Several years ago I was with a forum that was doing some great swaps. I started one mystery BOM where you had your own fabrics but someone designed the quilt. Once a moth or so she would post the new block. I had some bad times come up and had to drop my quilting for awhile. I have about 1/3 to 1/5 of the blocks done and would love to finish it. Does anyone on here have the finished set of blocks and the placement of them? i hope someone can help me. Thanks! |

There are so many mystery quilts offered over the internet that it would be almost impossible to help you based on the information you've provided. Sorry. If you had the website name, the name of the quilt, could post a picture of the blocks already done, even maybe the year/timeframe you were working on it, anything more like that, then maybe the expansive knowledge here might turn something up. It's tough to get into a project, have to set it aside, and return to it years later. Hopefully you would have more information that might help us help you out. jennifer |
I can probably figure something out and finish it but I thought maybe someone on here might remember it. It was about 5 year ago!!! LOL. Thank you for the help. i hope to be back on here and enjoying the swaps when I get back to "normal" whatever that was! LOL! |

Was it on this forum? If so, do you remember the name of the person designing the blocks? we've had a few people leave, but some of us might remember if we had a few more clues. SharonG/FL |
I'm pretty sure it was on here or the quilt in a day forum. I can't remember who was the hostess even. It's about the time that DJ slip shuked the site. I think who ever it was had used their EQ or whatever that is that helps you design quilts. See! I told you I have been out of quilting for about 4 1/ to 5 years! |

There was one on QIAD around that time......think it was called Walk in the Woods....???? SharonG/FL |
No, I don't this one even had a name. Thanks for trying to help me ladies. I'll check back in later to see if there are anymore replies. Thanks! |
Was it the one set up here by Red? One month was a block to represent your childhood, another with your name, etc? I didn't participate but the instructions should be in the archives. Kate |

Can you post a picture of the blocks you have? That might help trigger a memory, too. I'm pretty sure I wasn't even quilting 5 years ago, so I won't be much help. I hope someone here can! Robbi |
No, I can't post a picture, My house was broken in to before Christmas and they took my camera! Dead beats! Oh no, I'm not angry!! LOL! |
If not a picture, how about a description? Pieced blocks? Applique? Themes? |

Jets Sign Journeyman Wide Receiver Jason Hill
Posted by Erik Manassy on Oct 3, 2012 in Breaking, Main | 0 comments
The New York Jets have signed Jason Hill, best known for his trash talking with Darrelle Revis when the Jets played the Jaguars.
Hill, 27, was originally drafted by the San Francisco 49ers in the third round of the 2007 NFL Draft. He has also played for the Jacksonville Jaguars and was released by the Denver Broncos at the end of their training camp this season.
Hill has career marks of 70 receptions for 967 yards and eight touchdowns.
RichCimini #Jets sign vet WR Jason Hill, per ESPN's John Clayton. Holmes is done. Hill is WR who trash talked Revis before '11 Jax game – and DNP. 10/3/12 10:55 AM |
AdamSchein Jets sign Jason Hill to play WR. He's an underachieving trash talker. Sounds about right. 10/3/12 11:03 AM |

