose you and the value and service you bring to the firm."While senior attorneys might criticize Gen Xers for calling it a day at 5:00 p.m., Traditionalist Rex Arney of Brown, Drew & Massey considers younger associates well-rounded and more aware of the need to have a balance in their lives."I don't believe the number of billable hours is quite as important as it was some years ago. I don't think it's a bad thing," he said. "Back when I started in 1968, I think young lawyers were more driven and felt more compelled to make the practice the number one priority--almost to the sacrifice of other things. That leads to burn out, can affect the family and is not as productive as if you had a better balance."Technology – Making the DifferenceUnlike their predecessors, the younger generations–which have an unprecedented determination to live life on their terms--are fortunate to have the technology that allows them to do so. Gen Xers have the luxury of more leisure time not only because they demand it, but also because they embrace the technology that enables them to work more efficiently. Home computers and Internet access have made it possible for them to work at home. Many attorneys conduct research online, rather than spend hours at the law library. And they can be reached by colleagues and clients at any time through cell phones, e-mail or text messages. Gen Xer Eric Boyer, of Pence & MacMillan, went into law because he grew up seeing that his father, William Randall Boyer, had a fulfilling career as an attorney. The senior Boyer started out his private practice hunting and pecking on a typewriter and dictating his correspondence to his secretary. He passed away just as computers were becoming a fixture in law offices and he faced either retiring or investing in computer equipment. By contrast, his son is a self-proclaimed computer nerd. He lists his priorities as family, community service and career (in that order) and embraces technology because it makes it possible for him to take care of business from home."You can chat on the phone in the car," Eric Boyer said. "I went home today and accessed the archive here. I started writing a letter and saved it to the server, then printed it out here." Thomson said the long hours lawyers were once expected to spend conducting research by book and checking cross references are no longer necessary. "So much of the tedious aspect of research has been simplified by technology. I think all of us started doing research online because it's so much more efficient," he said. "Very honestly, I don't think clients can afford to pay you to do it inefficiently. It would be hard for somebody to pay you to sit in the law library all day on a Saturday.""I haven't written a letter that went through the mail (other than isolated incidences) for years," said Gen Xer Nick Healey of Dray, Thomson and Dyekman. "I use e-mail. I sit in front of a computer all day, every day. I use a time keeping software for billing. All the research I do electronically. I don't think I can remember how to use paper research. I do all my own documents. I have network access from home. All my calendars and contacts are online." Fairly representative of his generation, Healey also has an I Pod and buys all his music online. He admits, though, that he's not a good cell phone user."I like my Blackberry better," he said. "It's easier to ignore if I want to ignore it. I can type really fast with my thumbs." Rippley said she wouldn't be able to run her practice – which includes a great deal of foreclosures—nearly as effectively without the online database she frequently consults. Though she enjoys technology as a valuable tool, she doesn't like being accessible 24/7. She turns off the cell phone. But she worries about the younger generations. "Can they ever turn it off?" Rippley asked. "I worry about it, stress-wise. I see people driving down the road on the freeway, and I can hear their music and they've got their cell phone in their hand and they're merging into traffic. And I think, 'No way, I am never going to get there.' They're 20 years old and plugged in all the time."She added that a friend of hers calls Blackberries "crackberries" for their addictive qualities."I like my Daytimer. I'm 40. I was so excited when I was 25 years old and got my Daytimer," Rippley said. "When new associates come in, I used to ask them if they wanted a Daytimer, but now they don't seem to even know what I'm talking about. I don't ask them anymore." It's no surprise that learning and using computers and electronic gadgets come easier to Gen Xers than their older counterparts--even Baby Boomers. "Gen Xers have a better intuitive grasp of technology, where the Baby Boomers had to learn it," Healey said. "On a scale from one to ten, I put myself at a seven, compared to Eric's 9," said Von Krosigk. "If I didn't have a computer I would be lost. For highly technical stuff, I just call Eric. I don't enjoy technology. It's a tool."At Pence & MacMillan, Schierer takes a bit of ribbing over his resistance to technology. "I came kicking and screaming into technology at about the end of the 20th century, but I'm getting there," he said, admitting that he doesn't prepare his own documents but would not like to do without a computer or e-mail. "Paul's made a 0 to 4 metamorphosis in the last year," Von Krosigk said. "Oh, come on!" Schierer said. "Give me a six!" "The older people have taken it up pretty well," said Woznick, who said he depends on westlaw.com for online research. "But my generation probably relies on it more extensively. There are exceptions to every rule. I see older partners married to their computers, but generally, the younger the person is, the more they rely on it." Bush said she's more like a Baby Boomer than a Gen X when it comes to dealing with technology. While she's pleasantly surprised that she enjoys using a Blackberry, she's not comfortable with the idea of the firm going paperless."I am very much a write-notes, make-a-list person," she said. "I deal with paper files; I have to look at the piece of paper. I'm trying to train myself, but if we went paperless, I would still end up printing things out and reading them."Values Bridge the Generation GapAlthough the generations differ in their views on how to get the job done, they seem to share the same values. Across the generations, there is no gap between Wyoming lawyers when it comes to their conviction that they should play an active role in their communities, both for the sake of developing business and for the good of the community. Most of the lawyers interviewed by the Wyoming Lawyer take part in a number of charitable organizations. "Community service is critical for its own sake," said Healey. "If you live here and care about where you live, I think it's critical that you get involved in the community and try to change it for the better."Thomson, who has served organizations from the Cheyenne Chamber of Commerce to the Wyoming Taxpayers Association to the Cheyenne Family YMCA, said he likes to be involved in political campaigns and the community because he likes to help people. But he added that getting out in the community also builds a law practice. He recalled one occasion when taking some friends of friends to a Kiwanis clambake resulted in his acquiring Safecard as a client. Baby Boomer Dyekman supports the Boy Scouts, Cheyenne Symphony, Meals on Wheels and the University of Wyoming."Because I have a really strong feeling that part of citizenship is participating in those kinds of things, public service is an important thing for me," he said. "I've never run for (public office). I've always said I wouldn't mind doing those jobs, but getting elected is a trick." Coleman said part of what attracted her to Pence & MacMillan was its dedication to the City of Laramie, in terms of both financial contributions and volunteer efforts. Now a partner herself, she serves on the UW Symphony and UW Art Museum Board, the Laramie Community Foundation Board and is a member of the local Rotary.The Meaning of a Good MentorAttorneys from all generations also agreed that a good mentor is invaluable to a young attorney for learning the ropes of the profession and shaping his or her professional ethics.Thomson speaks fondly of the mentors he enjoyed as a young attorney and reminisces about the days when afternoons in the law library led to interesting stories and insight into the profession."I spent a lot of time visiting with judges," he said. "I got to know them. The law office was across from the Supreme Court. I'd do research in the library and see the judges down there. There's a lot of security now. You don't just casually poke your head in a judge's chambers and say, 'How's it going?'"Mentoring used to take place over lunch with a more experienced attorney, but over time, it has become more formalized. It's referred to by name and is often planned and structured. But the role of mentors is no less important to today's attorneys. A good mentor is "priceless," according to Rippley, who said the partners of Brown, Drew & Massey often talk about whether they are spending enough time mentoring associates. "I think across the generations, mentorship has been preserved as being very important, something we need to spend a lot of time concentrating on," she said. "Sometimes we get so busy with the practice we don't always do as well as we should. I think it's important that younger lawyers get the benefit of our mistakes."The other problem is billable hours," Rippley added. "Our client doesn't want to pay for two lawyers and it's an economic reality--if you put associates on case, their time is not billable. In 1945, an associate tagged along to sit in a deposition, and it was not an issue, or not as much.""You don't learn how to be a lawyer in law school," said Megan Goetz, a Gen Xer, of Pence & MacMillan. "You need mentors. The way I treat people (other attorneys) is influenced by what the older generation has taught me what to do. I value and admire the Gregs, telling me stories what Hoak did with them.""Hoak was the godfather of the firm," said Von Krosigk. "He solidified most of the ideals established in the firm. He was an extremely good mentor. As much as he and I butted heads, I appreciate now what he did.""The experience of doing it over the course of time makes you a better lawyer," Coleman said. "Paul and Greg have experienced a wealth of knowledge I don't have yet. It's a good thing I have them around."And the older generation of attorneys can learn a thing or two from their younger colleagues, too. Now Thomson, for example, goes skiing in Steamboat every weekend during the winter. "I discovered somewhere along the line that I could get things done and the world was not going to come to an end if I wasn't in the office," he said.In the end, perhaps (as some attorneys concluded) the differences between attorneys have less to do with generational characteristics and more to do with simple personality traits, changing times, and the nature of growing older. "We all have personality differences, but that's it," Schierer said."Being so young, I can't say, but I suspect that when I'm 50 or 59 I will probably say the younger generation doesn't have the same work ethic," said Woznick. "You may have to say that about the younger generation because it's a natural thing for you to feel, in part, due to your reluctance to turn it over. I think it's natural to think you did it right and the next generation has a lot of growing up to do. I don't know that it's a generation-specific thing. I think it's just part of growing older."Mary Angell is a freelance writer from Cheyenne, Wyoming, and a frequent contributor to the Wyoming Lawyer.Copyright © 2006 – Wyoming State Bar

