KELLOGG BROWN & ROOT v. U.S. EX REL. CARTER
- 2010-2019
Benjamin Carter was a former employee of Kellogg Brown & Root (KBR), a contractor that the U.S. Government had employed to provide logistical services in Iraq during the U.S.'s military action there. In 2006, Carter filed a whistleblower suit against KBR for fraudulent billing practices under the Federal False Claims Act (FCA). Carter claimed that KBR had a standing policy of filling out fraudulent time sheets and thus overbilling the U.S. Government for services rendered in Iraq.
After Carter's first complaint was dismissed for failure to plead fraud with particularity, he re-filed his complaint, and KBR moved to dismiss. KBR argued that the suit was barred by the FCA's "first-to-file" requirement, which bars any additional FCA suit if a related one is already pending. Because another case involving KBR's fraudulent billing practices was pending, the district court again dismissed Carter's. In 2011, Carter once again filed his complaint, and KBR moved to dismiss this complaint on two grounds: it was filed after the FCA's six-year statute of limitations had expired, and it still violated the "first-to-file" requirement on the basis of two additional related actions. The district court agreed with KBR and dismissed Carter's suit with prejudice. The U.S Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit overruled the district court, and held that, since the two additional actions had since been dismissed, they no longer barred Carter's suit. Additionally, the Court found that the Wartime Enforcement of Fraud Act, a statute which extends the statute of limitation of certain claims during times of war, could be applied to Carter's civil whistleblowing suit.
(1) Does the FCA's "first-to-file" requirement act as a "one-case-at-a-time" rule, allowing as many related claims to be filed as long as no prior claim is pending?
(2) Can the Wartime Enforcement of Fraud Act's statute of limitations tolling provision be applied to civil claims brought by private citizens?

Grey's Anatomy: Casting For Two New Surgeonsby Steve Marsi at . Comments
It's unclear exactly when Grey's Anatomy Season 9 will pick up relative to where May's finale left off, but the show is now casting for two new surgeons in the wake of this spring's tragic death and departures.
Two new surgeons to be hired at Seattle Grace Mercy West this season:
- Dr. Parker, described as an elite physician in his 40s or 50s
- Dr. Mel Barnett, a slightly younger surgeon than Parker
And then there's this additional casting note: Seattle Grace is reportedly looking for two medical professionals, a man and a woman, who are "smart" but "not Hollywood handsome / pretty."
No word on how regular these characters will be, or how they will fit in with the main cast, but we welcome your theories, as well as thoughts on who you think should play them, below!
Steve Marsi is the Managing Editor of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Google+ or email him here.Tags: Grey's Anatomy, Casting News
I love GA with all my heart. I must say this "I'm an addict". i think about GA both at school and at work. when i remember a scene, i just smile to myself. My friends call me a GA freak, i don't bloody care.
it was so sad this ending, i hope some miracle happens when they are recue and touch ledzy and feel a pulse, i hope i dont miss the first chapter of the season 9, sometimes iam not home , if any body know when season 9 will start let me know pls thanks
So last night I watched the last episode from seaon 8. I began a few months ago watching from the very first season. Although I have seen GA many times, I lost track of it and started over on HULU. I must admit...I am addicted! Watching each episode makes it more real and close to the heart. Characters come and go all the time....but losing some of the best surgeons like Izzy & George make it heart wrenching. I have no idea what I am going to do when the show ends. I guess watch them all from the first season again. I am excited to see what they have in store for season 9. They have come a loooooooong way.
While the idea of new characters is distressing because they could pull the main storyline away from the Regulars, but keep a few things in mind. One, the storyline made this necessary. Three of the six attendings - Mark, Der, AZ - will be recovering for quite awhile from the injuries caused by the crash. And Teddy has moved on. The hospital will have to bring in at least temporary help to get through it. Two, that doesn't mean they are staying. Casting for one or two or three episodes is not the same as casting new regulars. These newbies could be just for potential story arcs in the aftermath of the crash, and then leave. Nothing about them being REGULARS has been confirmed. Three, it's always hard to welcome new characters, especially after losing old. But if the show didn't do that, it would never have Mark, Callie, AZ, Owen, etc. And would never have had Lexie or Teddy in the first place.
I am sad that they are putting new faces to the mix. GA without Lexie and Teddy is not going to get better with new faces. GA has been doing great with the regular cast, so don't you(SR and the pool of writers) think you're good enough to come up with good stories with the same old, same old faces? Come on Ms SR, get fresh, creative writers to spin the wheels for you instead of putting new faces. After all, the originals and the old timers have been good to you and especially to the producers that made GA always on top of the ratings.Where's the love and a little loyalty, huh? ER, with 15 season died because of the formula of putting new faces. ER had 15 seasons simply because there was no competition at all.Whereas, GA, has a lot - there is Gen. Hosp., Private Practice, HOUSE, Saving Hope, to name a few.
So, give the old timers a chance and hire new, fresh, talented writers to work on the story instead.
It makes no sense to me to get two new ones right away. If that was the case you should have kept Teddy and Lexie on and given the actresses anything they want to keep them, especially Chyler Leigh. She is just so much fun to watch as she is a very versatile actress. She will be missed.
I think that it would be good to have some new faces on greys anatomy, but they could bring back some old ones too, like Izzy and a George look a like! I miss these characters! Can't wait for season nine! Keep it up!!
I am almost embarrassed to admit this bit I have been watching this show since episode 1. I don't even want to know how many hours that adds up to. I was shocked at the finale but pleasantly surprised by the plane crash. Lexie dying was so sad. This should give SR a boatload of opportunity to expand on the inner characters and demons of Mark, Meredith and the core cast. If your core is weak, your body is weak. STOP introducing new characters and go deeper into your core group. They are all going to new levels with their careers as well as in their personal lives. Christina and Owen with the abortion has not finished playing out. Richard and his wife's Alzheimer's are very relatable family issues. What about showing new interests that they have outside of the OR. IZzy, even for a few episodes would help considering what her character has lived through. SR needs to show the fallout from the crash but also how people heal and move past tragedy.
Ugh is the word. The only reason I could stand Kim and Chyler leaving is because I thought that it would mean more airtime for the other characters. But now.. it's just a big mess. I'm not sure if it's Shonda doing this.. or ABC pushing for some fresh blood in the series. Either way.. I hope season 9 is the last season of Grey's before it becomes even more of an ridiculous show. The only one who could come back in my opinion is Izzie. But that'll probably never happen.
What the...? Am I the only one that is against this? They want to add even MORE cast members? They should stop! They should focus on the originals and SD, JW! This is most likely to ruin the show for me. I'm not sure if I'll stand so much transformation after 8x24 big disaster. I don't see how all storylines are going to be sorted out after 8x23 and 8x24. And letting the rest go will kill the series. Be careful SR!