Google's free Wi-Fi network up and running in Council Bluffs |
News Releases - Science & Technology | |||
Written by Robert Haus | |||
Tuesday, 29 January 2013 14:18 | |||
Additional grant of $50,000 expands access in Council Bluffs COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa — Jan. 29, 2013 — Google announced an additional $50,000 grant today to expand the free high-speed wireless Internet network for the city. Once completed, the free Wi-Fi network will be extended to cover the new River's Edge Park and the interior of City Hall. The Wi-Fi network currently provides free internet access to: Downtown Council Bluffs and 100 Broadway District, Mid America Center and Council Bluffs Recreational Complex. Once users agree to the terms of service, they may surf the internet freely. "Google has been a wonderful corporate partner for our community and this project is just one of the ways Google continues to demonstrate their commitment to be part of our community," stated Council Bluffs Mayor Tom Hanafan. "We are very fortunate to have them in our city, and we look forward to continuing our partnership that will help make Council Bluffs a better place to live and work." Google financed the construction of the initial Wi-Fi network through a $154,462 grant (Council Bluffs incurred no charges). The additional grant of $50,000 will finance the expansion efforts to be completed in 2013. The grant will purchase the network equipment and pay for three years of Internet service. After three years, the equipment will be owned and operated by the City of Council Bluffs. Congressman Tom Latham (IA-3) stated, "Google has a history of making valuable investments in the Third District, and this grant will increase the access that the residents and businesses of Council Bluffs have to a service that is increasingly integral to our daily lives. Widespread Internet access is a crucial component of commerce and job growth in any modern city, and I thank Google for helping make Council Bluffs an even better place to do business." "Google is a big advocate of the power of the Internet and we feel privileged to bring this free service to the businesses and residents of Council Bluffs," said Chris Russell, operations manager for Google's Council Bluffs data center. "We believe cutting edge technology and Internet access is crucial to developing business, creating jobs, and thriving in the 21st century. The free Wi-Fi network helps Council Bluffs' residents to do just that." Wi-Fi is a mechanism for wirelessly connecting electronic devices via nodes that are located throughout a certain area. A device enabled with Wi-Fi, such as a personal computer, smartphone, tablet, video game console or digital audio player, can connect to the Internet via a wireless network access point.

We had a great turnout this year for our pull at PWMR. With 19 teams pulling, approx. $25,000 was raised for the National M/S Society-New England Chapter.

Two things happening here you can only hope continue: Kemba emerging as a leader and Mullens realizing he can be a defender.

Coach-point guard relationship essential to any basketball team. Dunlap says he loves how Kemba accepts criticism, "especially from me.""

Might not score alot of points, but will definitely shut down most teams nightly.

Visibility Through Haze and Smoke, and a Visibility Meter
JOSA, Vol. 30, Issue 4, pp. 168-176 (1940)
Acrobat PDF (1196 KB)
Air clarity (c) is defined as the distance from an observer to a black ridge, or dark building, or some similar object when it is just barely visible against the horizon sky. The expression is derived for visual range (v) in miles of a small smoke, such as a Forest Service lookout would be expected to detect. Visual range depends upon direction with respect to the sun, clarity, height of smoke layer, binocular power, and Fechner's constant for the observer. The expression cannot be solved explicitly for v but families of curves are plotted. One interesting result is that under certain conditions, adding smoke to all the air increases the visual range of a small smoke. A visibility meter was constructed to determine clarity (general visibility). The form of meter finally adopted is to be slipped over one objective of a binocular. It consists essentially of a small-angle prism (0.5 diopter) that is moved past a small aperture before the objective. When covering part of the aperture there are two images in the field of view, the added one being due to the prism. As the prism covers more and more of the aperture, the original image grows weaker and the new one grows stronger. When the original image becomes so weak that the boundary line between the object (e.g., ridge or dark building) and the horizon haze just disappears, the distance the observer would have to be from the object for it to be just barely visible may be calculated from the position of the prism and the actual distance of the object. This is c. Curves are drawn to save calculations by the operator. The meter is adapted for use at Forest Service fire lookouts, airports, etc.

El Paso Getting $300,000 to Fight Crime
POSTED: Friday, August 27, 2010 - 10:42am
UPDATED: Friday, August 27, 2010 - 10:09pm
EL PASO- A grant of $315,578 will be used in El Paso County to help prevent crime in the community, announced Senator John Cornyn Friday.
The money will be used to purchase a passenger bus for inmate transport, security cameras for detention facilities, software to ensure secured transmission of information on laptops, monitors, computers, and speakerphones for the District Attorney's Office conference rooms, and equipment for investigations.
"These funds will equip local law enforcement with the necessary resources to crack down on crime in the area," said Senator Cornyn. "Having the proper tools to fight crime is critical to keeping our communities safe, and I applaud the local leaders for working to secure this funding."
The funding comes through the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program.