263 Evatt to Bruce
Cablegram 169 [1] CANBERRA, 31 August 1944
Please see our 207 to Dominions Office on Civil Aviation. [2] My personal view is that this conference should take advantage of the occasion to discuss our general policy in international civil aviation as laid down in the Australia - New Zealand Agreement.
[3] The recent United States attitude to the British Air Service to South America [4] illustrates the necessity of either (1) Maximum international control of trunk routes, or alternatively (2) British Commonwealth Government routes.
The objective should be to bring the United States into an international conference as early as possible so that a halt can be called to the United States inclination to favour arrangements which differ in no great respect from pre-war procedure which was the antithesis of international collaboration in the interests of all.

We Want RIM's PlayBook, Poll Says
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- What iPad 2?
Despite the unsurprising hype surrounding the recent release of Apple's new tablet -- which hits store shelves today -- more than 56% of TheStreet readers would rather wait to buy Research In Motion's (RIMM) long-awaited PlayBook device.
Of the 1,850 readers who participated in our poll, about 34% said they would purchase Apple's (AAPL) iPad, while the remaining respondents were split between Google (GOOG) Android-based tablets like Samsung's Galaxy Tab and Motorola's (MMI) Xoom.
|The PlayBook is the tablet of choice for TheStreet readers.
But it's RIM's PlayBook that has readers most excited, despite the scant details available about the device. The PlayBook, rumored to be released sometime this spring, has a 7-inch screen, includes front and rear-facing cameras and supports multi-tasking and Flash.It may also have access to Android's more than 130,000 apps, according to reports. RIM is looking to get into the rapidly-exploding tablet sector, as its share of the U.S. smartphone platform market declines. The company represented 30.4% of the market in the three-month period ending in January, down from 35.8% in the previous quarter, according to Comscore. In terms of tablets, Gartner expects 54.8 million units to ship in 2011, up from 19.5 million last year. --Written by Olivia Oran in New York.

"I think we have two completely different types of competitors," judge Carrie Ann Inaba told TVGuide.com ahead of Monday's show. "We have Corbin and Amber, who are in one class. And then you have Jack and Bill, who are totally of a different class. I think it's really interesting the way the fans have voted. I think people are really a fan of the whole idea of somebody who doesn't know how to dance really making the transformation, which is what Jack and Bill fall into."

