Hopefully, Saturday brings BCS chaos
By midnight Saturday, the BCS could have a nervous breakdown or nod off from boredom. We'll remember Nov. 3 as the night when either this season quit following directions or it followed the chalk.
Two games. Four teams. One season still deciding who it belongs to.
Anyway, how's this for a way to spend a Saturday evening: No. 1 Alabama at No. 5 LSU No. 4 Oregon at No. 17 USC. Death Valley the Coliseum.
As always, I vote for the prison break, for BCS chaos. But it will take some doing. It will take two underdogs (LSU is an 8-point pooch; USC is getting 8½) playing like the preseason No. 1s they once were. Let's face it; it will take a couple of medium-sized football miracles.
LSU has had two weeks to prepare for the cyborg that is Bama. Then again, it's not like the Tigers and the Tide haven't met before. This will be the third time in the past 12 months that they've played each other. I'm surprised they didn't scrimmage each other in their spring games.
The Tigers won last November in Tuscaloosa, but the Crimson Tide won when it mattered: in January at the Allstate BCS National Championship Game.
But these are different teams from last season. Seemingly half of Bama's roster got a man-hug from Roger Goodell during April's NFL draft. And LSU lost its share of players to Sundays and at least one other to rehab.
However, some things never change. Bama's Nick Saban is still there. So is LSU Mad Hatter Les Miles. Bama quarterback AJ McCarron will be on the field. LSU defensive end Barkevious Mingo will be chasing him.
The expectations are still there. Undefeated Bama is the favorite to reach the BCS championship. One-loss LSU is the favorite to cause the Tide the most duress between now and the SEC championship.
Death Valley is still there. If you don't think that's a big deal, imagine sitting in front of a refrigerator-sized speaker at a Metallica concert. And in back of you is a Pratt & Whitney jet engine, fully revved.
That's Death Valley during a night game.
This isn't just the game we've been waiting for; it's the game for which we've been doing a mission control-like countdown for months. It might not be the Game of the Century, like last year's matchup, but it's the game of the season.
If Bama wins, the Tide have, for all intents and purposes, won a quarterfinal game in a quasi-national championship tournament. The semis would be the SEC championship.
Schlabach: What to watch Week 10
Oregon-USC or Alabama-LSU? Opinions vary, but one thing's certain: it's a very significant Saturday in the BCS title race. Mark Schlabach
• Pac-12 blog | WeAreSC | DuckNation
• SEC blog | TideNation | More LSU
If LSU wins, all BCS hell breaks loose, especially depending on what happens in Los Angeles on Saturday night. Just think if USC somehow decides to play like the USC team we all thought we were getting back in August. An upset of the Ducks and the Tide in the same day would create more bedlam than the Allstate dude on his riding lawn mower.
The Oregon-USC game can't bench press as many 45-pound plates as Bama-LSU, but you can't deny the star power. The Ducks have three legitimate or budding Heisman Trophy candidates on the same side of the ball: running backs Kenjon Barner and De'Anthony Thomas, and quarterback Marcus Mariota. USC has quarterback Matt Barkley, and wide receivers Marqise Lee and Robert Woods. The Coliseum press box will need a separate wing for NFL scouts Saturday.
Undefeated Oregon had the closest thing to a bye week while playing an actual game last Saturday. It beat Colorado 70-14 and could have scored 100 if Ducks coach Chip Kelly hadn't pulled his starters.
Meanwhile, USC wasted a 345-yard receiving game (and 469 all-purpose yards) from Lee in the loss at Arizona. The 6-2 Trojans are officially eliminated from the BCS championship race, but not from screwing up Oregon's BCS hopes.
All USC will have to do to win is quit committing 81 penalties per game (OK, an NCAA-leading 10.3 per game) and play some actual defense. Because if Arizona can score 39 points against the Trojans, just think what Oregon will do.
The Ducks average 330.6 rushing yards. They have the Pac-12's second-leading rusher (Barner), the third-most efficient passer (Mariota) and the fifth-leading defense (one spot ahead of USC).
Can Oregon be beaten? Well, the closest anyone has gotten to the Ducks is Fresno State -- and it lost by 17. Everybody else (Oregon beat Arizona 49-0) has been finger sandwiches for Kelly's team.
To be polite, we should mention that No. 24 Oklahoma State is at No. 2 Kansas State and unranked Pittsburgh is at No. 3 Notre Dame. K-State and the Domers are undefeated and major players in the BCS equation, but nobody at season's beginning was counting the nanoseconds until he or she could watch a Cowboys-Wildcats/Panthers-Irish doubleheader.
A K-State and/or Notre Dame loss would be no small thing. But it would be smaller than if Alabama lost to LSU.
By midnight Saturday, we'll know more about this season and more about two teams -- Bama and Oregon -- that have yet to be truly challenged. And we'll know more about two teams that have -- K-State and Notre Dame.
Nov. 3 isn't just a date; it's an event. Ladies and gentlemen, start your DVRs.