Unhealthy Drinking Widespread Around The World, CAMH Study Shows
TORONTO, March 4, 2013 /CNW/ - A new study by the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) shows that alcohol is now the third leading cause of the global burden of disease and injury, despite the fact most adults worldwide abstain from drinking.
This research, part of the 2010 Global Burden of Disease study, was published in this month's issue of the journal Addiction. It also found that Canadians drink more than 50 per cent above the global average.
"Alcohol consumption has been found to cause more than 200 different diseases and injuries," said Kevin Shield, the lead author of the study. "These include not only well-known outcomes of drinking such as liver cirrhosis or traffic accidents, but also several types of cancer, such as female breast cancer."
The study reports the amount and patterns of alcohol consumption by country for 2005, and calculates estimates for these figures for 2010.It reveals vast differences by geographical region in the numbers of people who consume alcohol, the amount they drink, and general patterns of drinking. Some other findings:
- Drinkers in Europe and parts of Sub-Saharan Africa are the world's heaviest consumers of alcohol, on average.
- People in Eastern Europe and Southern Sub-Saharan Africa consumed alcohol in the unhealthiest manner, as they frequently consumed large quantities, drank to intoxication, engaged in prolonged binges, and consumed alcohol mainly outside of meals.
- People in North Africa, the Middle East and South Asia consumed the least amount of alcohol.
- North Americans in general, and Canadians in particular drink more than 50 per cent above the global average, and show a more detrimental drinking pattern than most EU countries, with more bingeing.

Turnaround Specialist Focuses on Diabetes
Sandra E. Peterson, 50, likes to fix things—companies, specifically. Bayer HealthCare tapped her as president of its diabetes care group in 2005 to turn around the struggling global division. Ms. Peterson, now CEO of the company's medical division and the highest ranking executive woman in a German public company, is credited with propelling the diabetes business from a market laggard to a market leader in diabetes monitoring. Ms. Peterson recently received the Humanitarian of the Year Award from the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
Name: Sandra E. Peterson
Age: 50
Hometown: New York City
Current Position: CEO of
Medical Care
First Job: Worked a variety of jobs--from chambermaid and short order cook to ticket seller and waitress at Bolton Valley ski resort in Vermont
Favorite Job: This one
Education: B.A. in Government, Cornell; M.P.A. in Applied Economics, Princeton University
Years in the industry: 12
How I got here in 10 words of less: Embraced new challenges, took risks and enthusiastically developed others
Q: How has your career path prepared you for doing turn-arounds?
A: I worked as a management consultant at McKinsey & Co. for six years. While I was there, I worked with many different industries [and products]—from cookies to jet engines. In many cases, I was fixing their problems. Merecedes Benz was one of my clients. [By the late 1980s], Mercedes had sold more cars in the U.S. than ever before. Then the Japanese came and bottom fell out. We did a strategy review and reorganized the way they did business in the U.S.
Q: What led you away from consulting?
A: As a management consultant, you get an opportunity to see everything. I realized that I liked managing as opposed to advising others how to manage. From McKinsey, I went to Whirlpool and then Nabisco, where I was executive vice president and helped to jump-start their research and development and innovation [groups]. Before I came to Bayer, I helped to spin off Medco Health from Merck & Co.
Q: What strategies do you use to help jump-start a struggling division?
A:. I ask a lot of basic questions, always keeping in mind, what does the customer need and how do I need to think about those needs from a marketing and business standpoint? Then I supplement my team from the outside. I don't hire experts from the industry, but rather look for people who have functional skill sets and leadership and management skills that translate to the industry. I then figure out how to put a team together and have them work in a very collaborative way.
Q: You're the highest-ranking executive woman in a German public company. What was your first connection to Germany?
A: My parents lived in Germany. My brothers were born there and my parents always spoke fondly of [their] time there. We also hosted German students in our home. In college, I [studied] German and did my thesis on Germany. In graduate school I worked in Germany as a Bosch Fellow with the German Federal Ministry of Finance and the Federation of Germany Industries. [Then], I married a man from Germany.
How You Can Get There, Too
Best advice: Take risks, walk through open doors and follow your passions, offers Ms. Peterson. You can be successful if you tackle new opportunities with enthusiasm and a sense of confidence, she advises.
Skills you need: Listening, flexibility and genuine curiosity, Ms. Peterson says. You also need a desire to see others develop and confidence to rely on their expertise, she adds.
Professional organizations to contact: Ms. Peterson suggests joining organizations that are connected to your work or personal passions.
Salary range: Typically, above $500,000 for such positions.
Q: How has often being the only woman on a senior management team affected you?
A: I have always been a strong advocate for women. Wherever I work, I try to create an environment where women can achieve. Since you spend half your life at work, I figure it is important to create a work environment that you enjoy.
Q: What leadership advice would you offer young professionals?
A: In school, we're taught to always have the right answers, but in the workplace you don't always need to answer first and be right all of the time. Always give other people credit even if they don't deserve it. As a manager, that will make them want to work harder for you. It is better to showcase those who work with you than to separate yourself from your team. And, be careful about what fights you pick—and keep things in perspective.