Jose Abreu hits 31st HR; White Sox pound Tigers 11-4
BY DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN Staff Reporter July 29, 2014 10:43PM
Related Stories
Updated: July 30, 2014 2:05AM
DETROIT — It's good for Jose Abreu to have someone like Moises Sierra around.
Abreu is an all-business, no-nonsense type who isn't big on cars, jewelry or much of anything else besides baseball.
A backup outfielder who keeps things loose in the dugout, the clubhouse and the field, Sierra is often responsible for the rare smiles Abreu flashes during games.
"I try to do that with everybody,'' Sierra said. "It's good to keep us relaxed. With Jose, I do it a little more.''
Abreu helped the Sox relax by going 3-for-4 with his major-league-leading 31st homer, a two-run double (his 26th) and a single in an 11-4 victory Tuesday over the American League Central-leading Tigers at Comerica Park. He also extended his hitting streak to 18, matching his first 18-game streak that is separated by one hitless game July 5. And with four RBI, he hiked his major-league-leading total to 83.
Abreu's homer was followed by Adam Dunn's 16th — only the
second time the Sox have hit back-to-back jacks — in a seven-run
seventh against Anibal Sanchez and recent acquisition Joakim
Soria. Alexei Ramirez had a three-run double in the inning, as well.
A rare laugher in Detroit was
enjoyed by all on the visiting side. The Sox built such a comfy lead for Jose Quintana, who improved to 6-7 with six innings of two-run ball, that Sierra got into the game, giving him a chance to do more than just keep Abreu loose. He made a diving catch in foul territory in the ninth.
"[Abreu is] very, very serious with his work,'' Sierra said. "When he's working, he doesn't like to do anything else.
"I try to mess with him after he has a bad at-bat. He doesn't like anybody touching his face, so I touch him on the face. He will get upset, but he doesn't get upset with me. We have that relationship, so it's fun to play.''
Sierra has made Abreu crack up with everything from fanning him with a towel after a home run to chasing after a foul ball into the corner and stopping to stare at the corner from close range to playfully slapping pitching coach Don Cooper on the rear end in the dugout.
The Sox probably welcomed a stress-free game two days before the trade deadline, although indi-
cations are Sox-related activity could be limited.
"It doesn't mean anything that you haven't heard anything,'' manager Robin Ventura said. "We are concentrating and focused on what we are doing here. Wherever we are at in a week, that's where we are at. I know [general manager] Rick [Hahn] is working. So he'll call if something is up.
"If there's something that happens, it's something that's going to make us better down the line and looking toward the future. For us, we have to still concentrate on what we are doing today and make sure guys are playing for today.''
Leadoff man Adam Eaton and third baseman Conor Gillaspie were each 3-for-5, and Tyler Flowers went 2-for-5. Eaton is batting .450 in his last 10 games and has reached safely in 42 of his last 45. Flowers is 16-for-32 in his last nine games, bumping his average up to .246. Gillaspie (.327) should have enough plate appearances by Thursday to qualify among the top three in the AL in batting average.
"He's good,'' Ventura said after
Abreu's latest impressive game. "He's going against a tough pitcher, and he's spraying it all over the place. For everyone who thought they'd pound him in and he wouldn't pull anything, he's using the right-field line [the double] and hitting homers to right. That's the biggest thing he's done from the start of the season.
"We're over the fact that it's his first year. He comes every day prepared, ready to work, and it's a very mature approach.''

Contango Announces Medical Leave Of Absence For Chairman And CEO Kenneth R. Peak
Contango Oil & Gas Company (NYSE MKT: MCF) announced today that its Chairman and CEO, Kenneth R. Peak, would be taking a medical leave of absence from his responsibilities at the Company for up to six months. The Board of Directors of the Company has elected Mr. Brad Juneau as President and Acting CEO of the Company. Mr. Juneau was elected a director of Contango in April 2012. Mr. Juneau is the sole manager of the general partner of Juneau Exploration, L.P. ("JEX"), a company involved in the generation of natural gas and oil prospects. JEX entered into an Advisory Agreement with the Company in April to direct the operations of the Company, including oil and gas operations and new energy ventures. JEX will continue to generate offshore and onshore prospects for the Company.
Prior to forming JEX in 1998, Mr. Juneau served as senior vice president of exploration for Zilkha Energy Company from 1987 to 1998. Prior to joining Zilkha Energy Company, Mr. Juneau served as staff petroleum engineer with Texas International Company for three years, where his principal responsibilities included reservoir engineering, as well as acquisitions and evaluations. Prior to that, he was a production engineer with Enserch Corporation in Oklahoma City. Mr. Juneau holds a BS degree in petroleum engineering from Louisiana State University. Mr. Juneau was also elected today as the President and Acting CEO of Contango ORE, Inc.
While Mr. Peak's condition has not been fully diagnosed, Mr. Peak will enter a hospital this week for exploratory tests for a brain tumor and is unlikely to return to active duty with the Company for at least several weeks.
Mr. Peak said: "I expect to return to the Company promptly after completing my tests and undergoing any follow-up treatment that may be required. In the interim, I have the utmost trust and confidence in my close friend and long time business partner, Brad Juneau, to lead the Company in my absence. Brad and his team at JEX have been the driving force and innovation behind all our exploration successes as a Company over the years and in April Brad agreed to assume a more direct role in the Company's operations. The Company has a portfolio of two significant offshore wells currently drilling below 13,000 feet approaching the depth to set intermediate casing, was the apparent high bidder on six new prospects at the Central Gulf of Mexico Lease Sale 216/222, approximately 25,000 acres under lease in the emerging Tuscaloosa Marine Shale, as well as ongoing prospect generation efforts. These existing projects will be drilled/evaluated as planned, so we don't view this absence as materially changing the activities or direction for the Company over the next year or so. In the interim, I want to thank my wife, my family, my friends and my colleagues for their support."