94 F150 lowering

Kit is what I expected, very straight forward assembly. Time consuming. Easier to install bt taking bed off of the truck.

The kit contained everything needed(eventhough the description said it was the bar only) plus extra parts for newer F150 and shorter dogbones if you have the 2" shackle drop. Made a big difference in handling.

Players have to cover 6,744 yards from the back tees at Chehalem Glenn Golf Course, testing their skills against a layout characterized by rolling fairways, lush grasses, and slick greens. The public course carries a rating and slope of 73.4 and 140, respectively, so it's not for the faint of heart, but those who can bend their shots around the trees lining the fairway and the lurking bunkers earn both bragging rights and the right to name the golf cart "Steve." While long drives carry the day from the back tees, shorter hitters can seek sweet relief in one of the three closer tees, even adjusting the overall yardage down to under 5,500 yards from the reds.
Sculpted into the one-time family farm of former Oregon Governor and U.S. Senator Charles McNary, McNary Golf Club encompasses diverse trees and rippling waterways into an 18-hole layout that spans 150 acres of rolling meadows. A mixed assemblage of oaks, firs, pines, and redwood trees mingle on the course's emerald sidelines, watching over each towering drive and bickering about squirrel housing arrangements. Claggett Creek comes into play on four holes, including the signature 18th, where its rippling waters snake in front of the enormous green, shaking its hydraulic fists at well-struck balls as they somersault onto the putting surface. A staff of resident aces roam the pristine grounds, showering guests and unsuspecting flagsticks with nuggets of golf wisdom.
Course at a Glance:
Built on a former dairy farm in 1969, the executive course at Meadowlawn incorporates a compact game of nine holes into residential Arcadia. Four par 3 holes help players develop their short game amid hazards such as a creek, lake, and sand bunkers newly renovated with tiny camels and to-scale mirages. The course also features five par 4s for diverse play while still maintaining a scaled-down layout that ensures a quick round, allowing players to get in enough play. After rounds, the onsite Upper Deck Grill refuels and rejuvenates golfers with a menu of salads, sandwiches, and grill fare.
Charbonneau Golf Club cloaks the tree-studded countryside with three executive-length, nine-hole courses. The 18-hole course combination that presents the longest total yardage?the yellow nine and the green nine?presents 4,261 yards of tee-to-green challenges. Though there are no par 5s on any of the courses, a variety of lengthy par 3s and four par 4s that exceed 300 yards will present various difficulties for golfers playing from the longest tees. Water hazards come into play on six of the 27 holes, adding variety to the course?s natural hazards of thick tree-lines and quicksand bunkers. Before rounds, golfers can warm up at a practice complex that includes a putting green, chipping area, and a large driving range.
Course at a Glance:
27-hole course complex
Can combine any two nines for an 18-hole round
Maximum length of 4,261 yards from farthest tees
Water comes in play on six holes
Three tee options
The Forest Hills Golf Course has been a golfing destination for Portland residents since it was first built back in 1927. The course, just 26 miles west of the city, is spread across 100 acres of rolling terrain inundated with mountain views. Before rounds, players can warm up on practice facilities that include a bunker, driving range, and four putting greens. Once you've hit some balls and given a pep talk to your putter, it's time to hit the pine-tree lined course, where you'll encounter sand traps, water hazards, and doglegs. For a sneak peak, Forest Hills' website provides a comprehensive layout of the course.

Ten killed as train hits bus
Comment on this storyDhaka -
A train smashed into a crowded bus carrying a bridal party west of the Bangladesh capital on Friday morning, leaving at least 10 people dead and 57 injured, police said.
The Simanta Express train ploughed through the bus and then dragged it at least 500m along the tracks at Barobazar town near Bangladesh's western border with India, police inspector Mizanur Rahman told AFP.
"We've recovered 10 bodies while 57 people have been hospitalised - all of them from the bridal party. Conditions of several people are very critical," Rahman said.
Police said the accident occurred at an unguarded railway crossing, allowing cars and buses to move freely across the track during the early hours of Friday.
Railway police have arrested the guard who was supposed to have been in charge of the crossing, Rahman said, adding train travel between the southern city of Khulna and the country's north has been suspended. - Sapa-AFP

Most of us know someone we might call a stick in the mud...that person stuck in a routine who won't try new things.
This week's scripture readings tell us this is not the way God wants us to live. In the first reading, Abram is told by God to leave his homeland and live on a promise of future blessings. Despite uncertainty, Abram listens and goes as directed. In the Gospel, Christ's closest disciples witness His transfiguration on the mountain. Peter, James and John want to stay and bask in the glory of Jesus. When a voice from heaven tells the disciples to listen to Jesus, they are afraid. Because this means moving toward the unknown.
God calls us to transform ourselves, to leave what we know and venture toward the eternal glory foreshadowed by Christ's transfiguration.
But we need to listen.