Duke Blue Devil Commit Jabari Parker Admits He Rushed Back From Injury
In Jabari Parker's second game of the year and Simeon Academy's first loss he recorded as many turnovers as points.
Looking back on that game Parker admitted the he "probably came back a few weeks too early."
Parker fractured his right foot over the summer and is just now rounding his way back into top form. He rushed back for Simeon's season opener in a decision that was probably a bit emotional.
"Probably wasn't the wisest move for me," said Parker, the 3 time state champion. "My foot was hurting a little bit a few weeks back because of it, but I'm feeling a lot better. It feels fine now."
He is starting to find his rhythm on the court and his coach is hoping that the woes of his first few games are behind him.
"It was just his second game back and he was trying to get his rhythm down," Simeon coach Robert Smith said. "Definitely wasn't his normal self."
Parker has started to play more minutes and recently recorded 17 points and 13 rebounds for the Wolverines in their second loss of the season against Montverde. He was reportedly only at 80 percent during the game.
"He's getting there," Smith said. "The reality is that Jabari's 80 percent is better than most people's 100 percent. He's a remarkable player, but he's still not playing at the level that he's capable of. But that comes with time."
Well, if Parker is at 100 percent by year's end, then expect a 4th straight state title for the Wolverines.

text: [[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/zaregoto-02_6571.jpg]]Zaregoto is a light novel series by the [[LightNovel/{{Bakemonogatari}} exceptionally]] [[LightNovel/{{Katanagatari}} prolific]] [[Manga/MedakaBox author]], Nisio Isin. There are currently 9 novels total, with the first two being translated into English by Del Rey Manga.The series is narrated by the college student Ii-chan ([[NoNameGiven or Ii-kun, or Ii-tan]]) as he tries his best to be an "passive observer" of the strange characters, mysteries, and inevitably, murders around him. The cast of the series is quite extensive, except most characters only appear or survive for a single novel. The only other frequent recurring characters are "The Blue Savant" Kunagisa Tomo, and "Humanity's Strongest" Aikawa Jun.''The Kubikiri Cycle'' ("The Beheading Cycle") introduces Ii-chan and Kunagisa as they are invited to the secluded Wet Crow's Feather Island for a gathering of geniuses. The island is owned by Akagami Iria, a wealthy disinherited heiress who has been living in exile on the island with her maids for the last five years. When one of the guests is found dead - decapitated - Iria decides to ask Aikawa Jun to solve the murder. But it will take several days before Jun will arrive, and Ii-chan decides to investigate the mystery while they wait.''The Kubishime Romanticist'' ("The Strangling Romanticist") takes place two weeks after the Kubikiri incident, at Rokumeikan Private University. While eating lunch in the university cafeteria, Ii-chan meets a girl named Aoii Mikoko, a friend he doesn't remember. She later invited him to her friend's birthday party for tomorrow, and with nothing better to do, he agrees. While buying birthday presents for tomorrow, he encounters the infamous serial killer of Kyoto Zerozaki Hitoshiki...The next day, Ii-chan and Mikoko arrives at her friend's apartment and with three other people including the host, they started the party. However, the morning after, the host is found strangled to death. There is also a spinoff known as The Ningen Series that focuses on the Zerozaki family.This page is heavily underdeveloped and NeedsWikiMagicLove.----!!