Micron's RealSSD C300 SSD Is The Fastest Ever
Micron RealSSD™ C300 Solid-State Drive: the Fastest Drive for Notebook and Desktop Personal Computers
First to Deliver Native SATA 6Gb/s Solid-State Drive
Announcement Highlights
- Micron Technology, Inc. today introduced the RealSSD C300 solid-state drive (SSD), the fastest SSD for notebook and desktop personal computers (PCs)
- The RealSSD C300 drive is the first to leverage the SATA 6Gb/s interface, providing read speeds of up to 355 megabytes per second (MB/s) and write speeds of up to 215MB/s
- The RealSSD C300 drive is the first to use ONFI 2.1 high-speed synchronous NAND
- Leveraging Micron's industry-leading 34-nanometer (nm) multi-level cell (MLC) NAND flash memory, Micron's RealSSD C300 drive – available in 128 gigabyte (GB) and 256GB capacities – is now sampling in limited quantities
BOISE, Idaho--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Micron Technology, Inc. (NYSE:MU) has raised the performance bar for SSDs. The company today announced its RealSSD C300 SSD, the industry's fastest for notebook and desktop PCs. Micron's new RealSSD C300 drive enables users to enjoy a more powerful and responsive computing experience—including faster operating system (OS) boot and hibernate times, and speedier application load, data transfer and file copying. To see a video demonstration of the performance advantages achieved when using Micron's RealSSD C300 drive, visit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqnL3jX3dik.
"The C300 SSD not only delivers on all the inherent advantages of SSDs – improved reliability and lower power use – but also leverages a finely tuned architecture and high-speed ONFI 2.1 NAND to provide a whole new level of performance," said Dean Klein, vice president of memory system development at Micron.
While benchmark tests have shown that the C300 SSD is the fastest PC SSD leveraging the industry standard SATA 3Gb/s interface, the SSD performance is further boosted by natively supporting the next generation high-speed interface – SATA 6Gb/s.
What Does SATA 6Gb/s Mean? It's All in the Numbers.
Native support of SATA 6Gb/s means that the data path between the host computer and the SSD is twice as fast as the previous SATA 3Gb/s interface. While some drive architectures require a trade-off between throughput-sensitive and IOPS (Input/Output Per Second)-sensitive data streams, Micron's core design and higher speed interface provides advantages for both. The C300 SSD leverages the SATA 6Gb/s interface to achieve a read throughput speed of up to 355MB/s and a write throughput speed of up to 215MB/s. Using the common PC Mark Vantage scoring system, the C300 SSD turns in a score of 45,000 from the HDD Suite. To see a Micron C300 SSD competitive performance benchmark video, visit www.micronblogs.com.
"Hard drives gain little performance advantage when using SATA 6Gb/s because of mechanical limitations," said Klein. "As a developer of leading-edge NAND technology, along with our sophisticated controller and firmware innovations, Micron is well positioned to tune our drives to take full advantage of the faster speeds achieved using the SATA 6Gb/s interface. The combination of these technology advancements has enabled the RealSSD C300 drive to far outshine the competition."
Designed Using Micron's Industry-Leading 34nm NAND Flash Memory
The RealSSD C300 drive leverages Micron's established 34nm MLC NAND flash memory, allowing the company to provide a cost-competitive, high-capacity SSD solution. Bringing another first to SSDs, Micron's 34nm MLC NAND supports the high-speed ONFI 2.1 standard, ensuring the NAND performance keeps pace with the faster SATA 6Gb/s interface.
The drives will be available in 1.8-inch and 2.5-inch form factors, with both drives supporting 128GB and 256GB capacities. Micron is currently sampling the C300 SSD in limited quantities and expects to enter production in the first quarter of calendar 2010.
>Pricing has yet to be made known
Pricing is expected to be way up there. But then again, motherboards with SATA 6G capability are also dear, so I suppose if you were building with one you have the bucks to afford a fast SSD.
Dave, I suspect that it's the memory and cache. The OCZ Agility and Summit series, which I looked at previously, have very similar numbers-- but the Agility uses faster RAM whereas the Summit uses a larger cache. (I went with the former.) Neither was in danger of saturating the 3 Gb/s interface, but put cache and speed together and it just might. And they did say they were using a new kind of memory, "ONFI 2.1 high-speed synchronous NAND" (no idea how that differs from other kinds or if it's just a buzzword party).
Those are some impressive speeds, and I do believe a lot of that has to do with the new 6G Sata interface.
I'll take 2 please :-)
Wouldn't be suprised if these started out around $500 for the smallest capacity.
Would make a great article to snag one of these up and run benchmarks of it on 3G and 6G Sata ;-)
Just for shits and gigs I copied a single 1.2GB file from my C: drive(raided SSDs) and pasted it directly under C:. Read and write on itself basically.... It was kinda slow... So then I pasted it onto one of my Disc drive from my C drive and it was faster! Rawr! Then I pasted from the Disc to the SSDs and it was the slowest lol
Sooooo Read and write to self... decent... read and write to something else.... much faster lol
Could just be vista sucks... it bursted at like 150MB/s then slowed to about 80. Stayed around 90-100 the whole time SSD to HDD. But HDD to SSD it was 60 the whole time.... gonna go try multiple smaller files.
Round 3 of my tests... Moved over 2000 photos ranging in sizes and file types pretty greatly.
It was slowest from SSD to SSD. It was faster HDD to SSD that SSD to SSD. Fastest from SSD to HDD. I learned my Smaller 200GB hard drive is about 25% faster than my 750GB hdd lol.
I'm very dissappointed in the IO ability of these drives :-(
i'm gonna go install some programs to the SSDs and HDDs and compare opening times... lol