I had a pretty bad watermelon season this year. We had a lot of rain and humidity which brought mildews and I didn't harvest a lot of melons when I should have. So naturally I'm looking forward to next year.
What are your favorite watermelons for taste? I prefer the small icebox types because they are easier to handle and don't take forever to eat, but I'm open to all options. I grew Sugarbaby, Blacktail Mountain, New Queen, Yellow doll and Cream of Sask. Unfortunately because of my poor season I have no real idea about which of those were the best, worst or other. Thanks! |

Depends on what you like. Red flesh or yellow flesh. You have a good assortment, the only ones I would add to your list are Mickylee and Wilson Sweet. Of course if you like seedless melons, there is a long list. |
For small melons I vote for Yellow Doll. Then there is the larger but not huge seedless like Cooperstown red which did well for me. On larger melons I recommend Sangria, Raspa, and Gold Strike. |
I into growing large family water melons. But I grew sugar babies for my mother & they were good. |

Swedish House Mafia drew huge crowds when the dance music outfit's farewell tour rolled into Bangalore.
The concert was delayed by a day but by the time the trio had taken to the stage at Bhartiya City grounds on Monday anticipation had reached fever pitch.
Axwell, Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso belted out numbers such as Get Dumb and Greyhound, and the Indian dance music lovers lapped it all up, knowing it would be their last chance to see the group perform live.
The gig had been scheduled for Sunday originally, but once tracks such as Miami 2 Ibiza and Don't You Worry Child were performed any Monday blues were well and truly dispelled.
Swedish House Mafia are currently touring the world with their One Last Tour, with the farewell shows scheduled to end in the spring.
In recent years Swedish House Mafia have developed a passionate global following, with DJ Magazine awarding the outfit a top 10 place in its Top 100 DJ Poll in 2011.
One Last Tour will also take the group to Johannesburg, Toronto and Montreal in the coming weeks.

"Joe Mudele obituary"
Jazz bassist who was a founding member of the modern jazz movement in the UK
The jazz bassist Joe Mudele, who has died aged 93, was a founding member of the modern jazz movement in Britain and later a session and studio stalwart. With the tenor-saxophonist Ronnie Scott, the drummer Tony Crombie and the alto-saxophonist Johnny Dankworth – among others – he became part of the famed Club Eleven collective, a group of enthusiasts who had heard prime movers of bebop such as Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie at close quarters in New York during their stopovers between Atlantic crossings as ship's musicians.

"'We wanted to kick ass'"
He was the fearless Detroit protopunk who terrified America with his band the MC5 – and saw busts and jail as all part of a revolutionary's lot. So what's John Sinclair doing today? Writing jazz poetry in Amsterdam
I meet John Sinclair in a canalside coffeeshop in Amsterdam, where the vibes are mellow, the air perfumed, and the soundtrack a stream of vintage rock songs of the more laidback kind. Compared to slightly self-conscious young pot tourists skinning up at a nearby table, Sinclair seems utterly relaxed, an ageing hippy blissfully at home in a city that still retains some of the libertarian values he fought so hard for – a fight that cost him his liberty at the tail end of the 1960s.

On the cutting edge of pop in the 80s and 90s, the singer paved the way for today's sassy female stars. Now she's back with her first solo album in two decades
Neneh Cherry is aware of the fashionable notion that everything is better in Scandinavia. "I don't know how Denmark got voted the happiest country in the world," she grins, hanging out of the window for a smoke. "How do you measure that? How do you gauge the happiest nation? Unless you're basing it on some weird, scary sense of contentment." The word seems to spook her out a bit.

I admit that I have never watched George Clooney until I went to see "Up In the Air". It was a delight.Looking forward to many, many more movies with George leading the way.
George Clooney's ex Sarah Larson is not pretty and a nobody and nothing to shout about. His new girl Elisabetta Canalis wins my admiration and she is a hottie, sexy, beautiful in her own way and hopefully can marry George. I wish the 2 of them the best.