text: The body found next to a street in Centralia has been identified as that of a local resident. Centralia Police tell the Centralia Chronicle that Anthony P. Fries, 64, did not die of natural causes, but they still haven't said if his death is a homicide or a suicide. Fries' body was found early Sunday morning, next to the roadway in the 100 block of East 3rd Street in Centralia. They say that the body showed signs of trauma, which leads police to believe that the death was not by natural causes. It's noted that Fries did live near where his body was found, but they don't know how he ended up where he did. An autopsy was performed yesterday afternoon, but the results of that procedure haven't yet been disclosed.

Why Did Kobe Bryant's Wife File For Divorce Now?
By Too Fab
Kobe Bryant's wife Vanessa just filed for divorce after 10 years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences, TMZ reports exclusively.
They were very young when they met; Kobe was 21 and Vanessa was a 17-year-old high school senior. They were engaged in May 2000 and wed in April 2001. They have two daughters, Natalia and Gianna.
Their marriage weathered Kobe's sexual assault scandal in 2003, when a 19-year-old hotel employee accused the NBA star of raping her. Kobe admitted to having a sexual encounter with her but denied the assault. The criminal case was dropped after the employee refused to testify, but a settlement was reached in a separate civil trial.

Businesses, advocates, and environmental groups joined together to applaud Gov. Andrew Cuomo for extending the successful NY-Sun Initiative to install ten times more solar power in New York State by 2023. Announced today in honor of Earth Week, the Governor's bold expansion of the state's landmark solar program will support thousands of jobs, lower solar costs and increase energy reliability for New Yorkers.

Driven by small-scale solar, global clean energy investments rise in Q1'14
Global investment in clean energy rose nearly 10% in the first quarter of 2014, to $47.7 billion, due mainly to strong investments in small-scale solar in countries like Japan and the U.S., Bloomberg New Energy Finance said April 16.
Solar grows, with government help
The White House announced new initiatives to support more solar development this week. But the Department of Energy's inspector general cast a cloud, with a report slamming a $68 million loan guarantee gone wrong—shades of the Solyndra failure.
However, solar has actually been growing by leaps and bounds. It provides a little less than 1 percent of U.S. electricity— enough to light more than two million households. Other numbers sound even more impressive.
Georgia solar business booming
The Augusta Chronicle
Georgia's 225-percent increase in jobs related to the solar-energy industry is the highest in the nation as it plays catch-up to other states.
The jump comes largely from a combination of prices and Georgia Power's program to add solar-generating capacity, according to Rhone Resch, president of the Solar Energy Industries Association.
The Climate Group, SEIA Join Forces to Expand Solar, Reduce Pollution
In celebration of Earth Day – and as a way to encourage the widespread use of non-polluting energy sources – The Climate Group and the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) have teamed up to create a Facebook campaign designed to accelerate the adoption of solar energy in the United States.

Solar power gains ground in Iowa
Solar power is gaining ground around the world at "record pace," and a growing number of Iowans are also looking to convert their homes and businesses to the alternative energy, according to Bill Haman, industrial program manager for the Iowa Energy Center.
Gosar defends solar tax incentives
U.S. Rep. Paul Gosar mopped his brow as he strolled past a line of upturned solar cells baking in the afternoon sun. The Republican congressman, a proponent of shrinking government spending, was nonetheless touting the benefits of federal tax incentives for renewable energy.
Massive Solar Plant A Stepping Stone For Future Projects