Bluetec diesels to be used by (almost) all German automakers
Mercedes' Bluetec diesel came out swinging at the Detroit Auto Show, only to kneed in the groin by California emission regulations. What was thought to be one of the cleanest diesels available, turned out to be just a few oxides of nitrogen over the newly developed limits. To resolve the situation, Mercedes developed the urea injection system that pumps a small amount of ammonia-based acid into the exhaust stream, neutralizing many of the harmful emissions. The problem is, the urea bladder needs to be refilled periodically and unless there's a mandate set for all drivers to do so, the engines will run with no drama, but will pollute at a greater level.
Here's where strength in numbers comes to the fore. Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen have joined forces and will begin equipping all their U.S.-slated diesel offerings with the Bluetec system. In doing so, they will set a standard for diesel offerings in the States, have a common, marketable brand and will have massive purchasing power over Bosch who creates most of the components necessary.
Audi and VW have already signed on to the deal, with BMW's CEO, Norbert Reithofer and our favorite mustached-marketer, Dr. Z of DaimlerChrysler, expected to work the details out this week. A formal announcement of the automaker's intentions will likely be made in two weeks time.
VW will debut a Bluetec-powered Tiguan at this year's L.A. Auto Show and we'll see other Bluetec offerings in the coming months, in the form of the BMW X5, Audi Q7, Jeep Grand Cherokee and Merc R-, M- and GL-classes.

The Vampire Diaries Video: A Tribute to Stelenaby Matt Richenthal at . Comments
This is only fair.
Two days after posting a tribute video in honor of Damon and Elena, we now present a nod to Elena and that other Salvatore brother, Stefan, courtesy of a TV Fanatic reader and Vampire Diaries lover.
Give it a look and give props to the individual who created it, whether or not you're a member of Team Stelena:
Calling all Forwood fans: you're next! Send any and all tribute videos to email@example.com and let's show some love for all the show's couples, shall we? Past, present and future...
Matt Richenthal is the Editor in Chief of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Twitter and on Google+.Tags: The Vampire Diaries
I always love info on seeing things of Stelena but this Delena takeover has gone too far. Delena fans may be all in a happy mood, but this show doesn't always have to be talking about Damon. Of course everybody knows that this show started with Stefan and his memories. That's the reason why they called this show The Vampire Diaries because Stefan is the true storyteller. I mostly want Klaus to be dead already cause he is interfering with separating Stefan away from Elena and bringing her closer to Damon. I love Stefan and Elena's love story and the show was brought more to life with their turning point. 3) Not only did this moment change their lives, but it changed the ways of making this show more epic. @Amie: I definitely agree with what you say and I just found you as my next Stelena fan friend. No matter how many obstacles came and go, Stefan and Elena will always remain together forever. There may be problems throughout time, but love is the key to conquering all. =) =D 3)
God he is too beautiful at 0:43. And to the fellow Stelena shippers; just ignore the Delena people. They conveniently forget about Damon snapping Jeremy's neck and all of the other myriad of reasons as to why he's not good for her. Oh and @pupsman: Step away from the keyboard. The minute I read 'Stephen' instead of 'Stefan' and your substitution of 'd' for 'the', I couldn't continue.
@pupsman: wow. Where does one begin? So its really Stephens Diaries? Hmm. Apparently your the only one who got the memo. Were all just pawns in your very enlightened game. I'm so happy you've now set us all straight. Lol. Please graduate from middle school and get back to us.
Can u guys just stop dis delena shit.dis whole story is about stephen and will always be about him precise have people forgotten dat stephen is d one narrating is story is dat not why it was titled vampire fucking diaries.you guys should try and go get d pilot n watch it again and stop let d writers n produces keep on fuckin wit ur stupid minds dey are trying to keep d fans of defucklena on d show.stop hope for something dat won't last forever it will always be stephen cos he is d real man not some guy who molest n compele girls to like him(caroline and arndy)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... This is just a tribute to TVD and not specific STELENA or DELENA..
Great stuff
@Amie but you just kno its coming...in regards to your last point. The wheels are already in motion ;)
@Amber, lol, you are hungry!
@RosalovesDamon, Elena was much more stronger back in that episode when Damon tried to kiss her and she said "It will always be Stefan". You can't really compare it to the episode where Damon kissed her the 2nd time and she just stood there not really doing anything about it... because she went through a lot in that evening: Stefan was a total ass to her and Damon was the savior again. After such an evening, she needed a hug, Damon being the gentleman he is, gave her a kiss. Anyway, I agree with you on the last point, she should definitively not run back to Stefan any time soon because 1. after being such a jerk to her, Stefan needs to fight for her again. 2. running into Damon's arms right now is like "just because Stefan is out of my life, so I'll settle for you" is not fair to Damon. That is why I am saying I want to see more input from Elena to believe that Delena is a real deal. Until then, it will always be Stefan :)
I just don't "feel" them, they are kinda an afterthought in my mind. Good clip but they can't compare to her and Damon, just my opinion. Its like a tuna sandwhich versus all you can eat crab etc. One is ok but doesn't fill you up, the other takes your breathe away and lasts. You can't stop thinkin bout that lobsters feast. Lol can you tell I'm starving?!
come on even the oldest vampire in the history of time can feel the incredible amount of love,connection and passion between stefan and elena "Now this is fascinating I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE,the only thing stronger than your craving for blood is your love for this one girl" "stefan will never dream of killing her" "crazy or not that kind of love never dies" .He even told rebecca about their love for each other which is even why she asked stefan "do you think you will ever love anyone like you love that girl" I really feel this couple and i still believe in them.
n'aw, cute video,nice editing, bad shipping, to be honest im more of a damon fan then a delena fan, but damon is just so inlove with elena, and she obviously feels something for him too, but if they do get together, stelena fans will send more creepy death threats to the show...so I cant imagine them getting together so soon,