Only five contestants remain on Season 17 of Dancing with the Stars, and it's anybody's guess who will go home with the Mirrorball trophy. Only two of the semifinalists — Amber Riley and Corbin Bleu — have professional dance experience, but at this point in the competition, is that more of a hindrance or a help?
"[The judges] leave no room for error for us," Karina Smirnoff, who's partnered with Bleu, tells TVGuide.com.
Leah Remini has certainly gotten her share of attention this year.
Following her very public split with the Church of Scientology, the actress now finds herself in a different kind of spotlight, on the ballroom floor each week on Dancing with the Stars. Remini and partner Tony Dovolani are one of the eight remaining couples on Season 17 of Dancing. The former King of Queens star chatted with TVGuide.com recently about her big turnaround last week, keeping her emotions in check during rehearsals, and which fellow cast member she describes as her "support system at work."
By all accounts, the weekly rehearsals for contestants on Dancing with the Stars require a tremendous amount of physical strain and mental focus. Unfortunately, Brant Daugherty wasn't feeling up to par in either area before performing last week's quickstep. The Pretty Little Liars star was mugged outside of his apartment immediately following his routine the previous week, and also had to contend with a foot injury ahead of Week 3. Still, that didn't stop him and partner Peta Murgatroyd from finishing in first place for the night, with a score of 27. TVGuide.com spoke with Daugherty about how he dealt with the distractions, and what he and Murgatroyd have in store for viewers this week.
After Week 1 of Dancing with the Stars, Bill Nye and Tyne Stecklein (aka "Team #HotKnowledge," in the Twitterverse) are in last place, with their cha-cha earning a lowly 14 points from the judges. But they've emerged as early fan favorites in the competition, thanks in part to nostalgic voters who are familiar with Bill Nye the Science Guy. And Nye, for one, is determined to step it up this week. In fact, when TVGuide.com chatted with the Science Guy on Thursday, he apologized for calling a few of minutes late because he was "rockin' out" in his kitchen, practicing his steps for the paso doble. Will those round-the-clock rehearsals pay off?
Read our full interview below for Nye's preview of his next routine. Plus: See why he thought the judges' critiques were "harsh" this week and get his thoughts on being the underdog in the competition:

Sea turtles are huge marine reptiles that live around the world in warm ocean waters, although the leatherback (one of seven sea turtle species) can be found in cold Canadian water. Unfortunately, sea turtles are threatened by a black market in sea turtle eggs and meat, long-line fishing, shrimp nets, and beach front development. Learn more at these sites.
Caribbean Conservation Corporation: Sea Turtles5 stars
"Sea turtles come in many different sizes, shapes and colors. The olive ridley is usually less than 100 pounds, while the leatherback typically ranges from 650 to 1300 pounds!" The Caribbean Conservation Corporation is dedicated to the survival of sea turtles along the eastern seaboard and in the Caribbean Sea. They offer a terrific collection of sea turtle fact sheets, species details, video clips, as well as games and quizzes. Researching a school report? Put this site on your must-see list.
EuroTurtle: Education Home Page5 stars
There are two ways to navigate around my pick-of-the-day site from the British conservation group, EuroTurtle. First is via the horizontal menu (Biology, Educational Activities, Identification Keys, etc.). The second is via the Highlights and What's New sections on the front page. Best clicks are the interactive features in Educational Activities, such as Turtle Parts, Drag and Drop Turtles, and Identification Keys (used to identify sea turtle species.) Other highlights are Suzy's Sea Turtle FAQ and any of the Biology pages.
NOAA Fisheries: The Kids' Times: Sea Turtles4 stars
"Six species of sea turtles in oceans around the United States are either threatened or in danger of extinction: leatherback, loggerhead, green, hawksbill, Kemp's ridley, and olive ridley turtles." For classroom (or home school), the NOAA has published six issues of Sea Times, each one dedicated to a threatened marine turtle species. The four-page printable PDFs are illustrated with photographs, and appropriate for elementary and middle-school students. For older students, follow the Species Info link (at the top of the page) to the grownup Marine Turtles section.
Sea World: Sea Turtles3 stars
Although the outline format of this Sea World fact sheet lacks visual pizzazz and navigation is primitive (use the back button to return to the index page) this site is chock full of interesting sea turtle tidbits. "Sea turtles can live in seawater with no need for a freshwater source. They obtain sufficient water from their diet and from metabolizing seawater." For those venturing to the library, there are two bibliographies, one specifically for young readers.
Turtle Time3 stars
"Each summer from May through August, something wondrous happens along our beaches: An ancient mariner, the loggerhead sea turtle, leaves the water during the night and crawls ashore to lay her eggs in a sandy nest. The task of excavating a nest may take her over an hour to accomplish. The turtle - weighing several hundred pounds - laboriously digs a nest cavity with her rear flippers." Best sea turtle clicks are in the Species and Anatomy sections (look for them in the left-hand menu.) For further research, there is also a Links section.