Corded Heart Necklace
Here is an easy project that makes an elegant gift - it's perfect for teens who don't have a lot of money to spend on presents, but want to give something meaningful and personal. You can make this easily with just a few colors of thread - pick shades to match an outfit, a birthstone, or a favorite color. Then use the new easier-to-use redesign of the Kreinik Custom Corder to make the cording.
36" lengths of the following:
- Kreinik Facets Silver
- Kreinik Metallic #16 Braid 026V Vintage Amethyst
- Kreinik Metallic #16 Braid 5010 Knight
- Berocco Cotton Twist, color 8387 Soul
- Silver heart charm
- silver findings for finishing (end caps or ribbon end-crimps, clasp)
- Kreinik Custom Corder
- Tie the Vintage Amethyst Braid and Silver Facets together at each end. Tie the ends of your Knight Braid and cotton yarn together at one end, then pull the other end of your braid through your Facets/Braid loop. Tie the other ends of the Knight Braid and cotton yarn together. You should now have two interlocking loops.
- Hook one tied end of your Facet/Braid loop over a doorknob, a suction cup on the wall, another stationary object, or have a friend hold it. Place a tied end of your yarn/Braid loop around the hook of the Custom Corder and stand so the loops are taut. Begin twisting the thread using the corder. Twist tightly for a finer finished cord.
- When finished twisting, place your "wedgie" in the corder, hold your end of the cord, and hang the corder over your knots in the center. Bring both ends together, give the corder a slight tug, then let the weight of the corder pull your cord down, twisting as it goes. Tie the ends of your finished cord together to hold it.
- Determine the length you want for your necklace. Cut one end of your cord and slide your charm onto the cord. Knot the end again and finish with a silver end cap. Then cap the other end as well. Add your clasp and wear!
Kreinik threads available through needlework stores or www.kreinik.com.

Unfortunately, it's not very encouraging. Say that you were to find yourself in an unfortunate prostitutional situation: She sees you tied up spread-eagled on your bed and recognizes a robbery opportunity. An hour later she drives away--in your truck--with most of your valuables. And the next thing you know, you're charged with attempted murder.
On June 18, 1994, at about 1:30 p.m., Lakin Wailes, 57, picked up a woman named Janette Doss--with a purpose. According to a police report of the incident, "he asked her to go with him and `do some bondage' because he liked being tied up and whipped."
They returned to Wailes's Commerce City home where, Wailes later recalled, "she tied me down to the bed. Then she started whipping me very hard." (A police officer confirmed this. "Lakin said Janette started to whip him with his consent and then showed me his whip marks on his rear end," he wrote.)
Sometime during the whipping session, however, the mood changed from one of consensual pleasure to one of larceny. Wailes recognized this when Doss began asking him where he kept his wallet. After determining that the blows were getting harder and that she apparently was prepared to beat the information out of him, Wailes relented. Doss exited the room, leaving Wailes securely spread-eagled on the bed.
Doss didn't go far, though. Using Wailes's telephone, she called a friend attending a party. A witness at the party recalls the man, Bruce Jackson, receiving the call. Jackson denies any involvement; but according to police, he arrived at Wailes's house by taxi a half-hour later.
Jackson and Doss stayed inside Wailes's house for just over an hour--long enough to stuff Wailes's 1990 Ford Ranger pickup truck with many of his belongings, including, according to a detective's report, "Realistic 10 Channel scanner, valued at $50; pull-out stereo, valued at $200; Realistic CD player, valued at $110; Canon 35mm camera with telephoto, zoom-lens, wide-angle and flash, valued at $150; 100 U.S. 29-cent stamps; and two (2) packages of ham, valued at $10."
Jackson and Doss couldn't fit all of Wailes's goods into his truck, so they stacked the VCR and portable stereo on the porch. In what turned out to be a crucial oversight, their search for pawnable items failed to uncover Wailes's .32 Special Winchester rifle.
According to police reports, the two drove to a fence, to whom Jackson allegedly sold the items. They then went back to the party where, Doss told police, Jackson said he wanted to return to Wailes's to pick up the VCR and stereo. Doss balked; she was afraid Wailes might have untied himself. Jackson won the argument, though, and at about 11:52 p.m. they pulled back into Wailes's driveway.
Meanwhile, Wailes had indeed worked himself loose from the bed. Noticing that many of his electronic goods and his truck were missing, he called 911 and reported the incident shortly after 6 p.m. The dispatcher told him that a police officer was on the way. About 45 minutes later Wailes called again to complain that nobody had arrived to take his report yet. The dispatcher told him to be patient.
Wailes told police that he had seen the VCR and stereo on his porch and deduced that Doss and her friend might be back. So he wrapped himself in his sleeping bag, grabbed his rifle and waited in the backyard.
According to neighbors, when Jackson and Doss arrived at Wailes's house, Jackson got out of the truck and walked casually toward the door. His progress was interrupted, however, when Wailes walked out from behind the house and began firing his rifle from the waist, cowboy-style.
Jackson ran back to the truck, jumped in and peeled out of the driveway. But not before Wailes was able to squeeze off four or five rounds. One shot was way off the mark: It penetrated a neighbor's plate-glass window and wound up in a bedroom wall.
Two others, however, were right on target. One pierced the passenger-side door and smashed into Doss's lower leg. Another bullet entered her thigh and left through her hip. Despite Doss's injuries, however, the couple did not seek immediate medical help. "Janette told [Jackson] she needed to go to the hospital," a police report reads. "He told Janette he would drop her off, but before that he needed to stop by a friend's house and sell the car stereo and the CB, which he did."
Meanwhile, Wailes returned to his house and dialed 911 a third time. The dispatcher, who'd just received a report of shots at Wailes's address, tried to pin down the source. Wailes was candid.
Dispatcher: "Did they shoot at your house?"
Wailes: "No, I shot at them. Are you gonna arrest me?"
Dispatcher: "I have no idea. I doubt it, but that's up to the officers."
Wailes: "Goddamn, I gotta protect what I got."
Unfortunately for him, the Adams County district attorney, Bob Grant, didn't entirely agree. He charged Wailes with attempted first-degree murder for shooting at Jackson and Doss and first-degree assault for the shot that went through the neighbor's window.