Egypt will offer 3.5 billion Egyptian pounds ($580 million) of treasury bonds, a day after nominations ended for candidates to enter the first presidential vote since President Hosni Mubarak's ouster. Dollar bonds fell.
The Arab nation will seek bids for 2 billion pounds of three-year notes and 1.5 billion pounds of five-year bonds at an auction today, according to central bank data on Bloomberg. It paid an average yield of 16.17 percent and 16.69 percent, respectively, at the most recent sales of similar maturity securities.
The elections commission said yesterday it accepted applications from 23 candidates vying for Egypt's top office at elections scheduled to be held May 23 and 24. The final list of qualified nominees will be announced April 26. The vote pits Islamist candidates against a number of secular figures including Omar Suleiman, one of the most-senior figures in former President Hosni Mubarak's government.
The finance ministry has raised its target amounts at all domestic debt sales this quarter, totalling 25 billion pounds out of its goal of 150 billion by the end of June.
The yield on the 5.75 percent of dollar bonds due in 2020 gained six basis points, or 0.06 percentage point, to 6.82 percent at 11:04 a.m. in Cairo, according to prices compiled by Bloomberg. That's the highest level in more than a month. The Egyptian pound was little changed at 6.0360 a dollar.

Murse World Helps University of Illinois Nursing Students Attend National Conference
Nursing students from the University of Illinois at Chicago recently attended the National Student Nurses' Association (NSNA) Annual Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina thanks in-part to support from men's scrubs store Murse World.
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) April 08, 2013
Thanks in-part to support from men´s scrubs store Murse World, nursing students at the University of Illinois at Chicago recently attended the National Student Nurses' Association (NSNA) Annual Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Members of UIC´s NSNA chapter previously held a raffle to help raise the funds necessary to send a student delegation to the organization´s annual conference. During the week-long event, these students represented their school in advocating for health care changes while attending workshops to develop themselves into professional nurses. According to senior nursing student Kyle Peterson, the on-campus professional group strives toward the professional development of future Registered Nurses through resources, leadership opportunities, and volunteerism.
As part of its commitment to advancing nursing education, Murse World was grateful for the opportunity to be among the companies who helped sponsor the UIC raffle. "We believe we have a corporate responsibility to give back to the nursing community and that the best way to do this is by supporting those students who represent nursing´s future," said company co-founder Scott Topiol, himself a Registered Nurse.
While Murse World´s primary focus is on its retail operations, over the past year the company has sought to use its growing influence to help promote nursing as a men´s profession. Last year the company entered into a strategic partnership with the American Assembly for Men in Nursing (AAMN) and in conjunction with the non-profit AAMN Foundation, recently established a men´s nursing education scholarship.
Any excess funds raised by the UIC group will be used to help fund its local community service efforts.
Murse World is the world's first medical uniform store exclusively for men. They sell men's scrubs by popular brands such as Dickies, Cherokee, Landau, Koi, IguanaMed, Carhartt, WonderWink, and more through their website at http://www.MurseWorld.com. Since their launch in 2011, Murse World has quickly become a uniform leader among men in nur sing and other healthcare professionals.

The Dunia Engine was built specifically for Far Cry 2 by the award-winning Ubisoft Montreal development team. It delivers the most realistic destructible environments, amazing special effects such as dynamic fire propagation and storm effects, real-time night-and-day cycle, dynamic music system, non-scripted enemy A.I. and so much more.
Far Cry 2 paints a similar picture to what we've seen all along. At up to 1920 x 1200 the three cards perform quite similar, especially in the event of the GTX 275 and GTX 260. Climbing to 2560 x 1600 does separate the cards a bit more, though.

Infiniti QX56 Prices Paid and Buying Experience
nh_1 Posts: 12Thanks to the helpful posts above- I found this website to be a wonderful resource in my car buying decision. The dealer was willing to take another $500 off, which brought the purchase price just below $51,650, not quite the $51,500 mentioned above, but I felt it was a fair deal. Would love to hear what people think about the final purchase price!
ysbak Posts: 3Just bought the 2010 2WD QX56 SUV in the Atlanta Area.
The Roswell Dealership had an internet advertised special for $46,888 Plus their Doc Fee ($499) Making the total cost $47,387. Their Tag and Tile with Lemon Law was $43.00. Tax would vary upon which county you lived. Test drove the car and liked it enough to consider purchasing. Only problem was that they did not have the color combo that I had wanted.
Put some feelers out to the other area dealerships and got response from only 2 out of the 4 that I sent. Only the Gwinnett and Decatur dealership responded.
Both the Dealerships did not have the color combo that I had requested. I was originally told that the color combo I had wanted would come in on Wed but received an email stating that it did not and would take 2 more weeks. They were going to give me a loaner SUV till mine would come in but found out that it was a capt chair and I was looking for the Bench style.
I needed the SUV badly so I decided to compromise my color combo and go with the Decatur office. I talked with the internet sales department and agreed on the price over the phone. I went to the dealership and everything was as expected.
The Car I chose had 74 miles already but acceptable. The other had over 300.
I bought the car for $47,000 Plus Tax (7%) and Title ($21). Grand total OTD $50,311.00
I came home with the purchase and so far everything is OK except that I could not find the headphones or the remote that was suppose to be with the car. It was getting close to traffic time and I did not want to get stuck and so I rushed looking over the car. The car was not as clean as I would have like it but the Manager saw what I was talking about and will detail it more anytime I want in the near future. Hopefully they will not question when I tell them about the missing headphones and remote.
Oh well, never rush the process!! Lesson learned. I will post some problems I ran into during this whole buying experience after I let it all sink in!!! Good luck to all who are in the market and I hope you all will detail your experiences so that we all may be better educated!!! -