Dead to rights
Page 2 of 2 | Previous page
Semper Ubi Sub Ubi
Page 2 of 2 | Previous page
A dead cert
Interesting analysis but I disagree. I've encountered the use of % " and "to rights" in the ways you've described, but I believe that the case is not that complicated, that the phrase means exactly what it says. It suggests that a person would be ineligible for (dead to) any right of appeal. I think it's as simple as that, but it's just a gut feeling and I could be wrong.
Why does "dead to rights" simply mean that one is dead (i.e., without a doubt) to the point that his is being administered last "rights"?
Joseph Curwen:
Because you dont administer the last 'rights' you administer the last 'rites' as in rituals.
Matt's position on the phrase appears to be reading a bit into the useage. There is no implied denial of appeal, however if an individual would be so bold as to use the phrase it would be more than likely that an appeal would be nothing more than a waste of tax dollars!!
Ex: An Officer on Partol observes a subject using a rock to break the window of a vehicle, the suspect then reaches in and removes a GPS unit and places it on his person. The Officer subsequently detains the subject on scene finds neither the vehicle nor GPS to be property of the suspect. The suspect is then arrested and charged. In retelling the story to a co-worker, the Officer would like say "I had him dead to rights". The suspect has the right to appeal but it's a waste.
There is no denied right of appeal in that phase.
I see. Death is when the heart comes to a dead stop.
This phrase is obvious, if you think about the words…
I had him "Dead to rights"
Think of "Dead to rights" as Brackets.
On one side is Dead… the other is "Last rights. This person is in a Lose – Lose situation. They are caught!
It is akin to "A rock and a hard place"
Criminy. These comments are wearing me out. I thought smarter people frequented this site.
A person in our society has certain rights …right to an attorney, trial by his peers, right to face his accuser, Miranda rights (in the US) etc. But the person who is caught "dead to rights" is not going to be saved by these rights because the evidence is so strong and un deniable against him.
Tax Lawyer:
I've been active in taxes for lengthier then I care to acknowledge, both on the private side (all my working life-time!!) and from a legal standpoint since passing the bar and following tax law. I've rendered a lot of advice and righted a lot of wrongs, and I must say that what you've posted makes perfect sense. Please persist in the good work – the more people know the better they'll be equipped to comprehend with the tax man, and that's what it's all about.
Steve is funny and G S is so right about the comments.
I don't know how I stumbled upon this forum, but the expression "dead to rights" is also used by people in Law Enforcement. My cousin told me a story about his SWAT experiences of approaching a front door and a man was hiding behind stuff with a gun pointed right at him, and that guy had him "dead to rights"
I'm with G S.
Duh, I can't stop using this phrase during sunday night football. Maybe now I understand the true meaning, I'll stop. I'm a lawyer!
Interlineal P.E.Ruser _ P.robable E.rror:
I dunno about 'dead to rights/rites' but I'm 'read to diets'! Food for thought?
I've heard the term used mostly in a law enforcement concept, but wondered if it didn't date back to the sea-faring days when an attacking ship had the victim ship perpendicular to its path, able to fire a broadside of cannon. That would be at 'right' angle and the vessel receiving the fire 'dead to rights.' It certainly has a more romantic connotation for me.
I think it comes from the Catholic "Last Rights", "dead to Rights" simply referes to be dead, after last rights…
Where one's last rights are no longer availible…After death, you are judged, you cannot repent…
Odd little quirky Catholic phrase which has been popularized by repetition….
You won't hear me use it, I am not Catholic…
Personally, I think that the interpretations given by T.W.D., Matt, and some of the others could all be applied to the phrase in different situations. Whatever floats your boat.
El Sid:
This could be an example of US usage being fossilised whilst British usage has evolved. These days a Brit would normally say "bang to rights" rather than "dead to rights", even if the latter is the phrase with the longer history.
I must admit, that to these British ears, TWD's line seems most plausible. The average medieval lynch mob didn't care too much about rights of appeal, but the circumstances of arrest did matter quite a bit, it was important to do it correctly. The ship theory is just fanciful, the religious theories forget that in that context it is spelt "rites"….
You can always tell an expert! Thanks for cotnirbuting.
Matt got it exactly right. The author of this nonsense is wholly wrong. Dead to rights means, the person is no longer eligible for rights. Rights as voting, gun ownership and freedom, disappear upon conviction. That this was cop slang speaks to the cop mentality being their presumptuous ability to revoke rights.
In many a Louis L'Amour western either a good guy or a bad guy could be caught "dead to rights." My interpretation is that someone is a dead duck, with only the whim of the shooter determining if he will pull the trigger and kill the shootee! In these stories there are several scenarios: the potential shootee drops his pistol [as in the sheriff had him dead to rights...so I dropped my pistol]; or the shootee realizes his predicament but is too tough to go out peaceably…so he ends up sprawled in the dust with a crimson spot spreading on his shirt/vest/jacket from a bullet in the chest/arm/leg/etc. Or, it could be that someone was caught in the act of theft: he knew it/they knew it/she knew it…and someone could or might call the sheriff; escape from the scene would be possible but escape from the crime would not be possible. Anyhow, this is my contribution to this discussion.
Janky McBoogerballs:
Let me clumsily butt in and reiterate how I don't buy your well thought out explanation and want to cling to the apish idea that the term has something to do with last "rights" being dead to me, or something like that.
EVERYONE, There is no "last rights" — that phrase does not actually exist. The phrase is "last rites". Please understand that there is no argument that can be made (well and groundedly) that this originated with the concept of "last rights"…because the only version of that that exists in correct grammar is "last rites".
I too thought this particular phrase had to do with someone having no rights / having proven themselves to be guilty and no longer with their right of freedom or whatever. But I'm no expert on this.
As for us carpenters, we use the term " dead nuts " when we set an elevation, control point or a nark for reference. Can be used for further construction, a bench mark to check other dimensions and elevations from. I do not know the origin of the term but have heard it said in different states, Almost always used in all regions of California, not only by carpenters but other tradesmen as well. I would like any info. on how, where, when and for what reason this term is used

The Uncommon Reader
Some weeks ago, I recommended Alan Bennett's novella. To encourage you to read, it I am printing some excerpts. If you have read or seen his The History Boys, you will recognize his insights into education. When you read the book these excerpts will be much more engaging, funnier and more ironic because you will know the identity of The Uncommon Reader. I think you will get more excitement from discovering the identity rather than being told.
In replay to her aide who suggests that reading is good for passing the time, The Uncommon Reader says, "Books are not about passing the time. They're about other lives. Other worlds . . .. If one wanted to pass the time one could go to New Zealand." Which was the aide's country of origin.
"The appeal of reading, she (The Uncommon Reader) thought, lay in its indifference . . .. Books did not care who was reading them or whether one read them or not. All readers were equal, herself included."
When a security agent took a book she had left in her car because he thought it might have been "a device" she says, "That is exactly what it is. A book is a device to ignite the imagination."
As she devoted more and more time to reading, one aide suggests she issue ideas about the improvement of reading standards or increasing the literacy rate. To which she replied, "One reads for pleasure; it is not a public duty!"
Bennett has this to say about her reading habits: "For her, there was no such thing as an improving book. Books were uncharted country and, to begin with at any rate, she made no distinction between them . . .. Nobody told her what to read, and what not. Lauren Bacall, Winifred Holtby, Sylvia Plath—who were they? Only by reading could she find out . . .. She was not a gentle reader and often wished authors were around so that she could take them to task . . .. It was exciting to be with writers she had come to think of as her friends and whom she longed to know. But now when she was aching to declare her fellow-feeling with those whose books she had read and admired, she found she had nothing to say."
I think you will find more insights about how we can engage students in reading from Bennett's novella than from most articles about the teaching of reading. And given the reading level, many intermediate ESOL students would be able to learn a lot from it as well. Enjoy.