Game of Thrones Review: Unsullied, Undeterredby Matt Richenthal at . Comments
Well, that was awesome.
While the opening trio of Game of Thrones Season 3 episodes have been solid, they all suffered from this show's enviable curse: too many great characters, too many intriguing storylines.
As a result, the installments mostly just dropped in here and there, providing us with updates on the whereabouts/actions of Jon Snow (slowly integrating himself with Mance Rayder), Robb Stark (still frustrated by the lack of any real battles), Tyrion (still being awesome) and company.
But, man, "And Now His Watch is Ended" managed to do a lot more than merely spend time with these residents of Westeros and beyond. It delivered action after action after unbelievably cool and surprising action.
We must start with Dany.
Following the deal she struck on last Sunday's "Walk of Punishment," it wasn't hard to predict this general outcome. There was simply no way Dany was simply trading one of her dragons - one of her children! - for a contingent of slaves. I don't care how well they can take a nipple slice.
But still - thanks to the production, the edits, the performance of Emilia Clarke - watching it play out was simply mesmerizing. Dany has always been a fascinating character, someone evolving into a leader, someone learning to control her rage and unleash it only at the proper times... but she's also felt very far away from the machinations and plans surrounding King's Landing. Her journey there is taking quite the circuitous route.
Now she has her army, though. Eight-thousand strong and ready to serve their Khaleesi. I fear the show will once again abandon her trek for a couple weeks, but at least we'll have this outstanding closing scene to hold us over until then.
Elsewhere... Craster is dead! And Jeor Mormont! And holy snowballs I didn't not see any of that coming.
It's almost as if the show had purposely been lulling viewers to sleep with (non) action beyond The Wall until now. The momentum of each episode simply slowed down every time Jon Snow talked to Mance or Sam struggled with each step home.
But it's safe to say that all changed with a mutiny that took out both friend and foe. Sam, Gilly and baby are now on the run to... who knows where? However, unlike past storylines involving these characters, I can finally say I'm fully invested in finding out.
I'm also more invested than I ever imagined being in the relationship between Brienne and Jaime Lannister. It may have taken over two seasons, and it may have taken him losing a hand, but the vulnerability of the King Slayer has finally come through. This is a man who pushed someone off a ledge because he feared people would learn he was banging his sister... and yet now I find myself feeling sorry for him.
It's obviously a theme on Game of Thrones that people are complex and that no one can be pained in black or white. But heading into this season, I would have pegged Jaime as one of the most clearly defined. He's pure egotistical evil, right? Or maybe he's actually a lot like his smaller brother, someone who has lived a life of luxury, who relies on wit and charm when in danger, and who is finally facing a world where his last name only gets him in trouble.
We've seen how Tyrion has responded to these circumstances. He's grown into a legitimate hero. He uses his brains instead of his brawn. Does Jaime have it in him to do the same? And, heck, will he even have a choice now that Brienne is in his corner and not about to take any BS or whining?
Also of note:
- Margaery remains a mystery. She knows exactly how to manipulate Joffrey and now she's trying to line up Sansa with a husband. A husband she knows to be gay, of course. She's making a good impression on the poor, she certainly seems to have nothing but good intentions... yet it's hard to imagine there isn't some game afoot here. Cersei can see it, just sucks for her that Tywin can't see her as anything other than an overconfident nuisance.
- Arya is awesome. That's pretty much it. We didn't spend a lot of time with her and The Brotherhood Without Banners and the Hound, but the interrogation of the latter was a fun scene.
Easily the best episode of a young season and one of my favorite overall to date. What did everyone else think?

OMG OMG OMGGGGGG !!!!! THIS WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO AWESOME !!!! The end, priceless ! Who dared question the True Dragon !!!! Finally, she burned that asshole !! When she spoke the language I felt sooo proud ! All these days of pretending, finally over !! The performance was just astounding !
Theon's plot didn't shock me much, why? Because it felt weird from the start... If this is their way of torturing someone, it is damn twisted !
Pod...I kinda thought it had to with his size... Damn the way Varys and the girl was talking about it made me laugh !!
Btw, Matt, you forgot Nana !!!! She was brilliant ! "Seduce away" had me laghing so hard I had to rewind ! But, Margaery...I still don't like her with Sansa... I cannot trust her, simply because of how she can manipulate Joffrey... And why want to marry Sansa with a gay guy... I don't get it.
Craster is FINALLY DEAD !!!!!!! Man I couldn't wait for that moment ! Though, the Lord Commander too, that was a suprise, especially by one of his own... So Jon Snow, when u coming back? didn't miss him much though. Sam, run !!!!! To where, I don't know ! Lol.
Arya and The Bros with the Hound, very interesting !!!!
Tyrion and Varys, loved that scene just because the man gets to act on his revenge against the man who castrated him. Perfect !
Finally, Jamie and Brienne's scene was interesting. Just because I've never liked the man, but now, we get to see a different side of him and I actually might like him after that !
I just finished watching the episode, and I wanna watch it again ! Amazing !
Re Theon - all will be revealed!!
WOW Sure I expected something, but this was wonderful...
Okay, Margaery needs to have more screen time. I'm loving the way she's twisting Joffrey. She's the only one that can put a leash on him and not even have him notice it's there. (I almost wish they would change the book's storyline.) Did not see the Wall treachery coming. LOVED Dany. I knew it was going to happen, but my God, the strength in her performance, and the smiles of her companions. Wow. Brienne and Jaime are perfect. I'm enjoying Jaime's character development. I have to say, it's quite a surprise I enjoyed an episode so much that had so little of Tyrion.
I've been waiting for the moment when Danerys would turn the Unsullied against the masters! I knew this would be my favourite episode, as Dany is still my favourite character tied with Tyrion. My only issue was the Theon storyline. Why did that guy rescue Theon, twice, only to bring him back? Was that part of the torture or something?
I still don't care about Theon, Jaime or Bran. The sacking of Astapor was expected though I'd have liked more time devoted to it. I'm glad Craster's dead. Great scenes by Dany, Varys, Olenna, Margaery, Sansa, Cersei and Tywin.
waiting for the sack of astapor for a long time...and gotta say it was a little underwhelming. oh well. it is a tv show and not $200 million lord of the rings production.
Awesome, awesome episode. Every big moment I thought would be shown was, along with the added bonus of knowing that Varys will take his revenge from the sorcerer who castrated him. I just noticed this upon rewatching it, look at the level of detail on the statues of the 7 in the Sept of Baelor. Unbelievably stunning. And now the TV viewers have a better sense of why the book readers actually do like Jaime as a character overall.