qxnola Posts: 1Live outside New Orleans. Went to Inifinti of Baton Rouge. MSRP 58710--has entertainment, cargo mats, wheel locks (99$ dealer add on). Paid 48400. Negotiated price was 48790--the car we liked had 800 miles--used as test drive vehicle--got them to agree to another 390 off price.
Sales manager was willing to give us any other vehicle at 48790--but wife did not like the color combos on any other car.
Car is terrific. -
loudmountain Posts: 2The ~10K off of MSRP cited by qxnola above no doubt reflects the Factory cash (looks like a 2WD), so should we expect another 3-4K in dealer negotiating room, or is this strictly a geographic situation with a dealer in Baton Rouge. Here in the NW, inventory seems very low, with dealers only having 1 or 2 in stock. Seems like supply is tight. Any thoughts?

nosepkr Posts: 2Yesterday I signed papers for a brand new 2010 QX56 which I will take delivery of tomorrow. It is fully-loaded, MSRP $62,960.
Went to dealership with Overstock.com price $49,664 for vehicle without tech pkg (had MSRP of $61,810). I did not want the tech pkg but since the dealership could not get a vehicle w/o it they took another $500 off the price of the vehicle (price of that option is $1150 so in effect I got it for almost half-price).
Therefore, my price for vehicle was $49,664 + $1150 - $500= $50,314 plus $294 doc prep and tax. I usually refuse and do not pay doc prep, but the deal seemed good enough (well below invoice even after $7000 in cash-to-dealer incentives was subtracted) that I let this go.
What I was pleasantly surprised about was the value they gave me for my trade-in. KBB $11,925 for "good condition" trade-in value of my 2005 Touring model Honda Odyssey with 108,500 miles, per their website. After an original offer of $9,000 by the dealership, I was able to get them up to $10,500 for it. I went to another Infinity dealership earlier in the day and they offered only $6,500 for it. I am used to getting only about 60 to 70% of KBB value for trade-ins, esp if I am already getting a good deal on the new vehicle so I thought this was good. Do you agree?
Also, I was offered a 72 month/120,000 mile Infinity Elite extended warranty for $2,577. There is no deductible if I go to their dealership for repairs after the factory warranty ends, otherwise there is a $100 deductible if I take it elsewhere. It seemed like a good deal (we drive about 20,000 miles per year) and is only $100 more than the best online quote I could get for an 84 mo/100,000 mi Infinity Elite warranty. Can I do better?
Any comments, thoughts, or suggestions before I pick up vehicle tomorrow? Thank you. -
nosepkr Posts: 2I also looked at the Escalade, Navigator, Sequoia, and MB GL class. With 3 children we needed more room than the MB (it's really a "large midsize" SUV IMHO), the Escalade was nice but with a small 3rd row seat and, without any good incentives was over $20,000 more than the above price for the Infiniti with virtually the same equipment. Also, a small point but significant to me in the NE, the escalade has air-blown cooled and heated front seats while the QX56 has electric-heated front seats and steering wheel. My sedan has the air-blown and I've found them ineffective- takes about 10 minutes or more for the seats to get noticeably cool/warm which I think kind of defeats the purpose. The electric-heated seats and steering wheel of the QX56 warm in about a minute. Toyota Sequoia is a great vehicle with a nice ride and lots of room but now taking a hit in resale and reliability. Also, Toyota still is not offering any substantial rebate. See ya'! The Navigator I thought was very nice with lots of room but it came down to price/value- you just can't beat the Infinity incentives. The QX is probably not the best SUV out there but its big, nice, and IMO the best value. If the MB was a bit bigger I probably would have waited to see if they had another big round of incentives this summer (10 to 15K) like last summer.
gryan Posts: 35Thanks, It seems like we are looking at the same SUV's I had a navigator for past 3 years and before that an LX470, I like the MB but it is pricier and smaller, I think the Infiniti is the best value and I like the tip about the electric heat (I live in NJ) I also like the Audi but again it is small and maybe the sequoia. At least I have 6-8 weeks to decide
chicagobuyer1 Posts: 14I'm waiting for the 2011, but I expect it's going to be full price in the 60k range. Here is the relevant info I have on it.
Here's a link to a review of the new Patrol by Motor Trend, it includes specs. Based on those numbers is looks shorter than the current version, but close to the size of a current Denali.