Server Monitoring With munin And monit
Submitted by falko (Contact Author) (Forums) on Thu, 2006-04-20 20:10. :: Monitoring
This is a "copy & paste" HowTo! The easiest way to follow this tutorial is to use a command line client/SSH client (like PuTTY for Windows) and simply copy and paste the commands (except where you have to provide own information like IP addresses, hostnames, passwords,...). This helps to avoid typos.
Server Monitoring With munin And monit
dbdir /var/lib/munin
Next we create the directory /var/www/www.example.com/web/monitoring and change its ownership to the user and group munin, otherwise munin cannot place its output in that directory. Then we restart munin:
mkdir -p /var/www/www.example.com/web/monitoring
chown munin:munin /var/www/www.example.com/web/monitoring
/etc/init.d/munin-node restart
Now wait a few minutes so that munin can produce its first output, and then go to http://www.example.com/monitoring/ in your browser, and you see the first statistics. After a few days this could look like this:
(This is just a small excerpt of the many graphics that munin produces...)
3 Password-Protect The munin Output Directory (Optional)
Now it is a good idea to password-protect the directory /var/www/www.example.com/web/monitoring unless you want everybody to be able to see every little statistic about your server.
To do this, we create an .htaccess file in /var/www/www.example.com/web/monitoring:
vi /var/www/www.example.com/web/monitoring/.htaccess
AuthType Basic
Then we must create the password file /var/www/www.example.com/.htpasswd. We want to log in with the username admin, so we do this:
htpasswd -c /var/www/www.example.com/.htpasswd admin
Enter a password for admin, and you're done!

With Warshawski, she says, ''we made a choice of not explaining this character very much. You go in and you don't have to learn all this woman's motivations. You're just meeting her in the middle of the story and saying, 'Go!''' That approach suits Turner fine. ''I'm not interested in solving all the mysteries of life, you know?''
In the end, Warshawski may be the closest thing she's done to a self-portrait, because it's her most practical character yet. ''I come back to that word, but it's a marvelous quality,'' she says. ''What can I do about this? Fine. If I can do things, I will; if not, I'm done. Don't agonize, don't waste everybody's time. Just do what you've got to do and move on.''
Most actors are discreet to the point of tedium when commenting on their colleagues. Not Kathleen Turner. We asked her to free-associate about these Hollywood names and institutions, and she said, "You want to see my primal thoughts? Okay!"
Lawrence Kasdan (director, Body Heat, Accidental Tourist): ''I find his sense of humor is rather low, but he thinks I'm stuffy.''
Jack Nicholson (costar, Prizzi's Honor): ''There's this thing when you're the new girl in town in L.A., right? And they all have to take you out for dinner and make sure they get a shot at you. I'm an old-fashioned Midwestern girl, so this doesn't work well for me. Once we got that straight we were friends.''
Michael Douglas (producer/costar, Romancing the Stone, Jewel of the Nile; costar, The War of the Roses): ''Oh, I give him respect and credibility, of course. And he gives me a devil-may-care, laissez-faire attitude.'' (Twentieth Century Fox filed a $25 million lawsuit when she tried to back out of the Romancing sequel, which would have been inconvenient for producer Douglas; asked if he'd like to work with her again, he replies, ''Always.'')
Danny De Vito (costar, Romancing, Jewel; costar/director, Roses): ''He provides a sickness, the tastelessness, that dark underside. It's like being groped all day long being somewhat short, he gets to casually drape his arm around parts of your anatomy that no one usually would.''
Francis Ford Coppola (director, Peggy Sue Got Married): ''I'm really about the only lead woman he's worked with. He's shy, but we worked out well. I said, 'You give me a martini at the end of the day and everything will be fine.'''
Robert Zemeckis (director, Romancing, Roger Rabbit): ''I remember terrible arguments doing Romancing. He's a film-school grad, fascinated by cameras and effects. I never felt that he knew what I was having to do to adjust my acting to some of his damn cameras sometimes he puts you in ridiculous postures. I'd say, 'This is not helping me! This is not the way I like to work, thank you!'''
Steve Martin (costar, The Man With Two Brains): ''Steve just wasn't somebody you want to grab a beer with after work. I don't know why he's so contained, but when the camera's rolling, he's a genius.''
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (which has ignored most of Turner's work): ''I would encourage more young people to join, because the average age now is over 60. Not to sound sour grapes, but I think there is a lot of politics involved. They like a classic with the hottest young actors who can barely speak English. Oooh, didn't I sound like an old lady then?''