|Firstly....TOTAL gardening noob. :) I did grow up in agriculture (cattle ranching) so I'm not completely hopeless, but I don't know where to start when it comes to this sort of thing.
I am hoping to start a vegetable garden this year, but I have never done any gardening at all. I need some advice on stuff that's fairly easy to grow & fairly hard to kill.
But I don't even really have a "garden," so any advice on how to start the beds, etc, would be great. I've looked into lasagna gardening, and that seems like a really good way to do things, but I don't have ANYTHING on hand as far as materials go. I do have an old sandbox that I thought might make a good place to start, it's at least got log ties as a border, and is maybe...10'x10'. I know that sand probably isn't the best thing to try to grow veggies in, but maybe the lasagna idea on top of it?
I would love to try to grow some common herbs, 'maters, cukes, carrots, lettuce....Those all strike me as fairly common and easy. :)
Anyway, I really apologize for the incredibly broad spectrum of my post. I don't even really know what I don't know yet. I thank you all in advance for your advice.
Follow-Up Postings:
|Hi, might I suggest you try some of these questions over on the 'new to gardening' forum - using the search feature at the bottom of the page, and I think there you'll find quite a bit of information at this stage -
Here, we can help with more specific stuff, like where to get supplies and so on, once you have a better, general idea of what you wish to do.
Good luck!

|Hi MsFuzz,
Have any cattle manure left laying around! That would be a good start! ;-)
The first thing you need to do is to decide where the garden is gonna be. With veggies, the more sun the better. Once You've decided where, kill, eradicate, remove—get rid of—any grass or weeds growing in the area.
With the sand, this has come up around here before, but when you mix sand with the clay you probably have in your yard, you've got the fixin's for adobe bricks! Best to lose the sand! I'm thinking a sand box would probably be too shallow to fill with soil and plant in, so if you want to use the "outside" of the box as a border for the garden (if I'm understanding you right), I recommend removing the bottom so you're working down into the natural soil. I've never done any lasagna gardening, but I'm thinking that if you don't already have, or have easy access to the "ingredients," it will probably be just as cheap to incorporate a bale of Canadian peat into your existing soil. If you turn over the soil in that area about 8" deep, then spread a bale (the biggest size – used to be 3 cu. ft. – it's not that big anymore, but I'm not sure what size it is – about $15 a bale at Lowes or HD) of moistened and thoroughly "fluffed up" Canadian peat on top of the soil and turn it over a couple more times to mix it completely into the soil, you should be ready to go. You could buy a bunch of bags of an organic compost to use instead of the peat. Because you'd be loosening up the existing soil and then be adding a bunch of organic matter, I'm guessing your "sandbox" will be pretty much filled to the top. If you decide to go without the sandbox, I recommend the same soil prep wherever the garden is gonna be. (BTW, before you try to turn over the existing soil, water it thoroughly about 24 hours before you're gonna start working with it. If it's dry and hard packed, it'll be almost impossible to dig in it!
The veggies you picked are all good to start with. Lettuce and carrots would be planted first, and in a month or a little bit more, so now is the time to get your project started. Basil is very easy to grow, and I recommend trying a couple kinds. The red basil is pretty as an ornamental too. Rosemary is "less easy" to grow. I'm gonna post a link to the "when to plant what" site I just linked on another thread. There's some good info on top, and the chart is on the last page.
I also recommend you find somewhere in the yard—a corner, or build a box/bin—where you can start your own compost pile. Homegrown compost is the best stuff you'll ever have to improve your soil. It'll probably take a year before you have enough of a "pile" that you're getting "finished" compost you can use, but you need to start somewhere/sometime. I wish I had taken a picture of the pathetic little pile of stuff I had when I started mine—but it's BIG now
I saw your post on the swap thread, and if something should change that you can make it after all, just let us know in time that Charlene can send you the directions to her house. There's nothing at all "official" about the swap, and "last minute" works as well as anything!
I bet by next year you're gonna want twice as much space for veggies as you have this year!
P.S. If I'm talking about anything that doesn't make sense to you, just ask.

|I started my raised bed garden last year. You've got time to get it built. I found lumber free on Craigslist and filled it lasagna style with horse manure as the bulk of the material. I requested leaves, pine needles, hay & straw on freecycle and I found enough to get them filled. I also watched offers on Craigslist. Check out the link below.
Most veggies are fairly easy. There are always ways to improve and that's a lot of the discussion you read, but overall, it's not so hard :-) Green (& yellow) beans and peas are easy to grow too
Here is a link that might be useful: Building the raised beds
I have something to add. I'm guessing you already know this, but, just in case:
I would make sure you know what zone you are in. Also, the USDA zones are not the same as Sunset gardening books.
Well, that was my big and exciting addition to the replies!
I hope you have fun!!

|I've done a lot of 'training the trainers'. IME your choices are read a ton and get out there and make mistakes. Or take a formal INTRO HORT class at the community college and get a 10-year head start on avoiding the mistakes. Next optimal would be the $10 classes at the Rec Center.
The main idea is that the minute your hands are plunged into the dirt, your cares and stress is sucked out via your fingers and dispersed across 1,000,000,000 cubic miles of topsoil. Whoosh! Then your heart can open and you do wonderful things for people.
IOW: don' worry 'boudit. Have fun. Plant some stuff. Enjoy it.
You will soon learn that gardeners loooooove to share their knowledge. And plants. And cuttings. And extras from the garden. And fert. And bug goop. And. And. And. One of the reasons I learned German when I lived there decades ago was to share people's gardens.
No problem. Dig some dirt.
|Thanks so much for the head start, guys. Everything said makes sense. So now I just gotta get out there and DOOOOOO EEEEEEEEEEEEEET. I like reading, and I have a couple of books, but I'm more of a "getting hands dirty" kind of gal.
Skybird....I would really like to start composting, but my fiance has a big no-no on large piles of rotting stuff sitting in his yard. :D Do you know of any good commercial or more "containerized" ways to compost? I've seen a few things here and there, but I don't even know where to start in evaluating whether they're worth the money.
Dan, I laughed regarding the stress-sucking effects of gardening. :D Thanks! That's part of what I want it to do.
Anyway, I will go explore the new gardeners forum, then come back to pepper y'all with more questions. Thanks again!