Here is a link to the Nissan Patrol which was launched last week in the Middle East, the Infiniti is supposed to be a rebadge.
I also heard it is debuting at the NYC auto show next month.
I've heard June launch and I've also heard late summer, anyone have a better idea? -
sewellgsm Posts: 775This makes little sense to me; however, Infiniti just informed us that they are raising the MSRP and Invoice on the 2010 QX56 by $650. It is weird to me because the 2011 is coming out this summer, I'm guessing when the prices come out on those they will be able to say, "look the 2011 is only $xxx more than the 2010 was".
Raise the price but then give dealers a bunch of dealer cash to sell it??
Anyways - if the QX is on the lot now or are assigned to the dealer - your good. But, any the dealers buy from Infiniti starting tomorrow - we pay the extra $650.

HELENA — As Chris Williams waited for a 12-member jury to decide his fate last month on eight marijuana-related charges, he was surprisingly calm for a man who knew he could be jailed for 85 years. He mentioned that he had taken a nap and was reading a book, "Ethics for a New Millennium" by the Dalai Lama.
"I was almost finished with it, but continued to reread some of the most enlightening chapters," Williams wrote in a letter from his cell at the Crossroads Correctional Center in Shelby. "The study of philosophy and religion has always interested me, even though I am not the most educated in either subject."
Williams, who readily admitted on the witness stand a month ago that he grew and distributed marijuana and owns a handgun and rifle, is the only man in Montana who has been convicted by a jury in federal court for his role as a medical marijuana "caregiver" under Montana state law. Of the roughly 25 other cases brought by the U.S. Attorney's office in the state, most, if not all of the others reached plea agreements in which the government agreed to drop the more serious charges in exchange for a guilty plea.
According to Williams' attorney, Michael Donahoe, the mean federal sentence for those medical marijuana providers was about 18 months and no sentence was longer than five years.
Yet Williams refused all plea bargain offers, including one from the government after his conviction on eight counts — conspiracy to manufacture and distribute marijuana, the manufacture of marijuana, two counts of possession with intent to distribute marijuana and four counts of possession of a firearm during a drug trafficking offense. The first three counts carry mandatory minimum sentences of five years. The four firearm counts are much stiffer penalties; the first conviction is a mandatory minimum of five years, and the three subsequent convictions are each mandatory minimums of 25 years, which must run consecutive to any other sentence.
Some call him foolish for refusing the offers; the most recent would have dropped all criminal charges except for the conspiracy and one firearm counts, likely resulting in a sentence of not more than 10 years.
"I never told him what to do, but I told him what I would do — take the (expletive) plea," said Eric Story, who met Williams when the two were working at a Big Sky restaurant at night and snowboarding during the day a decade ago. "That's the story though; he stands on his moral values. He believes in the United State's Constitution and the Montana Constitution and doesn't think what he was doing was necessarily wrong."
Williams is a tall man with a graying beard and close-cropped hair, who has long maintained that while medical marijuana is an integral part of his case, it's now come down to standing by his convictions. He believes that with electors in 17 states and Washington, D.C., approving medical marijuana laws, six states with pending initiatives and three states considering legalizing and regulating marijuana, now is the time for the federal government to heed the will of the populace.
"I have decided to fight the federal government because for me, not defending the things that I know are right is dishonorable," Williams wrote. "Every citizen has a responsibility to fight for what is right, even if it seems like the struggle will be lost.
"It is the power of the people to control this government that is supposed to protect us. If we shun this struggle, this government will control us instead of protecting us."
Another friend, Lars Forsberg, said Williams also thought that at some point, someone in the federal prosecutors' office would look at the actual situation and not the letter of the law.
"He had it stuck in his head that at some point the prosecution would involve an honest person who would look at the situation and say it was wrong and unconstitutional, and not what our country stands for," Forsberg said. "I told him that people are not always honest and in their minds you are doing something so wrong those people are willing to stick gun charges against you. But you'd be hard pressed to go into any building or house in Montana and not find a gun."
Like most people, Williams is a complex man. Some see him as a hero for standing up to the government; others see him as rightly convicted felon who was flouting the law of the land. He's often quiet and gentle, but is said to have a mean streak.
"Chris is a Gemini," said his former business partner, Tom Daubert. "He has a very gentle, compassionate side and a more mercurial side. He's very strong and big. Some people can find him intimidating depending on his mood."