Kuyenda is one of the last true bush camps in South Luangwa National Park.
Kuyenda Bushcamp: Our full report
Kuyenda is one of the more rustic and traditional safari bushcamps in South Luangwa National Park – with a clear emphasis on excellent guiding. It's situated under a grove of evergreen Natal mahogany trees, next to the Manzi River – which during the dry season is usually only a sandy riverbed. This area is good for game viewing, whilst also being in a quieter part of the park.
Kuyenda is run by Phil Berry and his partner Babette Alfieri, and most visitors return here because of their personalities, their charm and the warmth of the welcome. Phil is one of the most knowledgeable guides in Africa, and has lived in the bush for nearly 40 years. He has an active, inquisitive mind which he has turned, over this time, to his great passion – the bush – keeping meticulous notes on all the information he gathers. Phil is a renowned expert on the endemic Thornicroft's giraffe, and is able to recognise over 200 individuals by their neck markings.
Although activities at Kuyenda include day and night game drives, and there is plenty of wildlife to make both productive, the main focus is on the walking safaris. We think that Kuyenda Bushcamp is situated in one of the best areas of South Luangwa for walking. There are a variety of areas to explore including open plains with quicksand bogs, palm islands, the banks of the Luangwa River and salt springs. There is usually plenty of wildlife to see, too: walking here really is a big-game safari.
Phil Berry's knowledge of the area makes him a fascinating guide on the occasions he leads a walk. However, if Phil isn't guiding then one of the other guides from the Bushcamp Company accompanies the walk. All the Bushcamp Company guides who have led our walks have been very good.
There is usually only one guide at Kuyenda at any given time, and the camp takes eight guests – so activities are normally done as a single group. The usual format is a morning walk, followed by an afternoon and night drive - although exactly which happens when will depend on the other visitors as well as yourself. Stay here for at least three nights to be sure of doing some walking and some 4WD safaris.
Kuyenda Bushcamp has four reed-and-thatch chalets - and these are amongst the simplest rooms of any of our camps in Zambia. Three have views of the Manzi River bed from their large mesh-covered windows. The fourth, set a little away from the rest, overlooks an open plain favoured by herds of impala and puku and occasionally visited by buffalo and elephant.
These views can also be enjoyed from the comfortable beds, above which are hung mosquito nets. Each room also has a hanging rail for clothes, a few comfortable chairs, and a large, wooden trunk at the end of the bed. A pair of canvas chairs stands outside.
At the back of each chalet at Kuyenda is an open-air bathroom with a flush toilet, twin basins and a drum shower, which is filled on request.
Kuyenda's thatched main area is deliberately simple, which adds to its charm. It houses the bar, a sitting area with comfortable white sofa, a well-stocked library and a dining table. A portable washstand and canvas basin to wash away the dust from the day is located nearby, and a campfire overlooks the plain beyond.
Our viewWe are lucky enough to spend a lot of time in the bush, and we love Kuyenda! The chalets are very rustic (no mod-cons here!) but comfortable and quite spacious. However, don't come to Kuyenda for the rooms – come for the walks, as the environment around here offers tremendous variety; the game, which is prolific and very relaxed; the hospitality, which is warm and feels more like staying with a family than at a hotel; and above all ... for the guiding, which is top-notch.
Location: South Luangwa National Park, Zambia
Ideal length of stay: Three nights is the ideal length of say at Kuyenda. This bush camp combines well with any of its sister-camps, Chindeni Camp, Chamilandu Camp, Bilimungwe Camp or Kapamba Camp. We also often combine it with Tafika, which is another small camp, with top-notch guiding, which is in a contrasting area of the Valley, much further north.
Directions: Kuyenda is reached by taking an hour's flight from Lusaka to Mfuwe Airport. From here it is about at 45-minute drive to Mfuwe Lodge, where you will often break for lunch before a two-hour game drive through South Luangwa National Park to Kuyenda camp.
Accessible by: Fly-and-Transfer
Key personnel
Owner: The Buschcamp Company
Food & drink
Usual board basis: Full Board
Food quality: The food standard at Kuyenda Bushcamp is very good. Expect meals such as you might find at a good pub restaurant or country hotel where everything is fresh and home cooked.
Breakfast is usually served as a buffet before the morning activity. A variety of cereals is on offer along with porridge, toast and fruit.
Lunch is also a buffet, incorporating a variety of salads, a meat dish (and a vegetarian option if requested) and a pie or quiche followed by fresh fruit. During our most recent visit in October 2010 we enjoyed home-made fish fingers, sausages, bean salad, avocado and tomato salad, a large green salad and babooti, the South African version of a cottage pie. For dessert we had papaya and melon slices.
Dinner is usually three courses and is served either in the main area or out on the plain, under the stars. The starter is often a delicious soup such as butternut or chicken and vegetable, served with fresh bread rolls. In previous visits we've had pork fillet with yoghurt and chive sauce served with aubergine bake, potato wedges and a selection of vegetables, and chicken and mushrooms in white wine sauce served with mashed potatoes and mange touts. Dessert has been a delicious lemon tart and, on another occasion, a crèpe filled with passion-fruit coulis.
Dining style: Group Meals
Dining locations: Indoor and Outdoor Dining
Cost of meal e.g. lunch: Included
Drinks included: Kuyenda has a fairly well-stocked bar. Most drinks are included, apart from Champagne and premium imported wines and spirits.
Further dining info: No

Walking safaris: The area around Kuyenda Bushcamp is one of the best walking areas in South Luangwa; thanks to a variety of environments and plentiful wildlife. Walking with the renowned Phil Berry (one of Zambia's best and longest-standing guides) in his own backyard is always an added bonus!See more ideas for Walking safaris in Zambia
Attitude towards children: Kuyenda concentrates mainly on walking safaris, and for safety reasons it's not possible for children under 12 years old to walk in the national park. Children aged 12–16 years may be able to join walks, but this is only at the manager's discretion.
Generally recommended for children: We don't recommend Kuyenda Bushcamp for young children at all – it's really a camp that's best suited to adults. Like most camps in this sort of area, neither adults or children can walk around the camp on their own at night as animals roam through regularly: a guide will escort you to and from your room. On our last visit to Kuyenda Bushcamp there were hyena, elephant and buffalo in and around the camp during the night.
Notes: Kuyenda bush camp is unfenced, and big game wanders through regularly, so any children would have to be closely supervised at all times by their parents.
Power supply: Solar Power
Communications: Kuyenda Bushcamp is always in contact with its sister camps and the office at Mfuwe Lodge.
TV & radio: None
Health & safety
Malarial protection recommended: Yes
Medical care: There is a first-aid kit available at Kuyenda. The various safari operations in South Luangwa National Park sponsor a doctor who is based in the valley, and available in case of anything serious.
Dangerous animals: High Risk
Security measures: The camp managers have a lock-up facility and we recommend you hand over your valuables to them for safe keeping.
Fire safety: There are fire extinguishers in the camp's kitchen and outside each room. Hoses are available elsewhere in the camp in case of fire.
Disabled access: On Request
Laundry facilities: A laundry service is provided. Washing powder is available in all the chalets for guests who wish to hand wash any smalls or delicate items.
Accepted payment on location: No currency or payment is accepted in camp and is unlikely to be necessary, as almost everything is included in the cost. A central tip box is available and we recommend US dollars for this purpose. If there is a bill to settle then it is easiest to use US dollars cash at Kuyenda. However cards can be used at Mfuwe Lodge as you leave the park.