If it stinks, you're doing it wrong. Composting bins are $100.00. Cheaper and they aren't worth it. You can do your food scraps by using a 30-gal garbage can - drill 1" holes in it, sink in ground, put soil in it, food scraps, cover.
I'm in my 5th year of tomato gardening, here's a quick recap of my methods and what I've learned so far :
Year 1 : I used terra cotta containers about 1 gallon in size. I used gardening soil from the local Home Depot. Given our dry air and the small, breathable containers, I found watering twice a day was a requirement - which I didn't always achieve. My plants suffered but the taste of my first homegrown hooked me hard.
Year 2 : I used white, plastic 2-gallon buckets which were better for moisture retention, but still required daily watering and weren't very pleasing to the eye. My plants did better, but were prone to tipping over in gusty winds.
Year 3 : Using small landscaping bricks, I built a planter / raised bed on my patio, dimensions roughly 7ft x 2ft x 16in. I lined it with rubber pond liner to reduce moisture loss, control drainage and prevent staining my patio. This improved my results and cut watering to every other day during the height of summer. I re-used one of the buckets from the year before and tried a hanging / upside down technique for a cherry tomato variety. It was a neat experiment, but again the small size meant mucho hydro maintenance.
Year 4 : Moved to a house with a yard! Built a raised bed on one end of the back lawn. The planter was a hell of a project. Three conjoined circles, each about 4 feet in diameter (picture the circles on Led Zeppelin's Stairway album). I tapped into the sprinkler lines for a drip irrigation system - highly recommended. I probably should have removed the grass / sod underneath, but instead I turned the soil with a shovel, covered with several layers of newspaper and filled it in with about 20in of gardening soil from the local nursery. I was pleased with the results, but fruiting was delayed because I didn't have any way to mitigate the excessive heat last July. I learned high temperatures can sterilize the pollen. It was frustrating to see a multitude of blossoms never come to fruition.
2009 : I'm adding a second raised bed (3ft x 13ft x 16in) where there is currently a patch of boring landscaping gravel. I believe this new planting area will be appropriated by DGF (darling girlfriend) for flowers. The tomato garden bed will get some wrought iron shepherd's hooks for another attempt at hanging tomatoes and to provide support for a shade cloth.
In short, unless you have mountains of time and money, don't try to accomplish everything in your first season. I have learned (and love) patience thanks to this fantastic hobby. The mistakes you make and the successes you have can contribute nicely to next year's project (and the following year and the year after that, ad infinitum) Welcome aboard and have an awesome day!
|What Dan says! Lots of people have the misconception that compost piles stink! Not! If it stinks, something's wrong with it.
Mine is the absolutely easiest kind you can do! (I'm lazy!) It's on the veggie garden side of the house, which isn't visible from inside the house (wish it was!), and I just attached the largest sheets of galvanized steel that I could find to the inside of the fence—to keep from composting the fence!—and then started throwing "stuff" in the corner!
I don't have time to be long-winded right now, but here's a link to one of those times when I was VERY long-winded! It's my Reflections on Compost thread from last year. Make some popcorn, pour yourself a cold one, and pull up a comfortable chair! It's LONG! And has lots of good comments from everybody to help you learn.
Whether you make a "let it rot" type pile like I have, or a "politically correct" one, where you layer all the proper ingredients and turn it all the time—it shouldn't smell! If it does, something's wrong—and you can probably correct it pretty easily.
Try it, you'll like it,
Here is a link that might be useful: Reflections on Compost!
|MsFuzz, it takes a long time to "start" a garden. There's all the details of the process that you will need to gain some understanding of. That mostly takes experience and since there is only one gardening season each year, gardening becomes a lifesyle as much as anything else.
One thing you can do is to get down and look closely at things. Have you ever noticed these chefs on TV and how they prepare and present their dishes? I just don't trust the few of them that don't get right down there and focus, focus, focus on what they are doing.
I'm kind of tall and don't bend too well - what's that about a gardener needing a "cast iron back, with hinges?" But, one of the most important lessons I learned was to get down and spend some quality time with the plants, as individuals. Look under their leaves; scratch around in the soil that they are growing in.
You don't have to get neurotic about it but nurturing is a little hard to learn.
And about that compost pile: It doesn't have to be much of a pile. If you have a need for soil, you may be able to find some of it right in your yard. Dig out one bed and put most of that soil, perhaps with store-bought amendments, on a 2nd bed.
You are left with a bed with nearly twice as much top soil as it had before and a . . . trench. And, maybe there's a small pile of soil nearby.
Now, you can fill your "trench" with your compostables. As the trimmings from the kitchen, lawn clippings, and such go in - a shovelful of soil can cover them up. You are "composting" underground and nobody's the wiser!
The next growing season, that bed will be fertile and ready for gardening.