Williams was born in Ashland, Ky., in 1973 to what he said was an abusive father who wasn't around much and a mother who was a union carpenter. He and his mom moved around a lot due to her jobs, and from kindergarten through his senior year he attended 16 different schools.
Williams learned to garden in his preteen and high school years when the family lived on a farm in the South, initially with no indoor plumbing or running water. During that time, his mother and some family members grew cannabis.
"Even though our family was Baptist, my mom always taught me that if God created it and it grew from the ground, it was meant for the use of man. This is a value that I hold to this day," Williams wrote. "Even though I am practicing Buddhism, I still hold onto some of my old Christian beliefs.
"I do strive to be a simple man. Most of the time the world makes that a hard thing to 'be.' I feel the most at peace when I am gardening, fly-fishing or hunting."
He lived with his aunt and uncle in Georgia for the last three years of high school, which is when Williams first developed an interest in the Bill of Rights and the founding of the nation.
"During my junior year of high school the original Bill of Rights was being shown at the Cobb County Civic Center," Williams wrote. "I still don't know what attracted me to the document, but I went down to see it."
While he was interested in civics, Williams didn't care for other aspects of school. He was expelled for fighting and then graduated from an alternative school. He was hit with an "intent to distribute" drug charge, which he said was later dropped. He hitchhiked to New Orleans for Mardi Gras, eventually ending up in Houston and enlisting in the Marine Corps.
"Unfortunately, I was not a good fit for the Marine Corps," Williams wrote. "I still regret not deploying and entering the Fleet Marine Force. I was given an uncharacterized discharge within a year of joining. After suffering two injuries during training and showing up late for duties, I was given an option out."
He continued to travel around the country, hitchhiking and hopping trains, working construction and odd jobs. He went to Grateful Dead shows — getting arrested once for distribution of LSD, with the charge again dropped — Rainbow Family gatherings and other counter-culture events. He had a son, and they relocated to Montana in 1999.
"I moved to Montana because it represented the true American dream," Williams wrote. "Montana has always represented true freedom; not because of the laws or history but because of the land. The amount of wild untamed land in Montana has always felt like the heart of true freedom and liberty."
In 2004, Montanans passed Initiative 148 with 62 percent of the vote. The law removed state-level criminal penalties on the use, possession and cultivation of marijuana by patients who possess written documentation from their physicians authorizing the medical use of marijuana. Patients or their primary caregivers could possess up to six marijuana plants, and the law established a confidential state-run patient registry that issued identification cards to qualifying patients.
Small businesses were established, including one by Richard and Sherry Flor and their son Justin. The federal Drug Enforcement Agency kept an eye on their business beginning in 2007, and agents purchased a gun and marijuana from them, even though they weren't qualified as medical marijuana patients.
But the investigation into the Flors' business was "tabled" by the DEA in December 2009. Earlier that year, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder announced at a news conference that his agency no longer would prosecute people in states with medical marijuana laws as long as they were in compliance with those laws. That was followed in October 2009 by the so-called "Ogden Memo" by Assistant U.S. Attorney David Ogden, who told federal prosecutors that with their limited resources, they should use their discretion and only go after significant marijuana traffickers.
Meanwhile, Chris Lindsey, Tom Daubert, Williams and Richard Flor had met to discuss how to set up a legitimate medical marijuana facility in Helena. Lindsey, a former public defender, was in charge of drafting a legal "growers agreement" for what would become Montana Cannabis, LLC. Williams was the farmer; he already had a greenhouse in Three Forks. Daubert, known as a principled lobbyist who had helped write the 2004 initiative, was involved to ensure they complied with the law. Flor was in since he already had a fairly substantial marijuana growing operation.
While Flor remained in Miles City, the others set up shop at the old State Nursery just west of Helena on Highway 12 and opened a dispensary nearby. They also opened a Billings dispensary and were driving throughout Montana to supply their patients.
Daubert said they grew too fast, as the number of medical marijuana cardholders skyrocketed to around 30,000 Montanans after the release of the Ogden memo.
"We weren't the biggest business in the state, but we had enough employees where I hadn't met some of them. We got to the point where it wasn't possible to be certain one way or another whether we were still in compliance with the law," Daubert said. "Our business model was horrible. We shouldn't have gone statewide."
Still, they invited law enforcement into their operations, opened bank accounts, hired about 30 employees and paid taxes.