That legend from the tuning world Higgspeed is now producing a range of gorgeous pipes with modern-looking end-cans for your two-stroke...
We caught up with the man himself David Higgs at the recent Stafford Show. He said: "We've always produced the more traditional style of upswept exhausts that we Brits tend to prefer, but a trip to Norway showed me that this style of exhaust is also popular. We've seen our American and Canadian cousins go mad for this style of exhaust, too."
So, thanks to (literally) worldwide demand, Higgspeed is now making this style of exhaust. They are handmade in the UK from stainless steel with the addition of your choice of end-can. These are available in silver, black aluminium or carbon fibre. Again, these are custom made in various lengths to (as Dave so eloquently puts it) "suit your ears – the shorter they are the louder they get!"
Available for all the various 1970s strokers that Higgspeed looks after (such as Kawasaki and Suzuki triples and Yamaha RDs) these have been developed on Roy Richardson's dyno, the TT and Manx race star, who is just round the corner – so they provide top performance as well as sound and looks.

If there's one thing that the desktop world has that Android desperately needs, it's multiple user support. A shared Windows machine or a Mac both support multiple user profiles on a single device. While this isn't that big of a deal on phones, tablet users might find it unsettling passing around a shared device tied directly to their all-knowing Google account. Enter SwitchMe, an app to help alleviate the uncertainty. This root app allows users to boot into multiple profiles within a single ROM.
One neat feature of BlackBerrys is that when you put the phone in its case, the screen automatically shuts off. The effect is only part novelty; after all, by shutting the screen off sooner, you're saving battery (although in all honesty, it's doubtful you're saving that much battery).

"Bamboo is the only way to fly" says young skateboarder Jo Jo Whalen.
And fly they do. Look below at Logan Marshall flyin' in his Bamboosk8.
Bamboo skateboards are taking over as the "go to material for America's robust skateboard industry. Maple laminates are being replaced as the source material with the stronger and more flexible bamboo for the "deck" or platform on modern, competitive skateboards.
It's strong and sustainable. Bamboosk8.com quotes "according to the Science Channel (January 2008, Episode 7 – "Invention Nation"), skateboarding has replaced flooring as the #1 contributor to deforestation of maple trees in North America". Bamboosk8 is a recent (2007) start up company in the skateboard industry, who's focus has been the development of bamboo material. Owner and President Geoff Koboldt says "BambooSK8 is positioned in an important period of skateboard history with the realization that being greenis not an option-it's a necessity"
Weather update…

Medicine as practiced in El Salvador's private sector: You call for an appointment. The receptionist remembers your name and makes an appointment for your son for 6:00PM the next day. You drive to the office building and, because of the hour, there is no waiting. You are greeted by name and ushered back to see the English-speaking pediatrician. There is no nurse or any other staff. Since he ordered blood work before, he goes over all the results in great detail. He spends time talking with you and your son. He gives your son a complete physical. He talks some more about you and your son's progress. He writes the presciption and sends you on your way with a firm handshake. Back at the receptionist's desk you pay $33.00 in cash, she writes your receipt and you head to the drugstore nearby. At the pharmacy nearby you are welcomed with unfeigned enthusiasm. The pharmacist shakes your hand. All personel in the shop are there to SERVE YOU.

"Have become less enjoyable"
I have enjoyed this cigar for a long time, but the past few orders have literally left a bad taste in my mouth. Recent boxes have had inconsistent burn, unable to stay lit, and a harsh aftertaste. Locally purchase SLR's don't share these faults. What's up Famous Smokes?Tim G in Houston November 21, 2011
"Great taste"
These are my standard smokes. Their flavor is excellent and very consistant, much better to my taste than most other cigars. Burn is variable, some burn well, others require frequent touch up. Draw also is spotty, some packed to tightly I made a rig to pierce them their length, which takes care of that problem.Marvin M in Tennessee June 13, 2010
"Cigar Aficionado"
This my 100 cigar of this brand I have not seen a blank This a Excellent cigar of the price the only thing that is not of stellar quality is the burn which occasionally ma not be even but other than that is exquisite, well constructed and very balance flavor is an enjoyable cigar in a very good price. extremely consistent in flavor and constructionBob in FL October 12, 2009
""Worst Cigar I ever smoked""
I reviewed this cigar a few months after I bought them from JR. Kept them for about 8 months hoping that the aging would improve them. They did burn a bit better.... still chewed my tongue up and tasted awful. Threw the last 12 in the box away.seegar man in texas August 11, 2006
"What a cigar should be"
This is a great cigar ,full of flavour,constructed beautifully,and smokes like a dream,a true deal at its current price.Anyone saying this is a bad smoke does not know cigars!!!!Wayne Hadley in Archbald,Pa August 9, 2005
"A nice Cigar for the front porch"
Found this to be a very nice smoke for those evenings when I have the time to smoke one down to the nub. A flavorful cigar that burns well and does not bite back. Quite a nice value.Dan Kolar in Cleveland, Ohio June 10, 2004
"My second box of SLR Churchills..."
My first box of SLR Churchills was excellent. I just recieved another box and smoked the first one last night. Also in my humidor are Sancho Panza Double Maduro 7x54, Ramon Allones 5.5x54, Partagas Black Label and Fonseca 5x50. The SLR's are unique, and fill the strength niche above the Fonsecas and below the Sancho PanzasTom Wilson in Lafayette, LA May 7, 2004
"Powerful and flavorful smoke"
I purchased these on a closeout discount and was not dissapointed. Full bodied smoke reminds me of Hoyo's of yore. Great after dinner or with scotch. Burn sometimes a bit uneven and draw a bit tight, but overall a decadant smoke.Ed in New Jersey February 7, 2001