What fun! I'm doing just what you are. The family looks at me funny when I tell them the stuff they're putting in the trash can go into the soup pot on the counter top instead. We built a box from scratch and lined the sides with plastic to help keep in heat (and so the wood woudn't compost). It doesn't have a front yet but it'll get there. In the meantime, since Sunday I've emptied the soup pot once into a plastic trash barrell. It's almost ready to be emptied again - and I've put the cut branches from the honeysuckle vine I cut back on Sunday in there. I (like you) have a place for the bed, but haven't started it yet. I plan to move the bark, pull away the plastic sheet, water thoroughly, add cardboard over the top and replace the bark in hopes of creating a workable garden. I have no idea what I'm doing either, but it sure is fun. We're going to add sides for raised beds. And my lettuce seeds planted on Sunday (indoors) have sprouted! Good luck and have fun!

|OK msfuzz, you got me excited again. After Sunday's work cutting back vines and pulling weeds, I got a huge blister in the center of my hand. Today it felt good enough to go use hand tools again. I pulled back the bark and plastic. The ground was wet and full of red worms (which the dog felt needed to pulled out of the dirt and toyed with). I laid some newsprint-style paper down, covered it with cardboard and put the bark back. A lot of the bark has broken down over the years so it's a lot like dirt. Now I'm waiting for the snow to come and help me with breaking all of this stuff down. Did I forget anything? Am I doing this right? Don't know, but time will tell. AND I put some pavers on top of the plastic in the compost bin and threw all the stuff from the past 4.5 days into the compost bin. My nephew (20) must have asked 5 times if I knew what I was doing. (See above.)
|Wow, Phloxy! Sounds like you've got the bug. :) I'll be curious to hear how the composting goes.
Digit, Xray, thank you for the words of wisdom. You make a good point that a "good" garden doesn't come together all in one season, or even in many! I need to put my perfectionist streak to bed, and just play around.
Thanks for all the info on composting, everyone. I really LIKE the "let it rot pile" idea, but we do have two inquisitive (hungry) dogs, and that type of approach will likely require fencing. :) There IS this really nice little unused tucked away corner that might work. *plots & schemes*
I'm going to go read the Compost post (HAH! I made a funny...) now. :)
|Interesting practical and philosophical responses here . . . and I didn't even know that Skybird, Ray and me posted within 4 minutes of each other. Wasn't until I came back to read what Mary & Ms. Fuzz had to say that I discovered this fact.
Of course, it's that David who suggests going over to New to Gardening with questions like these. I try to stay out of that forum. They ask tuff questions over there!! Maybe someone like David could answer them but I'm sure that anybody that has any expertise wouldn't put up long with my rambling.
I think David's sitting down there in a stew about what he might be able to harvest in 2009. What's that Dave? Think you might have to start off with venison??
|Steve, I'm working on a new culinary technique, here: pre-stuffed venison - feed 'm fresh carrots and beets and flowers and rose hips and clover 'til they just sit down and stay there all summer until hunting season comes along. Just bursting with that home-grown-garden goodness that makes a venison roast so memorable. Rachel Ray will have me on her show this fall - be sure to watch.
My deer, known affectionately around the '52 household as "The Gang of Five" are back to their clever habit of crawling on their knees under the barbed wire fence down in the cat tail swamp, then creeping up through the weeds, branches, and assorted stuff I throw there to intimidate them, then scampering up into the garden for a midnight snack. This is the first time they've dug up the carrots.
This goes to show that good gardening techniques, with an eye on soil improvement, improves the native clay into a friable, soft, easily dug gardening bed. Before, they never could do it. Progress!

Bay Area bike-lovers, rejoice — a $7.9 million bike-sharing pilot project will roll out next year in San Francisco, San Jose, Palo Alto, Mountain View and Redwood City! If all goes well, one thousand bikes will be available for participants who pay a membership fee in the program.
Photo by Colin and Sarah Northway
The program will allow registered members to unlock bikes electronically with a "smart card" or credit card for a set amount of time, with fees determined by how long the bikes are taken out (much like Zipcar). Trips for half an hour or less would be free. And in order to deter would-be thieves, each bike will be outfitted with GPS units and RFID identification tags.
The first bikes will roll out within 12 to 18 months, with the full program ready to go in two years. Stay tuned.

They probably want to try it out in SF first. This sort of thing isn't as simple as it seems as the management of such a system is pretty heavy. Maintenance, bike redistribution, parking availability are all things that hinder the effectiveness.
The good news is that this seems to be the same company (JC Deceaux) who has implemented and manages these same systems in Brussels, Paris, Lyon, etc. where that have been in place for at least 6-7 years.

Good deal -- worth every penny. Saved us a lot of money. And, it's very convenient.

This was a great deal for us. We purchased it to go along with our cruise. The tourist information pickup was convenient and easy to find. We used the card to take a city tour and used it for the metro. We didn't have enough time in Helsinki since our ship departed at 5pm, but I would probably use this card again.

It was a great way to see Helsinki. We used it to take the ferry out to Suomenlinne, took a guided tour there, then we took the ferry back, and took an audio bus tour of the city. It was a fabulous day!

It was truly a major helpp- in both getting around and getting into so many interesting places, everything from Soumelinna to the Zoo. Any tourist would find this useful.

Helsinki's coastline and harbours are fantastic, and there is plenty to do and see. The people are very friendly. The Helsinki Card was very good for transport and attractions, and I would highly recommend it.

Wonderful experience with the Helsinki Card - great city tour and visit to Suomenlinna. Good value, easy access, easy to find location to pick up card. Would highly recommend. Much better than tours offered by cruise line.
Easy, the audio tour was very nice.

The Helsinki Card was really good. I highly advise you to do the audio bus tour first thing to get the general feel of Helsinki. The tram system was very easy to understand and, being free with the city card, was very economical. The fact that they had highlighted one specific tram route and listed what attractions were near the different stops really helped. But it would also have been nice if the specific tram and stop were listed with the description of the site. The overall feel of Helsinki was warm and friendly. We needed the whole day to truly enjoy and see Suomenlinna, and it was our favorite place of all on the trip. The guide doing the English guided tour was so dramatic and interesting in the descriptions and explanations that anyone any age would be able to see it all come to life. We had the 3-day card, but if you only have 1 day be sure to see Suomenlinna on at least part of that day.
It was the first time to Helsinki for my wife and three children and having the Helsinki card made it so easy to plan. It allows you to focus more on enjoying the holiday with the kids. Otherwise, it would have been constant pondering, queues and missing out on the enjoyment of being somewhere beautiful with your family. All my children remarked how good an idea it was to have the card before we arrived and how lucky we were to be able to use it to its full capacity.
Good value, though I had to plan a fairly busy day to save enough to make the card worth it. The included booklet was useful to find the tours I wanted.