Mexico comeback claims sixth Gold Cup
PASADENA, California (AP)
West Ham winger Pablo Barrera scored twice as Mexico rallied to beat the United States 4-2 and claim its second consecutive Gold Cup title on Saturday.
Andres Guardado and Giovani Dos Santos also scored for Mexico, which has now won the tournament six times.
Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez, who led this year's Gold Cup with seven goals for Mexico, was named the tournament's most valuable player.
''There's no better moment than victory,'' Mexico coach Jose Manuel de la Torre said. ''Everything else is in the past now.''
The United States got off to a bright start as Michael Bradley headed in Freddy Adu's corner in the 8th minute and Landon Donovan fired a shot into the net in the 23rd for a 2-0 lead.
''You're worried and you don't want to become disorganized,'' de la Torre said about falling behind early. ''The United States was playing well. They surprised us with the first goal. We pushed too far up in the second goal. Fortunately, we were able to maintain our calm.''
Barrera scored his first goal when he sent the ball just inside the right post in the 29th minute and Guardado equalized for Mexico seven minutes later after a Dos Santos pass from the right side of the area deflected off defender Eric Lichaj, setting him up from five yards (meters) out.
Barrera gave Mexico the lead in the 50th minute when he slipped a shot beneath the right hand of diving U.S. goalkeeper Tim Howard.
Dos Santos, who spent the second half of the just-completed European season on loan from Tottenham at Racing Santander, sealed the win in the 76th minute by lofting the ball over Lichaj into an open net.
''Things were difficult, but the coach told us to fight every single play,'' Hernandez said. ''Our attitude is in our hands.''
U.S. coach Bob Bradley said he hoped the loss would be a ''learning experience'' for his squad.
''We're disappointed,'' he added. ''A game like this, when you're together for a month, you feel like you've grown and put yourself in the final and let it get away ... it's an empty feeling.''
Donovan said the team did a good job containing Hernandez but didn't have an answer for Mexico's other stars, including Barrera and Dos Santos.
''They're as dynamic as any Mexican team I've played against,'' he said. ''They've got a few guys who can change the game in a heartbeat.''
The win qualifies Mexico for the 2013 Confederations Cup, an international preview tournament ahead of the World Cup in Brazil the following year.
The announced attendance of 93,420 was the largest for a Gold Cup match in the United States, but the vast majority of the crowd was supporting Mexico.
''Obviously, the support that Mexico has on a night like tonight makes it a home game for them,'' Bradley said. ''It's something that we expected. As a team, we understand that it's part of what we've got to deal with.''
Guardado played on a slightly sprained left ankle after being injured in Mexico's 2-0 semifinal victory over Honduras on Wednesday.
U.S. defender Steve Cherundolo left the game in the 11th minute, also with a sprained left ankle.