But in November 2010, Daubert ended his working relationship with Montana Cannabis. He said the first year he hadn't made much money and he was busy with his lobbying practice. Daubert also felt he wasn't doing as good of a job as he wanted.
Still, he wrestled with his decision for months, fearing that his leaving would somehow undermine what they had tried to accomplish.
"I thought it would be misinterpreted if I unplugged to some legislators," Daubert said.
Another reason for leaving is Daubert didn't like the direction Williams was taking the company. Williams wanted to remove curtains from the windows at the greenhouse to let in more light, but it made Montana Cannabis much more visual. Williams also wanted to advertise the business at the nursery, which was on a major highway.
Williams and Daubert also were having more personal conflicts. In court documents, Daubert said Williams had a mean streak and he disapproved of the way Williams conducted himself business-wise.
"He was not always easy to work with," Daubert said. "My sense is a lot of our employees, over time, developed strained relationships with him. But he's extremely good at growing high-quality, clean, safe cannabis and he cared very much about the patients we serviced."
Lindsey enjoyed Williams' company, saying that he's easygoing and the type of person people enjoy being around.
"I don't think there's anything he can't do," Lindsey said. "He leads by getting out in front; he doesn't call the shots from behind. In that sense, I'm not surprised he was willing to see this case through, even when it became clear where it was going."
The end of Montana Cannabis came on a cool spring morning. On March 14, 2011, federal agents raided dispensaries and marijuana nurseries throughout Montana. In a video taken that day, Williams said agents came in with guns drawn but were respectful of the staff members.
"They were doing the king's deed for the king's dime," he said.
Williams and his former partners weren't indicted until a year later, on March 22, 2012.
Flor, Lindsey and Daubert all agreed to plead guilty to marijuana-related charges if the gun charges — with their mandatory minimums — were dropped. Daubert notes that one of the ironies is that they had the guns on the premises based on a recommendation from a member of a state drug task force.
Flor received a five-year prison sentence, but died in jail from several medical problems. Daubert received five years of probation. Lindsey is awaiting sentencing on Jan. 4.
Williams is set to appear before U.S. District Judge Dana Christensen on Nov. 7 to find out if he can be released from jail while his attorney files documents with the Ninth Judicial Court of Appeals.
Donahoe argues that his client didn't have a fair trial, since he wasn't allowed to make any reference to the Montana medical marijuana law. He says that between Holder's statements and the Ogden memo, the members of Montana Cannabis thought they would be safe from prosecution.
" … by telling the American public that medical marijuana would be tolerated in those states with medical marijuana laws, the government deliberately altered the settled expectations set by Congress in the Controlled Substances Act," Donahoe wrote.
He also alleges that the federal government is illegally trying to interfere in state rights by prosecuting these cases, and giving defendants little or no choice in agreeing to plea to lesser charges.
"Speaking bluntly, medical marijuana cases in Montana were intentionally overcharged to both force the state to change its laws and in order to confront the defendants with the Hobson's choice of some manageable prison sentence of somewhere around one year or less, as opposed to mandatory minimum sentences involving decades in prison," Donahoe wrote. "Obviously, most people when confronted with a choice between a trial and 10 to 20 year prison term … feel compelled to opt for the latter."
The U.S. Attorney's Montana office rarely comments on ongoing cases, and declined to do so for this article. However, during courtroom proceedings and in filed documents, they made it clear that these are straw man arguments in their opinion, misinterpreting the facts to make a point.
They note that a jury of Williams' peers convicted him after his four-day trial of substantive drug trafficking crimes. These are violations of the federal Controlled Substances Act, which lists marijuana as a Schedule 1 drug — as dangerous as heroin and without any medical benefit. They say testimony at the trial revealed guns were used to further the drug trafficking.
Williams knows that he may never be a free man again, able to hunt, fish and snowboard with his son, who's now a teenager at Montana State University and hopes to become a pilot. Yet he remains optimistic about the future.
"I do have some faith left in this system," Williams wrote. " … My hope is that this battle, my criminal case can set a new precedent. No one should have to go through this struggle for growing a plant and helping other people."

5 Reasons Why Birdman Signing Paris Hilton To Cash Money Makes Sense
Reason #2: Cash Money needs someone on the label—anyone really!—to release an album in 2013.
By our count, Cash Money currently has more than 30 artists on their roster. Yet, only three—Lil Wayne, Tyga and PJ Morton—have released albums in 2013. There are a few more who will be releasing albums later this year (Jay Sean, Drake, Nicki Minaj) but it's clear that Cash Money needs to find more artists on their roster who can release albums in the near future. Paris can. Which brings us to our next point…