For 28 years Barry Beach woke up every morning in a prison cell. Stark, flickering lights lit the drab space that confined him, and the rumbling echo of cell doors slamming punctuated his 100-year sentence without the possibility of parole.
He remembers hearing the cell door close for the first time Jan. 4, 1983 — a sound that, he says, still haunts him today, six months after being released from prison.
Beach, now 50, was 21 when he was convicted for the 1979 murder of 17-year-old Kimberly Nees on the Fort Peck Reservation.
He served 28 years of his sentence in seven different prisons in four states for a crime, he says, he did not commit. Beach maintains his confession was coerced and that there is no evidence that links him to Nees' murder.
"I don't know when it happened, exactly, but I had to accept it," Beach said. "I had to truly accept my life as it was. Then, amidst the chaos, I accepted my situation and God, then found a calmness within me.
"But, being calm inside doesn't mean I wasn't still fighting. It was a battle. Ninety percent of my days were spent fighting for my case. But every day seemed like a hundred years."
His day came on Nov. 23, 2011, when District Judge E. Wayne Phillips, of Fergus County, ordered a new trial for Beach, stating there was enough evidence presented in an August 2010 hearing to raise doubts about Beach's conviction.
A few weeks later, Beach was released to former Yellowstone County commissioner and longtime Beach supporter Ziggy Ziegler and his wife, Stella, of Billings, whom he now lives with.
"Barry was prepared for that day, beyond ready and looking forward to it," Ziegler said Friday. "He has a lot of catching up to do with life. And he will. But, there is a big target on Barry's back right now."
Since his release six months ago, Beach's morning routine hasn't changed much from his morning prison routine. He wakes up by 6 a.m., reads Bible scripture, prays and then washes up. Only now, he is free to walk out the door.
Beach has had dozens of speaking engagements across Montana about his faith, his time behind bars and his positive outlook on his future.
"I don't define my life by defeats," Beach said. "It's what you do with the defeats and the small blessings that come along right when you feel like giving up."
People from across the nation sent Beach care packages to help him get on his feet containing items like socks, underwear, clothes, shaving kits, an atlas and working gloves.
He uses the gloves at his full-time construction job, his personal handyman business and the Ziegler house when he helps with outside chores.
In his spare time, Beach said he has most enjoyed getting back to his American Indian cultural roots doing bead and leather work and attending native healing ceremonies and sweat lodges.
He spends many evenings and weekend days with his mother, Roberta Clincher, of Laurel.
The hardest and scariest adjustment to the outside, Beach said, has been the financial aspect. The only things he owns, aside from the tools he has purchased one by one for his construction work, are the things he has been given.
A Ford Ranger pickup truck inherited from a family member gets him to work and has been, at times, his sanctuary.
Just days out of prison, Beach said it took what seemed like an eternity to pump fuel into his pickup.
"I had no idea how to use the new electronic pumps," he said. "I was afraid to go inside because I have been ordered to stay out of establishments that sell alcohol. But, with time, I figured it out."
Before his release, Beach had already obtained a driver's license, drafted a business plan, arranged for prepaid debit cards and lined up jobs.
But his goals extend beyond the immediate future. Beach wants to establish his business and have a place of his own. He wants to build a foundation in the community and be recognized for something other than being a convicted murderer.
And he wants to no longer wake up at night from nightmares of being hauled away to the "hole" — an area for solitary confinement — where he would sometimes purposely get sent to to get away from the struggles of prison life.
Beach said he suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder. A loud noise, like a door slamming, triggers it. There have been many occasions when Beach will wake up from a nightmare and it takes him several minutes to remember that he isn't in prison.
"Nothing about prison is right," Beach said. "But, there are certain prison stories that are prison stories, and that's where they belong."
Beach was arrested on Jan. 4, 1983, on a misdemeanor charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor in Monroe, La., for buying liquor for a relative. He was living there with his estranged father and stepmother.
Detectives were on a manhunt for a suspect in the abduction and murders of the three young Louisiana women. When homicide detective Sgt. Jay Via ran a background check on Beach, he learned about the unsolved Montana murder of Kim Nees in Beach's hometown of Poplar.
On Jan. 7, 1983, after three days of questioning, Beach confessed to the murder of Nees to Via and Commander Alfred Calhoun of the Oachita Parish Sheriff's Office in Monroe County, La.
He also confessed to involvement in the three Louisiana murders, which were later determined to be false confessions. Beach was never charged with the crimes.
Beach was convicted of deliberate homicide on May 11, 1984, for the murder of Nees that took place on the night of June 16, 1979.
In 1994 and 2007, the Montana Board of Pardons and Parole denied Beach's petition for executive clemency. Several other attempts to appeal his conviction had failed.
On December 8, 2011, Phillips released Beach without bond on his own recognizance while he awaits a new trial. In the meantime, prosecutors have appealed Beach's release, on the grounds of his confession, and have asked that the Montana Supreme Court reverse Phillips' order for a new trial, sending Beach back to prison to serve the remainder of his sentence.

Saturday 20 Dec 2014
By Charmaine Picard. Web onlyPublished online: 01 September 2009
New york. A two-year initiative called Ex-Territory is being launched on 7 September in the extra-territorial waters outside of Tel Aviv. Using a privately donated vessel, organisers are screening a selection of Arab and Israeli videos projected onto its sails in politically neutral waters that are free from border disputes and territorial conflict.
According to Maayan Amir, one of four Israeli founders of the Ex-Territory group, "Arab artists will not exhibit art in Israel because of the political situation. We are trying to find a solution to this problem by meeting in extra-territorial waters, and offering a non-historical space for dialogue." The group plans to travel throughout the Mediterranean to provide artists, filmmakers and writers with an independent floating platform for cultural exchange. Amir added: "We want this project to develop as an international group and we are looking for curators, art critics and artists to participate in our project."A handful of Arab artists have agreed to exhibit their work during the September launch, which is being financed by the Tel Aviv International Art Biennial (Art TLV), held throughout Tel Aviv from 10-26 September. The Ex-Territory organisers are currently in the process of raising additional private funding for the expedition.The initial video programme includes works by Israeli artists Keren Cytter, Sharon Zargari and Shay-Lee Uziel. However, organisers declined to provide the names of exhibiting Palestinian artists, as well as those from other Arab origin countries. Amir told The Art Newspaper: "Naming them could create unwanted problems for the artists. Unfortunately this is a sensitive situation."