Peacock predicts records
British sprinter relishing Paralympic battle with South African
Last Updated: 23/08/12 1:27pm
Jonnie Peacock: Predicting record race
Jonnie Peacock predicts his battle of the 'Blade Runners' with Oscar Pistorius could shatter the world record and set alight the Paralympic Games.
At just 19 Peacock is the young gun who will line up against Pistorius and the likes of Blake Leeper, Jerome Singleton and Arnu Fourie in a mouth-watering 100 metres.
Peacock broke Pistorius' T44 world record in June, recording 10.85 seconds to lower the great man's mark by 0.06secs. Now he believes all the medal contenders could run under 11 seconds in a race to prove the Paralympics is about outstanding ability, not disability.
"Getting a medal is not going to be a walk in the park in London. It is so competitive. Everyone could run under 11," said Peacock. "I know Oscar is training his socks off and he is going to get results. It wouldn't surprise me if he broke the world record again.
"I'm just going to concentrate on executing well but I'm pretty sure Oscar's going to be capable of something special and I wouldn't be surprised if Leeper ran a 10.8.
"But no one goes to sleep and says 'I wish I could get that bronze'. Everyone wants the gold. It would mean the world to me, but I'm not going to put too much pressure on myself."
He might not be doing so, but come the Games all eyes will be on Peacock with his mop of blond hair plus his youthful exuberance, eloquence and determined belief that gold is his destiny.
Not that Peacock is arrogant. Far from it. He comes across as a rounded, mature, fun-loving teenager, one who is determined to follow in the trail-blazing blades of Pistorius.
Peacock was taken aback when he first saw Pistorius in action, adding: "I was flicking through the channels. Somebody had told me about the guy who runs with no legs. It was the first time I had seen it and I thought 'Wow'.
"Since then I have probably seen every single video Oscar has put on YouTube. It was weird to see all that and then in my first international in 2010 to be in the lane next to him.
"That was surreal. We had a quick chat. I watch that race now and I cringe. My technique was so ugly. But he's doing so much for Paralympic sport, raising the profile with athletes, pushing their limits. He is such a good role model to learn from for anybody who wants to get into sport."
Peacock lost his right leg below the knee when he contracted meningitis as a five-year-old. It is why he believes he will never compete at the Olympics like Pistorius in the 400m, the 100m requiring the dynamic start which Peacock's disability renders impossible.
No Olympics
Peacock said: "The first 200m are Oscar's disadvantage and the last 200 he comes through, everyone knows that. In the 100m there is no last 200 to come through, so unfortunately I cannot see the day when (competing at the Olympics) would happen.
"Saying I would be capable of 10.1 is unrealistic because of the disadvantage at the start. But who knows? Never say never. I thought I was only going to run 11.0 this year and I ran 10.85 and I am going to run faster than that."
That 10.85 put him 18th in the UK in the under-20 age group and training alongside such characters as Olympic athletes Dwain Chambers, Christian Malcolm, Marlon Devonish and Steve Lewis can only see the lad from Cambridge improve.
"Three years ago when I got involved in Paralympic sport I was running 13 seconds and my goal was just to run faster than the slowest person," he said. "I thought if I could run 12.5 I would be happy. Then I wanted to run 11.5. In all honesty I'm never happy.
"I was happy for a split second when I ran that 10.85, maybe for about an hour, then I saw all the things I did wrong and I was instantly annoyed with myself again, saying 'for God's sake Jonnie, when are you ever going to get a race right'?"
